A Cure for Toadstool Poisoning.

No sooner do mushrooms make their
appearance than cases of poisoning are
reported from all parts of the country.
due to the inability to distinguish the
edible variety from the deadly fungus.
A French contemporary points out a
simple antidote which is worth CON
sideration. 1t consists in swallowing
every ten minutes a tablespoonful Of
animal charcoal, crushed as finely as
possible, in pure water This remedy is
also said to be efficacious in cases of
mussel poisoning and ptomaine poison
ing from eating bad meat and fish-Lon-

Produce Prices Going Higher.
From the figures Of a report by the
bureau Of labor there has been ex-
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prices of nearly everything reached
higher level last year than at any time
during the last eighteen years, and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 25S commod-
tiles Of the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
increase in price attained by any Of
the groups. And the encouraging feat
ure of the report is that the panic of
last year did not affect prices Of farm
stuff very much. In fact, taking every
thing sold, the farmer got more money
in 1907 than the average of ten years
before
Som farmers may not know this. but
it is true, because Mr.. Powderly's bu-
reau says So Aside from the musty
figures Of a departmental report, the
fact is evident that the farmers Of this
country are more prosperous than they
have ever been. 1t is shown in better
houses, bigger barns, fatter bank &C
counts, fewer mortgages, better ma
chinery, and, more important than any
thing else, higher standard of living
for the family.
There is one small fly in the oint-
ment, however, and that is the fact
that while farm produce has been rails
ing In price, clothing implements, lum-
Der and building materials, house fur
nishing goods and some other things
farmers must buy have gone up, too.
But as these commodities have not
kept pace with the advance in the
price Of things the farmers have to sell
they may on the whole feel that they
are gaining ground and that agricul-
ture Is not to be despised.

The Rural Home.

Inc nome.
So important has agriculture become
to the nations prosperity that Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently appointed a
commission to suggest means to make
the rural home more attractive and as
eist in keeping young men on the farm.
Many Of the conveniences that add
comfort to a city home could De In
stalled In the country residence
The farmer possesses an advantage
over the majority of residents in cities
in that he owns his own home and Is
nominally the dictator Of his surround
tngs. In cities jewellers are crowded
into apartment buildings for the want
Of space for private residences and to
secure economy in living expenses. The
owners Of apartment houses have in
stalled steam heat, porcelain bath fix
lures, gas stoves, electric lights and
maintain the apartments at great eX-
pense on account Of the costly fixtures
and the frequency Of repairs. The ten
ant forms no alta chmert to his home
and is ready to change his residence
when other apartments are discovered
that more fully suit his fancy. l..
In the country the rural home is
permanent and all its improvements
are contaminated with a view to the
future as well as the present genera
ton. In no other profession does the
home dweller enjoy the work Of his
hands as in agriculture. II man is
what he makes himself, so the rural
home reflects the owners idea Of beau
ty and convenience. With the land pro-
ducing increased crops and agricultur-
al products selling at record prices the
farmer can afford to adorn his home
and improve it with many modern and
sanitary appointments.
The water supply may come from a
shallow, inconveniently located well
and the supply may be contaminated
by surface seepage containing the mi
crobes Of typhoid fever and other dis
eases. The water supply is the great
source Of health, cleanliness and con-
venience on the farm. Tubular wells
are permanent and Of cheap construc-
ton and their depth furnishes living
water free from germ diseases. With
a windmill and tank the water can be
piped into the house at small expense
and a supply furnished at all times by
turning the faucet. A hot-water heat
er can be attached to the stove and
hot water provided without additional
expense for fuel
With ample grounds a beautiful
lawn could easily be arranged with
ornamental trees, flowers and shrub
berry that would outrival the homes Of
city jewellers. With the installation Of
modern conveniences at small expense
rural homes can be made ideal for
comfort and thus stimulate content
ment among the younger generation to
follow the greatest Of all professions.
