Unhappy Women !!

No woman can be happy when her

suffering I'm body and mind, she does not
live but only exists.
More than half a million such women
have found perfect and permanent cure
for their diseased condition in the use Of

was asked by Senator Armstrong how
he would conduct the investigation,
and told that IL he had any better
method the committee would be glad
to know of it. Mr.. McCurdy thought
that putting witness under oath
made him feel he was on the rack
He said his answers were published
in distorted form, that appeared like
an attempt TO ruin him.
The entire testimony OF the Gay was
a continual thrust and parry between
counsel and the witness, and when
adjournment was taken for the day
Mr.. Hughes had not finished with Mr..

Neighbors and Friends.

A very pleasant surprise occurred last
Friday evening when about thirty
neighbors an6 friends of William
Harrier, of Emerson, took possession of
his home, and reminded him that he
was fifty-two years old. The evening
was passed with music and games un-
til about eleven O'Clock, when refresh
ments were served. After refreshments
Mrs. A. Smith, in a few well chosen
words, presented Mr.. Harrier with a
beautiful rocking chair as token of the
high esteem in which he is held After
wishing that he might live to see many
more such surprises, the party said good
night and departed to their homes feel
ing that they had spent most enjoy
able evening.

School. teachers are receiving less re-
turn for their service than any other body
of workers or even laborers from whom
proper equipment was demanded and
intelligent service expected. 1t is prob
ably true that Michigan teachers are as
we'll paid as the teachers of most other
states, and yet there has been no such
advance in teachers wages during the
past ten years as in the case OF most
other employments. This fact accounts
for the further fact that there is now not
one man engaged in the work OF teaching
where a few years ago there were two or
three. We boast of our American schools
and refer with pride to our American
teachers, but statistics show that the
compensation OF the average teacher IS
hardly more than sufficient for their
present needs, leaving little or nothing
to provide for their old age.

think himself a more active factor in

not change. Faust is at once always
old and always new. Mans soul still
chafes within the iron restraints in
which it is bound; still seeks, as then
by supernatural influence, so now by
means of theosophy, spiritualsm, and
what not, to escape from the narrow
field of human knowledge and endeavor
to attain at bound the innermost kerr
mel of things. This type has always
existed, whether under the name of
Faust, Promotions, Titon, or whatever
it may have been called; and so in this
sense Faust may still be considered true
for us, and always will remain true,

not able TO cope and the end came

over llls many circles of friends. The
funeral will be held at his home in

Buying cottonseed Meal.

The first thing to look for is the
guarantee tag, required by law. giving
the name OF the manufacturer and
composition of the goods. A first
class cottonseed meal should contain
over forty per cent. of protein and
about nine per cent. of fat. 1t should
he light yellow color. If It is dark
in color with many fine black specks.
1t indicates that ground hulls have
been added. If IL is Il rusty brown col.
or. it indicates that the meal Is old
or the material has at some time under
gone formulation. Such meals are not
safe TO use.
The texture of the meal should be
about the same as finely ground corn
free from cotton lint. The presence
and amount of lint can be determined
by sitting portion in flour or meal
sieve. The lint and hulls are also
quite easily detected by stirring the
meal up with water. Put one teaspoon.
ful in half glass of water, mix thor
oughly and allow the mixture to stand
a few minutes to settle. The black
hulls will be found on the bottom and
can be seen through the glass. The
good meal will be in the next layer
and the lint OH top. A first-ciass meal
should show only a few black hulls
and scarcely any lint.
An expert can judge very well of
the quality of cottonseed meal by
means of tasting. The best fresh
meals have a very agreeable nutty
flavor not found in inferior goods. The
presence Of much fibre is readily noted
by the sense of touch in the mouth.
The absence of the nutty flavor and
the presence of rancid taste indicate
that the meal is old. NJ Bartlett,
in Massachusetts Ploughman.

Management of Moving Land.

Discussing the use of fertilizers for
grass lands, Professor Brooks, in the
May crop report of the Massachusetts
Board of Agriculture, says, that on
most farms the barn yard manure can
be used to better advantage on the
tllled fields than on the mowings. OF
the commercial fertilizers nitrate of
SODA is the most valuable for increas
ing the growth of the grasses proper.
About two hundred pounds per acre
is as much as ii has been found prof
itable to apply. 1t may be applied
alone with good results, but II seems
best TO combine It with some substance
10 give bulk, which is not too expen-
slve and which will supply potash and
the phosphates.
Basic Stag meal, which can be mr.
chased at about S15 per ton. is rec
commended, using from 300 10 200
pounds of the meal per acre, with 100
to 200 pounds of the nitrate. Professor
Brooks adds that II is possible to grow
good crops of the clovers without man.
ures or fertilizers supplying nitrogen,
and gives the kinds and quantities that
have proved most profitable on the
college farm. Lime is frequently nee.
essary in order TO bring our soils into
a condition that will allow the clovers
TO thrive.
There is a tendency to unevenness in
mowings, the result OF frost and other
agencies. and occasional rolling is rec
commended. In the case OF non-sod-
forming grasses condition may be bet
ter maintained If some seed is occa-
sionally sown. Great care should be
used in purchasing grass seed to Sc
cure that which is free from trouble
some weeds. When weeds obtain
footing reseeding is likely to prove
helpful, the best results being OBJ
tanned by blowing in midsummer, har-
rowing repeatedly until into August,
then enriching literally and reseeding.
