A MACHINE THAT SAVES.

Manure Spreader Is Conservator of
 the Farmers Time and Money.
 Any machine that saves time is well comed in commercial house or bank
 Any business man will listen to a proposition to buy an appliance that saves time, as time Is money, because help costs money. If the machine makes work lighter, does it better than the old way, there is double argu- ment for owning it. The manure spreader does for the farmer what the letterpress accomplishes for the mer- chant, and still 1t is not properly ap- preciated, says the American Culti- vator. A little gumption is required to learn to operate one, and many who own spreaders have not given sufficient patience to acquiring the knack of run ming them so that they are we'll liked and used as much as should be the case. Most persons have never con- sidered the saving made by this ma chine. It will distribute load of ma nure, coarse or fine, in three to five minutes. Where are the two men who

 ed box with a perforated wooden float almost as large as the inside dimen- sions of the box, which in use is set in a super. For convenience in han ding the feeder should be about two inches shorter in front, one-half inch at the back and three-quarters inch at each side than the super's inside meas urements, and the front should be partly cut away, as shown. In use the super may be set below the brood chamber with, say, twenty or twenty five pounds of sirup in the feeder. This amount will be taken up by a strong colony in about two days. It Is essential that paraffin be used free ly around the crack to prevent leaking. American Agriculturist.

A Victim of Leprosy,

"On my travels in Venezuela" said a New York man, 'T stayed In a hotel with a young man in whose family there was the taint of leprosy, though he apparently did not have 1t. One night sitting at dinner he became an- gry at a waiter and brought his hand down on the table with full force. He instantly realized that he did not feel the blow and sat looking at his hand, his face whitening with horror. Give me your knife, Bob,' he said to his chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in a frenzy and stabbed the side of his hand with vicious cuts from finger tip to wrist. You may not know that lep- rosy appears in the side of the hand, numbness being a sign. The man did not feel the cuts. He arose from the table, knocking over his chair, rushed out into the courtyard of the hotel, and we heard the quick tang of revolver shot, telling us how he had conquered the leper's curse by ending his life."- New York Times.

He Could Wield an AK,

The skill of the old Maine shipbuild- CTS in the use of the adz and broadax was wonderful. One old time yarn is of carpenter who applied very drunk at shipyard for employment. In or der to have a little fun with him the foreman set him to give proof of his skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with no chopping block but a stone. The carpenter accomplished his difficult task without marring the keen edge of the broadax and showed the foreman neatly made bolt. Then he brought the ax down with a terrific blow that shattered its edge upon the stone. "l can hew fust rate on your chopping block" he hiccoughed, "but I'll be blamed if can make the ax stick in it when git through" The story runs that the foreman lost no time in em- ploying such a workman.

HUNS FROM THE HIVE.

Every beekeeper needs one or more books on bee culture.
 Look we'll after your bees and don't let them swarm if you expect to get any honey.
 Don't wait until your bees get to swarming to order hives. It's better to keep them from swarming.
 Hives should always stand level side wise when comb building is being done so the combs will come down even with the bottom bar of the frame.
 Bees like to work better probably than any other living thing. There is room for a few hives of bees on every farm. Fruit, poultry and bees make a splendid combination.
 Every beginner should paste label on the front of each stand, wholly for his own benefit, which should read: "Leave this hive alone. Nothing will more disturb a swarm of bees and in- terfere with the economy of the hive than to be constantly opening 1t and lifting out the frames"
 A smoker lying on its side will not consume as much fuel as when stand ing upright. Therefore when you do not expect to use it for several min utes lay 1t down. If the wind is blow ing you will save fuel and the time necessary to replenish 1t by laying 1t down and placing box or hive body and cover over 1t.

can do this? In many instances 1t may be set where the stables may be cleaned directly into it, thus saEing one handling of the heavy, disagree able stuff and the time required.
 Under these conditions the daily spreading and closer conservation of this valuable matter are made habit, which in itself is an inestinaable ac- quisition. The saving in .manurial val ues is estimated at fully one-third the total amount made where drops and absorbents are employed, as they should be on every farm. This amounts to at least $5 per cow per year. All other farm machines are used only four to six weeks in year, while the spreader is paying for itself the year round. The boy who is not strong enough to spread manure in the old way may easily put on the horses and by the use of the machine do this heavy work before going to school in the morning, and he can do it better than the strongest man with a fork. Then there is the advantage of having the fertilizer spread fine as we'll as evenly. The farmer who doesn't own and use manure spreader is behind the times and is in losing race.

USEFUL SUMMER SPRAY.
Effective at Same Time Against Plant Diseases and Injurious Insects.

Effective at Same Time Against Plant
 Diseases and Injurious Insects.
 Fruit growers are desirous of using one spray that will be effective against both plant diseases and injurious in- sects so that all can be dealt with at the same time. The department of en- tomology of the University of Kansas, therefore, recommends the following: Lime, six pounds; sulphur, four pounds. Boil together in a kettle of water for an hour. Strain this into a barrel of water and add two pounds of arsenate of lead. .t..s
 It should be applied now to peaches to control the rot and to apple trees to prevent wormy apples and to secure smooth, symmetrical fruit instead of fruit disfigured by the scab. This Is also an excellent spray against insects which affect the potato. For fruit trees begin spraying as the blossoms fall, then once each month until fruit has begun to ripen.

"The Fool and His Pipe."

The surest test of atrophy of the think tank is to see a man light a corncob pipe in the haymow. This indicates brain expansion that would make a bullock shed tears. Many a man has had bright red barn with twelve foot posts laid low in the dust because some fathead with the intel lectual reach of flank steak mistook the haymow for buffet diner. The man who retreats to the classic con- fines of box stall to experiment with "the makin's" ought to be cured of the tobacco habit by being kicked in the epiglottis by blind mule.-Kimbalp Dairy Farmer.

BEAN CULTU.

Instructions For Growing of Vegetable
 For Use During Green State.
 These cultural instructions pertain to the growing of beans for use during the green state or for snap shorts, as 1t is generally known, says the Iowa Homestead.
 It is an old saying that land which will not grow any other crop may be planted to beans. However, this Is a great mistake, for in order to grow a good crop of beans the soil must be fairly rich or you will have a poor crop. Beans will come into bearing earlier on light, sandy soil, but larger crops and pods of better quality can be grown on heavier soils, only they will be a little later in coming into bearing. This point should be given consideration when planting for mar ket, as the early crops always bring the best prices.
 Beans are very tender and should not be planted until the ground is quite warm or the seed may decay in the ground. Planting should be done about the time corn is planted or lit tie later for main crop.
 Plant in rows eighteen inches apart, having the seed In drills every four inches or in hills about one foot apart in the rows. Cover the seed about two inches deep. The writer prefers plant ing in hills, as they are easier to hoe and keep clean from weeds. AS soon as the plants are up commence to stir the soil, and give frequent but shal- low cultivations until the blossoms ap- pear. After that all cultivation should cease, as the blossoms are very easily knocked off, and of course this would greatly diminish the crop of pods.
 Do not work among your beans when they are wet from rain or dew if the soil is so dry that dust rises, as that would cause the leaves to rust, which often ruins the crop. For a constant supply of fresh, tender pods make successional paintings until the middle of July. .a
 Keeping all pods picked while young and tender will greatly prolong the bearing season. Great improvements have been made in beans during re- cent years, and varieties have been produced which are absolutely free from strings and tough fiber. All though seed of these improved varie- ties costs more than the common sorts, you will be we'll repaid in the finer quality of the pods produced.

"A Boston woman," said an author, asked Lowell to write in her auto graph album, and the poet, complying, wrote the line:
 "'What is so rare as a day in JuneY
 Calling at this woman's house a few days later, Lowell idly turned the pages of the album until he came to his own autograph. Beneath 1t was written in a childish scrawl:

Clean as a Whistle.

The origin of the saying "As clean as whistle" is ascribed to the "whis- tie tankard" of olden times, in which the whistle came into play when the tankard was emptied or cleared out to announce to the waiter that more liquor was required.

BROTHERHOOD MEETING
Regular Moqthly Meeting viii BE Held
This Evening at the Preshy-
terrain Church.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Mems Brotherhood of the First Pres
byterian church will be held this even
will serve one of their famous dainty
dinners and the members OF the
brotherhood will transact the neces-
sary business OF the organization.
Professor Ladd will preside at the
function this evening.
Owing to the great increase in the
Sunday school of the Presbyterian
church it is expected that something
definitely will be done by the brother
hood to care for the growing school.
The front part OF the basement has
never been fitted up for Sunday school
purposes and it is probable that the
mems organization OF the church will
take steps to fit this part Of the
church up for Sunday school use.
The first Sunday of this month there
was an increase of 161 members in the
Sunday school over the corresponding
Sunday of last year. During the month
of July, August and September there
was an increase Of 977 members and
last Sunday there was an increase of
lis members over the corresponding
Sunday of the previous year. The
rapid growth of the schools make II
necessary TO prepare adequate room
for the new scholars and the members
of the brotherhood will discuss this at
some length this evening.

worth the effort made to keep going.
"A good friend advised me to use
Peruna and was glad to try anything,
and I am very pleased to say that six
bottles made new woman of me and

bright again
There are a great many phases of
Woman's ailments that require the as
sistance of the surgeon.
But by far the greatest number of
such cases are amenable to correct
medicinal treatment.
A vast multitude of women have been
relieved from the ailments peculiar to
their sex through the use of Peruna.
Our Medical Department receives
many letters from all parts of the
country relating to subjects of vital
interest to womankind.
OF the vast multitude of women who
take Peruna only very small percen-
tage consider 1t necessary to write us
on the subject.
While it is not affirmed that Peruna
will relieve every case of this kind, it
is certainly the part of wisdom for
every woman so afflicted to give Pc
runa fair trial.

A GOOD ROADS SERENE
Oklahoma Has Started Fine System for
Improvement of States Public
Highways.

oklahoma is about the youngest of
states. but it is going to have one Of
the best road systems in the union.
w. S. Hawkins, the states highway
engineer, recently told the National
Good Roads convention of the plans,
AS the prison labor of the state can
not, under the state law, be used to
compete with free labor, it is to be
used to make good roads. Said Mr..
Hawkins:
THE Improvement and building of
public highways was begun only last
July, but in that short time a plan
has been inaugurated which, when un-
der active operation, win give to this
state a system of state and county
highways that will not be surpassed.
I'VE are now building a state high
way from McAlester in, Pittsburg
county to Claremore in Rogers county,
ninety eight miles. This road will di-
vide the territory lying between Mus
kogee. and Tulsa on the west about
equally. We have been assured that
these counties will build roads of the
same character from these towns to
the state road. This is a fine start
for system. BY an east and west
road we can connect up other such sys-
TENS, or what could be termed dis
.tricts.
THE counties through which the
roads pass are to furnish materials,
such as steel and cement, and the state
is to furnish the labor. Small local
benefit assessments will also be Hvied
to obtain what other moneys are
needed.
