"Now that you are married." said the experienced minister to the young curate, "you will have to stop using the church Bible for home study Oh, ye;. I know how it is. You get at tached to a certain Bible, and can study better with that right under your nose, and would willingly pack it back and forth for the inspiration it affords. I"ve been through it. Used Jo do that very thing myself, but aft er half a dozen veils and a pair of gioves and some little lacey things that I shall not attempt to specify lloated down from the pulpit on Sun day mornings in view of the aston ished and amused congregation. I ac customed myself to two Bibles. The women folk will put things into the Bible to press. It Is a habit you can't break them of and the first thing yon know these feminine knick knacks go sailinz away to humiliate you " That night the curate turned the p:iges of his Pible carefully. A veil and a scrap of lace fell out. He sigh ed. The next day he began to culti vate an affection for a second Bible. THEN THE AGENT FLED. Insurance Agent Fd like to write a policy on your life.

For bulbs to keep well over winter and grow well the following spring or summer when they are planted they must have special care before storing. First, as soon as the stalks have been killed by frost cut them off a few inch es above the ground. The bulbs or rubers will have matured before this time and they cannot secure more nourishment from the frosted 2nd dead stems. Injuc may result if the frost ed stems are allowed to remain. Let 'he bulbs and tubers remain in the soil till late in the fall or till just be 'ore the ground begins to freeze hard. They -will keep belter in their natural some in the so:l, under normal mois ure conditions, than they will out of he soil. If the soil becomes very wet lftor the flrst frosts, then it will be better to dig them immediately. Select bright, clear weather for dig ging the oulbs. Begin the work in the norning after the dew ia off the dead grass. Lift the clump or single bulb with a garden spade, being careful not o injure any of the underground partsp shake off any excess of adher ng soil and lay the tubers and bulbs an the dry ground for sunning. If the ground is wet or very damp place dry straw or leaves under them so that fhey will dry on all sides. At night protect them with straw, canvas or -oine covering to keep out dampness ind prevent possible freezing Tncov r tliem each morning for exposure to iir and sun and let them cure in this iiaiLier from three to five day3. Be sure that any soil that may be remain ng on them is perfectly dry before hey are placed in storage.

TIKE FOR PICKING APPLES Fled Variety Is Often Left for Seme i Time to Allow Them to Put ! on More Color. The time for picking red apples is :ommonly gauged by their color, and that of yellow apples by the color of the seeds. The latter is the only re liable test of ripeness, for an apple picked just as the seeds are turned 'ight brown, and before they become dark around the edges, will be found :o have not only full flavor but the best keeping quality. But red apples ire often left for some time after the seeds indicate maturity to allow them to put on more color, which they do rapidly under the Influence of the bright days and cool nights of au tumn. Growers should bear in mind, how aver, that to defer picking after the seeds indicate ripeness, invites water :ore and shortens the life of the fruit In storage, often to a serious extent with the mid-winter varieties. Spraying Fruit Trees. If your neighbor's orchard has been sprayed at least twice during the sea son it will interest you to compare the quality and quantity of his fruit with yours, if yours has not been sprayed. If your orchard produces poor fruit you may be sure there is a reason and you ought to find it. Whitewashed Trees. A little whitewash on the trunks of Ihe shade trees will make the trees look attractive and give the place an appearance of refinement. The lime In the whitewash will be repulsive to bark beetles and borers for a while. Set Out Gooseberries. September is a good month to set out gooseberries. A spraying of the currant and other small fruit bushes will help. Canning fruits and vegetables has become a great industry in certain sec tions of the country. A little nitrate of soda worked In well with the soil around the roots will keep things going. In trimming trees the wound made oy cutting oft a limb close to the trunk will soon heal over. It pays to pack fruit in clean bas kets for the local market and it pays also to wrap them in paper. Just as soon as possible after rasp berry picking Is the time to look after tha old canes among the new ones. The small grower will find it ex pensive, and in the long run unsatis factory, to use both the barrel and the box. Do not be stingy of water for the plants. Soak them plenty once or twice a week, and don't dribhle ones a day. Grapes must be left on the vines un til fully ripe and sweet if they are to be enjoyed, for they lmprce but little after picking. I ALLJL.tfittili NOTES MMDOWBR00K Keep the pigs growing. Chicks must have fresh water. Never expect to work miracles with the cow. Chicken wire makes a good trellis for tomatoes. The greatest damage to soil is usually done after harvest. Grind the corn yen feed the old sheep. Their teeth may be poor. Young chicks still with the hens thrive better on a variety of foods. The disk is the tool to prepare the corn stubble for the small grain. Horses enjoy a good drink, but they don't have to go to town to get it. Never throw fruit of any kind into a basket or box. Lay it in gently. The production of a cow above a certain standard constitutes the pro fit. Manure, sod and lime are three best ways of increasing the humus in the soil. Keep the hedges clipped. Buck thorn is one of the easiest hedges handled. There is hardly a limit to the re sources of the rat to exterminate chicks. Sheep suffer the least from a defi ciency of drinking water, and horses and cattle the most. t It is well worth while to exert every energy possible to keep your present supply of live stock. I When the pigs' tails begin to hang down straight it is time to get out the worm medicine. A good colt bred for a purpose, and fed and trained for a purpose, is never a drug on the market. Sprav pumps and spray materials "are now the main topic of conversa- tion among fruit growers. The best use of stable manure is to haul it out as fast as made and spread it broadcast over sod ground. The present shortage of forage i crops should emphasize the necessity for a reserve supply in silos. 1 More small hogs have probably been 1 marketed in the last two years than ever before during the same time. For the protection of dairy stock, as i well aa for live stock cenerally, wind breaks and tree sherter are Invaluable. i A litle salt sprinkled with coal ashes is as much relished by the hogs as "Cracker Jack" is relished by the boys. The first step in better cream qual ity in hot weather is to separate the milk immediately, as soon as it is milked. The full feed to the idle horse has cost the life of many a good one. Ad just the feed to the work the horse does. When the early peas ripen stake off the finest part of a row and do not pick any of them, but save them all for Seed. Keep the new strawberry bed clean cultivated until the runners are mat ted too mueh to permit the cultivator to go through. Those farmers who kept up their cultivation of the soil not only kept the corn over the dry spell but in creased the yield. Milk that is properly pasteurized and then kept at a low tempearture .will keep much longer, as a rule, than that which is not treated. Apples should be picked just as soon as they have reached full size and color and not allowed to remain on the trees until they begin to drop off. The wild high-bush cranberry, com mon in many marshy districts, is good, both as an ornament on the lawn and for making jelly. The right time to castrate pigs is a week or so before they are weaned, if healthy: if delicate, wait a week or so until they are stronger. All milk cans should be washed first in cold water, then thoroughly cleansed with warm water, and finally rinsed in scalding hot water. We cannot expect even the best pure-hred to produce animals without a blemish every time. It is always a case of the survival of the fittest. The 1.400-pound mule is becoming a popular draft animal. He is tough, eats less than a horse of the same weight, and if sound will sell for $300 or better. Cockerels will be better finished for market by shutting them up and feed ing specially for a week ca crushed corn and skimmed 'milk, all they can at nn clean, also plenty of grit. fi J bbbts7bbYmbbXXiT mvvt r Provide the hegs witfl a wallow. The cement silo is growing steadily In favor. The A-sbaped pig pen is too hot for summer. Many weeds interfere with the rota tion of crops. Silage may be cut In almost any size desired. Watch the swill barrel. Keep It sweet and clean. Hogs thrive much better on a ra tion rich in nitrogen. There are a few who save some of their own seed from the garden. Hogs enjoy a tank of clean water to bathe in during the hot days. Never allow roses to remain on the bush until the petals begin to falL The common and cut-leaf elders have proved good lawn plants this year. t One of the best foods for growing chickens is the curd from skimmed milk. A majority of poorly formed draft horses have shoulders which are too steep. Get a good variety of Lima and ' bush beans and save the first to ripen. Too many farmers have failed to ap preciate the possibilities of rye as hog , pasture. j Second crop alfalfa is fine for the pig. but if pastured very closely it will soon ran out. A straw-colored open shed for the stock is a much needed thing on the treeless farm. Rotted manure should be spread on the plowed ground and well worked in I with the harrow. ! Even if we can not get fancy prices j for o:;r horses, there are good profits j in glowing colts. A good sized horte has a wider field of usefulness than a small one, and is i worth more accordingly. Uniformity in the size of a bunch of hogs has a preat deal to do with j the pricp they will bring. If yon hava your hogs on soar mi!k. ' keep them ther To change to sweet may upset their digestion. ' The Iarpe farm is more profitable i than the small farm It managers of the proper ability can be had. I There is no feed better for young pigs and calves than sweet skim j milk right from the separator. j If a poult ryman or a farmer does j not tak ar. interest in poultry, he had better not keep any at alL Keep the sweet peas picked. It is j better for the plants and the house j can be made more attractive by their j use. f Sav.- seeds of trees and shrubs, as j they ripen, and plant them. This is one way to multiply your ornamental plants. Many people recognize the value of a pure bred sire but comparatively few stop to think just how valuable he is. The sow should be given a warm mill-feed slop, made fresh for each meal, whole cats and a little sound corn twice a day. 1 t Weed out the inferior birds, whether j as to size, form or quality, at the earliest possible moment, feeding the two lots separately. 1 A large per cent, of poultry, espe- j ctallv voung chicks, die through drink ing from puddles and dirty water in their drinking troughs. The phosphates, when used in con nection with the ancient manures and rotted sod, which is the same as hu mus, will pay handsomely. The pig can eat more than he can digest; and digest more than he can use. So It is not a fact that a pig can take care of all he can eat. Every inclosure for the hogs should be perfectly tight, and with excellent wire fences that are now manufactur ed this is an easy matter. It makes some horses ugly to work them with horses that do not travel up with them. Match them as to gait as well aa to other thinga. Supply clear water. It la essential to health and to the ben for the pro duction of the egg. the contents of which are nearly three parts water. There are few cows which will act stand more quietly during the milking process if they have nothing else to at tract their attention. Successful dairy expansion in volves the intelligent systematic grad ing or building up of a herd, both by selection and breeding. During the pregnancy of the sow. she should be allowed plenty of exer cise and proper food, and there will be little trouble in giving birth to her offspring. Not only should an ample supply of pure water be provided for domestic use, but It should be conveniently lo cated to avoid unnecessary labor in bringing it into the house. If sows are carelessly fed during pregnancy, trouble of some kind is sure to follow at farrowing; if over fed after farrowing, losses may occur among the pigs from scours and thumps. HAVE YCU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS? Thousands suffer from backache. headache, dizziness and weariness without suspecting their kidneys. ;Tj.j7M Mrs. Joseph Gross, yTAkamrf ChUTCh St., Morrillton, Arlt. says: "For weeks I was all doubled over with pain. I became so dizzy I had to grasp something to keep from falling and my ankles were swollen to nearly twice their natural size None of the doctors un derstood my case and I felt myself sinking lower day by day. I improved rapidly through the use of Doan's Kid ney Pills and at last was entirely cured." "When Your Back is Lame. Remem ber the Xame DOAN'S."

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old, she was taken with a very irritating breaking out. which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it, it came in little watery-Jike festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days it would dry down in scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a bock on Cuticura. and pur chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint ment at the drug store. I did as I found directions in the Cuticura Book let, and when she was one year old. she was entirely cured. Xow she is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cared by the Cuti cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. (Signed) :!rs.
