PUT YOURSELF IN HER PLACE.

We often wonder how many men have really tried to put themselves in g woman's place. Fancy man brought to trial before court composed entirely of women Fancy man going. year after year, to pay his taxes when he was denied representation Fancy him bear ing, year after year, the burden of work for the churches with no voice in their councils {! Fancy him sitting quietly listening to the average Fourth of July speech, declaring this to be govern ment of the people when he knew half the people were disfranchised Gan any one imagine man in such situation holding his peace, and would any one respect him for moment if he did |? Yet he has no more at stake in govern ment than woman has. It involves his dearest interests, but SO it does hers. She is equally amenable with him to every law. Who is more concerned than woman in every law affecting the home, property, marriage and divorce. and who has greater stake in war In short, though woman cannot lift her finger to change the law, she is not therefore exempt The law does not let her alone. It interferes in all her affairs from the cradle to the grave. Woman's Standard.

 Did you ever ealculate the value of . single potato on fhe basis that that sim gle tuber was the only one left in the world? That one would, of course, con- tain within itself the, possibility of re- stocking the world with valuable article of food. If one potato would produce, when planted, but ten potatoes. in ten years the total product of that one potato would be 10000. 900, 900, which would stock the whole world with seed. If the world were reduced to one single potato it would be better that London or Chicago be plotted from the earth than for that one tuber to be lost.

FARM. FIELD. GARDEN.
OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIMENTS
 IN LIFE ON THE FARM.

Rssults of Experiments in Applying Fer
 tili.ers to Wheat as Reported from the
 Great Rothamstsd Farm and the Ohio
 Agricultural Expsriment Station.
 During the period of thirty-six years In which experiments in applying fertil- ixers to wheat have been carried on at the great Rothamsted experiment farm, a plot that has received no manure what ever has given an average annual yield of thirteen bushels per acre. Aplot that had received every fall about 400 pounds each of superphosphate and potash salts has given an average yield of fifteen bushels. When this dressing of super phosphate and potash was followed in the spring by $50 pounds of nitrate of soda the yield rose to thirty-six bushels; but when the nitrate was used on 8 plot that hsd not had the fall dressing of superphosphate and potash the yield was only twenty-four bushels per acre.
 Acting on this hint the Ohio experi- ment station has induced 8 few farmers, who had used 300 to 800 pounds of bone CT similar phosphatic fertilizers when sowing their wheat in the fall, to follow with dressing of 15O pounds of nitrate of soda in the spring. Four such experi- ments were made in different parts of the state. In one case no difference in the growth of the crop was seen, so the experiment was not carried out. In the other three cases the yields on the plots receiving the nitrate were ten, twelve and nineteen bushels per acre greater than on those which had phosphate but no nitrate.
 The explanation of this result, says The Cincinnati Gazette, Is that wheat generally requires fertilizer containing both phosphogic acid and nitrogen. and that If one of these ingredients be with held the other cannot have its full effect.
 The reason for applying nitrate of coda in the sp<ing is that it is easily dissolved in water, and will be largely washed away if applied in the fall before the plant can get the benefit tof 1t. It should not be used until growth starts in the spring, and 1t will sometimes be of ad- vantage to divide tho applications then, making one as late as May.

Mr.. LID Kesrney, a former resident of
Ontario township, this county, was met
here this morning. For the last five
years MIR: Kearney has been living at DAY.
Is City, Butler county, Neb. Last winter
he was taken with severe attack Of la
grippe, which left him unable to attend
to business. Last June he returned to
this county to visit old friends, and
while here Mr.. W. ii. Woods of Wata
ga, recommended him to try Compound
Vapor Baths as administered by Dr, j. u.
Williams, of Galesburg. Mr.. Kearnev
took six baths, and WAS so much benift-
ted that he returned home and to work.
But again his health gave way, and finally
he went to Omaha, where the best physi-
clans of that city were consulted but
without cure. On recommendation OF
his family physician, whom MIR. KearneY
told his experience with Compound Va
por Baths, he again returned to Gales
burg, where In the last two weeks he has
taken eighteen baths, and now looks a
stout, healthy man, albeit little white
on account of not going out much. DIR.
Williams has ordered full bath outfit
shipped to Mr.. Kearney's home so he may
be able to continue the baths Mr..
Kearney says he feels az well as he ever
did In his life, and gives all the credit to
DR.. Williams and his Compound Vapor
Baths. DR.. Williams has conducted this
institution for the last year, and In that
time has given more than six hundred
Baths, and cured between fifty and sixty
cases of rheumatism, many of his patients
living right here In Galeshurg. -Republi-

The reunion occurred on Wednesday,

special car net aside for their accommoda-
ton, in which they were conveyed to
Lynn.
In due time the Fifteenth boys were
formed in line, and, preceded by the Of
ficers and members of the Veterans As
ISOLATION, were escorted to Odd Fellows
Hall Here the large audience Of ex-sold-
iers and citizens-several hundred in num-
ber-were formally welcomed by the
chosen representatives of the various CON-
binations uniting in extending the hos
pitalities.
Then came the happy feature of all
soldiers re-unions-the very hearty hand
shaking and cordial greeting of comrades
long and widely separated There were
upwards of hundred of the survivors of
the old regiment present, coming from
every direction, some of them remote Sec
tions.
Dinner was served at Bass Point House,
Nahant, one of those famous fsh
dinners for which the house has at
tanned an enviable reputation. The party
at the tables comprised one hundred and
eighty Weight, comrades, their wives and
daughters, and invited guests.
