Sinnlficance In Names.

In an Illinois town a workingman
having been informed that a sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex-
claimed: Sufficient" and his neigh
bors, referring to his having given
that name-Suficient-to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles a case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stork
brought a tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an oft
told story was a Chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head, she received the name, but for
suphonys sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was
called Marion.

VALUE OF PROPER DRAINAGE
Farmer Should Not Dodge Wet Spots
in Fleids-Few Dollars Will Make
Valuable Yields of Corn.
By PROF. E. r. JONES'

Wy MI. IL X. JONES.)
No farmer should dodge the wet
spots in his fields. A few dollars
spent in drainage will make these
spots yield valuable crops, and will
make the cultivation of the whole
field more convenient.
Don't wait for nature to drain the
wet lands without assistance. Ma
ture alone did not remove the stumps
and stones from the wooded. stony
lands.
Don't let the damaging water get
on to land, if it can be prevented. An
ounce of preventive is worth a pound
Of cure in drainage.
Don't think it takes a wizard to Law
tile properly. Have a survey made
sufficient in detail to show that there
is sufficient fall. An intelligent use of
this fall will then insure success.
Don't install part of a drainage
system to which the remainder of the
system cannot later be joined with
advantage.
Don't let the waste banks of bitches
grow up to weeds. Get them sodded
and make them both valuable and at
tractive.
Don't let outlet bitches remain idle
when they should be working Have
surface bitches and tile to keep them
busy.
Don't spend a dollar for small
bitches or tile on a marsh until an
outlet Is assured.

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM

Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands Of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture Of that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which is
no respecter of age, persons, SEX
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it is one Of the easiest af-
fictions Of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven 1t
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form Of urine. The
function Of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of sponge-like substance,
the holes Or pores of which will some.

shown that the mole effects detri-
mentally the interests of the farmer
and gardener Indeed, it can be prov
en- that quite the reverse is true.
When, however, the mole is charged
with disfiguring lawns and parks, de-
stroying flower beds, tearing up the
roots Of grasses and making himself
general nuisance in small garden
plots, he will have to plead guilty.
The diet Of moles consist almost
exclusively Of the various insects,
grubs and worms to be found in the
soil. The amount of vegetable sub
stance found in stomach examinations
is usually no more than might have
been taken in incidental to the inges-
ton of other food.
In the course of two years investi-
cations concerning the ways of the
mole, about 200 specimens were used.
From this number 100 were selected
so as to include some from each
month in the year, in an examination
of the contents Of their stomachs.
Following is a summary of table of
contents resulting from this examina-
ton:
White grubs, 81 stomachs; earth
worms, 40; beetles, 81; beetle larvae,
A; other larvae, 25; centipedes, 25;
ants, 10; wasps, Z; flies, 2; plant
fibers and rootlets, 43; seed pods or
husks, 8; crickets, 10; insect frag-
ments, 81; puparia, 81; cocoons, 10;
spiders, %; grasshoppers, 2; bugs. 8:
skin or grain of roots, 6; hair-worm, 1.
1t will be seen that a large item in
the stomach contents Of molds is made
up Of white grubs those scourges Of
grass and other valuable plant roots,
the table showing that nearly two
thirds of the moles had eaten white
grubs. One had performed the as
tonishing feat Of eating IT'S. another
70, and another IS. For his good
work in destroying grubs alone, there
fore, the mole deserves much credit.

HABITS OF THE LITTLE MOLE
Much Damage Attributed to Them is

CBy r. HI. SCHEFFER.)


Moles are built particularly for
their business-fore limbs and shout

and have q spade-like hand supplied
with claws making a capital digging
machine.
In observing a mole, when put on
the ground after being caught, 1t Will
Immediately plunge it's long snout in
the earth and give two or three fear
full strikes of forepaws, enough to
bury most Of his body-the hind feet
give comical kick in the air and the
mole gets out of sight with startling
quickness, and find him if you can.
The mole hills which we see are
not homes, but composed Of material
which is worked over in forming
temporary passages looking after
prey.
A moles only true home, fortress
or kingdom is located at distance
from the hunting grounds with which
communication is kept up.
A mole will consume the weight of
its body in a remarkably short time,
Snails and slugs it SEXES from behind
before they know a mole is after
them. Another wonderful thing is
how soon a mole will succumb without
food, as a 12-hours' fast will result in
death for the little animal and all of
its family.

The hook itself is of wood in two
pieces, dashed together by thongs OF
some kind of hide, with steel prong
dashed to the upper part Of the fork

mon steak is placed on the hook
prong, and the halibut comes along

driven into the lower jaw of the hall
but and the fish is caught. Halibut
weighing as high as 200 pounds have
been caught on these primitive hooks
The hook illustrated was brought to
St. Paul by Martin Kennedy. Jr., on
his return from his recent trip to
Alaska. One popularity that puts
this hook out Of the ordinary class OF
salmon and halibut hooks is that the
lower prong is carved in the shape OF
