The Chicago wheat market
took another tumble this week.
Last week, September wheat was
selling around $1.09 or better.
On Thursday of this week, Sep
TENDER dropped to $1.O04 while
December delivery went down
to 99s. This is the lowest price
reached for several months past.
Favorable weather conditions in
Canada as we'll as in this country,
together with the passing of the
black rust scare in North Dakota
is said to be the cause of the
slump in price.

Sure Enough!

It's too hot to work,
And too hot to play;
It's too hot to go,
And too hot to stay.
It's too hot to die,
And too hot to live;
Too hot to receive,
And too hot to give.
It's too hot to sell,
And too hot to buy;
It's too hot to ride,
And too hot to fly.
It's too hot to weep,
And too hot to wish;
But just about right
To lay off and fish.

Hints Of the Farm.

No place on the farm is toe
good for the garden.
Good seed on poor soil is max
ing poor use of a good thing.
Have tomatoes, radishes and
summer squashes in abundance.
Don't be afraid Of putting too
much manure on the garden
ground.
Butter unfit for table use can
hardly be regarded as fit for
cooking.
The radish is one of the favor
lite vegetables, and it is one OF
rather easy cultivation.
The best place to start with a
farm garden is on the most pro-
ductive spot of ground on the
farm.
Dust the climbing roses with
sulphur early in the morning,
while the dew is on, to prevent
mildew.
A hard crust over the soil pre-
vents the rain and heat from en-
tering. Always keep the sur
face Of the soil loose.
If the bean poles are short and
the vines are pinched off when
they reach the top the beans
will mature earlier.
If the cabbage root maggot is
at work fit a piece of tarred pa
per close about the base of the
plants. 1t will help.
The radishes are divided into
two classes, by their season,
summer or winter, and are oil
many shapes and color.
1t is not possible to make the
farm gardening too intensive
The richer the ground the ten
derer and better the vegetables.

The limit of production of an
acre of land is measured as much
by the capacity of the man who
tills it as by the capacity of the
soil itself to produce a large crop.
There are few farmers who till
one-half acre of soil in a manner
that will produce the best and
most profitable returns. AS a
rule the average farmer has a
vague idea of the value of tillage
and proper fertilization. Through
the feeding Of the plants a sol
may be rich or poor, just as the
farmer plans his rotation anC
cropping systems.

Liver Trouble
Remedy Free

Any intelligent person can be mis-
own doctor in the ordinary case OF
liver trouble, for the symptoms can
not be mistaken. If the white of the
eye becomes yellowish, if the skin be
comes sallow, if pimples and blotches
appear, if the bowels do not move, If
you have sick headache, if you are
bilious, you may be sure that your
liver is torpid or inactive.
The quickest and surest remedy yet
found for the cure of liver trouble or any
of its symptoms is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, the great herb laxative compound.
This wonderful remedy is not only laxa-
tive, but tonic as well. It will start
the flow of gastric juice, thereby soon
enabling the liver to do its work natur-
ally. A bottle ofnthis great liver remedy
can be bought of any druggist for so
bottle has cured a chronic case.
For example, John w. Lee. 619 s. Penn
sylvania ave., Indianapolis Ind, had a
stubborn and very long standing case OF
liver trouble. with pimples, blotches,
jaundice, ETC.. and it cured him.. Mrs. y.
F1inchum, Jackson, KY, says the same
Of it. Thousands of families keep it in
the house against just such an emer-
member of the family will need good
laxative.
In order to have you or any other suf-
ferer from the liver make a test of DR.:
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin without personal
expense, DR.. Caldwell will send you free
and address. The sample will show you
how pleasant it is to take, how gently 1t
works. 1t will start you on the cure OF
your trouble and convince you that you
the sample, and the doctor urges you to
send for it today.

Having gotten one, the Frenchman put
It to practical use.
The sale of bicycles has steadily In
creased, especially in the country.
In France the bicycle is not as II
was in many American cities, a toy
and fad for a time. The roads are
30 uniformly good and smooth that ev'
cry man and boy has a wheel. Every
servant has a wheel. Millinery, cloth,
ing, shoe and dry goods shops all
have little carts or vans, covered and
closed, mounted on tricycles. 1.-THE
boy behind the cart" pushes 1t through
the streets like lightning and the
tradesman saves money.
Suppose you buy a hat downtown
and ask to have 1t delivered as soon
as possible. You take a cab and start
for home. Before you get there your
hat has been delivered, and If you vii
Inquire you will find that a boy on a
wheel brought It.
In Chicago the work would be done
by a pair Of horses and big covered
wagon, and yet the boy with his little
bicycle cart can take out a dozen or
more hats, and that probably Ia as
many as your big wagon takes on an
average.
