POP ANS0N WAS VICTIM
OF PRACTICAL J0KERS

Adrian G. Arson, in the spot
light at present because he is to
become the Moses of the National
league, was probably the heaviest
sufferer from jokers that ever
wore base ball uniform. Some
of the things pulled on Anse were
screams.
During the closing days of his
regime, Arson was unfortunate in
leading band of joshers COM
posed of Jimmy Ryan, Bill Lange,
Bill Dahien, Jim Callahan, NAL
achi Kittredge, Clarke Griffith
and a few others less famous but
just as ornery.
Singing Arson was the favor
lite amusement of this bunch, and
the old man would have needed
the eyes of fly to keep up with
the things planned for him. OF
all the tricks for which Arson
fell. none ranked with the pneu-
matte mattress joke.
One of the railroads expert
. mented one season with pneu-
matte mattresses In the sleepers-
big rubber bags when inflated,
thin sheets when emptied. The
Chicago team met up with them
one night.
When the porter made up the
berths this night, Lange and
Ryan coaxed Arson Into the smok-
Ing compartment. while bad Bill
Dahien did the dirty work. Dab
len finding that the mattresses
were blown up through a valve
controlled by little plug. simply
unscrewed the plug until It was
almost ready to spring out. Then
everyone went to bed.

Pruning Trees and Shrubs.-Prun-
ing of shrubs and trees is thinning
out process which is invigorating un-
less carried to an extreme. 1t allows
the remainder of the plant to receive
the nourishment which is saved by
cutting unsightly or unsymmetrical
branches. A stronger growth is made
possible in the rest OF the plant. To
get the best results pruning should be
done annually, thus removing all sb
psrfiuous wood and better preserving
the health and shape OF the plant.
All woody plants should be pruned
when transplanted, The roots are
necessarily reduced and active growth
retarded by the transplanting process,
so the top of the plant should be re-
duced correspondingly to lessen the
amount of evaporation. In most cases
the top should be cut back at least
one-hslf, while in fruit trees all side
branches are removed entirely, leav-
ing nothing but the stem. This leaves
the tree to form new branches in &C.
cordance with its new surroundings
in trees three or four years old sew
eral Of the main branches are left
but they are cut back one-half, so as
10 form a new top.

Dipping plants vary greatly in size
and style according to the conditions
they have to satisfy; however, we pre-
sent herewith illustrations embodying
ideas now commonly found in the
most approved plants. The farmer
who has but a small number of sheep
to dip can use a portable vat for dip
ping, turning part Of the shed into
catching pen and holding the sheep
after dipping for a moment at the top
of the incline to allow draining, thus
doing away with the necessity Of a
draining pen, says the Homestead.
The dip in the tank may be kept
warm by dipping out as it cools and
replenishing with hot dip from large
kettle or caldron. Where large
flock is to be dipped it is economical
in the long run to build permanent
plant. Such plant consists Of col
lecting pens and draining yards. Heat
ing tanks and boilers will have to be
provided, and for this purpose some
use boilers made especially for the
purpose, others obtain portable en-
gines. A thermometer is very essen
tial, as the dip is most effective when
it is warm as the sheep can stand it.
The floating dairy thermometer is very
satisfactory and several should be
bought at the same time SO that brok-
en- ones can be replaced. Dipping
crutches or forks are also necessary

of prevention. Remember that pre-
vention is better than cure, in this
case as well as in any other. The loss
Of mutton and wool through the in
roads of vermin and parasites, such as
ticks, lice, scab. etc, it may safely be
said, is hundredfold greater than
the cost of dipping. Just as long as
sheep breeders look upon dipping as
an unnecessary trouble, just so long
will our tocks be infested with such
troubles as are mentioned above. Al
though our laws are somewhat strin-
gent on the dipping question, the dis
appearance of parasitic troubles from
our flock is not yet in sight. If every
sheepmap in the United States would
dip his sheep thoroughly at proper in
tervals in some good proprietary dip
we should be soon free from such ter
rible scourges as scab, ticks, etc. Aus
tralia. whose tiocks are the largest in
the world and which at one time were
so badly affected with scab, is now a
scabless country, and with the same
persistent effort shown by our Aus
tralian friends our country could like
wise be a scabless country, for if it
can be reduced with care, with a lit
tie extra care it can be eradicated !;
this has been proven beyond all doubt.

plan TO dip the lambs, as at this time

ordinary fork handle.
Modern Sheep" has this to say on
the subject of dipping: THE sheep
breeder that expects to run his flock
successfully without the somewhat
boresome work of dipping is doomed
to failure. 1t is profitable to dip once
a year. and in most cases twice; even
if there is no sign of vermin in the
flock it should be dipped as matter

Philip says his spouse has been too
affectionate with others, also that it
was she who beat him, with broom,
nor did he try to take the broom from
her. The lady on the stand, denied
the statement that she had burned his

HOT WEATHER AND
CONSTIPATION

There is a close connection Between
hot weather and constipation. People
10 not seem TO understand this, ana
sven doctors are slow in comprehend
ng it,
Constipation depends mainly on dry
uess Of the bowels. During the hot
weather the fluids of the body are
Trained away in perspiration. Unless
considerable extra fhuid is drunk, the
internal organs are deprived of their
usual amount of fluid. The fluids
usually used by the bowels to keep the
contents moist, are absorbed into the
blood and evaporated on the surface OF
the body, TO cool the body during the
hot weather. Hence, constipation.
It's very unfortunate indeed, for any
one to be obliged to take drastic cathar-
tics to relieve constipation. OF course
drastic cuthartics Will clean out the
bowels, but the habit of constipation
remains just the same. Even little
worse.
If a mild and gentle stimulant OF the
bowels is used, combined with a tonic
that has the double effect of stimulating
the natural peristaltic action of the
bowels, as well as attracting to the
bowels the necessary portion of fluids,
If such a remedy could be devised it
would be of great value to the people
during the hot weather.
1t is believed that Peruna comes
nearer to being perfect remedy in this
particular than any other popular
household remedy. Taken according
to the directions Oh the bottle, it not
only increases the appetite and gives
strength to the nervous system, but il
produces a slight action of the bowels,
overcoming constipation without pro-
ducing a cathartic action.
We are in receipt of a great many let
ters confirming the statements made
above. One will suffice for illustration :
Mr.. William Eckert, 273 North Eight
zenith ST., Columbus, Ohio, writes:
at have been afflicted with chronic
constipation for twenty-five years.
"About six months ago l was feeling
badly, and concluded to use Peruna as
a tonic. To my surprise, before 1 had
finished the first bottle of Peruna /
noted that my bowels were moving
regularly, without any physic. From
that time to this my constipation has
disappeared. Peruna has not only built
me up, but it has cured me OF chronic
, constiuation."
