This is disappointing. II women

By nature, women are adapted to
discovering the poles. The scientists
tell us that women breathe with the
upper part of their lungs and need less
oxygen than men. That is why they
can stand corsets and keep, warm in
diaphanous garments when a man
wants a summer, o7ercoat. That is
why they are so partial to ices. That
IS, why they seldom complain of cold
feet after tripping through the slush
in slippers. What is needed, in order
to speedily find the North pole, is an
expedition whose members won't get
cold feet.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Steamed Bone or Raw Bone.

1t pays to use bone meal on land if
the land be of suitable texture to per-
nit the bone to decay. It does not
pay to use any kind of bone meal on
land that is wet and loosely packed
or that is very dry and light. In the
former case the air cannot get at it to
help rot it, and in the latter case the
moisture can not get at it to help in
the same process. The disintegra-
ton of bone depends on the presence
of both air and moisture.
A farmer may buy steamed bone
meal or he may buy raw bone meal.
The raw bone meal will cost the most,
because it has in it considerable nitro
gen that has high value in the mar
ket. 1t is, however, of little value to
the farmer that can raise clover or al
falfa and thus get free nitrogen from
the air. The steaming of the bone
not only takes out the nitrogen but
it produces a chemical change in the
rest of the bone that makes it more
subject to the factors that produce de-
cay. Steamed bone meal thus decays
readily, and in decaying liberates the
plant food it contained. Bone meal is,
however, slow acting fertilizer, and
thus the application of one year will
show for several years to come. This
is an advantage on a leachy soil, but
is no advantage on the ordinary soil.
But where bone meal has been applied
the land is enriched for number of
years to come.

female moth lays about $50 eggs at
a time and these hatch in six days.
The grubs feed both night and day,
cutting off stalks of grass and grain.
When their numbers increase and
their food supply becomes decreased
they migrate from field to field, eating
everything in their way.
The worms are not easily checked.
The best method is to NOW swath
about them and burn all within it.
This destroys the grain or grass, but
is the cheapest method in the long
run. Some follow the practice of
poisoning all within their path by
applying Paris green. 1t is possible
that white hellebore would give the
same results. When a field that has
been infested is to be plowed, the
plowing should be very deep, that as
many as possible Of the pupae may
be destroyed. In this way the size
Of the future army will be greatly de-
creased
In Indiana this summer the farmers
in some localities have moved the
grass in infested meadows and burned
it, thus destroying the insects. Plow-
ing in burrows around an army will
also check its progress.

Fruits on the; Farm.

~
It has been my observation that
the farm that has on it complete
array Of fruit-bearing trees, canes and
vines is the farm that sells at a fancy
price in the market The ordinary
mortal, If he has the. money with
which to purchase farm, will pay a
good deal more for one on which are
the different kinds of fruits growing
in considerable quantities than he will
pay for few farm buildings and bar
rem land. The money value of a we'll
ordered farm is out of all proportion
to the money that has been put into it.
AS an illustration of this have in
mind little place on the edge
of netghboring village. A man Lad
bought lot for 5000 and put on it
$400 house. Then he spent few
dollars in trees of various kinds and
set them out. He did nothing more,
except live on the place for a few
years and incidentally take care Of
the trees and shrubs. He told me that
he thought he could get $3.50 or $500
for the place if he wanted TO.
But in the meantime the little place
had grown into thing of beauty, and
anyone passing would say that it had
the best arranged yard on the street
and that the shade trees were artis-
tically arranged. A man living on the
street was looking at the place and
admiring it and asked the owner what
he would take for it. ooh, thousand
dollars" he replied, thinking this
price one that would stagger the
other. But the other man quietly said,
''1'll take the place." and he did. The
few years Of growth in the trees and
shrubs had done the work. They had
been growing into money while the
owner was sleeping.
Fruits on the farm are no less en-
ticing to the buyer, but on the other
hand endear the farm so to the oc-
cupants that they seldom want to let
go of it. If you wish to wean your
family from the old place, don't plant
fruit trees, fruit canes or vines.-Mil
ton Knight, Cherry Co., Nebr.. in Far
mers' Review.

a case before the jury, being counsel

distilling "mountain dew" The Judge
was very hard on him, and the jury
brought in verdict of "guilty." The
lawyer then moved for new trial.
The judge denied the motion, and
remarked:
'"rhe jury and court think the pris-
Gner both fool and a knave."
After a moments silence the lawyer
answered.:

The BliQht Spore.

Professor Craig, of Cornell Uni.
versity,~ has for several years
been studying the cause of blight
on the pear tree, apple and
other fruits. No greater result has
been obtained, and none more neces-
sary to the understanding of blight,
than his discovery of the character of
the spore itself. It has always been
supposed that blight spores were
blown by the wind. and that certain
warm winds, in moist weather, carried
the spores to numerous trees, where
+ they terminated quickly. But he has
discovered that the spore is glutinous
that is, sticky, and is transported only
by adhesion to some moving obiecr
The object most commonly used as q
point of adhesion for the spore is the
honey bee. Hence the problem re.
solves itself into several others. one
of which is the coating of the tree
affected by the blight with something
that will prevent the bees from visit
ing it and carrying the spores to the
blossoms and tender leaf ends Of
healthy trees.

Good Foliage; Good Fruit.


There is saying among some
orchardists that good foliage means
good fruit. While this is not true in
every respect, yet it is true that good
foliage is necessary if we are to have
a large amount of fruit. The growing
apple cannot use food material that
has come up through the tree directly
from the roots. It must pass up
through the tree and into the limbs
and leaves, in which latter place it is
combined with the carbon from the
air, and is then ready to be carried
back to the fruit, into which it passes
and is used in the development Of the
tender cells that form the flesh of the
apple as we'll as every other part of it.
1t is obvious, therefore, that the
amount of fruit the tree can produce
will be regulated largely by the amount
OF material that can be prepared in
the leaves. If, therefore, blight and
rust, or caterpillars are permitted to
destroy the leaves, the preparation OF
food is stopped, and no more
fruit can be developed. Many a farmer
has seen his trees defoliated when the
fruit was half grown, and has seen
that fruit ripen without increasing in
size. This was because of this same
lack OF foliage. Therefore the protec.
ton of the foliage becomes one of the
most important objects of the intelli.
gent orchardist. Therefore he sprays
his trees with fungicides and with in.
secticides that he may have healthy
foliage during the entire growing sea.

The persimmon is highly es-

by many foreigners. 1t has the
characteristic flavor of the Amer

1t grows to good size and keeps well.
Near Peking the most popular sorts
of persimmons have rings or grooves
near the stems, which give them the
appearance of having had strings tied
around them when small and of hay.

G. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry of the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary canal
where it decays and poisons the entire system.
Eventually the results are death under the
rli!ne of some other disease. Note the deaths
from typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach
&d bowel trouble at the present time.
q. What causes Constipation:
a. Neglect TO respond to the call OF nature
promptly. Lack of exercise. Excessive brain
work. Mental emotion and improper diet
9. What are the results of neglected Consti-
pat:on:
A. Constipation causes more suffering than
any other disease. 1t causes rheumatism, colds,
tcvers, stomach, bowel kidney. lung and heart
troubles, etc. 1t is the one disease that starts
all others. Indigestion dyspepsia, diarrhea loss
cf sleep and strength are it's symplomS-piles,
appendicitis and tstula, are caused by Constipa-
s:cians, but few sufferers realize their condition
until it is too late. Women become confirmed
llVallds as a result OF Constipation.
G. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes The first question your doctor asks
sou is ''are you constipated! That is the secret.
@. Can it be cured!
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The common
is to resort TO physics, such pills, salts,
mineral water, castor OIL injections, etc, every
on: Of which is injurious. They weaken and

Cement on the Farm.

The use of cement is increas-
ing everywhere because men rec
ognize in it cheap material that
will stand many adverse condi-
tions. Cement can be adyan-
tageously used in many places on the
farm. Floors on which much water
must be used will do far better if
made of cement than if made of wood.
which soon rots if continually sub
jected to alterations of wetness and
dryness. The place where the car
riages are washed is one, and the
place where the milk trough stands1s
another. A good many farmers have
long since seen the advantage of
making their cooling troughs of CO.
ment instead of wood. The place
where the cattle are watered IS an
other place to use cement. Such
places are nearly always wet, and the
stock trample the dirt and water into
a mire unless some paving is done.
Some use brick, but these become dis
placed and the water goes down be-
tween them and softens the founda-
tions. Cement is a permanent i'm
provement in this respect, as the
water does not soak into it and drouth
does not shrink it.
