The sod cover for an orchard is a very convenient one at harvest time in the matter of cleanliness in the han ding of the fruit, but in most sections it is detrimental to the best growth of the trees and the development of the fruit. Much can be done for orchards ill scd that have not been doing well by merely breaking up this sod cover inc and giving clean cultivation. which makes possible better circulation of both moisture and air in the soil.

We saw a tobacco catalogue tho other day in which pretty good look ing saddle was offered as a premium! for 5000 tobacco tags. Since the tag run about five to the pound this offer means that a fellow would have tc chew up GOO pounds, four times hio own weight, to get the saddle, and this would cost him, at 90 cents q pound. $500. Considering the fact tha; the tobacco works physical and mental harm rather than good, it makes tho cost of the saddle bit high.

It was supposed at the time of tn" enactment of the Payne tariff bill that the eight cent duty which was placed on imported lemons would add that much to the returns of the lemon rrowers of the country, which. if thr reports are true. have not been flour ishing in an entirely satisfactory way. But this consummation is not to be, as the transconi mental roads have within few weeks raised the rate OH lemons, which will just about con- sume the s cents in question, lcav- ing the grower where he was before. with the public mucted what, it is al- legged. will be S10.OOO,OOO a year and this snug sum stuck into the cofferS of the transportation companies. Thus the lemon duty bids fair in very ear nest to be another demon" which was handed the dear people in the recently enacted and much cussed and discuss ed tariff bill. The lemon growers will undoubtedly contest the prospective rate increase. but it is hardly likely that their protest will avail them any fIinC.

Bulletin No. 1S0, issued a short timc ago by the Wisconsin experiment sta tion. places the annual loss to the farmers of the Badger State through the careless handling of manures 'at $200O0,000 This estimate is based on careful chemical analysis of farm manures and the loss in fertiliZing value incident to prevalent methods of handling.

One of the secrets of the careful fruit growers success in the famous. apple valleys of the west lies in the thinning of overloaded trees when the green fruit is the size of a hickory nut CT a little larger. It costs less to pick a green apple than ripe one and as a tree has capacity to bring only a given weight of fruit to proper maturity, the grower secures in increased size what he loses in number of apples, with tnH result that at harvest time he has ap- ples of much larger size and superior quality, and these two things mean an increased return.

4 walk through a field of standing corn and careful inspection of the ears will bring out the fact that the ears which are high up on the stalk arc not so far along and well matured as those which are waist or chest high. Thii should serve to give point to the suC- gestion that if early maturing seed is desired the low growing ears should bH selected. Another point in favor of the low ear is that it's early maturity makes possible a thorough drying of i; before the freezing weather comes on.

Where the poultry had free range the cost per dozen ran as low as s cents and from this figure up to 12 cents per dozen on limited range. He concludes from the data received that it is very difficult for a man to run an extensive poultry plant with hens confined and compete with the farmers in egg pro- duction.

was his belief that the best way to COM

him by a newspaper man who was famil-

had no faith in the efficacy of punish

To the erring and unfortunate he held
the hand OF brotherhood.

Our Immense Growth.

Statisticans who are eminently quail

United States census be taken next
year will show population o. between
90. 900. 600 and 95. 100000. They would
not be surprised if the figures ran as
high as 100000. 600. These estimates
are made from the census bureau fig
ures of the population of the United
States up to the last census of 1900, as
compared with the estimated popula-
tion of the larger cities of the United
States for 1903. While the census bu-
reau is not permitted to offer any such
advance estim Rtes.it officials rely i'm
plicitly upon the knowledge and abili-
ty of the statisticans who make these
estimates.

A United Democracy.

The result of the recent election
demonstrates that the Democracy of
Kentucky to be more thoroughly unit
ed than it has been for years. The
Legislature will be largely Democrat
ic,' which means that the redistricting
of the State will be determined along
other lines than those mapped out by
the Republicans. The Republicans
elected only one State Senator. Louis
vile has been redeemed. A number
OF counties heretofore regarded as IN.
alterably Republican notably Chris
tian, Muhlenburg, Hart, Greenup and
Grayson-haye gracefully wheeled into
the Democratic column. In Christian
county. for instance. a negro who has
filed the Office of Coroner for fifteen
years was showed under by majority
of 1852. Even some of the mountain
counties show splendid Democratic
gains. All of these things are conclu-
sive proof that a Democratic Governor
will be elected next time, and that the
State can for years to come be safely
counted for the Democracy. In the
recent past the State was Republican
solely by the help of disaffected Demo
Gratis. The discussions have passed

Democratic victories. Republican rule
in Kentucky has been disappointment
and damaging; and it will not continue

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

The child of today is the parent of
the future, and whether it grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence of its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. A baby that is digesting it's
food seldom cries and always looks cheer
full; the little child whose stomach is good
rompS and plays and never whines; the
growing child learns well at school and is
eager for fun if its head is clear and it's
no constipation.
The best and safest way to cure any
srregularity of the stomach and bowels
In children is by the use of DR.. CaldweIl's
Syrup Pepsin. This is a liquid laxative
wonderful in it's effect as Mrs. John w
Durham, Apple Greek, o., Mrs. H. L.
Cullam, P1ainville, Ind, and numerous
others can testify who give 1t to their
children with extraordinary results.
A bottle only costs so cents or 81 ac-
cording to the size you want, and even
one 50-cent bottle viii do a wonderful
amount Of good in family. 1t can be
given to any member of the family in
constipation, sour stomach, Indigestion,
torpid liver, dyspepsia, heartburn, sick
headache and similar digestive troubles.
It never gripes or strangles like pills,
tablets, salts and powders, which should
folks.
II you have a child or other member of
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, send your name
and address to the doctor and free trial
bottle will be sent to your home. In this
way you can find out what It will do
without personal expense.
