How rare a thing to find woman who is perfectly
healthy. Fully seventy per cent. of the sex suffers
from ailments which often render life burden.
These Affections cause nervousness, irritability,
melancholia hysteria, etc. They entirely unfit

PEcULIARITIEs OF PEOPLES.

The Chinese divide the day into IL
parts of two hours each.
In Germany black cats are kept away
from the cradles of children. They are
regarded as omens of evil.
Collins in Russia are never covered
with black. II the deceased is child,
pink is used; II woman, crimson;
though for widow they use brown.
In certain parts of the Himalaya
mountains the native women have a
singular way Of putting their children
to sleep in the middle of the day. The
child is put near a stream of water, and
by means Of palm-leaf or a tin scoop
the water is DETECTED so as to run over
the back Of the child's head. The wa

emily sends 1t to sleep and keeps it SO,

CHEAP HOG FENCE.

are good, but some are better than
others.
Set your posts eight feet apart, deeply
into the ground and brace well. Next
bring on your wire. Lock at one end
and then unroll the length of the wire.
Now have prepared two boards into
which bolts have been placed, one at
each end, the other in the middle. Bolt
these over the wire at a post, preferably
4 well-braced one. Now take two stout
poles or irons, crowbars are best, place
one at the lower edge and another at
the upper end and pull gradually until
the wire has been frightened. Then
tack securely. Stretch as tight as pos
sible.
Always place just below the woven
wire barbed wire for hog fence, as
this prevents the hog roofing and de-
molishing it. Always stretch as tight
as possible, for If not well made they are
the poorest fence known. Place over the
top two barbed wires, and you have
neat, serviceable and up-to-date fence

HOW CHOLERA is SPREAD.
Disease Is Carried to Many Herds by
Men Who Have Been with
Sick Animals.

Without doubt the best way to keep
hog cholera out Of herd Is to prevent
any hogs that have been exposed to
cholera coming into the said herd. The
next precaution should be to prevent
men that have been where hog cholera
is, going into pens and yards where
there are healthy herds of swine. We
have frequently spoken of this as a
means of bringing in cholera, but 1t is
doubtful IL we attach enough impor-
lance to 1t that we should. A man
that was for some time connected OFF,
cially with one of our leading expert
ment stations told the writer u few
days ago that the cholera had been
brought to the station again and again
by visitors from farms where the hogs
had the cholera Men would come to
the station and want to see the hogs
They would get over into the yards,
handle the animals, and before leaving
would carelessly remark that they had
been losing a good many of their hogs
from cholera. In 4 De time after their
visit the hog cholera would break out
in the experiment station herd.
1t is not possible for the station off,
cials to cross-examine every man that
wants to look at the hogs, but men
themselves should have enough intelli-
gence to realize that they are likely to
carry the disease from their own herds
to others. No man that has cholera
in his herd should visit herd having
no cholera, unless he wears clothing
he is reasonably sure is free from hog
cholera germs.-Farmers' Review.

corresponded with that of her father, but
did not furnish Mr.. Cowherd any posi-.

Mr.. Cowherd notified his constituent
that it would be necessary to identify her
father before pension could be granted,

FOOLISH GREED FOR LAND.
Usually 1t Has It's Source in an Al
together Silly Desire to Make
Display.

We are all familiar with the greed
Of the cily man who aever gets rich
enough to retire, but who keeps on pill
ing up wealth year after year merely
for the sake of accommodating. He is
the favorite theme of the country
preacher when he wishes to point out
the folly Of this world; yet we seldom
hear anything about his rural counter
part. the man who is land greedy and
who keeps himself and family in mar
row. restricted ways of living in order
that he may add to his domain. This
criticism does not apply to the men
who are able to extend their operations
without cramping themselves seriously
and who can make their purchases
yield returns which justify the invest
ment; but rather to the men we occa-
sionally see who have passion for ac-
quiring land, but who do not stop to
consider whether they will be able to
handle 1t profitably. A successful young
dairyman who had 25 cows was asked
why he did not increase his herd. in
asmuch as his farm would support
more. Because 25 is all that can
care for with the amount of help find
It profitable to keep" he replied. 81
can better afford to utilize the surplus
products Of the farm in some other way
than to so increase my herd that an
other mixer will be required"
The farmer who feels the itching for
more lana" should consider something
besides the price and ask himself
whether the land IL acquired could be
farmed economically in conjunction
with that which he already has. II
not, he would do well to Ego slow"
about mourning burden of debt or in
vesting cash which he has earned by
the hardest kind OF toll. The best
farmers are agreed that their profits
depend upon close. careful management
and up-to-date methods which insure
a maximum Of production with a min
imum of labor, and 1t is the small, well
titled farms that often show the biggest
returns per acre. The desire to exhibit
prosperity is no doubt the temptation
to which many men succumb when
they buy more land than they need, yet
they are often so plain in dress and
manners that they would consider II
rank injustice should anyone accuse
them Of wanting to make a display"

IA Study in Vegetable Mature.

Vegetable nature is very much like
human nature, 1t will steal from Its
neighbor. and in vegetable life we must
give back to the tree that which has
been taken from It. Lack OF moisture
may prevent bearing the following
year. The full annual duty-of a tree
is to perfect Its fruit and prepare for
next years crop. A continuous mois-
ture supply is necessary to maintain
activity in the tree, as It will make
large draft upon soil moisture, while
making new wood and large fruit, and
II moisture fails then It may be forced
into dormancy before 1t can furnish
good strong buds for the following
years bloom.--Epitomist

BLACK LOCUST FOR POSTS.
Quite Popular in Some Sections, But
Not as Reliable as the Honey
Locust.

The black locust makes excellent post
timber In localities adapted to its
growth; that is, where It is not killed
by the borer before it gets large enough
for such use. The locust does not
grow as rapidly as the softer woods,
such as the catalpa, but 1t makes
very hard and durable post. We believe
for most localities the yellow or honey
locust will give better satisfaction than
the black locust. So far as we are
aware, this variety Is not attacked by
the borer. We have known trees Of this
variety to stand unframed by the side
of q black locust grove, every tree in
which was killed. The black locust has
the faculty Of throwing up sprouts
from the roots whenever the top is cut
off or killed by borers, SO that grove
of this variety is self-renewing and II
planted little thin in the start may
be thickened up by cutting them off and
inducing them to throw up sprouts
from the roots. The great trouble Is
that the borer Is liable to strike them
just before they are large enough to be
valuable as posts. The honey locust.
while free from possible destruction
by the borer, makes just as good post
timber, and we believe grows about as
fast as the black variety. The rate Of
growth. as with any other tree, de-
ponds much upon the conditions Of the
soil and rainfall. Under favorable con-
ditions the larger trees in grove Of

Mans Humanity to Motors.

No one in his senses gallops his horse
on the high road, nor does the captain
Of 2O-knot steamer drive her contin-
ually at full pressure. In the motor car
alone Is this rule habitually disregarded.
If it is geared to 25 miles an hour, its
owner Is always trying to extract an
extra five from 1t. The majority of pc
troll motors are run habitually far above
the speed for which they were made.
with the result that their life is consid-
erably shortened. The first consider
alton to the man who wishes to motor
economically is to make fixed resolve
to treat his car mercifully.-Country

How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of
this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antthesis
which we have to contend with in the
form. OF aches and pains. In some way
and by some means every one has touch
OF them in some form at some time.
Trihing 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 right to
trifie with. Taken in time, the worst
forms of aches and pains are easily sub
dued and cured by the free use of ST.
Jacobs Oil. No we'll regulated household
ought to be without bottle of this great
remedy for pain. 1t is the specific virtue
of penetration in st. Jacobs Oil that
carries it right to the pain spot and
effects a prompt cure even in the most
painful cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sciatica, Lumbago. You want 1t also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that always
has 1t keeps up a sort of insurance against
pain.
