KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

Farmers Should Not BE Asked to Pay for
All Road improvements.
The following lately appeared in a
Peoria paper:
1.-The Peoria Bicycle club has undertaken TO
assist in educating the people of central Illinois
10 the necessity Of good roads. AT their own
expense they have contracted Tor large guam
tity of road literature including the periodical
Good Roads, and propose to keep up running
fire against the farmers, road supervisors, civil
engineers, etc.
Against which farmer in the Coun-
try Gentleman enters just and manly
protest, saying: There is altogether
too much preaching on the part of the
wheelmen. They want roads put in
thorough repair but they take care not
to incur any share of the expense of do
ing the work. They propose to keep
up running fire against the farmers,
etc Now, would it not be very much
better to start and keep up a running
fire against our federal and state law
makers, and have our leading thorough
fares put in thorough repair and kept
so by our state and national govern
ment? 1t has got so that our most
travelled turnpilles are patronized chief
others who come out of the cities and
wear out roads made by or at the eX-
pense of hard working farmers and
market gardeners. ! have in mind
stretch of turnpike which it will cost
SAC. 600 to macadamize. This will be
paid for by small farmers, who only
drive over the road occasionally, while
the road is in almost constant use by
bicycle riders and carriage riders from
one of our large cities. Some way
should be devised to compel the dwell
ers in our cities to bear a portion of the
expenses of suburban drives. The most
equitable way would seem to be for the
state to do large share of the work of
building leading thoroughfares into
suburban districts. In the meantime
it would be well for wheelmen to
change the direction of their running
fire: farmers, etc, already have their
hands about full. 1t is always easier
to advocate the expenditure of other
peoples money than it is TO put our
hands into our own pockets"

Bones for Plants.

1t isn't worth while to let the odds
and ends of bones go to waste, nor yet
let them be gathered by the scavengers
who infest the country and make good
living by getting them together and
selling them, while taking anything
else about the place that comes in their
way. Barrels of bones could be saved
yearly by even a small family, and it
only requires few hours boiling in
strong I've to soften them so that they
may be crushed with the back of the
spade. Properly composted. they make
al excellent feed for plants of all kinds,
their stimulating influence being felt
throughout the season.

Grass for Dairy Cows.

Grass that will produce an excellent
quality Of milk and butter must be
good for the production of an excellent
quality of meat, for milk and butter
quickly reflect the character of the feed
and are much more susceptible to faint
from improper food. Milk is intended
by nature for the nourishment and
growth of the offspring, and the food
which viii produce the best milk must
also produce the best growth of the an
imal. Grass is the natural food for the
production of milk. and it is the natu raj
food for the growth and strength of our
domestic animals. Hence, when we
improve the quantity and quality of our
grasses for pasturage and hay, we also
necessarily improve the quality of our
animals and the quantity IND quality
of the milk and meat we get from them

A WASTE OF WEALTH. .
That Is What Robbing Our Country OF kts
Great Forests Mean.


The new secretary of agriculture,
Mr.. Morton, declares that in less than
twenty-five years-if the rate of timber
consumption remaines unchanged
there will not be a tree left in the
United States.
If the Arab saying be true, that ne
who plants a tree is friend to man
kind, Mr.. Morton deserves well of this
country, for his efforts to promote tree
culture in his own state, Nebraska, have
led to the planting of forty million trees.
Few people realize what the destruc-
ton of the forests means. 1t is not
merely the reckless waste of our lum-
Der resources and the injury to land
scape beauty that are involved, but also
the drying up of the streams, the caus-
ing of drought and the bad effect on
the climate.
Fortunately, the people through the
Legislatures are beginning to move in
the matter. A law has just been
adopted in New Hampshire, the object
of which is to preserve what is left OF
the splendid forests that once crowned
the White Mountains, from which re-
gion about six hundred million feet OF
lumber are being taken every year.
Pennsylvania paper mourns that
the ravages of n hundred years have
left that state deforested-her springs
dried up, her streams shrunk to rivu-
lets, her hillsides bare and bleak.
New York has taken steps to es4cnd
and preserve the great AdirosfSNASk
park. For the national domain r9
cent triumph of the forestry cause hak
been the setting apart Of six reserva-
tions at the head-waters of streams in
the far west, including in all over three
million acres.
Greed for rapid gain is responsible
for much of the reckless destruction Of
one of the richest of our national pos
sessions. To use and not to abuse is the
true policy. The people must realize
that it is the public welfare that is en-
dangered.-Youth's Companion.

ONE WAY OF PRUNING.

Cut On Branches just Beyond the En-
largement Next the Trunk.
S. j. Bromley, Cogswell, n. D., writes
to the Orange Judd Farmer: THE en-
largement at the base of limbs on trees
is natures work; it serves as brace to
the branches while growing and has
great amount of healing property
stored up in it to cover the wounds
where limbs are broken or cut off My
rule for pruning trees is to cut off the
branches nearly straight across, just
beyond this enlargement By so doing
the wounds will not be half as large
as when cut close to the tree and they
will heal much quicker. Trees trimmed
in this way do not look as neat as
when the branches are cut off close,
but l consider it safer and better. l
