AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS OF THE
PAST decade

The last ten years have witnessed a
great many changes in the number, size
and location of farms. In the later set
tied states and territories many new
farms were opened by settlement on the
public domain. In the older settled sec
tions of the southern and north central
states large number Of new farms were
called into being by the subdivision OF
the old estates iutO smaller holdings. In
the same parts Of the country the area
Of improved land was considerably ex-
tended, and the value Of farm invest
ments largely increased. The net ad-
ditions to farm resources in the decade,
stated in millions Of dollars, will exceed
the reported value of all farm invest
ments in 1850. In other words, the in
creased wealth of our farmers, as re-
suit of their best 10 years. labor, equals
the farm wealth Of the nation, reported
as the outcome of their toll and econ
omies from the settlement at jamestown
to the middle of the 10Th century.
What has been the effect OF these
changes upon the social and economic
condition of the masses engaged In the
cultivation of the soil? The people OF
this country are deeply interested 10 the
question, and for the answer thereto
will eagerly scan the bulletins OF the
census Of agriculture, which will begin
to appear in very few mo nths.-Re-
view of Reviews for March.

Another Wonderful
Cure of Scrotula.

So many people have been interested
In the case OF the South Atkinson
(Maine) baby, which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla cured of scrofula, it occurs to
US to add something concerning the
Rochester N. W baby, which Hoods
Sarsaparilla also cured of the same
disease.
The Rochester baby is the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. N. Guerinot, and he was
Q sufferer from one of the worst cases
of scrofula that ever existed.
Mrs. Guerinot voluntarily wrote the
propr;etors of Hoods Sarsaparilla on
the list of January, 19OO-and that was,
indeed, q Happy New Year to her.
Her letter is too long to be repro
duced here, but what follows is the
substance of it:
When the baby was three months
old sores came out on his body, first
on bis neck and then on his back,
which became literally mass of sores,
raw, and bleeding.
The discharge from the sores was 30
profuse that it was necessary to change
the bandages three times day, and
every time they were changed his cries
WcI6 ucdIUICuuihSs
He was restless and sleepless, and
was 80 rapidly reduced in strength
and flesh that his recovery became
extremely doubtful - even his mother
almost despaired of it..
When many medicines had been
used, and he had been professionally
attended for three months, to no pur-
pose whatever, treatment was begun
with Hoods Sarssparilla, on the
recommendation of Mrs. Guerinot's
mother, who had used this medicine
with satisfaction in her own family,
together with Hoods Medicated Soap
and Hoods Olive Ointment.
Incredible as it may seem, a change
for the better was noticed within two
days after this treatment was begun.
The sores had not changed much in
so short a time, but the baby cried
less, twitched his body less, and in
other ways gave assurance that the
proper treatment had at last been
entered upon. ,,
Day by day, slowly but perceptibly,
the discharge grew less, the infiam-
nation subsided, the surrounding skin
took on more healthy color, and
what had been q mass OF raw hesh
began to heal II and it healed without
scar or blemish.
"And now," wrote Mrs. Guerinot,
"at eight months Of age, he Is as
bright, healthy, and well grown as
any child of that age. Less than two
bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla, aided
by Hoods Medicated Soap and Hoods
Olive Ointment, accomplished this
wonderful cure.
"I cannot begin to express my graf
itude towards Hoods Sarsaparilla and
YOUR other medicines for the good they
accomplished in my baby's case, rem.
dering me the greatest service ! could
wish - that Of saving my boy"
This ID the condensed story OF the
wonderful cure Of the Rochester baby
by Hoods Sarsaparills, and If there
is any medicine IN the world equal to
this We do not know what II q.
Ample proof Of it, efficacy has been
given, as il were, at your very door,
In the case Of the baby of Mrs. W. e.
Tewksbury, Of South Atkinson.

Hood preparations, are sold BY al

THE TeLePHoNe IN the couNTRy

THE TELEPHONE IN THE COUNTRY.
The enlightened world is marching on
to new conditions. In the lives Of the
people Of the days now gone into the
past there was much to be commended,
much that was Influential in making
them the strong men and the noble
women they were, much that contribut-
ed to the filling Of their lives with AS
much OF pleasure and enjoyment as need
oe desired, and as will ever be the expe-
rience of life. Yet those conditions are
passing away to make room for a new
life, in new realm, and shaped and
filled up with new and radio ally different
surroundings. However much thur. wa.
TO admire in that which has passed by,
it is gone to make room for the progress
that is steadily and certainly marching
on.
Nowhere are changes more marked
than in the country towns. We have
only to look back but for decade TO
find the evidence of the rapid changes
going on around US. The electrics, the
telephone and free mail delivery have
already made their entry. Nothing can

tres, and enable the lady of the house,
from her own sitting-room, to gossip
with the neighbOrs or communicate with
the city at pleasure, while the post boy
deposits the daily mail at the door.
These are privileges that are annihilat-
ing the isolation and monOtony OF rural
life, and cannot fail to render the coun-
try more inviting to the man of leisure
and more convenient for the man of
business. Thus will the present drift Of
population from the rural towns to the
city be in measure checked, while tine
residents of the town will be attracted
by the increased privileges of the coun-
try.
These changes are going on among us
and nothing can stay their further and
even more rapid progress.-Maine

The ideal had in view by those who

that the crowd screamed with laughter.

Pruns Back tho Top and Give It Plenty
of Good Soil.
The failure or success of the young
tree for the first two or three seasons
Ser planting out depends largely on
how this work is done. The young
tree as it comes from the nursery row
has been deprived in digging of prob
ably half it's roots, whose office is to
supply nourishment to the top or to
the branches and leaves. The supply
thus diminished so considerably ne
cessitates a rather severe pruning of
the top, cutting away an amount pro-
portionate to the amount of roots or
rootlets left behind in digging. The
pruning should be done just before
planting the tree, using sharp knife.
Cut away about three-fourths of the
top, preserving strong center shoot
or leader, which should be cut back
well. The lower lateral branches
should be left longer than the upper,
which should be pruned back rather
severely. Any broken or injured roots
should also be pruned so that the ends
will be smooth. In planting the tree
in the ground set it no deeper than it
grew in the nursery, which depth may
be determined by the discoloration of
the bark at the base, says writer in
the Woman's Home Companion. Let
the roots rest on bed of well-loosened
soil. Replace the subsoil or clay at
the bottom of the excavation with top
soil and let the excavation be some
what larger than merely necessary to
accommodate the roots. Fill in about
the roots with pulveriZed soil, using
the hand to perform the work. After
the roots are covered tread the soil
well with the feet. All the soil used
for filing should be trodden down
firmly. After the tree is planted stake
it and tie to the stake, or better still,
make a compac, hard mound of soil
about the base of the tree, to prevent
the wind from whipping it about. In
the spring remove the mound. Dur
ing the first few seasons the young
tree should be well mulched with ma.
nure or grass clippings winter and
summer.
