working Poultry and Strawberries.
When one speaks of poultry In con-
nection with any low-growing plant
most people can see only the scratch
Ing birds and the ruined plants, but the
combination has been and Is being
proftably carried out II one selects
one of the larger breeds Of hens for
this combination the scratching part
Of the proposition will be reduced to
minimum, and If the fowls are not re-
quired to obtain their entire living
from the patch Of strawberry plants,
they will do comparatively little dam
age. 1t Is, Of course, understood that
the fowls are not allowed on the patch
until after the fruit has been gath
cred, but from that time until they go
Into winter quarters they will be ex-
ceedingly useful, for they will take
good care Of all the insects, do little
damage in the way of scratching which
can be readily repaired by going over
the plot each day, and their dropphgs
will add materially to the richness Of
the plot. If the plantation covers
considerable area it will be good plan
to have several small colony houses on
the plot SO that the hens may have
their own quarters and thus work over
a smaller area. The profit from this
combination is good, and neither will
interfere with the other, especially If
the fowls are raised for egg produc-
tion. Try it on a small scale and in
crease as experience proves it pays.

II those who have shrubbery on their
grounds would but remember the SIM
pie fact Of the period Of bloom and that
blossoms come on the new growth they
would remember when to prune. The
blossoms on the spring blooming shrubs
are formed on the wood that was
grown after the blooming season Of a
year ago, hence If these shrubs are
pruned in the spring we simply cut off
the fiower-bearing shoots and no flow
ers are had. The time to prune spring
Towering shrubs Is just after they have
stopped blooming, So they may have
the rest of the summer in which to
grow the flower shoots for another
spring. The fall-blooming shrubs
should be pruned in the spring, for
they will then grow the flower shoots
for the coming fall period of bloom.
One can see how simple 1t is If they
will but remember.

A Hotbed for an Amateur

A more ambitious method than that
of growing his early flowers in boxes,
kept in the house, may be tried by the
amateur gardener who is also an anna
teur carpenter. A hotbed may be built
at small expense. Old window sash, or
single sash purchased cheaply, and
four boards, one inch thick and one
and one-half feet wide, may be put
together to form the hotbed, the boards
being used for the walls.
Warm stable manure should be put
in the bottom, from one-half to three
fourths Of foot deep, and firmly
pressed down. The bed should be we'll
drained. Light soil, to a depth Of one
or two inches should be spread over the
manure and after one or two days
when the temperature Is cooled down
to 70 or so degrees, the bed Is ready
for use.
The plants, In pots or boxes, should
be put In the bed. The boxes may be
prepared as for indoor use, with ordi-
nary garden soil at the bottcu, and
lighter soil on top. Large holes >sould
be left to drain the box. The fine seed
should be sprinkled on the surface, and
fine soil sprinkled over it. and the
coarse seed sown in drills, or pressed
down into the soil, and covered with a
thin layer Of. earth. The soil should be
gently sprinkled with water as soon
as the seed is planted and kept moist,
without becoming soggy.
The hotbed Should be shaded from
the hot sun, but there should be plenty
Of light The cover Of the bed should
be kept on until the seedlings have
started to make good growth. On warm
spring days the plants should be given
fresh air by raising the sash slightly.

Where it Is desired to thicken grass,
or increase the variety in lawns or
dooryards, mucH may be done by sim
ply sowing seed. The sprouting will
be favored by the shade of the grass,
and the growth Of the young plants by
a frequent clipping, 30 that by late
summer or before good sod will be
established. The principle is that cut
ting prevents shading the young grass
and supplies it with sun and air, thus
giving It an equal chance with the old
grass, II the ground is rich enough, as
1t generally IL In lawns and dooryards.

but whether 1t can be profitably grown
over any considerable territory can
only be discovered by experimenting
with 1t. So far. In limited tests, it
seems to be better than any other Of
the English varieties, but its quality
is not nearly as good as the old IA
vorite with American growers, the
Downing. 1t shows less tendency to
mildew than other European varieties,
although 1t Is doubtless susceptible to
that disease. 1t is not advised to plant
this variety largely without first test
Ing 1t through several seasons.

New Seed Wheat Treatment.

]. H. Wright, farmer residing near
Hennessey, O. T., has made a valuable
discovery that will be of general inter
est to wheat growers everywhere.
He soaks his seed wheat in coal OIL
using about one-half gallon to every
twenty BUSHELS of wheat, covering it
over with a blanket and letting 1t soak
over night. He>found it equally effec-
tive with corn, using one-half teacup
to a washtub Of corn. He finds that it
not only preserves the cereal from rot
ting, but preserves it from insects. Mr.
Wright has practiced this for more
than three years, and his yield has
been a great deal more than that Of
those who had better soil for planting.

Cut-Worms on Wheat.

Reports from Canadian and King
fisher counties state that wheat is be-
Ing seriously damaged by cut-worms.
The entomologist Of the Oklahoma ex-
pertinent station has visited fields
where the worms are at work, and
recommends spraying strip of the
wheat just ahead Of the worms with
paris green at the rate Of one pound
to 100 gallons of water. The spraying
should be done while the worms are
feeding on the wheat, and, of course,
no stock should be allowed to pasture

Much Needed sweet Potato.

A sweet potato that will keep as well
as the white potato is what Professor
e. ]. Wickson, of the department of
agriculture of the University of Cali
fornia, thinks he has discovered. 1t
was picked up in the Ladrone Islands
by a skipper, who took aboard lot of
excellent favored sweet potatoes last
April, and, finding them still in good
condition upon his recent arrival in
San Francisco, gave specimens of them
to Professor Wickson. They will be
propagated in the hope Of working in
the commercial world Of potatoes a
revolution that will be worth many
millions of dollars to California and a
boon to mankind.

a new game will be presented on the inter-

that many new alliances have been created

ALCOHOL MOTOR CARS

PHILADELPHIA. July 2-Charles E.
Duryea, a pioneer in the building of auto
mobiles, says that alcohol was used as far
back as 1892 in one of his cars 1t was
then used for experimental work only. Now
that the free alcohol bill has been passed.

experts Of the American Motor Car Manu-
facturers' Association. believes that there

HARVARD TO PLAY FOOT BALL.
President Eliot Let's It Be Known
That the Game Is on Trial.

The definite announcement Of the Yale
Harvard foot ball game to be played at
New Haven on November "a has settled the
fate of foot bali at Harvard. The last des-
perate effort of President Eliot to keep the
Crimson of the intercollegiate gridirdn this
year failed. It Is safe to say that in view
of the hard fight DR.. Eliot made against
the game the Crimson authorities will be
very careful to eliminate all its evils this
year. Dr. Eliot has let 1t be understood that
foot ball is not sanctioned at Harvard. but
that it Is merely an trial, and II the game
out entirely hereafter.
Athletics at Columbia University have
been left In a most deplorable state by the
failure OF the three committees from the
faculty. alumni and student bodies to agree
on joint report to be made to President
Butler. Had some agreement been reached

equally potent ingredients ado
greatly to its value, and, in fact, are
not less important than the Hydras-
tbs, or Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung and
kindred ailments Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root each plays as important a part
in effecting the phenomenal cures
of Golden Medical Discovery" as
does Golden Seal. All these in
gradients have the endorsement OF
prominent practitioners of al

diseases of the bronchia, throat and

Queens root, Golden Seal root,
Stone root, Black Cherrybark and
Bloodroot, all articles extolled by
leading practitioners of all the
schools, as the very best of cough
medicines, are made especially val
liable when combined with chem
ically pure glycerine, which greatly
enhances the curative action of all
these ingredients in all bronchial,
throat and lung affections, severe
coughs and kindred ailments.
Who can doubt the efficacy of
such a compound, when scientifically
made up, as in DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery? Who can doubt
that it is a most effective remedy for
the several diseases for which its
ingredients are so highly recon-
mended by the foremost writer's on
Materia Medica.
1t Is in the cure of the more
chronic or lingering, persistent and
obstinate cases of bronchial, laryn-

II was DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief con-
sulting physician to the lnvaiids
Hotel and Surgical Institute at But
falo. n. Y, who first advocated the
extended use of some of our natly e
roots. Golden Seal, for instance
which was only taken up within the
last decade and recommended to Al
lopathic Physicians by DR.. Bartho-
low, has been the chief ingredient in
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery for forty years.
So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities OF all
the several schools of practice in
praise of the native, or American,
medicinal plants which enter into
the composition of DR.. Piercc's
Golden Medical Discovery, that in
attempting to quote from the va
rious works OH Materia Medica one
hardly knows where to commence,
since they are so voluminous that
only the briefest and most impet-
feet reference can be presented IN a
short article like this.
Briefly, then, let us say that the
Golden Medical Discovery was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root of which en-
tiers largely into its composition. Be-
sides this most valuable ingredient
it contains glyceric extracts OF Stone
root, Queens root, Black Cherry
bark. Bloodroot and Mandrake root
Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., an en-
inent practitioner of Chicago and
Professor of Materia Medica in the
Bennett Medical College of that city,
in his recently published work on

Many other authorities as well as
DR.. Ellingwood eXtol the Hydrastls

sages, stomach, bronchia, gall ducts,
kidneys, intestines and bladder.
Among these we may mention Prot.
John King, NJ. D., author OF the
American Dispensatory; Prof. J, N.
Scudder. NJ. D., in his Specific

Hahnemann Medical College of
Chicago; Grover Coe, NJ. D., OF
New York, in his Organic Medi-
cines;' DR.. Bartholow OF Jefferson
Medical College and scores of other
leading medical writer's and teach

All the foregoing eminent authori-
ties extol the curative virtues OF
Golden Seal in cases of stomach,
liver and intestinal weakness, tor
por and liberation OF bowels. DIR.
Ellingwood recommends it most
highly In those cases of atomic dyS-
pepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative. He also extols it most
highly in the many weaknesses and
arrangements peculiar to women
