So intensive culture Of the land Is
followed in the Japanese empire that
lines separating the estates of land
owners are imaginary and not fences,
as in this and some other countries,
which throw three or four foot strip
of land out Of cultivation, occasional
landmarks only being placed to mark
the limits of ones property. The I'M
productive and cumbersome fence and
posts must give way to grain or fruit
or productive tree.

The u mite d Drug

200 remedies, one for

Oftentimes you run

all of which dovetail to-

They have cut down

are the only intermediate

Could the United Drug

common sense tell you
that one poor medicine
would ruin the sale of
the other 100 prepara-

Rexall preparation and it
didn't do for you what
we claim it will, would
you buy another one of

not. Therefore each

Not infrequently the good housewife
complains of bad spots in the pota-
toes which cause a good deal of waste.
There are black places and ragged
gashes. This is caused by using a
sharp tined fork in handling the pota-
toes or they are shoveled up in a
wholesale way much as coal is ham
died. Many good potatoes are ruined
in this way and rendered unfit for

Each year much good farm machin-
cry goes to waste for want Of proper

Negligence, lack of time and poor man

poor reasons. The man who sells the

have nice new machine go In this
way as you might think, for he is pref
ty sure that the next good crop you

Too much underdone. bread and too

It is a wise man that is sharp enough

The progress which any community
Is making along the line Of improved
conditions Of agriculture is pretty ac-
curately indicated by the number of
manure spreaders which 1t possesses
to the square mile. The presence Of
this useful implement not only means
that good deal Of stock is being rails
ed in given community, but that the
Inhabitants thereof believe In saving
labor and have an intelligent concep-
ton Of the value Of the fertilizers
which accumulate as result Of follow
ing this system Of farming.

Following out the tendency of very
generally recognized economic law, the
high prices of lumber of all kinds and
grades is resulting In substitution of
other materials where possible, and
this is particularly true Of cement.
Thus are at work influences that win
not only result in decreased demand
for lumber products. but also lower
price, but which will tend to preserve
the forest areas of the country from
complete denudation.

A friend took us into his cellar the
other day. He felt justly proud Of his
harvest returns and wanted us to see
them. The carrots, beets, squashes,
turnips and potatoes certainly did pre-
sent nice appearance, but the best
part of all was the neatness and COM
pactness Of the place-no struggling,
mixed up heaps upon the floor to en-
danger your life every time you went
down cellar. Every box and barrel
was accessible and convenient ut any

1t is worth while for every person
who has money to invest to remember
that the soundness and financial integ-
rity Of investment companies are. as a
general rule, in an inverse geometrical
ratio to the return which they prom
ise on money placed In their hands.
And this refers not only to what we
may term interest returns on money,
but just as truly to the likelihood
which exists of being able to recover
the principal. All who are wise will
absolutely ignore any proposition look
Ing to an investment of money which
offers return of more than 8 or 10
per cent, and it Is pretty safe to stick
all offers of more than or 6 per cent
into the wastebasket without SO much
