A Common-Sense Remedy.

In the matter Of curatives what you want
is something that will do its work while
you continue to do yours-a remedy that
will give you no inconvenience nor inter
fere with your business. Such q remedy
is ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs. These
plasters are purely vegetable and absolute
ly harmless. They require no change of
diet, and are not affected by wet or cold.
Their action does not interfere with labor
or business; you can toll and yet be cured
while hard at work. They are SO pure
that the youngest, the oldest, the most
delicate person of either sex can use them
with great benefit
Beware of limitations, and do not be de-
ceived by misrepresentation.
Ask for ALLcoCK's, and let no explain
ton or solicitation induce you to accept a
substitute.

Where the Fertility Goes.

In a ton of timothy hay there are
80 pounds nitrogen, worth $3.50, 40
pounds of potash, worth ~, and IA
pounds phosphoric acid, worth Sl.2l;
total value in one ton of hay in these
elements 1892. This 1892 is what
this ton of hay would be worth on the
arm for manure, provided it should
become necessary to buy commercial
fertilizers, such as bone dust, super
phosphate, etc, to keep up the fer
tility of the farm. If the farmer
sold $500 worth of hay at $3.50 per
ton, 40 tons, he would sell in nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid
that which he could not get
back for less than 1916; $500
worth of clover hay, at $40 per ton,
would remove the same elements to
the value of 1856; $500 worth of corn,
$3.50; $500 worth of wheat at 81 per
bushel, 1925; $500 of wool, $50; $500
of milk and butter, $3S; $500 of fruits,
much less than either; $500 of cotton
and tobacco, more than any two of the
others.
Now, could we feed this hay and
grain on the farm in the production of
milk aud butter and wool and meat,
and get enough in the products to pay
for the hay and grain, we would retain
between 50 and so per cent. of these
fertilizing elements on the farm, as
only about 10 per cent, of these ele-
ments are appropriated by the animals.
So that if we pastured sheep in the
summer and fed the hay in winter, and
sold wool and mutton to the value
of $500, we would remove from the
farm only $50 worth of these essential
fertilizing elements, and the tendency
to impoverishment of soil would be
very little. We would tend to i'm
poverishment of land seven times
faster by selling $500 worth of clover
hay, six times faster by selling timo-
thy, 81 times by selling corn, q
times by selling wheat, and, estimat-
ing roughly, more than 10 times by
selling tobacco and cotton, and only
three-fourths times as fast by selling
milk and butter, and even less by sell
ing fruits,

Foliage, White and Tuile Bonnets, Flow

Foliage bonnets are made to rival
the pretty flower bonnets, those most
admired being made of rose leaves in
tender green sprays mounted on wire
foundation that is covered with invisi-
BILE green tulle. The front Of the brim
is entwined with green point d'esprit,
which drapes the edge effectively; an
erect spray of the leaves gives the
height of an aigrette; the short strings
leach only half yard long) are OF
leaf green velvet ribbon to be tied in a
small bow by the wearer, and there
are tiny pins, like rubies set in gold,
thrust in the net on the edge OF the
front. Ivy-leaf bonnets are also in
great favor, and there are others OF
forest leaves, in which there are some
autumn tinges, but the latter are not Sc
appropriate for summer as the rose
leaf bonnets. Thick green stems and
dark leaves with red berries are used
for garden bonnets For flower bon.
bets the smallest blossoms, such as for
get-me-nots, Parma violets OF the
palest shades, heliotrope and haw-
thorn are employed by some milliners,
while others use large roses without
foliage, finishing yellow roses with
black velvet ribbon bow and strings,
and the bright yellow Marechal Mel
roses with edges of green ribbon vel
vet. In all flower trimmings stems
are long and conspicuous, especially
the stems of roses with many thorns
upon them.
White bonnets for dressy summer
wear are of the new fancy chip braids
that have double rows of loops. Some
of these have wide open space be-
tween the brim and the crown, which
is filled in with a puff of white lisse
from ear to ear; others have cluster
of white roses outside and inside the
front in the point above the forehead
and loops of white velvet ribbon come
forward from the back of the crown
If touch of color is preferred fol
white chips, the sides are covered by
pink roses without foliage, surmounted
by an Alsacian bow of black ribbon
velvet dropping in two loops on the
sides, and there are short strings O.

appropriate with almost any dress thai
is fashionable this season, alike as {
morning or an afternoon costume.
Tulle bonnets are chosen to mattel
the color of the dress, and are made
pleasantly light for midsummer wear
as they dispense with all heavy frames
and with still heavier jets or othel

COMMODORE KITTSON.
The Famous Pioneer Going to the Legis-
lature on Dog Sledge.

The Famous Pioneer Going to the Legis-
lature on a Dog Sledge.
While at Pembina in 1850 Mr.. Kilt
son established a line of 'Pembina
carts, which were used to convey furs
from that country to Mendoza on the
Mississippi river and return with
goods, taking the place of the voy-
ageurs who had previous to that time
transported these articles on their
backs in small packs. The shipment
of furs was for some twenty years
made in those carts. The Pembina
cart was two-wheeled concern made
entirely of wood and leather, without
a particle of iron, and would carry
about six hundred pounds. They cost
about fifteen dollars, and were made
by Canadians. In this cart was
fastened an OK or Indian pony, geared
with broad straps of buffalo hide. One
driver could manage several of the
carts by simply guiding the leading OK,
the rest being tied to the tail of the
preceding cart. No grease was ever
used on the axles, and their creaking
was frightini and on sill, days could
be heard for mics. The drivers oil
these carts were swarthy, half or quar-
ter breeds, usually clad in suit of
coarse blue cloth, with profusion of
brass buttons and red sash around
their waists, into which were stuck a
couple of bowie knives.
The distance from Pembina to Men
dota was about five hundred miles by
the trail of those days. The caravan
would generally start in June as soon
as there was grass enough for the cat
tie, and the down trip would consume
about forty days. At night the cara
van would be drawn up in a circle and
the men slept on the ground. Sentinels
were posted to watch for Indians. The
men subsisted on game and dried meat.
Mr.. Kittson made many trips with
these trains, and while engaged with
him j. j. Hill, now president of the
Manitoba road, drove many of the
trains. He was engaged in the trade
| for himself at one time and managed
his own line of carts. Mr.. Hill is a
very dark, swarthy man, and as he
dressed in buckskin leggins and blue
blouse, and wore mass of black hair
all over his face, old settlers say it was
difficult to tell him from one of his half.
breed drivers.
In 1859 Mr.. Kittson was elected to
the Territorial Legislature from Penn
bina, and made the trip to st. Paul in
the middle of winter on snow sledges,
the only means of travel in those days.
He made the trip in sixteen days. His
.cariole was drawn by three fine dogs,
harnessed tastefully, with iingling
bells, and driven tandem. They could
make mile in $40 when put to their
best speed. They usually travelled thir-
ty or forty miles day on a pound Of
pemmican. Mr.. Kittson was of robust
health, and enjoyed the hardships Of
those early days when he was laying
the foundation of his great fortune
