Make This Up

By Shaking ingredients
Well in a Bottle

What will appear very interesting to
many people here Is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
q simple prescription, as formulated
by a noted authority, who claims that
he has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case OF backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement In the follow
INK simple prescription, II taken before
the stage OF Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll In bottle and
take In teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scriptlon, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at small cost from any good prescrlp-
tion pharmacy, or the mixture would
be put up II asked to do so. He furth.
er stated that while this prescription
is often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why 1t would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache, as it has
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor.
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul ac-
Ids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those OF our
readers who suffer can make no mis-
take In giving 1t a trial

The Time, Tho Place and tho Girl
Breaks Record at Chicago.

The Askin.Singer company will pre-

next Friday q musical comedy entitled

Never In the history Of the theatrical
world has q performance had such
phenomenal success, having broken all

for long runs; 4e5 continuous perform.
ances At Chicago. several months In
Boston and q marvellous success in
New York at wallack's theatre, which
opened at the beginning Of this sea-
son.
During the run ct the La Sale
theatre at Chicago for eight months
II received the unequivocal approval
Of the tbeatre.goers and the press. 1t
also exceeded 10 attendance any must.
cal show that ever appeared at the
La Sale. At every performance dur.
ing the long engagement the produc.
ton played to capacity and It was i'm
possible TO secure seats unless obtain.
ed four weeks In advance. The rea.
sons for this unusual success are as
crIbed by the management to the fact
that the authors have struck the new
idea In musical plays and have develop.
ed IL with unusual skill. 1t Is . com.
edy with unique situations, construct.
ed along lines and according to stand.

The New Farmer.

The Presidents address last month
at the Michigan State Agricultural Col
lege Is SO clear an expression Of the
conditions Of modern farm life that
a future historian may turn to 1t to
read our times. All national leaders
have told us that the farmer Is the
backbone of the nation. Washington
and Jefferson were farmers, and good
ones. The Illinois that bred Lincoln
was one vast farm-Chicago was then
only q small town. The President Of
to-day, not bred in farm life, although
he has been practical ranchman, Is
the first to express the unity between
farm labor and all other kinds. The
farmer to him is an expert mechanic
and business man, whose problems are
precisely those of the workman in the
town, who depends for success on in
dustrial and social cooperation. He
must be an educated, aggressive par
ticipant in the work of life, competing
with the farmer of Europe, inviting
to his workshop Of many acres the
most skilful young men, learning from
technical students and the practical ex-
perience of his neighbors the best that
Is known about his business. City
workers, meeting In the friction OF
crowded life, have always learned their
craft from one another. The farm
er has until recently been In social
and business isolation. Now he Is q
citizen Of the world, often closer In
point of time, to the nearest city than
his grandfather was to the farmers of
the adjacent town. The difference be-
tween the townsman and the country
man in educational and intellectual
opportunities and In industrial respon-
sibility is rapidly diminishing. That
means the diminishing Of the old real
or fancied disadvantage Of farm life
which drove ambition and initiative to
the city for opportunity to show them
selves The advantage remains and
increases, for no matter how near to-
gether modern instruments Of unity,
the trolley and telephone, bring city
and country, broad acres still remain
broad, and produce the conditions of
free and independent life.-Youth' s
Companion.

Testing Dairy Cows.

The Illinois station publishes cir.
cular which emphasizes the import
ance Of studying the production Of in
dlvldual cows and contains records for
one year Of eighteen dairy herds in
Illinois, including 221 cows.
The average year production was
5,619.99 pounds of milk and 226.03
pounds of butterfat.
The best herd averaged 350.17
pounds of butterfat and the poorest
142.05 pounds.
The best ten cows averaged 3SS.75
pounds Of butterfat and the poorest
ten 109.42 pounds.
1t Is believed that at least one-third
of the cows In the ordinary herds are
practically improbable.
, A marked improvement was OBJ
served in herds where grading had
been practiced.
1t was found possible to remove FIVE
cows from q herd Of ten and thereby
increase the profit $7.62 per head.

minute. Nevertheless Missouri
stocl1man tackled the problem and sue
ceeded In planning an apparatus by
which the pigs are given a good wash
ing before they are slaughtered. 1t
should also prove equally as useful at
other times. The construction and OPP
Grafton of the dipping tank, as 1t Is
called, will be plainly evident by
glance at the accompanying illustra-
tion. Resting on the ground Is the wa
ter tank, which Is connected to an in
clined inlet and outlet. On the in
cline Of the outlet are tiny stairs to
assist the pig In ascending. In prep
aratlon for his annual" the pig Is
forced down the incline into the water,
and If his common sense does not d.
rect him on the Incline, he Is prodded
from behind with bar. In fact, In
time this device may become very
fashionable with pigs, and 1t would
not be surprising to hear Of them TAX
ing their daily dip" hereafter.

NEW WEED CUTTER IL ls q comDineu
weed cutter and gatherer, as shown In
the accompanying illustration. The
cutter Is adjustable, and is operated by
lever which terminates close to the
handle Of the implement. The gatherer
Is placed in the rear Of the cutter. In
front Of the cutter are a pair Of small,
light wheels. 1t will be seen that after
bringing the implement close to the
weed a pull on the lever is all that is
required to operate the cutter. AS the
implement Is pushed on to the next
spot, the weed is gathered up by the
rake and carried on.

To Destroy Insects.

The graylsh black squash bug Is

and the old bugs early in the spring
Is laborlous but sure, II thoroughly
done. The bugs will crawl upon
piece of board laid among the vines,
and may be gathered and caught. The
use Of poisons will do no good in the
case Of the bugs, as they do not eat
the leaves, but pass their beaks
through the outside of the leaf to
suck the juices, and will not consume
any of the poison. In a series Of ex-
periments In the method of prevent
Ing the attacks of the squash vine bor-
er the preventatives employed were
paris green at the rate Of half tea
spoonful to two gallons Of water, corn
cobs dipped in coal tar, and the kero-
sene emulsion; the application Of the
paris green and the kerosene was re-
peated after every hard rain until
September; the cobs were dipped In
coal tar again once In three weeks.
All three Of the applications seemed to
be beneficial, with perhaps little
something In favor of the corncobs
as being cheapest and most convenient.
The odor Of the tnr has no effect on
the Insects, but sometimes repels the
moth, causing her to lay her eggs else
where.
