large limb or fork about seven feet
from the top, set it solidly, saw the fork

Can be counted on
to cure Catarrh DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's nothing new. For
25 years it has been doing that very
thing. 1t gives prompt and COM
plete relief-but you want more
than that. And you get it, with
this Remedy there's a cure that
is perfect and permanent. The
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to its
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal
ing properties. "Cold in the Head "
needs but a few applications. Ca
tarrhal Headache, and all the
troubles that come from Catarrh,
are at once relieved and cured.
You can count on something else,
too $500 in cash.
You can count on it, but it's
more than doubtful whether you
earn it.
The proprietors of DIR. Sage's
Remedy, in good faith, offer that
amount for an incurable case of
Catarrh. Don't think that you
have one, though.
They'll pay you, if they can't
cure you. That's certain.
But they can cure you. That's
just about as certain, too.
Can you ask more ?

SMOOTHING HARROW.

A Splendid Homemade Implement for
Destroying Weeds.

CROP, and it does so much better work
and so much faster than any ready

like to be without it. 1t is just as good
for killing weeds in potatoes as in corn.
The field should be narrowed as soon as
two or three days after planting, and
surely twice week until the corn is 4
to inches high. Use one horse until
the corn is up nicely and then use two
horses, always driving between the
rows so as not to trample on corn or
row.
The woodwork of this harrow is all
of good, seasoned white oak, painted
three coats, with venetian red dry
mixed in raw oil. The teeth can be

The process of detasseling corn con-
sists in removing the upper portion OF
the stalk to which the spray of male or
pollen bearing flowers is attached. Sew
eral experiments have shown that it in
creases the crop to remove the tassel
from fully one-half Of the stalks before
the pollen is shed. The results of some
extensive tests made by the Nebraska
experiment station show the opposite
effect. There was uniformly lessened
yield upon the plats when one-half of
the stalks were detasseled. Similar re-
suits obtained when the tassels were
removed after the pollen had been ma
tured and scattered In view of these
results, it does not seem wise to inter
fere with nature for profits sake

sPlRiTUALISM IN AMERICA.
It's Vigorous Growth Since the Days o
the Fox Family.

It's Vigorous Growth Since the Days OF
the Fox Family.
What is known as modern Spiritualism
began with demonstrations" in the
Fox family in Hydesville, N. Y, in
March, 1878. The same phenomena had
been common in Shaker communities
before that date, and, indeed, in almost
all ages and among many different peo-
Piles, but it was then that these demon
strations, generally in the form of rap
pings. began to be interpreted as COM
munications from the disembodied
spirits of men and women who had, in
the ordinary course of nature, passed
away, but whose spirits were still in q
living and active state. From this
time individuals began to investigate
these spirit manifestations, circles be-
gan to be formed, mediums were dis
covered, lecturers recognized, and a
literature established.
Spiritualists claim that the miracles
of Christ are explained by the central
doctrine of their belief, and they regard
the demonstrations of Spiritualism as
establishing by evidence the fact of a
is personal being, but that he exists
in all things Eternal progression is
the law of the spirit world, and every
individual will attain supreme wisdom
and unalloyed happiness.
A few spiritual societies employ per-
manent speakers, but usually they APP
point lecturers for limited terms, vary
ing from week to several months. A
large proportion of the lecturers are
mediums who are believed to speak
under the influence or direction of the
spirit who guides or controls them.
They follow the scriptural iniunction:
"TalSe no thought how or what We shall
speak, for it shall be given you in that
same hour what We shall speak" When
lecturer appears before an audience,
therefore, he asks that subject be
given him. and when he receives it
begins to speak upon it without hesita-
ton. Summer gatherings or camp meet
ings, VIII ich continue from one to ten
weeks, have become prominent among
the spiritualists. In 1890 twenty-five
such meetings were held.
The spiritualists report 3S4 organize
tions, with thirty regular church
edifces, not including halls, pavilions,
and other places owned or occupied by
them. There are 5000 members, and
the value of the property reported,
which includes camp grounds as well
as church edifices, pavilions, ETC., is
s57S,650. Not many of the halls are
owned by them. There are members in
thirty-six states, besides the District of
Columbia and the territories of Okla
homa and Utah. Among the states
Massachusetts, has the greater number,
7,S45; New York stands second with
1851 and Pennsylvania third with 1869.
The five spiritualistic societies of Mis-
souri, have S53 members. Illinois has
1914 members. 1t is rather notable that
the spiritualists are stronger in New
England than in any other part Of the
country. Iowa is their best western
state. There they have a membership

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

DEEP blowing is one of the essentials
Of good garden; vegetables and other
products will never attain their best
condition unless they can send their
roots down into a loose, deep, rich soil.
Webb DonnelL
ONE of our progressive horticultur.
iets advises fruit growers to dip their
trees. root and branch, in disinfect-
ing liquids before planting them. If
this were universally done he claims
that the ravages of many kinds of
diseases and insects would be much re-
duced.
SOME farmers change their methods
Of work and their crops too often. 1t
takes some time to become thoroughly
tain crop on each particular farm, and
to discard it as soon as this information
has been obtained is to lose the benefit
of the past experience.
A VARIETY of stock calls for variety
Of food Feeding corn exclusively to
all classes of stock is extravagant, even
when corn is cheap, as it may not sat
isfy the requirements of the animals.
The best results are obtained from a
variety of food. as it supplies all neces-
sites, and, as consequence, cheapens
the cost.
For the information of those who
have never made a trawberry bed it
may be mentioned that no old plants
should be set out. Select young plants,
which may be known by their white
roots Old plants have dark roots
Young plants will grow singly and
throw out runners later on, completely
mating the rows.

Testing a Horse for Lameness.

When examining horse with a view
20 purchasing, says a contemporary,
ALWAYS have him led down steep or
stony descent at the end of halter and
with no whip near him. Many horses
when brought out of the stable are exc
cited by the presence of strangers and
become still more so at the sight of a
whip. A slight lameness NAV there
fore be momentarily overlooked by the
horse himself, just as man. under ex-
element, will sometimes forget sore
foot. Leading the horse down slope
will show any defect in his forequar-
ters, and running him back will de-
velop any weakness that may exist in
his hind legs.

can float the steamer and possibly take her
off the beach. Captain O'Brlen will remain
on the wreck over night to ascertain what
effect the tide has upon the steamer.
From the parties who went on board the
steamer il is learned that she was found to
have some water in her, but was lying on
an even keel. Just how much water there
is in the whaleback could not be ascer-
tanned. The investigation was of a salts
