The answer is simple: CaScaretS are pure, clean, sweet,

are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy to
carry Tin vest-pocket or PURSE, easy to take and easy of action,

They not only regulate the movements and stimulate the muscular walls of

out and destroying all disease germs that breed IN the accumulated filth unless
promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they are a great preventive Of

drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will live up to it in
SPIRIT and LETTER,-an easy task, as we have always been actuated
by the same principles and M changes aer required in our formula or pack
We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the first

This should be a great argument for any one, to try Cascarets AT
ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC
CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it; others have HAB-
ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect, but nearly
EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION, which, if not
promptly taken careo of is liable to result in its degeneration into the worse
forms and cause great suffering and perhaps death. =

VALUE OF THE HAY CROP.

Hay stands third in value and i'm
p~ortance in the crops grown In this
country. Any reduction In the bulk of
the crop or any deterioration in it's
quality will be felt in thousands OF
feed yards during the coming year.
Prices are bound to run high n the
crop Is short. Every man who a an
acre of grass land should take care
that 1t is secured In the best possible
condition and have 1t put under wa
Ter proof shelter, so that none Is
wasted. Many are careless and very
wasteful when putting up hay. Grass
Is short this year. If the meadows are
clean, set the sickle bar ow and get
as much of the stem as possible. Don't
get caught with four or five acres down
and a shower coming VI Work close

when overtime will count, 1t is in the

nicely, and don't leave stacks open over

That possible showers will not inJure

CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS.

In spite of all our care and pains
some Of the milk is apt to become
more or less tainted. AT this season Of
the year when the doors and windows
Of the barn are open, and ventilation is
good, there is not so much danger OF
contamination from the stalls or floors.
The worst troubles now are caused by
dirty utensils. Where milk is left IN
cans for n length of time the cans
become infected. These cans are often
only rinsed in lukewarm water, and the
germs in the seams and crevices are not
disturbed. No wonder milk sours or
becomes badly tainted. These cans and
all other tin utensils, should be scrub
bed with warm water, in which wash
ing soda has been dissolved. Then
rinse them thoroughly with boiling
water. If they can be turned over a
steam pipe for a few minutes, so much
the better. All dippers, pals and
strainers should be treated the same
way, and a good summing will help mat
tiers.

A s SEASON.


Z
On all sides one hears the statement
that this is d muslin season, but this
term is elastic enough to embrace al
most anything from cambria to the ex-
Quisite Alsatian gauzes.
Pale yellow buttercups, with delicate
green leaves, decorate a very pretty
muslin in one Of the shops, n Irish
guipure and valenciennes lace form the
principal decoration. The vest and
bands of the sleeves are made of the
two kinds of lace, with added touches
of broderie Anglaise. The skirt is
trimmed with panels Of valenciennes
vandyked around the bottom and
stitched under headings Of broderie
Anglaise with tiny ruchings of valen-
ciennes running along either edge.
For summer wear nothing is prettier
han the checked muslins. and one Of
the most charming patterns seen Is a
pale mauve and white check arranged
with a full skirt, trimmed around the
hem with three muslin frills edged with
lace and set on with a heading of finest
valenciennes insertion. The upper part
of the skirt is also very prettily trim
med with valenciennes dentelle, put on
in diamond shapes and also running in
long lines downward from the waisgt.

DON'T LOAF TOO HEAVY.

Never has there been known such an
appetite for more Ian as has taken
hold of western farmers during the last
ave years AS a general proposition,
money invested in lands, or at a rea-
sorable amount of debt incurred in
buying lands is a good thing, but many
go farther than Is prudent, and ulti-
nately find themselves overloaded. The
mother of the writer was a shrewd
business mi Her advice to her
boys was to buy all the land possible,
tut Of the surplus earnings, but go
very slow in mortgaging one piece Of
and to buy another. That Is sound ad-
vice. Sometimes it will pay to borrow
money to pay for repairs, and
better equipments, or put UP
barns and sheds which Will save
much more than interest on the
borrowed money. II Is good bust
hess when one can make borrowed cap
ital make money for him. But borrow
ng money to increase the size of ones
Iarm is hazardous, and once the habit
3f borrowing money is formed one is
apt to become careless In the ways in
which IT Is invested.

WASHING AND sALTINo BUTTER.

The consumer of country made butter
does not know the aus of the poor
texture Of his butter, but he does know
that something is not just right, and he
is apt to make a very vigorous kick.
1t Is a nice art to know just when the
working Of butter should cease. When
butter Is delivered to the consumer
within a few days after 1t is made. not
much working Is really necessary; anG
a better flavor may be had If the but
ter is taken out of the buttermilk,
drained a little but not washed at all.
When butter is to be packed 1T should
be washed thoroughly to get out as
much of the Gaseous matter as possible.
The matter Of sailing is also a mat
ter Of individual taste, when private
customers are served. 1t is always well
to inquire Of mes customers whether
your butter is sailed to suit them
When butter is to be put up in storage
one ounce per each pound Of butter, will
insure better color, grain n flavor.
besides rather strongly sailed butter

FEEDING OR FLOWING UNDER

A Kossouth county dairyman writes:
II have a piece Of clover which was
sown for the purpose of enriching the
land, my intention was to turn 1t un-
der. With present prices Of Feed. and
short crop prospect, do you not think
II would pay to cut the clover for hay
and feed it?"
BY all means cut the crop and put
1t UP for winter feed for your cows. The
stubble and roots of the clover contain
more than half of the manurial value of
the crop; and if the is handled
right and put back upon the land, you
really have lost less than 10 per cent of
the manurial value of the crop through
feeding. This is a cas- where you can
eat your cake and have it too.

IRONING A WAIST.

To iron a shlrtwaist: First iron the
body part of the waist. Then take a
common bed slat and cover with two or
three thicknesses of flannel; lastly cov-

lay the bed slat on the back Of two
chairs and slip your shirtwaist sleeve
on and iron. This prevents the body
part of the waist coming in contact
with anything to muss or wrinkle it.

When meadows yield only a small

turn them up and cultivate them for
two or three years. Manuring some
times does not help matters. The soil
needs turning up, so that the sunlight
can sweeten it.

1t is too late now TO think ABOUT the

COWS n a bunch of Plymouth Rocks,
can defy the meat combine or any
other combine. The cow and the hen
have paid for more Injuries for the
farm homes than the corn crops, and
at the same time have taken care of
the grocery bills.
There is not much need of advice
this season on thinning fruit. The
spring freezes have attended to that
In most localities, yet where trees es-
capped these late frosts they are load

crop as possible, but don't sacrifice the
grade of your whole crop by leaving
too much fruit on h trees 10 mature.
With the prospect Of short small

hooves every corn grower to make his
acres count this season. We are UP

fall will depend largely on how well we
do the work In the cornflelds during the
next Jour weeks.
Don't spoil a mellow field by starting

Don't compromise on the stallion.
