Two very fine mules, valued at s4o0. owned by O. R. Martin, were burned. They were in the enclosure around the oil stor- age, and were used in delivering oil. Two immense tanks of oil were in the enclosure and the fire was so great when discovered that no one dared go near enough to liberate the mules. . The night was very still and no other buildings caught. though many were near enough to have made the danger very great If the wind had been blow ing.

NOW IS BEST
TIME TO TAKE
Directions to Prepare Sim
pie Home Mixture.

A well-known authority on
Rheumatism gives the readers of q
large New York daily paper the
following valuable, yet simple and
harmless prescription, which any
one can easily prepare ut home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the Ingredients
can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at small
cost, and, being of vegetable ex-
traction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for few days, is said
10 overcome almost any case OF
Rheumatism. The pain and
swelling, if any, diminishes with
each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injur-
ing the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism reme-
dies, patent medicines, etc some
of which do give relief, few really
give permanent results, and the
above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of
this neighborhood elicits the in-
formation that these drugs are
harmless and can be bought sepa-
rately, or the druggists here will
mix the prescription for our read

About the Place.

After the pigs get used to soul
milk they will not eat sweet milk
as freely as they will that which
is acid. But this does not mean
that you are to keep the milk in a
nasty, foul barrel. Keep the milk
clean, whatever else you do.
1t is great knack to "get a
good scald" at butchering time.
II too hot, you will set the hair +;
If too cold, you will not get all the
hair off and have to "shave" your
pork, bad thing at best. The
best temperature Is 140 degrees.
I'll tell you why your grindstone
doesn't cut. 1t is because you
have left il out in the sunshine
uncovered 80 much. Put a good
cover over IL and it will not get so
hard. Then 1t will cut faster

Don't Hurry Vinegar

Some one asks about vinegar.
In cool cellar cider that has had
mother" or cider vinegar, added
to it reaches marketable condi-
tion whole year sooner than when
"mother" has not been added.
But vinegar should never be added
to cider that has not completed
alcoholic fermen tation, because
the power of the acid doesn' t help
the work at all. Some farmers
make a practise of adding fresh
apple juice to other vinegar stock
wishing to make vinegar quickly
1t won't make. The sugar of the
juice has first to undergo alcoholic
ferment before the acetic fermen-
tation can begin. Otherwise the
apple-juice only checks and pre-
vents the working.

Winter Flowing,

There is a diversity of opinion
as to the advisability of plowine
in the winter time. 1t is general
ly conceded, however, that sod
lands should be plowed in the
winter season. The freezing and
thawlng of the soil puts it in much
better condition than it can be put
by plow and harrow after spring
has opened.
Winter plowing also destroys
many insects that would damage
crops if they were allowed to live.
There will be much more moist
ure laid up in the soil and saved
for the use of the growing crop
the next year if the plowing is
done during the winter season
than there would be if it were left
until spring. The capillary con-
nection with the subsoil will have
time t, be renewed if the blowing
is done early. This Is an impor-
tant item that is not often consid-
cred.

eral years of getting as nearly all
of my sod land as l can turned be-
fore it quits freezing.-A.J. LEGe.

1t is not abusing the hens to
make them jump up after the
cabbage you give them. They

they are apU to hump up and get

BY wiping your eggs and sort

you can sell your stock for cent

it and make money at it too.
Folks will begin to hurry you
now to get butter for the winter
season. For that reason, try hard
not to have the cows fall off in
yield. Keep them up, even IL you
are compelled to feed some mill
stuff. Not exactly in luck, either.
There is something more than
luck about looking ahead and
planning for the days when the
pastures will fall.
Buy your seed-corn on the ear.
The seed breeder who objects to
selling in this way is a man to be
let alone.
1t is a mistake to assume that
the shredding alone of dry, coarse
and hard corn stalks will make
them palatable for COWS or profit
able for the dairyman. Shredded
when at the proper stage of cur
ing, shredded corn gives excellent
results.
1t isn't too early to look about
Ior an nOneSG scotsman. By the
looks of the greater part of the
farms of this country, somebody
must be selling lot of weed seed
at a good big price. We do not
want any of that. Pure seed or
none.
How do your cows look? Get
them up in good flesh before they
begin to give milk. That does not
mean that you shall have them
overfat, for there is danger in
that; but it does mean that every
cow should begin her seasons

Getting the Most Out OF
the Farm.

There are different views Of bow
to do things. One man looks at it
one way, another sees it in auoth-
er light. 1t is that way with
farming. There are men who
seem to think that if they can
skin the farm down to the very
quick every year, they are making
the most out of farming.
These men think more of the
money they get than anything else
in the world, Money is their SUI
preme object in life. For they
work themselves, and their horses,
and their hands from daylight till
dark. For that they will serimp
themselves and their families till
they have little of the real man
hood left in them for il is fact
that such narrow living stunts all
of the better elements of ones
nature. They die at last, leaving
: good bank account, but that is
