An ex-Presiden. of the United States
recently had occasion to attend his
wife to the railway station preparatory
to her setting out upon a long journey
alone. IF you should happen to need
advice or assistance of any kind" the
ex-P President advised his wife at part

but one whose appearance and man
ner were such as to inspire trust. The
journey was accomplished safely, and
the wife had no occasion to follow her
husbands advice. But at an evening
reception, shortly after her arrival in
the city of her destination, a min was
presented to her whom she at once rec
ognized as her fellow traveller. She
related the incident. "Will you please

Lotteries. gambling, bull fights and
vices, little by little have been dimin-
ishing in the islands recently acquired
by the United states.
The Trans-P Pacific commerce has
greatly increased during the past few
years win China, Japan, Hawaii and
Australia This class of expansion is
valuable.
Senator Hanna, in a speech delivered
before the Republican State convention
Of Ohio. showed that during the three
years of the present Republican admin
lstration exports had exceeded imports
by 81. 40e00o.0O0 and that this sum is
the measure of the enormous advant-
ages of having the present administra-
ton manage the affairs of the country.
The American dollar is now one of
the legal monies in circulation in Porto

This is the way an Iowa correspond
ent of Farm, Field and Fireside would
grow watermelons: Select a rich loan
sandy loan is best--and dig holes six
feet each way, or in one long row, and
put a shovel of well rotted manure in
each hill, covering with two inches of
dirt Plant about a dozen seeds in
each hill, covering one inch deep.
Plant from the 9Th to the 10th of May.
Soon after planting these, say five or six
days, plant hill between each two Of
the first ones. These win come up
about the time the bugs show up gem
orally. and they viii not touch the first
vines, but will destroy the second
planting. Should the bugs come early
and attack the first vines they are all
gone before the others are up.

Poultry Feeding.

Those who want fat chickens or tur-
keys should remember that the only
way is to begin by feeding right from
the beginning. DO not trust TO their
being able to pick up living in the
fields for the summer, and then fatten
in few weeks before killing If they
find enough to eat when running at
large they win eat but little or not at all
when they cosle up at night, but it
should be placed where they can get 1t
il they want it. Never let them go to
rocst until they have had all they care
to eat of sound grain, and we prefer the
whole grain TO any mash as the last
food of the day. OF course those who
keep their fowl in yards do not need
this advice, but they need to feed at
regular hours and give as much as
they will eat 1T night.

Bees never attack when their stom-
achs are filled with honey or other
liquid sweets. This is their normal
condition when swarming, and there
fore they are then harmless, and also
when returning to their hives. Neither
do they attack when thoroughly fright
ened. We frighten bees by blowing
smoke among them or by rapping
rather violently on their hives. Won
bees are alarmed in their hives ~
smoke or conclusion, their first impulse
is to fill their honey bags from their
combs Bees in hive that is constant
~ being raped against win In few
minutes rush boldly out from among
their combs into any empty skip or box
set over their place of exit from the
hive

The question of filed cheese has again
come to our attention through recent
prosecutions in England for selling
these goods contrary to law. Several
fines have already been imposed upon
offenders, and there seems to be de
termlnned effort upcl the part of the
officers Of the law TO enforce strict ad-
herenc, to the provisions of the act
which was framed to regulate the sale
Of Imitation cheese. The law provides
that retailers shall advise their Gus
toners OF the character of the article
Sold and they shall also wrap each
piece of cheese when delivered to a pur-
chaser with a paper on which is print
ed distinctly the words Margarine
Cheese"

Patch work Farming.

/ have IL mind farm where there
Is one wide sweep Of grain, not even
a fence, only tiny strip of ground left
implanted, to separate the wheat from
the rye. Ono large field contains the
co crop. o. course, there are fields
fot potatoes and for any other vegeta-
Bile that is raised in quantity, but there
are not half a dozen patches. This is
economy. There are no fences 10 oc-
cupy room and TO be kept in order:
there Is not so much time spent in go
ing from one field to another, and the
conditions are Of some value as to the
general appearance Of the farm. Some
may say that the crops must be chang
ed from place to place: that potatoes
may yield wen on one spot and fail en-
tirely In another, and so on. These
objections may hold good to a certain
extent. 1t may sometimes be desIra-
BILE to change the crops, but this can
be done when necessary, and the farm
er Is supposed soon to learn to adapt
his crops to his soil There Is no need
of making sort Of landscape patch

At the present prices of cotton cloth
a set of good hay caps a yard square
would sometimes pay for themselves in
a single season, when a wet spell
catches the farmer with lot OF hay
nearly cured enough for the barn. X is
both provoking and sure loss to have
a good crop of what should have been
good hay converted into bedding or
something worse than that after one
has worked two or three days TO get 1t
fit for the barn Yet often this happens.
A cap yard square will cover a good
sized tumble Of hay or shock Of grain,
as If It does not reach the ground it Is
enough to have the top well covered If
the heap is properly made.

There is no rule for keeping stock,
so far as the number OF animals is
concerned. 1t is wen TO keep as many
as will consume the food grown upon
the farm. 1t pays to use the food and
sell the stock, because n large portion
of the food will then remain as ma
nure. it a farmer made no apparent
profit on his animals except the manure
derived from them, he would become
more successful each succeeding year,
as the producing capacity OF his farm
would be increased As long as the
farm is made more fertile instead Il

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist,

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 failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. II has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
