THE SHORT LINE TO "THE LAND OF FULFILLMENT9 "The fruit grower must be a willing worker, and to be successful he must be a pusher and ever ready to take time by the farelook. He must in advance rather than behind with the work. The mulch for the strawberries and compost for raspberries, black berries, currants, gooseberries and Lucretia dewberries should now be read' near the garden. As soon as the ground is frozen hard enough to bear up the horses and wagon put the mulch on the strawberry bed. Do not undertake to cover deep enough to prevent freezing, for if this is done the wet snows will pack the mulch and smother the plants. Good judgment is required here. "Straw of any kind, corn stalks, with or without the blades, leaves, evergreen boughs, swamp grass or any coarse material that is free of seed will answer. This mulch should be left on the bed until all danger of freezing is over. Just before the crowns open, the mulch should be raked off the plants to the space be tween the rows. If the soil is loamy and light the mulch may be parted over the plants and left in that way to prevent the earth from being splashed upon the fruit. "For other lines of small fruit com post is preferred to strawed mulch as the latter invites mice, which will gnaw the canes and injure the plants. The compost may be scattered broad cast over the, entire surface as the condition of the ground demand, or be placed around the hills. In either case the compost should be worked into the soil by means of a shallow cultivator as early as the ground is ir. condition for work. To do a perfect job the surface should be worked until thoroughly fined. Working should be repeated at intervals of six and eight days until raspberries and blackber ries are turning red. Small fruits cannot be successful!- grown without thorough cultivation and pruning sea son after season. When the grower becomes experienced the work in the small garden will be considered more of a pleasure than a task." PUMPKIN PIES IN WINTER. "How dear to our hearts is the old yellow pumpkin. When orchards are barren of stuffing for pies; "When peaches and apples have proven a failure. And berries of no kind have greeted our eves. How fondly we turn to the rugged old cornrield And pather the fruit we can never de spise The bright golden pumpkin, the savory pumpkin. The swtet. mellow pumpkin we make into pies." fbe Only Double Track Railway be tween the Missouri River and Chicago Fast daily train service via the Chicago, Union Pacific & North -Western Line from points in One would think farming had made no progress in the last fifty years to look at what the "authorities' undertake to teach in the country schools. The farmer is to spend his life close to nature. Why, then, should he not study nature and natural law? LATE PLOWING IN ORCHARDS. .aaaUiaBaSaSaaaaSasK Professor King is authority for the statement that late fall plowing and deep cultivation in orchards of fruit trees and in vineyards of small fruits, after the wood is fully matured and growth arrested by the cold weather, will do much toward giving the soil better moisture relations the next spring. In cases where injury from deep freezing is liable to occur, the iate plowing will lesson this danger because the loose soil blanket will help to retain the heat in the ground as well as the soil moisture. In the. late plowing and deep tillage there is little danger of increasing the loss of plant food by leaching, be cause the season is too late and the temperature of the soil too low to stimulate the formation of nitrates. When ground is plowed late in the fall, just before freezing, it then acts during the winter and early spring as a mulch, diminishing the loss of water by surface evaporation, and at the same time the roughened surface tends to hold the snows and to per mit winter and early spring rains to penetrate more deeply into the soil leaving the ground more moist at seeding time than would be the case if it were left unplowed. Dead blackberry canes, if not yet removed, should be removed without further delay. They should also be burned, as there may be among them spores of some fungus disease. LOOK AFTER FARM MACHINERY. As we traveled through the coun try about a week ago we still found many, many binders, mowers and va rious other machines standing in the ard with nothing but a barb wire fence to shelter them from sun and rain. In fact, quite a number did not even enjoy the distinction of being cared for to the extent of standing in a row of fence, but were scattered all over the yard, where apparently it had been convenient to leave them when the busy farmer unhitched late in the evening. There is perhaps no business where system is so hopelessly lacking as on the farm. A man on a 160 acre farm has perhaps a grain binder worth $l25, a mower worth $50, a couple of plows worth $50, harrows worth $50, ond perhaps wagons worth $100 or $150. Here we have an investment of $500 or more, the interest on which is $30 per year. Will it not pay to take better care of this property? An air tight building is not necessary for the protection of the machinery. Con struct a lean-to on the side of the barn, if you can do no better, and board up sufficiently to keep out sun and rain, and you have a place to keep things. Never put any machinery away that has bright surfaces without a coat of oil. Dry the bright surfaces and coat heavily with oil. Beef suet also makes an excellent material for that pur pose. Next spring, or at any other time, when you may need your plow, it will be ready. It will scour as soon as you put it into the ground. That fact in itself may be worth several dollars to you. The harness needs to be oiled fre quently enough to keep the leather soft and pliable. It will last nearly twice as long if well taken care of. The work can be done on rainy days. In many important European mark ets receipts of American apples have practically doubled every year for the past years. In 1901 there were exported from this counrty 1,600,000 barrels of apples. In 1902, 2,200,000 were shipped out. Cold storage and rapid transit have brought the whole world in touch with the Ozark apple grower. Apples have been sold in Hamburg and Liverpool within IS days from the time they hung on the trees in our Ozark orchards. THE WINTER DAIRY. Every farmer in America knows t a dead certainty that to produce win ter milk with profit or comfort, he must have two things in abundance, says a correspondent. First, a warm barn or stable for his cows whera manure will never freeze or accumu late in unsightly piles. G at once to work, and bank up your old high- floor stables so the cold winter winds can not whistle under the barn, nor rise up through the cracks of the floor to make balloons of the milk maids when they come to milk the cows. Put up inside double ceiling to the btables; fill well with straw, shav ings or chaff between cold as much as possible, and there by save feed and money both. Re member always, feed is the fire that cattle use to keep warm with, and they are bound to keep warm and comfort able first before they care a snap about your calculations of whether they furnish you a drop of milk or not. Don't toughen your cattle any more by compelling them to eat corn stalks cut on a windy hill or some old mea dow you want to revive. We may live without poetrv, music and art: We may live without conscience, and live without heart: We may Hv without friends, we mav live without books. But civi ized man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books what la knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love what is pas sion but pining? But where is the man that can live with out dining? Owen Meredith. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles tvere to be traced to the kid neys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning1 in the disorder of these most important organs. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or "feel badly" begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmers Swamp Hoot, because as soon as your kidneys begin to get better they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. I was out of health and run down generally; had no appetite, was dizzy and suffered with headache most of the time. I did not know that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble, but somehow felt that they miirht be, and I began taking Swamp-Root. There issuch a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it goes right to the spot and drives disease out of the system. It has cunnl me. making me stronger and better in every way, and I cheerfully recom mend it to all sufferers. Gratefully yours. Mas. A. L. Walkeb. 331 East Linden St., Atlanta. Ga.

The season is again at hand when opportunities to give orders for nur sery stock to strangers will be numer ous, and when new and wonderful sorts to buy will be abundant. Now, rot all stranger tree peddlers are dis honest, nor are all new and wonder ful sorts of fruits without merit; but the percentage of dishonesty and want of merit is so large that caution should be observed in patronizing the one or buying the other. The agent who approaches you may be a strang er, but if he represents a well and favorably known nursery he is not likely to deceive you. and if he does you will be protected by his principal. But if the agent and the nursery he represents are both strangers, the safest way is to pass up both. Where the agent, his nursery and the things he offers you are strangers it is best to give the first his dinner, your bless ings and nothing more. As for sorts tc buy. the judgement of the bet fruit growers in the state, usually repre sented by the State Horticultural so ciety, is the safest guide. All such societies recommend the best tried sorts for their respective regions, and as a rule that recommendation should be respected. If. however, one can not resist the temptation to buy new things let the purchase be small, so that no serious loss will be sustained if they prove worthless. In Great Britain and also in Cana da carrots are much used as a food lor horses. Long experience has taught the farmers in those countries that carrots tend to keep in tone the di gestion of the horses and colts to which they are fed. They influence the digestion of horses much the same as turnips and mangles do the di gestion of sheep and cattle. The reas on why they are preferred to horses over these is that horses are more fond of them than of the other variet ies of roots. This at least is one reason why they are preferred. Suppose grain and roughage are fed tc horses in one instance without carrots and carrots and roughage are ted in another instance without grain; m the instance last named the horses will do as well as in that first named, when not at work. If carrots could be fed to horses in this Western coun try in moderate quantities in the win ter season, they would keep in better tone than many of them do. There ' are no sound reasons why they should rot be had, since they will grow in any part of this Northwest. There is considerable labor in handling them, and that perhaps is the principal reas- on why they are not grown more. Hov to Find Out If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust set tling, or if small particles float around in it, your kidneys are in need of immediate attention. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading hospitals, recommended by phy sicians in their private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves who have kidney ailments, because they recognize in it the greatest and most successful remedy for kidney, liver and bladder troubles.

D. Carlisle of Chicago, a horticulturist of national fame, who en a recent visit to the great Frisco Orchard Co's site near Lebanon, in Laclede county, secured some of the red soil chemical analysis. He found the red clay soil, so valuable to the apple grower, to have been produced by the decomposition of rock by the large amount of pyrites of iron which It contains. He also found large pro portions of lime, soda and potash, all of which, with iron orp make desir able chemical elements for the growth of perfect, finely flavored fruit. He pronounces the soil the best adapted tc apple and peach culture of any he ever examined. HOW TO STORE HONEY? Every day is bargain day in the Wave Circle. Come in and get ac quainted.

A DISCREET SUGGESTION. ; While the unloaded pistol goes on slaying its thousands and the ever loaded oil can its tens of thousands there is something else that appears j equally as innocent and unassuming i that claims victims every year and ' causes much financial loss and ex quisite suffering among men and ani mals. The instrument of death and suffering referred to is the upturned rusty nail so common around the . average farm and in the backyards 01 coumx siores. it ma seem a very small and simple act to stop and break off or turn down a nail, but the small and simple service may be the means of saving a life or of preventing the most acute suffering the human body can endure. Don't forget that a cream separator is a labor-saving implement in the same degree as a mower, and a man with a taste in decoration does not buy a mower for a parlor ornament.

It may not spoil it to I treeze if the air surrounding is per-1 fectly dry, but damp cold is injurious.

There was less fodder wasted by feeding it as a "mixed feed" than by feeding fodder and grain separate ly and dry. 4.
