We may become so accustomed to II

we are more or less disturbed by il
whether we are awake or asleep. The
dangers we incur in our daily walk and
conversation are something very try

find that they are hoisting some build

perhaps are putting safe in q seven

that We are just in the right spot to
catch some of the debris if anything
breaks. AT the street crossing life is
| som ething like that of man lodging
bullets in battle. Danger is all around
us. and the fact that we all generally
escape does not lessen the injury done
to the nervous system by this constant
strain. Dodging street cars, bicycles,
automobiles, pedestrians who are not

There is fascination about big profits to a
business man. But the conservative and
cautious trader prefers to have the lesser
per cent. of interest and the larger per cent,
of safety in his investments. There is no
business man who would not consider it q
sound proposition to invest in an enterprise
in which absolute loss was impossible and
which offered ninety eight chances in a
hundred of rich profit The statistics of
cures effected by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery show that ninety weight per cent,
of cases Of ''weak lungs' can be
absolutely cured. Almost if not all forms of
physical weakness may be traced to starva-
tion. Starvation saps the strength. The
body is inst as much starved when the stom-
ach cannot extract nutrition from the food
it receives as when there is no food. Weak
lungs" bronchial affections, obstinate
coughs, call for nourishment. Golden Med
cal Discovery" supplies that nourishment in
its most condensed and assimilable form.
1t makes weak lungs strong, by strength

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but

West Ahead of the East.

All sorts of new plans for teach
ing agriculture are being tried in the
west. In Missouri an exhibition car
is hauled by the railroads. This car
carries samples of farm products for
exhibition. Speakers go along, and
the car can be turned into a small
hall for holding meeting if de-
sired. In a dairy section, stock food,
forage plants, dairy utensils and
even animals will be carried. In a
fruit-growing section tools and ap-
pliances for cultivating, spraying,
etc, will be on hand. All this is un-
der direction of the Missouri expert
ment station. 1t seems like a grand
thing, especially for large state.
The west is ahead of the east in such
matters, because the western farm
er has been able to make his power
definitely felt.-Rural New Yorker.

BROAD WHEEL WAGONS.
They Do Not Cut the Farm Into Ruts,
But Make q Smooth Road
Over Fields.

This has been the worst fall and
winter for getting in crops ever
known in this region. The rains were
SO frequent and so heavy that the
corn was too wet most of the time;
| and the soil became SO soft that it
would not hold up the ordinary
wagon. We had the advantage of
our neighbors, for we had a set of
metal wheels, with four-inch tires.
A large part Of our corn was on
low land, and the river began to
back up over it before we got it
gathered. Had we been compelled to
depend on the old-fashioned narrow
tire, the water would have risen over
it before we were half done, as, in
that case, we could not have pulled
half a load out of the field; and as
we barely made it out with the last
load as the water came, one can
readily see how we would have been
left if we had not had wide trees.
After using metal wheels about
three years 1 do not see what any
body wants with a narrow-tire wood
en- wheel. There is enough spent on
them keeping them in repair to buy
the whole wagon. I have known
men to lose enough on a single trip
to buy new wagon, by having the
tire run off and allow the wheel to
be crushed before anyone knew what
had happened-this taking place
while away from home, and leaving
him to get on with his load and get
back as best he could, all of which
could have been saved by having
steel wheels.
Our wheels are 80 and "a inches,
making the wagon so low that it is
easily loaded. Men who have hauled
cordwood and ties on it say it is an
absolute pleasure to load and unload
it. When it comes to putting rail
road tie. weighing 200 or 300 pounds.
on high wagon, with the wheels
way above the holsters, over which,
also. the tie must go. it is doubtless
little-yes, very-hard on a fellow. I
have never used it thus, but can tes-
tify to the fact that it takes less
than half the labor to load it with
hay grain, fodder, etc.
Another great advantage Of such
a wagon is, that it does not cut the
farm into ruts, but after a trip or
two it makes a nice. smooth road
even over plowed ground; and when
you wish to plow it up again it is
not near so hard as when it has
been packed by narrow tires.
Some claim that they are bound
to run more heavily than narrow
tires and high wheels. Possibly they
do. but the difference is compara-
lively slight, and we own horses and
mules to do our work for us. Why
not let them do it?-Essex Spurrier,
in Rural Voice.
