When boiling fresh potatoes or peas
try a sprig of min. in the water. 1t

PROF. MUNYON'S PHILANTHROPY
Giving Ia the Nation n Prize That
Money Cannot Buy.


Money Cannot Buy.
II lcOuId rather preserve the health
o. IS nation than to be ats ruler. =
BuRyOn.
This motto, written by Prof. Munyon
about sixteen years ago, was the real
cornerstone of his medicine business.
He felt that the people of the nation
were neglecting their health owing to
lack of money. With the one thought
in view of helping humanity, he start
ed in the medicine business, paying
large sums of money TO eminent spe-
cialists for known and tried formulas
that were known to have been sue
cessful in curing diseases. After care
fully compromising these formulas and
putting them up in a marketable con-
dition, he offered them to the public
for a few pennies, easily within the
reach of the poorest family. He hired
eminent specialists at large salaries
and offered their services absolutely
free to the public to diagnose their
cases and advise them what remedies
to take. After giving the public all
these benefits he was still unsatlshed
and offered further to those who were
not in reach of the Offices which he
established throughout the country;
he advertised, asking them to write to
his specialists for free medical eX-
animation, and today Prof. Munyon
is still following out this policy. and
whenever he hears of a new drug or
a new formula that is more effective
than those that he is at the time COM
pounding, he purchases them regard
less of cost.
Prof. Munyon puts up separate
cure for almost every i'll, and these
remedies can be had at all druggists,
mostly % cents a bottle. In taking
these remedies, you are taking what
might be called a sure thing, for he
guarantees them to produce satisfac-
tory results Or he will refund your
money. This is remarkable man
and a remarkable institution, mani
testify fair to all, and firm that we do
not hesitate to recommend to our
readers.

A farmer of Morgan County, Ill.
found that he could save more than
half the usual amount of concrete in

by using defective vitrified brick
which he bought at the factory at 50
cents per load. Laying the brick on

The Profitable Dairy Cow.


Some people seem to keep and mix
cows simply because others keep them,
without any regard to whether the
cows are paying a profit. For a COW
TO be worth keeping she must pay a
profit on the feed and care given her.
For her to be really worth while, she
should produce 100 per cent more milk
than her feed costs, including pasture,
of course
1t does not matter so much what
breed COW belong to. Simply be-
cause she is of Jersey or Holstein
blood, is not positive proof that she Is
more than paying her way. COM
mon COW may be doing better than
she. The only way to find out what
she is doing is TO weigh and test her
milk at regular and frequent intervals.
Let her stand on her merits and not
on her ancestry.
One reason why some COWS do not
pay greater profit is that they are moi
fed all the nutritious feed they VIII
eat. This is especially the case with
many farmers in winter. when pas
lures are dead Many of them keep
their producing cows on half feed
when they are not on pasture, and still
expect the cows to make up the loss
II cow is worth keeping at all she IL
worth feeding all she can be induced
to eat. If it is not found profitable
to purchase extra feeds so that the
COWS may have all that they will con.
sumo. then it is best to keep only az
many cows as feed can be provided for
on the farm.
Make the COW produce all the milk
she can by good care and feed, and
do not let her go dry until the time
she is ready to turn dry. Keep the
best heifers from the best cows.-Jour-
nal Of Agriculture.

Orchard Cultivation.

Hoe the weeds and grass away from
the trees in the orchard, and while
you are hoeing the grass and weeds
away. dig down into it and stir the
soil for or 3 feet around the base of
each tree. Keeping the grass and
weeds away will destroy nesting places
for mice and prevent them from CIR
ding the trees. Digging into and turn
ing up some of the surface soil will
bring some insect pests 10 light to be
destroyed, and the stirring of the soil
around the base of the tree will dc
some good in the way of cultivation
A few minutes thus spent to each tree
may be the means of its bearing an
extra bushel of fruit this coming year
The more the orchard is cultivated
and worked with the more 1t will
bear. Intensive orchard cultivation is
imperative for the best results.-Jour-

Taft Takes d Hand.

1t now appears that much Of the
work done by botn Houses Of Con-
gress in preparing the tariff bill
Twill be nulIilied by the President
| of the United States. The House
of Representa- began consider
ation of the bill soon after it was
assembled III extraordinary session
following the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Taft. Under the rules Of the
house which curtaiI debates and
make the Speaker undisturbed au-
tocrat Of the situation, the parlia-
Imentary stages Of the measure in
| the lower branch of Congress were
sucessively passed with a minimum
lof delay.
As it passed BY the house, the
IbIH reached the Senate on April 10
and after having been referred 70
the committee on finance was re-
ported by Mr.. Aldrich on April 19.
From that time until July 8. it
was the subject Of exhaustive dis
cussion and was finally passed by
the senate in a radically changed
form on July s. It was then refer
red a conference committee
composed Of members of both
houses, and is now being further
changed by that body.
Now that it is in conference,
President Taft has awakened to
the demands of the country that
the pledges Of the Republican
party before the election last Mo-
Yember shall be fulfilled, and that
there shall be genuine revision
downward of the tariff rates. 1t
was stated Saturday that the Pres
ident would win his fight for free
or reduced rates on raw material,
and the members of the conference
committee had transferred to the
President all responsibility for the
reduction Of the rates.
The average man Of common
sense may wonder why all this was
not done to begin with. 1t does
indeed seem foolish that one branch
of Congress should have spent SO
much time and labor in the prepa-
ration of tariff bill only to see it
altered beyond recognition by the
other branch; and then. after both
of them have consumed months in
framing the measure, the Presi-
dent Of the United States at the
last indicates what shall be the es.
sential features Of the tariff bill.
But that is the way Of American
craftsmanship, and it is for this
purpose that we spend millions of
dollars in maintaining the legisla-
tive branch Of our National govern
ment. Magnolia Gazette.
