Physiological Mystery.

According to some curious investi-
cations conducted by English scien-
lists, eldest sons tend to be criminals
and youngest sons paupers. A great
many thousand school children and
many family histories have been ex-
amined to yield these results. First
born children were found to be, as a
rule, taller and heavier, with greater
ability and endurance than the others.
This is in accordance with the popular
feeling in many countries that the
Oldest child is superior to the Others
and deserving of special privileges
It is a well established fact that
among men of genius an undue pro
portion are eldest sons.-Detroit Free

ing simple prescription should be
used:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hal1

made as follows:
Take two pieces of board (such as
have come off some old building), say
about seven feet long, breadth be-
tween eight and IL inches. Leave one
of these boards intact. Cut the other
into three equal lengths, and nail into
the top of the uncut board, as shown

fence is high enough, short board,
the one facing the fence, can be left

Practicable.

2 OF course poultry keeping is prac-
ticable to the farmer. Why not? With
the best range and variety of feed he
is in the ideal position to make it pay
out. Where most farmers lose out, is
they pay no attention to system or
method. They know nothing about ex-
penses or what their yearly receipts
are from poultry. Put it on a business
basis. If you can't do it yourself, turn
1t over to some other member of the
family.

PRUNING the Peach.

The Massachusetts Experiment sta.
ton recommends the following as the
best method of pruning the peach
tree: Prune peach trees moderately,
removing not more than one-third to
one-half the previous years annual
growth, when the wood has been in
jured by freezing. When only the
fruit buds are killed the wood being
uninjured and the trees in good condi-
ton. prune severely, cutting back the
annual growth to two or three buds.
1t may be expedient to cut some
branches back even into two or three
year-old wood.

Why They Fail.

Many fall down on sheep raising be-
cause they do not give enough atten-
ton to the foundation stock. The
ewes must be strong enough and Wig.
orous. These are usually good milk
ers and they bring strong lambs.
Sheep are more financial than cattle
or hogs. and they need closer atten-
ton.

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
fammation, liberation, displace-
ments, and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are indica-
tons of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not needed the
penalty has to be paid by 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
