There never was a better opportunity
for persons suffering from diseases OF
the heart, nerves, liver, stomach and kid
news to test free a remarkably successful
treatment for these disorders. Dr. Miles
is known to be leading specialist IN
these diseases aud his liberal offer is GER
tainly worthy of serious consideration by
every afflicted reader. This opportunity
may never occur again.
His system of personal treatment Is
thoroughly scientific and immensely SUI
perior to other methods. 1t includes
several new remedies carefully seecte d
to suit each individual case and is the
! final result of % years of very extensive
research and great success in treating
these diseases.
Each treatment consists of a curative
elixir, tonic tablets, eliminating pills and
usually a plaster. Extensive statistics
clearly demonstrate that DR.. Miles per
sonal treatment is at least three times as
successful as the usual treatment OF
physicians or general remedies sold al
the stores.

INFLUENCE OF THE WAR ON
FINANCE.

Alexander d. Moves in Forum.-At
this writing, it is still impossible r.
say what the situation created by 40
miral Togo's extraordinary naval vic
tory means to the worlds finance. IL
is certain that financial Europe had
for weeks been asserting that the ar
rival of Rojestvensky in the China
seas-with III possibility of a Japan
csc defeat which would open the coasts
of Japan to the enemy and isolate the
Manchurian army-was the main de-
pressing influence on the markets. II
was so regarded because OF the gem
eral conviction that such a defeat
would prolong the war and widen the
opportunity for European complica-
tions.
The battle was fought and the Rus
sian sea-power was annihilated with a
completeness surprising the epoch,
making achievements OF Themistocles.

France, had refused 1t further money
accommodation. thar Germany was
grudgingly lending on harsh terms
and that its last recourse, a domestic
loan was fioated only by virtual com,
pulsion of the Russian banks. How
this deadlock was nnaiiy broken
through President Roosevelt's boio
and adroit move of mediation. and
how, on the 10th of June, Japan and
Russia consented to negotiate for
peace, is story that need not here be
retold, The question. for the longer
future, concerns the results the. the
return of peace will have on che fnan-
call situation.
Recent experience has rather shaken
the differences commonly drawn. how
ever from the buoyant prosperity
which followed the settlement of our
Spanish war. That the United States
was then on the eve of a real indus
trial boom" unconnected with the
war, and that the Treaty of Paris
meant, to the defeated power, release
! from a burdensome colonial entangle-
ment and s20,OO0.0O0 cash, had been
forgotten. The real meaning OF the
aftermath of war was not realized until
the pacification OF the TransvaaI in
1902, was followed by two years OF H.
nancfal exhaustion for the victorious
state The strain of the eaatern war
has been as severe as that OF t. South
African conflict. lt1emains to be seen
how its consequences will be felt by
the successful ana the defeated pow
ers, and, in particular, what is goir g
to happen to the huge political dere-
bet, Russia, as well as TO the European
market, e which that country owes
two billions Of dollars, and to which t
must owe much move If Japan imposes

though it sometimes proves much
cheaper than was expected. At any
rate, a good lawn is worth the price,
and there is no other way.
BY giving a change of food from
grain to something bulky a great saw
ing may be made. A pound of clegar
and a quart of bran should not cost

1 to egg production. The neyt morning
pound of cut meat and bone should
serve as a n cal, and it need not cost
! over a cent, while at night about two
/ pounds of pheat or corn, costing about
two cents, should answer. A dock OF
20 hens can be fed for i've cents a day,
and if but three eggs are received they
will pay for all the FOOD for the hens.
! A rather novel theory about the
onion root maggot is advanced by {. Nj.
Weed of the New Hampshire station.
He finds that the pest is very numer-
Gus on the roots of the yellow mustard,
and that in seasons when the mustard
is numerous the maggots give the
onion crop little trouble, burt Nhe.. inc

eggs of t2e maggot upon the onion
plants, ehus leading to tha tremndous
damage done in certain y,ars.
A pullet's egg will hatch as well as
en- egg from an old hen Most of the
y cry early eggs are likely to be from
pullets. They Will be small in size,
and until the pullet has got its growth
the egg shell will be thinner, showing
that much of the lime material in the
food has gone to build up the frame.
Because thinner shelled the pullets
eggs should be set only under hens or
medium size and that will make care,

Poultry and Fruit

An advantage in combining poultry
and fruit trees is that the attention
given the trees is during spring. sum-
mer and fall at which season the hens
can run at large anu pick up a large
share of their food while in winter,
when the trees cannot be cultivated,
the hens may receive full attention.
With poultry and fruit production the
grower can find profitable employment
the entire year, and the hens will give
a daily revenue when it is most need.
ed. A flock of hens viii thrive only
in proportion to the room provided
An acre Of ground win afford comfort
10 certain number, and while it is
not difficult to have the flock larger
than necessary, yet the number of eggs
will not be increased. About 100 hens
should be the largest number an acre
ought to maintain, and if they are
given good care will pay better than
twice the number, because the larger
flock will double the expense without
giving a corresponding increase in
product Any farmer who can make a
profit of $50 an acre on his farm will
DO more than can be claimed by many
others, but it is not so difficult to do
SO with poultry, as the land occupied
by the hens can also give crops OF
fruit. An acre in grass will give am
pie forage for 100 hens during the sum-
mer, without requiring food from che
barn, and the eggs will cost almost
nothing

gricdltnral lore

Farmer. The two kinds usually
noticed are round headed and nat
headed apple tree borers. The third
is much larger than either, AMI more
destructive. 1t is known as the
prionus or giant root borer. The
round headed borer works near the
base Of the tree, or near the surface
of the ground. This species requires
three years to reach maturity. The fat
headed borer more often attacks sick,
ly trees, and is especially likely to
enter at points injured by sun seald,
thus not only boring about the base.
but also about the trunk, and some,
times larger limbs. The prionus is a
larger boarer, abort the size of a
mans little FIR 1t usually works
near the timber, sometimes being
troublesome on the outside rows and
not bothersome in the interior of the
orchard. Nothing is known that will
reach this fellow, as the tree is gen
orally in a dying condition before his
presence is suspected 1t often begins
work in the top roo, and bores up
into the tree. l have seen young
nursery stock with the entire heart
eater out by this insect, only the bark
remaining, and have had Rome beauty
trees six years Old cut OFF by it.
When CAGE seen these pests viii al
ways be recognized at Cnce. Wood
peckers are effective in reaching the
borers that work above ground, their
beaks ara tongues being specially CON
structei FOR that purpose. The
washes so widely advertised for the
prevention of borers must be used
with great caution, for many Of them
contain elements injurious to the
trees. Many growers report loss OF
trees by the application of some or
the prepared washes. In a bulletin
issued by the department of agri-
culture soft soap reduced to the thick
ness of paint by the addition of wash
ing soda is recommended, and is prob
ably safer and better than most OF
the so-called tree paints offered fol
sale About the only remedy we use
is to dig out the larvae with a sharp
knife or wire. BY giving the
orchard thorough attention once or
twice year they can be kept in
check.

FOUNDATION OF MARK TWAlN's
FORTUNE,

Mark Twain says that in his earlier
days he did not enjoy the exceptional
prosperity which came later in his
career. 1t is commonly the lot Of
genius to suffer negie ct at first and
experience did not aiiect his abiding
good nature. In a conversation with
William Dean Howel.s on one occa-
sion the subject of literature vicissi-
tudes was broache1 by the humorist.
My difficulties taught me some
thrift" he observed. ''But never
knew whether it was wiser TO spend
my last nickel for cigar to smoke or
for an apple to devour"
Il am astcunded," observed Mr..
Howells, that person Of so little de-
cision should meet with so much
worldly success"
Mark Twain nodded very gravely.
'Indecision about spending money"
he said lis worthy of cultivation.
When I couldn't decide what TO buy
with my last nickel I kept it. and so
became rich"
