INTELLIGENT EFFORT.


Upon It Depends the Success Of Every
Farmer In America.
A farmers success surely depends
upon effort, but In reckoning the value
Of his effort, the quality is Of greater
Importance than the other amount.
A little intelligent effort goes much
farther than great deal Of misdirected
effort. There are here and there rugged
sons Of toll who, having wrested wealth
from the forest and field by the might
Of their brawny arms, are inclined to
belittle other methods than those which
they employed, and to .pooh-pooh at
what they call "new-fangled notions"
but times and conditions change, and
we must change with them. The law
yer, the doctor, the preacher, the me
chanic in every line, II he would
achieve the greatest success, studies
constantly and never fails To adopt
every good new thing he finds; would
the farmer belittle his vocation by say
ing IT is so purely the work of drudgery
that there can be no improvement?
not; in hardly any other oc-
cupation Of man is there such a broad
field for the application Of scientific
such great opportunities
for constant and important improve
ments. and it Is upon his ability to
make these Improvements his own,
that the farmers success depends

HOW TO BRACE A FENCE.
eight feet long, four feet in the ground.
About six inches from the end that
goes into the ground, cut two notches,
two by four inches, on opposite sides Of
the post; spike into these notches two
two by four pieces, about six or seven
feet long, and let about six inches pro-
ject past on one side, the remainder on
the other side. Dig the hole four feet
deep, and long enough (parallel with
the fence) to admit Of the scantling,
with the long ends Of the scantings from
the fence. Get large bowlder, the
larger the better. and place on these
scantlings, fill up with dirt, and lamp
well. I also put in brace parallel from
the first to the second post,

designates the scantling, b the bowlder,

How to Prevent Group.

Some reading that will prove IN
teresting to young mothers. How 10
guard against the disease.
Group is terror to young mothers
and to post them concerning the cause
first symptoms and treatment is the me
object Of this item. The origin OF
Group is common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very
easily and Group is almost sure 10
follow. The first symptom is hoarse-
ness: this is soon followed by pecul-
lar rough cough. which is easily
recognized and will never be forgotten
by one who has heard it. The time
to act is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear. Even
after the croupy cough has developed
it will prevent the attack. There IS
no danger in giving this remedy lor
it contains nothing injurious for
sale by all druggists.

xssp the strsw on tho Farm.

A travelling man recently stated in our
presence that he once heard farmer
say he would as soon think OF selling
the corner stone Of his barn as to sell a
load Of straw. The corner stone OF the
barn supports the barn; the straw Is
the supporter Of the fertility OF the
farm, from which arises the force OF
comparison. In the part Of the state
where the man heard this, he failed 10

into large barns and carefully pre-
served. The same farmer justly re-
marked that a cold bed OF ice was not

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

To very considerable extent people
make for themselves the conditions OF
life.
Even with the most carefully pre-
pared food the greater portion digested
goes to supply heat and energy.
Because poor sheep have light fieeces
Is not proof that fat sheep have heavy
ones.
Good stock, crops, fertility and in
dustry are essential items in good
farming. "
When animals are allowed TO run
down there Is q weakening Of vitality,
and especially OF the digestive organs.
As an animal grows fat II consumes
less in proportion to size, digests less
that Is consumed and gives less re-
turn.
Combining any farm animal in dark
quarters Is injurious to 1t and, there
fore, more or less damaging TO the
owner.
One Of the reasons why many fail to
make farming as profitable as they
might is because Of lack Of attention
to details.
In nearly all cases 1t Is unwise to
discard all OF the old sows at one time
and supply their places with young
untried ones.
The COW which will proftably con-
vert the largest amount Of food into
rich milk or cream Is the most profit
able to keep.-Farmers Union.

-"By hook or crook" recalls the days
when the poor of the English country
districts were allowed to go into the
forests and pick up such branches as
had fallen from the tree. AS hook at
the end of a short stick was frequently

as the straight branches must be left
for the landlord, the expression. "by

hours Thursday morning. 1t was one
of the hardest struggles the depart

subdued. Three stores were burned
out, two being occupied by the cloth
ing house and the other by William

will probably exceed 100000

the fire in the clothing store was some

at the risk of their lives. Four mem
bers OF Engine company No. were
overcome and rendered insensible. but
were taken out by their comrades in
time to save their lives. though two
of them were almost dead when car
ried from the building.
