WHAT'S IN A NAME
(bsnson's plastar Ia PAINS Masier J

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur.
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames d Son, was
synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is "good" plaster does
not describe it g; 10 is The best possible plaster
For every. disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have n good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back.
etc, are at once benefited and soon cured
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received .ftty.fue highest d'oards.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.

shot in field shooting, but ne prefers

lie Roy is the son of John McDer-

years past, using gun belonging to his
elder brother. 1t was only last year,
however, that he was given full rights
by his mother, who even yet is a little
uncertain as to the propriety of so small
boy doing what he pleases with a
gun. Last year his skill was noticed
by number of old hands at Monmouth

Climate and SOil-Complete Ferti-
Iiser-CurinH the Hay Crop.
The oat plant succeeds best in a
cool, moist climate. The oat is great
forager and will grow on poorer soil
than wheat or barley. 1t thrives best
and natures the plumpest grain on
rather light soil we'll supplied with
moisture and sufficiently early to al
low the oats to be sown the last of
April or first of May. Late sown oats
are liable to rust before the grain ma
lures.
Although oats will grow and yield
moderate crops on poorer soils than
most other cereals, they respond readi-
ly and profitably to liberal applications
Of manure. Too heavy applications of
stable manures or heterogeneous fertili-
Zers are liable to cause an excessive
growth Of straw at the expense of the
grain. Oats require less nitrogen than
wheat and are greatly benefited by lib
eral quantities Of phosphoric acid. If
stable manure Is employed. only a
light coat should be added and then a
supplementary dressing of acid phos-
phate applied.
For complete fertilizer it is rec
commended to use one carrying about
2.5 per cent nitrogen, per cent avail
able phosphoric acid and 3 per cent
potash. A part of the nitrogen, at
least % per cent, should be in a solu-
BILE form as In nitrate of soda and the
remainder in some more insoluble
form as tankage, ground fish or bone
In order that the young plant may be
made vigorous and thrifty by the for
mer, while the older plant can be kept
growing by the latter.
Finely ground bone meal with small
amounts Of nitrate of soda and muri-
ate of potash are recommended as a
fertilizer for this crop.

cry farm. As they are now manufac-
tured they can be used on steep hill
their work quickly and well. After
the corn is planted and before 1t has
appeared above ground the spike tooth
harrow may be used. This will keep
the surface soil loose and destroy
weeds and grass in the row which 9TH
erwise would have to be removed by
hand. The wheel cultivator may then
be taken to the cornfield and set to
work When the corn Is small, the
fine teeth with shields should be used
on the cultivator and they should be
run as close TO the corn plants as pos
sible without digging them out. The
first cultivation of corn is a most i'm
portant one. If the cultiyator is kept
far from the corn row for fear of up
roofing corn, 1t gives weeds and grass
a chance to grow. Cultivate close to
the corn and deep at the first working.
AS the corn plants get larger the
broader teeth may be put upon the cur
tivator, and the dirt will thus be made
to cover the weeds and grass in the
row. AS corn is now very generally
planted for silage the rows run but
one way. This method Of planting
makes 1t all the more imperative that
the tillage shall be thorough. The
wheel cultivator lessons labor, In
creases production and enables the
farmer to care for crop Of corn or

Farming with Flesh and Blood.

The last report of Consul Wildman
Of Kongkong, who was lost in the
sinking Of the ship Rio de Janeiro in
San Francisco harbor makes it plain
that there Is small show for American
agricultural machinery in southern
China. He stated that the agricultural
land there is divided into small hold
ings, many not over one acre in ex-
tent. All cultivation and reaping are
by hand. Plows are most primitive
and of home construction. Labor has
almost no value, and flesh and blood
is the cheapest thing on the market.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
Do What You Can.

There was once farmer who had a
large field of corn. He plowed it and
planted the corn and narrowed and
weeded it with great care, and on his
field he depended for the chief support
of his family. But after he had worked
hard he saw the corn begin to wither
and droop for rain. He felt very sad
and went over every day to look at his
corn and see If there was any hope of
rain.
One day he stood looking at the sky
and almost in despair. Two little rain
drops up in the clouds over his head
saw him, and one said to the other:
Look at that farmer. | feel sorry
for him. He has taken so much pains
with his field of corn, and now 1t is
drying up. l wish l could do him some
good"
Yes" said the other; but you are
only a little raindrop. What can you
do? You can't even wet one hillock"
We'll" said the first, Ito be sure, |

farmer little at any rate. and am re-

The first raindrop had no sooner
started for the field than the second
one said:
We'll, if you are going believe l
will go too. Here l come" And down
went the raindrops. One came pat on
the farmers nose and fell on a stalk
of corn. Dear me-" said the farmer,
putting his finger to his nose, whats
that "a raindrop? Where did that
come from? do believe we shall have

BY this time great many raindrops
had come together to hear what their
companions were talking about, and
when they saw them going TO cheer the
farmer and water the corn one said:
IF you are going on such a good err
rand, I'll go too" And down he came.

on till whole shower came, and the
