WHEN ASHCRAFTS Condi-
~ ton Powders are fed to horses
and mules, marked improvement
will be seen after the first few
doses. There is no doubt about it.
The Powders, acting directly on the
digestive organs, first thoroughly
cleanses the stomach and bowels,
correcting all disorders, and then
good healthy appetite comes nat
urally and surely. It is the most
powerful tonic and appetizer on
the market to-day, and when once
used horsemen will have no other.
Ashcraft's Powders produce that
silky sheen of coat and hair SO
admired by horse fanciers. The
Powders fatten but never bloat.
Always high grade and put up
in doses-never in bulk.
By the use of three or four doses
week your horse or mule will
not be subject to collie or any dis

How and When to Plant Sweet Pea.
"The sweet pea is d peculiar plant"
says Eben 3. Rexford, in L~ippincotf's
Magazine, sin some respects, q r.
quires treatment quite unlike maj
given other plants If we would awe Z
do its best. 1t must be planted very
early-as soon, in fact, as the ground
can be dug up to receive the seed. Lbs
because 1t is "a plant that does better
In cool weather than in heat, ana the
conditions which prevail in spring are
precisely those best suited to 1t III GET
ting q start. II it forms strong rools
before the hot weather is upon us. u
these roots are deep in the soil. where
they Will remain moist and cooL we
may expect fine flowers and a greag
many Of them, but If we give it q
shallow planting, which brings ifs
roots near the surface, and a late one,
which obliges it to get its start p

wonder If 1t disappoint us. The plant
follow with 1t is this: In April ! dle
V-shaped trenches about six inches
deep. l sow the seed in the bottom
Of these about an inch apart. / covef
it with about an inch Of soil, whichNl
press down firmly. When the PLANS
have grown to asheight of three inches
I fill in about them with some OF the
soil thrown out, from the trench.
continue to do this at intervals as the
vines reach up until the trench is hne&
In this way I succeed in getting TIE
roots Of the plants deep in cool, moiAt
soil. The best trellis for them is one
made by fastening .coarse-meshed wire
netting to posts. Itshouid be at least
six feet wide, as the sweet pea makes
a rampant growth under favorable
circumstances. In order to assure a
bountiful crop of flowers throughout
the season tt is absolutely necessary
to prevent the formation of seed. Go
over the vines daily and remove every
flower past its prime. If this advice 10
followed, we can have fine flowers,
and plenty of them, from June to No

Harvest Hand. Come High.

Farmers generally do not take kindly
to the report that field laborers will
ask 50 per day during the harvesting
season. Many consider that they will
be fortunate if they are able to pay
Sl.5O If the present condition of af-
fairs continues. The farmers have to
contend with a scarcity of help and
short crops, the latter condition making
1t almost impossible to advance the
laborers' wages.

Occupation and Character.

1t is not your occupation that deter
mines character; it is more likely that your
character win determine your occupation.
Occupation-granted that it is honest-is
not essential to character; a noble life can
be lived under the most adverse condi-
tions. White hands and a white pair OF
cuffs do not guarantee a white life; nor do
black hands determine the color Of the
heart within. The tailor does not make
characterize makes clothes, and his best
clothes sometimes cover the blacklist Of
hearts. 1t is a mistake for a lad to feel
that dirty hands indicate a lack of charac-
ter-not his occupation, nor his calling
but his moral purposes. There is one thing
only that may be called wrong IN any Occur
patton, no matter how high or how low; il
is when manhood is not possible in follow
ing it. The end of every occupation ought
to be, not money, but character, not only .
prosperous business, but a growing life
He who cannot see manhood emerge out of
the success Of his occupation or business il
in a bad business, and the sooner he Is out
of it the better, He who makes his living
by his wits may wear fine clothes, but he
is not thereby made a better man; he who
lives by his hands. hard and rough though
they may be. may be one of Gods gentle
men, if he wishes TO be.-Baptist Union.

Heapina II All on Tom.

In the Ohio Democracy everything
is going once more in the direction Of
the Hon. Tom JOHNSON Of Cleveland. II
we may accept the information collected
from different quarters OF the State
by the Hon. JOHN ROLL MCLEAN, TON
JOHNSON Is strong In the cities, strong in
the rural districts, strong in the sincere
support Of his late factional advesaries.
strong in the undiminished enthusiasm
OF his own henohmen. There will be
nothing says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
to impede JoHNsoN's policy in the
campaign
Then the Enquirer goes on to say:
BY the same token, there Win be nothing 70
prevent his responsibility for results
At first sight. this reminder Of undi-
vided responsibility for results might
seem TO modify the Hon. JOHN ROLL
McLEANs generous award of power to
the Hon. Tom JOHNSON.
But Tom was in control last year, too;
and he was responsible then, also, for
results. The result then was the defeat
OF his candidate for Secretary Of State.
the Rev. HERBERT BIoRLow, by a Re-
publican plurality Of more than 10000.
Now. IL after that result, the Hon. Tom
JOHNSON gets from the Hon. JOHN R.
MCLEAN q second and even more liberal
grant OF unrestricted power. what does
the warning Of undivided responsibility
amount to, anyway?
