In all her business life the bit ol work she is now completing has been most pleasant , says the free lance stenographer. "I have been typewriting toasts on paper napkins , " she said. "A society of club women who have planned to do a lot of outdoor entertaining this summer expect to use thousands of paper napkins , and I have had the job of typewriting a toast on each napkin. It Is a pretty idea , and I tried to meet the charming sentiment of the ladies half way by using a good non-copying ink , but in spite of that precaution I am afraid that many a guest will leave the lunch table with a purple ink smudge on her face. " Varying Prices of Lobsters. Lovers of lobster ought to get a lot of comfort out of a recent paragraph in the famous old Kennebec Journal , which says that the crustaceans are "dirt cheap. " However , the Journal adds , "they are not as low in price as in the old days , when they sold six for 25 cents , but the price has fallen to 16 cents a pound , which is decidedly different from the figures that were being quoted early in the spring. Then they were being bought alive for 50 cents a pound from the fishermen , and the price in Boston and New York soared to 80 cents a pound , and , in some cases , beyond. " Father Loses an Excuse.

Coffee can marshall a good squadron of enemies and some very hard ones to overcome. A lady in Florida writes : "I have always been very fond of good coffee , and for years drank it at least three times a day. At last , how ever , I found that it was injuring me. "I became bilious , subject to fre quent and violent headaches , and so very nervous , that I could not lift a fipoon to my mouth without spilling a part of Its contents. "My heart got 'rickety' and beat so fast and so hard that I could scarcely breathe , while my skin got thick and dingy , with yellow blotches on my face , caused by the condition of my liver and blood. "I made up my mind that all these afflictions came from the coffee , and I 'determined to experiment and see. "So I quit coffee and got a package of Postum which furnished my hot morning beverage. After a little time I was rewarded by a complete restora tion of my health In every respect "I do not suffer from biliousness any jnore , my headaches have disappeared , my nerves are as steady as could be desired , my heart beats regularly and my complexion has cleared up beauti fully the blotches have been wiped out and It is such a pleasure to be well again.

The first of June there were 456 convicts in the prison and at the close of the month the number was the same. During the month twenty prisoners were received and two were returned from asylums. Eighteen prisoners were discharged by reason of expiration of sentence , four were paroled and two escaped from the penitentiary corn field where they were working. Those paroled were Simmons of Douglas , serving four years for forgery ; Connelly of Sioux , serving eight years for man slaughter ; Buck of Douglas , serving a term for robbery , and Shirem-aa of Keith , serving three years for obtain ing money under false pretense. My ers of Lincoln , in for three years for horse stealing , and Matthews of Nem- aha , in for one year for forgery , were the prisoners who escaped from the corn field. At the first of June the warden had $208.75 in the cash fund.He paid into the state treasury $755.10 , leav ing a balance of $319.18 on hand. New Automobile Laws. Beginning Friday , the new automo bile license law in Nebraska went into effect. Heretofore each automobile owner has been expected to write to the sec retary of state , inclosing $1 , for his license , the state getting the money. But under the new law the owner must go to the county treasurer , from him secure a blank and fill it out , giv ing certain detailed information con cerning the automobile , and then must pay $2 to the treasurer. This entitles him first to a receipt and then later to the license from the secretary of state on a daily report , inclosing duplicate receipts , made to that official -by the county treasurer. All of the fees hereafter collected go to the road funds of the counties in which collected. W. D. Oldham a Candidate. W. D.

Scarcity of Water for Ditches. State Engineer Price is of the opin ion that a few irrigation ditches will have to shut down before the sum mer is over. Lack of water in a few instances will compel the shutting off of the supply of some of the later ap propriations of water from the North Platte. Most of the ditches will be supplied by storage water in the Path finder reservoir and from the natural flow of the North river. State Engineer Price has received word that the stor age water in the Pathfinder reservoir is gradually diminishing. Nebraska Rural Life Commission. The Nebraska rural life commis sion having been invited by the com mercial club of Omaha to hold a meet ing there , has designated either July 21 or 22 as the probable date. Secre tary Odell writes that from thirty to forty of the commissioners would prob ably attend the Omaha meeting. The wheat crop at the university farm has just been threshed and the average yield is a little better than fifty bushels to the acre. This brings the average yield for the jiast five years a little less than forty bushels to the acre , while the best strains of improved wheat have made an aver age of about forty-three bushels to the acre. The Nebraska supreme court has confirmed the right of W. J. Furse , appointed railroad commissioner to fill a vacancy by former Governor Shal- lenberger , to retain the office. "Fainting Bertha" Liebbecke has been officially pronounced a "nuis ance" by the board of insanity for the Nebraska state penitentiary , after a session of seven hours spent in con sidering her mental condition and gen eral characteristics. The board failed to agree on whether or not she is In ? sane. H. H. Hanks of Nebraska City , a member of the board of trustees of the school for the blind , has been reappointed - pointed by Governor Aldrich. The mailing of permits to cream samplers and testers was completed in the office of tlhe food commissioner. A.bout 3,000 such permits were sent jut , exclusive of several hundred per mits sent to ice cream manufacturers , Jealers in oleomargarine and to cream eries. The fee is $1 and the commis sioner's desk was piled high for a ivhilc with $ J. bills , checks and drafts. STOCK ON DRY FARM Milk , Eggs and Meat Contribute to Comfort of Family. Companionship of Animals Is Gre1 Factor in Developing Spirit of Country Life in Young People ple No Idle Period. ( By PROF. R. W. CLARK , Montana , IE the Dry Farming Congress Bulletin. ) Dry farming as carried on at the present time is a cold business propo sition. A visit to the average dry farm reveals a lonesome , somewhat gloomy situation ; there are many things lacking that are necessary tc make this home a desirable , pleasant place to live. The wife the mistress of the home feels this more than anyone else. If she were raised where fruits , vegetables and live stock were grown , the lack of them to her now is keenly felt. No farm can be truly a home without live stock. Milk , cream , butter , cheese , eggs and various kinds Jof meat are necessary. These con tribute to the comfort and happiness of the family. Furthermore , the companionship - panionship of animals is a great fac tor in developing the spirit of coun try life in young people. The lamb , colt , calf , pig and chick all help to make the country pleasant and at tractive. The writer's most pleasant recollection of his childhood days was the companionship of the farm ani mals. There are other reasons than the one mentioned why live stock should be kept on every dry farm. Grain is the main dry crop. The farmer's "eggs are all in one basket. " Grain is his only source of income , and if storm and insects take It , the expendi tures and efforts of the whole year are lost. With a few milch cows , there is an income all the time ; butterfat Is sold to the creamery every day , and a few calves can be vealed and disposed of to the local butcher. A few hens will pick up a great deal of waste grain that otherwise would be entirely lost , and the revenue there from is usually sufficient to provide the family with groceries. A few sheep will furnish meat for the table and cash at various times during the year , when the farmer has no wheat to sell. The same is true when there are horses , beef , cattle and hogs to sell. They provide an income when the farmer needs it , and he can pay cash and thereby secure many advantages that cannot be secured by credit. When the farmer keeps live stock , he can' give employment the whole pear , but on the grain farm there Is i long period of Idleness during the winter season. Most desirable labor : annot be secured when there Is a short period of employment , and con sequently the farmer has to put up with a low class of farm hands , which .s demoralizing to the young people of : he community. On the farm without ive stock , production ceases during : he winter season , while on the farm jontaining live stock it continues the ivhole year , and because of it the sommunity is more prosperous. The question of maintaining .the f er- llity of the soil is important. The ; ime will come , though slower than in lumid climates , when the productive : apacity of the soil will be greatly educed , unless the plant food now > eing taken out is replaced. Some irops remove a great deal from the loll. For instance , one ton of wheat emoves $1 worth of fertility. This s greatly in contrast to the amount 5Q cents' worth ) removed In a ton of mtter. In the raising of live stock , he farmer must grow leguminous ilants that add fertility to the soil , LS peas , clover and alfalfa. About 80 er cent , of the fertility constituents if crops is retained on the farm when ive stock Is fed and the manure re- urned to the soil. By growing legu- ninous plants and feeding live stock , he fertility , to a large extent , is main- ained and depleted soils are rapidly uilt up. This is Impossible without ive stock. Before going into the live stock usineas too extensively , the farmer lust learn what kind of crops can e profitably grown. This varies great- y between and within the states , lome crops that can be grown suc- essfully in Kansas and South Dakota rould probably fail in Montana , and ome that can be successfully grown a one part of the state would fall in nother. Alfalfa , where it can be rown , Is the best all around crop. t can be safely pastured by hogs and orses , and is a good feed in winter nd summer for all kinds of animals , ven the chickens. Alfalfa Indispensable. To secure the cheapest pork , the nest pork and produce hogs that will e in the best possible state of health nd vigor , alfalfa must be included In tie calculation. At the Kansas sta- ion a gain of 800 pounds of pork was lade from a ton of alfalfa hay and bout the same amount from an acre E alfalfa pasture. Pasture Better Than Grain. Pasture of any kind clover , alfal- i , or any of the grasses , affords good jed for the pigs , and it Is so much aeaper than the grain feeds that it i surprising that more farmers do ot fence In tracts and sow the land ) grazing crops for their swine. Watering Horses. Painstaking and experienced horse- ten have proven beyond a doubt that arses seem to be better nourished hen systematically watered before ieding and then two or three hours : terward. SOWING IN THE DRY AREAS Drill System of Seeding Puts Scec Down Where It Will Reach Mois ture and Germinate. Broadcasting seed may answer very well in humid areas under certain con ditions. In dry areas , however , i Efcould be avoided. Unless the seed goes down where is reaches moisture , it will not germinate. It cannot be put down to an even or uniform depth when broadcasted. The drill has the following advan tages over broadcast sowing in dry areas , says the Dakota Farmer. It puts the seed down to where it will reach moisture ; that is , when mois ture is present. It is frequently pres ent at a lower depth than would suf fice for broadcast seeding. It dis tributes the seed more uniformly than would be possible when broadcasted. It presses the earth around the seed ; that is , when press drills are used. They ought generally to be so used. It calls for less seed than broadcast sowing. The difference in favor of the former is not less than say one peck per acre. It puts the seed so far down that the harrow will not take many of the plants out if the work is carefully done. This is not true of grain that has been broadcasted. When winter grain is sown the depressions made by the drill may to some extent tend to protect plants from injury from the winds. The difference between drill sowing and broadcasting in such areas may make the difference between suc cess and failure In the crop. The depth to which grain should be planted is influenced by the kind of soil , by the condition of the soil as to tilth , and by the moisture which It contains. Planting may be deeper in sandy soil and in soil of good tilth than in heavy clays. But in any soil if the seed is to germinate promptly , it must go down to where the soil is moist. It may be necessary in some in stances to plant wheat and other grains as far down as four inches , but a less depth is better when the condi tions for growth are right. Fairly deep planting , however , should be the rule In dry areac. The plants are then more safe from the injurious influences of drouth. Sowing Brome Grass. The amount of brome grass seed to sow In this country depends upon a number of conditions. If the soil is not in a very good physical condition more seed should be used than if the soil is well prepared. However , we must not expect to secure a stand of brome grass on dry land unless we have a well prepared seed bed and at that it may take a year to germinate fully and two or three seasons to thicken up. In seasons with a great deal of moisture we should use a larger amount of seed because the ex cess of water would promote larger growth. Taking it on the whole , we should sow from eight to fourteen pounds to the acre. A depth of from one-half to one and one-half inches will not be too deep for the seed. Value of a Garden. From an economical standpoint a good garden is a good investment. Some years ago I was curious to know the costs to the mechanic with a family of five persons for the sup ply of vegetables during the summer season , and I was surprised to know the amount-was $48 , says a writer In an exchange. The head of the family was , therefore , obliged to labor for 24 days at $2 per day to pay for the vegetable bill and yet he did not con sider it was an extravagance. Rape for Pasture. Rape will produce pasture feed In from six weeks to two months from sowing for all stock that will eat it , and It Is available earlier than most green crops as feed , and it may be eaten when young without Injury. It also furnishes pasture until late in the summer if sown six to eight weeks before wanted. POULTRY NOTES. * r m H Ducks as a rule are hardy. Watch the little chicks for head [ ice. Exercise keeps the fowls in good health. Young chicks should not be allowed : o roost too early. Keep the best old hen turkeys for lext year's breeding. Nothing is more likely to cause trou- sle in mature turkeys than overfeed- ng. ng.For lice on little chicks use a drop if grease on the head and under the ring. There is no better preparation than he lime-kerosene wash for the hen- louse. Three lice can suck more vitality 'roni the little chick thaa all its food : an supply. A small crack or opening Just above he hens on the roost , which creates i draft , is the cause of many colds. Turkeys that eat with ducks and jeese and with the other fowl usually jet too much to eat and become over- at. Young turkeys should be confined n a diy , clean and safe pen until hey are past the young , danger stage , f life. Duck eg-gs are in demand by con- ectlouers , as they impart a glaze to heir icing , which cannot be had with i en eggs. The poultry raiser is now finding tut that the early hatched chicks are nore vigorous and profitable than he late hatches. The young turkeys should be urned out into the fields just as eon as the dew is off the grass and hould be allowed to remain out until .ark.

Af ter two months they were all over my body , some coming , and some going away. In about six months the boils quit , but my arms , neck and body broke out with an itching , burning rash. It would burn and itch , and come out in pimples like grains of wheat I was in a terrible condition ; I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my flesh were raw , and I could scarcely bear my clothes on. I could not He in bed In any position and rest In about a year the sores extended down to my feet. Then I suffered agony with the burning , Itching sores. I could hardly walk and for a long time I could not put on socks. "All this time I was trying every thing I could hear of , and had the skill of three doctors. They said it was eczema. I got no benefit from all this. I was nearly worn out , and had given up in despair of ever being cured when I was advised by a friend to try Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuti- cura Soap , Ointment , and Resolvent , and used exactly as directed. I used the Cuticura Remedies constantly for four months , and nothing else , and was perfectly cured.

Women's Secrets There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heart ? more women's secrets than any other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame , but the secrets of suffering , and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent , of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment of more than half-o- mil lion women , in a practice of over 40 years , it is phenomenal , and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women , as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases. Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter , absolutely without charge. All replies are mailed , sealed in perfectly plain envelopes/Trithont any printing or advertising whatever , upon them.
