The fat woman peeked over the top of

The fat woman showed signs Of object

lecturer continued:
The, beautiful architectural lines Of a

Strange Myths of the Tibetans.

Booklovers' Magazine: The Tibetans
have numberless strange myths, one,
the most curious, pertaining to the sum-,
moon and stars. The sun is believed
to be an immense ball OF yak meat
and fat, wherein the spirits of departed
ancestors are supposed to feast, the
light being caused by it's, heated condi-
ton. The stars are portions of this
immense feast which, dropping to the
earth, give birth to animals for the nj
tenanee of suffering humanity. The
moon is a lesser ball of similar texture
as the sun. in use while the larger one
is being ~replenished for the morrow.
When sun or moon fails to appear in
cloudy days 1t means that the deities
are undergoing a period of fasting and
religious a~bnegation. And the parched
and sterile condition of bleak regions
is ascribed to the fact that many thou
sand years ago the u ball slipped
from the hands of it's keepers, des-
cended too near the earth, and, before
being recaptured, scorched those parts
with which it came in contact.

FARMING BY INoculA1IoN

Full Instructions Sent by Government

A portion Of inoculating material as
1t Is mailed to the farmer by the gov
ernment consists of three different
packages. Package No. 2 contains
the cotton with its millions of dried
germs. Packages l and are the me-
dia or food by means of which the
farmer can multiply the germs. The
department incloses explicit instruc-
tons how to use the bacteria, as fol-
lows:

ferably rain water) in a clean tub or
bucket and add No. l of the incloSed
package Of salts Containing granulat-
ed sugar, potassium phosphate and
magnesium sulphate). Stir occasion
ally until all is dissolved.
Carefully open package No. 2 (con-

cotton into the solution. Cover the
tub with paper to protect from dust,
and set aside in q warm place for
twenty-four hours. Do not heat the
solution or you will kill the bacteria

heat.
After twenty-four hours add the con-
tents Of package No. containing am
monium phosphate). Within twenty
hours more the solution will have a
cloudy appearance, and is ready for
use. To InOculate Seed:
Take just enough of the solution to
thoroughly moisten the seed. Stir
thoroughly so that all the seeds are
touched by the solution. Spread out
the seeds In shady place until they
are perfectly dry, and plant at the
usual time just as you would untreat-
ed seed. The dry cultures as sent from
the laboratory will keep for several
months. Do not prepare the liquid
culture more than two or three days
previous to the time when the seeds
are to be treated, as the solution once
made up must usually be used at the
end Of forty-eight hours.
To Inoculate Soil:
Take enough dry earth so that the
solution will merely moisten it. Mix
thoroughly, so that all the particles of
soil are moistened. Thoroughly mix
this earth with four or five times as
much. say half wagOnload. Spread
this inoculated soil thinly and evenly
over the field exactly as If spreading
fertilizer. This should be done just
before plowing, or else the inoculated
soil should be narrowed in immediate
ly. ..
Either Of the above methods may be
used, as may be most convenient.
Enough germs are sent in each little
package to inoculate seeds for from
one to four acres. The package can
be carried in your pocket, and yet does
more work than several carloads of
fertilizer. 1t costs the government less
than 4 cents a cake, or less than a
cent an acre, and saves the farmer
thirty or forty dollars, which he would
have to spend for an equal amount of
fertilizer. Different cultures are sent
for different crops. The results have
been surprising

Wheeling, w. Va, May 28, 1908.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as result, and the doctor told me l
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some Il
years have elapsed since what have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.
