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.

The Apple Barrel.
.
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

leaves

While vegetables are given a low
value as food for man or beast on
account of their large percentage of
water , the dry portion is highly nu
tritive. In the potato the 22 per cent

"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.

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.-

TREES IN ALL SHAPES.
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.

Is the best of all medicines for the cure of diseases ,
disorders and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is the
only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly gradu-
ated ( physician-an experienced and skilled specialist in ;
tbe diseases of women.
It is a safe medicine in any condition of the system.
THE ONE REMEDY which contains co alcohol
and no injurious habit-forming drugs and which
creates no craving for such stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY so good that its makers"r
are not afraid to print its every ingredient on .
each outside bottlo-wrapper and attest to tho
truthfulness ! : of the same under oath.
It is sold by medicine dealers everywhere , and any dealer who hasn't it can
jjet it. Don't take a substitute of unknown composition for this medicine o ?
KNOWN COMPOSITION. No counterfeit is ds good as the genuine and the druggist
who says something else is "just as good as Dr. Pierce's" is either mistaken
or is trying to deceive you for his own selfish benefit. Such a man is not to bo
trusted. He is trifling with your most priceless possession-your health
may be your life itself. See that you get what you ask for.
