TAKE UP SOIL SURVEY.
New Assistant Chemist at Experiment
Station Has q Big Job Ahead.

Mr.. n. c. Hammer of the Penn
sylvania experiment station has
been appointed assistant chemist
to the Texas experiment station.
This appointment is made posi-
bic by the recent appropriation by
the Federal Government under the
Adams act, which set aside funds
for carrying on original investiga-
tions at the several State expert
ment stations. Mr.. Hammer is a
graduate of the Miller School in
Virginia, and also of the Universe
ty of Virginia. He has had ex-
perience as a chemist at a blast
furance and more recently at the
Pennsylvania experiment station.
Mr.. Hammers first work when
he arrives in Texas will probably
be the continuation and compile
ton of a soil survey of the State
of Texas, which has already been
begun by DR.. G. S. Traps, State
Chemist. The plan is to collect
representative soil samples from
many different sections of the State
and subject them to a careful che
mical analysis for the. purpose of
ascertaining the stores Of plant
foods that they contain. This will
show the deficiencies of each kind
of soil and will indicate clearly
what sort of fertilizer should be
applied. The task undertaken is
au enormous one and will require
years of persistent effort, but the
results to be attained are of such q
as to compensate for all
the labor and expense involved in
its accomplishment.
In addition to this general soil
survey other problems connected
with the soil will be tackled, such,
Tor example. as the best source of
Dhosphates for rice and other
,rops, and The effect OF salt water |
upon rice. The work is very tech
iical in character, and when APP
olied TO the problems of actual
farming the results are found to be
Intensely practical.

A SIMPLE FORMULA
PRESCRIPTION OF AN EMINENT
SPECIALIST is GIVEN.
Necessary ingredients Cost Little
and Can Be Secured at Any Good
Drug Store-WiII Break
Cold Quickly.

Mix half ounce of the Pure Virgin
Oil of Pine with two ounces of glycer-
inc and half a pint of good whisky;
shake well and use in teaspoonful
doses. A noted authority on diseases
of the throat and lungs who estab-
lished a camp for consumptives in the
pine woods of Maine, declares that
the above formula will heal the lungs
and cure any cough that is durable.
1t will break up cold in twenty-four
hours. The ingredients can be Sc
cured from any good prescription
druggist at small cost.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce Walls for dispen-
sing; each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper, showing the name-Virgin
Oil of Pine (Pure) prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations Of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are put out
under various names, such as Concen-
trated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc.
Never accept these as a substitute for
the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they
will invariably produce nausea and
never effect the desired result.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is also
said to be a perfect neutralizing agent
for uric acid.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
Il am sc years old and have had con-
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, / gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the first. The rheumatism
that / used to suffer from has left me.
l sleep sounder, my nerves are stead
Ter and my brain clearer. And bear
testimony also to the food value of
Postum-something that is lacking in
coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich. There's a reason.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf-
fcred 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

"When I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each OF my
lower limbs. l scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
could scarcely walk. When | had
been suffering for about month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled by such severe
itching that, until l became accus-
toned to it, / would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After / suffered about
ten years | made a renewed effort to
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a Salve. l then used to
battle the sores in mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In adj
dition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact |
was continually giving some remedy
fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used IS -,
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, 1 thought 1 would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes / was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to
find cure. 1 shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer

French Presidents Double

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Honore and feels overjoyed at being
saluted on all sides.

A SIMPLE BRooDER.
Correspondent of Farm and Home
Tells of One She Made.

I put my chicks in a homemade
brooder. This was a box 3x4x11s feet,
with lid about one foot wide to raise
to put the chicks in. A No. lantern
was placed in the center in crock of
water (this to keep its oil cooD and
around this slipped the rim of can
21 inches in diameter and about IA
inches high. Warmed sand was placed
over the bottom of box, and on this
1 put the little chicks. For conven-
fence in taking out and putting in
the lantern, a hole 10x10 inches was
made in the top of the box over the
lantern and covered with a board.
Then over the whole / threw heavy
piece of carpet, large enough to cover
the top and sides.
The chicks seem comfortable and
warm, and sufficient ventilation gets
in through the cracks in the box.
There's nothing stylish about this
brooder, but it answers the purpose
very well, as only four of my chicks
have died and all the others seem to
be doing fine.

American Idealisnn.

Since my first arrival in, America !
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, or studied the life and read
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing can be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the loftiest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him a far-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers Of his
age-Baron Speck Won Sternburg, in
Forum.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will Open Up Immense Area of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
1t will, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by G.
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail-
way will do its share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed trip from Port
o5O Ac1 L Oil AZ W A2OAIOALOA Al q "a al
rie schooner, a distance of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even if Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to time limit
with the exactitude of a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in a position to take part in the trans
portation Of the crop Of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar
nered.
The wheat crop Of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels,
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put I'M
der crop next year, it is safely calcu-
lated that fully 125, 100000 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are, therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
