TO CHECK A
GENERAL DECLINE
in HEALTH
Is Often Difficult When There
Is No Apparent Cause.
In a Majority of Gases the Trouble
Is in the Blood and When It Is
Bolt 20 a Gore Follows.

A condition of i'll health in which there
is no specific disorder but in which the
patient continues to waste away for no
apparent reason, is battling one for the
physician to treat. Not every one is in q
position to take a sea voyage or trip to
the mountains and frequently this is all
that the practitioner can advise.
General debility is generally due to in
pure blood. Its causes are worry, over.
work, failure of the body to regain its
health after severe sickness, lack Of
nourishment from disortered digestion,
or some drain upon the body, all OF
which result in thinning the blood, pre-
venting it from carrying health and nour-
ishment to the tissues Of the body.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, which cured
the following case, are blood builder
and also nerve tonic, making them a
remedy especially adapted for such deIil-
itated and anamic conditions as existed
in the case of Mr.. John Keller, of 7tS
East Division street, Syracuse, N. Y.
He says:

have had no recurrence of the trouble
and have enjoyed good health ever since"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor anything
to cause drug habit. They do not act
on the bowels but they actually make
new blood and strengthen the nerves. If
you want good health you must have
good blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt OF price, 50 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

THE DAIRY cow.

The dairy COW does more than bring
tinancia! success to the dairy farmer.
She makes him better citizen than he
would otherwise be. Her influence upon
home conditions is a most pleasing con-
tribution to those factors which are re-
sponsible for the changed conditions
which prevail in the farm homes of to-
day. Thousands of these homes are now
characterized by comfort and happiness
where formerly they were bliphted nv
drudgery and unhappiness.
Better financial conditions have con.
tributed to this change. and the dairy

disposition, are influenced for good. As
they appreciate the financial benefit to
come from caring for her we'll they take
a deeper interest in her. In doing so
they unconsciously cultivate those quail
ties which make them better citizens.
The dairy cow-the prototype of mans
best friend-is welding greater influ-
ence than she is generally credited with.
She has always been found in the front
ranks in the march of civilization and no
agricultural country can long prosper
without her. She is potent factor in
the upbuilding of such a country, finan-
claily, and socially, and a wise people
will appreciate her and encourage the
industry of which she is the foundation.

What Alaskan Indians Smoke.

Seattle. Wash.-How would you en-
Joy a pipeful of wood shavings satur-
ated with q strong solution Of pepper
as an after dinner smoke? This Is
the strange substitute used for tobac-
co by Indians along the Alaska coast.
Their mouths are often made raw by
the practise. and the eyesight Of many
is affected by the strong fumes.
1t is no uncommon practise among
farmers to smoke the leaves of the to-
nIato and potato plants. While both
these plants contain a narcotic poison.
the smoking of leaves In moderation
Is harmless. Excessive use. though.
produces a heavy stupor. from which
he smoker awakes with a terrific
headache and a feeling OF utter ex.
haustion. Insanity and suicide have
often been caused by the immoderate
use of these two weed, Rbubsrb
beet and even garden sage leaves are
all smoked by farmers, but are per.
haps the least harmful OF substitutes
for tobacco.

a thousand tribes and the homage Of

All the imposing structures that
once gave Samarkand it's reputation as
the finest city in Asia have either dis
appeared or are in an advanced stage
of decay and d~ilapidation. They have
been almost entirely stripped of the

IRRIGATE IN GROWING SEASON
BY Proper Handling Of Water Farmer
May Draw From Lower Depths
for Plant Food.

While 1t Is true that the majority
OF field crops reach down into the soil
two or three feet and tap the plant
foods at these depths, yet the surface
Of the soil would still be deficient
were II not for the water which brings
the foods up from the lower depths
and distributes them evenly among
the roots. Thus by the proper ham
ding OF irrigation water we can draw
from the lower depths the fertility of
the soil, equally distributing 1t. fur
nishing a greater feeding ground for
the plant system and consequently a
stronger and better growth. writes
A.. Mcpherson in Ranch and Range.
Each farmer should study his soil,
know its depths and have some idea
of the plant foods therein.
To be able to irrigate intelligently,
a farmer should be possessed of these
facts. 1t is necessary that he should
know the depth of the soil in order
that he may know how long he should
irrigate or to what depth he may safe.
ly saturate his ground. Is more water
is forced into the soil than it has
power to assimilate, damage will re.
suit. Deep soil will stand more ate
than shallow soil, and shallow soil
requires more frequent irrigation I'M
der ordinary conditions. If l were
asked how long water should run on
a particular piece of ground | would
first want to know the depth of the
soil and also how long it would take
TO force the water to the required
depth. All the soil needs is just
enough water to moisten its particles
thoroughly. More than this quantity
of water would be detrimental and
damaging. To irrigate properly means
to supply the needed moisture at the
right time, to equally distribute the
plant food by reaching down into the
lower depths, dissolving the plant food
there and raising 1t up to within reach
of the plant roots.
This is accomplished by rain under
certain conditions. If we could have
a shower just when we needed one
it would be all right, but we cannot.
We have toe much water or too little,
as a rule-seldom if ever the right
amount. BY irrigation the water can
be forced downward to any depth,
thu increasing the area of the feed
ing ground for the plants. We might
have a dozen good rains during the
growing season. none OF which would
force the water downward beyond a
certain depth or tap additional strata
Of plant food and make 1t available.
One good irrigation would force the
water far beyond the depth reached
by the rains and bring upward a much
larger quantity of plant food. The
idea is to get as much out Of the soil
as possible, and the deeper the feed.
ing ground the more plentiful the food
and the better the corps.
This is why l believe that irriga.
ton fertilizes the soil better than rain
fall, for 1t draws the plant producing
qualities from greater depths and at
more opportune times. making crop
failure absolutely impossible. Further
more, the upper strata of the soil in
irrigated districts are not constantly
being robbed of more thar their share
of plant producing elements. being
constantly restored by the drain from
below.

Science and Cheese.

A medical authority kindly assures
us that Is long as cheese isn't de-
