AS the sting of bee is considered
IN he acid, an alkali should be en-
ployed to relieve it. Ammonia or
soft soap would therefore be good
application.
In an emergency any OF the fol-
lowing might be helpful to reduce
swelling or to relieve pain: Vinegar,
olive oil, raw onion, paste made OF
CLAW and water, or -four and water,
or salt and water, tobacco juice, tine
ture of arnica, honey or laudanum.

be a good remedy.
= Bee stings are exceedingly danger
bus to- some people. A well known
gentleman was stung by a bee near
tbe base of the brain, and the poison
killed him in few minutes in spite
of heroic remedies.
A bee sting about the face is liable
to produce large swellings, and they
have been known to tester and
threaten blood poisoning in a few
hours.

are located. II Is well TO keep In

FRUIT SPECIALISTS.
Time Control the Markets All
Over the Country.

Prof. Green, of Minnesota, is quoted
as saying that the time is coming when
fruit will be grown only by specialists.
He says-or it is said that he says
that the ordinary man is too careless
and shiftless and Intellectual in his
treatment of fruit trees. He cannot
compete with the man who makes a
speciality of fruit growing and who
cares for his orchards in the be st ways
known. Prof. Green is perfectly safe
in such prediction. In fact, he might
pass it for statement Of present fact
and not be so very far wrong. There
are still good many farmers who
grow fruit as "side line" without any
particular care for the best methods;
but anyone may observe that they cut
a wonderfully small figure in the mar
kets. A good illustration of the stu.
alton came to notice last fall. In one
neighborhood the apple buyers were
thick and prices were good-$1.50 to
three dollars barrel. In another
neighborhood in the same state apples
were rotting on the ground by the
hundreds of bushels and prices ranged
from rs cents barrel down to nothing
at all, with the barrel thrown in. The
difference was merely that the former
neighborhood had reputation for
apples based on the careful work of
many professional apple growers,
while the other neighborhood had
grown it's apples con the side" The
same thing can be observed in the peach
growing business, and still more plain
~ in the pear growing business. The
strawberry business, too, is practically
all in the hands of specialists. This is
good thing and II ought to be encour-
aged, the only mitigating considera-
ton being that this condition discour-
ages some farmers who ought to grow
fruit for their own use, but who are
giving 1t up because they have been
crowded out of the market by the spe-
cialists.-Country Gentleman.

SOLID EARTH ROADS.
Under Favorable Conditions They
Are the Most Pleasant for Driv-
Ing and Best for Horses.


Prof. Charles H. Pettee, of the New
Hampshire agricultural college, says:
An earth road is one surfaced with
large per cent. of earth, which may
be sand, clay, hardpan, loan, or a
mixture of some of these. A very
common idea of an earth road is one
surfaced with the natural material
where the road is built. This de-
scription, though generally charac.
teristic, does not give the true dis
tinction between these and gravel
ones and may convey an entirely
wrong impression. The true distinc-
ton lies in the predominance OF
earth over rock or the reverse in the
surfacing material. Again, it will be
seen that the gravel road is inter.
mediate between the earth and the
macadam and that there is no abso.
lutte line separating the earth from
the gravel or the gravel from the
macadam. The latter statement will
appear evident if we consider that Il
makes no difference whether the
stone for macadam road has been
prepared by a stone crusher or
broken by the processes of nature
and deposited in gravel banks during
the glacial epoch.
The earth road, under favorable
conditions of moisture and repair,
is the smoothest, most elastic, and
most pleasant for pleasure driving
of any in existence. 1t is safest for
horses feet and, where the natural
soil is favorable, is by far the cheap
est both as regards construction and
repair. On the other hand, if it is
an ideal summer road, it is reason
ably sure to be muddy and rough for
perhaps two months in the spring
as well as during the following heavy
rains at other seasons. In short, it's
perfection for all seasons is appar-
emily impossible and it depends upon
constant, though inexpensive, atten-
ton to minute repairs for it's favor
able condition during limited sea-
son.
1t thus appears that, if we aim at
durability, nothing less than body
of rock will keep us up out of the
mud in the spring; that this will
render the surface too dry for COM
fort and durability during the sum-
mer, and that the more expensive
and more perfect the surface con-
structed upon this foundation, the
more expensive and more difficult
the matter of repair. In the city
sprinkling has given greater durabil-
ity and comfort to the macadam sur
face, and the heavy expense for con-
struction and maintenance can often
be easily borne. In the country these
favorable conditions are usually abb
sent. Some have attempted to find in
the gravel road the safe middle
course between the earth and the
macadam. They do not, however, ap-
pear to have wholly succeeded.
Smoothness, elasticity, freedom from
dust, low cost and cheapness of main
tenance seem to be thus far more
or less incompatible with durability
and constancy throughout the year

BETTER THAN CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.

Jetmore, Kan, July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr.. G..
G. Jones, of Burdett, and one of the
most popular ladies in Hodgeman
County, has been martyr to head
ache for years. 1t has made her life
a continual misery to her. She suf-
fered pains in the small Of the back,
and had every symptom of Kidney
and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is as well as any lady
in the state.
This remarkable change was due
entirely, to q remedy recently intro
duced here. 1t is called Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and many people claim it to
be an infallible cure for Kidney Dis
eases, rheumatism and Heart
Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose she grew better. In week her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be
universally used, and already the de-
mand for these pills has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars
of Mrs. Freeman's case and it's cure
are known.
