From the Awful Tortures of Kidney
Disease.
Mrs. Ttnchel I vie, Henrietta, Texas,
Bays: "I would bo ungrateful If I did
not tell what Doan'a
Kidney Tills hnvo
done for mo. Fifteen
years kidney troublo
clung to mc, my ex
lstence was one of
v misery and for two
whole years I was un
nble to go out of the
house. My back ached all the time and
I was utterly weak, unable at times to
walk without assistance. The kidney
secretions wero very Irregular. Doan'a
Kidney Pills restored mo to good
health, and I am able to do as much
work ns the nverago woman, though
nearly eighty years old."

When to Send Children to Europe.
Some pontile wait so long beforo
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are humiliated by others
who have already been there. Kvory
self-respecting parent will bo careful
not to subject his children to this evi
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry Is to be avoided.
Some people argue that ns soon ns a
child can walk well and speak a few
necessary French words, ho should bo
placed In a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. Oth
ers feel that he must naturally loso
much at this age, and that the proper
time Is between 11 vo and six, when
as an American he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the Ideal ago Is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
Franco nnd Italy, and get home In
time for the first night at the opera.

And There Are Others.
The cook had been called away to a
sick sister, nnd so the newly wed mis
tress of the house undertook, with tho
nld of tho maid, to get tho Sunday
luncheon. Tho llttlo maid, who had
been struggling In tho kitchen with a
colfeo mill that would not work, con
fessed thnt she had forgotten to wusb

"Woll, never mind, Pearl. Go on

Origin of Word "Bible."
Tho word bible is derived from the
Latin name biblia, which was treated
ns a singular although It comes from
tho Greek neuter plural, meaning "llt
tlo books." This Greek diminutive
was derived from byblus, or papyrus,
the famous matorlal on which ancient
books wore written. The titlo "Bible"
was first used nbout tho middle of tho
second Christian century In tho so
called second epistle of Clement
(xlv., 2).

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by

It's not an easy matter to satisfy nil
the rocmbors of the family at meal

And when tlo husbnnd has dyspep

food without cnusing troublo, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husband's health was poor, ho
had no appotlte for anything I could
get for him, it seemed.
"Ho was hardly able to work, wob
taking medicine continually, nnd as
soon ns ho would feel better would go
to work again only to glvo up in n
fow weeks. Ho suffored severely with
stomach trouble.
"Tired of everything I had been nblo
to got for him to cat, ono day seeing
an advertisement nbout Grape-Nuts, I
got some and tried It for breakfast tho
next morning.
"Wo all thought it was pretty good
although wo had no Idea of using It
regulnrly. But when my husband camo
homo at night ho asked for Grape
Nuts. "It was tho same next day and I
had to got it right along, becauso when
wo woald get to tho table tho question,
'Have you any Grape-Nuts' was a reg

ONE-POLE HAY-STACKER PLAN
Care Should Be Exercised In Selecting
the Timber to Avoid Getting One
with Flaws.
The accompanying Illustration
shows how the one-polo form of liny
stacker Is usually constructed. Somo
caro should bo used In selecting tho
upright pole In order to avoid one
possessing a flaw or weak place. A
good cedar telephone pole serveB the
purpose well. Tho arm should also
bo sound and freo from Haws, and It Is
fastened to tho main pole by moans
of plank cleats nnd a largo bolt. Tho
outer end Is held In place by n guy
ropo fastened to the top of tho upright
pole. Threo guy ropes nro used to
hold tho stacker In position. These
should be placed so as not to Interfere
with tho nrm when It swings from tho
load to tho stack. The hay-fork should

operate on n pulley, one end of tho
hay rope being attached to tho other
end of tho nrm. Tho other end of the
hay rope passes over a pulley near
tho end of the arm from thence to ono
attached to tho top of tho upright polo,
then downward to a pulley attached to
the base of the upright pole, where
upon the singletree Is attached. Tho
pulleys over which tho hay ropo runs
nt tho top and bottom of tho upright
pole are in Uno only when the arm

When above tho load these pulleys
nro out of line. The strain put on
tho hay ropo when pulling up n load
tends to bring theso pulleys back Into
line again, which Bwlngs the nrm over
the stack.
HOW TO KEEP RATS AWAY
Practical Method of Preventing Ro
dents from Getting Into Water by
Concrete Curbing.
A very practical idea for preventing
rats from working under well plat
forms and around tho curbing, in
which caso they foul tho water more
or less, is to surround tho curbing
with concrete to a thickness of from
four to six inches. This is dono by
digging down tho side of tho curbing
with n ttlo spado and then Ailing In
with concrete. A mixture of ono part
Concrete Curb.
cement, throe parts sand, and six
parts broken tile or rock is very sat
isfactory for this purpose. Tho con
crete should extend down tho sides of
tho well at least threo feet. It Is also
a good plan If tho well Is on lovol
ground to extend tho concroto six
Inches or a foot abovo tho Burfaco and
then grndo around tho same. This
will prevent surface wuter from enter
ing tho well.
Skim-Milk Paint.
Tho Scientific Amerlcnn, In com
mending skim milk for painting, gives
tho following directions for making it
nnd somo results from Its use. It
says:
"Stir Into n gallon of milk nbout
three pounds of Portland cement nnd
ndd sufllclent Venotlnn red paint pow
der to impurt a good color. Any
other colored paint powder mny as
well be used. Tho milk will hold tho
paint in suspension, but tho cement,
being heavy, will sink to tho bottom,
so that it becomes necessary to keep
the mlxturo well stirred with a
paddle. Mix only enough at a time
for one day's uso. Six hours after
painting this paint will bo as Immov
nblo and unaffected by water ns n
month-old paint. Cases nro on record
at this Bort of pnlnt bolng in good
condition nftor 20 years and It has
preserved the wood admirably. Tho
addition of carbolic acid or somo
other disinfectant makes it very suit
able for dairy work, as It then has a
cleansing effect.
Practical Farming.
Hay should bo well forked nml
shaken nnd slightly dampened nnd
fed on tho floor or in slatted man
gors. The farmer should not buy his
work horses ho should rnlso them.
Ho can grow thorn at a profit.
It Is better for tho average farmer
to ralso draft colts.
Only tho man who Is a horn horso
lover can ralso roadsters profitably.
Colts llko lino liny much better thnn
they do coarse. Second-growth hay,
fed n llttlo at a time, Is preferable.
Shredded corn fodder Is rollshed,
hut should bo fed In the samo way a
llttlo at n time. Grain should bo fed
liberally.

souri Valley Farmer. The projecting
part of tho floor Is made tho bottom
of the box. A cover Is hinged to tho
box so that It may bo taken out, iib
shown by tho dotted lines. To facil
itate the use of the shovel, tho open
ing Into tho crib is closed for a space
of two feet, either in the middle or

theso will bo no corn upon tho floor

SET ASPARAGUS AND RHUBARB
In October and November Is
Time to Set Out These
Hardy Plants.
Best
All hardy plants that commenco
growth as soon ns frost la out of tho
giound should bo set out In the fall.
The best tlmo In the middle Atlnntic
states is from October 10 to Novem
ber 20. If set out later than UiIb
period they should bo covered with a
little long stable manure or leaves to
prevent Injury fiom deep freezing.
Ithuharb and asparagus plants, wheth
er young or old, begin to develop
buds which form tho stalks Just as
soon ns tho weather turns mild in the
spring. As soon as tho buds develop
there la a corresponding growth ot
rootlets. When the plants are set out
In tho fall tho earth Is settled about
the plants nnd root nnd top growth
starts early In spring, frequently ns
early us the last week In March. Fall
planted roots not only mnko an early
growth, but they becomo so firmly es
tablished In their new homo ns to bo
better able to resist tho dry, hot days
of tho following summer.
Hardy Bhrubs, deciduous trees, also
apple, pear and plum trees, black
berry, raspberry and currant busheB
should always bo set out In tho fall If
It Is possible to obtain the trees and
bushes. If planted In spring they
should be set out just ns soon ns tho
frost Is out of the ground and tho
ground Is dry enough to handle. This
work should not be commenced until
tho lenves fall that Is, not beforo tho
tenth of October.
PROBLEM OF ARID FARMING
Securing of Moisture, Which Must
First Be Gotten Into Soli and
Kept There.
The great problem of arid fnrming
is the securing of moisture, which
must first be gotten into tho soil nnd
then kept there until tho plnnts need
it. The land should be plowed deep
ly In the fall to make an adequato
reservoir for tho storing of tho win
ter moisture. The land should bo fal
lowed during alternate years so that
tho molsturo of two years will bo
avallablo to tho crop. Tho fallow
land should bo kept cultivated nnd
freo from weeds to prevent the evap
oration of water from tho surface.
Deep-rooted crops should bo selected
so that they can reach far and wldo
for moisture.

Late Celery.
It Is about tlmo to plant lato celery
and too much attention ennnot bo
given in propnring tho boII, says tho
Cultivator. Celery thrives best in
nolla abounding in vegetnblo matter,
so that any kind of manuro enn bo
used freoly for this crop. It should bo
thoroughly Incorporated with tho
soil to a depth of at lenst eight
inches. Muny small growers ntill
f practice growing in trenches, but level
cuituro is preicrreu tor various rea
sons. If tho crop is to bo blanched with
soil thero should bo from four to five
feet of spaco between rows. It is cus
tomary to spaco six to eight inches
apart In tho row, but flvo or six
inches Is sufllclent If tho ground is
very rich.
Weeds In Unclean Seed.
