TRAGIC INSOMNIA
Murderous Rage Caused by Lack
of Sleep Proves Fatal to
Two PEOPLE.

A fearful tragedy recently occurred In
Philadelphia where a prominent chemist
shot both his wife and himself after des-
perate struggle. His physicians are re.
ported as saying that the terrible affair
was due to mental arrangement caused
by sleeplessness.
Many suffer from this cause without
knowing how to obtain relief while their
condition daily grows more desperate.
All such will read with interest how Mr..
Thomas Hessian, Of South Hampton.
n. H., finally succeeded in ridding HIM
self of an attack Of insomnia which baf-
fed the skill of his physician.
Mr.. Hessinn is farmer and is In the
habit Of retiring very early. 1t was in
April, 1908. that he found he could no
longer get the sleep he needed TO 1T
him for his days duties.
"Iwould turn from one side to another
In bed, :" says Mr.. Hsssian. but could
not get over fifteen minutes sleep before
was awake again, and when I got up
In the morning was more tired than
when I went to bed at night. I con-
suited a physician, who said l had in.
somnia. He prescribed for me bus his
medicine did mo no good and began to
feel that would have to give up work
altogether.
"While was in this miserable state
and utterly discouraged, l Glanced to see
an advertisement of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and was so i'm
pressed by the evident truthfulness of
the statements made that made up my
mind to give the remedy trial.
1t was in June that took my first
dose Of the pills. Before l had finished
the first box noticed a slight improve
ndeiit in my condition, nn6 hs continued
TO use the remedy the benefit became
more marked until, when the fifth box
was gone, could enjoy sound restful
sleep and wake up i'll the morning re-
freshed and ready to take up my work
with my old time energy. Ny health
has since remained excellent have q
good appetite strength to do hard days
work and ability to sleep soundly and to
wake up in buoyant spirits"
Insomnia ultimately wrecks health
completely It's earliest manifestations
should be checked at once by the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills which cure all
disorders Of the blood and nerves. They
are sold by all druggists.

GOOD SHAPE OF EARS.

II husked before the corn Is fairly we'll
matured the ears will not have SO
much food stored up, and consequently
their vitality will be weakened. Ex
periments have proved that corn al
lowed to fully mature on the stalk
gives the best results.
If gathered before 1t is fully matured
corn is difficult to preserve. When
dried in warm place II is liable TO
sprout, and unless there is a good cir
culation of air 1t will become heatei
and mody. Experiments indicate tn
the best results are obtained when tt
corn is stored In a dry and thorough.
ventilated place.
The most critical time In the han
ding of seed corn is the first month
after 1t has been husked. 1t Is unwise
to store IL In barrels, boxes or over
large quantities of other grains, as 1t
will gather moisture. One-third OF the
weight of corn at the time OF husking
is made up of water While the grain
may appear perfectly dry when stored
as soon as this moisture begins to ooze
out the corn will become wet-"gather
moisture, we say-if there is not
good circulation to carry of this ex-
uded water. This makes 1t unsafe to
place seed corn on the floor or on
shelf, as the lack Of free circulation
of air will often cause the corn on the
under side of the eur to become moldy.
1t Is good practice to place the corn on
q rack The strips should be as narrow
as practicable to allow admission OF
air from below. In case corn rack Is
not used 1t Ia good practice to hang up
the corn or to place 1t upon some
boards over the corn in the crib where
there will be a free circulation OF air
until such time ns there is danger from
severe freezing. If 1t is then not COM
pletely dry 1t should be dried artificial
ly or placed in ventilated room where
there will be no danger from freezing
When 1t once becomes thoroughly dry
and is kept dry, cold will not injure 1t.
The first cut illustrates good forms
of ears. These ears are well proper
toned. Their butts and tips are good
The rows are straight and the kernels

A FARM WOOD LOT.


By FRANK A. WAUGH, Hatch Expert
ment Station, Massachusetts.
One of the commonest Shortcomings
In farm management Of wood lots Ii
that the trees are cut without regard
to their reproduction. Constant fore
sight should be had to the future com
position of the wood lot. The valuable
species should be encouraged. Pines
and hemlocks should be allowed to
bear seed. Young oak seedlings should
be favored. A good growth of oak can
sometimes be secured from sprouts
coming up from stumps (eoppice repro
duction). Chestnut reproduces itself
vigorously In this way, especially
where young trees are cut close to the
ground.
It VIII ne noticed also that some spe-
cies follow each other In a definite sue
cession. On waste land. recently cut
over areas or abandoned farm fields
birch and poplar are usually the first
to appear. As soon as these trees have
formed a forest cover. have begun to
shade the ground, other species coma
In. Pines, oaks and hemlocks belong
to this second crop. Comparatively
worthless species may thus be taken
advantage Of to secure the establish
ment Of better species.
Improvement Cuttings.
AS already hinted, cuttings are to be
made not with sole regard to the
wants to be Immediately supplied. The
ohA
chosen largely with reference to the
trees which remain. The stand of tim
Der should be kept fairly uniform, not
so thick as to kill out good sized trees
and not SO thin as to allow heavy side
branches to grow. Where two good
trees are unduly crowding each other
one OF them should be removed. In de-
Gliding which tree shall go and which
shall stay the question is not 30 much
which will make the best lumber now
as which will make the best growth In
the next ten or twenty years. II the
future Is kept thus consistently In
mind 1t will seldom be necessary to
make any extensive Improvement cut
tings" just for the sake of helping the
wood lot. Every tree taken out will
represent an improvement cutting.
Artificial Plantations.
The typical wood lot and the sort by
far the most common In New England
consists OF natural forest. II 1t is
properly managed 1t will reproduce IT,
self indefinitely. No tree planting is
necessary. In many places, however,
even in Massachusetts, tree planting Is
necessary, practicable and profitable.
Our own wood lot contains both natu-
raj woods and planted areas. There is
one lot Of planted white birch fifteen
years old.
There Is another area planted with
Scotch pines and larch mixture twen.
ty-fve years old One Of the best arti.
fetal plantations Is Of pure larch TWEEN
ty-four vears old These trees were set
in rows four feet apart. with trees
about two feet apart In the rows. They
have done very we'll indeed and are
producing valuable timber.
