While Angie was the light of the

BENEFITS OF STRETCHING.
Physical Exercise Of This Kind Re-
ieves Tension and Accelerates
Circulation.

A splendid thing for the body IA
stretching. When you first wake up in
the morning take good long stretch.
Stretch the hands as far out sideways
as possible. Then stretch them over
the head as far as you can reach and at
the same time stretch the feet downward
as far as you can. Raise the feet and
stretch upward just as high as you can
and then lower the feet and legs very
slowly, advises Medical Talk for the
Home.
When you get out OF bed raise your
arms over your head and standing on
tlptoe see how near you can reach the
ceiling. Then walk about the room
while IN this position. Stand on the
right foot and stretch the right arm for
Ward and upward as high as you can,
while at the same time the left foot is
raised from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is fno
exercise for the whole body and is espe-
clally good for the waist and hips, maxi
ing them firm and strong. Standing on
the left foot this exercise can be re-
versed.
If you have been sitting in the same
position for a long time reading, study
ing, writing or sewing. and the muscles
nave become tired and cramped, the best
thing to do is to get up and stretch.
otretch the arms upward and outward
and forward and backward. Lift the
shoulders as high as you can and drop
tnem. Expand the chest and breathe
deeply. Or, sitting in the chair stretch
the hands upward, lift the feet from the
MOOR and sthetch them forward as far az
possible Anyway SO you give the
muscles a good vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired there is moth
Ing more restful than stretching the
muscles and then relaxing. Stretch the
arms, the legs, the whole body and then
completely relax. Stretching relieves
the tension of the body, gives strength
and tone to the muscles. accelerates the
circulation, and causes one to breathe
more deeply. Women who wear tight
corsets or tight bands cannot take these
stretching exercises while they have
80 S~A~AA sA5AC NAoCuCS. Dut dL least g
first thing in the morning, or after un-
dressing at night, they should give the
poor, corset-cramped muscles a good
stretch. IT they would follow up these
stretching exercises every day. gradual
ly leaving off the corset, they would soon
have waist muscles strong and firm
enough to hold themselves up without
the use of the corset. and after they once
experience the JOY of free, strong body
they will not want to wear tight corsets
again.
When you wake up in the morning
try these stretching exercises. The
next time you are very tired see what
stretching will do for YOU If you do
not find that stretching will invigorate
and rest you. put strength and energy
into your body, We would like to know
about it.

THE ORCHARD.

The ideal soil for a peach orchard is
either heavy sandy loan or light
clay loan.
Every farm should have an orchard
and vineyard, and these should be
regarded as among it's permanent in.-
provements.
Where possible, the buyer of trees
for the family orchard should select
them from a nearby nursery, and
should visit the nursery himself to
make sure of what he is getting.
Most farmers cannot afford to take
time from their other work to grow
fruit for market, but enough should
be grown so that the farmers family
may have an abundance of each kind
in it's season. That is one of the COM
pensations of farm life.
Trees shipped long distances will
do as we'll as any other trees if they
are properly packed and delivered. 1t
sometimes occurs that the moss around
the roots is allowed to get dry and the
roots are therefore not in good condi-
ton at time of planting.-Farmers' Re-

SKUNK FARMS.
A New Industry Which Is Now Being
Developed in the United
States.

The United States holds many mover
farms. One industry that perhaps tne
average farmer would hesitate to en-
gage in is the growing of skunks. Yet
we have some skunk farms that are SAID
to be a success. For certain good rea-
sons the industry is one that is not ike
ly to be Overdone in the near future
1t is of interest to note, however, what
Missouri enthusiast recently had to
say regarding the enterprise.
That skunk farm is no joke he Is
quoted as saying. Several of us have
put up 500 apiece and bought a ten
acre piece of scrub land, which we are
now having fenced in. The inclcsure IS
such that no skunk once in there will
ever be able to get out We are digging
holes in the ground, and underbrush
heaps for the protection of the skunks.
I'VE have offered rewards for all the
skunks in the neighboring country. We
pay SIPS for u short or narrow striped
skunk and $1.50 for black one, the
latter being by far the most valuable.
Already one young fellow has caught
Is, another ~, and others lesser num-
bers. We shall probably start in with
about so. We will gradually develop
the breed by cutting out all of the
scrubs so that we can have black breed
in the end.
"A man up in Michigan gave us the
idea. He has ten-acre lot full of
skunks and is clearing from S. 900 to
$4,000 a year from them without a
stroke Of work, you might say
''The skunks become doinesticated
and are not troublesome We expect
to furnish enough fur to supply all of
Missouri within a comparatively short
time. There have been several requests
for stock in our concern, but We think
we have good thing and are holding on
to it,"

feet long. The sketch shows its con-
struction. Use short sections of oak to
hold the two planks about '28 inches
apart. Shoe the lower front edges
Two three-fourths inch rods "a inches
long, with rings at the front ends and
threads cut On the opposite ends, should
be used to bolt the drag solidly togeth-
er. Nail the cross pieces into position
with No. 40 wire spikes. Put heavy
washers on the rods next to the hitching
rings, also back of the burrs
Put detachable seat or platform on
top for the driver. Use chain, hooked
into each ring, and make the hitch so
that the dirt may be worked toward the
center of the track as required
Use a two or three-horse team, as
may be needed. AS socn as the road
begins to get dry enough, go over a
short piece of track, giving it a good
dragging. This treatment will fill the
ruts, distribute the moist earth evenly
over the track and slightly elevate the
center. 1t will pound, plaster and
cement the dirt solidly together and
leave smooth, hard surface that will
shed water readily, unless it be very
sandy.
After every rain, when the road be-
gins to dry out, repeat this treatment.
1t Will produce results on any road that
will both surprise and please everyone
who drives over the track. There will
be no ruts, hut hard, cemented surface
as long as r1is frequent treatment is
maintained.
