THE FARMERS FRIEND.
The Kansas City Store, Abilene,
Kansas,

The course pursued by this hous,
has caused great commotion in Ger
tain quarters; the piles upon piles o
stuff sold by them worries some folk
wonderfully. They even object tt
the displays made in front Of Tho
Of this house, saying they occupy
too much space, print too many
signs!
They even send the marshal tt
notify them to remove the boxes from
the pavement in front Of their doors,
and being law-abiding citizens they
cheerfully did SO. Notwithstanding
others seem to be allowed this
privilege, but there is one thing they
cannot do and that is prevent the
low prices they make from day to
day. Others own their goods and
are allowed time to sell them at theil
own prices regardless Of what Others
say or do. We understand there Is
talk of having the grand jury find q
true bill Of indictment against
this house for selling goods too cheap,
All right gentlemen, il you think
there is no hereafter, you do moi
seem to know the stuff these Kansas
City fellows are made Of The more
you make use Of such threats, the
more you kick and growl, the cheaper
they will sell, and the more they will
sell too.

CONCERNING SMlLAx.
A Florists Expert Hints on the Treatment
OF the Creeper.

"Smilax," said the florist" lis just as
fashionable for decorating purposes
now as it was ten years ago. Ii is one
of the few small-leaved creepers that we
have. and while it never attains the
luxuriance with Us that it does in rne
tropics its lack of rank growth gives it
just that deiicacy of appearance that
makes it 50 valuable and useful.
a peculiar thing about smilax Is that
Notwithstanding its hardness and free
growth it will not grow at all unless the
conditions are exactly right. Most
people Kill ii at the start by placing the
vine right in the sunniest window. As
a matter of fact smilax. like ferns, re-
quires a shady place, though | do not
mean by that a dark close corner.
Another peculiarly of the plant is that
while it requires plenty of air, it will die
i'm draught. In a word, when you try
to grow smilaX YOU must try TO repro
duce the natural conditions under which
it grows a. nearly a. possible, and those
are warmth moisture. and plenty OF
quiet air one of the best places for
your box OF >snilaX Is at the side OF a
sunny window.
"SmilaX will grow either from seeds
or bulbs out guess you will find the
best results. and YOU will no doubt get
speediest results. from bulbs. As soon
as the sprouts appear start network
of threads To the box and carry the
threads wherever YOU want the plant to
go-around the window, across the
window, or festooned among the pict-
ures. Don't give the roots any water
to speak of until the leaves appear, and
then, was going to say. you can hard
Is give them too much water.
"Another mistake that most people
make about smiIax is that of thinking
the plant Is dead because the leaves turn
yellow. That the end OF one life, but
not of the plants life. When the leaves
begin TO turn, water but very little, and
when the foliage is dead take up the
bulbs, pack them away where it is dry
and cool for couple of months or SO,
and then they II be rested out sufficient
" to begin raising another family OF
foliage. ~ l. sun.

The "Confirmed Invalid" Never Dies

Insurance companies are beginning
to find out what the rest of us have
known for long time-that few peo-
pie have better prospects of long life
than the confirmed invalid, who is just
sick enough to take care of himself. He
chooses the most wholesome places TO
live in he eats strictly to live. instead
of following the universal but danger
Gus practice of eating for the fun of it;
he avoids over-exertion as scrupulously
as a tramp and humane friends and re-
latons protect him from the wearing
cares responsible for many a premature
death.
Under this system he may not get as
much out of life as more robust people;
but his chances of leaving it are con-
siderably less. Yet git-edged risks
like this have for years been turned
away from insurance offices while
reckless men and women who have
never found out that they had vital or
gans to take care of get insurance at
the lowest possible rates.
An insurance syndicate which would
advertise to take life risks refused 10y
ordinary companies would not only
achieve instantaneous fame but would
get richer every year on the premiums
OF its long-lived patrons. -hate Ftelqs
