SUBSOILING PAYS.
II increases the Storage Capacity of
the Soil and Promotes the
Growth of Crops.

Under all circumstances it should be
the farmers aim to conserve the moist
ure i'll the soil-in the arid regions to
reduce as much as possible the labor
and expense of irrigation, and in humid
regions to protect crops against
droughts. Various means may be en-
ployed for the purpose of conserving
and economizing the moisture supply
of soils. Subsoiling is one of the most
important of these means. Several of
the stations have made careful studies
of the influence of subsoiling on soil
moisture. The Wisconsin station de-
scribes this influence substantially as
follows: Subsoiling (1) increases the
storage capacity of the soil for moist
ure, and (2) increases the rate at which
water will sink into the soil, but (3)
decreases the rate at which it may be
brought back to the surface. Subsoil-
ing also increases the amount of moist
ure available to crops, since plants are
capable of utilizing a LARGE proportion
of the moisture present in loose and
coarse-grained soils than of that in
fne-grained and compact soils. AS re-
CARDS the best method of subsoiling,
report of the Wisconsin station states:
"Subsoiling to be most effective
should be done in such a way as to
leave the soil loose, much as the stub
bic plow leaves it. To accomplish this
much win depend upon the character
of the tool and more upon the condi-
ton of the soil when the work is done.
IL the soil is to be so wet as to be
plastic when the blowing is done, then
the effect of the subsoil pillow will be
to wedge the portions of the soil, which
are heavily pressed into an even more
compact and close texture than before,
and thus develop a condition the OPP
posite of that sought. To simply form
n long groove or channel in the subsoil
by wedging the dirt aside gives little
aid in the direction sought. Such
work, then, if done at all, should be
done when the subsoil itself is dry
enough, and this is most likely to oc-
cur in the fall after the crop of the
season has withdrawn the moist
ure from it. Subsoiling late, too, leaves
no time for the soil to lose it's open
texture before the rains to be stored
reach it."

Johns GOOD IDEA.

a woman whose husband was physician

behavior had made for him many friends
among the government officials. John was
a good cook and more than clearly, so the
doctors wife hailed him with delight and
mourned greatly when the days were busy
and John was not allowed beyond the pris-
on walls. John, when in the world, had
heard a good deal about the Sunday
school, life of his fellow celestials and
since his confinement had thought much on
the subject
The doctor was very proud Of Johns
cooking and one day invited few friends
in for dinner John was in his element
and prepared an elaborate meal. Among
the many deiicacies for dessert ordered by
the doctors wife was an angel cake. John s

Life Saved by Swamp-ROOt.
The Great Discovery That Cures Kid
ney and Bladder Troubles.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years of
study and research, and after test on
test that never ried in the grand re-
suit announced the discovery of Swamp
Root, which has proven itself a most
wonderful cure for all diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proven such a
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure Of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways. in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonialletters re-
ceived from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative prop
critics OF .4wamp-Root. Besure and men

dr., IS to Dr.. KiImer & Co., Binghamton,
Ny.
This great modern discovery is for
sale at most drug-stores in fifty-cent
and one-dollar sizes.

scheme for Getting Even with Her
Husband Which Works Well.

There was no light in the Mulcahy
domicile.
Mrs. Mulcahy was awake, neverthe-
less. The reason? Mr. Mulcahy had
not come in. 1t was the third night that
week that Mr.. Mulcahy had stayed out
after II and Mrs. Mulcahy had made up
her mind to put an end to it. In her
loneliness she had resolved upon plan.
'Shure an DIN do ut she said to
herself, and just then she heard the
side door close with bang. That
meant that Mr.. Mulcahy had arrived.
Mrs. Mulcahy went to the top of the
stairs and listened. A stumbling foot
fall from the hall below was carried up
TO her ears.
Done il agin,' muttered Mrs. Null
cahy to herself, which meant that she
had concluded from the sounds that Mr..
Mulcahy had dallied long with the
frothy bowl that evening.
She hastily went back into her room
and feigned sleep. BY and by Mr.. Null
cahy stumbled into the chamber. He
leaned against the washstand to take
the electric light that shone through
window Mrs. Mulcahy saw her worse
seven-eighths stagger as though shout
TO fall, but he caught the door iamb in
time Mrs Mulcahy watched him from
between half-closed eyelids. He had
succeeded in getting off both shoes.
Then he peeled his coat and without

self on the bed.
Mrs Mulcahy watched. She didn't
make a sound. BY and by the heavy
breathing of Mr.. Mulcahy told her that
he was in a deep sleep. That was Mrs.
Mulcahy's cue to act. She rose quiet
ly and stealthiIy crept to the bureau.
From a lower drawer she took out a
clean sheet This she threw over Mr..
Mulcahy. with care that the edges of
the sheet upon which he reposed and
the edges of the one she threw over
him met Then she tip-toed over to
the stand by the window and returned
with r,.edle in her hand, threaded
with loa 2 string of tough linen thread.
Without a sound she sat down on the
edge of ne bed and began her work of
the night She stitched the edges of
the two sheets together all the way
round. and when she had finished she
stepped one side to view her work.
There. in the bag she had sewn around
him. lay the form of Mr.. Mulcahy. That
wasn't all. Mrs. Mulcahy went down
stairs in her bare feet. She was gone
ten minutes at least And when she re-
turned she carried in her hand long,
thick barrel stave.
She looked at the white-coyered form.
Then she raised the stave high above
her head. and down it came. There
was veil from between the sheets.
The sheets moved, but Mr.. Mulcahy
couldn't get out. Again and again were
the blows rained on the enlarged body
of Mr.. Mulcahy, and Mrs. Mulcahy had
only just begun when the officer on the
beat ratified the front door, his sleep
broken by the yells from the Mulcahy
residence Well, Mr.. and Mrs Mulcahy
were arrested, and the next morning
Mr.. Mulcahy was fined ten dollars in
police court for disturbing the peace.
