When they are about four inches high

when this occurs, set them out, by

close to the ground, but be careful
In so doing not to mash the stalks

DAIRY SCIENCE.

there is beginning to be formulated

Practically the most important dis.

idea reached various parts of the
world about the same time, and ex-

lines to accomplish this purpose, The
practical machines were first made
In Germany and Sweden, so that It
may be said that Germany and Sweden
were the birthplaces of the discoy-

This being such radical departure

OPEN DEALING m PAINT.

Buying paint used to bs like the
proverbial buying OF pig In a
poke" Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, ETC., predominated were
marked and sold az Pure White
Lead" the deception not being ap-
,arent until the paint and the paint
ng were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but We have learned
to expose 1t easily.
National Lead Company. the larg-
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe
They first adopted trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter"
and put this trade mark, as q guar
anty of purity, on every package OF
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the puri-
ty and genuineness of White Lead
may be determined, and furnished
blow-pipe free to every one who
would write them for 1t. This ac-
lion was in itself a guaranty of the
purity of National Lead Company's
White Lead.

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and. herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination Of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete, restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.

the soil must be studied and the

/ This much wider adaptability Of
the plum is due to two causes. First
there are many different varieties, de
rived from many different species
some Of which thrive on one soil and
some on another. so that plums may
be selected for every kind of tillable
| soil; second, these different species
vary q great deal as to hardness.
While some of them are more ten
der than peaches, others are even
harder than apples, SO that they
may be grown in cold districts and
exposed situations: In spite of all it's
good points, the plum is sadly neg
leeted; In fact, it is a rarity to find
a supply OF good plums on any farm
in Massachusetts. There are a few
trees on almost every farm, but the
sad fact is that majority of them
are mere breeding places for black
knot; only few ever bear fine,
sound, clean fruit.

eating ont of hand it is surpassed by
the peach alone, as dessert fruit it
has no superior; while for canning it
easily ranks next to the peach, and
for jelly-making completes for first
place with the red currant.
Unfortunately, the general impress
sion has grown up that the plum is
difficult fruit to grow. In a certain
sense this is so; but when looked
at fairly, the plum is found to be as
easily managed as any other crop.
The difficulty is that men have con-
'idered 1t to be of secondary import
ance, and therefore have not given the |
same careful attention to it that they |
lave to what they consider more i'm

The Farm the Safety Stone.

Ii we for moment forgot that the
land underlies all prosperity, we have
been brought to sharp realization of
the truth by a recent panic. When de-
positors found they could not get their
cash from the banks, they eagerly
sought to exchange their bank books
for real estate deeds and mortgages.
Investors, who had their money tied up
in railroad stocks and bonds, sold out
and invested their money in real estate.
There has been a greater demand for
farm mortgages and other real estate
securities, by savings banks and large
investors, than for many years past.
In boom times people venture into
speculation, lured by the promise of
large profits and big interest But, at
the first sign of danger in the money
markets, their funds are withdrawn, TO
find security in land Investments. Land
may not always be quick cash asset,
but it does not burn up, take wings,
nor lose its value in day.

Good Words for Crawford.

Chicago Record Herald: Like MANY
of the public men of Dakota and Ne
braska, Coe I. Crawford was born in
Iowa. He was so years old last Jan
uary. The governor read his law
course at the State University at Iowa
City Throughout his mature life he
has been close student and discrimi-
mating reader. Els first wife. who
died in 1901 and his second wife, were
both born and raised in the Hawkeye
state.
A fine lawyer and a courageous man
with settled convictions and strong
moral principles. Governor Crawford
knows how to use facts and will be
recognized in the senate as a conyinc-
ing and powerful argumentative
speaker when he reaches that BODY.
He loves the storm and stress of a
campaign of issues, and never fails to
carry his cause directly into the heart
and homes of his constituents. Scotch
Irish in ancestry and temperament.
this new leader will be found careful
in experiments, and slow to leave the
old landmarks Of his party Ard he
may be relied upon to do all he can
do ingood conscience and sound policy
to eradicate the spirit of party bitter
ness that has come to near to wreck
ing the republican party in South Da-
kota, and in other states.
