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; efectually 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
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Paving a Kings Doctor. 1910.

The first notice we find of royal pay
ments to physician was when Nicho-
las de Fernehan was called to the court
of Henry III. at salary, until he be-
came bishop of Durham. In the ac-
counts for the royal household, which
date from the thirty-third year of
Henry VI, and continue during the
reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII,
we find no regular allowance was made
to the royal physicians-they were
given a reward" i. e., honorarium;
the royal apothecaries, however, were
paid as in the form of a legal demand.

which they pass the winter. They
cease to feed about the middle of Sep
TENDER and do not begin again until
about the middle of April, having
passed the winter attached to the
twigs of the tree. After feeding awhile
they make second and larger case,
shaped like a diminutive cigar, and
from which they can stretch forth the
forward part of the body and, eating
a circular hole large enough to admit
the body, commence to eat out the SUBJ
stance of the leaves, leaving the lower
and upper skins intact 1t still retains
its cigar-shaped home and retires into
it when at rest or disturbed In June
they cease to feed, fasten themselves
to the leaf and in short time enter
the chrysalis stage, from which the
moths issue.
These cigar-like objects can be seen
moving over the leaf of a plant, al
though scarcely more than one-ffth of
an inch in length, and when disturbed
the little creatures retreat into them.

of apple, pear or plum trees. Two or
three have often been seen on a single
bud busily at work eating holes in
them no larger than a pin. The work
on the expanded foliage is seen in slel-
etonized dead areas, which have near
their center a clear cut round hole
through one skin, usually on the
under side of the leaf. The caterpil
lars also often attack the growing fruit.
The Cornell station says that the in
sect can probably be kept in check by
two or three thorough sprayings with
paris green, if used at the rate of one
pound to two hundred gallons of water.
The first application which may be eff
fectively combined with the Bordeaux
mixture for the apple scab fungus,
should be made as soon as the little
cases are seen on the opening buds. A
second and perhaps third application
may be necessary at intervals of from
four to seven days on badly infested
trees. These sprayings will also check
the bud moth. 1t has also been found
in Canada that a kerosene emulsion
spray applied at the same time as di-
rected for paris green is still more
effective check upon the case-bearer,
and will probably be SO on TIE bud
moth. In pear orchards this insect
and the psylla can be checked by a
spray of the same emulsion when the
leaves are opening. 1t should be rs
membered that fruit tree ought
never to be sprayed when in blossom,
and that success in any case will de-
pend almost entirely upon the thor
oughness with which the work is done

WOMEN AND GOOD ROADS.


England Girls.
Ten wears ago no one dreamed that
the time would ever come when women
would be directly interested concern
ing the condition of the public
thoroughfares. But the bicycle which
is responsible for such a general stir
ring up of old conclusions has really
set them to thinking on this very topic
And when a woman thinks she's very
likely to act. Just one weak little
womans momentary impulse will often
result in more real purpose being ac-
complished, than will three days con-
vention of wise old professors whose
excessive prudence is d positive prohi-
bition to progress.
1t is said that twenty pretty bicycle
girls of East Lynn, disguised by the
disgraceful condition of the public
roads in those parts, determined to in
stitute a radical reform. They turned
out in full force with picks, shovels
and rollers, and repaired the worst of
the road. When the bloomered beauties
finished their weeks work they pointed
with pride to several miles of road
which they had made fit for wheeling
In Cincinnati recently one hundred
women armed with brooms, hoes,
wheelbarrows and shovels began early
one morning to clean the streets
From early in the morning until sun
Set the women toiled and one of the
principal streets of the city was
cleaned as bright as new dish pan.
Whenever a STRENGTHENING official
came along that way he was loudly
Kissed. 1t was an object lesson which
it would seem can hardly fail to have
its effect.
If the women of this broad land seri-
ously take up the matter of good roads
and clean streets something definite
and immediate will be the result, be-
cause woman is a determined creature
and IF she will, she will; and there s
an end ont. food Roads

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

THE skin of the banana makes a
beautiful fiber from which fine cloth
may be manufactured and the juice of
the banana makes good vinegar.
How MANY bushels per acre will
black berries yield, we are asked. They
can be made to yield 100 bushels under
favorable circumstances, as we recent
ly stated.
The fruit growing possibilities of this
country are immense, and it may al
most be said that no section has yet
fully reached its limit of fruit growing
possibilities.
PEOPLE sometimes write us that
spraying for apple scab has not been
effective, and in some instances we
have ascertained, upon investigation,
that the spraying was not thorough
enough. The tree should be thorough
ly drenched with the Bordeaux mix

duce nearly Sl,75O,O0O each week
OF these draught animals more
than l6,500,000 are horses and

more than 100000, 900. Now, It costs
to feed them on an average, one year
with another, about $4,000, 600 a day,
but what is of greater interest, is the
estimate that bad roads cost the farm
ers SIS year for each horse and mule
in his service. Taking this estimate
as a basis it Will be seen that the farm
ers pay each year for bad roads SPAS
1872, AGO. That is, if Prof. Latt's, of Per
due university, estimated cost of recon-
structing bad roads over into good ones
is to be taken as basis, the bad roads
of the country cost the farmers enough
each year to build PIG, SOD miles of good
roads. If built in a straight line that
number of miles of road would encir-
Gle the world nearly nine times, and
would cross and recross the United
States about fifty times. Bicyclists
must have good roads if they would
have the full enjoyment of their
wheels, the horseless carriages must
have good roads, and over and above
all the farmer more than either must
have good roads; therefore if these
elements would unite as one insistent
and intelligent whole for good roads,
no state legislature would dare to ig-
more so universal a request.-Grand

The Demand for Good Roads Is No
Longer a Mere Fad.
Good roads, good country roads, are
becoming more and more a necessity of
the day and age The advent of the
bicycle has created demand for good
roads among a class which before it's
advent had little care for country
roads. The probable early advent of
horseless carriages viii tend to empha-
size that demand and will add to the
fast growing good-roads army. To the
farmer good roads ever have been a
necessity, which, alas, he has had in
too many instances to get along with
cut. In 1898 the agricultural depart
ment of the federal government made
an investigation into the road question.
The object of that investigation was to
secure some reliable information con-
corning the cost of motive power to
farmers and how affected by country
roads The first thing learned was
that there were on United States
farms 53,393,ssS draught animals,
of which 14,213,S37 were horses,
2,33l,627 mules and Sc, $40, 021 oxen,

The DUCK FARMS OF CHINA.
Some Queer Sights on the Rivers of 500
Chow.

Some Queer Sights the Rivers of 500
Chow.
We expected to see something won
derfully fine when we reached 500
chow; for does not the ancient proverb
read: 'Above are the halls of Heaven:
below are Soo-chow and Hang-chow?"
But we only saw what afterward
seemed to us a typical Chinese city,
and it is not to the cities that | would
especially recommend sight-seers to
go. The fame and splendor of Chi
nese city lie not upon its being any
cleaner than others, or upon its having
of its merchants, the number of its pa
godas, the gorgeousness of its temples,
the beauty of its tea gardens, and the
like. Thus Soo-chow is great, and its
women are called the bellies of the
world. There the floating duck farms
and the multitudes of river craft in
terested us most. In a quiet reach of
water beside the walls we saw many
flocks of ducks, each containing five
hundred to a thousand birds. The
shores were covered and the water was
alive with them. The herders sat idly
in small boats, while the ducks swan
freely about, each flock making a
tremendous brown spot upon the
water. We watched to see one flock
would separate them afterward, but
they did not join forces, and l doubt
whether they ever would. The brakes
led their followers away whenever two
herds came too near. On another day,
near Soo-chow, we saw a duck farm
bigger than all these put together
What would the reader think of see
ing farmer travelling to market with
as many ducks as could be crowded
into more than the space of the park
between the city hall and the post
Office in New York City-a mass of per-
haps two city blocks of duck flesh and
feathers? That was what was driven
past us on the Grand canal one day.
Two men in two boats were driving the
| ducks before them, all as thick upon
the water as they could swim. Each
man carried long slender bamboo
rod with the heart of palm leaf on
the end of it. With this he kept the
red and gray squawking mass in order.
He whipped back into its place every
duck that sagged out of the mass, OF
that Jagged behind, or showed dispo-
sition to make for the shore. Suddenly
several boats came along in the oppo.
site direction-a big chop boat and two
or three smaller vessels They were
sailing swiftly before fresh breeze
directly down upon the acre or two Of
ducks. There seemed no way to pre-
vent a terrible slaughter of poultry.
The big chop boat, like house blown
before the gale, sped toward the ad
vancing feathered host, and at last the
birds that were in the way were almost
under her bows. Then a futter seized
many square yards of ducks, the i'm
mense flock broke apart, a crack in il
opened before the chop boat and
widened until the boat swept through
canal that divided the flock. Not
one duck was run over.-Julian Ralph
in Harper's Magazine.

Butter Fats from Whey.

A new source of butter has been dis
covered by the Cornell college of agri-
culture. 1t is found in the whey, a
waste product in cheese making, which
has heretofore been only fed to hogs,
and not thought very good food for
them. The discovery is a method by
which the butter fats, always present
in the whey, can be separated and
used in making butter. The separa-
tor machine is used. The saving
will be sufficient in large cheese fac
tory to pay for separator in short
time. 1t means a saving to New York
dairymen of fully S1,o0O,OOO worth Of
butter per year. The butter made by
this process is said to be Of excellent
quality.

CiGAR-CASE BEARER.



A comparatively new pest of fruit
trees is the insect called the cigar-case
bearer, which last year probably
ranked next to the bud-moth in New
York in destructiveness. Owing to its
small size and peculiar habits, the in
sect in any stage will be rarely noticed
by fruit-grower, and yet the second
one of the curious suits or cases which
the little caterpillar wears is conspicu
GUS enough to reveal its presence to the
casual observer. 1t appears as a moth
from about the middle of June until
about the middle of July, and lays its
eggs on the leaves of fruit trees. After
a couple of weeks these hatch to mi
mute caterpillars, which at once eat
through the skin of the leaf and mine
in the tissue, leaving a tiny trans
parent line behind them. After a
couple of weeks or more they cut small
bits out of the leaves and roll them
into minute tubes or cases within

The extent to which the value OF
wide tires has come to be recognized is
shown by the fact that during the last
twelve months the legislature of near
" every state has been asked to pass a
bill providing for their compulsory
adoption. The state of New Jersey
has already adopted law of this kind,
and it is reaping the benefit in the pos
session of the best roads in the coun-
try. With wide tires in use even the
present country roads will improve,
for tires serve as rollers to make the
road-bed compact instead of cutting
deep ruts as do heavily loaded wagons
on narrow tires.

A big bear killed recently in the Dead
Indian country, Oregon, was found to
be carrying an odd memento of a pre-
vions episode with hunters, in which
he came off victorious, though not I'M
scathed. In the stihe joint of one of
his hind legs was an unusually large
tusk of a dog which the hunters said
must have belonged to big bear dog.
The tuslI was well overgrown with
skin, and apparently had been in the
bears leg many years.

Climbing the Grand Canyon of the Vel
lOwstODe,


The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
is from 700 to 1900 feet deep. A general
average is perhaps 1000 feet. At many
points the walls are absolutely vertical
and are embeilished with gigantic Fittings
and pinnacles. Architectural forms of
great variety are seen. These combine
with the vivid coloring to form scene Of
beauty and grandeur.
lnterspersed among the vertical declivi-
ties are smooth slopes, set at various
angles. Many of these can be climbed,
some with much difficulty, others with
moderate exertion. Care must be exer-
cised as regards footing, but for good mus
cular exercise and lung development the
feat is worth trying.
To stand in the bottom of this huge
trench and gaze upward at the Philistinic
walls, touched with beauty by the hands of
God; to watch the emerald stream rushing
through its narrow prison in foamy rapids
and vertical leaps; to see the flashing of the
sunlight athwart the walls, are well worth
the effort required to climb them.
There is no danger in the attempt if
care is exercised. The climb into and out
of this wonderful place where naught of
life is seen, save the circling eagles far
overhead, is aprofound experience.
If you send six cents to CHAs. S. FEE,
General Passenger Agent, Northern Pacific
Railroad, ST. Paul, MINI, he will send a
finely illustrated book telling about Vel
lowstone Park and climb into the Canyon.
