combined
A strong tincture of lemon juice
placed in drinking water is said to be
reasonably sure cure for typhoid
fever. The remedy is one that, to say
the least, is harmless and at the same
time inexpensive.
It usually takes four horses to pull
out of a mud hole load which two
can mire with ease and dispatch. The
same truth is applicable with even
| greater force to the management Of a
farm or other business enterprise.
It may be evidence of plebeian ap-
petite, but we are of the opinion that
it is pretty hard to beat hot, mealy
baked potato, dressed with a liberal
supply of Jersey cream. It knocks ice
cream and angels food all hollow.
Concentration Of ones effort along a
single line will tend to insure meas
ure Of satisfaction and financial sue
cess that cannot possibly be obtain
ed If one spreads himself out in an at
tempt to follow half dozen lines. In
many fields concentration Is just a
synonym of success.
The wrapping of dry towel about a
coffeepot OF other receptacle whose
contents it is desired to keep warm
will aid materially in the attainment of
that result, the condition noted being

Where the chief purpose of the wood
lot is the production of the best quail
ity of firewood in the shortest possible
time the soft maple excels any other
variety. The seeds should be planted
in June as soon as they ripen in rows
and the following spring transplanted
to the plot where it is intended they
should grow

England in the forestry question which
is likely to result in practical measures
looking to production Of portion Of
the lumber supplies which she annually

southwest winds. has of late come to
the front in an agricultural way that is
opening peoples eyes. During the year

More people suffer from a lack of
fresh air and sunshine than from
a lack Of roper food and nutrition. It
is more likely to be the person who is
afraid of breath Of fresh air who
contracts a cold easily or goes into
consumption. Nature has a very bust
nesslike way of Furnishing offenders
against her laws of health, and she
seems to take particular delight in
visiting her penalties upon those who
scorn her sunshine and fresh air.
AS a general rule. the size and the
excellence 1T the blossoms which a
plant will lear are in an inverse ra-
ito to the number that are allowed
to grow to maturity. This fact was
brought horle to us forcibly the other
day by noting a chrysanthemum which
had thirty-f7e or forty blossoms, none
Of which was larger than good sized
pants butte IS. If the blossoms had
been limits1 to two or three, they

At the late meeting of the National
League of Commission Merchants the
third Tuesday in October was selected
as national apple day. The aim is to
have every man, woman and child in
the country eat an apple on that day.
While the day was not generally OBJ
served last year, apples were distribut-
Ell free to a number Of school children
In several cities with view to inau-
gurating the scheme. If generally
adopted it would mean material in
crease Of business for the apple grow
ers of the c5untry.
