any one asking same by postal card , or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements , copied from
standard medical books of all the differ

only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases , but also for the cure of all catarrhal -
tarrhal , bronchial and throat affections ,
accompained with catarrhal discharges ,
hoarseness , sore throat , lingering , or ,
bang-on-coughs , and all those wasting
affections which , if not promptly and
properly treated tire liable to terminate
in consumption. Take Dr. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in its use
until yon jjivo it a fair trial und it is not
likely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected of it It will not perform
miracles. It will not cure consumption
in its advanced stages. No medicine will.
It-ivill euro the affections that lead up to
consumption , if taken in time.
Canadian
Over 200.CCO American farmers who have settled
in Canada during the past few years testify to the
fact that Canada is , beyond question , the greatest
farming Jand in the world.
Over Ninety Million Bushels
of wheat from the harvest of 1906 , means good
money to the farmers of Western Canada when
the world has to be fed. Cattle raising. Dairying ,
Mixed harming arc also probable callings. Coal ,
wood , water in abundance ; churches and schools
convenient ; markets easy of access. Taxes low.

/ "Origin" of
The origin of the use of mahogany
Is said to have been as follows : A
West Indian trader brought home sev
eral logs of mahogany as ballast for his
ship. The trader's brother , a London
physician , happened to be building a
'house , and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal , the doctor gave
orders to his workmen accordingly , but
their tools were not able to make an Im
pression on the hard wood. The doctor
ordered fresh tools to be made , and at
length succeeded In finding implements
which would cut the timber. Delighted
"with his discovery he ordered a bureau
to be made , and so beautiful was It
that It attracted general attention ,

MILLIONS FOR RACING.
Over $3OOOOOOO Spent In a FCTT
SFonthH Around New Yorlc.
The metropolitan racing ; season , which
recently closed in New York , was the
most remarkable in history in m'any re
spects. Attendance figures have beaten
sill records. No officia. figures have been
announced , but a caln estimate is that
4,000,000 attended the meets of the vari
ous associations that make up the metro
politan circuit. Most of these paid ad
missions to the grandstand were at $3 a
head. This would foe up $10,000,000 for
tlic race tracks. Figuring a racegoer's
expenses at $ o a day , aside from losing
wafers , $20,000,000 more was thus con
tributed , most of it toward the coffers
of the jockey flub.
There is small chance of figuring the
losses' and winnings in the hotting ring
Only ustiinate-j can be given and these
cannot be relied on. It is known that
five of the big bookmakers are about
$100,000 winner on the season , which
would mean that at least $500,000 of
the public's money has been lost to them
alone. All tokl. the only sure winners
have been the racing associations. Tliej
have rweived 11101103- from various sources ,
not to mention , $480,000 or more con
tributed by the average number of 200
bookmakers for the privilege of doing
business in the ring.
The attendances constitute a feature
of the season. It was by far the greatest
year in the history of eastern racing from
the gate money point of view.

An official of the American Federation
at Chicago anounces that the policemen j
of that city are to be formed into a union ,
the union taking the place of the benevo

affiliated with the Federation.
Recent official returns to the American
Federation of Labor from 577 unions ,
with an aggregate membership of 69,177 ,
showed but .8 of 1 per cent out of employ

That women are taking a more promi
nent part in trade union affairs than for
merly is shown by the election of Miss
Rose Pfanstill a few days ago on the
executive board of Cigarmakers' Union
No. 14 , the largest local in Chicago. Miss
Pfanstill has been a member of the union
for five years and she is the first woman
to be elected to a responsible position in
the organization. She is credited with
being one of the fastest cigarmakers in
the 'city and is an enthusiastic union
worker. For eight hours each day she
makes cigars in the factory of Peter
O'Brien , at Lincoln and Fulton streets ,
and attends meetings in connection with
the union almost every night. She is

Fall is as good a time as spring to set
out fruit trees. Get good trees and
plan to give them good care in the
future. This is the only way to have

to get your reward.
To those who are familial- with trans
planting operations , the best time to
transplant rose bushes is In the spring.
Autumn planting may sometimes be
done to advantage by those who live
in a mild climate and are familiar with
such work , but beginners had better do
such work in the spring.
Nut trees , as a rule , have long tap
roots , and it has been handed down i'or
years that to cut thin tap roots when
transplanting them meant death to the
tree , but experience shows differently.
If the long tap root is cut many lat

Strong root system is established , which
will make a good tree.
Relative to the time of harvesting
apples , the author of a bulletin , issued
by the Idaho station , calls special at
tention to the necessity of harvesting
Jonathan apples when the seeds have
turned a light brown. If the fruit is
not picked until well colored and the
seeds are dark around the edges , it Is
likely to rot at the core while still
sound on the outside.
One of the most Important factors In
Increasing the wheat yield is early
plowing. If you don't believe it , plow
a portion of. the field early in August
and the balance at the end of Septem
ber , and in the part plowed first , you
may have an increase of ten bushels an
acre over the other. Early plowing is
especially necessary In clay lands. Gen
erally speaking , the field should lie
rolled as soon as it is plowed.
The dewberry. Is propagated by tips ,
the same as blackcap raspberry ; and ,
with the creeping propensities of its
canes , the grower will have no difficulty
in increasing his stock of plants very
rapidly. If the natural rate of increase ,
however , is not sufficiently rapid , the
method of propagation fi-oin cuttings
of the canes when in a proper state of
ripeness-will satisfy the most exacting
propagator. It is said that some vari
eties may be propagated very readily
from root cuttings.
Excellent Fattening ? Ration.
Alfalfa hay and corn and cob meal
form a most excellent ration for fat
tening , and unless future experiments
change these results we shall have to
admit that this combination gives bet
ter results than the use of a greater-
variety of roughage. This is the ver
dict to which a steer feeding experi
ment leads Professor Erf and others at
the Kansas experiment station.
Six-Year Crop Rotation.
A six-year rotation of grain crops
only , and of grain crops with clover
In the rotation , is reported by the In-1
dlana Experiment Station. With con
tinuous grain cropping the average
yield of wheat for six years was 20.0'
bushels per acre. With clover in the
rotation the average yield of wheat
was 26.6 bushels. The plots used in
this experiment were unfertilized with
reything but the clover.
What Testing : Crenin 31 can.t.
Our grandmothers never had to cou-
ilder the question of thickness of
cream. To them it was all one
whether the cream was thick or thin.
Since the test has been brought into
use , it is discovered that a cream that
contains about 35 per cent of pure but
ter fat is best for buttermaking. The
cream that is only about 25 per cent
pure butter fat often develops too much
acidand makes poor butter.
Tne Farmer's Day.
The statistics up to this year show
that since 1900 farm real estate val
ues have increased 33 1-3 per cent.
Fewer men are going in the business.
All the good land is in hand. The
growing population demands more of
the products of the soil and with the
constant desire of Immigrants to re
main in cities or in small manufactur
ing centers , the farmer finds a sale for
all he can produce. This Is the day
when the tiller of the soil can buy
automobiles for his family.
-Xe\v Yorlc Lends In Dairy Products.
. According to figures compiled up to
the 1st of July by the dairy division of
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington , there are 207 cows to every
thousand of population in the State of
New York , and the annual output of
milk reaches 772,799,000 gallons , which
is greater than that of any other State
in the Union. Wisconsin has 483 cows
to every thousand inhabitants , yet its
production of milk reaches only 472-
275,000 gallons. In the District ef Co
lumbia the production of milk is SuO-
000 gallons yearly , and the District has
but four cows to each thousand of
population.
A Creamery Fakir.
An agent of a creamery company ,
who has been operating in a sensa
tional manner in central Indiana , Is
reported making such claims as man
ufacture of butter that would keep for
twelve months , and then sell at top
market price , or could stand out in
the hot sun all day without melting.
The buttermilk was to be used for
feeding chickens , and live-pound chick
ens would be made to weigh ten
pounds in ten days' feeding , the im
proved quality of meat selling at six
teen cents a pound. Evidently this
agent thinks the farmers of the Cent
ral West are easy marks. American
Cultivator.
SprayingTor Potato Bliglit.
After briefly describing the cause of
potato blight , C. A. McCue , of the Mich
igan experiment station , gives the re
sults of experiments inwhich potatoes
were sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
and comparisons made with similar
plants receiving a spraying of lime wa
ter. Where the potatoes were given
fourteen sprayings of Bordeaux mix
ture at intervals of four days a net
gain of $11.90 per acre is reported.
Where they were sprayed at intervals
of ten days , six applications being giv
en , a net gain of $15.44 per acre is giv
en. On plats sprayed every fifteen days
a net gain of $13.38 per acre Is report
ed , and where four sprayings at inter
vals of twenty days $11.03 per acre net
gain is reported. For the plat which
received fourteen sprayings of fime
water at intervals of four days a loss
.of $1.70 Is reported. The cost of spray
ing Is said to have been 72 cents per
acre for each application. This amount ,
the author believes , could be reduced
to not more than 55 cents per acre.
The author gives compiled informa
tion relative to spraying by individual
farmers , the results obtained at other
stations , etc. , and notes that the sta
tion expects to carry on experiments
for the prevention of late blight for at
least five years.
Alternating Crops.
In connection with rotation of crops
the laud should be improved every
year. There is a point beyond which
soils can not be permanently enriched
without an improvement of their con
stitutional organization , which , however -
over , may be done by supplying artifi
cially those ingredients of a good soil
of which they are deficient , such as
lime , and even sand or clay , if possi
ble , for without ; clumgqs in the consti
tutional organization of the soil we can
not hope to carry its fertility perma
nently beyond what it has acquired In
a state of nature. Soils which have
been reduced merely by cultivation ,
where they have not been injured by
washing rains , may be easily reno
vated , and this must be done by again
supplying them with those ingredients
of which they have been deprived by
bud husbandry. This may be done in
part by the application of manures ,
whence we are to draw much of the
necessary supply of vegetable food , and
to this end farmers should freely culti
vate those crops which derive most of
their food from it. In soils adapted
for its cultivation , red clover is most
.suitable for this purpose ; it Is by far
the most convenient and the cheapest
mode of renovating exhausted soils ,
not only supplying much vegetable
matter to soils that have been much
reduced , but it is admirably calculated
to pulverize and reduce Its component
parts to a finely divided state , thus
producing a condition favorable to a
combination with those elementary
substances which are furnished by the
Jitniosphere , thereby greatly increasing
its capacity for absorbing moisture.
Even weeds , previous to the time of
L-ipeuing their seeds , derive much of
their nutriment from the atmosphere ,
and by destroying thorn before they
produce seed their product in vegeta
ble matter goes to renovate that soil
upcu which they have been grown.
KCTT Bill * Kurd to Count.
"Do you mind taking new bills ? " In
quired the paying teller.
"Do I mind new 'bills ? Certainly
not In fact , I prefer them. "
"Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks , " said the 'bank cashier.
Then he added : "It is a common idea
that bank tellers do not care to give
crisp paper money. As a matter of
fact nine cashiers out of every ten
try to get rid of new money as quick
ly as possible after receiving it. There
Is grave danger to thb average paying
teller In handling unusued money.
"New bank notes stick together.
Frequently the ink is not thoroughly
dry. During our rush period we han
dle a great deal of money. It is the
easiest thing in the world to nuikf
mistakes with new bills when In a
hurry to relieve a long Ijne of wait
ing patrons. When possible we give
out the new bills during hours when
there is no rush. I'd rather pay out
1,000,000 old bills than 100 new ones. "
"These bills are new enough , that's

"That's just it , " laughed the cash

Excluding American Students.
The authorities of the University of
Berlin say that statements published
abroad to the effect that the stringent
regulations concerning the admission
of students are designed to exclude
many Americans altogether are untrue.
Any graduate of an American college
who presents a passport and the diplo
ma of bachelor of arts or any other
equivalent degree will be admitted
without any questions. It is true that
the diplomats of some of the smallest
institutions bearing the name of col
leges are omitted from the list of those
recognized. The new regulations are
directed against Russians not having
sufficient means of support or who are
academically unqualified.
