Summer Trouble.

The foundation of many cases of
lung and kidney disease is laid in
summer Persons, while perspiring,
expose themselves to draughts, and
before they realize it they become
chilled. The pores of the skin close,
and the waste matter that the skin
has been throwing off is retained in
the blood, and the kidneys and lungs
are forced to take care of it. The re-
suit is that they often break down.
In all such cases take REDS GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. This will
arouse the kidneys to action, stimulate
the circulation, and thus open the
pores of the skin. AS soon as this is
done the lungs are relieved of their
load and the system is restored to a
condition Of perfect health. This
great remedy contains no opiate or
other poison, but it is the best thing
for all throat complaints, and for any
malady that attacks the lungs or kid
neys, that was ever offered to the
public. All druggists keep it. %

High Prices for stock.

We frequently have complaints
about the high price Of pure-bred
stock and have several times taken
occasion to notice them. We think
that there is a very erroneous con-
ception OF the matter in many minds,
and that better understanding
should be had. Some do not hesitate
to charge the breeder of thorough
breads with being monopolist, when
as a matter of fact there is not
single element of monopoly in his
business. A monopoly or ANYTHING
approaching to it, in breeding, is ut
terly out Of the question. A man
might own all the animals Of certain
breed that there are in the country,
but that would not constitute him
monopolist; and at this stage of the
history Of live stock in this country,
he could not geta single dollar for an
animal more than IL was worth to the
buyer. III he.asked thousand dol
lars for an animal that was worth
only five hundred for any purpose he
would never sell it. Either that
breed would never get beyond his
farm, IL he continued TO ask for its
representatives more than they were

Irrigation.

Considering the great antiquity Of
the idea Of irrigation, that it has
been successfully practiced in the
countries of the world for ages, and
its benefits been known through all
the succeeding years, it is matter Of
surprise that so little thought has
been given to the subject in this
country, except in those sections
where from their aridity it became
compulsory
Though many portions Of our coun-
try are favored with rains that give
security against absolute drought,
there are periods OF time when sup
ply Of water would make great diff
ference in the yield of crops A sue
cessful system Of irrigation means
expense in the construction of the
necessary bitches; but does not the
removal Of stones, the building Of
fences, undertaking and many other
things considered necessary in agri-
cultural operations also mean ex-
penSe? Whatever will increase the
crops grown and will serve to insure
their growth. must be recognized by
all farmers of advanced thought, and
wherever system of irrigation can
be successfully entered upon, those
who can be benefited thereby should
unite and make such constructions
Of bitches as will be necessary.

No AMOUNT of straining can remove

WHEN straining your milk don't try
how much stuff you can force through

SINCE the tide has turned toward
winter dairying, the assertion that 1t
does not pay to keep pigs is heard
more frequently, and is made with
more than old-time emphasis.

calves and no fowls, we would give 1t

FIRST thoroughly rinse your milk

it with boiling water and kill several

Hints to Housekeepers.

SCoRCHED spots may be removed
from cotton or linen by rubbing well
with chlorine water.
WHITE spots can be removed from
furniture by holding hot iron over,
but not on the place.
ACID, wine or fruit stains may be
extracted by first being moistened
with ammonia, then washed in chlor-
inc water.
AN ingenious female has hit upon
the idea of 'dress album, in which
tiny cuttings Of every gown belong
ing to its owner are to be chrome

Suggestive Notes.

PLAN to have something ready to
sell.
SOD can be plowed when quite wet.
FLOWING under clover saves ma
nure.
PLANT as soon as the ground is
ready.
NEVER make sudden changes of
feed with the stock.
In lessening the number OF stock
always sell the worst.
A RICH soil is an essential item in
the growing of good crops.
A SHARP pillow makes the work
easier both on the men and teams.
OUTSTANDING our resources is an
important item in farm economy.
TIE only safe rule in feeding is to
feed according to the animals needs.
PREPARING the soil as a good filth
before planting the seed helps to head
off the weeds.
ALL Of the feed supplied TO an ami
NAL after it has matured is given at
lessened profit.

It always pays to attend to some
little matters In farming operations,
and among them is that of printing
butter in family dairles Putting up
butter in large, smooth rolls has had
its day, and the use Of prints has its
effect In the. price. Neglecting TO
put up butter in good style may be
the means OF losing sale, while an
established print serves as an adver-
tisement and assists In the sale. 1t

Fruit Buds of Peach Troes.

Experiments for protecting the
fruit-buds OF peach trees from injury
by cold during the winter have been
made for several years at the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College, and
for four years past in the early win
ter the roots of several OF the trees
have been loosened on the south and
north sides and the trees laid over on
the ground. In this way, If the
roots are cut off during the early
summer, the growth will be forced
into the roots on the east and west
sides, and these will be simply
twisted little in the process Of bend
ing over. The trees are bent toward
the south to avoid the direct rays Of
the sun on the trunk and main
branches In the first experiment
the buds were injured by heat be-
cause the trees were covered too closely;
after that they were covered with
mats and other light material, and
large percentage OF the buds were
saved
Last spring, while about SO per
cent. Of the fruit-buds were destroyed
on unprotected trees, those which
were protected show only 10
per cent. destroyed. Many Of the
trees treated in this way are more
than ten years old, and they arc easily
set up in the spring, grow well and
mature crop. No covering should
be put on the ground under the
tree, as the moisture seems neces-
sary to keep the buds in good con-
dition, and IL the land is in sod the
trees should be sprayed with the
Bordeaux mixture and with skim
milk and paris green to protect them
from field mice, which are very fond
of them. Garden and Forest.
