point we had seen the body of cavalry on
the east side of the river marching 1 do
not know why the soldiers who made the
attack at the upper end Of the village ran
away, for they ran while the warriors were
also running, and no doubt would have
continued to run had they not seen the
soldiers running the other way. There
must have been some mysterious power
from on high which turned the tide of
battle and delivered the soldiers up to
Death. Some say that the leader of the
attacking party was a coward. I don't
know, but / think. it was the power of the
great mystery helping the Indians all that
day. for when reached the battle ground

were all lying there dead. Something mys-

WHY 1T WAS HOT.

growled. Anything you've got to eat is
clustering hot, while coffee is always stone
cold.
after awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
" Great Scott, he said, 'whats got into
that hash?'
81 told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but he wasn't satisfied.
well, we kept on eating hash until we
had enough. And do you know that hash
left in the dish was hotter than it was at
the start?

Sometimes the most careful women are
the most careless Many a woman bundles
herself up, to keep out sickness she
is neglecting the very worst sickness that
can come to woman. She allows a slight
disorder to become worse to slowly sap
her vitality. The little pain and the other
slight indications Of trouble seem to her
unimportant. She goes on, with increas-
ing suffering, until life itself becomes a
drag. Nervousness, 'sinking spells,'' di-
gestive disturbances, and fifty other com
plicatiOns may arise from the arrangement
OF the organs distinctly feminine. Over
thirty years ago, the need for reliable
remedy for so-called "female complaints
was recognized by DR.. X. V. Pierce, then,
as now, chief consulting physician to the
Worlds Dispensary and Invaids' Hotel at
Buffalo, \. Y. He prepared DR.. Pierce S
Favorite Prescription, the most wonderfully
effective remedy that has ever been used
for maladies.

Cows are often left in the field far too
long in the fall and sent out correspond
ingly too early in the spring. The dairy is
far too often changed from heavy ration
of hay and grain to one of watery, tlashy
grass, and bad results always follows. Cows
cannot profitably stand sudden and severe
changes. Cows often get hungry in the
summer, and this is proven by the way
they will consume a manger of grass or
some soiling crop placed before them.
Summer grass gets woody, and bran and
proteins can he fed with advantage in the
summer after the flush Of the finer feed is

The common field pea is very largely
grown in Canada, partly because that coun-
try is in some parts too far north to grow
corn prolitably. Another reason is that the
pea in Canada is exempt from the attacks
of the pea weevil 1t is found that by
securing Canada peas for seed, crops of peas
may be grown on our side of the line free
from bugs, if in place where no peas have
lately been grown. The pea is really a
better food for growing hogs than any other
grain, and as while growing the pea roots
increase heterogeneous fertility in the soil,
the crop may be proftahly grown. 1t is
the best ialow crop to precede either winter
wheat or rye.

One of the best kinds of grating wax for
general use is made of four parts resin, two
parts beeswax and one part tallow. Melt
together, pour into pail of water, and
pull like molasses candy. Almost any wax
will melt in the sun in the hottest summer
days, and should be covered with cloth or
paper. If you want harder wax than
this add one part more resin. You can try
this wax by hot stove and find out its
melting point.

1t is estimated that steer will produce
in three years manure valued at 800 This
sum is one which belongs to the profit, as
the manure is as valuable as the cash re-
ceived for the animal, it being on the farm
and ready for the next years crops.

In testing new varieties Of potatoes use
only enough for small plot, and stick to
the old tried and true kind until you are
sure the newer varieties are better. The
reason is that superior varieties in one sec
ton may not fulfill expectations in another
and should the grower abandon known
variety he may lose in yield of crop.

1t is claimed that ten inches of surface
soil covering one acre contains 5000 pounds
OF nitrogen, 1000 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 10000 pounds of potash. Much of this
is not available for plants, but rains air,
and warmth bring portions into a condi-
tion for the use of crops every year.

Be careful OF the seed used. Poor seed
is worse than none, as it delays crops by
causing the farmer to lose time while wait
ing for it to germipate. Many inferior
crops are caused by the seed being old or
otherwise worthless. 1t is also well to see
that all seeds are free from those of other
plants, as farm may be stocked with
weeds through the seeds bought Glover
seed is source through which many unde-
sirable weeds come.

In nearly all sections hog cholera has
prevailed, but while the disease may exist
on one farm it does not necessarily spread
to the ones adjoining 1t is possible that
rats, dogs, flies, etc, may carry it from one
farm to another hence it is important that
there be no harboring places for rats and
the pens should be kept as clean as possible,
so as not to attract flies. Every hog that
is sick is believed to have hog cholera, but
the disease does not usually occur unless
brought among the animals in some
manner.

Concerning growing peaches in the gar
den, American Gardening says: 'The pos
sibilities of well-caredf for trees in the home
garden are scarcely imagined. If one build
small chicken yard about newly-set
tree he may have the tree in bearing next
year, and with head equal to that of the
ordinary tree set twice as long. The
chance seeding in rich and favorable situa-
tions, may give two bushels of choice fruit
at four years from seed without culture ~
