POOR ECONOMY

Shame on that Denver Convention passing resolutions and blurting out hot phrases about local rights and the liberties of the people in the face of great national waste of timber. Is it possible that this state of affairs is brought about by politicians who have interests" to look after? Senator Hepburn, one of the most ardent ad- vocates of forest destruction has re- gently said: ''They will come and sur round you with one of these beautiful estates this waste of idleness and silence and unprofitableness- this game reserve" What puny statement of untruth from beginning to end. It is in no sense an estate. It is not waste but conservation of natures energy, not idleness but industry in it's highest sense. It is no more unprofit- able than government bond bearing interest. It is no more of game re- serve than the broad expanse of pacific seas.

 And this" I said, taking up an other.
 "Oh, that has just come back from Paris. It has had new lid. Isn't it pretty one?-of course, it has no more intrinsic value than an enameled saucepan; but then, all values are only relative, aren't they dearest?"
 What pretty picture" I said, turning away to print that was lying on small Chippendale table.
 She lifted it and handed 1t to me. Yes she said, isn't it? It is an old one-at least, it will be old by the time sell 1t to Mrs. Barrington- Brown" She dropped little historical label Tn the box as she spoke. You'll see how well we're going to make it nay Marjorie" she said with gaiety.

CORN SMUT.
Prof. A. M. Teneyck Explains Why It
Is Useless to Treat the Seed.

Smut in corn it not reproduced from
year to year by spores which adhere
to the corn kernels, as is the case with
wheat and other small grains. The
corn plant is infected with smut above
the ground by means of spores or
sporidia, which are brought in con-
tact with the young growing parts of
the plant by the aid of the wind, rain
and dew. These sporidia are devel-
oped upon decaying organic matter in
the soil of the field, growing some
what after the manner of the yeast
fungus. The infection with smut may
take place quite early in the season;
forming a mass of spores which ap-
pear as the smut balls on the corn
stalks and leaves. These quickly dry
and the spores, blowing about, pro-
growth and fruitage of the fungus. 1t
appears that bruises on the stalks,
such as occur by detasseling, favor the
infection with smut.
You will thus see that it is useless
to treat the seed. There is practically
no remedy for this disease other than
to pick the smut balls and burn them,
and this will not prevent the occur
ence of smut in any field, since the
spores may be carried by the wind
from surrounding fields. However, it
may be possible to reduce the attacks
Of Smut to some extent by picking and
burning the smut balls, since IL little
smut is present in the soil where the
corn is planted the opportunity for in
fection is lessened. 1t is stated, also,
that manure favors the development
of smut, since it offers an abundance
of favorable material upon which the
smut may grow and develop the spor-
Ida which cause the first infection
of the corn plants.

Money Invested in Incubator Was Not

II hope to succeed with this farm. l
hope our experiences won't too closely

ito Rogers. Rash Rogers lived in the
suburbs. On the suburban train one
morning he said to me with sour
laugh:
'I've got something nobody else has
got, Mr.. Bigelow.'
Have you, Rash?' said l. What
is it?'
"'Well,' said Rogers, L bought a
$50 incubator last month, put SIS
worth of eggs in it, and Matched out

HE frowned, then sighed.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
Is Abandoned.

It is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as 1t Is
for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except thatYthe coffee user can
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of loss of the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is well
boiled and served with cream, 1t Is
really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the favor of fine, mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
been discontinued. and in its place is
taken a liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-
ment.
1t is easy to make this test and
prove these statements by changing
from coffee to Postum. Read "The
Road to Wellville." in pkgs. There's
q Reason"

SAID TO BE SIMPLE
EASILY MIXED RECIPE FOR KID.
NEYs AND BLADDER.
Tells Readers How to Prepare This
Home-Made Mixture to Cure the
Kidneys and Bladder and
Rheumatism.

Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an emf
nent authority, who writes in a New
York daily paper, as the finest pre-
scription ever written to relieve Back
ache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder
and all forms of Urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH
er organs.
Mix some and give it a trial. 1t
certainly comes highly recommended.
1t is the prescription of an eminent
authority, whose entire reputation, it
is said, was established by it.

THE SPARROW PEST.
The Farm journal Tells of Peter Tum-
bIe-Down's Way of Dealing With It.

There are various ways of dealing
with the sparrow pest, some good,
some bad, but Peters way is at least
very unique and quite effective. Last
fall he dilly-dallied with corn husking
until caught by big snow storm. This
was soon followed by a thaw and then
a freeze up. SO that half of the crop
was left out all winter for crow bait.
The crows took advantage of the sit
uation and spent the winter in the or
chards and woods nearby, taking
breakfast, dinner and supper at
Peters expense and inviting all their
relations to the feast Thus coming
to feel at home in the neighborhood,
in the spring many of them set up
housekeeping and began to raise fam
flies. So after the new spring corn
had sprouted and showed above the
surface, each mother and father crow
got busy and became nuisance in the
neighborhood. Peter had to replant
twice and some of the neighbors four
times. That's not all: the little baby
crows seemed to need meat diet, and
to supply this want. all the nests of
other birds, including sparrows, were
rified by the parent crows; and thus
the sparrow pest was conquered for
once. OF course the plan was hard
on the song birds, for the crows did
not discriminate in favor of meat.
Peter will not take out a patent on
this plan. and all his neighbors hope
he will not try 1t again.

examination of the root will distin-
guish it from wild parsnip and wild
carrot, both of wh&h it somewhat
resembles in it's habit of growth.
1t is poisonous weed, particularly
dangerous to children in the spring
OF the year, who may chance upon the
roots, and also dangerous to live
stock, says Farm Life. Hence it
should not be tolerated a minute on
any farm. 1t is not worth while to cut
this weed down. 1t should be dug up
by the roots, and the roots cared for
in such way that there is no danger
of either children or live stock getting
hold of them. A few hours work will
clean up any farm that is infested
with this weed, and it should be done
without delay.

Russell Maynard sat in his office
chair, his elbows on his desk, his
curly head supported by both hands
and his eyes fixed on dainty per-
fumed note spread out before him.
He was reading it over and over
scarcely taking in the meaning of the
words, which he already knew by
heart. 1t had been brought to him
with the early morning mail, and was
in answer to one which he had slipped
into Miriam Grants hand the night
before, when he helped her into her
carriage after Mrs. Lees party, and
it was now nearly noon; yet that let
ter was the only one he had opened.
"You can never know, dear friend. what
pain 1t gives me to write this" the words
seemed to be traced in delicate lines of
fire which were burning themselves into
his brain, "for until read your note ask
ing me to be your wife, l did not reais

lam! why couldn't you have loved
me?" The strong man laid his fore
head on the letter and his frame shook
convulsively. A little hand was laid

timidly on his arm, and he started
neryously, for he had thought he was
alone.
"Ive comed," said a soft voice in
his ears.
Russell raised his head; his face
was so white and drawn that the rag
ged little mite of humanity standing
before him stared at him for a mo-
ment, half afraid.
WELL" said Russell, wearily, what
do you want?"
At the sound of his voice the boy
lost his momentary fear, and his dirty
face became beautiful with the great
happiness which shone from the big
brown eyes.
"Tve coined ter live with yer. Don't
yer member bout my bein' yer boy?"
"To live with me! My boy! What in
thunder do wou mean?"
Russell spoke petulantly. He loved
children, and usually had kind word
for the most unpromising specimen of
childhood; but to-day he was not In a
mood to make himself agreeable, or to
exercise patience.
Yer said" the little waif cleared
his throat and tried to force back the
tears which were fast filling his eyes;
yer said as how could live with yer
an be yer boy when gran'ther didn't
want me no more" BY this time the
little body trembled so violently that
the child dropped down on Russell's
footstool.
"Ter-day they put gran'ther in a
hole In the ground. They telled me as
how he can't never git out, an must
go to the poorhouse; but yer said
yer telled me could be yer boy, SO /
coined right here"
Russell did not answer. He was
staring in perplexity at his strange
guest, and trying to recall the CONVEX
sation to which he alluded.
Il guess yer don't member" said
the little fellow, sadly. But yer said
it. an then yer buyed apples o. gram

"Uh-huh!"
"and he is dead?"
"The doctor said as how he was
