The delicate girl, because she is so

physical culture: "()h, l can't ex-

'Talk about Spectators" aid a
produce dealer the other day; "there
isn't a greater speculator out than
the farmer. If the price of any prod
uct goes up he never wants to sell;
no matter how high the price, he
always wants more. After the price
begins to go down he wants to sell,
and usually gets a lower price than
he might have obtained" Unfor-
'tunately there is too much OF truth
in this statement. The dealer in
question ted several instances in
support Of his statement. Every
seller wishes to get all possible for his
wares. This is natural and right,
but it isn't always easy to tell just
when the right point has been
reached. 1t is generally better to
sell on a rising than on a falling
market When an unusual higl fig
ure has been attained, 1T isn't reason
able to suppose that that price will
be long sustained. Rural New

AS surely as any known effect follows q
cause, just so surely will disease of the kid
neys succeed their inactivity, if that inaction
be not promptly remedied. Come to the res
cue with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
gives healthful impulse to the action of
both the kidneys and the bladder, without
exciting them, like an unmedicated stimu-
liant. Rendered active by this genial diuret-
ic and tonic, they perform their functions
thoroughly and regularly, removing from the
system impurities which beget rheumatism,
dropsy, gravel Bright's disease, diabetes and
catarrh of the bladder. The contraction of
either one of these formidable maladies is
the penalty exacted by nature for indiffer-
ence to that plain warning sluggish action
of the kidneys. When this exists, not "a mo-
ment should be lost in the use of the remedy
indicated. Bear in mind that the Bitters will
relieve with equal prOmptitude disorders of
the stomach, liver, bowels and nervous sys-
TEN, and cure or prevent malarial complaints.

Clean cultivation Of small Fruits.

Strawberries, raspberries, and other
small fruit plants require frequent

GooseherrIes and Currants.

Gooseberries and currants do best
when planted on a north or east slope,
Too much sun is not good for them.
But both gooseberries and currants
must have good culture and the
worms must be killed as soon as they
are Matched. They hatch out on the
lower leaves about blooming time, or
a little later The grower must keep
his eye peeled, for it only takes these
pests about two days to strip OF every
leaf, and that means no crop. There
are several broods of them in a season.
The first coming before the fruit is
formed may be killed with paris
green; later broods with hellebore.
The successful growth of any of these
fruits for market demands constant
care and attention, and also knowl-
edge and skill.

Work for Rainy Days.

1t is go often necessary to work over
hours in pleasant weather that when
rainy day comes in summer the
farmer may protitably devote 1t partly
to intellectual improvement. He can
at least then take time TO estimate
carefully what needs to be done and
plan as TO the best way of doing it.
This will require study and prove the
best possible intellectual exercise. 1t
at least requires as much executive
ability to keep everything on a large
farm in order and working smoothly
as it does to manage a manufactur-
ing or commercial business.

The fact that stable manure con-
tains too much nitrogen and too little
potash and phosphate makes it I'M
suitable for manurlng the small
grains. To furnish the mineral ele-
ments that grain crops require an
overdose Of manure must be given,
and this makes an excessive growth
ofstraw. If the stable manure is
applied to corn and potato crops the
crops Of oats, barley, or wheat grown
the second or third years will need

Cause Of Sour sllage.

One Of the principal causes of sour
silage is cutting corn too green. Dr.
Miles tell us that sour silage may
often be caused by too rapid filling,
excluding the air, so that the temper
allure is not allowed to rise high
enough to kill the bacteria causing
the fermentation. Gases are cited
where slow filing and loose packing
have resulted in excellent sweet sill
age. 1t is probable, however, that
the maturity Of the corn has more to
do with its acid condition than the
manner of filling.

Consulting the Markets.

* inject a demand for special pro-
ducts one must know what the de-
mand is, writes correspondent Of
an agricultural journal. The special
requirements of a market may be
nothing better than a mere within or
caprice, but they must be met II a
ready sale is expected. If the market
requires brown.shelled eggs it is folly
to offer those with white shells. The
latter may he just as good as the for
mer, but so long as the former have
the call they are the ones to be fur
nlshed. Or If the market requires
yellow legs and yellow skin on dressed
poultry, it Is unwise to offer poultry
with white skin and dark or white
legs 1t is true that people do not
eat the shanks Of fowls, and some Of
the best table fowls in the world
have white, or dark shanks and a
white skin, but so long as the fancy
Of the buyer demands the yellow
color, that is the color to supply.
One cannot afford to spend his time
educating people out Of their whim-
steal notions if he expects to make
money out Of his trade. So long as
no principle is sacrificed, so long as
their notions can harm no one, not
even themselves the poultry raiser
is not bound to sacrice his profits in
attempting to remove the prejudices
OF his customers He is raising fowls
for business, not for fun, and must
adopt business methods, always re-
membering there is some good reason
for the public taste and fashion.
