a Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure Of liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable
kin ngdoms have been diligently searched 10
procure the most drastic and poisonous purga-
tives, in order to produce a powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebled organ. This system of treatment is
on the same principle as that of giving q
weak and debilitated man large portions Of
brandy to enable him to do q certain amount
Of work. When the stimulant is withheld,
the organ, like the system, gradually relapses
into a more torpid or sluggish and weakened
condition than before. What then is wanted?
Medicines, that, while they cause the bile TO
flow freely from the liver, as that organ is
toned into action, will not overwork and thus
debilitate it, but will, when their use is disson
tinued, leave the liver strengthened and healthy.

Eaitor Grange Advance:
have taken considerable interest in
reading your paper lately. I like it a
great deal better than I do the Farmers
Union. I see that your column for
Young Patrons has been mostly filed
with letters from children. Now, I think
that the young folks ought to take an
interest in your paper, and write for it.
1 think we could have interesting times,
for l am sure that the young folks Of
the West have as much intellect, if they
would only cultivate it, as those Of the
East. Nov I wish that every young
reader Of The GRANGE ADVANCE, from
fourteen to twenty years Of age, would
write and get up correspondence with
each other; as you have 80 kindly Of.
fered them place in your paper. I for
one will do my share Of writing and
would like to hear from all the Young
folks around, if they will write. I will
try and write more next time.

leaves rather late, but the old saving is
"better late than never" was not in
tending to get me seeder this Spring, be-
cause money is close with ME, but seeing
new Van Brunt Seeders bought by brothers
in neighboring Grange, from the machine
agents, after all that had said and done
to have them send to our State Agent for
them, l told them they would get just as
good seeders of our State Agent and at a
much less price, and that it was every Pa
tron's duty to purchase from our State
Agent as much IS they possibly could
Their response was "they did not have the
money" and that they could not buy on
time Of the State Agent, and they had to
have seeders and had to get time.' Be-
sides they could not see the seeders that
the State Agent would send them, and they
might not like them when they came.
l have told them that our State Agent
had three, the evan Brunt," the Mime
sots," and the Workman" and they were
just the same Van Brunt and Minnesota
seeders as they saw at the machine agents,
and knew that they would do a great deal
better to send to the State Agent, and bor-
row the money and give note for the
money, instead Of giving cast iron note
for great deal more, to those "blood.
suckers" ," besides, their course would be
helping our enemy to fight US. But some
of them have bought seeders, and 1 have
been informed that two were paid for in
cash down, at good bargains, just as good
as they could get them at, from the State
Agent. but the blood-suckers told them not
to tell what they paid and 1 have found
out that they did pay cash for the Van
Brunt seeder and it was $65, and SIS freight
making $40. This set me to thinking that
I ought to send for one as l did for the
sewing machine. so could show them my
machine and give them another good scold
ing, for really feel proud over our State
Agency, and if I felt capable would writ,
to some of the leading newspapers and urge
our brothers to have more confidence il
our own agents and brothers than the,
have in those machine agents who ar,

Rhubarb.

The Germantown Telegraph has the fol-
lowing good word for rhubarb
There is large class who are fond of
this. Ii Is among the earliest green things :
and though no one classes il among the
choices of horticultural gifts, in the alb
stract, yet on account Of its early growth
it will always be esteemed.
Its carliness being one of it, valuable
points, place should be selected for il
where il will get all the advantages of
early spring suns. Some people help il by
putting barrels over the roots This keeps
out the cold and. a. the rhubarb Is stimu-
lated to grow by very little heat. the nat
ural warmth of the ground brings il mp il
the frost be- kept out. Then the barrels
help 10 branch it little. and ii is not quite

its own way. Rhubarb is poor stuff when
stringy, and il is the aim of good growers
to have il a pulpyas possible. Therefore
he Soils TO be made very rich indeed-as
good a. manure can make il. When
grown in this way. even the outside is
tender, and il may be- cut up for use with
out even peelng.as Is so often done. Some
varieties are. however. more tender than
others. There are. however. four popular
kinds which, when well grown. are all of
about equal value. These are the Victoria.
Linngus, Magnum Bonum and Prince Al
bert. The Lima us is the best known. not
because it is any better than the others
named, but simply because some men who
happened to have large stock of IL. some
years ago. hit on the brilliant idea ofpush-
ing il off as the wine plant" and thus a
demand was especially created for this one,
thereby cutting out. by this brilliant trick
of the trade, other men who had large

Pure.
Rhubarb very rapidly increased by cut

are split downward. on line with the

IAN antiquary, after a long and painful eX-
animation of old documents, has discover

Agnes" Ii is probable that no tongue

been haunted by "A dark and dismal dread
that IL would turn out that Chaucer's
mothers name was Mary Jane. IL trood-
eel over MS like nightmare il haunted

name was Mary Jane. We felt that If u
should be found that she had that name.
all the happiness would be blottcd out
from our life. existence would become
burden, humiliation would be bliss, and
groceries and marketing useless baublcs.
But her name was Agnes, and things are
serene again. That Is. they are partially
