storing the Honey Crop.

Years ago il was the custom to store
honey in the cellar, as it was thought
that cool or cold place was what was
needed for the preservation of this
product. 1t is yet difficult to get this
notion out of the minds of many.
However, it was soon discovered that
If kept for any length of time in a
cool, damp place the honey would com
mence to sweat or ooze out of The un.
sealed cells, while if left in such a
place for two or three months the cell
cappings would assume a watery APP
pearance and finally burst.
Sc..s beekeepers work hard all the
season to secure a crop of honey and
then store ii in such an unsuitable
pIace that when it reaches market they
do not get nearly so much for their la
Dor as they would had they spent
more thought on having their product
reach the market in an attractive con.
dition.
Many in the east store their honey
in an upper room or attic. Where this
can be done there Is no better place to
keep 1t.
In two or three weeks time the
honey will thoroughly ripen, when it
can be prepared for market.-Farm

AWFUL SUFFERING.
From Dreadful Pains from Wound on
Foot-System All Run Down
Miraculous Cure by Cuticura

From Dreadful Pains from Wound on
Foot-System All Run Down
Miraculous Cure by Cuticura-
Words cannot speak highly enough
for the Cuticura Remedies. l am now
seventy-two years of age. My system
had been all run down My blood was
so bad that blood poisoning had set
in. l had several doctors attending
me, so finally 1 went to the hospital,
where 1 was laid up for two months.
My foot and ankle were almost beyond
recognition. Dark blood flowed out Of
wounds in many places, and / was so
disheartened that thought surely my
last chance was slowly leaving me- As
the foot did not improve, you can
readily imagine how l felt. I was
simply Disguised and tired of life. I
stood this pain, which was dreadful,
for six months. and during this time I
was not able to wear shoe and not
able to work. Some one spoke to me
about Cuticura. The consequences were
i bought set of the Cuticura Rene
dies of one of my friends who was a
druggist and the praise that gave
after the second application is beyond
description; it seemed a miracle, for
the Cuticura Remedies took effect i'm
mediately. / washed the foot with the
Cuticura Soap before applying the
Ointment, and took the Resolvent at
the same time. After two weeks treat
ment my foot was healed completely.
People who had seen my foot during
my illness and who have seen it since
the cure, can hardly believe their own
eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburgh,

AMERICAN WASTEFUlNESs.

sources Were lnexhaustible.
Instances of American wastefulness
abound on every hand, but there is no
better example than is afforded by the
devastation of the forests. Untold mill
lions of board feet of timber are left
every year by lumbermen to rot on the
ground or in stumps, and quantities. al
most as vast are destroyed by forest
nres.
1t was scarcely a decade ago that the
forests of the United States were be-
lieved to be inexhaustible, but now ev
erybody who knows anything of the
subject is aware that they are going so
rapidly that their complete extinction
is matter of only few years
This fact is realized by the railroads,
the great numbering concerns and other
extensive users of timber, and some of
them are taking steps to replace the
forests already destroyed. But from
the planting of the seed to the cut
ting Of the nIatured tree Is long time
to wait-from twenty to thirty years
and meantime where is the country to
look for its lumber supply?
The deposits of minerals and metals
are going the same way. In an adj
dress to the Columbia University grad

strous wastefulness" of the mining

Ventilation of Barns.

One of the great defects these days
in all large barns and many small ones
which are built is the lack of good
ventilating facilities. This is partly
due to Ignorance and partly to indiffer-
ence and partly TO lack of good plan
ming. This question is claiming the at
tention of some of the best architects
Of the day. No matter how well a
barn may be equipped or how perfect
the sanitary conditions, it will not be
a success until ventilation Is under
proper control. Many of the largest
barns are built with the express pur-
pose of raising blooded stock, and the
prevalence of tuberculosis among the
herds is thought In many cases to
originate from bad air.

Getting Rid of sas.afrns.

Sassafras is one of the worst pests
that can find hold on field. Cut 1t
down, or even grub it up, and it will
reappear almost unexpectedly, grow
ing rapidly and taking possession of
the land. There is a time when 1t can
be removed to the best advantage, how
ever, and that is by grubbing about the
1st of September, removing the roots.
and then clearing off the field. Should
any plants appear next spring, go into
the field and touch little sulphuric
acid on each-half a teaspoonful will
ans, 'er-and repeat should any roots
reappear later, first cutting off all the
plants that show above ground. This
is llso an excellent method of eradi-
cati ng thistles and other weeds that are
difficult to remove.

A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of ~liver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations. and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection OF other organs.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachisn Tube. When
this tube Is infiamed you nave a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Ca

Is somewhat different from that prac-
ticed on apples and other orchard

distance below the surface. The soil
is removed. the stock sawed off and
split, and the cion inserted after the
Ordinary cleft method The soil is then
returned and banked up around the
cion, on which there should be at least
two buds. The best time to do the
work is just as the stocks are starting
