MARSH ROOT

No better combination, as we prepare
it. could be formulated to act more spe-
cifically upon the Kidneys and Liver
than Marsh Root. As Liver Invigor-
ator Marsh Root is now conceded fact,
and where the Liver is torpid and slug
glsh Constipation manifest, the body
tired, the eyes blurred, and weakened,
the complexion poor, a sensation OF dull
headaches, and languor prevailing,
Marsh Root will overcome them.
AS to the Efficacy of Marsh Root, and
it's fight against Kidney Diseases, you
can be your own judge if you are an af-
fiicted, and if it fails to relieve or cure
you, take the bottle back to your Drug
gist and he will give you your
money back. Marsh Root stands fol
the cure of Inflammation or Catarrh OF
the Bladder, Blocked Kidneys, Scalding
Urine Rheumatic Gout. Gravel, Uric
Acid, etc. The organs that require the
most careful attention (and are the most
often neglected, and the human filters
or strainers-the Kidneys. and therefor
doubly require your attention.
Do not delay when the Kidney machinery
needs repair. DO not allow n bresk down tc
20 along when it is too late-"A stitch In
time saves nine" In 80 cases out OF every
1OO a bottle OF Marsh Root for a small outlay
will relieve you of your trouble and worry.

The Illinois agricultural experiment
station has been Investigating the rela-
tive merits Of silage and shock corn as
factors In beef production An expert
ment was conducted on the extensive
farm Of a Mclean county cattle feeder.
In the feeding of 5.33 acres of silage to
calves a69 acres Of crops other than
corn were used. In the feeding of 5.33
acres of shock corn to calves 5.6S acres
of crops other than corn were used
This difference may or may not be
found unavoidable. Among conclusions
arrived at were the following:
It requires a third longer time to feed
an acre of corn silage than an acre of
shock corn.

Emigration to Canadian Northwe.

Emigration TO Canadian Northwest.
The movement Of western farmers
across the line into northwest Canada
has become almost an international
topic, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The Dominion land Office at Ottawa
says that OF 25,0OO,000 acres Of land
now owned by citizens Of the United
States a fifth Of this vast area has
been acquired during the past year
and that perhaps 100000 acres have
been taken up by bona flde settlers
from the States. During the first six
months of 1902 fully $1,000 American
citizens settled In Manitoba. and the
movement still continues. Our Cana
dian friends need not worry over the
alien element crossing the border from
the United States, because these sturdy
farmers who settle permanently In
the northwestern frontier will become
good citizens of Canada. A word OF
caution may not be out of place, how
ever, to our own people in Iowa. the
Dakotas, ets-, who may eventually find
they are making mistakes In mortgag-
ing their. farms in order to raise money
to invest in these new farof lands.
AS a general rule. the words of the
poet hold true, ITO stay at home Is
best"

The success Of the potato crop de
pends much upon the vigor and condi-
tion of the seed potatoes. Some grow

with excellent results: When the pota-

toes are dug. those which are to be
used for seed are stored in dry. dark
shed or barn until about the 10th of
November. Just before freezing wealth
er sets in the potatoes are carefully
sorted, and those which show the
slightest signs Of decay are rejected,
J. layes pf stray from eight to ten
inches thick lie spread on the ground
Qnd the eubers placed upon this straw.
The piles should not be made too large.
The best results are usually obtained
from mounds three feet wide at the
base and piled up IN ridges rs high as
convenient. A covering OF straw is
placed over the potatoes, and this is
followed by layer Of soil from six To
eight inches thick, but before severe
weather sets In more soil is added, and
when the severest weather IS at hand
more straw or strawy barn manure
is added. The aim Is to cover gradu-
ally as the cold increases This meth
cd of storing potatoes seems to winter
them much better for seed than when
they are placed in root cellars or when
they are stored In mounds Immediately
after they are dug, says American

How best to stack corn fodder to
keep and be handiest In getting at
when feeding Is often question given
much thought by the farmer. This
method possesses many advantages
that will recommend 1t above others:
Set two posts twelve or sixteen feet
apart where you wish the stack to be.
Across from one to the other, four and
q half or five feet from the ground,
spike 2 by a. Stand the fodder
against this with the butts on the
ground and the smaller ends coming
together at the top. There should be
a space of two or three feet at the bot
tom. This win give the rat, dog and
cat an opportunity to keep the stack
clear Of mice. This stack will turn the
rain and snow of winter, will keep dry
and bright and when used will not be
opened to the weather, as no stalks are
left exposed by removing the top

CIGAR STORE FIRE
CAUSES DAMAGE
Blaze Started in Establish
ment of Selak and Hoffman
in Mysterious Manner

Fire of an unknown origin broke out
this morning in the cigar store OF
Selak and Hoffman, at No. SIT Market
street and caused damage to the ex-
tent of nearly $1,000. The blaze was OF
an unknown origin and started be-
tween 8 and o'clock.
The loss is confined mostly to the
stock and furniture, which will amount
to about $500, fully covered by insur-
ance, carried with Gilpin and Com
pany. The damage to the building will
reach $500, covered by insurance in the
Farmers Mutual Insurance Company.
When seen this morning, Mr. Hoff-
man said he was unable to say what
started the blaze as there was no stove
in the store, aRd as the fire began at
6 o'clock this morning, the idea of a
lighted cigar stump causing the blaze
was not 10 be considered, as the store
was closed last night.
The Washington Chemical Company

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
FROM INSTANT DEATH
Train Strikes Milk Wagon
With Six Occupants, In
juring All

In the growing darkness of last
evening the death of six persons was
averted by a narrow margin on the
Pennsylvania railroad at Twelfth and
Claymont streets. A milk wagon with
six occupants started to cross the
tracks when a train thundered past,
striking and killing instantly the horse
and injuring the following persons;
Mrs. Mary Roth, bruised and suffer
ing from shock.
Mary Roth. aged 16 years. bruised.
Victor Roth, aged IA years, leg
bruised.
Raymond Roth, aged years, bruised
and stunned by shock.
Lillian and Clara Roth. aged 10 and
u years respectively. who also were
occupants of the wagon, were slightly
injured. They were sent to their home
and attended by Drs. Ebert and
Draper
The first four were removed to Del
aware Hospital where they are recov-
ering.
The family was returning TO their
home on Riverside dairy, over Elev-
enth street bridge after delivering milk
in this city. and as they neared the
railroad tracks the horse was pulled
down to a walk. so as TO ascertain if a
train was coming. A negro driving a
team ahead moved his hand and Mrs.
Roth. thinking it was a signal that all
was clear on the track, started to cross.
Just as the horse stepped upon the
tracks the passenger train due at
French street station at 6.20 o'clock
emerged out of the deepening darkness
and struck the animal, hurting it in
the air and pitching it upon the en-
bankment. some distance away. The
vehicle was tossed to one side and the
occupants dashed to the ground. The
wagon was crushed to kindling wood.
Hearing the crash several persons
rushed to the scene headed by Officer
Barr, expecting to find the occupants
of the vehicle a mangled mass. They
were soon discovered lying along the
tracks, but the extent of their injuries
could not be learned as they all were
dazed from the shock The Phoenix
ambulance soon arrived and the in
jured were removed to Delaware Hos
pital. where it was found no one was
seriously injured
The escape Of the occupants of the
wagon is miraculous. It is believed
the horse received the full shock of the
train and if the wagon had been few
inches further upon the track all those
inside would have been instantly killed
