FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds I'm watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincin.
natl Commercial, q ffty-one pound stone
was recently found in that city. secreted
in a bale of hay of eighty pounds.
ibis is not as bad as finding a lump OF
lead of nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is
secreted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the
means to the dishonest to rob the pub
lie. 1t is not pleasant for anyone to find
that he has lugged a lump of lead in his
watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the
case u. S. Assay" The United States
does not stamp any article made out of
gold and silver except coin, and the fakir,
by using this stamp, wants to make the
public believe that the government had
guaranteeing the fineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakir is to
advertise a watch described as a solid
gold filled watch with a twenty or twenty
hve-year guarantee. These watches are
generally sent c. o. d., and if the pur-
chaser has paid for the watch, he finds
that the Company which guaranteed the
watch to wear is not in existence.
The Dueber-H ampden Watch Company
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly eX-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are IN
this questionable business.

Spraying Kills Apple Scnb.

Experiments at the Ohio station have
demonstrated clearly that the apple
scab is the chief factor in the destruc-
ton of the apple crop, and hat this
fungus can be kept under contro by
spraying. Four splendid successive
crops were produced on the sprayed
trees at the station, while the fruit on
the unsprayed trees in the same and
neighboring orchards was worth less.
The director, Prof. Thorne, however,
calls attention to the fact that exhaus-
ton of soil fertility, want of water and
insect ravages may all cooperate with
scab or other fungus growth in short
ening the crop, and says: "If our or
chards are again to produce the great
crops of earlier days, we must, in so
far as possible. restore the soil condi-
lions of those days; we must avoid the
waste of water in these sections where
rainfall is scanty by preventing the
growth under the trees of weeds or
grass, and by keeping the surface in such
condition as to prevent rapid evapora-

sUBsoILs FOR
Unless They Are just Right 1t In Inn
possible to Get a Healthy
Growth of Trees.

In his last annual report Prof. E. w.
Hilgard, director of the California ex-
pertinent station, calls attention to the
Importance Of examining into the ma
.ure of the subsoil of the proposed or
chard site. He says:
Few persons can have an idea of the
extent to which the planting Of or
chards OF shallow soils underlaid by
hardpan or heavy clays has caused pc
cuniary loss, often almost ruin, to old
timers as we'll as to newcomers to the
state. Every few days there come let
tiers transmitting samples OF tree
branches having the "die-back," and
asking about the means of relief. We
might usefully stereotype the first sen
tence in reply to such inquiries, briefly
to the effect: Examine your subsoil!"
In nine cases out of ten it is either
hardpan or an impervious clay sub
stratum, which defects the roots side
ways after the second Oh third year, and
of course prevents a healthy normal
development toward the moist depths
of the soil, where abundant plant-food
awaits them in all good orchard lands.
More rarely it is a layer of coarse sand,
or gravel, which prevents the rise of
moisture from below; sometimes it is
the rise of the bottom water, which
causes disease of the deeper roots. and
also starves the tree. Almost invari-
ably the question is asked: What fer
tilizer must I apply to remedy the trou-
ble?" Well, in most cases no fertilizer
of any kind will remedy the difficulty;
the existence of which should nave been
ascertained before planting the orchard,
or, better, before buying the land at all.
Even in the east and in Europe, care
full farmers scrutinize the subsoil be-
fore investing. In the arid region this
is tenfold more needful, because of the
critical Importance of the subsoil, over
shadowing that of the surface soil, as
already explained. The irrigator who
pays so dearly for his water is doubly
interested in it, and ought always to
know how long it takes water t o soak
to a certain depth in his land, so as
to be sure that it does not run of the
surface of natural or artificial hardpan,
and flow to the neighbor below, instead
of soaking down.

CATCHING COLD
Is the Beginning of Most Winter
Acknowledgement Protects
Against and Cures Colds.

There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during
the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect a person from catching cold. Now,
if this is rue (and there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved,
and ems of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach OF
every one.
After a cold has been contracted a
teaspoonful of Peruna every hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh has be-
come established, or the first stages of
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to effect a cure.
It seems strange that as well known
and we'll established as these facts are

TWO N OF LAW.
One for Lnw-Abiding Citizens and

Georgia has a law intended to induce stock
owners 10 keep their animals in their own
fields, says the Atlanta Constitution. When
a farmer finds his neighbor's cattle in his
corn, instead of sending them to the pound
or shooting them, he puts them in his own
corral, and when the owner comes for them,
charges him 90 cents a head TO pay for the
trespass.
1t happened that when the law was under
discussion two neighbors were very violent,
the one in favor OF it, the other against it.

the man who had opposed it got into the 9TH

How to Clean the Churn..

A churn cannot be made clean with a
dirty cloth, and a cloth of this kind is
one of the best known places for breed
ing disease germs, and these may be
washed from the seams of the pans or
corners of the churn. 1t takes only a
few minutes to wash the cloths in cold
water, and then they should be put in
a strong pearline suds and allowed to
boil for at least 20 minutes, then they
should be rinsed and hung out in the
air and sunshine, and if this is done every
few days, the cloths may be always kept
white and sweet smelling. Midland

The extensive imports of leading
drugs, exceeding $4,000, 900 annually,
have led the department of agriculture
to study the possibility of probably
producing some of these at home. The
cultivation of golden seal. snake root
and similar native drug plants, which
are becoming exterminated in the wild

The Ielaves of plants like stramonium
cannot be produced profitably unless
