TELLS HOW TO MAKE 1T
Directions To Prepare Simple Home
Mixture.

A well known authority on Ri eu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless pre-
scription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
from any good prescription pharmacy
at small cost, and being of vegetable
extraction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
came almost any case of Rheunatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin.
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many 80 called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give rilief, few really give perma-
nent 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 eli ,its the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.

To grow cucumbers to perfection
plenty of heat, light and moisture are

Seed may be sown as soon as the
danger of frost is past Six or eight
seeds should be planted In each hi,
the hills being about six feet apart

In the early spring seed may be
sown In hills which are protected by
glass covered frames. When the
plants have grown to about four
inches In height and there seems to be
little danger OF them being injured by
insects or other causes they should be
thinned out to about three plants In
hill.
Frequent cultiyatng is needed until

CUTTING TREES.
Economy Dictates That Saplinss
Should Not Be Felled.

1t Is worth while for farmers to pay
a little more attention to their farm
timber lots, Any one who has had to
buy lumber lately knows that its price
Is almost prohbitory.
In fact, building operations on the
farm as well as elsewhere have been
greatly kept back by the high prices
asked for all kinds of lumber.
Take a trip about the country. and
you will see some things that will
make your heart ache II you care any
thing for trees. In the mill yards OF
the east and middle west, where hem
lock and pine grow. you will find little
trees, hardly as large around as a
stovepipe, waiting TO be sawed.
Some Of these will hardly make
by scantling.
II those saplings could have been
permitted to stand a few years longer
they would have been worth many
times more than they are now. But
the spirit seems TO be to cut the trees
down now and let them go for what
they will bring. This Is quite in line
with much we do in other directions at
the present time The dollar we can
get now is the dollar we must have.
Tomorrow may look out for itself.
The farmer has 1t In his power to
put check to this waste. Howf BY
cutting only such trees as are dead or
beginning to die The best farmers do
this themselves, and II they rent their
lands they insist that their tenants
shall do the same And then they may
set out more trees.
If they are compelled to cut any live
trees for building purposes, they may
also set out other smaller trees to take
their place. They may also fight fire,
the worst enemy we have in our for
ests. They may work for better timber
laws And they may educate their
boys to love the woods and try to keep
them growing.

MODERN GRANARY.

A Practical and Economical Building
For Storing Corn, Wheat and Oats.
Some writers tell US that the aver
age farmer annually loses one-twen-
tieth of his entire crops from the lack
of proper buildings In which to store
them and hold them for profitable
prices.
While the writer cannot vouch for
the above statement, he does know
that an Improvement In the usual
storehouse for grain, etc. on the aver
age farm Is not only desirable, but
very necessary If the farmer would
save to himself the profits on his prod
