Stricken with Paralysis.

On last Friday morning, j. q. Holmes
Of Lost Grove, suffered a stroke of par
aIysis. He left his home about half
past six o'clock to work in the Squirrel
mine in the town of Mifain. He was
riding alone in cutter, and when about
a quarter of a mile distant from his
home he was stricken and fell out of the
cutter on the snow, where he was found
by one of his neighbors about two hours
afterwards. He was taken to his home
and a physician from Linden was sum-
moned, who afterwards called in DR..
Bailey for consultation. Mr.. Holmes is
a member of George H. Legate Post,
and on Tuesday Comrades S. E. Shep
ard, Charles M. Cox, George Jeuck,
and James A. Hoare, went out to see
him, and found his condition to be very
precarious. His right side is partially
paralized, and he lies in a semi con
sciOus state.

Dangerous Sport.

A sport always INDUCED in by child
rem more or less, during the winter is
that of "catchin' on bobs." 1t is often
times a dangerous pastime. especially
when the street is crowded with teams.
Several accidents occurring in neigh
boring towns due to children carless
ness while engaged in this sport, have
been reported by our exchanges. Child
rem should be strictly cautioned by their
parents in the matter. An ounce of
prevention is very often worth a great
deal more than pound of cure. Who
can tell but the man who so cruelty
whips behind may sometimes be
doing the parents of the bob catching
children and the children themselves a
great favor.

GREAT OFFER IN A FARM
A Rich Bargain for the Fortunate
Purchaser
4 BIG BARGAIN.


There are many readers of the Demo
GRAFT so situated that they would do we'll
to buy a good farm at right price.
Are you one Of them? If you are let us
interest you: We are Offering a good,
rich farm Of 1913 acres, in an ideal lOca-
ton, at price that is sure to make the
fortunate purchaser a great deal of
money. That fortunate purchaser will
take the farm some of these winter
days and a good many others will see,
when it is too late, that they made a
great mistake in not availing themselves
of the opportunity.
We refer to the Frank Day farm in
Waldwick. It lies between two farms
which recently sold at 800 per acre. 1t
is good rich land and right at hand at a
good market. 1t has upon it one of the
best farm houses in Iowa county. The
price asked is only $66 per acre.
The rate of taxation in this assess
ment district is extremely low, and al
together the farm is very desirable
property.
You may say that farm lands are
now very much higher in price than
they were a few years ago. But farm
products are very much higher in pro-
portion and they will stay high and go
higher.
Look into this proposition It may
not be on the market only few weeks,
or perhaps a few days.

A GOOD SWEET CORN.

For several years l have been on
the hunt for a genuine sweet corn
that would meet the requirements
of hardness, extra earliness and
flavor. l think l have found it, and
whether a sport or the result of
breeding I do not know, for its his
tory is not known to me. Be this as
1t may, it has made good on all the
above points, and that under the most
trying conditions of all my experience
in corn growing. Under the poorest
of soil conditions and drouth that
cut my other varieties nearly one
half, this corn stood up without
fiinching and matured ears ready for
use in sixty-three days from planting.
1t is a true sweet corn, superior in
favor to any of the first early sorts
that I have found, and showed no
traces of smut so destructive to nearly
all extra early varieties.-J. L. Morse,

VINES FOR THE PORCH.

Some of the stronger growing

are woodbine (Ampelopsis quinque-

Thunbergiana) The trumpet vine is
liable to get into the joints Of the
house and force them apart, so you
can do as you wish about planting It.
1t has very pretty red trumpet-shaped
flowers. Other vines are Actinidia
arguta, with white flowers; bitter
sweet (Celastrus scandens), which
has beautiful clusters of orange COL
ored fruit; Clematis paniculata and
c. Virginiana are two very beautiful
vines, which produce a profusion Of
white flowers; Clematis Jackmani,
velvety purple with central tuft Of
pale green stamens; Akebia quinata,
which has chocolate-colored flowers,
and Wisteria Sinensis, having large,
pendent, cone-shaped clusters of pur-
pie, pea-shaped owers.-Indianapo

The Stern Moral Law.

We shall get it hammered into our
heads one of these days that this Is a
moral universe, not that it is going to
be, by and by, but that it is moral
now, moral all through, in tissue and
fiber, in grist!e and bone, in muscle
and brain, in sensation and thought;
and that no injustice fails to get its
recompense, now and here. The moral
law admonishes us not to make our
fellow man our tool, our tributary.
Thou shalt treat humanity"-it Is
Kant's great saying-"ever as an end,
never as a means to thine own sell
fish end" Disobey that law, and the
consequence fails, Evade it no man
ever does for so long as the winking
of an eyelid. It's penalty strikes him
with lightning stroke; he is instantly
degraded, beclouded, weakened by his
disobedience. Virtue has gone out
of him; the slow decay is at work BY
which manhood is despoiled.-Dr.

PEACHES BY DRY FARMING.

Elberta peaches the size of tea
cup are reported by John M. Howell,
of Parker County, Texas, who at
tributes his success as an orchardist
to the practice of dry farming meth
DDS. In an interview, Mr.. Howell
stated that his peach trees did not
have a drop of rain for three months
prior to the picking for the grape.
"Dry farming, or scientific soil cul-
ture," said Mr.. Howell, "will mean a
great deal for our agricultural inter-
ests, 1t is practiced successfully in
sections Of the country that have far
less rainfall than we have in Parker
County, and there is no question but
that it will do the work If the proper
methods are followed.
"On my orchard tract there has
been practically no rain for three
months. I broke the orchard land
between the trees in the spring with a
disc harrow. Since that time l have
cultivated the soil both ways with a
section harrow every week and the
result has been astonishing. There
is fine dust mulch four to five inches
deep over the ground and the trees
are growing as nicely as If there had
been plenty of rain. The fruit has
grown and matured without rain and
is now ripening into as perfect speci-
mems as any one could DESIRE"

Tungsten.

Little was heard about tungsten
Till the last year or so, when it began
to be successfully used as a filament
for electric lamps. The production
in this country in 1909 of tungsten
concentrates reckoned at 60 per cent
of tungstic trioXide was 1868 short
tons, valued at $746,13O, says the Geo
logical Survey, whose figures are
based upon returns received from pro-
ducers. OF this amount Boulder
county, Col, produced 1,4O1 tons, val.
ued at $5502S0. In 1908 the total
production was GIL short tons, valued
at s229,955, and there was therefore
an increase in 1909 of 1887 tons in
output and of s516,175 in value, or
about 200 per cent. The tonnage in
1909 is the largest yet recorded, and
the value of the product was exceeded
only by that of 1907, which was $500,
O4S. The average unit price for the
whole amount produced in the United
States in 1909 was $3.50. In the
early part of 1907 the price was $14
but 1t dropped to 80 and later to So

CARING FOR GRAPES.

The rules for grape culture from
the experiment station record, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
are:
The main points in grape culture
are summarized as follows:
With few exceptions grapes of the
Lubrusca species, Of which the Con-
cord may be taken as the type, are
the most satisfactory for general
planting.
A warm, rich, we'll drained soil is
best for the grape.
Almost all vines should be planted
at least eight feet apart.
Strong one-year-old vines are most
desirable for planting.
Thorough shallow cultivation is es-
sential.
The pruning of the first two years
must be done with reference to the
system under which the vine is to be
trained after it begins fruiting. Dur
ing this time the vine should become
thoroughly established.
The best time for the principal
pruning is soon. after the leaves drop
in autumn, but pruning can be done
at any time during the winter when
the vines are not frozen. Summer
pruning consists of pinching lateral
branches in order to encourage the
development of the fruit and the
bearing wood for the succeeding year.
The long arm, short spur system
of training is usually the most salts
factory for the inexperienced grower,
but the renewal systems are highly
recommended.
