MAKING A HOTBED.

proper heating of he beds. may not

RepInnting an old Orchard

1t is probable that the land on
which an old apple orchard stood is
not very rich, and has been in sod
Tor long time. 1t would almost
certainly be well to have the soil
thoroughly plowed and cultivated in
some such crop as potatoes for a
year before planting to orchard
again. OF course fertilizers should
be applied. Stable manure is very
good. and so are such commercial
manures as contain plenty of potash.

THE MOST WIDELY READ NEWSPAPER
IN AMERICA.
Time has demonstrated that the

its class. Other papers have initiated
its form but not its success. This is
because it tells all the news all the

that news be political or otherwise.
1t is, in fact, almost "A daily at the
price of a weekly and you cannot af-
ford to be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the Thrice-a-W World with
absolute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
ilrst-class serial stories and other fea-

When things are "the best they
become ''the best selling.'' Abraham
Hare, a leading druggist of BelleviIle,
o., writes: "Electric Bitters are the
best selling bitters 1 have handled in
20 years." You know why? Most
diseases begin in disorders OF stom-
ach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and
nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the
stomach, regulates liver, kidneys
and bowels, 1purifies the blood,
strengthens the nerves, hence cures
mulitudes OF maladies. It builds up
the entire system. Puts new life and
vigor into any weak, sick1y, rundown
man or woman. Price SO cents.

The eyes Of the world are set upon
the Red River valley in Minnesota.
Never has there been such general
inquiry concerning our fertile lands.
which will remnin cheap but q lit tie
longer, and never before has there
been SO determined Efforts put forth
by people Of other states to obtain
possession of some OF this land. A
gentleman who has Travelled extens..'

that while formerly no one knew or
cared any thing for the Red River
valley, now wherever one goes, in
Iowa, Illinois and other states, the
keenest interest is manifested when
that section OF country is mentioned
and many have relatives or friends
who have gone orcontemplate going
there to build themselves homes
Farmers with expanding families are
selling their small high priced farms
and investing the proceeds in our
cheaper lands, which will raise every
thing that Iowa or Illinois lands can
with the exception perhaps of corn,
and even that is not conceded. Ev-
cry year the corn belt is creeping tar,
Their north: Moneyed men recognize
the substantial qualities Of our soil,
and are eager to investgtheir surplus
in lands at present prices, certain OF
rapid advancement. We have had y
large influx of settlers from the fore
mentioned states and other states of
the u ion, during the past year, but
we are told that it. il but the foreruh-
ner to amuch larger number that
will come ext year. Verify, the eyes

In the death of LII Hung Chang
China has lost her foremost states
man and the world a truly great
man. Though he was a Chinaman
through and through, yet he realized
fully the necessity for China to adopt
modern progressive ideas, and he
die as much as it was possible for
one man to do to raise his country
mpn from the lethargy OF centuries.
Many a time when his country was
in trouble has he been called to the
Rescue. In settling the vexed ques-
tjrns growing out of the Boxer up
rising when even the ACKNOWLEDGMENT

China from it's peri|ous position, land

MAY Have Kansas Oysters.

The projected big artificial lake In
Barton county, Kansas, will be made.
The company that is pushing the enter
prise has won in the Supreme Court
and all that is necessary to do now Is
to widen the ditch from the river so
that the flood waters can be turned
in when they come down the noun
tains. The lake when filled will be
about seven miles wide on an average
and nearly fourteen miles long. It
will be the greatest artificial body Of
water in the United States, and prob
ably in the world.
With the reasonable certainty that
the lake will be completed, the talk Of
establishing an oyster bed is revived.
There is salt spring in the bottom
that will be covered with the water OF
the lake. The proposition is to mingle
the salt waters of the spring with the
fresh water of the river in proportion
to suit the taste of the ocean oyster
and then plant colony of bivalves In
the prepared bed A Barton county
man said that this oyster project Is a
probability that will become reality.
