The Laboratory Of the System.

The stomach Is the laboratory OF the
system, in which certain mysterious
processes are constantly going on. These
result in the production, of that wonder
full vivifying agent the blood, which in
state of health rushed laden with the
element of vitality to the remotest parts
of the system. But when the stomach is
semi-paralyzed by dyspepsia, blood manu-
facture is carried on emperfectly, the
circulation grows thin and sluggish, and
the system suffers in consequence. More
over, indigestion reacts npon the liver
and bowels, rendering tho first sluggish
and the latter constlpated The brain
also suffers by sympathy, and sick head
aches, sleeplessness aud nervous symp
toms are engendered. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters reform this state of things, gives
permanent tone and regularity to the
stomach and its associate organs, the
bowels and liver, and ensures complete
nourishmellt and increased vigOr 70 the
system. 1t is the most popular as well
as the most Efficient anti-dyspeptic and
tonic in America. June At

thoroughly patriotic man IN the otate
ever since its birth, and its utter ami.
hilation has been the nightly dream OF
all who love country for country's sake.
undertake to say, that not one of the
| servants of the people now holding of:
fee, from Governor down to Constable,
could have procured a nomination if he
had proclaimed himself opposed to thor
ouyh revision of the Constitution by the
people in Convention assembled and il
any one of them, in the face of all We
have suffered at the hands Of despotism
and lawlessness, had dared to suggest
that we were electing legislature that
would arrange the present Constitution
for rs, to the extent Of twenty amend
ments leaving untouched the most Oh
iectionable features-I think that indi-
vidual would not only have failed . nom'
nation, but would have been put in a
Lunatic Asylum by his friends.
It is very difficult for man who reads
and thinks, and is at the same time at
all Jealous for relief of his State from
bad government, to speak or write teul-
perately of conduct in public officials
like this we are considering. l cannot
do either without a rising Of the gorge.
I am indignant at the utter faithlessness
exhibited, aud am disappointed at the
delay put upon our material reaction ;
or, + l am to believe for one moment in
the sincerity Of these men, then | am
shocked at the utter dearth of political
sayAcity exhibited.
But, do not believe in their sincerity
and, therefore, for their intelligence
have more respect than they care f"'
me to have. No, the conduct OF these Ec1
amounts SIMPLY to either amazing, po
litical cowardice, or to wanton abandon
ment Of the general interest in favor o.
that of the few, or to both. believe

As soon as Spring opens, our bees
should sll he examined by lifting the
frames of each hive, sGd If tho STOCKS
are weak, the bees are shut to ole
side Of the hive by means of q divis-
ion board, so as to keep up the neces.
sary heat for br~ood-reariDg on as
many combs as they a cover. As
soon as the queen has filed these
combs with eggs We spread them
apart, inserting an empty comb be-
tween those occupied With brood, and
in a few days time the queen will gil
this one also; and so We keep OF I'M
til every available cell is occupied
with brood. Thus 1t will be seen
that instead of the queen laying her
eggs on the outside of the cluster, she
LAYS them 10 the centre Of brood-nes
where they should be. Alter the
hive ia full of brood and bees, it does
not make 90 much difference, as the
weather is wsrm and bees are plenty,
80 that the queen q deposit her eggs
anywhere 10 the hive. As soon as
the strongest stocks are full, take a
frame of brood just gnawIng out, aud
place 1t 10 the weaker ones, giving
the strong M an empty comb for the
queen to Gil again, and Sd keep on
until all are full.

Hints for Fruit Growers.

Michigan has become a great fruit
producing State. The crop of apples
for 1917 is estimated as worthS2, 000,-
900; peaches, $1,000, 600. The ice
and cold water of Lake Michigan,
keep back the blossoms in the spring
till all danger of harm from late frosts
is past. Lakes Ontario and Erie do
the same for Western New York,
Pennsylvania and Northern Ohio
Apple and peach orchards planted on
the north side Of high. steep bills,
knobs and mountains in this State,
come into bloom some weeks later
than trees growing on the south side,
or on plains 10 the same latitude.
Nine tenths of all the apples and
peaches grown 10 Middle Tennessee
had the benefit of this low tempera-
ture last spring.
Apple aud peach trees growing Oh
the north side of q bill or ridge are
more subject to injury from moss
growing on their limbs and trunks
than they would be if they had more
sunshine and less damp shade. With
out the best attention, fruit trees are
short-lived where the air is humid,
for the reason that parasites destroy
thew. They need more pruning to
let 10 the sun, and to dry the atmos-
phere, Scraping of the moss and
washing trees with the lye of wood
ashes, or giving them a coat of lime
whitewssh to kill all enemies, are
proper remedies.

they will always be quiet and con-
tent, and will fatten and thrive much

and swine, While there are a sensible
few, who apply the same principle to
poultry. Many q 6ne nest of eggs

Framing Fruit Trees

Fruit trees should be pruned when
the trees gre dormant. However,
during the mild days OF viIter, or,
chards may be pruned. while little
else can be done. but good judgment
should be exercised 10 regard to se-
lecting the branches to be cut away.
1t is ruinous to an orchard to cut and
slash away one-third TO one-half the
limbs. All that should be done is to
give the trees q good shape, and only
cpt away such limbs as are clearly in
excess oil The natural requirements of
the tree to conform to the estent of
it's roots. II we take away too much
of the top of q tree it is just like tax
ing blood from q man--the more that
is taken the less vitality remains 10
him ; therefore, in pruning, only the
fey unsigbtly branches and those
improperly situated should be cut
away. When trees arg prgned, es-
pecisIly 10 winter, it is best to coyer
the wounds with . hot mixture of tar
and fine sand, or p~ulverized brick
dust. A solution Of shelac in alcohol
as thick as q be applied with a
brush is also q good preparation.

This question has so long been an
swered in the affirmative that 1t would
seem hardly worth while to discuss
it. In fact there are 80 many argu-
ments in favor Of such a belief that
the doubter must reduce some new
facts to shake them. Yet a writer in
the Rural World sets bis experience
against this wide spread belief. Ex-
perienee is better than theory unsup-
ported, if the conditions have been
carefully observed and noted. He
says: Experience has taught me
that a COW can be made to produce
more milk, but not any better, by the
addition OF corn meal, carrots, OIL
cake, shipstuf, etc. Take, for in
stance, a Jersey COW (the Jersey is
acknowledged by the n~sjori;y of in-
telligent dairymen to be the richest
milk-producing stock in e~xistence) /;
feed her on straw and her milk will
be just as rich as if fed on corn-meal,
oil-cake or anything else. But the
quantity will be very deficient. la
the same stable place an Ayrshire or
any other COW that produces more in
quantity than quality (; give her the
richest food, and her milk will be the
same In point of quality, bat the con-
tents of the pail will be swelled con-
siderably. A COW al lie made to
produce more by an addition of rich
food with plenty Of it, but not letter,
and it pays largely. Those who are
not pr~ejudiced will find an experiment
well worth q trial"
