SORES AND
ULCERS

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood Is in poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw of
the poisons that accumulate in il. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should It heal before
the blood has been made pure and healsAw
and allimrurities eliminated from the sys-
tenn. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating this blood, building

When this has been accomplished the dis.
charge gradually ceases, and the sore OF
ulcer heals. Itis the tendency Of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. s. s. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, 1t will bring relief when nothing
else can. 1t supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and ncurish
the debilitated, diseased body.

Destroying Insects In Winter.


Many of our most destructive insects
pass the winter either among matted
prostrate grass. among fallen leaves or
especially along Usage hedges. lanes
and fence corners. Wherever such
places can be burned over In late fall,
winter or early spring the effect will be
to destroy many of these. Instead OF
having the annual clearing up in May,
as many dc who clear up their prem
ises at all, this should be done during
the seasons above mentioned, as by
May many of the destructive insects
have left their winter quarters and are
beyond reach.
In the orchard the falling of the
leaves will reveal cocoons and even In.
Sects themselves upon the trees that
cannot De easily detected while the TO
liage is still hanging to these trees
Many insects pass the winter within 9

twig to prevent 1t from dropping of
and in this way deceive the eye of the
orchardist. 1t will pay to go over the
orchard and remove all of the cocoons
and dried leaves still clinging to the

to the sack and, carefully taking 1t by
the middle so that neither end will
drag on the ground, walks sedately to
the store, where he lays the sack down
behind the counter by the side of the
wooden letter case into which the mail
Is soon distributed.
Day after day he performs this task,
rain or shine. The mail clerk watches
for him, and the people of the COM
munity are as proud Of him as they
would be of bright child.
Nep is 4 years old. but Is 2 feet 7
inches In height and weighs go
pounds. He has no difficulty In carry
Ing the sack. though the mail Is often
very heavy with the weekly papers
from the county seat. for his teeth are
strong, and he has carried over 100
pounds as a test of his strength.
He seems likely to perform the semi
official task for many years to come.
and the people Of his community think
that he Is entitled to salary.
The trainmen do not forget to throw
off something nice for him to eat on
holidays, but even though the gift is
toothsome bit of game or other meat
he never touches 1t until the mail Of

1t is claimed very generally by clo-
yer growers that field upon which a
good crop of clover Is grown for two
successive years will when replowed
and planted to corn yield from 10 to %
bushels more corn per acre than it did
before sown to clover or than similar
land by its side will which has not been
thus treated. The percentage Of In
crease is quite as large In raising
wheat. oats. potatoes and other crops.
The plant draws nitrogen from the air
and stores 1t in the soil for the use Of
succeeding crops. The roots Of the clo-
yer penetrate to great depth In the
unplowed subsoil. drawing nutriment
therefrom, assisting In holding mois-
ture. which when the roots die and de-
cay increase the fertility of the soil as
well as the storing capacity for mois-
ture and with its sister. alfalfa. has
justly earned the name of the silent
subsoller." whose success and efficien-
cy are generally admitted and admired.

RAPE AND VETCH.
Green soiling and Cover Crops.

Green soiling and Cover Crops.
vetch q Nitrogen Gatherer.
AS a crop for green soiling and as a
cover crop rape Is rapidly growing in
favor. 1t has been found that the
crucIfers, as rape and turnips and mus
tards, will grow fairly well where
many other less hardy plants will fail
entirely. During the past summer
rape sown about Aug. made good
growth, and the ground is now COW
cred thickly with the plants. They
will not grow in this latitude (New
York; through the winter. yet the tops
form a valuable covering for the soil,
says Country Gentleman, which gives
the following information about rape
and vetch: Where rape is sown for a
cover crop 1t would be we'll to SOW not
more than three pounds of rape seed
per acre and to SOW with II four quarts
Of red clover or the mammoth clover
seed. IL In a locality where clover
does not produce we'll then one bushel
of rye may be sown per acre with the
rape. The long cow horn turnip is
also a valuable soillng crop.
Vetch belongs to the legumlnous or
der of plants and Is supposed to be like
the cloyers, capable Of securing part
Of Its nitrogen from the free nitrogen
Of the air. There are two varieties of
vetch In common USE Vicia saliva, or
spring vetch and Vicia villosa, or the
sand vetch. The variety most COM
monty grown is the Vicia, saliva. 1t
grows best in a cool, moist climate, yet
1t may be grown successfully in almost
every section OF the United States.
This plant. like rape. Is used for two
purposes, as food for animals and as
crop for green soillng. AS food for
animals 1t ranks high. 1t Is rich In
protein. furnishing an ideal ration for
milk cows. The vetch plant Is weak
and IL grown alone will fall to the
ground, where II is likely to undergo
decomposition before 1t natures. 1t is
better sown with oats or barley, prefer
ably oats. In the southern states the
climate of summer would be too hot
for the successful growth Of the plants,
Out II Souid DC So0 III tuC tai WIN
winter oats and would be In condition
for feeding In early spring.
Vetches will grow well where peas
will grow. A clay loan Is preferable
to a sandy soil. In fitting the land for
vetches 1t should be given as thorough
preparation as when fitted for oats or
corn. Where vetch Is sown alone about
one bushel Of seed per acre should be
used. When vetch Is sown with oats
or rye, from one bushel to one and
half bushels Of oats or rye should be
mixed with three pecks of vetch seed
for one acre. IL rye be sown with
vetch. one bushel of rye and three
pecks of yetch seed will be sufficient
for one acre. The seed may be put In
with drill or be sowL broadcast and
narrowed In. Drilling Il preferable, as
1t will then be more evenly covered
with soil.
If the vetch is to be fed to live stock
green. cutting should begin when the
plants are In blossom and may con-
tinue until the plants are In the early
stages Of maturity. When cut for hay,
allow the plants to develop until ap-
preaching maturity. when cut and cure
same as clover hay.

ing 1t to others. The house here de-
scriSed can be built for a moderate
sum, and the man who devised II had
in view points not always considered.
He Is thus quoted In Ohio Farmer:
The convenience of the house built
for the storing OF ice for a family sup
ply Is of as great Importance as its
ability to keep the Ice from melting.
The time of storing occupies but a day
or two and that at q time of the year
when the farmer is not busy but dur
ing the hot months when Ice Is In daily
use the farmer 10 a busy n.::=:. The
chores ought to be few and quickly
done. The filling of the refrigerator
and the placing Of ice for the dairy
from the average icehouse is q daily
task that is laborious. In view Of
these facts l put off building an Ice
house until was satisfied that l could
build one which | could enter without
closing the door. loosen the Ice desired
and carry 1t out. all without having to
uncover the remaining Ice each time
and still have II keep well.
My house is built as follows: 1t is 16
by 20 feet and 8 feet high to the square.
The rafters are Is feet long. making a
roof with very steep pitch. The
house is built with three walls, making
two spaces. the inner one to be filled
with dry sawdust and the outer for the
circulation of air. The inner space Is
one foot wide and is continued up the
rafters to within three feet of the
comb, while the outer space Is six inch
es and Is continued on the ends up to
the comb. This leaves an opening of
but by 13 feet on each side of the
roof. which Is not lined with sawdust.
Close up at the top Of each gable Is 2
by window for ventilation. The door
Is by 51a feet. Is in the gable and ID g
inches thick, divided into three air
spaces and Is nearly alright when
closed.
The foundation was made by using
sawed railroad ties laid on short blocks

The Buff Leghorn. variant of the
already existing chamois Leghorn of
Denmark and Italy. was the creation
of Mrs. Lister Kay, a fair farmeress in
England. Her old birds are fed twice
day. They have soft food In the
mornings and wheat at nights, the
young ones getting three meals day.
The originator of the Buff Leghorn has
much that is useful to say upon the
egg producing qualities of the breed
and its unsuitability for table use, and
she finds with her Leghorns, as with
all other varieties. that 1t is very diff
cult to obtain the good meat maker
and the good layer in one and the same
bird.

OF all the mail carriers that Uncle
Sam has in this big country none Is
more novel than a dog out In central
Kansas, whose duty it is to meet a
passenger train twice daily and take
the heavy mail sack to his masters
store. The postoffice at Dayton Is a
little country trading point, and the
single store is 80 rods from the Missou-
ri Pacific track, where, morning and
night, the passenger train goes whiz-
zing past at 80 miles an hour. From
the mail car a leather sack is thrown
off by the mail clerk, and the post
master, the owner of the big st. Ber-
nard, Nep. Is supposed to pick 1t up
and take 1t to the store. He used to do
so, but now the duty devolves upon the
dog, who has learned to do 1t well.
When the sharp whistle of the train
Is heard. Nep gives an excited bark
and hurries to the crossing and waits
for the coming of the mail The mail
clerk kicks the leather bag out of the
car door and 1t falls somewhere In the
