Arthur Evans, the oxford ~archaeolo'
giSt, who has made S many interesting
discoveries in the so-called palace OF
Minos, in Crete, has found in a sub
terranean sanctuary certain very an
cient, small earthenware statues, repre-
senting the goddess and two of her
servants. The dress of the figures is
said to be highly modern. The goddess,
we grieve to say, wears a corset, just
such a corset as contemporary man
Shyiy wonders at in the windows Of a
department store. The skirt of the
robe of the goddess is Gin Louis XIV.

Next to a draft, a damp house or
roosting place is the most prolific
cause Of colds in fowls. Look after
the dryness and ventilation of your
roosting quarters also.
A plain cold can be told by the
fowls having a watery discharge at
the nostrils and eyes and the birds
throwing their heads and sneezing. A
plain cold is easily told from the roup
by absence of a cheesy substance in
the throat and nostrils of the birds.
This cheesy mass always accompanies
roup. The head will frequently swell
with a cold, but the swelling is more
marked in roup. A common remedy
for colds is to apply kerosene to the
heads of the worst afflicted birds. A
slight film Of kerosene oil on the drink
ing water will often cure mild colds in
a few days.
Bronchitis is the cold extended to
the bronchial tubes and the fowls make
a rafting noise when breathing. This
disease continues for weeks in some
cases. Treat like a severe cold with
kerosene oil, pouring the oil well down
the nostrils n throat.-Rural World.

Smoke in Handlin Bees.

How differently men use or misus,
smoke when handling bees. Some men
even ask me If l ever smoke in the
entrance" AS a rule, uch men will
jar the hives in taking off the cover,
they pry or pull off the super with q
snap, says m exchange. About this
time the bees, angry bees, begin pour
ing out at he entrance and from the
top of the hive and then the bee
keeper begins using the smoker; bus
the bees are mad now, and no amouDt
of smoke will pacify them.
The most important place to use
smoke is at the entrance, and 1t should
be used there as the first step in open
ing the hive. Subdue the bees first,
then all the Earring will only make
their subsection the more complete. SO
many times has some man cautioned
lie about attempting to handle some
colony, saying that those bees were
perfect tigers and that | would be
stung to death. l always say: Give
me the smoker" 1 give them a good,
thorough smoking at the entrance be-
fore attempting to open the hive. I
then open the hive carefully, using a
little smoke if there is any sign of
obstreperousness.
AS Il rule l pass the ordeal without
a sting. while the Wner looks on with
amaZement. The whole secret lies in
subduing the bees before opening the
hives. Smoke the bees first, and then
you can usually handle them in peace
and comfort.

A balky horse a be cured, when I'M
der the saddle, by a very simple meth
Cd. Turn him around in his tracks
a few times and then suddenly straight
en- his head and he will willingly, and
even gladly, go forward. This was
the method of the celebrated John S.
Rarey and has never been known to
fail.
The "jibbler' differs from the balk-
er inasmuch as his so-called vice is
caused by congestion of the brain. The
horse thus affected is liable to bolt or
run away after one of the attacks and
is Il dangerous animal.
Rearing, although commonly termed
a vice, is often caused by too severe a
curb. Sometimes the rearing horse
loses his balance and falls backward.
1t is needless to say that the rider Is
lucky if he or she escapes without Sc
rious, if not fatal, injury. When the
horse rears, loosen the reins and speak
to him in a soothing tone; but if he
persists, give him a sharp blow be-
tween the ears with the butt of the
whip. This will bring him down an all
tours with amazing quickness.
Kicking is certainly a vice. Some
times, however, it is caused by fear, in
which case much can be accomplished
by gentle management. Exactly the
opposite treatment of the rearing ami
NAL should be applied to the kicker.
Hold his head up with might and main,
for the horse cannot throw out both
legs at once when his head is elevat-
ed. Kicking straps are what the name
implies. a strap fastened to h shafts
over the horses crup prevents kicking,
but this is only serviceable when driven
in single harness. Shying is a danger
Gus fault. 1t cannot properly be term
ed a vice; it is generally the result
of defective vision. Gentle treatment,
soothing words and patient persistence
in accustOming the animal to the
dreaded object will often effect a cure.
To lash a horse because he SHES or
is frightened only ~aggravates the evil.
He will associate the punishment with
the frightful object and will fear it
more and more each time he encoun-
ters it.-Country Life in America.

Varieties OF Potatoes.

. In choosing varieties of potatoes for
spring planting, it is advisable to select
those that have been more re-
Gently produced from seed; provid-
ed, Of course that their quality and
productiveness have been tested and are
generally known. The variety that is
newly produced from seed is gener-
ally more vigorous than it is likely to
be after a few years contest with po-
tato beetles and the blight and rots,
all of which help to decrease potato
vigor and productiveness. But it is
not advisable to plant potatoes, how
eve good, which are very unlike stand
ard sorts, and whose qualities are not
generally known. There is so much
difference in potatoes hat the mere
fact that a potato is a potato is not
enough with most consumers to secure
a market for it until after they have
given it a trial

Butter in the South.

A skilled Northern dairyman who
went to Georgia some years ago once
wrote that he found that he could
make as good butter there as he made
in Vermont, could make it at a lower
cost and could get a better price for it.
When once the livestock industry is
well established in the South in con-
nection with cotton growing, we will
soon hear less of it's taking four or
five acres to make a bale of cotton,
for the men who rotate their crops
and feed stock and make will
soon put a bale as the minimum per
acre. More pea hay, more corn and
more cattle will do more for the cot
ton farmer than anything else, when
they cease to look on everything but
cotton merely as supplies to enable
them to plant more cotton, for they
will find that the supplies will soon
be as profitable a part Of their farm.

SCIATIC TORTURE
A Locomotive Engineer Tells How
He Was Cured by Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills.


Pain that seems almost unbearable
is a characteristic Of sciatic rheuma-
tism. In some cases the pain IL
knife-like. sharp or shooting; In 9TH
ers it is dull and aching. Sciatica
is stubborn in resisting treatment and
the patient frequently suffers for
years. This was the case with Mr..
engineer on the Cincinnati, New Or
leans & Texas Pacific Railway. whose
home is at Longview. Texas.
While running an engine some
years ago." he says, II fell of and
hurt my knee and spine and l have
always considered this to be the cause
of my illness. The sciatica took hold
of me from my heel to the back Of
my head. The pain was the worst
l ever suffered in my life and my leg
and back were twisted out Of shape.
I was under a physicians care for
several months and for six months
could not get out of bed. ! also went
to Hot Springs but came back in a
worse condition than when l went.
ut was when i was down in bed
that l heard of the Ease Of a Mr..
AlllSOu, a much OlQer man Lnan n.y.
self, who mad been cured Of ~sciatica
by Or. Williams Pink Pills. I began
taking the pills and Don was able to
get out Of bed. When I had taken
six boxes l vas able to work about
the house and yard. kept right
on with the pills until I was cured
and l have never had n return of
the trouble. I have been running an
engine eyer since"

The Best Way Up.

The following paragraphs from an
exchange are well worth the earnest
attention of those to whom the advice
applies: Young men are always being
advised to rise in the world" Which
may or may not be good advice. 1t de-
ponds upon:
How the young man rises.
What he rises upon.
What he rises to.
What he takes up with him.
If your idea is to rise in the world
by making money and having people
look up to you on that account, it is
easy enough.
If you want to go up like a man,
however, put some foundation besides
dollars under you. What will you rise
to? To something worth while. Ideals
are worth while. And one way to de-
fine ideals is to say they are what
your mother wants you to be. ,,nen

is not at all uncommon to seed to timo-

three or four consecutive years till
every vestige Of clover has disappeared
and nearly all the value of the clover
plant as a renovator of the soil is lost,
says a writer in Ohio Farmer. l be-
lieve sowing timothy with the clover
is all right. 1 always practice it.
Then 1 am quite sure of a catch, and
1 get more and better hay. There are
also other advantages which space for

lieve, though, that the meadow should
be moved but once and never more
than twice before blowing.

Flax fo- Stock Feed

The prevailing price Of concentrated
foodstuffs is ~arousing the interest of
farmers in the question of growing
more lesh-forming foods. Many stock
men who have used oil meal extensive
~ in the past are considering b propo-
sition of growing their own flax,
so that it can be fed without first hay
ing the oil extracted. This is a prac-
tice that l cannot recommend too high
ly. 1 have found from practical ex-
p%erience hat an acre or two of fax
will produce one of the most profitable
crops that can be grown. On ordinary
soil there will be a yield of about
twenty bushels per acre. This may
be used in feeding calves, young stock
and any other class of animals which
may for any reason be out of condi-
ton. Flax is not only a food, but is
one of the very best tonics that are
available.-W. j. Kennedy in Iowa

Why should this be the case ?

Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
in the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
backaches, nervous exhaustion, in
fiammation, liberation, displace-
ments, and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms r. indica-
tions of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not needed the
penalty has to be paid by a dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera
tion-but remember that Lydia E.
