Mrs. A. NJ. Dauphin, of 1880 Ridge Ave-,
Philadelphia, is well known to tho ladies
Of that city from the great good she has
done by means of Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham of recent interesting case. "a
young married lady came to me suffering
with severe case of Prolapsus and Ulcer
alton. She commenced taking the Com
pound and in two months was fully restored.
In proof of this she soon found herself In
an interesting condition. Influenced by
foolish friends she attempted to evade the
responsibilities of maternity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed In q most alarming state aud

full of the compound every hour for eight
hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much

season she became the mother Of fine

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Michigan allows to each farmer
who uses wide tires ON his wagon re-
bate on his taxes.
If you keep cows for making but
ter, test each ones milk separately and
see il she is performing the work for
which you keep her.
"A merchant who should draw out
half his bank account once a quarter
and throw the money into the gutter
would be looked upon as a lunatic.
But is the farmer any wiser who suffers
his manure heap to be exposed TO all
weathers, and its most important ele-
ments to evaporate or leach away? He
Is simply throwing away his capital.

Honey Pudding. - Three pints
thinly-sliced apples, one pint flour, one
pint corn-meal, small piece of butter,
one teaspoonful soda, the juice Of two
lemons and three grated lemon rinds.
Stir the dry soda into the honey, then
add the apples. melted butter and Il

Budget
Next to stagnant water on the sur
face, there is no more certain indication
of the need of drainage of land than the
growth of what we call water or swamp
plants. Where these grow freely. the
land is not adapted to the growth Of
any of the grasses which are most val
liable for either hay or pasture. Good
and thorough drainage, however, will
change such conditions. allowing better
crops to be grown. - Toledo Blade.
Nice Dressing for Sandwiches: One
half pound of sweet butter, two table
spoonfuls of mixed mustard. three ta-
blespoonfuls of salad oil, little red or
black pepper, small portion of salt
and the yolk of one egg. Rub the but
ter to a cream, add the other ingre-
dients, mix thoroughly and set away 10

well with the dressing, and spread your
bread with moderate quantity. These
sandwiches are very nice for picnics or
travellers. The Household
Pancakes Of Canned Lima Beans:
Drain the liquor from a can of Lima

BUYING A FARM.
The Line Between Actionable and Nom
Actionsble Fraud Not Always Clearly

DraWu.
A good deal of lying can pass as
GRADERS talk" without constituting
actionaple fraud. II the farmer selling
his farm truly points out the boundaries
he may declare that it contains a great
many more acres than it really does,
and that Misrepresentation will not let
the other out of his bargain. Where
the agreement is for the sale of farm
containing given number of acres at
so much per acre, there is conflict of
opinion as TO whether the purchaser is
obliged to take the property when the
number of acres falls short, but in most
cases he would probably be released
from his bargain. II the farmer SAYS to
the person to whom he sells: THAT
meadow will cut four tons of hay to the
acre." or: "You can chop $50 cords of
wood from that wood-lot,' or anything
of that sort, and the buyer finds that
two tons of hay or 100 cords of wood is
all that he actually gets the latter will
learn by sad experience the uselessness
of relying upon such representations.
On the other hand, if the farmer selling
says: al have cut four tons of hay to
the acre from that meadow, or, 81
have raised 250 bushels of corn on that
lot" etc, when, as a matter Of fact, he
has done no such thing, such misrepre-
sentations would constitute actionable
fraud and vitiatc the bargain. The
courts hold that one who is deceived
into buying farm by false statements
as to how much the one selling paid for
it. or how much another offered for it.
S without relief at law. The line be-
tween actionable and non-ac.ionable
fraud is not always clearly drawn, but
honest men will obey the law of con-
science and not experiment as TO how
far they can 60 without incurring legal
li.bllity. Prairie Farmer

A NEW FERTILIZER.
The Experience of u Farmer who Use
Bran as Manure for His Potato Crop.

The Experience of u Farmer who Used
Bran as Manure for His Potato Crop.
made an experiment some years ago
with bran as manure on potatoes,
which seemed to show that it was
especially valuable for this crop. |
prepared the bran by mixing it with an
equal bulk of leaf mold and wetting it
with manure water, the teaching OF the
manure heap, which caused violent
fermentation. l spread it out not more
than six inches deep and turned it
every day to keep it from getting too
hot, and in a few days it coed off and
was ready for use. ] used it on alter
nate rows, dropping a handful on each
hill after the seed was dropped, but BE-
fore it was covered. In three weeks
after the potatoes came up the rows to
which the bran was applied were some
inches the taller and of better color.
and the difference was plainly noticca-
be all summer. At digging-time
tested the rows with scales, weighing
the potatoes as they were dug, and
found difference of fifty per cent. in
favor of the rows on which the bran
was used. am told that often in the
cities damaged bran can be bought at
five dollars or less per ton, and have
sent an order to a commission merchant
for two tons, hoping to experiment on
a larger scale this year.
did not preserve all the data of the
former experiment, but my impression
was that even at fifteen dollars per ton,
bran was very cheap potato manure
for not only was the yield largely in
creased by it, but the quality was i'm
proved so that the rows fertilized gave
a much larger per cent of merchantable
tubers. | hope this material will be
tried on the potato crop by a large num-
ber of Tribune readers, and that they
will send in areportnext fall. Remem-
Der that the bran must be decomposed
or it will Kill the germ of the potato if
it comes in contact with it. II used dry
there should be at least two inches of
earth above the seed before the bran is
applied Every experiment which a
farmer tries whether it succeeds or not
adds something TO his stock of knowl-
edge and makes him more intelligent
man. There is no class of experiments
easier to carry out than those with
manures and none to me of greater in
terest, and | think that one effect of
such experiments will be to make the
farmer place higher value on manure
and be more careful to see that none of
it is wasted. Waldo +. Brown, IN N.

THE LATE ECLIPSE.
Some Profound Physiological and Castro

nomicai Reflections Concerning 1t.
Mondays eclipse was. on the whole,
a creditable affair. That is to say it
fulfilled the promises of the astrono-
mers. The sun was not darkcned per-
ceptibly, although some 234, 600 noses
We're marked with lamp-blatk. The
chickens did not 20 to roost on the
trees in the City Hall Park at two p.
m., and nobody expressed the opinion
that the world was coming to an end.
On the other hand, the eclipse was dis
tinctly visible through smoked glass,
and the moon, disguised as a baseball,
crossed the suns disk promptly at the
hour fixed.
The decline of eclipses is one of the
features of modern astronomy In
former years total eclipses Were quite
common, but they are never produced
at the present time except in localities
where there is nobody to look at them.
Occasionally an almanac announces
that on such date there will be total
eclipse of the sun; but it always adds,
visible only at Franz Josef Land, and
at Mgombwa, on the west shore of Lake
Tanganyika
There was time when total eclipse1
of the sun were produced in localities
where there were people to observe
them. They were eclpses worthy OF
the name, too. The sun was obscurcd
to such an extent that not only chick
ems but Young men about town. and
other still more stupid animals, imag

fore the Emperor Nero Rome became
so dark that hundreds of people went
TO the theater, and thousands OF
men made what they fancied were
evening calls on ladies of their &C.
quaintance. No Roman astronomer
would have venturcd TO announce an
eclipse visible in Michigan only" for
average Roman Emperor would have
held such an announcement to be
personal insult, and would have prompt
" thrown the astronomer to the Ions.
When Columbus found that a total
eclipse would be useful in pcrsuadng
the Indians of Jamaica TO supply his
crew with the celebrated rum of the
island, he did not inform them that In
case the rum was not produced there
would be total eclipse of the sun
visible in Russian America and the
southern part of Arizona only. He
told them that the eclipse would take
place right in front of the leading dis
tillery which was about ten rols from
tho wharf where his ship was lying,
and the eclipse did take place precisely
there. with the anticipated. effect OF
sending the local chickens to roost and
an express wagon full of kegs of rum
down to the ship.
What has been the cause OF the
disappearance of total eclipses from
the Inhabited regions of the globe
the astronomers have not told us.
1t does not follow that il is their
fault. though of course suspicion WIZ
he directed toward them. As for
the small and incomplete eclipses which
we do have they are of no practical
value and exert no beneficial influence
upon chickens. After all. total eclipses
are not very beautiful or interesting
speet,cles. and the world can get along
without them very easily.-M 4 Times

"AULD ROBIN GRAY"
How This Exquisite English Ballad Came
to lie Written.

to BE Written.
This exquisite ballad was written by
Lady Anne Lindsay, daughter of the
fifth Earl Of Balcarres. She was born
on November 27th, 1850, and at the
early age of twenty-one produced the
ballad which Sir Walter Scott says sis
worth all the dialogues which Corydon
and Phyllis have had together. from
the days of Theocritus downward" In
1898 Lady A. Lindsay married Mr.. An.
drew Barnard, son of the Bishop OF
Limerick, with whom she went out to
the Cape, on his appointment as Col
onial Secretary under Lord Mccartney.
Mr.. Barnard dying at the Cape,
his widow returned to London,
where she enjoyed the friendship
of Burke. Windham, and others,
until her death, which occurred in the
year 1925. 1t was not until she was in
her sevonty-thrd year that Lady Bar
nard made known the secret of the
authorship OF this ballad An amusing
story is told in connection with its pro-
duction. On Lord Balcarres' estate
was shepherd of the name of Robin
GRAY, and for some act of his Lady
Anne resolved to immortalize his MEM
ory. Upon her little sister entering
her room one day, Lady Anne said: Il
have been writing ballad, my dear;
and l am expressing my heroine with
