Farm wisdom.

Vegetable nature is very much like
human nature; it 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 moist
IRE 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 moist
ure supply Is necessary to maintain
activity in the tree, as it will make a
large draft upon soil moisture, while
making new wood and large fruit, and
IL moisture fails then it may be forced
into dormancy before 1t can furnish
good strong buds for the following
years bloom.-Epitomist.

How to Keen House,

With all the Injuries and pleasures Of
this life, its big enjoyments and its 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 III some form at some time
Triiling as some Of them may be, the
risk is that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with COP,
slant torture. There is nothing, theKs
fore, Of this kind that we have a right tc
trihe 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 well regulated household
ought to be without a 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
S%ciatlca, Lumbago. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up a sort of insurance against
pain.

"Why, II you keep on grinding

This wasn't very pleasant pros

certain for himself whether he did grit
his teeth unduly. And while he was
still unable to stay awake long enough
to find out, he did discover that he had
habit at times of grittlng his teeth In
his waking moments, when he sat back
from his work to think of something,
for instance. And he made up his
mind that he would stop that, anyway,
and he hoped that he might thus stop
grinding his teeth In his sleep, II he
did so grind them. For, fine as they
