BLOOD CIRCULATION

MEeathing and Its Relation 90 tho
Secret of Good Health.
The secret of health, as every intelli
sent physician knows, is free ana full
circulation Of the blood, and this cifcbE>
lation In dependent absolutely ON thor
cugh oxygenation. In many cases
where erroneous habits Of living have
been % long continued that congestion
has become chronic in one shape or an
ether obesity, govt rheumatism, con-
sEipation or tuberculosis having
camped in the SYSTEM and crippled IT.
the patient is not apt to be In condi-
tom to readily assimilate sufficient
quantity of oxygen direct from the at
mosphere. The breathing apparatus
must first be properly developed, SO
that the patient shall be able to grad
ually increase the supply Of air to the
system, until at last he RECEIVERS the
normal power of deep breathing.
With the building up Of the lungs
through proper breathing there Is q
metabolism of all the tissues and or
gans, so that, for most men, breathing
exercises are more important than any
mere muscular exercise. Not only the
lungs, but all the internal organs are
brought into play by correct breathing
It develops the heart, stomach, liver
and kidneys directly and indirectly and
nourishes all these organs as they
should be nourished by more blood and
better blood in constant and regular
circulation. Breathing, therefore, Is a
sovereign remedy for our national dis
ease Of nervous depletion. 1t might
well replace the countless tonics, slim
ulants and anodynes now so commonly
resorted to. where results are nothing
less than tragic in thousands Of cases.

its culture rather uncertain. This In
sect may rot be plentiful In all parts OF
the country. but with us they defoliate
the trees every summer aud check the
growth to such an extent as ITO make
them worthless for posts. The best tree
we have ever experimental with is the
yellow locust. known as black locust in
some sections. We have trees OF this
species which in seven years from the
seed were plenty large enough to make
good fence posts. Everybody knows the
value of the locust for posts, for there
is no wood which lasts longer in the
ground. The trees can be thinned when
large enough for vineyard stakes or
other purposes, and little later anoth-
er thinning can be made for the man
ufacture of insulating pins for tele-
graph and telephone poles, for which
this timber is almost exclusively used.
and the mills engaged in this manufac-
ture are fast using up the natural
growth of the locust in the mountains
of the Appalachian system The locust
sprouts readily from the stump. and
the plantation will rapidly renew itself

Dimcultie. Of Fruit Growfnr.

Fruit growing is now a perpetual
warfare against insect pests and fun
gous diseases. Most of these troubles
have been imported from older coun-
tries where they have prevailed for
ages, until the people have nearly
starved-in fact, have starved by thou
sands, because they lacked the knowl
edge or the energy to combat these
enemies Many of these enemies of the
fruit growers have become naturaliZed
and now destroy annually millions OF
dollars worth of fruit. 1t will hence
forth require an energetic use of such
measures of protection as scientific in
vestigation may approve in order that
fruit growing may continue to be a
profitable industry. We have this sum-
mer seen healthy looking ElbertaA
Chinese clings and several other varie-
ties of peaches where almost every
peach rotted either before or immedi-
ately after ripening. These trees were
not sprayed. This disease was brown
rot. In the same orchard many
peaches were spoiled by worms of sew,
eral kinds Neglected trees every
where have suffered severely. Farm

Putting Away summer Clothes.

The housekeepcr who holds to the
old fashioned way of putting away the
summer clothes each fall without
starching and ironing Is preparing for
herself days of constant labor of the
most wearing kind when the first
warm days of spring arrive and she
is already worn out with spring sew
ing or house cleaning or enervated with
the languor which attacks every one
with the coming OF spring. The oh
lection that starch is apt to yellow
and certain to weaken the fabric has
no weight when one remembers that
the clothes made up and kept on sale
in the stores, as we'll as the prints and
the muslins bought by the yard, are
starched before they leave the fac.
tory. Handkerchiefs, too, are invari-
ably starched when in the store, and
surely they do not grow yellow lex

REPAIRING FURNITURE.
Making whole, Cleaning and Bright
ening Up For the winter.

Making whole, Clea nj Ing and Bright
eninR Up For the winter.
There is always greater or less
amount of work 10 be done to put
household furniture in repair for the
winter. but much of this may be done
at home.
In the first place, every piece that be
comes loosened from an article of fur
niture or every part that is broken or
splintered off should be saved and put
in place by themselves where they
may readily be found. Prepare for
work by purchasing a bottle of liquid
glue OF good quality and a bottle of
rubbing oil. The latter is such as Is
used in furniture factories for giving
an oil finish to furniture and may he
obtained at such a factory or repair
shop or probably at large drug store
Apply as much glue as the fracture
demands and press the piece closely in
place, wiping off the supertiuous glue
Many pieces can be tied together till
the glue sets; other pieces can be laid
down dat and an iron placed upon
them to keep them securely in place
Use no more glue than is necessary
After the gluing is done and the glue
has had time TO set you are ready to
apply the rubbing oil. First, however,
any pieces OF furniture that are dirty
or greasy should be cleaned.
Oiled furniture may be cleaned Gy
dipping Il wooden cloth in kerosene and
rubbing thoroughly. or il may be wash
ed in suds by using Il good white soap.
The latter will take off the finish more,
but this can be restored. The chamber
sets, sewing machine dining chairs and
table, desk-all such articles will be
vastly improved if rubbed over in this
way.
Willow or rattan chairs should have
an oak or cherry stain applied with a
good brush so us to penetrate all parts
This stain comes mixed ready TO apply
and is kept ut amy drug or paint store
A pretty finish for some chairs is a
coat of prepared enamel either white
or colored. This comes in a liquid
ready for use ana is to be applied with
a brush. The woodwork, too, may be
given a little gliding or bronze at slight
expense by using the paints TO be had
at any drug or paint store. Such a
chair upholstered in white corduroy OF
velours is especially dainty and pretty

nInhn mmedans and Pigs.

A recent traveller in Somaliland gives
the following curious incident show
ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs;
ave shot two wart hogs, one partic-
ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep
the tusks. but of course none of the
Somalis would touch the unclean ami
NAL. At last a bride Of 2 rupees In
duced the Midgan woman to chop the
tusks out with Ratchet. Even then
she would not touch them and with
he help OF two sticks, which she used
Hike q pair of tongs, put them on
camel. Then there was a long dispute
about the Ratchet. No one would touch

was pure affectation and playing TO the

Liability Of Farmer employers.

An English farm laborer recently
died from blood poisoning, and his wild
ow brought suit for damages against
his employer under the provisions of
the workmen's compensation act. 1t
was shown that the deceased had suf-
fered an abrasion of the skin on the
rape of the neck as the result of car
rying heavy bags of fertilizer upon his
shoulders, and the Inflammation that
followed developed into blood poison
ing. the inference being that the wound
was poisoned by the fertilizing mate
rial.
Although 1t did not appear that the
employer had been unduly careless or
that he had imposed unnecessary risk
upon his employee, the court ordered
him to pay ESQ (nearly $3.50 to the
widow and children Of the deceased
workman, and as an appeal was taken
he was ordered to pay the widow E2
month until the matter was settled
The case is of interest to farmers gen
orally as showing the sweeping nature
of law that would seem at first
thought to apply chiefly to factories
and other lines Of industrial effort far
removed from the farm.-Rural New
Yorker.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


A few years ago the process OF apply

Cultfvator.
A large amount of bordeaux mixture
ID being used on the vines as pre-
ventfve against the blight or rust
that occasionally appears on the vines
early in the season, stopping further
growth and rotting the tubers in the
ground. This mixture Is composed OF
lime and vitriol usually mixed with the
paris green and applied In the same
manner. Many of our best farmers
have applied it for some years and
have advocated its use, but until this
season it has not been generally used
Many looked upon it with suspicion.
But facts are stubborn things. Last
season where it was used the vines re-
NAMED green until killed by the late
autumn frosts Other fields where it
was not used the vines were blackened
and dead early in the season and the
yield not more than one-half or two
thirds as great as the adjoining fields
where the mixture had been judiciously
applied.
