How to Keep House.

With all the Injuries and pleasures
OF this life, its big enjoyments and it's
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has a touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifling as
some Of them may be, the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there
fore, of this kind that we have a
right to trifle with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of St. Jacobs Oil. No well
regulated household ought to be with.
out bottle Of this great remedy for
pain. 1t is the specific virtue of pene.
tration in St. Jacobs Oil that carries
1t right to the pain spot and effects a
prompt cure even in the most painful
cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lum-
bago, Sciatica. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that al
ways has it keeps up sort OF insur.
ance against pain.

CantaIoupe Seed.

The Rocky Ford is now the best
known muskmelon in the country. 1t
was originally "Burpee's Melted Gem"
Under the warm skies of Colorado
and the stimulating influences of wa
ter it developed into melon that is
probably without superior in the mar
kets of the country. There may be
better ones grown for home use, but
if so, they have some characteristics
that keep them from coming general
ly into the market. The Rocky Ford
melon of the past was probably better
than is the same melon to-day, for the
reason that at first the eastern seeds
men were able to produce all the
seed of this variety that could be
sold. But as the demand increased,
the seedsmen began to gather seed
from almost all sources where canta-
loupes were grown. The result was
that much of it was not pure, some
crossing having taken place with 9TH
er and inferior varieties of melons.
This has caused some deterioration
in the case of Rocky Fords, and a
good many melons have to be thrown
out as culls when being packed.

OK Marbles,

A bulletin of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College says: Treatment should
begin as soon as the MARBLES are no.
ticed upon the animals backs. Most
OF the MARBLES or grubs can be de-
stroyed by putting turpentine, kero.
sene, crude petroleum or mercurial
ointment in or on the opening through
the skin directly over the MARBLE. II
the opening is very small, it should
be enlarged by using smooth,
pointed stick. A machinist's oil can
having a slender nozzle furnishes an
excellent method of applying the med
icine. BY running the cattle through
a chute they can be treated quite rap
idly. They should be examined in
about ten days, and any that escape
the first treatment should be de-
stroyed by second; i or better,
squeezed out and crushed; or they
can be crushed beneath the skin by
pinching the lump, or killed by in.
sorting a pointed wire or large blunt.
pointed needle. It is important that
any grubs squeezed out or escaping
naturally should be destroyed or they
will transform into adult flies TX

locating an o orchard.

, -GraHg3 kSSS0SeII8 al OTCuaI0 ~ :,
The Orchard and fruit f., plantation
should be, located on sloping land.
The soil will be drained OF surplus
water and will not bake and become
as dry and hard in time of drouth,
says 0. M. Morris of Oklahoma. The
north and east slopes are the best.
They are much cooler in summer and
are not subject to as great variations
OF temperature in winter. The effect
OF the afternoon sun is somewhat
weakened by the slope and the early
blooming trees are not forced into
blossom so early and more frequently
escape the late frosts. The protec-
ton from the wind is perhaps the
greatest benefit derived from such
slopes. The warm dry winds of July
and August do not strike the orchard
with their full force and thus a great
amount of moisture is saved for the
use of the trees and fruit This pro-
lection from the wind is also of great
value to young trees while they are
forming their root system and be-
coming well established. The south
ern slopes are warmer and earlier In
the spring and for some purposes are
to be preferred, but usually the fruit
natures early enough and with ap-
pies in particular the latest varieties
mature almost too early for winter
use. A sandy loan soil with clay
subsofl is best adapted to the use of
all kinds of fruits. The trees set on
heavy clay soil will produce a heavy
growth of foliage and wood but will
be slow to come into bearing, and
the fruit will not be as bright in color
as that grown on sandy soil. The
trees grown on poor sandy soil will
usually make poor growth and be-
gin bearing young. These trees will
be short-lived and weak. The poor,
thin, gray and black soils are poorly
adapted to trees. the trees set on
such land are almost sure to make
very poor growth and be shy bear
ers. Good upland is the best for or
chard land. The bottom land will
grow better and stronger Trees but
they will seldom be as productive.
This is especially true of the peach,
plum and apricot. The late frosts are
more liable to destroy the crop while
the trees are in blossom on low land.
The lowland also maintains better
conditions for the plant diseases that
are sure to infest the orchards sooner
or later. If the land was formerly in
timber, it should be carefully exam
ined for evidences of root-rot before
setting out fruit trees.

Seed Corn in the Ear.

Inc matter of selling seed corn in
the ear is receiving a good deal of
attention at the present time. In an
interview with J. c. Vaughan, that
gentleman, who is one of our Oldest
seedsmen, said that he had no doubt
the practice had come to stay. He
himself had believed for twenty years
that the only way to sell seed corn
was IN the ear, and in 1885 he tried
to establish the custom. but found
hlmself lar in advance of his times
Inc times have now caught I'D with
him in this matter In the wear mon.
toned he laid in a large stock If
corn in the ear and advertised II
largely. But he could sell little NJ
this corn for the reason that corn
IN the ear cost more to the consumer
tnan snelled corn. He tried sending
out sample ears at cents each. but
few would buy even the sample ears
His prices for corn on the ear ran at
from $3.50 to $3.50 per bushel while
his competitors were selling she11od
corn at from $1.25 to $1.75 per bushe1
The price was weightier matter at
that time than the quality of the corn
as all farmers then believed that
corn was corn" 1t is noticeable thar
this year corn of selected varieties is
selling at as high as $500 per bushel
and the seedsmen are unable to supply
the demand.
The cause of the change in public
sentiment in this matter is the
amount of information our agricultur-
al colleges and agricultural papers
have spread among the people. They
have shown the great value of select
ed seed corn, and have demonstrated
that the difference in money value be.

Sheen Pasture.

! know two Lincoln f1ocks in Eng.
1ald that have been kept on the same
fans by father and son down, for 12E
years, until now they have arrived at
su4h a state of perfection that the fact
OF a Lincoln sheep being bred by
D1Fding or Dean is a guarantee of it's
superiority. Sheep from these f1ocks
took about all the prizes offered for
that breed of sheep at the Worlds

fidFnt answer to those who are con-
ti1fa1ly changing their flock. 1 would
say to such, change your management,
noq Your sheep. Another thing that
pWbably should be done for ewes
would be to give them as additional
pas ture a strip of turnips or mangels,
pushel and half a day, fed with
gc9d, clean pea straw twice day, and
an occasional feed of clover will take
them along until within two or three
weeks of lambing. Then a few oats
would help to bring on stronger
lam ID and put the eve in better con-
dition to give a good flow of milk. To
or three acres of rye, to turn into
early, would keep the flock going for
i've or six weeks, when the piece could
be plowed down and rape sown. This
would come in nicely for the lambs at
weaving time, and would send them
on ready for the market, and at very
little cost. If you could have an acre
or two of peas and oats to follow the
rye you would need very little pas.
ture, except for change. Another
good plan for sheep pasture, where
corn is grown is to SOW about pound
and half of rape seed broadcast, the
last time of cultivating.-R J. Hine.

Failure Of Orchards.

Orchards fail for various reasons
but chiefly for lack of care. In some
of these cases the owners declare that
they have given their orchards the
best possible care; but the fact is
that the people in charge have not
known what was good care. Some
times manure has been put on when
the ground was rich enough anyway.
In that way a growth has been stimu-
lated that has resulted to the detri-
ment of the trees. If man wants a,
good. orchard he will have to study
along several lines before he will un-
derstand the various factors entering
into the care of an orchard of any
kind.

1ecIed cars or other vehicles for the
reception of cattle, and to refuse for
Shipment cattle whose freedom from
olsease and from exposure to conta-
glon is in doubt.

INTO another state or territory or the
Dlstrlct of Columbia, or into public
stock yards or feeding stations, until
tney nave been dipped in mixture
approved by this department, except as
provided in Rule 4.
8. Cattle that are affected with the
disease may be shipped for immediate
slaughter after one dipping, but if
they are intended for feeding or stock
ing purposes they shall be held for a
second dipping ten to twelve days
after the first one. All of the cattle
IN certain herd or shipment in which
the disease is present shall be consid-
ered as affected with the disease.
4. Cattle that are not affected with
the disease, but which have been ex-
posed to the contagion, may be ship.
pea for feeding or stocking purposes
after one dipping, but may be shipped
Tor immediate slaughter without Dip
ping.
8. When affected cattle are shipped
1or slaughter after one dipping, and
"nen exposed cattle are shipped for
slaughter without dipping, the cars
conveying them shall be marked on
each side with card bearing in
plainly visible letters the words "Scab-

Sugar Beet Experiments.

Sugar Beet Experiments. II. ]:
The results of experiments with
sugar beets by J. J. Vanha and by H.:
Claassene have been summarized in:
The Experiment Station Record. In
Vanha's experiments beets- were
grown 20, Is and 30 en-. apart in rows
IS, 40 and As en-. distant. The dis
lance allowed each plant ranged from
700 to 1850 SO. en-. The smallest
yields were obtained from the IS en-.
rows with the plants at intervals of
80 en-. Planting the ,beets 30 en-.
apart in rows As en-. distant gave
much the best yields.
Mr.. Claassen undertook to deter
m u the effect on the development of
tne plant of removing or injhring the
leaVes or sugar beets, while the plants
were stlll growing. In one row the
small inner leaves of the plant were
entlrely cut away; in another row the
larger outer leaves were removed;
"nhe from all except the smaller in
ner leaves OF the plants in a third
row. one-half of the leaf surface was
cut away; and in a fourth row the
leaves were mutilated in a manner
approxlmating injuries due to hail.
Inc smaller inner leaves were soon
replaced after their removal by a new
growth. The larger leaves were not
replaced, but the remaining ones
made good vigorous growth so that
by the end of the season the ground
was again we'll covered, The injured
leaves remained green and fresh and
the smaller inner leaves of these par
tlcular plants were induced to make
a better growth by this treatment. The
results showed that the removal of
the leaves and injury to the same had
practically no effect on the sugar con-
TENT but that it reduced the weight
OF the beets. Cutting away the inner
leaves had the least effect. It is esti-
mated from the data obtained that the
removal OF the entire leaves or parts
OF the same whether by hail or other
wise, may cause a reduction of 30
per cent in the weight of the crop.
