THE keynote to success in husi-
ness is push, which is but another
word for energy. One may have
sterling honesty, good taste and ex-
cellent judgment, but If he be not
instant in season, he will not make
a success cf his life. Competition
in trade has become so active that il
is the live, pushing men only who
succeed. 1t IS significant that it is
the most energetic who advertise
most. They regard advertising a:
prime necessity to success, and
they consider every dollar so spen,
~ a sure investment. Exchange.

for each branch
Our way assures good work in five branch

makes skill. The usual way secures good
work in one branch only, because nearly
every dentist makes one branch his hobby
and neglects the other four.
Specialists not only do better work, but
with less pain than others, because they
work more deity and gently.
They do work cheaper, too because they

they find that in most Towering plant:
the total quantity OF sulphur increases
continually from c:il.: cation to inl!or-
essence, but the relative quantity is
about one-third higher in the carrier
stages of growth. The organic sulphur
reaches its maximum when the plant is
in flower and afterwaru decreases. Or
ganic sulphur is formed in the roots
during the time of Towering, so it is
probable the sulphur is not absorbed
from the soil entirely in the form Of
sulphates.
The proportion Of the two forms of
sulphur in the seeds varies considera-
bly, in different species of plants. The
final reduction of the proportion of or
ganic sulphur is partly cue to elimina.

and partly to reoxidation during fruc.

Corbett.s Chances.

If the opinions of experts on pugil-

have few hackers among students of
the game for his fight With .Jeffries in
Frisco Aug. ii. The general belief is
that Corbett is going to sure defeat.

bettor on fights, recently stated that il
any of Corbctt's admirers are willing
to take odds of 2 to / for their money
he will bet them any part of $4,000 OH

When he fought Jeffries at Coney Is

Practical Forestry.

Among the lecturers met at the Indi-
ana institutes last winter was Mr.. w.
III. Freeman, secretary Of the state
board of forestry. was impressed by
the practical nature of his efforts to
promote timber growing in his state
He has faith in the direct profitableness
Of timber production to the farmer and
relies little upon sentiment. We may
understand that the removal of all for.
ests affects our streams and the humid
ity Of the air, but the owner of farm
must figure upon income for himself.
Secretary Freeman believes that a
shortage of timber is near at hand and
that part of the hundreds of thou
sands of acres of rough land lying north
Of the Ohio river in southern Indiana
and southern and eastern Ohio should
be devoted to supplying a great de-
mand that is near ut hand. The only
way to get many others to accept such
view is to demonstrate its correct
ness, and so Mr.. Freeman has secured
legislation empowering his board to
purchase 1000 acres of land and to go
to work upon the problem. Indiana is
great consumer of second growth
stuff in her manufactures. and por-
ton Of this area will be given over to
ash, hickory and other hard wood The
land has small agricultural value and
is low priced, and the proposal is to
show that timber can be made the crop
with good profit to the landowner.-Al-

Motor cyclist. Use Head Gear.

Fatal accidents caused by desperate
speed on a bicycle behind motor pace
have driven followers of motor pace to
adopt the football headdress advocated
for SO hong by several trainers and
worn for the past several months by
little Joe Nelson and Bennie Munroe.
These riders put on the headdress,
their motormen followed suit, and the
people at race meets applauded them
for taking necessary precautions to
protect themselves against fractures
Of the skull. AIunroe and Hunter, the
latter now pacemaker for Nelson, frac-
tured their skulls in a fall last Septe.n-
Der at Baltimore. Munroe now follows
Bob Schultz, and both have their heads
protected against trouble.
Nelson has found the headpiece not
at all uncomfortable and says that he
would not be. without it. Upon it he
could strike head first, so he says, and
not feel the jar ut all, as there is a
large space in the top which takes up
the jar pneumatically. Nelson now
takes all the chances that are to be talk
en- in the game and takes them fear
lessly. He stops at nothing and has
struck the rear tire of the motor while
going at 4 speed Of 1907 to the mile and
bounded back only to go forward again
and strike it once more.

pitching these days isn't as hard as
It used to be-" recently remarked Joe
Kelley, captain-manager Of the Cincin-
natl Reds. '"The rules are so strict now
that player cannot talk to pitcher,
and many of the twirlers who have
gone up in the air under the old regime
are doing great work now.
"It used to be that when Il club was
not hitting pitcher it would try to
rattle him. Every time the players
passed him going to and from the field
something would be said to the pitcher
intended to get him sore, and if you
succeeded in getting him to talk back
you had him sure. That was always
Cy Seymour's trouble. There never
was q pitcher with such deceptive
curves as Cy had, but the opposing
players usually got him ratified before
the game was over, and he would give
ten or twelve bases on balls and throw
the game away.
"Under present conditions Cy would
be one of the greatest pitchers in the
world, for no one would be allowed to
say a word to him."

The farmers Berry Patch.

Every farm should have q berry
patch for home use; not only strawber-
ries, early and late, but black and dew
berries. These latter require very little
labor and are sure crop. Blackber-
ries should be planted in rows seven
feet apart and two and one-half feet
apart in the rows, or if land is scarce
long row next the fence will answer,
though they should not be planted so
near the fence that pickers cannot op-
crate on both sides Of the row. Dew
berries do not require so much dis
lance, rows four feet apart and
plants two and one-half feet apart in
the rows being about right. One row
Of Austin dewberries 100 yards long
and the same each of an early and late
blackberry will be sufficient for an or
binary family and furnish surplus for
canning or making jam or jelly. The
fruit is not only healthful, but deli
cious. One mistake that many people
make is eating berries before they are
fully ripe. For immediate use select
only such berries as are fully ripe.
After the glossy black color is fully
developed the berries will be better to-
morrow than today. After gathering
the berries will improve for several
days.-Farm and Ranch.

He1lebore For These Worms.


The currant and gooseberry worms
that consume the leaves, leaving the
bushes bare of foliage, will weaken the
bushes so much that the berries will
not ripen, even the bushes being some
times killed. The worms may be poi
soned by the use of hellebore dissolved
in water and the bushes sprayed with
it. Take tablespoonful of the helle-
bore, add quart of hot water and al
low it to stand q few hours; then add
to it pailful Of water and spray the
bushes well with it. An old broom will
answer very we'll for spraying. The
worms are soon killed, and the poison
will not last long. In few days the
berries may be eaten.-Midland Farm
