" ' r -Tr For. r /r Lame Back , An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of ' Sloan's Liniment. This liniment takes the place . of massage and is i better than sticky plasters. It penetrates -without rubbing - through the skin and muscular tissue _ right to the bone , quickens the blood , relieves congestion , and gives permanent as well as temporary relief. Here's' the Proof. Mr. JAMES C. LEE , of 1100 9th St. , S.E.VRTashlngtonD.C."writes " "Thirty years ago I fell from a scaffold ami ser - ouslyinjurertiny back.

It stood In the cellar low and dim , Where the cobwebs swept and sway- ed , Holding the store from bough and limb At the feet of autumn laid. And oft , when the days were short I and drear And the north wind shrieked and roared . We children sought In the corner here , And drew on the toothsome hoard. t . \ For thus through the long long win- ter-time It answered our every call With wine of the summer's golden prime Sealed by the hand of fall. The best there was of the earth and air , Of rain and sun and breeze , Changed to a pippin sweet and rare By the art of the faithful trees. v A wonderful barrel was this , had we Its message but rightly heard , Filled with the tales of wind and bee Of cricket and moth and bird ; Rite.vith the bliss of the fragrant June When skies were soft and blue ; Thronged , with the dreams of a har- vest moon O'er fields drenched deep with dew. V Oh homely barrel , I'd fain essay Your marvelous skill again ; Take mo back to the past , I pray , As willingly now as then- , Back to the tender morns and eves , The noontides warm and still The fleecy clouds and the spangled leaves Of the orchard over the hllL -Edwin L.

In the potato the 22 per cent of solid matter is nearly all available ' for food. The protelds as flesh form- ers and the carbohydrates as fat pro- ducers are essential parts of food. "First" Mortgages. By reason of the insistence of many [ Investors that their bonds be of "first" mortgage , it may be said -that the Im- portance of the word "first" Is depend- ent upon the circumstances , saysI I Moody's ; Magazine. A bond may be first in fact ; it may be so only in a relative sense in that it indicates the order in which the bond was put out by the Issuing company ; or the use of the term "first" in the name of the bond , undesirable and loose though It be In such Instances , may be upon the slight ground that the mortgage Is in. I deed first on some part of the property , while on other parts it may have but a third or fourth claim. It is there ! fore obvious that the mere presence of this term in a title does not neces- sarily make the bond an absolutely prior lien. It has been estimated that 95 per cent in number and On ! per cent . . in value of steam railroad "firsts" ! are first Hens In name only. - - - Fowl and Egg : ; . Farmers' Bulletin No. J28 , United States Department of Agriculture , says : "The eggs of different kinds oi | domestic poultry vary in size as well as appearance , and there is also a con- siderable range in the size of eggs of different breeds. Thus , hens' eggs range from the small ones laid b . . y ban- tams to the large ones laid by' such breeds as light Brahmas. On an av erage a hen's egg is 2.27 inches in length , and 1.72 inches in diameter or width at the broadest point , and weighs about 2 ounces , or eight eggs to the pound (1 ( % pounds per dozen ) . Generally speaking , the eggs of pullets . . are smaller than those of old hens ; those of ducks somewhat ilarger than hens' eggs , while those of turkeys and geese are considerably larger. Guinea I i , . . eggs , on an average , measure 13 Xllh inches , are rather pointed at one end , and weigh about : 1.4 ounces each , or 17 ounces to the dozen. Goose eggs weigh about 5.5 to 6.7 ounces each , or about 5 pounds to the dozen-that is , more than three times as much as hens' eggs. The eggs of wild birds are said to be smaller than those of the same species when domesticaeed. Wild ducks' eggs are said to be , on an av erage , 1.97 to 2.17 _ inches In diameter ; domestic ducks' "eggs , 2.36 to 2.56 inches. A Troublesome Weed. r J . s/ J. . . . ' 1 ; , ii \ " I Reports come from Ontario that the perennial sow thistle has gained a firm foothold , making It the greatest weed enemy with which the farmer has to contend. It has been spread from one farm to another by the threshing machines , the numerous seeds being easily carried. One meth- od being advocated for its eradication I Is to sow winter rye In September and pasture it the folowlng spring. This can be followed In June by rye , tur- . nips or buckwheat. In this way crops are secured and the sow thistle fought at the same time. Hints on Has Raisins. The white breed of hogs is gradual ly disappearing. Salt buried a few inches In the ground in certain spots will attract the hogs and confine them pretty close ly to such , places. It is natural for a hog to root , but if you : want to prevent him from do- Ing so a simple ring In the snout will answer the purpose. It Is a great mistake to mark a hog by mutilating his ears. Better use a metal tag. Successful hog raisers will always have clover or alfalfa pastures for their animals. Every hog pasture ought to have an open shed on a high point of ground for shelter from the hot sun. Leave all sides open so the air can pass . over them. Keep the pigs growing from the-day they are born until they go to the slaughtering pen. The man who imagines that he can produce fat and lean bacon in streaks by feeding one week and starving the next will be disappointed. Keep the Road Drag Coins Bad roads are an extravagance tha\ . no farming community can afford. Just what they cost in unnecessary expenses . it takes but a moment to de termine. A team and driver are reasonably worth $3 a day , and by the use of these it is possible to deliver to mar- ket from your home 100 bushels of corn. Hauling over good roads , the cost of delivery is 3 cents per bushel. But if , in consequence of bad roads , but fifty bushels can be delivered , the cost Is doubled and the difference is what the impassible roads cost you. Continue this calculation , applying it to the hauling of all your crops , and it quickly becomes apparent that It amounts to a very burdensome tax. Good roads help In every way ; they promote sociability by making friends and relatives accessible , and by means of them it Is easier to reach the schools and churches and to generally do and enjoy the things which make . life really worth living. + Sunflowers for Poultry. Sunflowers are grown by many poultrymen and farmers. The seed make an excellent feed for poultry and can be easily and profitably pro duced. The seeds can be sown in rows and the crop cultivated the same as corn. When ripe the seed is thrasb- ed out and fed to the poultry either whole or ground. If the sunflower heads are thrown into the chicken yard , , the birds will thresh the seeds out themselves with no expense to the grower. It Is an excellent fattening food , and when fed with cracked corn gives good results. It is too late this season to sow the sunflower seeds , but it is a good thing . to keep hi mind for another year.- . Farmers' Guide. Look out for the head lice upon I the chicks. They will soon suck their lives away if not gotten rid of by rubbing a little coal oil 'ltPon the feathers.

They 3Iny Be Made to Fit Any Space or to Take Any Form. An expert can make a vine of an apple or a pear tree a tree of goose- berry or currant bush , or a snake of either , says Country Life In America. He will twist , pinch and fondle the de . scendant of some mighty apple tree , with its gnarled branches and its for- I ty-foot spread , measuring planning and nursing until , instead of assuming the shape of Its parent it will grow to fit some space on the side of his house , hugging the wall like a vine or possibly will form a screen to hide his kitchen porch. In the rich man's garden abroad we see all sorts of curious forms to which fruit trees have been trained. Some are beautiful some are freakish but all are wonderful. In vases lyres shields , crests , monograms soldiers , beautiful maidens the apple or pear tree and the currant bush lose their identity. Those that are trained like vines certainly possess a distinctive decora tive value. In the old days every es tate in England worth while had a specimen , box tree-a superior example of topiary work-which was pruned to resemble Queen Elizabeth. In the poor man's garden abroad a trained fruit tree finds its greatest usefulness. No garden is too small for a few trees. The peasant , with a scant six inches or a foot between his walk and his neighbor's fence , still has room to plant a tree and train it against a lattice. While the necessity for maximum returns from minimum acres is not a part of our national point of view , the possibility of the training of trees as a hobby has been very much overlooked. In Germany you can buy a tree to measure to fill in any space on your garden wall or house just as we buy a ready-made suit of clothes. While the trining of fruit trees has become popular only within ten years , the Formobstbaumschulen , or schools where trees are trained , are now to be found everywhere in Germany. There I are commercial nurseries where ex- perts in espalier work are constantly making new forms and creating new marvels. Certain shapes have become standard , such as pyramids , cordons , palmettos and so on. There are practically no nurseries in America that have taken up the propa- gation and sale of trained fruit trees in a serious way , and there is almost no American literature on the subject ; consequently one who wishes to take this work as a hobby will be forced to Germany , France or England for his inspiration and for 'his stock. Not on Democratic Principle Perhaps it .may : be laid down as a general rule that a legislative assem- bly : , not constituted on democratic principles , cannot be popular long aft- er it ceases to be weak.-Macaulay.
