NMlue of Wood Ashes

When wood ashes are applied lime is
unnecessary. as every 100 pounds OF
wood ashes contain about 40 pounds OF
lime. Ashes vary greatly. as they are
produced from different sources. easily
absorb moisture. and their composition
cannot be determined without careful
examination. The most valuable in.
gredient In ashes Is potash. the proper.
ton being about pounds to every 100
pounds OF wood ashes. Ashes also con
tain about per cent OF phosphorlc acid
and about per cent OF magnesla. Coal
ashes are Of but little value. Wood
ashes give excellent results on all kinds
Of crops, especially grass.

The Wife,. pnrtiou.

| The farmers wife has about three
Dimes us much work to do as her city
cousin. She assists her husband In run
ning the farm. Without her aid the
husband would often find 1t difficult to
farm successfully. In many cases the
farmers wife rs not treated as she
should be. Frequently the husband has
been drinking. and after his death the
mortgage takes the property. and the
wife has either to struggle for her llv-
Ing or 90 to the almshouse. A good
many OF our farmers are members OF
some beneficial order. This Is all right
and good. but the wife can never feel
happy, because she has to lose her hus-
band before getting her money. The
following Is how treat my wife: For
every article | sell from the farm give
her per cent. Of the money for n pres
ent. We have only one pocket book.
and when l need money use II, and
when she needs money she uses 1t. The
per cent. Is all profit to her. and Is
Intended to be used by her In case she
should become widow. Some OF the
readers OF the Practical Farmer may
think per cent. Is very small portion.
but II amounts to n great deal. Farm
ers sell a good many articles In year,
often more than they think they do.
In case farmer would only sell $500
worth In year the wife would get $25.
Remember, abe has no expenses. She

many OF the readers OF the Practical
Farmer would be surprised II would
mention the amount my wife has de-
posted In the bank. Suppose n young
man should enter the farm at the age
OF ~ and continue his work up to the
age OF G3-or AZ years. IL he sells
every year TO the amount OF $1,000,
which Is a very low sale for the average
farmer. the wife would get $50 a year,

Plum Tree Fungus.


The fungus may be looked for from
the time Of Towering till the fruit Is
mature, says Prof. Pammel, Of the
Iowa Agricultural College. Much may
be done by removing the diseased
piums from the trees In the autumn. l
have made observation on this fungus
for a number of years, and am certain
that II Is much more troublesome where
mummied plums remain on the tree.
Some years ago I observed the fungus
upon the flowers. 1t attacked the
petals. stamens and pistil. Soon the
whole branch became affected with
this blight. In a few days not a single
healthy flower remained on the tree.
1t was also noticed TO start from certain
parts Of the tree. / soon located the
cause In the old monllia- attacked
plums which were hanging on the
trees. In quite number of cases the
starting point was thus found to be in
these old diseased plums. The object
lesson Is plaln-remove all of the dis
eased plums In the fall. Horticulturists
often overlook this important point In
the treatment Of diseases. Rubbish
heaps containing the spores of fungi
are too often neglected. They should
be burned.

Why go to the great City of Gotham for l Furniture when you can find city of Gotham stock to select from right over at Hawleyyille. and at prices much under the city. Now we make this claim because there is reason in it. A claim without reason carries no weight Just study the situation moment, examine the location of our plant and our conveniences for do- ing business. We own the buildings and have no high rents to pay: Shipping facli- ities at this point are unexcelled and we have no carriage either in receiving or send ing out. No concern in the state or any where near our size can begin to do busl- ness under the very small expenses we are under. Any man wi h half an eye can see it. We don't have to tell him this, we only have to remind him of 1t once in while Lest he forget, lest he forget We ad- vertise no leaders but claim to sell all goods on a consistent commission and this is not l what the city establishments are doing. All, or nearly all use leaders. Sell you for l instance stand for 98c that cost them SIS | dozen to buy and then in the next breath while you are intoxicated over this 9Sc bargain, draw $15 commission out of | you on a nice sideboard or bookcase, but | some of the people are getting to the point where they are no more misled by these leaders than the old farmers hens were when he successfully misled them for a number of weeks by mixing fine saw dust ! hut fba IoxT of ri button came at last when he set his favor ite hen a bakers dozen of nice selected eggs and she promptly matched him out nine chickens with wooden legs, three woodpeckers, and hair tipped wood chuck. The old fellow had forgotten that "You can fool one hen all of the time and all of the hens some of the time, but you can't fool all of the hens all of the time. Now we are furnishing up houses in all parts of the state and we are doing it more on the merits of the wares we are sending out than by heavy advertising. We have advertised as you must have noticed but very little during the last two years, but just now some of these editors and pub fishers are faitly beside themselves with the idea of actually owning nice fat turkey for his Sunday dinner, just like the rest of us, and we are paying them gooc price for this little space just to help holo them in the path of rectitude and honesty and head off any necessity for raid ol their neighbors turkey vines.

 Tucked away in the extreme western corner of the vast state of Texas IS the fIourishing city of Fl Pase. After jour- neying to it on the railroads, which en- ter it from all four points of the compass, and passing thousands of square miles of arid and desolate looking country, the traveller is rather surprised to find this live, progressive, American city. It's foundation and original settlement was by the Mexican people. They are still in evidence, roaming about the atreeta and sitting in warm sunny corners with their immense, broad brimmeds high crowned hats and wrapped in their din gy blankets. Their low one storied anc usually one roomed houses of adobe, sur dried brick, crowd on the flats near the river bottom.
