Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DR.. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no Opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.
For over two years I suffered un-
told agonies; my friends thought
nor rest at all. 1 tried different doc
tors, but failed to find relief. NY

A Hair Famine Predicted.

Hair has considerably risen in
price. In the city Of Limoges. the
principal market for hair, a kilo Of
hair worth 81 few years ago now
feeehes ga los. This rise has been
caused by the increased size Of hats.
which necessitates an extra supply
OF hair so as to Offer a proper basis
to the new structures. Moreover, the
young French peasant girls are less
anxious to part with their tresses;
and the dealers in hair are unable
to cope with the demand made upon
them. The crisis is attaining huge
proportions, and wearers of false hair
would do we'll to lay in a stock or
they will be compelled to pay famine
prices.-Gentlewom

The Kansas Agricultural College has
experimental with the various chem
ical formulas to repel flies from live
stock and recommends the following
as fairly satisfactory: Resin, III
pounds; laundry soap, two cakes; fish
oil, one-half pint; enough water to
make three gallons. Dissolve resin
in solution of soap and water by
heating, add the fish oil and the rest
of the water. Apply with brush,
If to be used as spray, add one-hali
pint Of kerosene. This mixture will
cost 7 to 8 cents gallon and one-hali
pint is considered enough for one ap
plication for COW. At first 1t will be
necessary to use two or three appli
cations per week until the outer ends
Of the hair become coated with the
resin. After that retouch those parts
where the resin is rubbed off.

The COW pea is large beanlIks
plant that produces large amount Of
forage. It is valuable as a green food
OF 1or blowing under for green ma
nure. It has been used successfully
for improving WORKOUT soils, especially
those that are light and sandy in tex.
ture. Its greatest advantage for this
purpose is its ability to gather nitro
gen from the air and mineral elements
from subsoil. When the crop is pillow.
ed under, these are left near the sur
face, where they will be available to
shallow-rooted crops and those which
cannot get nitrogen from the air. II
has been little used for hay in the
North, because 1t cannot be readily
Cried In this climate. 1t makes a good
green feed for milch cows between
August Is and September 15, or 1t may
be preserved in the silo by mixing
with corn fodder. For green manur
Ing, the seed should be sown broad
cast in late June or early July, al

growing in young orchards. Wher

The Cooks Fault.

One of the most annoying things
about swans is that they live to an
extremely great age and that it is i'm
possible for the ordinary observer to
guess what their years may be. Pres
ident Grover Cleveland once had an
amusing experience with some swans,
according to writer in the American
Magazine. He had been in the South,
shooting, and brought home a number
of wild swans, one of which he sent
to each member of his Cabinet, and
to some other associates.
"All the boys" said Mr.. Cleveland

membered them, but none OF +, them
seemed 20 have much to say about
how they enjoyed the birds.

MEN OF LABRADOR.

After visit to his old home In
England and a trip to Paris in 1907,
DR.. Wilfred Grenfell returned to his
work in Labrador with satisfaction.
In writing to a friend Of his cordial
reception the doctor declared the men
OF Labrador to be far ahead OF the
men Of Paris. The incident Is found
in Mr., Johnston's "Grenfell of Labra-

Shallow cultivation conserves the
moisture and prevents 1t from escap-

falls the loose ground absorbs more
than does the hard soil, as the letter
permits the water to flow of. When
the rain goes down into the soil, and
the soil is then loosened, the capillary
