Doc LlvOrmOro DlscOuragHd

Doc Livermore our human specialist and horse veternery, in a conversation with us at the P. O. tother day stated that he never saw such a healthy communety as Bingville in his life. and unless there wus more sickness in our midst in the future than there has been in the recent past, he calkilated that he will take down his shingie and set up practice in some other town where sickness is more numerous. Doc seys from his standpoint it is dis couraging to a physician of good stand ing, and makes him all out of patience when he don't have any patients. Why Doc seys there aint even been a horse sick in Bingville for as much as months past and him got pills and medieins of all kinds on his hands which there aint eny call for. Doc seys that unless con- tagun of some kind breaks out in Bing- vile soon. he might as well stop doctor ing and hire hisself out at hard labor by the day in order to make both ends meet.
 If we desire to retain Doc Livermore in our midst 1t will be necessary for us to have more sickness among us.

Eph Found Out

Eph Higgins our accommodatin post master received a registered package at this office last week for Solon Cobbz who lives down Snake Bend way, Eph showed the package to several who come to the office and everybody wondered what wus inside of 1t. Eph said he thought by the heft of it that the package con tained counterfeit money. but Anne fIillyer our atturney and legal light offered to bet Eph the seegars that 1t didn't. Eph took the wager and opened the package which wus found to contain dozen silver hives and forks which Solon had sent to the city for to give his wife. When Solon called for his mail and found the packege had ben opened he talked pretty high to Eph and told him he didn't have any right to open other peoples mail, speedily registered letters. Eph asted Solon if he realized what he was saying to a servunt of the United States gover- munt. Just then Anne Hillyer entered the office and Eph told Anne what Solon had said Anne he quoted law and told Solon that for taken to a postmaster in that manner he was liable to be sent to the penitentiary Solon got turrible scared and apolijized to Eph after which he went home very humble and contrite.

The grand and glorious Fourth of | July was celebrated in our midst yes terday with appropriate ceremonies, a | full and authentic account of which appears elsewhere in this issue of the Bugie.
 We are glad that patriotism is not | dead in Bingville. We are glad that the spark of loyalty to the star spangled banner-still burns in the breasts of our most respected citizens, and we hope it will continue so to burn. It is town of Bingville should commemorate question of what the Fourth of July was for come up in Hen Weathersby's store one night last week, and the arg iinents advanced was menny and euri- ous. Hank Dewberry calkilated that the Fourth of July was held each year in order to properly celebrate the disco very of America. Lem Quiggley took exceptions to this. Lem said it was done to recall the time that General Washington took the bull by the horns at the battle of Bull Run. The argi- flyers got pretty loud until finally Hen Weathersby, prop. of the general store who is quite historiker said that the Fourth of July was to celebrate the declaration of Independence. Hen is right, and we are glad to indorse his statement Hen will load his scales and has been known to put sand in his sugar, but 1t is pretty hard to ketch him when 1t comes to historical facts and figures.
 It is sad to reflect that there is peo- pie in Bingville who don't know what the Fourth of July is for, and if you notice them is the ones who always shoots of the most fire crakers and get there fingers burned and holIers the loudest every time the Fourth comes round.
 We trust that in the future the gio- rious and unanimous Fourth will be appropriately celebrated in Bingville by them as know what it is for as we'll as all them who is ignorant like Hank Dewberry and Lem Quiggley. Let the sereech of the eagle always be heard in this vicinity on the Fourth Let the stars and stripes wave over the house tops. Let the voice of the fire crakers be heard and let us always hereafter join in the grand glories of patriotism, and thus teach our rising generations eff we have eny) the glorious lessen of patriotism. E plurihus unum. one and forever, Amen.

RAISING YOUNG TURKEYS.

Last summer was my first expert
ence in raising turkeys. | had one
young hen and as l wanted to keep
her laying and to get the first eggs
she laid to hatch as early as possible,
| put the first eight eggs under hen,
had seven from that hatch. 1 kept
them in a dry, sunny place. They
were doing fine until they were about
five days old when l found one away
from the hen and thought it got
chilled. l brought it to the house,
wrapped it in cloth and laid in the
oven. After while l looked at it
when 10! l found it literally covered
with those large hen lice, then knew
what allied my turkeys. l raised FIVE
out of that hatch. Here is what l
did for them, so it may be benefit to
some one in like trouble. l took all
the turkeys from the hen, put them
in an old pail, put in tablespoonful
of insect powder in the bottom
and busted a little on them, being
careful not to get any of it in their
eyes, threw a cloth over them and
left them fifteen or twenty minutes,
looked at them once in while.
Now to rid the hen of these pests be-
fore giving them back, made a wash
of soft water, soft soap and one-half
cup of kerosene oil, mixing it thor
oughly, put it in vessel large enough
to immerse the hen all but the eyes.
/ now wiped her dry and set her in a
box by the kitchen fire until she got
dry enough to walk around. Now let
her out in the sun and in short time
you can give her back her turkeys
and all is well. / lost no more after
this. | was wondering afterwards IL
the powder would not have done as
we'll for the hen as for the turkeys.
That / will try this summer.-Mrs. ].

WILL OLD SEEDS GROW?

A correspondent writes: 1 have
just been testing some 1906 crop of
corn and l find that it tests only sew
enty-two per cent.-much too low
to make it safe to plant. The trouble
with this old corn is that even by
testing every ear one is not sure of
getting good seed, for one side of
the seed may be good and the other
side poor. l would never use two
year-old seed, unless as last resort.
l have also been testing lately some
Evergreen Sweet Corn, of 1906 crop,
and find that only about thirty per
cent. will grow. Glover and alfalfa
seed lose their terminating power
very rapidly after the first year, and
when these seeds show dark brown
color they should be tested carefully.
But If these old seeds are used, we
should bear in mind that they re-
quire more moisture to germinate
them, than it does fresh seed, and
they will need to be sown deeper.
These dry, old seeds will require
more time to germinate, but they
also will stand harder conditions

DO THE CuLLING NOW.

It is strange how many people dis
like to Gull out unthrifty animals.
They pour feed into them month after
month, and then after six months
or more of heavy feeding have moth
ing to show for their grain and care.
The time to Gull is right now, and
don't stop with the unthrifty hogs
and sheep. Gull right straight
through the cattle yards and the
horse barns. A stunted or unthrifty
horse will make an expensive work
animal, because it has not the en-
durance to stand hard days work.
The milch COW that has poor digestion
has no place in the dairy barns, eat
ing clover hay worth $12 and S21
worth of bran. The steer that stands
at the hunks most of the time but
still shows no gain is an expensive
animal to have around. In addition
to these poor feeders, there are u.s.
ually animals about big farm which
keep eating but never seem to get
anywhere. Cut them all out. Better
give them away than feed them five
or six months.-L. G. Brown, in

SPLENDID TREE LUPIN.

There is measure of refined col
oring and superb finish in Towering
bush of Lupinus Somerset that the
numerous forms of l.. arboreus that
pass for it entirely lack. The true
plant is distinct in every respect,
and above all in the rich butter yell
low of the giant flower spikes. Seed
lings do not come true, but revert
to the extent of eighty-fve per cent.
to typical arboreus, the tree lupin,
and the probability is these reverts
are accepted as typical Somerset. The
true Somerset has fleshy stems,
larger leaves and much finer flowers
and when obtained true it is one OF
the most handsome towering plants

LILIES AND ROSES.

$50 surely as our garden has roses
1t should have lilies" writes Charles
M. Skinner in his delightful book on
Little Gardens" with roses, lilies
and vines, 1t is garden in sooth
These flowers are apart from most
others in form and mode of growth,
and they are of surprising loveliness.
In their exquisite purity, their white
humility, their exceeding fragrance,
which one breathes with sort of
rapture, they stir, not merely admira-
tion, but emotions akin to those we
feel in contemplating the qualities
of lily in member of the human
family: emotions of affection, touched
with reverence. These are flowers
that saints have borne about the
earth, and are thought to bloom in
heaven. The old masters show the
angels wreathed with lilies.
And they consort charmingly with
the rose; that is, their simplicity and
silvery whiteness make them foil to
the other flower = passionate, rich
colored-and its slender leaves are a
contrast to the luxurlant bush. When
we have planted rose, a substantial,
free blooming damask, or q hearty
old cabbage rose, at the back of a
bed, it can have no better company
than lily.
Though a trine tall for border,
any or all Of the lilies will make a
good appearance against green
background, caro- being taken to
avoid such contrasts as cheaper the
red and yellow of some varieties when
placed near other flowers. The wood
lily and tiger lily, for example. are
of tawny or foxy shade that suffers
by contact with the crimson of a rose.
the pink OF a peony, or the scarlet of
geranium. They can better abide
near zinnias, marigolds, nasturtiums
and coreopsIs. The Home Beauti-

POULTRY SECRETS.

Our birds are kept in dry, warm
place. The great secret is to feed a
little less than they will eat and to
keep them warm; also to breed from
good, strong, healthy, well-bred stock
exclusively. At first they should be
fed five times daily; when six weeks
old the feelings have passed into
three times. AS they approach this
age they get cracked wheat, beef
scraps, etc., and then are allowed
free range. This ration is not varied
until the pullets are old enough to
lay, then they get wheat in the morn
ing, mixed grain at noon, and mash
of cornmeal, wheat bran and mid
dlings and ground oats at night. To
improve the laying qualities of my
flocks | breed from my best layers

rama varieties of roses grown as

sometimes thrive, but on rockery
they find their ideal and generally
flourish amazingly. OF course, the
