An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FI9 SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the LIQUID laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. IL
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

INTENSIVE FARMING.
Better Than q Large Farm
Specifically Titled.

As soon as we learn in this country
that fewer acres better cultivated are
better than many acres carelessly cul-
tivated, the greater will be the profits
of farming. The great extent and
original cheapness of our farming lands
have been detriment to us agricul-
turally. Thousands got their farms at
SLIPS an acre, and even less, added to the
original claim as rapidly as possible.
and engaged in farming ''all out doors. "
Almost necessarily such farming is
loosely done. When there are but few
acres under cultivation, they must be
made to produce what we need, and
they can be with less expenditure OF
time and effort. The English farmer
compels his few acres to yield as much
Of our many acres do, because his sys-
tenn is more perfect. The farms of the
future will be smaller. The time will
come-after we are gone-when herds
will not rove over great fields, but will
be soiled; when the wheat and corn
crops will be made to more than double
the present average yield, and when
farming will be less irksome because its
operation will be more contracted in
every respect. If these things will be
profitable and desirable then, why
would they not be profitable and de.

WHEN TO CUT HAY.
No Rule Can he Laid Down That Might
Not De Subject to Important
Notifications.

As a general proposition it is best
to cut hay just as it is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifica-
tons according as we want the hay for
feeding dairy cows, horses or other
stock. For horses it is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one of his books
says that zone strong objection that
works against the early cutting of hay
is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
of animals that feed upon it. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for working horses. All newly
made hay has a laxative and loosening
effect upon animals. Such hay cannot
be sold to the keeper of a livery stable,
because, as he would say, he has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are of the opinion that this
laxative quality of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through .
process of sweating, which occurs in
the NOW. No matter how dry the hay
is at the time it is put in the barn, it
is held that it will always sweat some
what in the NOW. By October the
process is completed. so that the hay
is fit for use, provided it was ripe
enough when mown. But in the case
of hay made from young grass, as
rowen, for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay is
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept at work, since it is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable tc
stumble
Such is the opinion of Storer How
far it is borne out in the experience OF
western farmers is rather difficult to
say.-Farmers' Review.

Don't Judge man by the scowl on his

When frivolous young lady tells YOU
how awfully interested she is in the spe-
cialty you've spen: 20 years trying to learn,
take her word for it, and then change the
subject.
It isn't always fair to Judge man by the
hat he wears; perhaps it isn't so much a
matter of taste as of salary.
Don't think that because Mrs. Continual

hearing you talk about yourself; poverty
isn't the only recipient of charity.

BOND IN CONVERSATION.
Two Wearexs Of Eyeglasses Never
Need he without q SUBJ
ject.

He is one of those enthusiastic men
whose hobby is his friends. His chief
aim in life seems to be getting those he
most admires together in his home or
at the club, and then leaves them to get
acquainted while he writes letter or
attends to some equally unimportant
piece of business.
Not long ago he caused to become
acquainted man whose one desire is
to thoroughly understand agriculture,
and broad minded, free thinking law
yer, who cares no more about why
things grow than a goldfish does for
mouse. They are both intelligent, but
the only thing similar about them is
that they both wear glasses.
"Mr. Jones, this is Mr.. Brown. Now,
ii you will excuse me, Til write a let
ter" said mine host in his usual way.
as he withdrew.
They both lighted cigars, and the
lawyer began story of the day, but the
agriculturist merely smiled a faint, far
away smile. The lawyer talked of a
difficult case he had just won, and of
numerous well-known cases over the
country, but called forth no answering
remarks from his companion. He dis
coursed at length upon the theaters and
all the latest music and gossip, but to
no avail. He narrated on the virtues
and failing of past and modern liter
allure, religion, art, science, the Aus
tralian ballot system and national pol
itics. His companion listened, but said
nothing, showing he was not interested.
In despair, the lawyer commenced a
discourse on the meteoric showers,
when he noticed the agriculturist re-
move his spectacles and wipe them on
corner of his handkerchief. A bright
idea came to him.
II see you wear spectacles," he said.
ut is said there is vast difference in
results of wearing nose glasses and
spectacles. / suppose you have worn
both? Can you tell me what it is %
The agriculturist had, could and did.
He talked on what was the matter with
his eyes, what he did for them, how cer-
tain lights and things affected them,
what sort Of prisms to wear, who is the
best oculist, and listened attentively
and eagerly to like remarks from the
lawyer. When mine host returned,
they were still discussing the subject
and were apparently the bestof friends,
which goes to prove that, no matter
how far apart you are, a man or wom-
an, if you wear glasses there is al
ways bond of fellowship and interest
between you, and an open sesame to
conversation. Try it some day and see.

Mushrooms made by Hand.

A mushroom manufacturer is the
latest thing in novelties. An indi-
vidual living in the department of the
Ayeyron, France, struck by the high
price at which mushrooms were being
sold in his district, conceived the idea
Of fabricating the delicacy out of tur-
nips. He cut the turnips into rounds,
dried them, and, after giving them q
dab with the paint brush, disposed of
them to unsuspecting customers as the
genuine article. For some time he
drove thriving trade, but. unluckily
for him, he one day sold batch to
a gourmet, who was not SO easily to
be taken in. Indignant at the trick
played on him, the gourmet brought an
action, which has just resulted in the
condemnation Of the mushroom manu-
facturer to two months imprisonment.
