What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
II corrects inability to hold water
and scaldiug pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. II stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

LINING SOILS.
Make Tests With Blue Litmus Paper
Before Applying Lime.

The acidity or alkalinity Of the soil
may be tested by the use of blue lit
mus paper, which can be secured of
any druggist. The litmus test may be
made by moistening a portion of the
soil SO that 1t will stick together. and
inserting the litmus paper in cut
made with a knife. and closing the
soil together compactly around the
paper. II within a half hour or less
the litmus paper turns pink the need
of lime is indicated. Where tests are
not made, and the soil has not been
lined for years, 1t is much safer to
lime than to run the risk of the alfalfa
or other crops being killed out by
the acidity of the soils. The amount
that should be applied varies with
different soils. clay soils requiring
a heavier application than sandy soils.
On clay soils which have not been
lined in many years about one ton
per acre should be applied. while
soils in which the acidity has been
partially corrected should receive a
proportioncte amount. On sandy or
humus exhausted soils 1t is not ad-
visable to put on more than one thous-
and pounds at one time. for lime is
an indirect fertilizer. and liberates
plant food by fastening decomposi-
ton of the organic matter in the soil.
and thus reduces its fertility. Clay
soils are more retentive of plant food,
SO that less is lost by this decomposi-
ton. and. furthermore. the clay soils
are improved greatly in texture by
the collection of the smaller particles
OF the soil into larger ones.
Oyster shell lime or stone lime is
generally used, though other sub
stances, such as mari, may be used
more economically. where they can
be obtained on the .arm for the ex-
pense of digging The lime should
be applied on the surface, and worked
In with the surface soil, and 1t should
be put on In as active condition as
possible. To do this the lime should
be slaked with water, and as soon as
slaked should be spread as evenly
as possible. 1t may be applied with
a shovel. or with the lime attachment
which comes with fost manure spread
ers.
Ground stone lime. which has re-
Gently been put on the market. says
the Journal of Agriculture. is a finely
ground lime. which is easily distribut-
ed. and is thought to be better than
the burnt lime. as it can be applied in
the active state. 1t can be applied
through the fertilizer attachment of
the ordinary grain drill.

EERTiLIZING THE SOIL.
Be Sure You Put in What the Plants
Will Use.

The man that .'lts into the soil fer
tilizer wants to make sure that 1t is
utilized by the plants for which 1t Is
placed in the ground. 1t Is possible
to apply barnyard manure and espe-
cially the chemical fertilizers under
conditions where they will be ineffec-
tive in doing the work they are intend
ed to do. 1t may be taken for granted
that II the fertilizers are placed In dry
soil and the soil remains dry 1t will
do plants no good. More than that.
in the dry soil the destructive chemi-
cal processes will be going on that
will burn up the fertilizers of an or
ganic nature.
When men SOW such chemical fer
telizers on the surface of the ground
and merely cultivate them in, when
they are cultivating to make dust
mulch, they are but taking he surest
way to destroy all the fertilizer Of an
organic nature as fast at least as 1t
yields up available plant food. Mois-
ture is needed and a quite constant
supply of it in the form, not of water
such as exists below the water table
but such as exists in the soil as film
water around the soil particles.
Mr.. Thomas C. Wallace, who has
spent his life studying fertilizers and
soil questions. has now charge Of
large fertilizer business in California.
He tells the writer that in that state
it is found exceedingly difficult to fer
tilize the grape vineyards. This is
due to the fact that the vineyards
are on light sandy soil, and the sand
is perfectly dry down sometimes six.
eight and ten inches from the surface.
The moisture and heavier soil is be-
low that. Thousands of grape growers
have put expensive fertilizers into the
surface soil of their vineyards to have
it do apparently no good. The reason
Is that the moisture is not present
that would set it free for the use of
the plants. The rains that come &C.
casionally wash very little Of this
down to the soil below. 1t is evident
that such fertilizing materials as
ground bone will remain for very
long time in such soil without doing
good. An occasional irrigation also
has little effect in setting loose the
plant food from the stored-up fertiliz-
er. If dried blood is put into such
soil it is evident that 1t will soon be
burned up in the dry sand and will
largely disappear in gas produced by
its chemical changes. The vineyards
are not cultivated on account of the
practice of allowing the vines to die
on the ground without supports.
The same principle holds good In
any part of the country where dry soil
is the bed in which manure is placed,
says the Farmers Review. There
are many people who have the
idea that manure once put on the
soil will lie there till 1t is utilized II 1t
takes years. That is a costly mis-
take. The air receives some of the
most valuable portions Of all fertiliz-
ers so applied. Fertilizers must be
gotten into the moist soil to become
available

COURAGEOUS EDWARDS.
Famous Men Whose Hearts Failed
Them in Their First Battle.

1t was fortunate for Frederick the
Great that he was not under the com
mand of Gen. Bingham, the police COM
missioner of New York, says the Bos-
ton Globe. If, instead of prince, he
had been ''one of the finest" he sure
~ would have lost his badge and been
kicked OF the force, sharing the hard
fate of the policeman who was de-
graded for fleeing from man with a
smoking revolver.
Frederick never would have receiv-
ed a second chance after his celebrat-
ed funk at Molwitz. 1t would have
been all over with him when he fled
from that first battle. There was no
door for him to get behind, as there
was for the terror-stricken patrolman,
and SO he spurred his horse till he
was miles and miles away from the
frightful scene, where he had aban-
doned his army and sought safety in
flight. Late at night he was found COW
e-;ng in an old mill and his humilia-
ton was only dsepened when he learn

ABOUT THE FARM.

The cow should be turned dry a
month or six weeks before the arrival
of the calf is expected. Never milk
a COW up to the time she is expected
to be fresh.
Under no circumstances should any
thing be added to milk to prevent it
from souring. Such doings violate
both the laws of God and man. Clean
illness and cold are the only preserva-
tives needed.

of everything as it is to raise inferior
products. Be satisfied with nothing

sand justifies this pleasant concep-
ton, but those who know them best
have no Illusions about the thousands
of Migrants who roam over the coun-
try. In cities persons generally re-
gard the tramp frivolously as they
laugh at the colored pictures in comic
weeklies: but it is very different with
those who dwell in thinly settled dis
tricts. There the hobo is a serious
menace-he trespasses. steals and
sometimes even wrecks a railroad
train and commits assault or murder.
An Incident at Ridgway.
An incident at Ridgway. on the
Pennsylvania railroad. a week or two
ago shows how train crews are in
danger from tramps. In this case 1t
was a bottle of nitroglycerin that did
the damage. putting four or five men
in the hospital and injuring one of
them so badly that his leg had to be
amputated.
Two freight trains were about to
leave Ridgway when the conductor of
one of them found a man lying upon
the top Of boxcar. The crews Of the
two trains. when about to eject the
man. found him apparently powerless
to move. He seemed to be in a drunk
en- stupor. In his pocket was a bottle
which the trainmen thought to be
whisky. This bottle was taken from

damage.
"Hobo" Depends on Rail.
To nearly everyone the picture of a
hobo" riding on freight train Is a
familiar sight. 1t takes only a min
ute's thought to grasp the fact that
the railroads are the most valuable
asset in the tramp's existence. A
tramp cannot remain a tramp long un-
less he can move about and be a
stranger to whomever he meets.
Thus the hobo" depends upon the
railroads to go from city to city and
from state to state. He cannot pay his
fare. rarely having money. SO he steals
his rides and thereby becomes a tres
passer. II "rlde-stealing" can be pre-
vented. vagrancy will receive its

Eggs Absorb Odors.

It is not generally known that the
egg shell is enough porous SO that
bad smells where eggs are kept can
get into the eggs. For this reason
the advice is given not to use disin-
fectants where the strong odors will
come into contact with the eggs. For
tunately the time of the year when
disinfectants are used in the poultry
house need not coincide with the time
when eggs are being laid in large num-
bers. 1t is perfectly feasible to shut
up the henhouse for some days while
1t ia being disinfected. if this occurs
in the summer time. The disinfecting
is for the purpose of destroying in
sects and the germs of disease, and
this work is best done when the fowls
are shut away from the house. The
warm weather is naturally the time
in which to use strong smelling dis
infectants.
