Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(Special)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsy A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it..
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows:
II was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year l could not do as much as a
baby could do, then l rallied a little
bit and then a relapse. Then a year
ago the govt set in my hands and feet.
l suffered untold agony and in Au.
gust, 1903, when my husband died l
could not ride.t to the grave.
II only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured mel"
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

Common Beans.

All the common beans (Phaseolus
vulgaris) that we have in our gardens
are supposed to be natives of tropical
America, and this will account for
their great tenderness in the presence
of frost. 1t has been only after many
years of breeding up that we have
varieties that can be made to mature
in so short a time that they can be
sown after the danger of frost is over
and mature before danger of frost in
the fall. 1t is a remarkable thing
that a plant like the bean can have
it's nature so changed as to time of
maturing that two or more successive
crops of string beans may be produced
in our short northern summer.
Beans really need good soil to do
their best, and above all things they
must have an abundance of sunshine,
as they had for untold centuries in
their tropical habitations the fierce
light Of the tropic sun. If they are
given all the sun they need they ma
ture a crop much quicker than if they
are not. 1t is said by experimenters
that there is a difference of two weeks
in the time of ripening a crop given
the sunshine it needs over a crop
that has only partial sunshine.

Keep the Onion Field Clean.

Lean bear witness that it is neces-
sary to keep the onion field clean it a
good crop is to be expected. Onions
do not owe the ground as completely
with their tops as do some other
plants, and it is therefore necessary
that more work be done with hoe and
c%ultivator. The corn crop, the potato
crop, the bean crop, all shade the
ground with their tops and help to
Keep down weeds, but we have very
little help of that kind from the onion.
l remember the field of a neighbor
OF mine that l used to see every day
during n summer. He got behind
with his work and paid o atten-
ton to his corn than he did to his
onion field, which covered several
acres. The weeds came up thickly,
and it vas not many weeks before
their roots formed almost a complete
mat in the soil and checked the
growth of the onions. When the man
got around to %cultivating that field he
declared that it was useless to at
tempt to get the weeds down, as they
were thrlftier than the onions. The
onions had been dwarfed, and the
work of cleaning out the weeds would
not be paid for by the onion crop
now already stunted and cut short,
in spite of anything that could be
done.
1t will pay to put on extra help fol
a few days if the onions need to be
cultivated, especially when the wealth.
er is wet and the plants and weeds
are growing rapidly. After the grow
ing season is largely over it is not a
matter of great moment, or not sc
great as it was earlier. But now fol
the next few weeks no time should
be lost in attacking the weeds in the
onion fields and the smaller they are
at the time of being disturbed the
better for the crop.-John Administer

Cross EertiIize.

Whatever kind of fruit we grow it
is best to plant it so that if possible
it may get cross fertilization. We
do not know how many different kinds
of fruit need to be fertilized by the
pollen from another species, but we
have learned enough about it to know
that as a general thing the fruit is
surer if %pollenated. I could tell
of pear orchards that bore little or
nothing for years till they were graft
ed with other varieties to give them
the pollen. There is the Keiffer that
has SO often proved fruitless till it
was grated with CARRIER. The same
is true to a considerable extent with
apples, and it is notorious that plums
will sometimes not bear at all unless
cross fertilized.
Now when l plant a pear, apple o,
plum orchard l put more than one va.
riety in the same neighborhood. The
planting of many trees of one variety
in a block operates against the pollen
ating of the blossoms, and this is
shown by the blossoms falling with.
out fruit setting, or, if the fruit sets
it falls off before it is very old. This
is one cause l believe of the great
falling of apples we have" every year.
1t simply means that some of the bios.
SONS were not %pollenated and would
have no seeds in them if they grew.
In most cases the seedless apple does
not mature, though there may be a
variety that will mature it's fruit with.

KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE DRAFT,
Then You Won't Catch Cold, Says a
Doctor-Just a Matter of Nerves,

Ooctor-Just a Matter OF Nerves.
The trolley cold, which is the result
of exercise followed by a ride in a
street car, is just now easier to catch
than at any other time. Then there
is also the subway cold, produced by
the same causes and just as violent in
its uncomfortable effects.
Nobody need suffer from either sort
of cold if the testimony of a physician
is of any value.
Nobody need catch cold, even in a
draft" he told a patient the other day,
$50 long as he continues conscious of
the fact that there is a draft blowing
on him. Just keep that in mind and
there is no danger.
But forget it for a moment and
there is gong to be trouble. Taking
cold is largely a matter of nerves, and
any man who follows my advice, sits
tight and thinks of the draft all the
time that it is blowing on him will
escape taking cold"

Dew On the HaY,

Before long hay making will
be with us, and we will have
to consider the various prob
lens connected with the harvesting Of
the grass crop in the form of hay.
Keep the dew off the grass when it
is being put into shape for hay. 1t is
a mistake to begin to NOW too early
in the morning, especially when the
night has been quiet and a great deal
of dew has fallen. When the wind
blows little dew collects on the grass,
and if the sun is hot the mowers may
begin to NOW much earlier than they
otherwise would. Clover hay should
be raked up and put into cocks before
the evening dew begins to fail.

Farm Fences.

Farm fences are always mat
tiers of expense and no more
of them should be retained on the
farm than is necessary. In case of a
permanent pasture, that only will
need to be fenced. The shape of the
pasture counts for a good deal in the
use of fencing. The form of pasture
that will use least fencing to a GER
tain area is the square. Every devia-
ton from this means an increase in
the length of the fence.
