THE WAYS OF SQUIRRELS.
PecuIiarities of Voice and Action of
the Animals in Summer
and Winter.

cone of the most familiar sounds OF
the summer woods is the rafting bark
of the red squirrel" writes an observer
THE tones of his voice are varied and
there is a great difference between his
angry bark, his cry of fear, the chatter
ing mOnOlOgue with which he addresses
an intruder on his domain, the running
fire of repartee which is the constant &C
commandment of the antics of pair at
play. and the long rafting roll call
which he utters apparently from sheer
enjoyment of the sound or as challenge
to some unseen enemy Of his own tribe
and which reverberates through the
woods often with sufficient force to car
~ the Sound for as much as half to
three-uuarters of mile. If we listen
for an instant when we hear one OF
these challenges sent forth we may he9

so family that we cannot be certain t 4
it is not an echo. Some other male has
heard the challenge and, detecting the
self-satisfied note in it, has answered,
and we may be fairly certain that they
are fastening toward each other, each
with the intention of annihilating his
foe or at least teaching him lesson.
Gray squirrels, unlike most of the
rodents. do not hibernate in the winter
time. but are abroad and very active
during most of the season. Their nests
are then in hollow trees, but they usual
" leave these retreats in March and
build airier and less vermin-infested
abodes in the treetops Of leaves and
twigs. If you can watch gray squirrel
gathering nuts in the fall you will see
him take nut in his cheek pouch and
hop along the ground, testing it every
few yards with his front feet. When
he has found spot entirely to his lik-
ing he will scoop out shallow hole and,
placing the nut in it. will cover it up
with the loose earth. This he will stamp
down and restore to its former condi-
ton by scraping the loose leaves and
small stones over it.
This performance he repeats again
and again in that and other localities

Under date of January 10, 1897, DR..
Hartman received the following letter .
"My wife has been sufferer from a
complication of diseases for the past
twenty-five years. Her case has batfled
the skill of some of the most noted ply
sicians. One of her worst troubl was
chronic constipation of several years
standing. She was also passing through
that most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life.
6 In June, 1895, I wrote to you about
her case. You advised course Of
Peruna and Manalin, which we at once

SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNTS.
There Are About Seven Million in
the United States and
Increasing.

The number of depositOrs in the saw
ings banks of the United States has
doubled in the last II years The total
amount of their deposits has increased
from 81, 235, PAT. 81 in 1887 to $685.
204, 845 during the year 1908. The Off
cial statistics for 1903 show 1905, 228
individual deposttors, says Success
Magazine.
About one-half of the amount depos-
tied represents the savings of the
wage-earning class. The figures here
given not only show an increasing
prosperity among those Of small in
comes, but they also indicate an in
creasing frugality,
OF the total deposits of the entire
country not less than 3S.5 per cent
are in the state of New York.
The part of this grand total of de-
posits which is credited to the wage
earning class does not represent all of
the savings of that group. The build
ing and loan associations, with total
assets of more than S500,000.000 are a
favOrite form Of investment for many.
Then personal boarding, life insurance
and even modest investment in stocks
and bonds, are other means Of accu-
mutation. Many wage earners in coun-
try towns and small cities own their
homes. All this shows that the wage
earners of the United States nave a
large share in our national prosperity.

FACTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

English imports of butter have dOu-
bled in Is years, and are now valued at
about $100,000,000 year.
When the COWS are allowed to have
their calves run with them they should
be stripped twice a day to keep UP their
milking qualities.
In order to secure all of the cream,
milk must be kept sweet for II hours
with the temperature as low as so de-
grees unless a separator is used-Amer-
lean Dairyman.
Cornell university is to have a new
dairy building. In planning for this
building, Prof. Pearson has visited the
best dairy buildings in the country.
1t ruins a COW for dairy purposes to
have one person milk her to-day and an
other tomorrow, and the rapid changes
in the help soon make the business I'M
profitable.
Every man who has given any thought
to the subject knows that old-time meth
DDS will not apply to modern conditions.
Every dairyman should keep this con-
stanuy in mind.

DISEASE OF LETTUCE.
Plants in the South Being Attacked
by Peculiar Disease Known
as "Damping-off."

Much lettuce in the south and under
glass in northern states is suffering
from a peculiar disease known as
''damping off" In the CarOlinas and
Florida it is particularly bad this win
ter. One correspondent from Florida
says the Ohio Farmer reports that %
PER cent. of his crop is affected, while
others have lost their entire planting.
Oar present knowledge of methods for
treating this disease in field, cold frame
o.. dollhouse culture is very unsatisfac-
tory. The latest information, by DR.. A.
F. Woods, chief of the division of path
ology, United States department of ag-
riculture, is given below.
The damping-off or rot of lettuce is
very hard to control. We can only rec
ommend that you take all possible pre-
cautions to stop the spreading of the
disease, which is only accomplished by
the direct growth of the fungus through
the soil and by means of bits of the fun
gus carried on plows or cultivators, or
by the feet of men from one part of the
field to another. Remove all diseased
plants in the early stages of the trouble,
together with the surface soil under
meath them. These plants and the earth
around them should be carried from the
field and burned.
When lettuce is grown in cold frames
or greenhouses, the return of the dis
ease can be effectually prevented by
sterilizing the soil, which is usually ac-
complished by means of live steam ia
ken from a high-pressure boiler. Unless
some similar method can be adopted to
field culture, the only means that can be
employed to prevent recurrence of the
disease in the next crop is to use fresh
land not previously planted to lettuce and
to take much care that the saed-bed is
free from the trouble, as we'll as toayoid
infection from OLD fields. The disease
requires further study, especially with
respect to practical methods of control.

Grazing in Forests.

Grazing in forests is receiving the at
tention of the experts in forestry mat
tiers. Great damage has been done to
the forests by stockmen driving their
cattle into the forests during the hot
test time of summer. The underbrush is
browsed off and the soft ground tramped
so that it does not permit the air to get
through the sell to the roots of the trees.
The spongy soil that is found in the for
ests is necessary to the well-bcing of
many kinds Of trees. 1t is expected that
the government will take measures to
lessen the losses from the cause named.

Neither Liniments nor 0intmentS
Will Reach decentralization
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid Of a cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, 'What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste Of
time. The seat of the disease is Ill the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson experience with this
obstinate and distressing atftictlon Is
that of hundreds. He says:
about a year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains i'll my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
iication. He adds:
at had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as a cure
for rheumatism, and when | found that
Twas gettingn no relief from applications,
made up my mind that 1 would try
them. Before the first box was gone L
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the pur11-
cation and enrichment Of his blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism They do not merely deaden
the ache. but they eXpel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.
