sprinr REQUIRES

That the impurities which have accumulat-
ed in your blood during the winter shall be
promptly and thoroughly expelled if good
health is expected. When the warmer
weather comes these impurities are liable
to manifest themselves in various ways and
often lead to serious illness. Unless the
blood is rich and pure that tired feeling
will affiict you, your appetite will fail and
you will find yourself "all run down. /"
Hoods Sarsaparilla tones and strengthens
the system, drives out all impurities and
makes pure, rich, healthy blood. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the one true blood purifier
and the best spring medicine. Be sure to

NEW EVERY MORNIzG.

BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.
Every day is fresh beginning,
Every day Is the world made new;
You who are weary Of sorrow and SHINING,
Here Is beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and ashope tor you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smart and bled,
Are healed with the heeling which night
has shed.
Yesterday now is q part Of forever,
Bound. up in sheaf, which God holds
tight;
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days
which never
Shall visit US more with their bloom and
their bright
Their fulness OF sunshine or sorrowful
night.
Let them 60, since we cannot relieve them;
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God In His mercy receive, forgive them.
Only the new days are our own,
Today Is ours, and today alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrIsm OF dew and the cool of dawn i.
Every day is a fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to glad refrain.
And, spite of old sorrow and older SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible plain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again

HELP YouR NEIaHBoR ALONG.

HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR ALONG.
1t is to be regretted that in many of
our rural districts there exists feeling
of jealously which should not be there.
Why should any farmer, or anyone else
for that matter, be jealous or entertain
anything but kindly feeling toward
his brother in the tame line of business
yet it is no uncommon thing to see
farmers, living on the same street,
whose farms join each other and whose
families should be on the best Of terms
who do not speak, and il the opportu-
nifty presents itself, will do each other
all the damage they possibly can. II
these people could only see how foolish
this principle looks to an outsider, they
certainly would Danish the feeling Of
enmity. Life is too short to have enc
mics; We haven't time to deal with
them. What If we do have to acknoW-
ledge we are wrong sometimes, or what
does 1t amount to if We do not, If we
do not on all occasions, convince those
who do not think as we do, that they
are wrongP Because a man does not
think as we do, or because he demands
damages which we think are unjust, or
says things which are untrue, we have
no reason to believe the best way to
to deal with him is to ''mash his head. "
Let every farmer push his neighDor to
the front with all his might; let this
principal be universal. and see how you
all will advance in a short time. The
principle of holding your neighbor back
in the vain hope that it will advance
yourself, is mistaken IDEA. Help each
other forward and the least will become
"even as the greatest"

Of Interest
To Farmers

WHAT TOMATOES SHALL RAISE.
Probably hundreds Of thousands OF
farmers, market gardners and mechan-
les with their little gardens to culti-
vate, are trying to decide this question
about these days. 1t was this that
brought two enterprising men trip OF
10 miles to my experimental grounds
last season, to see if among the 45 va
rieties, growing there they could find a
better than the Canada Victor that
they had been raising for the very early
market, tomatoes bring S. and up
wards per bushel. To decide the ques-
tion intelligently, one must first de-
eide just what he wants. II above all
things an early sort, then ''First of
Alp is the kind for him; if,early and
good cropping quality beside, then
"Canada Victor" is good sort, but If
he must have it regular in shape as
well as early, then Bonds Early Min
nesota" will be the choice. If, on the
other hand, be must have it of good
size as well as regular, then he will re-
ject all these three varieties, with their
extra earliness, and take one of which
the Imperial is a very good type, it be-
ing regular In form, Of good market
size and medium early. If the sine qua
non is a tomato not only regular but
spherical in shape, then the Livingston
varieties will be the foraging ground.
All Of these are good market sort and
good troopers, and the Stone is as good
as any Of them.
II an excellent all-arouDd tomato for
home use is the object, then Optimus
would be desirable, which has all the
good traits combined, with the single
exception that it is "a little below the
size desirable for market sort. IL the
largest size that can be found in reg
ular shaped tomato is wanted, the Mi
kado is the kind for us. If one wants
great cropper or small sized vine,
and is willing to take the risk Of it's
cracking badly and greening around
the stem should the weather prove un-
propiticus, there is no better variety
than Belmont. If varieties are desired
whose vine will occupy the smallest
possible space, then either the Dwarf
Champion or Aristncrat should have a
place. These differ in color only, the
Champion being purple and the Aristo.
crat scarlet. Their fruit is round as a
ball but each needs high manuring to
bring it to market size. If a variety is
wanted that above all things is not liza
BILE to crack, in my experience there is
none better than the Puritan, the
shape, size and yield of which are ex-
cellent; the one objection to it being its
lateness. II I were asked what one
variety for both market and home use
l would select out of the entire lot
tested in the experimental plot and
combining in the largest proportion all
the most desirable traits, 1 should in
cline to select the Ignotum. There
were other fine varieties in the expert.
ment lot but those l have given, are the
best type of their class.
