 Gilbert-No, thank you. It's tho woods for mine this year.
 Alfred-Don't like the shore, eh?
 Gilbert-Oh, 1 like 1t we'll enough, but it's too risky. 1 passed my vaca- ton there last year and had several narrow escapes.

 Examine the bar to see that it is not bent. Often a slight bend in the bar is responsible for broken sickles and heavy draft without them being thought of. The blacksmith can straighten 1t for you. but the writer's experience with such work has not been wholly satisfactory. Unless the work has been carefully done the tenn per will be drawn from portions of the bar, and 1t will soon again get out of alignment. On the whole the cheaper way is to order new bar.
 The divider should be so adjusted that 1t will not catch on the ground when turning the corners or when backing to clear the oar of some ob- struction: and the main spring stiff enough so that 1t will helr the foot to lift the bar, but not stiff enough to make it jump when running.

Honey is the purest and the least harmful of sweets. The honey crop is clear gain. for no flowers need nee essarily be raised to pasture the bees. They aid in the fertilization of fruit trees and the smaller clovers,

SoIl for Fruit.

If the soil is very fertile or espe- cially rich in nitrogen, the wood pro. ducing functions tend to crowd out the fruit producing functions, or, if the soil is poor. fruit production is encouraged at the expense of wood production, and the vitality is affected. This may re suit is premature death.

 Breeders of range cattle have found that they can sell their young steers with greater ease and profit If they have been bred to type Thus the XII. cattle were once so uniform that one could cut 50 out of trail herd and they would be practically like any other 50 in the herd Those cattle were bred to type so long that buyers could know what they were getting.
 It should be the same with horses bred at old established horse ranches. If bred to type for gfew genera tions the horses would be so much alike that carloads would average about the same and matched teams would be common

Of grass certain lot of it's plants will grow and the rest will die soon after they have germinated.
 The ones that grow will not inter- fere with the other varieties and the yield will be increased.
 Practical experience has shown us that any soil will be more certain to yield larger and better crops of for. age and hay when it Is seeded with mixed grasses than when sown to clover and timothy alone
 Our t1ocks and herds will thrive better when fed on mixed grasses, (no matter whether in a green con- dition or cured for hay) than they will when fed on any one or two va- rieties sowed alone, no matter how nutritious these grasses may be.
 We will find 1t in every way as i'm, portant to balance our forage rations as it is the grain rations if we obtain the best results from minimum amount of feed.

Be Aired in Court.

The first case of its kind on record
IN that section of the country, at least
was started IL the district court at Bill

FLOODED Crow Indian of ST. Xavier. on
the Crow reservation near there, filed a
petition for divorce from his squaw, for
merly Miss Rock on the grounds of
extreme cruelty. In his complaint
Broken Arrow states that he and Miss
ROCK were married September Is. 1904
and that all went well until the fall of
OF 1906, when Rock suddenly ceased
TO love her brave and commenced ''sys-
tematlc course of cruel treatment" that
made life in their tepee almost unbear-
able The petition states further that in
october, 1905, Mrs. Broken Arrow"
struck her better half repeatedly, infict-

ty times, returning only when forced to
do so by the reservation officials. 1t is
specifically stated that on July 10 1909,
she bit him on the arm and head struck
him several times with belt, and in
Jured him greatly, the marks of which
injuries are still visible on his person.
In conclusion, Broken Arrow" states
that at all times since the fall of 1906
his squaW's conduct toward him has
been Of such a character as TO complete

mind and to defeat the purpose of their
marriage. The complaint is regularly

will they know he does it correctly when
the time comes for them to command
him. They will sleep in hammocks and

NOTES OF INTEREST.

The Fireman's Herald, a New York
publication, points TO a recent fire III
supposedly fire-pr0of apartment building
and declares that promised security
from fire cannot be guaranteed" EX-
pectation that the fire would be confined
to one room was not realized, because OF
the intense heat generated by the burn
ing Of the furniture and draperles. Inc
heat caused fire to break out on the
floor above. and communicate 1t success
lively to the other floors This has
drawn forth the remark that the control
and subjugation Of flames in any build
ing depends upon the combining Of the hre
to the room in which fire breaks out, by
closing the doors and windows and IN
peding combustion in that way. The ex-
perience has been that people will throw
up their windows In the excitement ana
rush from the rooms for help, leaving the
doors open. With neglect of this klnd,
due to mementary panic, there is ample
ground for the declaration that there
is no such thing as an absolutely fire
proof building"

Baby Wasted to a Skeleton.

my little son, when about a year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on hts
chest, worse than the others Then I
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
SO bad that | had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cut!-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment 1
sent to a drug store and got cake of
Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions At the
end CT two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores ,of
any kind since. l can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. 1 used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.

MOUNTAIN SICKNESS.

AT meeting of the Medical society of
Berlin, DIR. knoche gave on account Of
his experiences and observe tons in re-
gard to mountain sickness during his So
journ among the heights of the Cordil-
leras of Peru.
He suggests that the ideas acquired
from Alpine experiences in regard to the
pathology of mountain sickness are very
imperfect. la Peru and Bolivia attacks
known as "houna'' or ''sirroche" are as
cribed by the natives to certain condi-
tons other than simple altitude Mule
drivers avoid paths because they are
"haunted' by houna, and again certain
valleys are known for the frequent oc-

affected by the complaint In La Paz,
the capital Of Bolivia, certain streets are
known for the number of cases of this
malady which occur there.
SirrOcha consists in condition of
nervous excitation. 1t is not due to q
deficiency of oxygen, as it may occur after
a descent of 5000 meters. 1t does not APP
pear to depend upon muscular fatigue, as
it is especially liable to appear in tho
night and disappear during the day.
1t may be accompanied by hemor-
rhages, which may attain to a dangerous
degree. The author makes the interest
ing suggestion that the cause of this af-
lection may be of an electric nature, such
as electric discharges in the air. In sup
port of this hypothesis he points out that
the conditions favoring the accumulation

pose to the occurrence of this affection;

HOME FOR BIRDS.
Woman of Cincinnati Makes Ample |
Provision for One


Approximately $25O,OO0 of the estate
the largest realty owner in Cincinnati,
has been set aside by his widow, Mrs
Mary Emery, for the founding and per-
petuation OF a home for birds. Mrs Emery
has completed the purchase of a tract
Of land i'll EvanSWo0d place of about two
acres and has signiied her intention of
turning it over to the care of the de-
partment of biology in the University of
Cincinnati: This ground is to be built
up with different kinds of houses where
the feathery tribe can be sheltered 1t
will be made secure against the invasion
of cattle and small boys, and there will
be housed there possible 100 different
kinds of birds and their several species.
In addition to this there will be houses
for the birds of mixed nationality and
places where these may be studied in
their different classes and under different
conditions.
All the work of this gigantic bird
colony is to be done under the direction
of Assistant Prof. H. NJ Benedict of the
of Cincinnati. He says that this has
been for many years a kind of meeting
place fOc the birds of Cincinnati and
that thousands of them have gone there
to rest and to eat. He says he will ar
range a place where they can rest undis-

must study the best way to teach birds to
congregate and nest in the locality where
they are safe. The action of Mrs.

knowledge in the world and will have a
decided effect in aiding other communi-
ties. 1t will be known as The Mary

special delight in showing it to all the
people who care TO see it when it is
finally arranged" Mrs. Emery and her

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS AGITATED,
A Bill Before the New York Legislature
Evokes Vigorous Protest.

From ali sections of New York there
came to senator's and assemblymen at
Albany hundreds of letters protesting
against the passage Of the Wilkie bill,
which, 1T IS claimed, would so amend
the public health law as to prevent Chris
tan Science heaIerS from practicing
Scores Of petitions from Christian Sci
ence congregations as well as letters
from individual members declare that the
enactment of the bill would strike a vital
blow at Christian Science and destroy
in New York the very foundation of the
work inaugurated by Mary Baker G.
Eddy. The Senate made immediate
response to the protests. Mr.. Da-
Wis moved that the bill be referred to
the judiciary committee, instead OF the
public Health committee. 1T does not
matter from whence this bill comes or
where it goes" remarked Mr.. Bracket
during the ffteen-minute discussion
which ensued There are innumerable
clubs ready to be welded that will swat
it numerically" The bill was finally
sent to the judiciary committee. This, it
is believed, seals its fate. though a large
delegation from the Erie County Med
ical society will urge its passage
In explaining the bill Mr.. Wilkie said !:
This bill, given me by DR.. John H.
Grant, president Of the Erie County
Medical society, strikes from the present
law the words or the practice of the
religious tenet Of any church, and sub
stitutes a provision permitting members
of Jewish faith to practice tenet which
would have been precluded unless this
substitution were made
Mr.. Wilkie denies that the bill would
prevent Catholics from worshiping at
shrines or others from praying for de-
liverance from pain or sickness. saying
in this respect: ''This is a ridiculous
claim made by the Scientists and is alb
surd on its face"
