Cradle Song for America.
From the Philadelph.a Public ledge:

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The power Of the cradle song in the
making of a musical race, and the pos
sibility that American husbands will
have to be depended upon to bring
about a revival of the "Rock-a-Bye
Baby" was brought up today by Frank
Damrosch, as the luncheon of the
Mendelssohn Glee club in Delmonico's
was reaching the Home, Sweet Home"
point.
MI. Damrosch said that the folk IS
of Germany, France, Russia and er
countries expressed the yearnir Of
h people, and that they cam ON
the cradle songs of the mothers .nen.
w have nc folk songs ~ rica,"
he said. The nation is and the
race is just forming. There is, toe,
an absence Of the cradle songs. May it
not be that the time has come for the
new man, who will find the best IN
music in such organizations as this,
and transmit it to his home, where 1t
will in time develop into the cradle
sons?"
But the luncheon had been so rich
with melody, ranging from Hail, Hail,
the Gangs All Here" to MacDowell's
Crusaders" and the feast had been
so complete that there were singers at
the tables who expressed grave doubts
Of the policy of starting any cradle
song movement at least for several
days.,

Our Triumphant Athletes.

TIUII Ute INGW ! UTK OuH.
For the fourth time since the Olympic
games were revived in 1886 the strong men
Of the United States have triumphed over
the athletes of the rest of the world. The
games ended yesterday in the Stadium at
Athens and the team that displayed the
shield Of this nation for an athletic en-
blem carried off the greater part of the
honors. In 1896 at Athens, in 1900 at Paris,
in 1904 at st. Louis and in 1906 at Athens
once more the United States has been
triumphant. Perhaps it is cause for regret
that the United States failed to carry
away the trophy for the Marathon run.
Anyhow, 1T fell to a neighbor Of ours, as

SOME GARDENING SUGGESTIONS

Feeding the soil is the first and most
important requisite, for without rich
soil hat can be easily pulverized it is
impossible to successfully raise plants
so tender in their infancy as garden
vegetables. In preparing ground for
the garden carefully consider the con-
dition of the soil and the needs of the
plants. Fertility is plant food and the
soil must contain nitrogen, potash,
phosphate, humus and moisture in lib
eral quantities to fully supply the needs
of the plant. Good barnyard manure,
applied as a top dressing, will supply
these needs. Not only must the soil
supply these o elements, but they
must be thoroughly mixed with and
Incorporated in the soil to become
available as plant food Therefore let
the ground be heavily MANFRED and
every square inch, for a foo in depth,
we'll pulverized; the surface should be
smooth and even and if the soil is very
loose and light, roll the ground to make
it firm and compact.
Moisture is the chief element in both
plant and fruit and is hardest to supply
at the time and in the manner needed;
deep, rich, pulveriZed soil retains spring
and summer rain and acts as a reser-
VOir for this surplus moisture, until
required by the plant in forming new
cots, leaves and fruit. Every fine root
let IS q constant sucker, severely tax
ing even the best prepared soil for it's
s~ustenance, while in poorly prepared
soil it literally starves to death. 1t has
an animal nature, requiring food and
drink as we do. 1t is almost human in
its appreciation of good care. A fruit
plant with its roots exposed to the wind
and sur will die as 500 as q fish out
of water. When tr~ansplanting, keep
the plants cool and moist until set in
the ground. In setting, trim ends of
roots and broken parts, spread roots
out in their natural position and press
fine, moist dirt firmly about them. With
strawberries, have the dirt just ever
with the crown of the plant, with no
roots exposed n TO dirt over the top
Of the plant. Cultivate, hoe or rake
around plants Immediately after set
ting and every few days thereafter
throughout the season. Take a little
more pains with the garden this year
than ever before and learn to know
what a luxury a good garden planted
with a large variety of carefully cul-
tivated vegetables is. Too many farm
crs do not know this because they have
never had one.

odd Form Of Tree Grating.

w EEr - INV SAAE HAt
Some owners of forests of valuable
woods are trying experiments In The
southern part of Mexico with walnut
trees. 1t is not generally known OUT
side the trade that there are many
kinds of walnut woods and that only
part of them have so far been consid-
cred valuable from the commercial
point of view. Now the scheme is to
make these less valuable or worthless
walnuts commercially valuable. And
the process is a curious one.
1t consists Of opening the roots Of
the trees and inserting n or more
nuts, which are quite small, from the
best varieties Of walnut trees. 1t is
said that these nuts, which are care
fully sealed in wax or a stiff, water
proof stopper. impart a new or closer
grain and coloring to the tree.
The Southern Indians of Mexico have
for centuries been in the habit Of Sc
curing curious effects in coloring on
fine woods by inserting in the above
manner nuts of other trees into the
roots of the living tree. An enterpris-
ing planter in Tabasco has been fol-
lowing out his Indian idea with curl
gus results. He mentioned his to 9TH
er haciendados, and now several of
them are experimenting with the coars-
err kinds of walnut trees with encour-
aging results.

Treating Wrong Disease,

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
o from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
olsease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present

arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause 81 suffering, encourages this prac-
tjce until large bills are made. The suf-
Seflng patient gets no better, but probably
WORE. by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-

thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, n instituting comfort in

well said. that "a disease known is half

This Custom Is Now General.

A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Inducements Reid Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.

Canada Are Powerful.
A recent number Of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains an ex-
cellent article on the prospects in West
ern Canada, a portion Of which we are
pleased to reproduce.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different centres in the
States, will be pleased to give any fur
Their information as to rates, and how
to reach these lands.
than ever before on the part of the
outside world in regard to the claims
Of the Canadian West as a field of set
tlement At no previous time has there
been such a rush of immigration, and
the amount of information distributed
broadcast is unprecedentedly great.
In the majority Of the States of the
Union and in Great Britain the oppor-
tunities for home-making and the
achieving Of even a modest competence
are at the best limited. Moreover, ac-
cording to the social and industrial con-
dltions prevalent in those communities,
the future holds out no promise of bet
ter things. 1t is not strange, then, that
energetic young men should turn their
eyes to Canada's great wheat belt,
where every man can pursue fortune
without the hindrance Of any discour-
aging handicap.
THE inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably GER
tain is borne out by the history of the
country and its residents. The prom
Use Of gain is powerful, but when added
to it there is the prospect of a CORE
spending social and civil elevation, it
should prove irresistible to young men
of a particularly desirable class for
any new country.
The Canadian West is alive with OPP
portunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than a mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some Of the eager young fellows, who
arrive on the prairies daily, are des-
tined to become more han merely pros
porous farmers. In the near future
great municipal and Provincial develop
ment will be in the hands of the peo-
pie. The stepping stone to both finan-
cial prosperity and civil prominence is,
and will be, the farm. For every pro-
fessional opening there are hundreds
of agricultural openings. The Cana
dian prairies are teeming with Oppor-
tunities for the honest and industrious
Of all classes, but they are specially
inviting to the ambitious young man
who seeks a field for the energy and
ability which he feels inherent within
him. The familiar cry Of Back to the
soil!' is more than a vain sounding
phrase when applied to Western Can
ada"

Soap every day, and used about six
or seven boxes Of Cuticura Ointment.

FOR THE POULTRY RAISER.
Nest boxes should be put in the most

secluded and darkest part of the
house.
The earth foor is considered better
than a wooden one, for the latter is
usually damp.
Don't have holes in the side Of your
hen house, and you will not have a
hole in your pocket.
This is the season when advice is free
as to how to set a hen. Many overcome
1t by buying an incubator.
Ten hens are enough for one active
rooster, SO that the chanticleer need not
be accused of being a Mormon.
The constantly increasing demand for
beef scraps has caused the price to
advance to almost a prohibitive fig
ure.
The turkey crop grows annually less.
1t seems as if turkey growing on a
large scale could be made very profit
able.
There is a fascination in showing
birds and taking a prize from a dozen
competitors. Moral: Get busy for the
next show season.
Don't be cruel to the old hen that
wants to set. She is simply trying to
carry out Teddy" Roosevelt's ideas
against race suicide.
The simple life on the farm will have
to be abandoned for the time being, for

Encourage you sons and daughters
to take an interest in poultry. Along

When you blow about your chickens,
don't give eleven hens an average of

Do not overfeed YOU fowls and make
them lazy. There are enough gourmets
on earth in other walks of life. and
man is the chief being in this particu-

The main trouble in poultry culture
comes from the fact that few of the
thousands who take up the industry
nave a correct idea Of the conditions
that bring success.

HINTS FROM THE HIRED MAN.

The man who yells at the horses and
jerks them by the bits ought to be
off the farm.
The best man l ever worked for
taught me the value of reading things
about my work. After I had learned to
be a pretty good farmer in this way,
he raised my wages, because, he said,
II don't want to have to teach another
man in your place" No man who is
willing to work full time during the
rush season, who helps the owner to
plan, shows an interest in his work, and
keeps himself clean in mind and body
will ever be out Of a job.
Don't try to drink all the whisky in
town. It's too big a job for any man.
Be fair with the boss but don't be
a slave. No fair man viii require it.
Give the women folks a lift any time
YOU can. They will help to smooth your
way in return.
Don't be a crank
Keep your body and clothes clean.
If there is no bath tub in the house
rig up one from a barrel in the barn or
woodshed and buy a dozen bars of soap
and a dozen oath towels. They will
make you glad YOU are alive after a
hard, hot days work.
Be cheerful. The day will pass more
quickly if your heart is singing.
Laugh md. the world laughs with
YOU" kick and you kick alone.
Don't be afraid to help out in chores
on holidays. Give everybody a little
lift at such times. 1t pays.
The man who brags about the big
things he can do soon ecomes the butt
OF the neighborhood.
Save a little of your wages every
month. The rainy day may come.
Always keep in mind the day when
Won will be your own boss and hire
other men.
