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 i'll the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting

dspelling 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.

CLEANING WOODWORK.

II often happens that the woodwork
on doors, particularly near the
handles, will become quite dirty and
badly stained by the frequent running
back and forth of careless children.
In these cases it is sometimes found
impossible to remove the marks with
cold water or without the use Of soap,
however undesirable. If this OCCURS
throw two tablespoonful of pulverized
borax into a pail of hot water and
wash the paint with it. Do not use a
brush, but if found impossible to re-
move the marks in this way, then
soap must be resorted to. Rub the
soap on the cloth, and then sprinkle
over the soap dry borax and rub the
spots faithfully, rinsing with plenty Of
water. By washing woodwork in this
way the paint will not be injured, and
the borax will keep the hands soft and
white. Borax is not half as freely
used in domestic labor as it would be
if all it's usefulness were better known.
Its help in increasing the cleansing
properties of soap, and at the same
time correcting its corrosive tendency,
is one of its most valuable properties.

Some years ago-several hundred
thousand, perhaps-a brackish or
fresh water lake existed which ex-
tended for 800 miles along the east
ern flank of the Rocky Mountains, and
many strange monsters wandered up
and down it's shores.
Professor Marsh named one the Tri-
ceratops, which means that it wore
three horns on its face. It's skull was
enormous, measuring in an old indi.
vidual seven or eight feet in length,
was somewhat wedge-shaped, and the
back and sides of its neck were pro
tected by huge fanlike ruff or. pro
lection of bone, extending from thu
skull and forming part of it.
The brain was smaller in proper
ton to the size of the skull than il
any known animal. The mouth was {
kind of besk, like that of the turtle
and similarly sheathed in horn. it,
food was of the luxurious tropical veg
citation which fourished along th'
borders of the great lake.
The animal was about twenty-five
feet in length and eight or ten feet il
height, being considerably large
than the largest existing elephant. :

A writer in the Madagascar News
speaking Of tho spiders of that island
refers TO q largo Que that stretches
its web from bank to bank OF fair
sized streams. It forms the founda-
tion lines of its hugo web of beauti-
full golden-yellow silk, which is very
strong. He has taken some OF 1t and
twisting six or eight strands togeth-
or found it SO strong Icould not break
it." The same kind OF spider may be
met with in the open forest glades; its
web when perfect being u most won-
derful sight. The writer does not at
tempt to describe the spider, but it is
probably species of Nephila, agenus
of large. beautifully marked spiders,
which spin web in forests, composed
both of golden color and silver
threads. One American species oc-
ours throughout the Southern States.

Alaskan Indian Canoes.

In the Sitka district the canoes are
each cut from single log of wood.
The log is first dressed and followed
out, and then steamed and spread
open. Many of the canoes are models
of form. Great care is expended on
them, and if the maker were paid good
wages their prices would be fabulous.
A good new canoe able to carry three
men !and 100 pounds of baggage is
worth $3.50. An older canoe of the
same size may be procured for $40.
Some cost 5000 and up to 800. The
Indians have abandoned to great ex-
tent the old method of padding the
canoe, and they are furnished with
oars and sail. This is made possible
by having rigid body, unlike the
bark or skin canoes of other places. -

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Breed the kind of fowls you like
best.
Except in the seveyest weather let
the fowls out for exercise.
Where you find a superior breed o:
horses you find good pasture.
Wheat, cracked corn, peas, rice and
oatmeal make good feed for pigeons.
A goose can not be at its best unless
in clean quarters. What fowl or ami
NAL can?
Look to the mares as you wean the
colts that they do not become
ferverish.
Better late than never. Get up some
earth for dust-bath purposes before it
freezes up.
If beginning in the poultry business
be sure you get healthy stock or eggs
from healthy stock.
Give the ducks an airy coop even If
it is low, and give them an occasional
fresh bed of clean straw.
Tempt the appetite of the fowls you
have shut for fattening. Give them .
variety; vegetables, grease, corn.
Plaster or slaked lime sprinkled on
the poultry house floor when cleaned
will help in cleanliness and healthful-
ness.
A little chopped fresh meat or lit
tie oil meal mixed in the morning
feed will help through the moulting
season.
Heavy wire is the best material for
supporting Lima beans and other run
ming vines. A four-inch wire mess,
such as may be used for hen yards,
answers we'll for supports.
Where rats are plenty q rat.proof
hen.house is a necessity. To make
one sink twelve-inch boards their full
depth around it, and see that no trash
accumulates near or is piled against 1t.
If you are crowding poultry at fat
tening time clean out the troughs
each time after they have eaten. Feed
three times day if you wish but do
not keep food before them all the
while.
You have an idea that the poultry
business will run itself you are mis-
taken and if you 60 into it with that
mistaken idea You will find to your
sorrow that you should have paid at
tention to it.
Well-cured corn fodder is more fully
digested than timothy hay, and is
nutritious and palatable. It ia
roasted, however, ii left in the fields
to be exposed to rains, winds and
frosts during the winter.
Care should be used not to feed the
colt SO literally at weaning time o,
afterwards as to cloy the appetite. II
is better of the two to keep them Q
little short than to overfeed. They
should be fed often and should have
oil they will eat up clean.

It is not merely tho fact that million
men are said to DO out OF work with conse-
quent loss of time, place and money, that
makes the times seem so tough, but there
are other aggravations superadded. growing
out Of the williul neglect of so many, that
make tho times seem hard, indeed. If bet
ter times were at hnnd and good places open
to all that are now idle, there are thousands
who would betotally unfit to go to work by
reason OF the neglect OF some infirmity
which totally units them to accept a prof.
fered chance. What better opportunity
could there be to get their physical condi-
tion in good shape than the enforced idle
ness gives them? To do so is making profit
out of misfortune; not to do so is making
hardtimes so much harder. 1t is poor logic
to make anything bad grow worse, and it Is
no economy at all to save expense by sacri-
flcing health. man wants Drawn, muscle
and brain in as nearly perfect condition as
is possible, to gain victory in the battle OF
life. 1t is mostly from beginning in little
things that the greater ones accumulate and
finally overwhelm us. There Is hardly one
man who labors with his muscles, from tho
skilled mechanic down to those who work
with pick and shovel, but has soma bodily
ailment neglected. What costly triAlng it is,
looked at from results. For example tho
bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and mus
cles are all under constant strain from tho
nature and demands of their work. Aches
and pains must ensue. These, neglected.
soon reach the chronic stage of stitfened
limbs from contracted muscles. How many
old mechanics have bent backs and back
aches we know. This is simply a condition
of neglected lumbago, which had it been
treated in time could have been cured in ten
minutes by st. Jacobs Oil. This is also
ture OF all the minor aches and pains. SO
certain cure ought certainly to be in every
workingmans house to make hard times
lighter

BEDDING FOR FARM ANIMALS.

A great variety of bedding ma
terials are employed in different To-
calities, and each farmer will, of
course, select for his own use such of
these as are the cheapest and most
available, writes M. S. Perkins in the
American Agriculturist. In lumber.
ing districts, where saw-mills abound,
farmers find cheap bedding in the
sawdust and shavings that are pro-
duced in so large quantities. Saw
dust makes clean, tidy bedding, but
the impression is quite strong among
farmers that it's effect upon the soil is
not desirable. Certainly it decays
very slowly. The common beach sand
near the seashore possesses, when dry,
good absorbing power, and affords a
comfortable bed for stock. 1t is,
however, very heavy to handle. and
it's application, in the manure, to land
already too sandy, as is much of the
land bordering upon the seacoast, is
not good practice. Meadow and salt
hay, and the straw of our small grains,
supply excellent bedding, and by
their decay return large amount of
humus to the soil. Their use should
be supplemented by the employment
of some dry material, such as loam
dust, sifted coal ashes, or land plaster,
80 that all the gases and liquid manure
may be saved. 1t is simple matter
for every farmer to lay by supply of
dry absorbents By stirring the soil
frequently over small area, the earth
rapidly dries out, and becomes dust
under the heat of summers sun. All
that is left to do is to gather the dry
material and store it in o dry place.
Every autumn our shade and forest
trees shed their leaves, wealth of the
best of bedding, that, having alb
sorbed manurial substances, decay
into the best of manure.

MONEY IN APPLES.

The failure of the English apple
crop and the somewhat reduced sup
ply at home have sent prices up and
caused such an active demand for ap-
pies that the farmer has begun to re-
alize the possibilities of profit to be
obtained from his orchard. Indeed,
from present appearances it looks as if
the apple crop might be made the best
on the farm. But before this can
happen the farmer will have to go
through his orchard and cut down or
graft many of the trees now found
there. In setting out the orchard in
many cases very little judgment was
exercised in the choice of trees. Many
of the varlties are almost worthless as
market apples. There are too many
inferior seedlings, too many summer
and early fall varieties, and too many
kinds unsuited to the various locali-
ties. The early apples, which often
predominant, are perishable and al
most unmarketable. The fruit which
is in demand is the kind that possesses
keeping qualities.
1t will pay every farmer to find out
the varieties that are most desirable
in the home and foreign markets, and
that are suitable to his climate and
soil. He should then go in and i'm
prove his old orchard, regrafting those
trees which have sound, vigorous
stock but bear poor fruit, and remov-
ing those with decayed trunks. He
should also set out an orchard of
young trees.
But it will not do to stop here.
Most orchards are half starved. A
crop of apples is taken off, the trees
grow in size, limbs are removed, and
yet the soil of the orchard is not fed.
If we expect large returns we must
supply the necessary food, either by
cultivationssor by the application of
fertilizers.
If food is necessary for the produc-
tion Of apples, spraying is requisite
for their protection against insects
and fungous diseases, which have, un-
fortunately, become very common,
and thinning, by reducing the strain
caused by the production of seed, will
aid in the greater development of the
fruit. 1t cannot be too often repeated
that there is always surplus of COM
mon fruit, and scarcity of the best.
The profit comes from the first-class
article. This is only to be obtained
by proper thinning and spraying

RYE FOR GRAZING.

1t is the general practice to INV rye
broadcast for grazing, but experiments
at the Arkansas Station show that
when planted in drills and cut and fed
green it affords very much greater
quantity OF food in better condition,
and injury from cattle trampling the
soil in wet weather is avoided.
1t is best to have the seed in mar
row drill for two reasons-first, rye is
inclined to spread fiat upon the surface
of the soil in it's early stages of growth,
and second, when planted in mar
row drill it is much more easily cut
by hand, not only on account of its
more upright growth, but because it
can readily be grasped with one hand
and cut with the other, thus keeping
it free of trash, sand, etc.
