Home Medicine Chest in Danger
The home medicine chest is in
danger. If certain people have their
way, no one will be allowed to take q
dose of any kind Of medicine in this
country except on a doctors written
prescription. The remedies that nave
been brewed ut home for generations
will be put under the ban of the law,
and the use of so-called patent" medi-
cincs that are prepared In large quaint
ties from the best prescriptions OF
lending physicians will likewise have

son can have for attacking all proprle-
tary medicines few will understand.
Most Of the standard remedies have
hern in existence. and in common use
for many years, and to deprive the
American people of them would be to
take away the remedies that every
family has almost constant use for.
and the use of which they thoroughly
understand.

How Eoolscan Got Its Name.

Every one probably has wondered
why a certain sized paper, familiar to
all who Write, is called foolscap. AS
early as the year 1901 water marks
We're employed by paper manufacturers
to distinguish their products. One
grade of paper much in demand during
the middle ages, resembling what we
call foolscap and known by that name,
had for its water mark Il FOOLS cap
head wearing cap and bells. The mark
appeared on this grade of paper until
the middle of the seventeenth century,
when the figure Of Britannia was sub
stituted by the English manufacturers,
and other marks by other paper maxi
ers. No one has. however, changed the
name of the paper, so we have to this
day the foolscap paper.-New York

WOOD ASHES in ORCHARDS.

The application of wood ashes TO orchard
soils should be more general for the potash
in the unleached wood ashes will be very
welcome to the soil particularly If the soil
has had but little fertilizer for a consid-
cradle period. Many fruit growers com
plain of damage from the use of wood
ashes but If such has been the case it was
due to II too heavy application close to the
Tree. In our work in this direction we
start three feet from the trunk of the tree
and spread the ashes broadcast out as far
as HE branches extend and then work
them lightly under the soil with rake or
harrow if the later can be worked to adj
vantage. We have one old orchard in sod
on which we used potash in various forms
but largely by means of the unlcached
wood ashes and figure that when the trees
become Improbable because of age. which
will be in Il few years, the wood ashes will
lave been paid for by better apples and we
will nave Il meadow left which will be pro-
| titable because of the ashes used every few
years. 1t will probably be necessary to do
a little reseeding after the trees have been
removed but this is a small expense.

FARMING IN SETTLED coMMuNI.
TIES,

to the picture of farms located close to
thriving villages and particularly SO If
manufacturing is carried on in such sec
tons claiming that the prices of labor on
the farm are increased by the proximity
of the factory and that the young are
lurcd away from the farm by the seem
ingly better return for labor In the factory.
That there is some truth in this cannot be
denied but, on the other hand, there are
advantages which offset the disadvan-
tages. One of the most prolific causes of
discomfort with the farm is the loneliness
so evident. If the farmer and his family
are socially inclined or are progressive
they naturally chafe at being SO located
that they cannot carry out their ideas.
One of the most progressive and intelli-
gent farming communities we ever saw
consisted of a section where wise settlers
had laid out farms averaging fifty acres
each with no, more than six hundred feet
frontage. This village consisted of nearly |
l.G0 people, two thirds of whom We're
farmers. the other third being the more
thickly settled section in the business por-
ton. The people had many ccnveniences, !
came into frequent contact with each 9TH
err and so, willingly or unconsciously, the
entire community was benefited. Men
are naturally generous and If they have a
chance 10 talk or work with their fellows
will do much to help another over ii bad
place. Don't frown on closely settled
farming sections but on the other hand do
something to build Your own section up so
that all of the inhabitants will benefit.
FEEDING BEDDING TO HORSES.
' Ii is not to be said that farmers are feed
ing to horses material which has been
used for bedding: not quite as bad as that.
but obey are feeding material which ought
tc be used for bedding because it is not fit
for food. One of the most remarkable
IDEAS among some farmers are those which
nave TO DO with feeding his horses. Dur
ing the season of work the horses are well
fed hut when there is little for them to do
the farmer Seems; to consider that the
horse should no. eat, SO he is fed just
enough to keep life in him. Spring comes
around again and the poor horse. if still
alive, is put to work much beyond his
strength and utterly ruined. This is some
what exaggerated perhaps but too many
farmers work mighty close to this plan.
True. it Will tot do to feed the horse as 1t
is fed when doing hard work but 1t should
have enough food TO sustain life ana keep
it in good vigor ready. with a few days of
extra care. to take up any work asked of
it. Use the poor straw for bedding and
give the horse food he should have. Try
the plan Of having bread made from the
corn cob instead Of the grain: eat it for
Il month and you'll then have Il faint idea
of how the horse feels who is fed on bed

Day Of Hansings.

Last Friday was evidently day of
executions in America. In three
States murderers paid the penalty for
their crimes. The Gaze of Mrs. Rod
gers of Vermont attracted the most
attention from the fact she was a
woman. She killed her husband and
the crime was not denied. She faced
the rap with nose GOODNESS than the
average man. she was hanged and
the law indicated.
IN California young man twenty
years Of age was hanged for the
murder of woman who had support
ed him by life of shame. She re-
fused to furnish him all that he de-
sired and he killed her. In Georgia
another execution took place and a
murderous negro paid the life penalty.
All three cases were carried out by
the law and not mob violence and
in each case there was no question as
to the guilt of the parties.
