believing that they will be in a posi-
ton to do most Of the supplying. The
building of railroads into Alaska will
mean the necessity for hiring large
numbers Of laborers. The opening OF
new mines will create numerous min
ing towns and some of these will de-
velop into good sized cities. Though
Alaska bids fair to produce much OF
the food stun it needs, yet it will GER
ta1nly be a generation before tree
fruits Of any kind will be extensively
produced, even on the islands of the
southwestern coast. The people that
go to this new region will be fruit
eaters, because they will be mostly
drawn from American cities, where the
habit of fruit eating has been formed.
We believe the Pacific coast fruit
growers are right in expecting new
market for their tree fruits in the
colder regions to the north of them.

FOR WOMAN's HEALTH
Earnest Letters from Women Re-

"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM Before I
commenced to take your medicine
was in q terrible state, wishing myself
dead a good many times. Every part
of my body seemed to pain in some
way. At time of menstruation my
suffering was something terrible. I

my bad feelings were gone. I am now

Oregon Water Hemlook.

This is a smooth perennial, with
erect or struggling glaucous stems
three to six feet high, compound
leaves, which spring directly from the
ground, white flowers, blooming in
July and August, and a feshy root,
which has muskrat-like odor, and
which consists of two very distinct
and characteristics parts. The more
conspicuous of these is the vertical
rootstock. which is from one to six
inches long by one or two thick, and
Is curiously divided into numerous
chambers by horizontal partitions.
This rootstock furnishes the bulk OF
the poison. The other portion of the
root consists Of solid, heshy fbers,
which run along on or just under the
surface of the soil, and send of nu-
merous rootlets from beneath. The
rootstock rots or dwindles away al
most entirely before the seeds ma

soil Particles.

A number Of years ago experiments
were made at John Hopkins Univer-
sity to determine how many particles
there are in gram of loan soil. The
result was rather startling from a
mathematical standpoint. It was con-
cluded that there are in that amount
Of soil 3,74o, 100000 particles. We do
not know the process by which this
conclusion was arrived at, but Ger
tatnly it was not by actual count.
However, the result was doubtless ap-
proxfmately correct. The number Is
far beyond human comprehension. For
this reason we are never able to fully
realize the principles of capillary at
traction. Each one of these exceed
ingly minute particles is surrounded
by film Of water still more minute
as to its thickness, but between any
two particles there is a minute space
filed with air. and these spaces exist
everywhere above the water level In
the soil. When these spaces are filled
with water the roots Of most OF our
farm crops cannot take food, but WILL
rot. The necessity for admitting air
to the soil is thus apparent. Stirring
these soil particles pushes them so far
apart that the water films are not con-
t1nuous from one particle to another,
and the evaporation is thus stopped
till the particles again settle back to
a more compact arrangement.

Kahr Corn.


Whether or not it will pay man to
plant Kaar corn will depend on the
state, and locality in state, in which
he resides. 1t must be remembered
that Kaflr corn is a blessing to farm
ers who reside in states with dimin-
ished rainfall or in localities in states
where rainfall comes at the wrong
time of the year to greatly benefit
the growing crops. In states where
Indian corn can be grown to perfec-
tion it will not generally pay to grow
Kafir corn. We give this word Of cau-
ton at this time, because there is a
tendency to judge plant by its value
in some one locality. For Kansas, Ne
braska, and wherever the Indian corn
crop is cut short by drouth, Kaflr corn
should be extensively grown. 1t will
stand drouth better than Indian corn,
and it's leaves will remain succulent
for long time after the leaves of In
dian corn have become dry and about
worthless. But even with Kafr corn
early planting is best on account OF
the added amount of moisture it gets
from the spring rains. Once estab-
lished, it sends down its roots into
the moist earth below and can stand
the ordinary drouth of our western
summer.

Poison uemlock.

This is also called wild hemlock,
spotted parsley, stinkweed, herb ben
net, poison root, poison snakeweed,
cashes, wode whistle.
This is smooth, purple-spotted,
hollow-stemmed biennial, 2 to feet
high, with large parsley-like leaves
and snowy clusters Of small white
flowers, which appear in July and
August. The seed is prominently
ridged, and has on its inner surface a
deep, narrow, longitudinal groove. The
fresh leaves have an extremely nau-
seating taste. and when bruised emit
characteristic mouse-like odor. Pols-
on hemlock is native to Europe and
Asia, but has become naturalized In
the United States and is rather COM
mon in waysides and in waste places

'.Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from one
bottle of Peruna. One week has
brought wonderful changes and am

one of the very best spring t0nics it is
an excellent catarrh remedy" Very

tion. 1 have since enjoyed the best

Almost everybody needs a tonic in
the spring. Something to brace the
nerves, invigorate the brain, and
cleanse the blood. That Peruna will
do this is beyond all question. Every
one who has tried it has had the same
experience as Mrs. D. W. Timberlake
of Lynchburg, Va, who, in a recen',
letter, m"de use of the following
words: Il always take a dose of Pc.

no better spring tonic, and have useJ

Care of Farm Implement.

The rise in the price of implements
will bring about one good result if it
arouses farmers to the Importance of
taking care of their purchases. The
lack of timber in many portions of the
prairie states and the poverty OF pio-
neers compelled them at the start to
do without some of the buildings con-
sidered necessary on an eastern farm.
A shack for the shelter of live stock
was frequently all that could be az
forded by the new settler, and his i'm
plements suffered in consequence.
Had the improvidence stopped there
the results would not have been ser1-
Gus, for in few years those pioneers
had either accumulated enough to
properly equip their farms with tools
and buildings, or had been forced ous
of business through an ability to cope
with conditions. Unfortunately, how
ever, thriftless habits remained when
all excuse for such practices had pass
ed away, and today on many Illinois
farms we see farm products going to
waste and valuable implements ex-
posed to the sun and storm to degree
that would have scandalized the care
full New England farmers of a century
ago. What would be thought of a
housekeeper who would place an ex-
pensive range in leaky shed, or leave
a sewing machine exposed to the
weather, yet that is the kind of care
taking that prevails among many
farmers. How often we see the plow
left in the furrow over night so 1t
will be handy" in the morning, or see
the reaper, the hay rake or the thresh-
er standing unsheltered in the field.
Wagons and carriages experience the
same neglect and it does not take long
for collection of dirty, rickety We
hicles and rusty implements to thor
oughly advertise the shiftlessness o1
their owner. II high prices would make
such farmers provide shelter for their
tools and then keep them in good order
and repair, they would prove bless

horticultural obs.rv. tions.


Reports from the northwest say that
there is to be a Cured Fruit Associa-
ton formed, patterned after the CAL
ffornia Raisin Growers Association,
which proved so successful last year.
The new association will take in all
the manufacturers of cured fruit in
the Pacific northwest. The objects
will be to make uniform pack. and
ensure that the evaporated prunes and
other like fruit be placed on all the
markets in the most perfect form
possible. The price will also be made
uniform and reasonable. 1t remains
to be seen IL these men can make as
great a. success of it as did the Cali
fornia association mentioned.
The spring is here and vegetation
fs awakening. With 1t will also
awaken the insects that have hiber-
mated during the winter. In addition.
the spores of apple scab fungus will
begin their work with the increase
of warmth. This, therefore, is the
time to buy spraying apparatus, If it
has not been already purchased. The
man whose trees have not been attack
ed is the man that wants to be first
in securing the advantages of spray
ing. The chief value of this operation
lies in the prevention of attacks. After
insects have fed extensively on the
foliage of the trees all the spraying
in the world will not cure the trouble.
r. can only prevent further injury. We
earnestly urge every man that has
laree interests in orchards or small
fr,,it plantations to secure Q spraying
