4 nstitutional Disease ReQuir1ng
= Constitutional Remedy
Catarrh In the head consists Of In
SUMMATION Of the mucous membrane In
the -esal passages. and sometimes It
extents "a the air cavities which cover
= consioerapi. portion Of the face. Ca
tarrn IN tne nean frequently destroys
the senses Of taste ana euell. and It's
tendency Is always debilitafing. The
best authorities say catarrh Is just ~
surely q constitutional disease a. Is
scrofula. 1t Is caused and. promoted by
impure blood. The teaching of expert
ence proves that the true way to cure
catarrh Is to purify the blood. The one
true blood purifier Is Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Thousands Of such statements
have been written by honest, straight
forward men and women; they have
been published year after year; and
their genuineness Is beyond any posi-
BILE question. ~
II you hre suffering from catarrh, do
not daily with snuffs, inhalants and
useless local applications. Take the d.
rect road to health. Cleanse the stream
at the fountain head. Purify your blood
with the one true blood purifier, Hoods
lSarsaparilla. In short time you will
be convinced of the wisdom Of this
course. Hoods Sarsapariua will give
you an appetite, tone and strengthen
your stomach, make rich, red blood and
remove all the disagreeable symptoms
of catarrh by permanently Graduating
the causes which produce them.

Let Home Stand First.

Let home stand first. No matter how
high your ambition, no matter how far
your talents or your influence may
reach, before everything else build up
a true home! Be not its slave; be its
minister. Let 1t not be enough that 1t
is swept and garnished, that it's silver
Is brilliant, that its food is delicious,
but feed the love in 1t. Then from its
walls shall come forth the true woman
and the true man. What honor can be
greater than to find such home? What
dignity higher than to reign its honored
mistress? What is the ability to speak
from public platform, or the wisdom
that can command a seat on the judges
bench, compared to that which can in
sure and preside over true home? To
be the guiding star, the ruling spirit In
such a home Is higher than to rule an
empire.

stitches from five successive chain
stitches, putting the needle through,

It through, pulling each stitch very
loose and keeping all on the needle I'M

wool around, draw 1t through; again
pull the stitch loose and take up Ave
more as before, two on the shell just
formed and three on the chain stitches.
Continue In this way until you have
gone across, which will give you the

under baby's dimpled chin. Crochet
on this In the same stitch. extending a
third OF the way across the strip and
exactly In the middle, a piece to form
the crown and sew to the sides with a
needle. This forms the whole crown
OF the hood. Crochet a row of open
bars all around wide enough to run in
an inch ribbon and finish with little
frill OF three rows of shells to turn
back and form ruche around the face
as well as a cape at the back of the
neck. For babies use white German
town wool, and for children of larger
growth, red.-Country Gentleman.

Crushing.

The comment made on Lord Beacons-
field upon the occasion Of his maiden
speech in the House of Commons, that
he went up like a rocket and came
down like a>stick," was not more scath-
ing than one recently applied to a rath-
er conceited young Ir1snman, reported
In the Westminster Gazette:
In certain Irish college the student
at his oral examinations has to give his
answers from a pulpit, before the board
Of examiners. Once a student, who had
no mean opinion of his attainments,
assembled the pulpit with a self-satisfied
and hopeful air.
The examiner, determined to lower
him a little, piled him with a series Of
difficult interrogations. Hardly q sin
gle correct answer was given, and when
his time had expired the student de-
scended and returned to his place great
ly crestfallen and Inundated.
"Now," said the victorious examiner
when he caught the eye of his victim
again, IF you had gone up as you came
down, you would have come down as
you went upw

Extent of Tree Roofs

1t Is commonly said that the roots of
trees extend each way as far as their
branches. But this is very uncer-
tain and unreliable rule. There are
trees like the chestnut and pines, which
grow in sandy soil, which send their
roots far down into the subsoj:, and
have so few roots near the surface that
the pillow can be run up nearly to them.
The elm, which grows best on low,
wet land, has most of its roots near
the surface. But it can send roots
down to depth of a thrce-foor tile
Grain, as we once learned to our cost,
n large elm near the upper end OF q
newly-laid tile drain completely filling
1t after two or three years, so that the
tile had all to be taken up. The tree
WAS cut down and new tile laid, with
the result that the drain suffered no
further obstruction.

Improving a Pasture Spring.
The ordinary pasture spring is likely
to be mudhole, furnishing water total
ly unfit for the use of cattle, especially
mich cows, says the American Agricul-
turist. A plan Is shown In the sketch
for keeping pasture spring pure, for
by Its use neither droppings nor the
feet of cattle can get into the spring.
The front Of the spring is laid up with
rough stones and cement, an iron pipe
with an elbow being laid under the
stones, the elbow coming up inside as
high as the water is to stand when the
work Is completed. The pipe Is carried
away from the spring a sufficient dis
lance to secure dry footing around the
watering place. 1t may be found neces-
sary to line the sides and back of the

PracticaI Farm Writers.


1t Is to be regretted that many of our
fitted to do their brethren good through
the farm papers are so backward about
putting their pens to paper We know
many men whose long experience and
careful, intelligent observation have
made their judgment on certain mat
tiers Of great interest and value; yet
they could not be induced to write an
article for the paper, says National
Stockman. And we know others who
have no farms, never had, and never
will have unless as gift, who are will
ing and think they are able to instruct
practical farmers through the press
at so much per line or per column.
Every farm paper has too many Zone
Is too many of the latter, and too few
of the former on it's list of contributors.
The obstacles In the way of the av-
erage practical man who thinks of writ
ing for the paper are more imaginary
than real. He is apt to distrust his
ability to say things just right, or to
spell just right; or he is likely to con-
slider that 1T is too great an undertake
ing for him. This is a mistake. There
is no danger that the man who knows
what he is talking about will make any
serious blunders when he writes. If he
can tell thing to his neighbor across
the fence, he can tell it to a man across
the continent. All that is necessary is
to write plain, simple account. Never
mind about the spelling. Don't let the
punctuation scare you out. The editor
can attend to these. Have something
to say, and say it as simply, clearly and
briefly as possible. This is the sum to-
tai of q good article.

The Pig Pen.

Keep size and growth foremost in
your calculations-all you can get with
good quality.
Have separate sleeping and living
department in your pig house. and have
the bed higher IL possible than the floor.
When you start in to fatten hogs don't
cram the corn into them all at once-all
they will eat-but begin small and grad
ually increase the quantity.
American breeders have developed
hog breeding wonderfully. The science
OF breeding and feeding has given us
model hog, that natures in eight
months, and converts our cheap grain
crops into the best pork in the world.
Worms are not infrequently the cause
of losses, preventing hogs from making
the gains they otherwise would. II CIV
en- free access to salt and ashes mt all
times, they will have but little trouble
from this source. Charcoal is a correc-
tive for the digestive organs.
More roots, grass and green food and
less corn In growing our pigs will de-
velop more vigor and produce better
meat. Every farm should produce tur-
nips, carrots, parsnips, potatoes and
beets for the stock, and give the pigs
n good supply In winter and early fall
along with the corn.

Mushroom SaIad

A mushroom salad is thought to be a
great treat by many, and Il particularly
nice to serve with cold game. Cut the
mushrooms into small pieces and cook
them in a little olive oil, letting them
simmer fifteen minutes. Add some
lemon juice, and stand them on one side
until cold. Place the cold mushrooms
in a salad bowl, and season with salt
and pepper, some chopped parsley and
a suspicion Of onion juice. Cover the
whole with mayonnaise dressing. and
1t is ready to serve.

The Winesan Annie.

The winesap Is one of the most profit
able and popular winter apples. 1t is
an early and prolific bearer, and owing
to Its late blooming and timely matur-
ing of its fruit, it is seldom that the
fruit is killed by late frosts in the spring
or injured by early freezing in the fall.
The apple Is of medium size of beauti-
full dark red color, and has rich.
juicy, sub-acid, crispy flesh, and deli
ciously favored. And, though it is
somewhat inclined to drop off Mt ma,

Farmers Feed Boston's Poor.

The benevolent generosity Of the
farmers enables the kind people Of
Boston to make a free distribution OF
fruit among that portion Of the city
population who would otherwise be de-
MED even a taste Of 1t during the sea-
son Of ripening. The farmers as a
class are not privileged to bestow their
gifts in money, but when they bring
forward their offerings 1t Is done in
good measure and with a contagious
heartiness. The poor people of the
North and South Ends and in the city
outskirts have reason to return their
gladdest thanks both to the farmers and
those who interested themselves In
their substantial pleasure. Acts Of this
character perform a truer service In
bringing about the conditions Of social
fraternity than the repetition of any
number Of precepts, without the sup
port Of practical illustrations.-Bosto

Bcets Grown from Buds.

Every one who has handled mature
bects knows that near the crown are
small knots with leaf attached. These
are buds, which, IL the beet is planted
IN the spring, will bear branches and
produce abundant seed. But IL de-
tached from the root, these buds will
each grow into beet, and quicker
thar the same beet can be grown from
seed. This, however, is no very i'm
pcrtant advantage, as on large scale
early beets can be cheaper grown In a
corner of the greenhouse. The gain is
mainly in keeping the variety true to
itself, when strain of sugar beets
containing more saccharine matter has
been produced. The budded beet con-
tinues the same characteristics, Just as
tue potato grown from buds does. But
tie beet from seed reproduces itself
very nearly, and there is by growing
from seed a constant chance to increase
its sweetness.

During the winted of 1901 pork went
begging for buyers, and pigs of 80 to
90 pounds glutted the market. Two
years later pork rose up to the highest
point In the live stock market Why?
Because the corn cribs of the West
were empty. VIII they always remain
full. now, and hereafter? If you have
good pigs. keep them well. If you do
not have good ones, get some while
they are cheap and breed better ones.
Take care of your skim milk and but
termilk and whey, as IL 1t were worth
30 cents hundred pounds. Feed it to
the best advantage, and get the pig up
to 100 pounds In prime condition. The
market wants him, is crying for him,
at prices little over the cost of pro-
duction. Sell the corn ut % cents a
bushel In his carcass, and save the
manure to pay for labor and make the
old farm smile. And, above all, don't
be sold out these days, when the craze
for lean pigs is on deck. Keep a full
supply to replace those that are gone,
so that not pound OF by-product will
go to waste, and lay your plans for
winter and spring breeding.
