Only Farmers Trust in Providence

Farmers are the only people who
put all their trust in Providence.
The farmer not only trusts Provi-
dence for the rain and the sunshine,
but also for the price he is to get.
If there is no rain in Russia and
drought in the Argentine Republic
while there is plenty OF 1t in North
America, the farmer of this country
barvests big crop and gets a good
price. If there is drought in North
America and not much rain in Rus
sia the farmer here gets fair price
for what little he has, but If Provi-
dence favors him with plenty of rain
all over the earth he hardly makes
enough to pay for the seed he plants,
because the bulls and the bears of
commerce eat up all of his profits.
They bet millions of dollars that the
price will be only fifty cents when
natural causes would let it go to a
dollar, because il Is worth that to
raise it and to ship 1t to the places
of distribution in the United States.
Yes, the farmers trust to Providence;
but not so with the millers nor with
the shippers. They know that the
Lord helps him who helps himself,
and they know how to do that to the
queens taste. In fact, everybody
helps himself but the farmer. He
tries to follow,out the Bible doctrine:
If man steals your coat give him
your pants, also. Some farmers do
that, but others are learning better.
The farmers who are organized in
the American Society of Equity mean
to give the spectators a race for
their money. They propose to set
the price on whatever they produce
and to get that price, If they have
to hold the surplus until there is a
demand. They are going to act the
part OF Joseph and save up during
the fat years and during the fat
months and the fat days for the
years, and the months and the days
of leanness.-Farmers' Home Jour

Catarrh Of the Internal Orqans.
Parasite of the Flea,

of the flea, and found that it was
subject TO a parasite. This was a
species of mite, which preyed On 1t

Great fleas have lesser fleas upon
their backs to bite 'em.
In recent number of the Jour
nal of Hygiene Andrew Balfour gives
an account of the various phases in
the development of protozoan para
site found by him in the CUTS of a
species of flea. The parasites were
found in fleas of both sexes, and in
those which had not been fed with
infected blood as well as in those
that had.

Beauty of Silver Locks.

Silver hair is always a becoming
and enviable possession. In old age
it gives an air of softness and sweet
ness to the face, while in conjunction
with a young skin and fresh complex
ion nothing can be more charming.
The silver tone of the hair shows
up skin and eyes to perfection, be-
sides adding an air of distinction to
an otherwise everyday type of face.
Women who, up to now, have been
foolish enough to hide their beauti.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY
No Complaints of Midsummer Dull
ness-Liberai Orders for Fall
and Winter Goods.

There Is not the customary CON-
plant Of midsummer dullness In gem
eral trade channels. The demand
for seasonabe fabrics Is rapidly de-
pleting stocks that threatened to be
carried over.
Brisk retail trade Is accompanied
by more prompt collections Many
cities that were slow to respond to
the better feeling now send satisfac-
tory reports.
Jobbers and wholesalers are receiv-
Ing liberal orders for fall and winter
merchandise, and interior buyers are
active I'm the primary markets. Manu-
featuring returns tell of large orders
on hand, and heavy production dur
ing the first half of the year.
Lower prices for pig iron were due
to the larger output and more
prompt deliveries that reduced the
premiums paid for early shipments.
Consumption has not appreciably d.
minished. although few of the
steel mills are closed for repairs.
Despite some furnaces rendered idle
for the same reason, the total num-
ber in blast increased six during
June.
Quiet conditions prevail in the
primary markets for cotton goods,
bnt the mills are fully occupied.
There is mop respect of easier terms,
There is no prospect of easier terms,
ness under contract unless extensive
cancellations are received.
The strength of the market Is due
to the statistical position, as buyers
are compelled to wait longer for de-
liveries than ever before in the his
tory of the industry.
II is also noted that requests are
urgent for earlier forwarding than
the date under contract. showing the
light stocks in other than first hands.
There Is no prospect of relief during
the balance of this year at least.
Woolens are not active. New lines
of mems wear are being opened daily
without attracting much attention.
Little development is anticipaed be-
fore he end of the month.
A little increase is noted in the
demand for hides. Further improve
ment is anticipated. 1t is now the
season of desirable shorthalred do
mestic hides, upon which full quota
tions are demanded.

phoric acid, 1t is often good plan to
apply moderate application of SUI
perphosphate to land where the
stable manure IS applied, or where
sod Is turned for corn. The fer
tiliZer should be distributed all
through the sell rather than applied
to the hill in order to encourage the
roots to branch out all through che
soil in search of food. A few years
ago l saw an old field which had laid
out for years and had grown moth

ed as worn out. The broom sedge

Of a good grade superphosphate
drilled in with a common drill. Tho
field was put to coin and grew very
good crop of corn. In this part of
the country almost any old sod field
when well prepared will bring a
pretty good crop OF corn with an ap-
plication of phosphate only. II
the fertilizer is depended on to grow
the crop from year to year it will
soon cease to respond to such fer
tillzation, but the proper plan to pur-
sue is to get such lands to grass or
clover as soon as possible and get
something to supply vegetable matter
to the soil.
By@using the phosphate In connec-
tion with the stable manure the
manure can be made to go farther
and both being used together they
will give better returns than when
they are used separately.-A. j..

Use of Lime.

Can you explain the use of lime?
Does 1t burn out humus in the soil
or does it only free potash and phos-
phoric acid, in which case it would
not be injurious, as the elements
freed would be appropriated by plant
life? ]. e. B. r., Remove, Pa. An
swer:-Lime performs valuable
service to plant growth by rendering
the potash Of the soil more avail
able. 1t prevents the soluble phos-
phoric acid in fertilizers from form
ing a base with iron or alumina,
which is undesirable because phos-
pilates of iron and alumina are in
soluble. Lime also promotes the de-
composition of organic substances
humus, sod, etc. 1t hastens the
change of ammonia into nitric acid,
and sweetens the soil.-The Country

prefer pullets that will weigh with
out being fat, simply In good laying
condition, about seventeen pounds each
at laying time. Such puliets will grow
into mature hens Of twenty-one and
twenty-five pounds each. which Is the

The male should not be too large In
proportion to the females Of his yard.
If your females are small and you wish
to improve your stock, by all means
secure a medium sized male for the
first year. This advice is worth heed
ing, as 1t may save you disappoint-
ment and loss. The male should be

SOME BIG BITES.

They Show the Power of the Jaws OF
the Crocodile.
The power of the jaws of the croco-
ollie Is terrific, says Sir Samuel Baker
IN his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues, he had the metal
of a large hook the thickness of ordina-
~ telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap of the jaws when selling
live duck which he had used rs q
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
ono wing. On one occasion he found a
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as If divided by knife.
This, again, was the work of the snap
of the jaws of crocodile.
A Frenchman, NJ. Paul Bert, once
made experiments on the strength Of a
crocodile's jaws by means of a dyna-
memeter. He found that crocodile
weighing 120 pounds eXerted force of
30S pounds In closing his jaws. The
lion has an enormous jaw power. On
one occasion an African traveller push
cd the butt end of his gun into a lions
mouth, and the pressure Of the jaws
cracked 1t rs though it had been struck
by a steam hammer.

Winter Layers.

That it is possible to obtain birds
that lay we'll during the winter months
Is evident from the oft recorded report
of birds that lay more than 200 eggs
fl the course Of year. an average that
is only possible by fair return during
such months, says w. r. Gilbert in
Philadelphia Farm Journal.
Winter layers are obtainable by
Matching birds early In the year and
then helping the pullets through the
mott by the judicious use of nutritious
foods. The word "judicious" is the
key to the situation. Too much food
spells the layers eggs.
1t cannot be too freely reiterated
that laying hens should be maintained
in lean. hard condition and on no &C.
count be allowed to become fat and
