KILLS CATARRHAL GERMS.
Breathe Hyomei Few Times Daily and
Be cured-Goes Right to the Spot.

In treating catarrhal troubles, the first
thing necessary is to kilI all catarrhal
germs that may be present in the nose,
throat and lungs, thus freeing the sys-
tenn from the poison that they produce.
Stomach dosing cannot kill these
germs. A direct local treatment is alb.
solutely necessary, and for this purpose
nothing else equals Hyomei.
Its base is the famous eucalyptus
oil. This is combined with other heal
ing, aromatic gums and balsams, max

/ HORTICULTURE.
Trees in Poor Soil.


Among the numerous varieties of
trees now in cultivation, there are
some that do better on poor soils than
on rich soils. On rich soils these
trees grow so rapidly and form so
much wood that it does not harden be-
fore winter comes. This is the case
with the European larch. This tree is
one Of the most famous trees in Eu-
rope for the production of building
material. Larch wood is found in Eu-
ropean structures that are many cen
turtles old. The trees from which
those timbers were produced grew or
the tops of mountains in poor soil. It
was believed that the larch could be
made valuable tree for our western
prairies. Many thousands of trees
were planted in all sections OF the
prairie states. The rich soil of the
prairies caused rapid growth, and
the wood produced lacked entirely the
quality of the European larch. The
tops of these trees frequently froze. off
In winter, and the wood when used for
building material or for fence posts
quickly decayed. Our tree growers
have long since concluded that if the
larch is to be grown at all, it must be
grown on poor soils and under hard
conditions What is true of the larch
is true of many other trees.-Milton
Knight, Cherry Co., Neb., in Farmers
Review.

Plant Diseases and Their Remedies.
The government of the United
States, as we'll as the experiment sta.
tions, has devoted, very large part
Of it's attention to the study of plant
diseases and the discovery of rene
dies for the same. There is no greater
work than this. Plant diseases cause
immense losses every year to the ag.
riculturist. Many of these diseases
are very subtle in their coming and
in their work. Many of them exist
and do great damage without being
known. For an illustration we have
the apple scab fungus, which has been
doing very great damage since orch
ards were established, and it's pres
ence was hardly noticed by apple
growers. It affects the leaves, the
tW1gs and the fruit. Not till the bot
anlsts turned their attention to it was
it discovered that it was the cause
OF more losses than any other one.
disease or one insect. There are a
great many plant diseases, like rust
In our wheat, smut in our corn, mil
dew on our gooseberries and blight on
our pears. The discovery of methods
to check these, or of preventing them
altogether, would add untold millions
to the value of our produce.

The warning whistle came too late

Soil stin!ulants.

: A man is sometimess dezeiyed as to
the value of fertilizer, or so-called
fertilizer, by merely putting it on the
land and getting a large crop from it.
Some of the things that are thus ap-
piled to the land and have obtained
popularity among the farmers, are
mere stimulants. A real fertilizer is
substance that adds plant food to
the soil. A stimulant is something
that causes the plant food in the soil
to become more quickly available. It
Is therefore taking OUT of the soil the
latent plant food, andNby so much is
impoverishing it. When it does give
out, it will give out I'LL at once, be-
cause the plant food will be exhaust
ed. Such soil stimulants include in
their number freshly burned lime, gyp-
sum or land plaster, aid salt in mod
crate quantities. There was long
period of time when gypsum was sold
as fertilizer. Farmers applied it to
their lands and believed that it was
adding great deal of$fertility to them
because they found that after it's use
they were able to get larger crops for
some years than they8had previously
done. In the end, however, farmers
learned that gypsum ::ssdid not really
add anything to the Soil. It merely
helped them get out Of the soil what
was there. Gypsum and lime not only
liberate plant food, butTin doing so de-
stroy the humus, which makes the
land less able to sustain drouth. I
DO not advocate the use of soil stimu-
lants when they are Io be used as
stimulants. Both land plaster and
lime have place in Sur agriculture,
but they are as correctlVes to the soil,
rather than stimulants..s Lime, either
in the form Of 'burnedEock or in the
form OF ground unburned rock, cor
rects the acidity of tbe soil, and per-
mits the soil organisms to flourish.
The caust1c lime rathsr destroys the
humus and doubtless also has ten
dency to destroy SON organisms

An Arab Churn,

According to a traveller in Arabia,
the Arabs are not bothered with
having to choose between numer.
GUS patented churns. Every Arab
can make his own churn, and
he is thus independent of the
dairy supply man. He uses the same
kind of churn his ancestors did two
thousand years ago. When he wants
a new churn he simply kills sheep,
and he has to do that often anyway,
to supply his family needs. For the
making of the churn he selects a
small sheep; for it is not desired to
have the churn too large. The wool
is taken off the skin and the inside
cleansed as much as possible. Then
it is sewed up except at one end, Into
the finished skin the cream is poured,
and a string tied about the top of the
skin to draw the edges together and
prevent the cream stopping out. An.
other rope is tied to the skin and to
a ring in the wall to allow, the bag
to be rocked too and fro. The one
that does the churning sits on the
floor and rocks the bag too and fro
till the butter comes.

buy whole side at time. It is my
lnvariable experience that when ask
for a side of bacon the cheaper grade
is offered me. For example, last week
at a market in Chicago asked for
side OF bacon, and the man told me to
come right into the cooler. There he
pulled down fine looking piece and
was about to weigh it. I asked him
price; he replied 16 cents per pound.
I told him that was not the kind l
wanted, as he knew. He was not en-.
thusiastic about selling any other

cents per pound. believe it is as
cheap to pay 20 cents a pound for the
lean, hard bacon as to pay 16 cents
pound for the other, which loses
very large percentage of it's weight in
cooking. The man that is after bacon
doesn't generally want lard. 1 can't
see why it will not pay the farmers
to produce more bacon Of the leaner
sort. Albert Jones.

Fat Sows and Small Litters.a

During recent years we have heard a
great deal about some of our breeds
of hogs producing small litters, and it
is assumed that the power to produce
has been largely bred out of them. In
many cases at least the failure to pro-
duce large litters is directly due to
keeping the brood sows too fat, es-
pecially at breeding time. This should
be guarded against, even in the breeds
that are called lard producers. A we'll

Enlisted

I once lived In a valley
Where the flags of gain were furled,
And far beyond it's borders
Throbbed the drum-beat of the world,
Through many mist Of morning
I heard the throstle call;
From many a. cloud Of passage
I saw the shadows fall
One day climbed the mountains
That round the valley ring;
No more I saw my castles
Or heard the throstle sing;
But in that mighty battle
Where many bolt is hurled,
l heard my fellows marching
To the drum-beat of the world.
Here in the crowded city,
From dawn till close Of day,
Whereon each human anvil
thousand hammers play,
My shoulder to my fellow
The flags of gain unfurled-
I march-O heart take courage!-
To the drum beat of the world.

Thin the Branches of Shade Trees.
It is common mistake to permit
the branches of shade trees to become
too thick. This is true whether they
be conifers or deciduous trees. In the
case ofconifers, like the spruce trees
and cedars, the branches, being thick,
prevent the sun from reaching the In
most branches, which die. If one will
lie under some of the thick-branched
spruce trees and look up, he will see
Immediately surrounding the bowl of
the tree only dead twigs, and these
sometimes extend several feet from
the trunk. Such trees are unsightly.
The trees would be just as beautiful if
the branches were kept thin, and
there would be only green from.
the tips Of the limbs to the trunk of
the tree. Shade tends to thin out
branches. This is natures means of
pruning. When a deciduous tree, like
branches it can, it invariably kills all
the grass below it. Where shade
trees are grown grass is generally
also wanted, and the owner of the tree
tries every known art to make grass
grow under the tree. The only way
for him to succeed is to keep the
branches of the trees :thinned out suf-
ficiently to allow some light to get
through. This will not disfgure the
tree, and will save the grass. Thick.
ness Of branches does not add beauty
to tree, for it is obvious that limbs
that cannot be seen do not increase
the beauty of a tree, yet they prevent
the passage Of sunshine. BY thinning
out the inside branches the beauty of
the tree can be saved and the grass
at the same time. ..,>;
