Then suddenly there popped in her head
the way
Most serenely to spend our national day.
At evening she plugged all the keyholes
with wax
And over each window hung blankets
from tacks;
Then. filling her ears full OF pink cotton
batting,
She tied on her nightcap. all rufties and
tatting,
And said to herself, "Now. we'll SEQ II

The mayor OF Bristol, however. was sick.
And even SO low as to mind the clocks

And therefore the council made haste to

Just think of the grief of those poor Bris-
toll boys
When reading this placard which vetoed
their 1oysl
But Polly slept sweetly. for no thunder
GUS roar
OF cannon terrific awoke her at four.
Twas late when she rose, with supreme
satisfaction.
Preparing herself for day of inaction,
For how could she work-the house dark
as pocket
And mercury going way up like rocket
But when perspiration meant peace and
protection
She felt she could stand it with little OBJ
lection.
So all day long in the darkness and heat
She sweltered and worried. while outside
the sweet,
Ripe fragrance Of summer pervaded the
air.
The birds gave their concerts. all nature
was fair.

~ 40 hSNSSouAJ W Weigh q
oats or so on fine balance such as
any doctor or druggist possesses. then
press out the bulls and weigh them
and calculate the per cent. The weight
of oats to the measured bushel varies
from twenty-five to fifty pounds. The
heavy oats are of course the most
valuable. Nearly all grain elevators
have q small device for testing the
weight per bushel.
Another point to be considered is the
tendency to stool. In localities where
the summers are cool and late varie-
ties can be grown, tendency to stool
considerably is desirable, since thick
stand can be secured with less seed.
Where the summers are hot and early
varieties must be grown, however, the
tendency to stool to any great extent
should be discouraged, since stooling
always delays ripening. Often hull
will be seen partly inclosing smaller
oat. These small oats are known as
pin oats. They lessen the yield, and
strain which contains many of them
should be Disseminated against.
There are three general types of oats
side oats, hulless oats and spreading
oats. The hulless varieties do not yield
enough to be of any great value. The
side oats, In which the berries are all
on one side of the head, are grown in
this country to limited extent only.
Most of the oats grown are of the
spreading varieties. There are varie-
ties of oats of almost every color.
white. yellow, black and green being
the most common. There is little diff
ference in yield that can be ascribed
to color. If they are grown in COM
munity in large enough quantities SO
that they can be shipped In carload
lots the selling price will not vary
much.
Selecting Wheat and Barley Heads.
In selecting wheat heads those that
do not shell too readily should be given
the preference, since much wheat is
lost by Smelling during harvest. The
grains should be plump. smooth and
bright. The seed coat should be tough
and not cracked. Where the bran is
brittle and cracks easily it is difficult
to separate 1t from the flour. The
Kernels should be hard. Hard wheat
makes better -four owing to the great
err percentage Of gluten, and millers
will pay more for 1t. Beardless wheat
is more easily handled. but 1t does not
yield as well as the bearded varieties.
In barley the hull adheres to the
kernel in thrashing. The grains should
be bright, as the quality of brewing
barley depends largely upon the color
The best barley for brewing purposes
is that which contains the most starch.
This can be determined by cutting
through the grain and noting the per.
centage Of starch to horny parts. For
feeding purposes smaller percentage
Of starch is desired.
Beardless barley is little less hardy
and yields little less than the beard
ed sorts, but the convenience of han
ding more than makes up for this
There are two types of barley, the two
rowed and the six rowed. The si1
rowed varieties have given the best
satisfaction In this country.

 white they were engaged, and naturally about all they find up there is wind and moonshlne, or from novels which always end be- fore the real trouble begins, or, they keep on, leave out the chap ters that tell how the husband finds the rent and the wife the hired girl.

Weak Women

To weak and ailing women. there is at least one way to help. But with that way, two treatments, must be combined. One is local. one is constitu- tonal but both are important, both essential.
 Dr Shoop's Night Cure is the Local.
 Dr Shoop's Restorative the Constitutional.
 The former-Dr Shoop's Night Cure-is topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. shoop's Restorative is wholly an internal treat ment. The Restorative reaches throughout ths entire system. seeking the repair of all nerve. ell tissue and all blood ailments
 The Night Cure. as it's name implies. does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and infiam- cd mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges while the Restorative. eases nervous excitement, gives renewed yigor and ambition. builds I'D wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength. yigor. and energy.
