A Milwaukee couple want to be di,

insisted on his accompanying her on
shopping tours; the wife. because her
husband wore neckties that did not
patch her gowns. says the Baltimore
American. With the most sacred Of

Secretary Wilson, who has been
touring New York state investigating

with the farming and not with the
farms. The soil is not exhausted.
Profitable crops are possible. scien.
tific knowledge and work are the
essentials. Scientific agriculture in
the so-called manufacturing states
where proximity TO urban centers
with their markets adds to the value
OF any crop deserves to be recognized
as one Of the most important phases
OF the conservation OF resources and
OF relief from the present burden.

of the beef trust. the dairy product

LOSSES FROM THE BOIL wEEvlL

The bulletin OF the department OF
agriculture on the Mexican boil weevil
sheds very little new light on tho sub
ject. No remedy has been found for
that most voracious and destructive
insect; and the department merely re
iterates its recommendation with re-
gard to the burning OF the cotton
stalks and the work during the winter
looking to keep down the pest-points
upon which the southern farmers have
been well instructed Of late. and which
they are thoroughly carrying out. The
only gratifying part of the bulletin is
the estimate that the amount OF dam.
age caused by the weevil is S25 ,000, 900.
This is the figure given two and three
years ago. when the weevil was re-
stricted to Texas. The damage had
grown from year to year UP to that
time. and II was expected that II would
continue to grow as the weevil spread
eastward, until II rose to heavy pro-
portion of the crop. In spite of this
spread OF the pest. the total loss re-
mains the same. amounting to not
more than four per cent OF the crop.
or course. some localities-and Louisi.
ana most of ali--has suffered more,
but the cotton crop as a whole is not
materially reduced by the weevil, and
the amount II returns to the southern
farmers will be very little cut down.

Progress in medical compounds

prominent medical man that any
deep-seated cough or cold on the
lungs can be actually cured In five
hours by the clock. Opium OF NOR
phine have been resorted to In the
past, as relief measures. But now IL
is learned that the system must be
treated to rid IL OF Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrurp does the work SO quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished In hours.
Get this formula filed or mix II at
home and always keep II on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white
pine compound. Shake the bottle and
take twenty drops every half hour
for four hours. Then take one-half
to one teaspoonful three or four times
a day until the system is purified and
toned up. Give children less according

disease the special influence of season de-

be remembered that, other things being
