A Bows Victory.


Crossroads, Tenn. Sept l4-Orbra Young,
the ten-year-old son of Lester Young, of this
place, is bright boy, and one who is very
well liked by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered great
deal with form of Kidney Trouble which
was very annoying, and which made him mis-
cradle all the time. He had to get up three
o.. four times every night, almost all his
life.
His father heard of remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and bought some for the lit
tie fellow with the result that he is now COM
pletely cured of the old trouble He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me great
relief, and now can sleep all night without
having to get up. We will always praise
Dodd's Kidney Pills"
There are many children suffering from
Kidney and Urinary troubles. These dis
orders should be promptly corrected. Dodd's
Kidney Pills is safe and sure remedy for
all such arrangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his trou-
bles and made we'll boy of himself by using
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and any one may do
the same by the same means.
Parents should see to it that their children
are given fair chance in life, and there is
nothing that can undermine the health Of
q growing child as much as Kidney and Uri
nary arrangements.

]. w. Newman, in talk to Canadian
dairyman, said: Milk fresh and warm
as 1t comes from the COW is in the best
condition for separation. Otherwise
aerate and cool to 60 degrees. When
ready to separate heat the milk again
above 80 degrees by some continuous
heater that will hold sufficient milk to
keep the separator going at least five
minutes. Butter fat is not good con-
ductor of heat, not equal to skinned
milk; therefore. sufficient time for ex-
pansion of the fat should be allowed be-
fore milk is fed into separator. Heating
milk reduces its viscosity, increases the
capacity and insures more exhaustive
separation. Avoid vibration, low speed
overlooking separator, low temperature
or making very heavy cream by adjust
ment."

Save Time and Worry

Did you ever go into factory and no.
tice how expert the workers are with
their hands, how almost automatically
the motions are made? Did you ever
notice, too, how everything stood In just
the right place and always in the same
place? How much faster the people could
work than you could? Your hands, also
can learn to work without waiting for
brain and eyes to tell them where to and
things, If your tools and clothes are ale
ways in the same place, the right place.
OF course. You work at your best when
you do not have to waste thought on
routine work.-Agricultural Epitomisk

THE >SELF-MADE MAN.
Not Always o Finished Product, But
There Are Some Affections
He Escapes.

Now and then we encounter q natural
born ice-man, says Puck.
Some men always seem so very new, and
others SO very parvenu.
The self-made man is often a very good
sort-when he's finished.
He rarely has the govt, but he sometimes
suffers from over exertion of the egotlsm.
Somehow, the ears of the self-made man
often have the look of having been stolen
from a grab-bag.
The self-made man escaped one great Attic
ton. He didn't havea baccalaureate sermon
preached at him.
And, oh! if he could only remember that
there are always others just as insigniti-
can't as himself.
We occasionally see an architect of his
own fortune who seems to have mislaid the
blueprint when he was about halfway
through.

An Ice Cream, IdyI.

Gentle reader, didst thou ever order one
plate of ice cream with two spoons? Honest,
now, in the dear old days when you were young
and there was only one girl in all the world,
and she had round face like the full moon
and as full of freckles as the skin of brook
trout? Did you, now? Come, own up! 1t
was down in the little ice cream shop, the
only one in the village, and you were dread
fully angry when the lady who waited on
h have been dad to get ' along with one SPOON
and take turns in licking, but you were too
bashful for that. Still, you used to share
Hicks when you thought the smiling lady
was not looking, and love went with them,
and the ice cream was twice as sweet and
favorsome. What! You never did? You
really never did? Well, then, son, you have
never known what Heaven on earth is. Your
education has been neglected.-N. Y. News.

CARE OF DIRT ROADS.
tation for More Substantial
Highways.

In driving over a number of our dirt
roads last fall l noticed that, almost
without exception, they were in deplor-
able condition to leave for winter 1t Is
true that We had hard summer for
roads, but that only makes it the more
imperative to look after them and get
the water running of properly before the
ground freezes The side bitches should
be cleaned out and the sluice openings
cleared of silt and fallen grass. In places
the water had broken across the road
owing to an obstructed ditch, and there
were flat stretches where drainage was
so bad that water was almost on level
with the wheel track. When roads go
Into the winter In this way look out for
trouble in the spring, and lots of it. These
roads had been worked" and shaped up
properly in the spring or early summer.
The appropriations had been expended
and the roads were then allowed to shift
for themselves. l know of one road
master who makes 1t a practice to 60
over his road with shovel Immediately
after every heavy rain. A few shovelfuls
removed here and few added there save
many dollars of expense later on, and
keep the road in remarkably good shape.
One never sees any loose stones In the
road bed in that district, either. But, as
a rule, farmers who are usually the road
masters, are too busy with their affairs
at home to think about the roads at such
times.
In the agitation for macadamized
roads, 1t is to be feared that the dirt
roads may be neglected-be looked upon
as evils to be endured until the stone
ones may take their place This should
not be, for however the problem of taxa
ton of the farmer for stone roads may
be solved, it is still true that macadam-
lied roads for all our rural sections are
about as far OF as the millennium. Coun-
try roads in the spring are, as a rule,
something intolerable; but the remedy
Is not IN stone roads, but in an improve
mont OF the dirt roads and better sys-
tenn of maintaining them With grad
ing off of hills and filing in of low places,
with under-drainage and with constant
supervision by competent road builders,
dirt roads would be different from what
they are. At the same time, this kind of
work would be preparatory to the stone
surface which would ultimately be
added. The laws IN relation 70 the main
tenance of our common roads need over
hauling, and the administration of them
be placed In more scientific and COM
petent hands than It is at present.-Grant
Davis, in Rural New Yorker.

FEARED A SEPARATION.
The Dear Little Lamb Was Afraid
Her Father Might BE Put
with the Goats.

Her father had read her the parable of the
sheep and the goats at the day Of judgment.
She made no comment, but. that night
sound of weeping came from her room. Her
mother went as consider, relates Brooklyn
Life.
"Why are you crying, DEAR"
about the goats! On, I'm so afraid I'm
goat ,..,,
why, no, dearie, you are a sweet little
lamb, and if you should die tonight you
would go straight to Heaven With th.
and like assurances she was finally paeified.
The next night the same performance was
repeated, and again her mother inquired the
reason,
ITS the goats! I'm afraid about the
goats!"
Didn't tell you, dear, that you were :
little lamb"
ooh" she sobbed, "I'm not crying about
myself. but I'm 'fraid you may be goat!"
