On our western prairies. where the
wind has such sweep, trees are often
bent from straight position. There il q
young cottonwood growing where we
see 1t almost every day. 1t was per-
fectly straight when it started to grow
1t remained straight until it was large
enough for the strong west wiuds to get
sweep at it. For two years it has been
leaning as result of the wind Fruit
trees are hardly as susceptible to this
injury as the cottonwood with its dens-
er foliage. but they are liable to injury
from this cause Much has been written
about stalking your trees. but many neg
lect to do it. If tree is firmly set in soil
where it is possible to set it as firmly as
it ought to be set. it may. and probably
will. come out all right But one thing
needs to be assured, to say nothing
about the desirability of having the trees
grown straight. 1t should be held in po-
sition in some way so that the young
roots will not be disturbed.-Ex.

WORTH KNOWING.

Mr.. W. H. organ. merchant, Lake

attended with a distressing cough and
running into consumption in its first
stages. He tired many so called popular

Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in
breathing and was unable to sleep. Fin.
ally he tried Dr. Kings New Remedy for
Consumption, and found immediate re-
lief. and after using about half dozen
bottles found himself well and has had
no return of the disease No other rem
edy can show so grand a record of cures
as DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con

Barrels Of Beer.

Last year Kansas drank II. 900 barrels
of beer. This was probably II, 900 barrels
more than was necessary for anybody's
health. Nebraska with population only
half as large rs Kansas drank 1SO, 600
barrels of beer. So we see at this rate
prohibition really prohibited 343 900 bar
rels of beer from Kansas last year. This
might have been in the brewers pockets
instead Of the pockets Of merchants,
millers. mechanics, farmers, etc.-State
