A constant drain of nervous vitality

no practical difference, between this
condition and the condition known as
neurasthenia. or nervous prostration

SMALL GREENHOUSE.

Farm House or stand Alone I'm
some sheltered Place,


A small greenhouse about eight by
ten feet is shown in the accompany
ing cut from vick's Magazine, which
thus describes it: It may be at
tached by one end to the dwelling
house and connected by q door. or
it may stand separate in some place
where it will be rs much as possible
sheltered from prevailing winds.
Wherever the spot may be selected,
il should have the best Of drainage
mot only surface drainage away
from it in every direction. but a good
underground drain should be sup.
piled, 50 that by no possibility would
water stand in the house.
The house may be most econom-
ically built by setting down posts at

why the Farm Garden Pays.

Why the Farm 0of0eA rays.
Farmers do not always devote their
labor in the best direction. A garden
may be expensive if not carefully at
tended to, as the weeds soon take pos
session. The receipts from a garden
may also be less than the cost of the
product, but the season, kind of crops
grown and rainfall affect the results.
There is one point in favor of q gar
den, however, which cannot be disre-
garded, which is that the farmer can
never buy as good fruits and vegeta-
bles as he can grow. No vegetables
shipped to the farm can possibly be as
fresh as those taken from the garden
and used Immediately.

selecfion Of Fruit Trees.

Only experienced persons are capa-
bic Of selecting varieties of fruit trees.
Novices should always seek advice.
The soil, climate and demand of the
market are to be considered. Varieties
that may be suitable for one locality
may be almost worthless in another,
and it is the lack of knowledge in Sc
lecting varieties that causes some fail
ures. Selection is very important
matter, for when tree is planted and
the grower waits several years for his
crop it is then too late to rectify mis-
takes except ct Q great loss

prinkinx Hoo Water.

Hot water in the morning before
taking food on healthy stomach di-
lates the blood vessels still more and
may prove the opposite of beneficial.
But on q stomach that has not been
completely emptied it washes the un-
digested food from The interstices and
pockets, and thus favors their elimina-
ton. In the aged hot water seems
more beneficial than the cold, as there
is less heat produced in the body

Two Excellent Strawberries.

Two Excellent StFawberFies.
The old Wilson variety of straw.
berry was one of the best for shipping
and the plant is hardy. It's strongest
rival in shipping qualities is the Atlan-
tic, variety that never became popu-
lar on account of throwing out but
few runners. The Atlantic, however,
usually gave better crops the second
year of picking than the first. which
cannot be said of but few other kinds.
It is firm, solid and can be shipped any
distance, but seems to ripen irregu-
larry.

CHEAP LAND ROLLER.

Properly Put Together, Will

A roller is almost indispensable
for some kinds of farm work, and q
good one may be made by covering
cast mower wheels with 2x4's. as
shown in the illustration. The
roller can be made any desired
length, but seven feet is very good
size. CUT the projections from the
surface of the wheels with heavy
hammer and cold chisel. This is not
as great task as one would think.

Warming Water for stock.

H. B. Gurler. one of the best-known
dairymen of Illinois, in an address
before an institute, recently said that
he begins warming his water as soon
as freezing weather sets in. For his
dairy cattle ne likes to have drink
ing water heated to temperature of
about IS or 80 Fahrenheit. Not only
does 1t prevent chilling of his cows
and consequent decrease in the
flow of milk, but it results in the con-
sumption of much smaller amount
of food. Then, too, the cows find
warm water more palatable. Let
them drink as much as they want

and one on each of the sides mid
way between the corners. Cedar
posts should be used on account OF
durability. II there is only one door.
eight posts would be required, or
ten, If two doors.
The posts should be set firmly in
the ground and cut of evenly at
the top at the height of four feet
six inches, and be boarded on each
side to the height of three feet with
matched boards, and the space be-
tween, which may be six or eight
inches, should be filed in with saw
dust, quite dry, OF tan bark in the
same condition. Above the board
ing there may be 1s inches of glass.
The illustration shows two swing
ing sashes at the side. But it is
not necessary that these should be
provided, especially in q cold climate.
but instead Of one ventilator at the
peak Of the roof, it may be better
to have two, one near each end and
on opposite sides of the roof. No
rafters will be needed in small
house like this. The sash bars will
be fastened at the ridgepole and ia
the plate. The plate should be bev.
eied on the inside to allow the water
to run of.
This house may be fitted up will,
. bench on each side three feet wide
and walk in the center two feet
wide. There should be wooden
extension at the north end of at
least eight feet, giving workroom
eight feet square, with door at
the end entering it from the out
side.
The heating Of a house like this
will depend on the climate. At the
south coal oil stove would serve
the purpose. The most desirable way
for cold climate is first to pro-
vide walled-up pit or cellar beneath
the workroom, where may stand a
small heater. with pipes running
from it all around the inside of the
greenhouse. below the bench, near
the walls. to convey hot water. The
cellar will also afford space for the
storage of small amount of coal
Three lengths Of two-inch pipe all
around the house would probably
give all the heat that would be re.
quired.

GENERAl1r1Es OF INTEREST,

hold in the European universities.
Austria and Mexico have resumed
intercourse for the first time since
the execution of Emperor Macmillan.
When a crew sets out for the north
pole the cost is no small matter. The
item Of food supply for the Baldwin
expedition will amount to $4,000 or
100000.
In Russia the sunfower is culti-
waited as staple crop. The sunflower
seeds are. an article of diet, being
eaten either raw or roasted. The oil
is also used literally in cooking. be-
ing practically equal to olive oil.

there was young American author,
already of distinguished performance
and of even more brilliant promise,
who had brought with him a letter of
commentator from Longfellow. He
was painfully shy and absentminded
at the dinner table, nearly forgetting
to eat and quite, think, forgetting to
drink. In the latter respect he resem-
bled his host, who on that day, while
the dishes were on the table, touched
only one of them.

between conversation with his trans

was drained. The poet, as If surprised
to find it empty. with touch of plain
tiveness in his melodious monotone,
said refectively to the visitor, who had
not touched the wine, DO you always
