Constipation and
Headache

There is comfort in the knowledge that
so many forms of illness are not due to an
actual diseased condition of the system but
simply from constipation, which Vogeler's
Curative Compound promptly and effectualy
removes; it is pleasant family laxative,
blood purifier and health restorer. 1t is the
only known medicine that promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the organs
on which it acts. Constipation and dyspepsia
are national evils: they aftlict the human
race everywhere and it is most fortunate
thing that an eminent London physician,
actuated purely from philanthropic motives,
gave to the world a remedy for the cure of
these ailments He has given us the benefit
of his long experience, guided by many years
constant and successful practice in the West
End of London. Sample bottle sent free.

A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
How Many Bundles Can You Bind tor ,
Oollsr7

To the Editor: Dear Sir-I noticed
in your last issue an article headed
"Points on Binding Twine," in which
you call attention to the fact that the
farmer should figure on how many feet
he gets for dollar. Anyone, without
much thought, would know that is the
important thing, and still we overlook
it, being caught by the old bait OF
cheap price. 1t is not a question
whether the Irvine costs 10 cents a
pound or 90 cents a pound, but the es.
sential point is how many bundles can
we bind for dollar.
Last year was deceived in thinking
that the Standard Manila was a Manila
Irvine that would go 900 feet to the
pound, which impression l got from
the dealer, although he may not posi-
lively have stated that as fact. but
one thing I do know is that the result
at the end of harvest was that the total
cost OF my Irvine was more, although it
was less in price per pound than it for
merly had been when l used the Red
Clover Leaf brand of Irvine, which we
all know costs more per pound, but
which l am now convinced is the
cheapest and most satisfactory in the
end. We have all used it for a good
many years with pretty general salts
faction, but, in this as in other things.
we teel that it is necessary to make Il
change, in order, as we imagine, to bet.
ter our condition, and most generally
find that the change does not accom-
plish what we expected.
The Manila Irvine, being cheaper per
thousand feet than Sisal, from patriotic
motives we ought to use it, as all the
Manila fiber in the world is produced
in the Philippine Islands, and it is GER
tainly to the interest of the Pacific
Coast farmer to develop trade with that
country as much as possible, and
have read that all the Sisal comes from
Yucatan, with which country we can
have no trade from this coast, and as
long as it does not cost us anything to
be patriotic and trade with our own col
onies, why shouldn't we do it?

WHERE THE COD WINTERS.
They and HaddOck Found at Great
Depths in Sea.

They and HaddOck Fonnd at Great
Depths in Sea.
DIR. Hart has made the remarka bic
discovery that away out in the open
sea, where it was several thousands OF
meters in depth, he found fish as it
We're in layers or ocean strata. Some re-
quired line as long as a monument to
reach down to them; others were in
still lower depths which would sub
top. and with many thousand feet of
water below them.
There in these still and dark and
hitherto supposed barren regions of the
sea he caught great cod and paddock,
sometimes in quantities. The import
ance Of this discovery is that it proves
that not only fish brood, but mature
fish also, exist in the ocean. and that
what have been looked upon as typical
ground fish, and local sorts are to
be found at other places as well as
near the coasts.
Not of the least significance is the
finding of cod in the deep places of
the sea. says the Nineteenth Century,
as in this discovery we have the key
to solve the mystery as to where the
cod abides when he withdraws from
the coasts. In the great cod fisheries
off the coast of Newfoundland the fish
ermen find the fish at the commence
ment of the season in April in the
shallow water near the shore and use
their lines of thirty or forty feet, in
creasing the depth as they find the
fish receding. until they have to fish
at over POO feet for them in Decent

An Item in ROad.Making.

1t is n common error in road making
to endeavOr to secure routes covering
the shortest distance between fixed
points. For this purpose the road is
often made to go over hill instead Of
around it. A road halfway around Il
hill or through valley is sometimes
no longer than a road over hill. The
difference in the length even between a
straight road and one that Is slightly
curved is less than many suppose.
