St. Jacobs oil.

In cases where bronchitis has become chronic from want ot proper treatment in the earlier stages, there Is nothing so good as Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an out ward application, along the. front, of, the throat, from close up under the chin to well down to the top of the chest; the one rem edy assists the other, and, as intended, they work in complete unison. The wonderful penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil en- ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign matter which lines the bronchial tubes and which makes breathing more and more diff hcult As these adhesions become inflamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such ad hesons to break away, making expectora- tion easier and more free. Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and very hot, soothes and heals the parts, is comforting and quieting, stops the cough and relieves the breathing. This manner of treatment (and there Is no other two cessfully) reaches the difficulty from the St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad- hesion, and assists Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then both remedies act in unison in healing and curing. The above remarks apply with equal force in cases of asthma, croup, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils, and all bronchial affections. Every family should have St. Jacobs Oil and Dr. August Koenig's Ham burg Breast Tea always in the house Tn or der that they may be promptly used in the first stages. Often the maladies develope with wonderful rapidity, and complications take place with equal suddenness.

Paving Roads with Straw

The farmers of Walla Walla eoun- ty, Wash, are trying the experiment of laying their roads with straw to improve them. The country will have it's second annual straw day next month. Every fall the high ways became deep with dust, mak- ing travel hard on man and beast. Heavy rains meant mud, and the dust could not be removed without destroying the roadway It then oc- cured to an enterprising individual that if all the farmers would contrib ute straw, and all hands assist in laying it on the roads most travelled. there would be great change for the better The experiment was de- cided success. The farmers turned out in force, plenty of straw was of fered, ready hands laid it to the depth C a foot or more on the main thoroughfares of the county, and travelling became easy. Three hun dred miles of roads will be covered with straw.

A MODEL STORAGE PIT.
It Keeps Vegetables from Freezing During Winter and from Crow
 ing During Summer

Che of the most serious problems for vegetable growers is to secure a storage place which will keep vege- tables from freezing during winter and also prevent them from shrink
 ing and growing during summer. Numerous plans have been used, some of them with most satisfactory results. In the northwest, Mr. $. J. Fairfield, of Minnesota, describes his method in a recent issue of the Min nesota institute bulletin. Quoting his own language, he says: ''I want firm, hard seed potatoes from which no sprouts have ever grown. To se- cure these, the potatoes should be put in cave prepared especially for this purpose and so arranged as to control the temperature in winter and summer, keeping it as near to the freezing point as possible. Put the potatoes right in on the earth and keep them dark. In this way
