Opening IN. Canal.

The most acceptable proposition that can be
made TO persons troubled with chronic consti.
patton Is to open that important canal-the
bowels That proposition can be carried out
letters Stomach Bitters, the most effective,
most genial Alternative extant. It Is the mis-,
take Of many otherwise sensible people, that
they resort to drastic, or in other words. VIC
lent purgatives. Without exaggeraHon, this Ia
highly injurious, since such indictments
weaken the bowels besides convulslng both
them and the stomach with pain. Relief
sought from the Bitters comes freely enough,
but they never produce pain, excessive action,
or subsequent weakness Of the bowels. Liver
and kidney trouble, malaria, dyspepsia, lack OF
stamina and q tendency to rheumatism, are
remedted by this pleasant substitute for
lrenching cathartics.

Horticultural Hints.

Some plants are naturally more
tender than others and need more
care.
A ounce needs rich soil more
than the apple and requires more
pruning.
Unless it is a very wet season level
cultivation will give the best results
in the garden.
The tent caterpillar seems worse
where there is good growth OF wild
cherry trees.
Understood fruit OF any variety is
not worth raising, either Tor homo use
or for market
While not so valuable in other re-
spects Seeding peaches are gener'
ally the hardest
1t is serious mistake that is often
made of allowing young tree or vine
to overbear too young.
A good remedy for the melon bus

do it in Just the right way, too -
by using Natures own methods.
That's why they're better than tho
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take; only one little Pellet
is needed for a gentle laxative -
three for a cathartio. They cleanse
and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements OF
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-

Glover on sandy Soils.

There is no way OF keeping up
sandy soil so easily and cheaply as by
raising clover on it. But it is not all
sandy soil that will grow good clover.
Sometimes the cause is mechanical.
the soil blowing away from the seed
or possibly with it into adjacent
ravines But it is more generally due
to lack OF the proper mineral ele'
ments. Clover loves lime and potash,
and on sandy land potash is often
lacking. A dressing OF leached OF
better still OF unleached ashes will
get clover catch on many field:
where year after year the seed has
failed to grow. The potash has q
mechanical effect on the soil. i

crust making it less likely to blow
