Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t
has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza grip, }
and ii has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thous nds of cases in which this RENE
dy has been used during the great pre-
valence Of colds and grip in recent
years. and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
ip the chest, then ii is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. II always cures. For

SETTING OFT A HEDGE.

A good many of our readers, both In
town and country, may want to set
out some sort of a hedge next spring.
There are two or three things of impor-
lance connected with this undertaking
-one. the proper selection Of tree or
shrub to be used for this purpose; an
other, to see that only young and
healthy trees are used, and, third, to
give such hedge the proper care when
planted. We know Of nothing that
makes a better hedge. taking beauty
and hardness into consideration, than
the common red cedar. The trees when
planted should not be more than eight
or ten inches high, should be thick and
bushy and well rooted and be set not
more than foot apart. After the first
year they should be carefully trimmed
so ss to thicken them up close to the
ground and thus form solid base fol-
the future hedge. This cannot be done
if trees of any size are used. After the
trees are well rooted keep them
mulched, and the future success Of the
hc;.g' will depend wholly upon the care
I, Sed in trimming it.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

The consolidation of the country
schools. subject which has awakened
q good deal of interest during the past
two years, is not making very rapid
Roadway. There are serious objections
connected with il. not the least or
which is the removal from the commu-
nifty of the schoolhouse which under
the present system serves as gather
ing place for the people of the district.
Then there is the transference of the
management of local educational af-
fairs into the hands Of comparative
strangers far away, all OF which
amounts to deprivation of the right
of local self government, which lies at
the very foundation of our republican
institutions. The consolidation of coun-
try schools should never be enforced
where it is at all possible to maintain
the district school under the present
system and at the same time secure
competent teachers.

A BAD INFLUENCE.

In early days when the prairie re-
gions of the west were first settled it
came about that nearly all of the
choice tracts of timber were gObbled
up by land spectators, leaving the set
tiers on the prairie without fuel and
fencing which they could obtain law
fully. 1t did not take very long to
place these tracts of spectators tim
Der lands in the minds of these set
tiers outside of the operation of both
the moral and civil law. This bust
ness had a demorallzing effect upon
the settlers. We know of one COM
munity where not until the last stick
of spectators timber was gone was 1t
possible to maintain any kind of re-
ligious service. After the timber was
gone a church was built, and the men
who stole the timber are now bright
and shining lights therein.

RAPE, CORN AND SHEEP.

This plan worked well He sowed
rape among his corn, three pounds to
the acre, at the time of the last plow-
ing of his 100 acre field. When the
corn began to harden. he turned into
this field LOO sheep and let them
work on the field until they had it fin
ished up along in early December. He
then shipped his sheep to Chicago. and
his returns showed that his combined
crop of corn and rape had brought him
in about $35 per acre. While this was
not big return IL was secured at SO

LOOKING TOWARD THE FARM.

We received a letter not long since
from a merchant doing business in a
town In western state in which he
said that every dollar he was able to
save was being put into an eighty acre
farm located three miles from his town
and that just as soon as he could he
was going to quit the store and move
ON to his farm. where. he says, he be-
lieves he will be free from the daily
fret and worry incident to competitive
business life. We think he is right in
his conclusions. More than ever before
the farm conducted on modern plans is
becoming attractive to very large
class Of men engaged in mercantile
and professional lines of business and
is one gratifying evidence that the
tendency of men to rush to the city Is
being gradually overcome.
