'Nurses" &xperie2\ce. Medical men say that a good nurse in a difficult case is better than med icine , but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine , the patient stands a much * better chance of re covery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King , are well worthy the attention of all readers : "I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in Ihe various situations J have occupied as Burse , and have invariably found it excellent in all cases requiring outward application , cuch'as sprains , bruises , rheumatic affection * , neuralgia , etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy well rubbed in. I can strongly recommend it after several years' seand experience. It should be in every kousehold. " Sister CAROI "NSt. . Andrew's Hospital , unites : "I have found St. Jacobs Oil a most efficacious remedy in gout ; also in sprains and bruises. .Indeed , we cannot say too much In its praise , and our doctor is ordering it constantly. " tor Hyphfii. London Tit-Bits tells the story of ft toucher who has just given a lesson n the hyphen. Thinking that his class understood the use of it , he wrote the word "bird's-nest" on the blackboard. "Now , boys , why do we have a hyphen between birds and nest ? " the teacher. Several hands went up and the teacher pointed to a small boy who seemed very anxious to answer. "For the birds to roost on , " was the reply. School lor l.\on Tamer * .

Sullivan , 111. , March : < ! . Mis. KiMy F. Senuoy was very 111 for mouths .in- . ! notwithstanding the best possible mo'l- ' ical attendance she got no better. The doctors said she had Bright's Disease , and gave her little or uo hope of ever being well again. She suffered greftt pain in her back , which nothing seemed able to relieve , till at hist encouraged by the reputa tion Dodd's Kidney Pills have attained in the community as a cure for Kiduey Diseases , she began to use them. The result was a surprise both to Mrs. Seauey anl the physicians , for Boon after the treatment was com menced her kidneys threw off large quantities of dark diseased matter and she improved rapidly. She used in nil ten boxes , and has completely recov ered good health without pain or symp toms of the Bright's Disease. JL'roiiuiicintioii .F.ids. Where polite usage gets its author ity nobody knows. Now it is saying that "valet , " the final syllable of which we have learned to ; ive olT- hand with a high-bred "a" shall be Anglicized just as "parquet" was a few years ago. and shall appear in polite society in its plain English stubbiness. It is liiceiv that we shall all stumble and stutter and make mistakes at lirst but eventually fall in line of "ets. " There are those who claim that a polite "suburb1' should have a long "u" , that "tap estry" should be "a" lonp , and that t-ho sun never "shone" politely with 'a long "o. " The same authorities are busy with the new automobile importation "chafTeur" ( cho-f'-ur ) . which has been called everything that is polite. It might be called something more , tor it is not a truth ful term. It means , when interpre ted , "fireman , " "stoker , " and is in nocently a good joke on our million aires who speed their own "autos. " Great Round World. h I Pollinsky is a powerful intoxicant , i used chielly by the Polish coal miners in Pennsylvania. It is made of stale beer , cheap whisky , and various spices. It is drank as an ' 'enlivener'1 ' at christenings , weddings and wakes. and in one hour after the entire com- * pnn.v is roaring drunk , in two hours is an uproarious rumpus , and knives come into play.

The field for this branch of farming is very great , as is shown by the fact that the corn growers of Illinois alone use over 1,000,000 bush els of seed every year. Of course it is not necessary that this seed be secured from the breeder fresh every 3ear , but seed will not as a rule remain puiv more than four or five years. It then becomes necessary to : ! gnin secure well-bred seed. As yet the demand has been but little developed. Fanners are just beginning to realize the import ance and beneiit of improved seed , but even uow corn breeders : ire not able to supply the demand. That this demand will iiKTonse far beyond the capacity of corn breeders to supply tin-re is no doubt. A. 1) . Shamel , in Orauge Judd Farmer. Safety Milk Pail. Many a pail of milk has been lost by n kick from the cow just as the task of milking her was about finished and many a stray bit of dirt falls into the open pail if the farmer is not ex tremely careful in his labors. John Heustis King , of Garrity , Ala. , be lieves that the pail he has just de- SAFETY PAIL. signed will save the milk in case of an upset pail and also prevent the gathering of impuri ties. In the picture tho details of construc tion of this improved pail are shown. The top of the pail has a screw-thread ed flange , tovhich a receiving bowl is secured by a similar liauge. In the cemer > f this bo\vl is a strain el1 , and below ! ho strainer is an open frame in which "is placed a loose cone corre sponding in shape toJthe under side of thestrainer. .

This box is then enclosed in piaster paris one-quarter inch thick , this being a train covered with special paper.

Seltiitic Strawberry Plants. Any one who believes in fall setting of strawberry plants hasopportunity / this year. The weather since fruiting has been such that the rummers have made a good growth , and . there has beoiij moisture enough for' ' uewly set plants. We think we seldom saw plants set in the spring , and weill , cared for luring the summer , produce us mauy .r as handsome berries its we have en on those set the same { year in Au- Excepting some of th < ? new varie ties , one can get as many plants as he wants , well known and standard kinds , for a triliinj.1 sum \ * not for nothing , at this season or na year in almost any neighborhood.t f 'an Cultivator. { A void iiiacnch Yellows. ! It may not be generally known that peach yellows is found in every State in the Union , with six exceptions. Of course , it is worse in some States than In others , but it exists in all States where the peach is grown , except in California. .Mississippi. Texas , and parts of Alabama. Florida and Georgia , ' and there is no cure for it. In orchards , located in Georgia and in New Jersey , there is apparently no difference in the j severity of the disease when at jts j worst , and the trouble apparently at tacks trees budded on stocks grown from pits obtained from different sec tions of the country. It is safe to bay that with the possible exception of Cal ifornia pits , it is as safe to select the pits for budding stocks from the finest fruit on the most healthy trees in one's own orchard as from any other source Teaching Lainbs to Feed. When a lamb is two weeks old it h ready for feeding something in addi tion to the ewe's milk. It is true that by feeding the ewe her milk will be increase i , but the tirst thing to do is tc feed the ewes , for the sake of tin lambs , which may be f/d indirectlj in this way from the first day of theii lives. The lambs are easily taught to feed by themselves if they are provid ed with suitable feeding pens intc which they may go through narrow openings too small for the ewes. Thiv is the simplest matter possible. Tc catch a lamb and take it into the pen and put a little of the feed provided into its mouth is all thai is needed ; the lambs will do thTresr ( : for where oni goes all will want to go instauter.- Farmers' Voice. Early Puritau Potato. As a rule the early potato crop is the profitable one , although the past sea son good money was made from late potatoes , and especially if the best ta ble varieties' were grown. The Early Puritan , one of the new varieties , has been tested in different potato sections sufficiently to prove its merit. The skin is nearly white , most early sorts of value having a pink skin. In flavoi THE EAULY I'UK I TAN. the variety is first-class and the tuber cooks well , being dry and mealy , anoth er point hard to find among early sorts It is a good keeper also. Millions of KfjETS. New York City , according to the sta tistical expert of the New York Her ald , consumes 2,1'SP. eggs every minute of the flay , which means 100.UOU.OOC dozen a year. The city may feel hide pendent of the hen so far as the hatch ing process is concerned , but is entirely dependent for i' ° < ipply of eggs or the mootly ere : : "ho regulates hei output accordin , the weather hap pens to suit her v ur.us. These hens ge' ' food ad lodging for their part of tin work , and their owners receive § 20,000- 000 a year for the 342 eggs that they supply annually to each inhabitant ol the city. Bavarian Hops. Although hops have been grown in this country for a great many years , they have always been inferior as com pared with the best European hops , and , as they bring a lower price in the market and are not so desirable as the Bavarian hops , cuttings of the best of the latter were imported last year. These cuttings have been placed in the hop-growing districts of the Un.ted States and , according to the report of the Secretary fo Agriculture , promise to be far superior to the ordinary va rieties grown , in addition to maturing earlier and extending the picking sea son. Vv'iritcr Treatment of San "Jose Scale. Winter spraying to destroy the Sail .lose scale is most effective. Summer spraying is usually necessary in addi tion , but the insecticide cannot be made as strong as in the winter season when there are no bvds to injure. There are several remedies for the scale , but crude petroleum is the best for use in winter , and it may be usi-d only slightly dilurcd. The work must be thoroughly done , every branch being touched with the petrrkum. and several applications made if necessary. If done thoroughly in winter it is probable that only one or two light sprayings would be necessary in the summer. Keep Sheep in Good Condition. A sheep should never be allowed to fall off in condition. Its constitution is weakened permanently. The15p of wool is seriously injured. No ani mal is so diflicult to restore to good condition as the sheep , and there is none where a loss of flesh tells so quickly upon its outward covering. J. F. Hancock. Choosinjr a I > airy Cow. Never choose a dairy cow because she is fat. sleek and a beauty. In a dairy cow "beauty is as beauty does. " The fat and sleek dairy cow doesn't do the handsome thing. The scraggy , bony cow does. Therefore she is the real dairy beauty. The grape has more sugar in it than any other fruit , nearly. 15 parts In 100 being sugar.

If in need of a laxative remedy the mo t excellent is CTTI ; ) of Figs , but when anything laore than a laxative is required the safe anil scientific plan is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines which clahu to cure all manner of diseases. The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all : a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of old-time cathartics and modern imitations are still sold , but with the general diffusion of knowledge , as to the best medicinal agents , Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed , because it is a remedy of known value aud ever beneficial action. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of 'the laxative and carminative principles of plants , known to act most beccfieially on the system , with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids , but also to the orginal method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial efiects one should always note the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on tho front of every package. 1 i ?
