 It would seem the count of Monte Crsto had no more call for daring and resourcefulness than Diaz had in that period when Mexico was strug- gling to reach national existence. During his soldier days Diaz was thrice made prisoner and thrice made romantic escape. The first time he broke away from his captors and on horseback dashed over high stone wall. The second time he outwitted his jaers in the closely guarded prison at Puebla stole out by night on to the roof of the building where he was confined then along

AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE.

Any work that is consta. strain on the back is bound to hurt the kid neys. The lifting, digging and plant ing of farm work, the constant bend ing over desk or sitting at sewing machine, working for hours on 1arring. 1olting wagons or railroad trains; the stopped positions and the reaching, pulling and heavy lifting of a hundred different trades--all these are hard on the back and must wear, weaken and injre the kidneys. because the kid neys are in the very part of the back that feels the strain. When the kid neys are sick, every exertion sends q sharp, stinging pain through the back or loins. and you are weary and tired all the time.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thou sands of working men and women have given them strong backs for their daily work Doan's Kidney Pills help the kidneys to do their duty-to elim- mate the liquid uoisons from the blood and to send pure. health-giving blood to the muscles and organs. We would sincerely advise every man or woman whose work is hard on the back to take an occasional dose of Doan's Kid ney Pills. It will keep the kidneys we'll and the back strong, and keeping the kidneys well is hah the task of keeping the body we'll.

 } IN THE PUBLIC EYE

 Joseph Chamberlain is immensely popular and immensely unpopular, but appears equal to cop ing with both friend and foe. When assaied as he was so strongly during the Boer war and It's preceding and subsequent problems, his cool, cyn- ical meeting of attacks opposed formidable front to those that attempted to down him.
 Early in his career he was three times elected mayor of Birmingham, and during his terms of office carried through many public improvements in the face of obstinate opposition. In 1885 he became member of parliament, soon won distinc- tion hecanoa wildly known hy reason of the adYQ-

the best plants come from soil that is
filled to overfowing with manure
as the saying is. Seedlings may be
started in any good garden soil. Sow
the seed early in the spring in rows
about foot apart and not more than
an inch deep. Thin the plants prompt
ly when they have attained sufficient
growth, to few inches apart in the
rows and give the most thorough cul-
tivation. In the following fall or spring
take up the seedlings and set in the
permanent bed, not less than four feet
apart either way. Frequent cultiva-
ton must be given the plants and
weeds that may be under the leaves
should be hoed out-in short, keep
the patch clean of weeds. From ten
to twenty plants will be sufficient for
the ordinary household, and some will
be left over.
Tillage and fertility are the two
fundamentals in making a success of
rhubarb growing. Plow the ground six
to eight inches deep and, when plants
are used, set them with buds only an

class of fertilizers with the annual
crops, and there are good reasons for
such practice, as shown by fertilizer
experiments.
Annual crops, whether oats, corn,
potatoes, or vegetables, require that
their food elements shall be ready to
hand as their growth makes new de-
mands. The commercial fertilizer,
then, should be able to furnish avail
able food elements throughout the
growing season, and in the proper pre-
portion required by the crop. A study
of the chemistry of plant growth
shows very clearly that there must be
present a continuous supply of avail
able nitrogen, which requires that
some shall be in the inorganic and
some in the organic form.
The more quickly the crop is to be
grown in the spring the more inor-
ganic nitrogen will be needed, since it
is sooner ready for the plants than or
ganic forms. Soluble phosphoric acid
produces results more quickly and
thoroughly than the other forms, and
a well-made fertilizer should have at
least half of it's available phosphoric
acid in the soluble FORM All crops
remove from the soil much more pot

ash than phosphoric acid, and al
though the soil may furnish some of it,
without the positive evidence of field
experiments to that effect, fertilizer
should have at least as much potash
as it has soluble phosphoric acid.
Commercial fertilizers may be ad-
vantageously used in top-dressing
grass, and for such purpose it should
have high percentage of nitrogen, OF
which nearly all should be inorganic.
The phosphoric acid should be nearly
all soluble in order to be of marked
benefit, and the fertilizer should be ap-
piled in early spring while the soil
is thoroughly moist.
Finally, in the purchase of fertilizers
it should be borne in mind that it costs
just as much to mix, bag, freight, and
handle a ton of low-grade fertilizer
as one of high grade. By purchasing
a half ton of the highest grade goods
one buys more and better nitrogen, as
much potash, and enough phosphoric
acid to balance them, for less money
than he would pay for ton of low

vegetable matter of the old turf helped
maintain a satisfactory moisture con-
dition in the first year and was largely
destroyed before the second year.
The most economical use of COM
mercial fertilizers is only reached
when they are applied in rotations in
which the soil is maintained in good
moisture condition by the use of barn
yard manure or the vegetable matter
from crops grown for the purpose.
Although the food elements in a
commercial fertilizer form but one of
the several conditions needed for the
best development of the crop, it is
important that these elements should
be suited to the demands of the crop
at every stage of its growth, else the
product will not be as large as the
other conditions would permit. 1t is

Soil and Cultivation for Rhubarb.


A British Columbia reader makes in
quiry as to the best soil for the raising
of rhubarb and which method is prob
ably the best. This is a plant about
which very little is said in the agri-
cultural press, although it is one of
the most profitable for the market
gardener and should be on the table
of every farm house. 1t is easily
grown and is the earliest plant of any
that can be utilized for making delic-
ious pies, as we'll as large number OF
fine dishes. Rhubarb is commonly
grown by the root division" method,
as this furnishes the quickest and
generally the most satisfactory meth
cd. This is the only way any particu-
lar type can be increased. Propaga-
ton from seed is a good method and
many make a success of it without
much difficulty. The seed terminates
easily, and if started early the plants
become fairly large the first season.
This plant needs a soil that is moist
and mellow, and extremely rich, to
secure large and brittle stalks; in fact,

post with the ground in the hills and
do not permit fresh manure to come
in contact with the roots 1t is well
to keep the soil moist, but Overwater-
ing must be guarded against The
richer the soil the larger and more
brittle will be the plants, and these
may be pulled easily. Beds should be
renewed every four or five years, and
the number of stalks in a hill should
be kept down. When there are too
many stalks in one hill they tend to
keep down the size of the matured
plants. To set roots they are taken up
and cut to pieces. These pieces are
then set out in new beds, or may be
set in the old beds if properly clear
ed and enriched, the work being done
the same way as with seedlings. I'm
less you want seed pull up the seed
stalks or shoots that spring up during
the season. A few of these may. be
left to mature for seed.
