DO&TOJRS MIST&K&S lAro said often to bo buried six feet under ground. But many times women call on their family physicians , suffering , as they imagine , one from dyspepsia , another from 'heart ' disease , another from liver or kld- iney disease , another from nervous pros- rtration , another with pain here and there , and in this way they present alike to 'themselves ' and their easy-going or over- 'busy doctor , separate diseases , for which ! he , assuming them to be such , prescribes his pills and potions. In reality , they are all only symptoms caused by some uterine fr ' disease.

Year by year the agricultural returns have increased in volume and in value , and still the Canadian Government offers 160 acres free to every bona fide settler. Some of the Advantages The phenomenal incrcasgin railway mileage main , lines and branches has put almost every portion of the dountryvlthin easy reach of churches , schools , markets , cheap fuel and every modern convenience.

A fanner needs a nice house that will keep out the cold and he needs an ice house that will keep out the heat. Next to a shredder an old thrashing machine will put fodder in a go.od con dition to feed. In fact some farmers claim that it is even better. Au agricultural axiom was written as early as the year 1758 , as follows : "The liner the earth is made by tillage , the more it is enriched by rain , dew and air. " The man who "had better stock and farm products at home , ' ' than those exhibited at the fair was there. He usually shows up , but he seldom ex hibits any of the results of his labor. It pays to fertilize crops. If twenty loads of manure on an acre only in creases the crop five bushels of corn , there is a gain by It , for that fertility will be evident on that acre for many years. A dark soil absorbs the rays of the sun faster than the light soil aud thus makes it warmer. This difference in temperature affects the germination and growth of plants. In the spring when the corn is coining up the rows are usually seen first in the dark soil. While it may be desirable for the poultry keeper to know the points in the standard for pure-bred fo.wls , and to be able to detect a bad feather or a fault at a glance , for practical purposes he had better know the symptoms of disease and be able to detect a sick bird when he visits the yards. Carrots , parsnips aud salsify will keep safely in the ground where grown unless the winter be very severe. It is always well , however , to pull and store some of these roots in sand in the cellar so that they may be available for the table should the ground become too hard frozen to permit of digging or pulling them. The advantage of moderately low- headed , open-center trees are best ap preciated when one is engaged in spraying , thinning and picking the fruit. This is a problem and good or- chardists are studying a deal to-day , and it is very generally admitted that it requires the greatest good judgment to prune just enough to produce the de sired effect. A barbed-wire fence was heard to make the remark : "I've been in the cattle and horse business for many years , and I have observed that I al ways got more horses and cattle when I was down and out of repair. I may have to retire , however , as my neigh bor , the woven wire , is expanding his domain. " It is getting to be a question whether a farmer who raises good horses can afford to have a barbed- wire fenije. Profesyor W. .T. Green says : "Apples will thrive on a great variety of soils , will color better on high land , but will hang to the trees better and ripen later on lowground , but there Is more In the uanagement than in the soil. With staying and cultivation they can be successfully grown where they formerly would not succeed. Thor ough drainage is important , tiling pre ferred. Mulching has produced good results , but when commenced must be continued. It may be employed where cultivation is not practicable. " Did you ever try to drive a ninety- pfouiid shoat thro.ugh a sixteen-foot gate ? Of course you have , and you have had him stop before reaching the gate , turn about , meditate , hesitate , cogitate and finally the combined efforts of hired man and a dog can't put him through that gate. Then you have had the same pig approach the same gate when lie was not wanted and you have slipped up along the fence in an at tempt to. head him off and and well , of course he got through first It is presumed that the average hog is pos sessed of the spirit of divination. Fie can foretell what is going to happen a good deal better than his owner. Ensle. t Wny to Start Celery. One of the most difficult things to raise in the garden is celery , because of its being hard to start the plants. A very successful way , however , is to prepare the ground where you want the plants , sow good fresh seed quite thick in the row , but don't cover with dirt. Next cover with burlap , laying something on the edges , to prevent tne wind from blowing it away , and sprin kle with water every day on top of the burlap. In from one to two weeks the seed will sprout and as it begins to grow raise the burlap gradually and finally remove. Plants grown in this way will be very hardy and may be thinned out and transplanted , leav ing the plauts about five inches apart in the row. The bleaching may be done as one chooseswith dirt or straw mulching or boards. To 3Iuuase : Mites and Hawk * . In a lecture before the students ot the Agricultural Department of the University of Missouri , T. E. Orr , secretary rotary of the American Poultry Asso elation , told of methods of combating mites and chicken hawks , that inigh ; easily be used by every Missouri house wife. Mites , he says , may be gottei rid of by spraying the chicken house with a mixture of one part crude car bolic acid and eight parts carbon oil This mixture he recommends in pref erence to mite exterminators , sold by traveling agents. Hawks may be kepi out of the poultry yard-by attaching bright pieces of tin , six by ten inches to the trees and poles surrounding' the quarters , by strings two feet long so that the wind will make the bright metal dance in the sunlight Choice of Orchard locations. In a bulletin on the renewal of the peach industry in Xew Jersey , a bulle tin issued by the experiment station of that State has the following to say re garding the selection of a field : It is best to choose a field at some distance from an old orchard , so as to avoid as far as possible the passage of insects and diseases. But if the c.ld orchard is not infested with yellows , root-lice or borers , a young orchard may be planted near it. So far as the scale i * con cerned , the trees must be sprayed every year ; therefore it can be controlled near an old orchard , but it is easier to manage if not near an infected one. It is , of course , to be preferred that the field chosen be one that has not grown peaches for several years. It is some times said that the soils in parts of the State will no longer grow peaches , but the soils that were once go.od peach soils are still so if they are properly treated. PurifyiiiK Filthy Milk. The'unsightly and unsanitary condi tion of many of our dairies and milk herds is a reproach to owners. In most instances the owners cannot see the dirt and filth , the bad drinking water and the smeared cows. He is too much accustomed to them. He is "letting well enough alone" at his place. Cows drinking from ponds with green scum over the surface cannot give pure milk. The cow should be clean outwardly , also , before the milker sits down to his work. Has the milker clean hands ? 'ihen he is one among ten thousand. Has he clean clothes ? Then indeed is he a rare bird among milkers of kino. Thousands of cow owners believe in the bottom of their hearts that clothing and hands cannot be kept clean for milking. These people think that milk is of necessity , in the nature of the case , -tolerably filthy article , which may be purified more or less by strain ing or possibly by the separator. How vain this hope is has been shown many times by iniscroscopic examination of milk once dirty. "Once dirty , always filthy , " is the rule for milk , as ordinar ily handled. But one is almost sure to waste time talking to people about what the microscope will reveal when they are unable to see common black dirt and worse in the bottom of every pail when it is emptied. The only safe and sanitary plan known to the dairy world Is to keep the milk pure from in side to outside , from start to finish. Farm and Ranch. Increasing EKTS Production. In these days no one can afford to keep deadheads on the farm. All farm animals must pay for their keep and make a good profit in addition. It is an astonishing fact , therefore , that only a small proportion of poultryinen. actu ally know whether a particular hen Ls laying or not Some men can judge more or less accurately by the color of the comb , by the cheery song , and other well known signs. A much more accur ate method consists In the use of trap nests by means of which each hen is marked by a ring , or otherwise , every time she lays an egg. It requires a little time and patience , of course , to operate trap nests so as to separate the layers from the non-layers , but it pays well in the end. When the test has been applied to. a flock of hens , some are found to be laying 150 to 190 eggs a year , while others of equally vigor ous appearance and happy disposition ay not an egg. But the non-layers eat. and are , therefore , expensive luxuries to keep about the farm. The chief value of aiiy reliable sys tem for picking ont the best layers is found in the fact that they may be used as breeding stock to improve the < \ug production of the whole flock to come. In a careful series of tests in Maine. Utah and elsewhere it has been defi nitely shown that the hen transmits her ayiug qualities to her. offspring. With this fact well established the po.ultry- nan should use no rooster for breeding purposes unless he comes froma 200- egg hen , and should incubate no eggs ex cept those which come from a hen with a record of 200 eggs a year. It is thus possible to build up a flock of hens each of which will lay 200 to 250 eggs a year. This is fully double the yield of the average flock. Not only may the number of eggs be increased by breed , ng , but a great uniformity in the sizo. shaoe and color of the eggs is secured.

One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever .pleasant Syrup of Figs , manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. , which represents the active principles of LJV plants , known to act most heneficially , in a pleasant syrup , in which the wholesome Californian hlue ilgs are used to con tribute their rich , yet delicate , fruity flavor.
