TranspIanting.

As the time approaches for removing
young plants from the fats in the
house or from the hotbed outside, an
extra amount Of airing must be given
to harden them. Plants which have
started indoors or under glass are
more or less tender and will not be
able to thrive under the rigor Of early
spring planting without treatment
They must become hardened, or accli.
mated, to the new conditions.
At least week before transplanting
remove the sash entirely from the bot
bed during the day and allow abund-
ance of ventilation at night, except
when heavy frost threatens. This will
give the plants practically an outside
temperature for the greater part Of the
day and they will grow stronger and
harder thereby. At this time also less
watering should be given to check
growth and make the plants more re.
sistant to the cold. All plants can en-
dure lower degree Of temperature un.
der dry than under moist conditions.
Most seedlings are transplanted d.
rect from the fiat or hotbed to the open
garden when they have attained 9
height Of from four to six inches OF
more. When facilities are at hand a
better way is to first transplant them
to a cold frame which Is the same as
a hotbed without the heat. In the cold
frames they become accustomed to low
er temperature and are still protected
from frost Of nights and on cold days
A still better way is to transplant the
young plants at the appearance Of
their second or third set of true leaves
to two inch flower pots.

Disking Alfalfa,

The work Of dlsking alfalfa requires
little bit of skill. The disk must be
set just so 1t will cut the ground suf-
ficiently and do as little damage as
possible. A little experience will en-
able any intelligent man to do the very
best work in the field. There are times
and conditions when the spring tooth
harrow may do all right, but gener-
ally nothing but good sharp disk with
enough big horses in front and a COM
petent man on the seat can do the
work. | use only the smoothing har-
row In the early spring, but after each
moving | use a disk or spring tooth,
whichever l think best, always finish
Ing with a spike tooth, so as to leave
the field in the very best possible con-
dition for the growing crop. 1t is a
real pleasure to see the alfalfa start
out anew and grow about one inch a
day on an average Field and
Farm.

Helpful Hints.
OH up the work harness.


The neglected colt or calf will prove
profitless.
Cattle will never do well In the same
pasture as sheep.
Wood charcoal should always be
kept In the hog pen.
How are the farm implementsp Any
of them need repairs?
To improve live stock, requires in.
telllgence and thought.
1t is a good plan to have the horses
and cows clean up their managers after
each feed,
There is such a thing as overlooking,
Feed stock all the food they will as.
simulate, but not more.
Don't have lot OF manure living
In the yards all summer. II win lose
Just about half of It's value by fall.
1t Is better to feed the cows fodder
and hay after milking, as 1t keeps
the dust down. Feed the grain before
milking,
Don't plant poor, weak seed corn
next spring. 1t is time and money
thrown away. There is plenty OF good
at-nns seed to be had.

Long Time Ago.


Near the lake where droop'd the willo
Long time ago!
Where the rock threw back the billow,
Brighter than snow;
Dwelt a maid, belov'd and cherish'd
By high and low;
But with autumn's left she perished
Long time ago!
Rock and tree and flowing water,
Long time ago!
Bee and bird and blossom taught her
Loves spell to know
While to my fond words she listened,
Murmuring low,
Tenderly her dove-eves glistened
Long time ago!
Mingled where our hearts forever
Long time ago!
Can / now forget her?-never!
No, lost one, no
To her grave these tears are given
Ever to flow;
She's the star | miss'd from Heaven
Long time ago!

The end carrying the nozzle is always
free to operate, the water flowing un-
obstructed through the unusued hose
encircling the reel. Moving the ap-
paratus backward or forward lengthens
or shortens the line Of hose but does
not interfere with the flow Of che wa
ter, which Is at all times unimpeded.
In addition, spigot is arranged on the
axle to regulate the flow Of the wa
ter. The axle is hallow, the water
travelling through the hose into the axle
and out Of one end Of the axle into
the short length Of hose terminating
In the nozzle.

A. s. Alexander, veterinary surgeon,
explodes the old idea that horse can
become "chest-foundered." He says
that such cases are those suffering
from chronic founder (laminitis),
which affects the feet and not the chest
In outstanding cases Of foot lameness
the chest muscles may waste away in
sympathy, and that fact has led to
the 'chest founder Idea. Such horse
should be shod with wide-webbed, fiat
bar shoes, put on over dressing of tar
and oakum, and thick leather sole.
Then clip off the hair and blister the
hoof heads (cor0nets) of forefeet with
mixture of one dram of blniodide of
mercury and two ounces of cerate of
cantharides rubbed in for fifteen min
utes. Wash blister off In forty-eight
hours, then apply lard daily. Blister
every three or four weeks.

The Kansas experiment station has
carried out an extensive series of ex-
periments along the line of hog chol-
era and its prevention. The method
Of rendering hogs immune to the dis.
ease was by vaccination. A virus was
introduced into the system which re-
acted upon possible contagion, thus
protecting the animal against the dis
ease for period of several months.
The experiment showed that through
this process the successfully vacclnated
hog is lmmunized and can be kept with
no risk of Infection for n period long
enough to fatten and prepare for mar
ket.

According to figures compiled by the
Census Bureau, the birth rate in this
country has fallen off, decidedly. In 1880
the average family in this country con-
sisted of 5.S persons and in 1900 it was
only 4.6 persons The ratio of children
to women since 1890 has been cut in
half, the number being in 1900 one child
to each woman over 16 years old, the

PRAIRIE DOGS TO BE POISONED.
Coated Wheat Is TO BE Fed to Enemy
of Farmers in the West.

Poisoned wheat is to be used as bait b
kill off the prairie dogs, the stockmen's
enemy, that now infest Arizona and New
Mexico and have become a menace to the
forest ranges there. On ranch lands prai-
rie dogs have been destructive to wheat,
grain, potatoes and sugar beets; while
on grazing lands they destroy so much
grass that the grazing capacity of the
land is reduced to 70 per cent. Last
spring a successful campaign was waged
against the prairie dog and this year 1t
will be conducted on larger scale. The
poison is prepared by coating the wheat
with a preparation of strychnine, cyanide
of potassium, anise oil and molasses

.OEPEWS 18TH BIRTHDAY
Senior Senator From New York Was
Kept Busy Today Receiving the
Congratulations of Friends.
(Herald Specially

Washington, D. c., April 23.-
Chauncey NJ Depew, now the senior
senator from New York, was kept
busy today receiving the congratula-
tions of his colleagues in the senate
on the occasion of his seventy-fifth
birthday. Senator Depew was born in
Peekskill, N Y, April %, 1884, and
received his education at Yale. His
public career dates from his election
to the general assembly of New York
in 1861.
Senator Depew is enjoying better
health at present than he has for sew
eral years past At the same time the
serious illness which he suffered sew
eral years ago aged him consider
ably, and he makes no secret of the
fact that he will welcome the oppor-
tunity to retire from public life when
his term in the senate expires two
years hence.
For many years, until failing health
compelled him to curb his activities,
Senator Depew was one of the fore
most figures in American public life.
He was undoubtedly the greatest
after-dinner orator in the United
States. AS a lawyer he stood for
years at the head of the New York
bar, and as attorney for the Wander
bits and other great corporations he
held his own against such men as
Roscoe Conkling, William NJ Eyarts,
David Dudley Field and other great
legal lights of the metropolis.
AS president of the New York Cen
trail railroad Mr.. Depew for years

managed one of the biggest corpora
tons in the country, and as a leading
New York politician he has been elect
ed twice to the United States senate
and once declined the request of the
republican party of his state to have
his name put before the national con-
vention as a candidate for the presi-
dency
Senator Depew has been the orator
on three great national and interna-
tional occasions-the unwilling of the
Statue of Liberty in New York har-
Dor, the centennial celebration of the
Inauguration of President Washing
ton, and the opening of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition at Chicago in
1892.

Rest treatment For coISs.

Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplest treatment" says the Chi
cago Tribune, ''moderative laxatives,
hot foot baths, a free perspiration and
an avoidance of exposure to cold and
wet after treatment While this
treatment is simple, it requires con-
siderable trouble, and the one adopt
ing it must remain in doors for day
or two, or a fresh cold is almost sure
to be contracted, and in many in
stances pneumonia follows. Is it not
better to pin your faith to an old re-
liable preparation like Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, that is famous for its
cures of colds and can always be de-
pended upon?

THE SHACKLEs
Fair Audience Heard Or. Harlow at
the Christian Church Last Night.
Excellent Music.


A fair audience came through the
drizzling rain last night to hear DR.,
Harlow at the Christian church. The
music was up to the high standard of
previous services. The special num-
Der of the evening was a duet, "Eter-
nifty is Near" by Prof Dawdy and
Miss Teamer. Many who heard the
song before had requested its repeti-
ton. A number last night expressed
the hope that it might be heard again
before the meeting closes.
DR.. Harlow's subject last night was
"Loosing the Shackles." He likened
spiritual bondage to the physical, and
called attention to some of the things
that bind men. The first mentioned
was ignorance. This was declared to
be the curse both of the church and
the world 1t is strangely inconsist-
ent that those who are not christians
should neglect or refuse to familiarize
themselves with Divine Truth as re-
vealed in the bible. But it is stranger
still that church members are so neg
ligent of the same privilege and duty.
Another shackle closely akin to ig
norance, and Resulting from it, is
prejudice. This keeps thousands of
people from enjoying the liberty of
the sons of God.
Superstition was discussed at some
length as manifested in present day
life The peculiarities of VARIOUS
classes were presented and the folly
of superstition made clear.
The fourth and last shackIe men
toned was tradition This was what
bound the religious leaders of Jesus
time They made void the commands
of God by their traditions It was
declared that this is what many are
doing today. If they are asked why
they do certain things not authorized
by the bible they can only answer he
cause the fathers did it." They are
following tradition
An earnest appeal was made to all
to let Jesus remove these shackles,
that they may be free. Ignorance He
will remove by giving knowledge.
This may be obtained by a prayerful
and faithful study of the bible, Pref
udice will disappear as we come to
yield ourselves wholly to the love of
God and Christ, and ask first and
foremost, Lord, what wilt thou have
me to do?4 Superstition and tradition
win follow, and man shall be free in
deed
The subject for tonight will be RE
