When Emma Arnold kissed Lieuten-

Take. o, take those lips away.

Lights that do misead the morn:
But my kisses bring again. bring again;
Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in
Vain.'

SILVER AND WHEAT.

Winfield Free Press: The high price of
wheat in this country was not caused by
tariH, but by scarcity of supply in the
slNer-nslng countries. Last year Argen-
tina and India combined exported less
than 100000 bushels of wheat. This year
Argentina alone exports $1,000. 600 bushels.
With normal crop an over the world the
silver countries have a vast advantage
over the gold standard countries on ac-
count of the par of exchange. Our wheat
and cotton growers receive only the gold
price OF silver for their product while
those in the silver countries receive its
mint or coin price for theirs. Thus the
wheat and silver argument will stand
the test. The silveFites have never made
an assertion on that point that they are
not willing to stand by.
Denver Post: The price of wheat and
the price of silver parted company last
year under extraordinary circumstances.
The crop failure in Russia. in India and
other wheat exporting countries combined
with the manipulations of INSCRIPTIONS
spectators in this country sent up the
price of wheat while that of silver re-
NAMED stationary. Yet the two did not
part company very long. With the dis
appearance of the extraordinary condi-
tons. the crop failure in the wheat ex-.
porting countries and the manipulations of
the spectators. the price of wheat and of
silver are together again. there to remain

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and
Don't Know ii.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart fail
ure or apolexy are often the result OF
kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the kidney poison in the
blood is liable to attack the vital organs,
or the kidneys themselves break down
and waste away cell by cell. Then the
richness of the blood-the aIbumen-leaks
out and the sufferer has Brighfs Disease
the worst form of kidney trouble. Kidney
trouble can be detected although it be
slow and deceptive. First, by analysis OF
the urine; second, by the simple test o
setting the urine aside in a glass or bottle
for twenty-four hours, when cloudy or
brick dust settling indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that in His
infinite power and goodness the Great
Physician caused Swam-Root to grow for
the benefit of suffering mankind, leaving
it for His servant, DR.. Kilmer, the great
kidney and bladder specialist to discover
it and make it known to the world. Its
wonderful efficacy in promptly curing the
most distressing cases is truly marvellous.

Blue Joint Grass.

f. Lamson Scribner recommends blue
joint grass to more extended culture for
hay in the northern portion of the Unit
ed States. 1t is grass common in the
northern and northwestern states, ex-
tending clear across the continent, usu-
ally growing in moist meadows The
leafy stems are three to five feet high
and the open brown or purplish panicles
have some resemblance to those of red
top. Occasionally it is found occupying
considerable areas to the exclusion OF
other grasses, aig under such conditions
1t yields large amount of excellent
hay, highly priced by farmers and eaten
with avidity by all farm stock. This
grass grows naturally on low, moist
meadows and has succeeded we'll under
cultivation.

How to Keep yegetabIes.

Cauli1ower may be kept for some
time il the roots are planted in cold
frame or in moist soil in light cellar.
In the market garden the way generally
practiced for burying such vegetables
as beets. carrots, turnips and potatoes
IN trenches is to dig a pit three to four
feet deep and about six feet wide and of
the length required. The vegetables are
packed in sections three to six feet long
In the pit and to the level of the
ground, leaving a space of three feet or
more between sections to be filled with
earth. The advantage of the sections is
that few bushels may be taken out
without exposing the rest. In covering
the pits the top should be rounded so
the water will run off. If the onions
have been well dried, they are best kept
in winter by putting them on SLATED
shelves in a dry. cool cellar. They will
keep better if the temperature is only q
little above freezing, says W H. Jen-
kins in The National Stockman and

Protecting Trees From Mice-Repair-
ing Barns, Etc.-Putting Up Pork.
Some time in November before the
ground freezes solid all fruit trees, and
especially those that are young, should
be closely banked up with earth, free
sod or stone, and SO closely packed that
no interstices will be fcrnd next to the
tree. The mound should be made foot
or more high. Mice will net climb such
a mound because their enemies-cats,
owls and other night prowlers-are then
on the hunt for them. Apple tree bark
isan especial favorite of mice, but when
pinched by hunger. as they often are
when snow is on the ground, they will
eat anything. Sometimes, when sod
ground in orchards is plowed in the
fall, mice will burrow under the sod
and come up beneath. 1t is almost i'm
possible to keep trees from injury where
sod has been plowed around them in the
fall. Even spring plowed sod is usually
more or less burrowed by mice, which
get under hills of corn OF potatoes and
injure them. This is one of the reasons
for fall pIowing sod ground for corn or
potatoes, but it should not be done in
orchards of young trees.
Before the end of November all the
crannies in the walls of buildings or in
the siding, which the weather has
made during the year, should be filled.
All old buildings become very cold by
the dropping out of mortar used to put
up the walls. For this a days work
with barrel of mortar and trowel
will do wonders. If knotholes appear
in boards, nail strip of board over
them.
If man has no basement to his barn,
or even no barn, he may keep his stock
almost as comfortably as in basement
by making shed and piling against it
all around a lot of rails, filling the
space between the rails and the siding
with straw or with hay that is damaged
so that it is no better than straw. If
the stock is kept warm by such use of
provender, it will do the animal more
good than to consume it as food. 1t is
really used as warmth either way, as
the more chill there is to the outside
the greater is the diversion of this in
ternal carbon to furnish heat, when, if
the animal were kept warm, the food
would be changed TO flesh or fats. 70
the foregoing timely suggestions The
American Cultivator adds an expression
of opinion in regard to putting up pork,
as follows:
Hogs killed this month, after the
weather is cooled so that the dead hog
will cool during the night. will keep
better than those killed later, when the
whole hog will be frozen through. All
that is needed is to get the animal heat
out of the body, SO that the tempera-
ture will be that of the surrounding
air. Pork cannot keep we'll in hot
weather when put in the barrel with
ribs attached. There is some air around
the bones, and as this is the part that
taints easiest it soon extends to the
rest. Beef is much harder to keep in
barrel than pork, because it has more
lean meat and also more bone than
pork. 1t is almost impossible to keep
pork we'll in barrel that has once held
beef, but beef may be put in old pork
barrels after they are scalded out and
will keep as well as it would in an en-
tirely new barrel.
