The Ingenuity of Inventors.

The ingenuity Of inventors and
manufacturers Is ever at work in the.
endeavor. to reduce the expense of
production, and at the same time to.
improve the quality Of articles having
a large sale. This Is not only benef-
cial to the purchasing public, but It
inures 20 the benefit of the producer
In Increasing sales and preventing
competition. This has been SO in the
case of farm machinery, clothing,
shoes, bicycles, ETC., and now 1t is APP
parent In the safety razor field. Thou
sands of this style OF razor have been
sold at from $3.50 to IS each and CIV
en- satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
their manufacture, and the result is
seen In the 'Shrp Shayr" razor, which
IS sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 134 Leonard street, New
York. It is superior to any razor
sold. being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hav-
ing two or three razors and alternat-
ing them in use. This practice Of al
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale Of this low priced i'm
| plement.

Concrete Poles.

In continuance Of the declared
policy Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
system to provide against timber
scarcity, the lines west Of Pittsburg
have just completed and placed In
experimental service line of concrete
telegraph poles through New Brigh-
ton, Pa. It's construction followed a
series Of elaborate experiments which
have been conducted during the past
two years.
Owing to the fact that wooden
poles are constantly becoming more
expensive and more difficult to OBJ
tain, the Pennsylvania, in 1906 began
to test the value Of concrete as a
substitute for wood. Fifty-three re-
inforced concrete poles were set up
IN the line along the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway, near
Naples, Ind. Agar later they were
giving entire satisfaction and showed
no evidence Of decay.

Pellagra-A New and Dangerous Dis
ease in the South.
Washington Dispatch


The marine hospital service will
make a determined effort to- stamp
out the new and dreadful disease
which is playing havoc in certain sec
tons in the South and which is
known to physicians as pellagra.
Pellagra appears to resemble lep-
rosy in some respects, but ends in
permanent insanity. It is said to
have been imported from Italy, but
seems to be induced by eating meal
made from smutty or fermented corn.
Assistant Surgeon Lavinder, Of the
hospital service, made a trip through
The South this year and examined a
number of cases, especially in South
Carolina, where the epidemic is at its
worst. In the Mount Vernon Insane
Asylum in 1907 there were SO cases,
81 Of which ended fatally. An effort
will be made at the coming session to
persuade Congress to appropriate
sufficient funds to enable the marine
service to institute a vigorous cam
oaign again.t the disease, and it is
Hoped that it can be stamped out be-
tore it attains the frightful proper
ions. it has reached in foreign coun-
.ries, especially in Italy in Roumania.

A Worrisome Weed.

The common name is cnickweed.
The botanical name is Alsine media
In Britton, and Browns Illustrated
Flora; but in Gray's Manual 1t is
Stellaria media. 1t is a pernicious
weed, but so often neglected and
omitted from lists OF troublesome
weeds. probably because of its small
size and inability to prove very de-
structive to larger cultivated plants.
1t is an annual plant, and in theory
annual plants can be exterminated
in one season by preventing them
from producing a crop of seeds by
which to perpetuate themselves.
In the case Of this plant, how
ever, the theory is not easily an

nov TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
It Is An Internal Disease And Re
quircs An Internal Remedy.

~
The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid IN the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system SO
regulated that no more acid will be formed
in excessive quantities. Rheumatism is an
internal disease and requires an internal
remedy. Rubbing with Oils and Linimcnts
will not cure, affords only temporary relief
at best, causes you to delay the proper
treatment, and allows the malady to get q
hrner hold on you. Liniments may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure Rheu-
Matisp than paint will change the fibre
Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
ieet and complete cure, which is called
"Rheumacide." Tested in hundreds Of
cases, it has effected the-most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide gets at the joints from the in
side, sweeps the poisons out of the sys-
ten, tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you well all
over. Rheumacide strikes the roots OF
the disease and removes its cause This

Alfalfa Growing in the South.


The following article was written
from Auburn. Ala, July, 1903, by
Mr.. Joseph Wing:
But alfalfa they can grow here,
even on these sandy red ridges. How?
Why, by lining heavily. We used to
think that alfalfa in the South re-
CURED a certain time of sowing, re-
CURED this, that and the other thing.
1t Is yet true that there Is a right and
wrong way to SOW it, but we had not
guessed the one thing that made sue
cess certain, and without which all
the elaborate preparations in the
world resulted in failure. We had
not learned then that lime is the key
that unlocks the knotty problem.
True, we had said timidly lime
but we had not said how much. A
little lime, we had said. Now we
know that alfalfa wants.not q little
lime, not even enough lime, but "too
much lime," as enthusiastic lime
advocate expressed It, Just put on
TOO much line" and SOW alfalfa
seed at almost any time Of the year,
and you will get alfalfa. OF course,
If the land is also made rich you will
get bigger alfalfa. But with .toc
much lime" you get alfalfa and nc
grasses, no weeds to trouble, that is
the point. Without the lime you get
nothing-the alfalfa bacteria starves
the alfalfa becomes sickly, failure re.
suits. We did think that fall seadine
was the essential thing. We still
think August or September seeding
best for the South, but Mr. Jones

autumnal seedlings live through the
winter, and in regions of mild, open.
winters they begin. to flower and
mature seeds even in February or
March. before we are likely to think
they need attention. The sample
sent has a few dry, empty seed YES
sells on 1t. Others are yet green and
unopened. There are also flowers
and unopened buds, so that seed
production may yet continue a long
time in plants OF the same age as
this sample. Indeed, seed produc-
ton may continue till freezing wealth
er stops it in November or December.
II the plants are dug up or plowed
out and left on the ground they are
likely to renew their growth unless
they are put in piles and destroyed,
OR unless a prolonged period Of dry,
hot weather should deprive them Of
life.
Flowing infested fields in fall and
seeding with rye or winter wheat may
help keep it in check, or blowing r
ly in spring and planting with some
crop which shall receive frequent and
thorough cultivation will not only
destroy the young seedlings that may
spring up, but will check seed pro-

Coarse VS.. Finely Ground Corn ant
Cob Meal.

OOO SkCIks
W. A. c., Golddale, writes: Does
1t pay to feed corn ground with. the
cobs when the most OF the cob is in
pieces nearly as large as grains of
corn? l am feeding it to COWS and
young cattle.
How about Red Poll cattle where
grass is scarce for milk and beef?
Answer: We are inclined to favor
the feeding OF corn and cob meal.
because in our experiments to date
it has seemed to give US about the
same results as corn meal, and when
corn goes over fifty cents a busnel,
1t is such an expensive feed that #
must be used with the greatest econ
omy. Possibly you can so adjust
your mill as to grind your corn finer.
We either wish it ground down very
fine, a result that can be brought
about by running it through the mill
a second time, or else broken and left
very coarse. We are feeding split
corn to our beef cattle and they eat a
large per cent. Of the cobs without
any apparent injury. but when the
cobs are only partially ground down
and left sharp and angular, they will
irritate the digestive tract to some
extent.
Red Poll cattle make a very good
dual purpose breed. They are not
especially noted for their rustling
qualities, but will likely give you as
good satisfaction as n of the sos
! called dual purpose breeds. Cattle
to be successful must be~well fed and
cared for, and while you may not
have a large amount of native pas
lures, you can use soiling crops and
the silo to supplement your natural
grass to good advantage.-KnoxyilIe
