berry Culture.

The best growers OF bush fruits
make it a practice to carry their fields
no longer than six to nine years. At
ter this time they are plowed up, new
fields being set in the meantime to
keep the crop going. There are va
rious reasons why a bed of raspber-
ries or blackberries deteriorates after
certain number Of years. The plants
become weakened with age they are
attacked by insects or disease, and
they do not produce young fruiting
wood with anything like their pris-
tine ylgor. Further than that, the
soil becomes exhausted more or less
of elements of fertility. Rotation of
crops is favorable TO success in all
lines of agriculture. and not less So
with fruit crops than with Others.
We therefore suggest, as being very
strongly indicated by thu symptoms,
that it viii be best for you 20 set
new field of blackberries at once, and
to plow up the old one as soon as the
new one comes into bearing In set
ting a new field, we would insist upon
fresh plants from some good nursery
or from some grower who makes a
specially Of growing plants 1t is very
poor practice and poor economy to
take plants from an old field. In case
the old field is infected with disease,

A Plan for Transforming Employees.

New York, May 1s.-The Gorham
Manufacturing company. the prominent
silversmiths of New York and Provi-
dence, r. l.. has recently put into oper-
alton a practical plan for pensioning
their $500 employees in factory and
stores which has been most favorably
commented upon by leading sociolog-
lists
This plan provides that any employe
whose record is satisfactory to the COM
pany may be placed upon a permanent
pension roll. provided he has served the
company for at least twenty-five years,
and receive thereafter as long as he
lives, a pension equal to one per cent of
his wage at the time of retirement for
each year of service. Thus a man who
has been with the Gorham company
forty years will receive an annual pen
sion payable In monthly installments of
forty per cent of the amount he was
being paid at the time he retired
Ample provision has been made by the
company to create a permanent pension
fund without taxing the employees for
the purpose.

Cure catarrh by Natures Own neth-
delivery Breath of tIyOmei Brings


KSuGts
Nearly everyone who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
it by drugging the stomach. Tenn
porary relief may be given, but a cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have a change of climate;
but now with Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few min
utes four times a day soon cure your
self
The complete outfit of Hyomei costs
but s1.00 and consists OF an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket a
medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime.
and if one bottle does not cure, an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for SO cents. It IS the most economical
of all remedies advertised for the cure
OF catarrh. and is the only one that fol-
lows nature in her method of treating
diseases of the respiratory organs.
Geo. w. Stansheld. 632 Kansas avenue
Topeka, sold hundreds Of Hyomei out
fits and the more he sells, the more
convinced he is that he is perfectly safe
in guaranteeing to refund the money if
HyOmei does not cure.
