The Marriage Problem

uHow to be happy though married, p has
been entirely solved to the satisfaction
of hundreds of thousands of women.
There can be no happiness without
health. The general health of woman
is dependent on the local health of the
delicate woman1y organs. When there
are facilitating drains, or Inflammation,
liberation or female weakness, happiness
in marriage is practically impossible. A
host of happy wives testify that the
secret of happiness in marriage is found
in the use Of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It dries the drains, heals Ill
ceration and Inflammation and cures fe-
male weakness. It makes weak women
strong, sick women well.

FRUIT TREE BORERS.

The Oklahoma experiment station has
issued the following bulletin:
Many orchards suffered heavy and
unnecessary loss during the last summer
from the attacks of borers. Most farm
ers do not notice that there is anything
wrong with the trees until the leaves
turn yellow and begin to fall in midsum-
mer. After this stage has been reached,
there is little hope for the tree, and it
dies before frost. A glance at the tree
will be sufficient to see that the bark on
the trunk is dead and black in irregular
spots and lines. Just beneath the dead
bark is the borer's burrOw, filled with
worm dust. III large spot of bark is
killed, the bark aud wood begin to rot,
and are soon filled with a mushroom
growth, which develops the fruiting pOr-
ton on the outside of the trunk, and re-
sembles that which is seen on rotten
logs. The rot may hasten the death of
the tree. but tree that is sound and free
from blemishes is very seldom, If ever,
attacked by this rot. The best thing to
do is to keep the tree free from borers
and other Injuries. The land should be
kept free from grass and weeds and we'll
cultivated. Good, clean cultivation Is
worth more than all the washes and
dressings that can be applied to prevent
borers. A good wash, however, is often
worth many times what it costs to apply
and will do much toward preventing the
attacks of borers and other insects. A
one-pound can of concentrated lye, dis
solved in two or three gallons of water,
makes a very good tree wash. Another
good wash can be made Of one-half pint
pine tar, one-hslf pint carbolic acid, and
two gallons soft soap. These washes
can easily be applied with an old white
wash brush, or swab made of old rags
tied on the end of stick. The wash
should be applied two or three times to
the trunk and large limbs during the
spring and early summer.

FARM NOTES.

In many cases, the Obstinacy of cream
comes from unsuitable care and improper
temperature of the cream.
Milk that is to be used for butter and
cream will give the best results from
deep setting and speedy separation.
There are two things practiced by
many sheepmen that it will pay to quit
doing. One is breeding immature ami
mails and inbreeding, and another is feed
ing animals that are ready for market.

Corn ensilage produces the very best

Antiquity of Man.

From review in Science Of De Nor
tlllet's great work on prehistoric times
the following is condensed. Twelve
chapters are devoted to the question OF
tertiary man. 1t is concluded that
while man did not exist during this
period, precursors Of man more intcllf-
gent than any of the living anthropoids
did exist.
Pithecanthropus erectus Is consider
ed as the immediate precursor Of man.
The Calayeras skull is rejected. The
paleolthic period is considered as cor.
responding to the early quarternary,
and 222,OOO years Is assigned as the
length of this period. Add to this num-
ber 10000 years for the protohistoric
and neolithic periods and 5000 years
more for the historic period. and we
have 23S,OOO years, which is, according
to the authors. moderate estimate OF
mcn's antiquity.

The Case Of wv
Jared Burton.
BY M. QUAD.
Copyright, 1901, by c. B. Lewis.

On the 14th day Of September, 1867,
Jared Burton, a single man Of 30, liv-
ing I'm village in Iowa, started by rail
road for d town 80 miles distant, and
he has not returned to his home and
relatives since. He was man in more
than comfortable circumstances, and
his mother and sister lived with him.
Boy and man, he had lived in the VII
lage for 20 years when he set out that
day ON business matter. When sew
eral days had passed without his re-
turn or word from him, inquiries were
made. He had arrived at the town all
right, transacted his business and then
taken a train on another road. 1t was
thought he had gone away in the COM
pany of a stranger. but no one could be
sure of this. After ten days and still
no word he was advertised for, and de-
tectives were employed to hunt him up.
The search was not given up for three
months, and then it was believed that
he was dead
A year had gone by and the mystery
was still unsolved when one day Jared
Burton rcturned-that is, he said he
was Jared Burton, and the question
of whether he was or not brings out
this story. On leaving the train he
met Squire Danforth and shook hands

FREQUENCY OF CULTIVATION.

The frequency of cultivation must
vary with a variety OF circumstances. 1t
must be repeated as often as new crop
of weeds starts. 1t will usually be true,
also, that the field will need going over
as soon after rains as the soil will per-
init. provided the rain has been heavy
enough to destroy the mulch. La the
early part of the season, 1t will gener-
ally pay to cultivate as often as once per
week, because, while the soil is wet, fire.
quent cultivation not only saves moist
ure, but it hastens the development Of
nitrates in the soil from which the crop
must derive its nitrogen supply.
When the season is dry and well-de-
veloped dry mulch two or three inches
deep has been formed, there will be little
gained by cultivating, if the field is free
from weeds. On the other hand, IL, in
such time, the dry portion OF the mulch
is not more than one to one and one-half
inches deep, it may be made enough more
efficient to pay for another cultivation.
Ii must be remembered that mulches
tend to become less and less effective by
standing, the moisture creeping upward
through the soil, causing it to draw to-
gether and become more compact.
There is often another reason for GO
ing over the field with the cultivator,
even when good mulch exists and there
are no weeds. The evaporation Of water
from the soil results in concentrating
right at the surface the soluble salts held
in the soil water, and, as the nitrates
form most rapidly near the surface, these
are especially liable to gather there,
where they are entirely out of reach of
the roots. But to go over the field with
the cultivator, stirring the soil to depth
| of three inches, will throw much OF this
most valuable plant food down where it
can again be dissolved by the soil water
and the roots thus secure it. 1t is be-
cause of this need that the very shallow
cultivation is not as effective as that
three inches deep is likely to be.
Most farmers are familiar with the fact
that, after the middle of July, corn roots
throw up short fingers into the top soil,
reaching almost to the surface. This is
to take advantage of the nitrates and
other soluble salts which are concentrat-
ed there by capillarity. The dews of
night and the light summer showers dis
solve these salts, and then the roots are
able to procure them. To cultivate the
field after this condition has developed
will destroy these roots and thus prevent
the crop from utilizing the plant food
concentrated in this way.-New Eng land
