A Great
Scheme!

Why not make your dollars out
of Rubber! That's great scheme.
Then they'll stretch. It's pretty
hard matter to make a five dollar
bill stretch over ten dollar pur-
chase-and even we can't do that
for you-but yet, until rubber dol
lars are made we'll come nearer to
it than any other store you know of
Wen stretch a dollar and fifty cents
so that it will cover pair Of all
wool pants, worth a dollar more.
Well stretch four dollars and fifty
cents of your common silver money
so it'll cover a splendid all-wool
fancy cheyiot or cashmere suit TO bit
young men up to nineteen years old,
well worth seven dollars (the suit
not the young man) We stretch
s. 70 over a fancy cashmere suit
that ought to cost eight dollars, and
it would if this store wasn't here.
Want to stretch your money! Bring
it here, You'll think it's rubber.

Raising Fall Pigs.

A great deal has been said regarding
fall pigs Does it pay to raise them at
all? We answer yes. A matured Po-
breeding condition Nine-tenths of the
natured sows that are bread but once
year are too fat by farrowing to do
their owners much if any good, Breed
your aged sows during June, have them
farrow in October or last of September,
and by the middle of December your
sows are in excellent breeding condi-
tion. And the pigs, if you give them dry
quarters, change bedding at least once
week, feed them as you do your
spring pigs, lots of corn and oats, ard
when spring comes l think you will
agree with the writer that fall pigs
paw. Should you doubt this, be sure
and make mote" of the number of
pigs raised from those over-fed sows
this spring that could not be kept
down to breeding condition and COM
pare said number with the number of
pigs from these same sows next
spring and you will see the
point Before we got it in our
heads to raise or breed for
fall litters our pig crop would average
from three to three and one-half. Our
crop this spring has an average of six
and a fraction, and this includes two
sows that we bought and lost the en-
tire litters. A friend of ours, large
farmer, keeps his sows in good trim
the whole year round, and has not over
dozen pigs to date. His complaint
is small litters and the few they have
are killed by everything. Another fel'
low that believes in spring pigs
only, keeping his sows in show
condition the whole year round,
saved some 20 odd out of some ITO pigs
Another friend writes under recent
date: Il am almost dlsgusted with
the hog business. The sows had gooc
average litters, but the per cent. Of
pigs saved is very small; my sows are
too fat you see." Our fall pigs hav,
made up to first growth of Fraction
over pound per day. With our sow'
in tirst-class breeding condition WI
are safe in saying our fall pigs hav'
paid us well.-Cor. American Swine

KEEPING THE SOIL STIRRED.
There Are Good Reasons why 1t Should
be Done II the Farmer VIII
Only Think.

The last two springs in this part of
the country, at least, were rather wet
and cold; so much so that crops, espe
cially cultivated ones, were tardy in
getting a start; but where proper and
timely cultivation would be and was
given they grew fairly well. When
such weather terminates extreme heat
and dryness usually follow; hence the
Importance of cultivating as soon as
the soil approaches proper condition
for stirring, so that it may be put in
fairly good condition ere it becomes dry
and hard.
TO EvAPoRATE SURPLUS MOISTURE.
When the spring is thus backward
and rainy, the sun and atmosphere do
not dry and warm up the ground very
rapidly, we find the best means to aid
evaporation of the surplus moisture and
warming the soil is g ridge method of
cultivation, using turning plow to
throw the soil up in the ballSs; this
serves to drain the hill, and exposes
more of the ground to the action of
the sun and atmosphere, thus render
ing it warmer and drier. But this
rdged cultivation should be discon-
tinued as soon as the soil approaches
fairly good condition, which requires
but a few weeks, if the weather 10
| favorable.
Some think it better to follow this
ridged cultivation by using the harrow
to level the ground This does very
well, but we prefer a cultivator, which
stirs the soil more effectually. Plow
young corn moderately deep, but after
it gets to foot in height and the roots
expand beyond the hill, shallow cul-
tivation must be practiced, to prevent
root pruning.
TO HOLD MOIST rURE.
After warm weather sets in. and the
surplus moisture is gone, our object
then is to hold the rest of the moisture
in the soil for the use of the plants;
hence, aside from destroying weeds and
admitting atmospheric action, we stir
the soil to prevent evaporation of the
moisture arising from that stored be-
low.
SO altogether we find that the process
OF stirring the soil is very important,
doubtless far more so than the ma jori-
ty of cultivators of the soil themselves
are aware.
WORKING OUT PLANT FOOD.
For this reason we are led to add q
few words on one OF the most impor-
tant reasons for stirring the soil; this
Ia 70 continue the elaboration OF the
The Van Buren press., 1898-08-20

plant food in the soil. A growing crop
takes up rapidly the supply of availa.
BILE plant fo ID in the soil, and, to Sc.
cure good crop, it is important that
it be replenished as fast as consumed.
The soil contains a great deal OF food
material in the shape of vegetable mat
ter and fragments of minerals, but 1t
is not available. Air and moisture are
the active agents in fitting this ma
terial for the growth of the plants; and
hence stirring the soil stimulates the
action of these agents. And not only
this, but the freshly-stirred soil abb
serbs much valuable material from the
atmosphere, thus adding to its store

them on the street. 1t was easy enough
20 read the address upon the boxes;
but there was no name-only street

That was sufficient, however. l

ders for such tokens as seemed to be

And so that was the end. The sight
of her at the window day after day;
feeling of cheer from her bright pres
ence near me; and then the sorrow for
the loss of one whose very name | did
not know, l missed her heartily in
those succeeding weeks.
Even so late as September l had by
no means forgotten her or the Incl
dents connected with that time OF
strange and fanciful sorrow. 1t was
on the fifth day of that month when
a man of familiar aspect, yet certain
ly not an acquaintance, walked into
my Office. He came slowly up to me,
and laid two cards upon my desk. One
was my own, and the other bore the
inscription:
JOHN NJ. DOUGLAS, NJ. ID.
The name was not familiar. but the
man himself l had certainly seen. All,
10 be surei He was the doctor who had
come 10 the office across the way, when
the end was drawing near.

is yours, isn't it?' said he.
| nodded.

YES" l replied, "they were for her"
And l glanced across the way.
"Well. you probably have some ra-
tional explanation of it, said he. but

blems to her on the occasion of her
The Van Buren press., 1898-08-20

There were two clerks and a book
keeper in the employ of Stoughton d
Bland, and l judged that all of them
were deeply conscious of the secre-
tary's charms. The youngest CT thep
was obviously in love with her, and he
frequently got snubbed for his atten-
tions. He was tall and handsome
youth with corn-eolored hair that
rolled back from his forehead in a
wave which he had the good sense not
to spoil with a comb and brush.
There was also a square-shouldered
fellow who bristled with energy. He
seemed to be employed in outside
work, and it was only in the early
hours that he had a chance to talk
with her. She treated him with sutfi-
cient eordiality to cause jealous feel
ings on my side of the canyon-for X
pleased me to fancy myself in love with
her.
Lastly, there was the old bookkeep-
er, who must have lived somewhere In
the country, for he brought her such
flowers as the florists do not sell and
laid them on her desk before she came
down. He would be alone in the Office
then, and he did not know that | was
watching him from across the chasm.
/ have seen him spend 20 minutes in
arranging half a dozen wild flowers
and then dodge quietly away at the
sound of a step in the hall. In all my
days at the window never saw him adj
dress her till she had first spoken to
him.
There was a day in June when she
did not come to the Office. A tribute
of blossoms awaited her, and | could
read anxiety in the old bookkeeper's
back where he stood by his desk on the
far side of the room as the minutes
passed on beyond the usual time of
her appearance. When the gray-haired
young man came in his first glance was
