Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by relocating the poultices, and in a few hours the pa- dent will be out of danger. This sim pie remedy has never failed to CUTS this too often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be found sufficient, but continue always until the precipitation starts from the chest.

AS showing what proper care will do in the matter of promoting the longevity of an orchard as well as along the line of increasing the profit to be derived from it a bulletin issued lately by the department of agriculture calls attention to a Baldwin orchard located in Orleans county, N. Y., which covers twenty-five acres and is today over fifty years old. The care given it has been so good that it is still in remarkable state of preservation. The crop of this orchard has in many cases been sold on the trees at from 5000 to $7,0O0.

According to figures published by the department of agriculture, there were In 1888 but ninety one farmers in the United States, so far as known, who were using the silo as an adjunct to their agricultural operations. Now they number nearly 5OO,OOO While the first silos were only used by men en- gagged in the dairy business on a large scale, they are today prized just as highly by those who are engaged in stock raising of any kind. In fact, wherever corn will grow and stock of any kind is raised there is a place for a silo.

The Mexican Central railroad has begun to sprinkle portion of its road bed with oil, which, it is expected, will protect the track and rOadbed from the rains during the rainy season and keep down the dust during the dry season. If the experiment proves successful the work will be extended over the system. It is believed that the large percentage of asphaltum found in the oil used will act as a preservative on both rails and ties.

That is a stale and anticipated theo- logical conception which views a state of true happiness as only possible be- yond the grave. We question if when the light of the resurrection morn breaks upon the eyes of the redeemed of earth they will view skies bluer, flowers more fragrant or lovely, grass of more satisfying tint or trees more stately than have been provided by the Creator to cheer us in our earthly pilgrimage. Heaven may be here and now if we but realize that it depends upon a condition of the human heart in which kindness, heIpfulness and love abound.

The use of farm products in the manufacture of denatured alcohol, which has been made possible by the late legislation by congress, will not only tend to relieve the farmer from paying tribute to the oil monopoly, but will tend to increase the price he re ceives for all products which may be used in its manufacture.

A friend of the writer reports excel lent results in ridding his fields of weed pests by blowing them in Au- gust. In case of most of the annuals this means the turning of the weeds under before the crop of seed is ma tured, while the batch that usually sprout from the plowed surface are in fine shape to get nabbed by the frost. Our friend further says that he gets even better results from what manure he may have to haul out by putting it on the land after it is blow ed with manure spreader and disking it in in the spring than by putting it on the stubble and blowing under later in the fall or the next spring.

There is probably no other agricul- tural or pastoral occupation that ap- breaches in point of monotony and a dead level of weariness that of sheep herding. There are instances where these men who have charge of big herds of sheep in the western states have gone crazy or committed suicide, driven to do so by sheer desperation of lonesomeness. All kinds of devices are tried to vary the monotony of the herder's life-anything that will tend to make him forget the herd in his charge and give him change.

The most important discovery in the manufac- ture of cement during a period o] twenty centuries was made early in the eighteenth century, when it was discovered that the quality of hydraul- ic cement depends upon the amount of clay In the limestone. The Portland cement of today was given its name by an Englishman who patented a process of burning lime and clay and gave the name because of the resem- biance of the product to the Portland limestone.

VOTING A SPLIT TICKET.

Sample ballots for the coming cleo
ton have been posted and all who desire
can inspect them at the city hall or
the voting places. As all parties expect
more or less independent voting this
year, a word about voting split ticket
may not be amiss. In order TO vote
for part Of the candidates on one ticket
and for others on another ticket, the
voter should mark cross at the right
in the little square space in the margin
opposite to the candidates name, and
the large square at the top of each tic
ket should be left blank. All voters
who propose to split their ballots
should bear this in mind and make sure
they understand it before going into the
booths.
