He Doesn't Curse Now.

Jesse E. Mitchell is a telephone line
man, and also a well-known resident
here. Everybody acquainted with Mr..
Mitchell knows that he was a man
who held very positive views about
Patent Medicine. Hear what he says

Medicines, for they never did me any
good, but Dodd's Kidney Pills have

Trouble. There was hurting across
my back that made it positive agony

Increased the Potato Yield.

In a three-year test of growing pota-
toes after clover at the Ontario Sta
ton, an average increase of thirty
seven bushels per acre was obtained,
as compared with growing potatoes
without the use of clover. For fertiliz-
ing the land for potatoes the author
recommends the use of a moderate
quantity of barnyard manure applied
on the clover in the fall. or Of we'll
rotted manure used In the spring; or, if
commercial fertilizers are used, an APP
plication of 500 to 800 pounds of or
more per acre in the proportion of 25O
pounds of nitrate Of soda, $50 pounds
of superphosphate, and 200 pounds of
sulphate or muriate Of potash. An in
crease Of forty bushels per acre was
obtained in a crop cultivated six times,
as compared with one cultivated three
times. In a three-year test spraying
with bordeaux mixture apparently in
creased the yield ninety-four bushels.
The cost of growing an acre Of pota-
toes yielding 300 bushels is estimated
at So IA.

Considerable argument is rife
of small and medium or large tubers,
for use as seed. 1t is claimed that
the small tuber will often generally,
perhaps) produce as large and fine re-
suits as the larger tubers used for
seed. We believe this claim is open
to question at least beyond the first
generation. for it is safe to say that
degeneration can only be the result
from planting the small tubers num-
Der of seasons in succession. This
reach. On the other hand. it Is quite
as logical to assume that the fine me-
dunn or large tuber, containing as 1t
must all the vigor and fine points of
the variety, will produce first-class
progeny and, we believe, this is es-
sentially the case when the seed tu-
bers are selected from ones own prod
uct and selected at the proper time and
properly cared for. If the seed pota-
toes are selected from the bin, be the
selection from small or the large tu-
bers, in the spring just about the time
they are wanted for use, it must not be
expected that they will give as good
results as those which have been prop
erly selected in the fall and properly
cared for. There is a decided saving
Of time, money aud fertilizer in the
careful selection of the seed potatoes,

the necessary Notwithstanding.

A rural colonial parson, finding great
difficulty In paying his way owing to
the lack of punctuality with which
his flock paid their tithes, recently hit
upon an excellent plan for giving back
sliders a gentle hint. Taking as the
text of his sermon the story of the
publican and the PhariSee, he read out,
Two men went up into the temple
to pray; the one Pharisee and the
other a publican. The Pharisee stood
and prayed thus with himself, God,
l thank Thee that am not as other
men are l fast twice in the
week, / give tithes of all that | pos
sess.'" Here the parson paused sig
nificantly, and looking hard at his
flock, remarked, Il could do with
few Pharisees in this congregation"

Preserving ExE..

Sc many inquiries are being re-
ceived concerning methods Of preserv-
ing eggs that once more space is given
to what is known as the waterglass
method, probably the best plan known
for this purpose. Waterglass Is obtain
able at any drug store of good repute
under the name Of silicate OF soda.
Boil the necessary quantity Of soft
water, and when it has cooled to each
ten parts add one part Of the water
glass. Then have a clean earthen jar
and put in it the selected eggs, which
should not be over day or two old,
and which should be free from cracks.
Pour the waterglass mixture over the
eggs, the mixture being about the con-
sistency OF thin mucilage, and set the
Jar containing them in a cool place.
Add more eggs as desired and also the
mixture, the plan being to keep the
eggs covered. This is the best egg
preservative known which is entirely

The Farm Tool.hop.


1t Is the exception, rather than the
rule, to find a shop as q branch of
farm work nowadays. We run to the
store for any little thing we want, pay
two prices for 1t and lose valuable
time. Our fathers had all of the small
tools In the shop and could make any
repairs not of a serious nature on any
tool or appliance of the farm and do it
quickly and inexpensively. Our hired
help are kept busy on rainy days 60
ing over tools and wagons, painting
and repairing. If the harness breaks
there are waxed ends of thread ready
for use or some rivets to repair larger
breaks. The shop contains a small
anvil and a wise as well as a wooden
clamp in which to hold the ends Of
leather when sewing them. Nails,
screws, bolts, hinges and the like are
kept in small numbers, but in various
sizes. Oils, monkey wrenches, chisels,
hammers and the like are always
there and we are prepared for any
small trouble. A very small corner
Of the barn is large enough for the
shop, and it wi pay to begin now to
fit up such a place, adding tools as
one can.

that the stream of water could not be

Continuous Wire Fencing.

The Iron Age is authority for the
statement that wire fencing is now
produced in continuous rolls by auto
matte electric welders. A number of
galvanized wires are fed from reels
arranged vertically and parallel to
each other, while from other reels ar
ranged transversely vertical lengths of
wire are placed across the horizontal
wires first mentioned.
Where these wires intersect they
are electrically welded, when another
section moves forward automatically,
and the process repeated.
