PEAT MOSS FOR BEDDING.

Peat moss contains more nitrogen
than straw, but less phosphoric acid
and much less potash. This impor-
tant point needs to be fully empha-
sized; farmyard manure, made with
straw litter, contains sufficient potash
for ordinary purposes, and potassic
manures in consequence are not much
needed. But when peat moss is sub
stituted for straw there is no longer
sufficiency of potash, and these man
ures must, therefore, be applied; they
are very cheap, and the saving in nj
trogen more than recompenses the
farmer for his outlay. With regard
to the absorptive power OF the two
substances, it has been pointed out
above that the minimum loss OF nitro
gen in good farming practice is not
less than fifteen per cent. 1t is easy
to exceed this, and thirty or forty per
cent. would not improbably be lost in
many cases. Both straw and peat, in
common with other cellulose sub
stances. have the power of absorbing
ammonia, though u various degrees,
and in these experiments the absorp-
tive power of the peat mess was found
to be five times as great as. Of the
straw. From the standpoint Of the
value of the manure produced, there
fore. peat moss is much better than
straw as litter, owing to its higher MI
trogen content and its greater power
Of absorbing Ammonia. = American
Cultiyator.

and my appetite was very poor. tried
many sure cures but they were of little

Many interesting details as to the
marriages which took place in Eng.
land and Wales during 1906 are given
in the registrar generals detailed re.
port for that year. There were more
of them than in the previous year. but
the increase was not conspicuous in
the case of widowers, while therewas
no increase at all In that of widows.
AS already recorded, the birth rate
was abnormally low, while the death
rate was higher for the year. The
marriage rate shows an increase Of
0.3 over 1905, but was 0.2 below the
average for the ten years 1S96-1905.
The birth rate was the lowest ever re-
corded, being OIL less than in 1905
and 1.6 lower than the decennial
average. London Chronicle.

General Demand

of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because it's com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
BY all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

TRAPPERs' GOOD SEASON.
Profitable Return From Killing Of
Fur Bearing Animals in Minneso-

FuF Bearing Animals IN MiHHSSo-
ia.
The season for killing fur bearing
animals has ended and it is estimat'
ed that during the season the trap
pers Of Minnesota have receiv-
ed considerably more than 100000
for the skins taken. Trappers who
have been in the business for years
report that there are more Of the ami
mails in the State now than ever be-
fore, a fact accounted for by tbs
heavy rainfall of the last few years.
The closed season for fur bearing
animals opens on November 10 and
lasts until April Is, the only animals
protected, however, being the musk
rat and the mink The largest 1n'
crease is in the number of muskrat.
although there has also been a large
increase in the number Of mink. The
high water of the last few years has
been particularly favorable for the
muskrat which migrate from their
bones in periods OF low water and
then their food supply gets short.
For two or three years there has
been plenty of rain and all the
streams, lakes and pools have been
Kept full, affording the muskrat suit
able homes, and as they multiply rap
idly the supply has increased greatly
IN spite of the activity of the trap
pers during the open season.
Reports received by Carlos Avery,
executive agent of the State Game
and Fish Commission. from all parts
OF the State indicate that the same
condition exists throughout the State.
AT the muskrat skins bring from 10
10 IS cents each and the mink skins
% and Sc each, the income of the
Tappers has been very large. Many
cases are reported in which farmer
boys have taken enough skins from
me home farm to net them several
oundned dollars.-St. Paul Pioneer
