A bountifuI harvest to the farmer means
more comforts for his family, more trade
to the store keeper, more work for the car
penter, more to the coachmaker, more to
the laborer, and more to the railroad and
more to every other business, unless it be
the doctor and lawyer, and we are not sure
but they receive a share of the spois; but
if the rule of the Patrons is observed, the
lawyers will find less of certain business to
do and can turn their talent to more pro-
ductire occupation.
With these observations let us turn to
our special locality and survey our sur
roundings, and let it be our aim to elevate
our calling and improve our talents while
adding to our pecuniary resources. While
money is no doubt good servant, it is a
bad master, and the persons who devote
their whole lives to the accumulation of it
without the faculty of employing it for
| their own pleasure or the benefit of the
rest of mankind, are the worst of slaves
There is no occupation that brings man
so in contact with the works of the Crea-
tor and that furnishes wider field for
study, than the tiller of the soil. His

Echenek's Sea Weed Tonic.

In the atmosphere experienced here
during the summer months, the leth-
argy produced by the heat takes away
the desire for wholesome food, and fire.
quent perspirations reduce bodily en-
ergy, particularly those suffering from
the effects of debilitating diseases. In
order to keep up natural healthful ac-
tivity of the system, We must resort to
artificial means. For this purpose
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very ef-
fectual. A few doses will create an ap-
petite and give fresh vigOr to the ener-
waited body. For dyspepsia, it Is inval-
liable. Many eminept physicians have
doubted whether dyspepsia can be per-
manently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose.
The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is to-
tally different from such drugs. 1t con-
tains no corrosive minerals or acids; in
fact it assists the regular operations of
nature, and supplies her deficiencies.
The tonic in its nature so much resem-
bles the gastric juice that it is almost
identical with that fluid. The gastric
juice is the natural solvent which, in a
healthy condition Of the body, causes
the food to be digested; and when this
juice is not excreted in sufficient guam
titles, indigestion, with all its distress
ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty Of the gastric
juice when the latter is deficient.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all
Druggists.

Little Children.

People who habitually put children
out of their hearts, and close their doors
upon them, have no idea how much
comfort they set sside-what pleasure,
what amusement. OF course the little
creatures neddle with things, and leave
the traces Of their fingers on the wall,
and cry, and "bother" a little; but,
when one gets into the way of it, as
mothers and other loving relatives do,
those things become of minor impor-
lance. Children say such pretty things,
and do such funny things. the touch Of
their little hands is SO soft, the sound Of
their little voices so sweet, their faces
are so pretty, their movements so
graceful and so comical, the whole
family 90 baby-mad-and no wonder. No
book was ever written that was half go
interesting as little child that is learn
ing to talk and to think, that is develop
ing from q tiny animal to being with
conscience and heart.

Thomas Chatterton, who, In one
sense, lived long life before ne was
eighteen years old, was one Of the most
extraordinary literary deceivers on re-
cord. Born at Bristol, in 1852, he was
taught small routine knowledge at q
parish school, and then belonged to the
Colston School from his eighth to his
fifteenth year; afterwards he led the
life Of drudge in an attorneys offce.
Antiquities, especially of an artistic or
poetical kind, were special objets of his
liking; and in this direction he mani
Tested at once his genius and his fraud.
In 176s new bridge was opened at
Bristol; and there appeared in Felix
Fdrley's Journal, translation of an an
cient manuscript under the title "a
Description of the Fryars passing over
the Old Bridge" The antique phrase
ology and the vividness of the descrip-
tion, attracted general attention; but
the whole affair was the product of
ChattertOn's own brain, although he in
dulged in plentiful lying when pressed
for an explanation. This first decep-
tion marked his sixteenth year; and the
remaining two years of his brief career
may be characterized as one continued
Justification. He handed to a Bristol
tradesman pedigree, tracing his an
cestors back to the Norman times, and
claiming to the astonished shopkeeper
relationship with many a noble and
knightly parsonage in past ages. He
produced the "Bristol Tragedy" and
other poems declaring them to have been
written by one Rowley, priest of the
fifteenth century. He brought forward
some old parchments, descriptive of the
principal churches and chapels in Bris-
tol; they were wholly his own produc-
ton; but by discoloring them with
smoke and Ochre, and initiating old
writings, he completely deceived Mr..
Barrett, who was at that time writing
history of the city. He wrote to Hor-
ace Walpole inclosing pieces of ancient
writing, purporting to be biographical
sketches of Bristol painters, scarcely, il
at all, known to the public, and offering
to place in his hands large collection
Of such papers. Walpole, who was at
that time preparing his Anecdotes of
Painters" entered upon the subject
with great interest; but his critical
judgement soon detected the fraud, and
he shook off the impostor. Some Lon
don booksellers made Chatterton an offer
which tempted him to come to the me-
tropolis, where he was chiefly employed
in writing satirical party articles. The
attention they attracted gratified his
enormous self-conceit; and in a wild
burst Of excitement he said to friend
that he hoped, ''by the blessing of God,
very soon to be sent prisoner to the
Tower, which will make my fortune"
The "mad genius" as he was called,
had long brooded ON suicide; and he
put it into effect at squalid lodging in
Brook street, Holborn, and did not live
to see his eighteenth year.-Chdmber's
Journal.

Is this, that there is but one form of
blood disease that it will not cure, and
that disease is cancer. He does not re-
commend his Discovery for that dis
ease, yet he knows it to be the most
searching blood cleanser yet discov-
cred, and that it will free the blood and
system of all other known blood poi
sons, be they animal, vegetable or min
eral. The Golden Discovery is sodr-
ranted by him to cure the worst forms
Of Skin Diseases. as all forms Of Pim-

Historical ChrOnOmeter and other In
struments. ts.-Among the time keepers
exhibited at the Kensingt0n Museum
is one which was twice carried by Capt.
Cook. This same time-piece was again
used by Capt. Bligh in 1877, and when
the crew of the Bounty mutinled it was
carried to Pictairn's Island. In 1908 it
was sold by Adams to an American
who touched there. He sold it in Chill
when in 1910 it was purchased by Sir
Thomas Herbert at Valparaiso, taken
by him to China, and brought back to
England in 1S43. Among astronomical
instruments may be cited two of Cali
leo'stelescOpes, the one with which he
discovered the satellites of Jupiter in
1910 and the smaller one with which he
first saw the spots on the sun. TychO
Brahe's quadrant is also on exhibition,
and the Oldest European instrument In
the collection is an astrOlabe made at
Barcelona in 1345. Not the less interest
ing is an instrument used by Sir Fran
els Drake during his voyage around
the world in 1917. By its aid Drake
could tell the suns altitude, the ebb
and flow of the tides, the hour of the
day Gf the sun was visible,) and 1t

dar, and table of latitudes, and as it
was made from brakes designs, by its

The FARMERS FRIENp.-The swallow,
swift and nighthawk are the guardians
of the atmosphere. They check the in
crease of insects that otherwise would
overload 1t. Woodpeckers, creepers and
chickadees are guardians of the trunks
of trees. Warblers and flycatchers pro-
crows and larks protect the surface of
the soil, snipe and woodcock the soil
under the surface. Each tribe has its
respective duties to operform in the econ
omy of nature; and it is an undoubted
fact that, If the birds were all swept
away from off the earth, man could not
live upon it, vegetation would wither
and die, insects would become so nu-
merous that no living thing could with
stand their attacks. The wholesale de-
struction occasioned by the grasshOp-
pers, which have lately devastated the
West, is undoubtedly caused by the
thinning out of the birds, such as grouse,
prairie hens, etc., which feed upon them.
The great and inestimable service done
to the farmer, gardener and florist by the
birds is only becoming known by sad
experience. Spare the birds, and save
your fruit; the little corn and fruit Ia
ken by them is more than compensated
by the vast quantities of noxious insects
destroyed. The long-persecuted crow
has been found, by actual experiment,
to do far more good, by the vast guam
tity Of grubs and insects he devours,
than the little harm he does in few
grains of corn he pulls up. He is one
of the farmers best friends.

VALUE OF Young CLovER.-A few
farmers are plowing up fields of young
clover Of last years seed. This prac-
tice was quite common year or two
since, and though not to be recon-
its favor. OF course the clover has not
nearly got its growth Of top and still
less of root. In fact, / find that clover
roots do not get their largest size until
the second growth after the first now
ing. 1t is this which makes growing
clover seed SO advantageous to the soil.
During the hot dry weather of July
and August the strong clover roots
strike more deeply into the subsoil than
at any previous time; and though the
second crop, including seed. is taken
from the soil, there is an increase of
fertility by the operation. That is to
say, there is more fertility available
than before. Of course there is no abb
solute gain by taking something from
the soil: but what the deep tap roots
draw from the subsoil more than balan-
ces what is taken away in the hay and
seed. In plowing under young clover
most of this advantage is lost; but if
plowing is delayed until nearly the last
of May, there will still be time for
planting corn or potatoes. The clover,
at this early stage, is very succulent,
and Immediately begins to decay, max
ing the soil warm and light. There is
no trouble from sod in after cultivation
where young clover has been plowed
under, and the speedy decay of the
plants under the corn is for the first
= c,,nar;nr 10 ~
of manure. In heavy, rich soil this
may be all the fertilizing needed. On
the whole, the practice is not nearly so
wasteful as it appears, and is certainly
much better than leaving the field un-
seeded because the farmer expects to
plow it the following season. Some
even argue that it pays to seed spring
grain which it is intended to plow and
sow in the fall. But this is very doubt
full. Clover the first summer makes a
very small growth of either top or root,
and as stubble for fall sowing should be
plowed as early as possible the clover
can be of very little value. The oats
or barley shelled on the ground in har-
vesting are worth nearly their market
value as grain for manure when the
field is plowed early. 1 am not sure that
it would not pay to sow oats on stubble
grounds to be cultivated under just be-
fore drilling in the wheat. Such land
will be better, moister seed-bed than
if left bare during the month Of August
and early part Of September. We have
learned during the past few years that
the crop of wheat depends mainly on
the growth and vigor of the plant the
preceding fall. Anything which secures
this, whether it be clover or other sue
culent plants plowed under, is of great
benefit to the crop.

Ammonia and Nitric Acid in Rirer
Water.-M. BOussingault. on the Occa-
sion of the recent freshet in the Seine,
made some curious researches of a
auantitative character in regard to the
nitrogenOus compounds IN river water.
Undoubtedly the bulk of such nitroge-
nous substances was derived from the
destruction and solution of some of the
buildings, and the wash from the cul-
tiyated fields through which the river
ran. On the day of the greatest rise in
the Seine NJ. BOuissingault calculated
that each cubic metre of water held in
solution 33 centigrammes of ammonia,
and gramme and 90 centigrammes of
nitric acid. On the day the analysis
was made the calculation showed that
143, SIC, 400 cubic metres of water passed
under bridge in Paris in the twenty
four hours. This would show that in
a single day the quite large amount of
47.53S kilOgrammes of ammonia and
1872. .212 kllogrammes of nitric acid were
carried OFF,

A FARMER states that he planted five
rows of corn with seed taken from the
three inches below the top of the ear,
rejecting the imperfect grains at the ex-
treme point; then five rows taken from
the middle and base of the ear, reject
ing the imperfect grains at the butt.
The result was that the five rows
planted from the middle and butt of the
ear ripened about two and half weeks
before the other rows, the corn of the
former being better cared and filled to
the end of the cob.

Few persons practice pruning cucum-
Der, melon, and other similar kinds of
vines; still, it is just as beneficial, if
properly done, as the annual pruning
Of the grape and other woody plants.
The pruning should be confined, how
ever, to the pinching of the ends Of
shoots only.

FISH CAKEs.-One pint bowl salt cod
fish, picked very fine, two pint bowls of
whole, raw peeled potatoes; put together
in cold water and boil till the potatoes
are thoroughly cooked; remove from
fire and drain off all the water, mash
with potato-masher, add piece of butter
the size Of an egg, two well beaten eggs,
and little pepper; mix well with a
wooden spoon; have frying-pan with
boiling lard or drippings, into which
drop a spoonful of mixture and fry
brown; do not freshen the fish before
boiling with potatoes, and do not mold
cakes, but drop from spoon.

Erplosice Porer of Water.-PhilOso-
pliers assure us that when they are en-
abled to explode pure water without
converting it into steam-as is believed
to occur when an unusual volcanic
eruption happens-a destructive instru-
mentality will have been made mani
fest whica will utterly dwarf all our
previous experience of explosives. Pro-
fessOr PIazzi Smyth said that he had
momentarily caught this terrific power
on one occasion, when, having pushed
a single drop of water into a large
ladleful of melted lead, the whole of
the metal was instantly dispersed in
the air. Probably. also, the recorded
destruction of certain copper foundry,
through workman splitting into q
cauldron of molten copper, was due to
the same awful potentiality.

To KEEP the roots from rambling we
lift, and if necessary shorten few
times while the trees are young, thus
bringing them into the habit Of forming
fibry roots near home; while to prevent
them entering cold, unsuitable soil we
find there is nothing SO efectaal as keep
ing the surface soil in a suitable state
as regards moisture and richness, and,
of course. not digging and cropping it.

A FRENCH chemist asserts that salt
alone answers all purposes for packing
pork, provided all animal heat has left
it before salting. No saltpetre should
be used, as it induces scurvy. The brine
should be as strong as possible, and
cold water is capable of dissolving more
salt than hot water.

CURE FOR Cuts AND WoUNDs.-It is
not generally known that the leaves of

two leaves must be bruised and applied

will become cicatrised in very short
time,
