Gumption On The Farm

Old earth is never late on its
rounds. 1t arrives on time be-
cause it keeps on moving. A
good example for all of us who
are engaged in scratching its SUR
tace for sustenance and shelter.
You can't overwork the harrow.
Be sure your wife will find you
out.
That weed right in the hill is
your worst enemy.
Don't let the weeds get start
kill 'em while they are a-born-
ing. Easiest way.
Too ofte nthe extravagant who
start out i'll the parlor-car come
back in the freight.
When you hoe corn, thin it out
to not more than three good stalks
to the hill. Nature doesn't like
to be crowded.
1t isn't the mark d; a good
teamster to get in off the road late
at night, nor to leave the horses
uncurried for two or three DAYS.
A cheerful spirit gets on quick,
A grumbler in the mud will stick.
1t is less work to hoe twice
soon after the crops come up than
1t is to hoe once after the weeds
get high, and it does much more
good.
Borrowing tools, and sending
them home dull or rusty, doesn't
make the other fellow grin. Bet
ter save up and buy your own.
Again we say: Test the seed
corn before planting, for there's
much poor seed in the country
this year. And, also, treat the
seed potatoes to prevent scab.

posts of your corn house, have

WomanIy Wisdom

With sudden tears and winsome
smile,
Wltching May doth now beguiIe,
Lilac blossoms scent the air;
Nernal winds blow soft and fair !,
Seed-time waits without the door,
Golden harvest lies before.
When in doubt, keep pegging
away.
Have pair of sleeves to slip
on over your dress sleeves when
you are doing housework. Saves
the dress.
Leftover asparagus makes an
excellent salad with dressing Of
oil, salt, pepper and a few drops
OF vinegar rubbed together.
Buttermilk will take yellow
stains out OF white goods. Let
them soak in it quite while, then
wash it all out and see how fine
the goods will look.
When buying carpet for stairs,
get an extra yard and turn in at
both ends. When it begins to
wear, it can be moved either up or
down to equalize the wear.
All stoves that are to be put
away for the summer, must be
cleaned inside and out, and rubbed
with linseed-oil. II, convenient,
wrap newspapers about them.
Do not tack down oil-cloth or
linoleum when it is first spread
over the floor. Let it be walked
on for several weeks or until it
has settled into place ard the
ridges are evened down.
Use the garden hose for riusing
blankets and rugs on the line.
Blankets dry without wrinkles,
Rugs should first be scrubbed
with ammonia and water. Use a
brush for that work then rinse.

A Charming Woman

is one who is lovely in face, form,
mind and temper. But it's hard
for woman to be charming with
out health. A weak, sickly wo-
man will be nervous and irritable.
Constipation and kidney poisons
show in pimples, blotches, skin
eruptions and a wretched com
pleXion. But Electric Bitters al
ways prove god-send to women
who want health, beauty and
friends. They regulate stomach,
liver and kidneys, purify the
blood; give strong, nerves, bright
eyes, pure breath, smooth, vel
vety skin, lovely complexion and
perfect health. Try them. SOC at

Hugh S. Fullerton, the baseball
expert, writes on base stealing in
the May American Magazine. He
includes the following interesting
statistics:
in the average seasons of the
two major leagues-the American
and the National-8o,I5o face the
pitchers. OF these 27,o58 reach
first base-Io,I54 Of them on safe
hits, 1903 on errors that permit
them to achieve the first 90 feet,
GAS by being hit by pitched balls
and $3.50 on bases on balls. These
figures are the averages of the
two leagues for five seasons. OF
the 27,o5S who reach first base,
1913 arrive at second, 1882 at
third and S,272 score.
yet the average number OF
stolen bases in the 1899 games Of
the two seasons of the major
leagues is 2,744. That is, out OF
55,o88 opportunities to steal
bases, only 2,744 are improved
One runner in 20 steal, base.
The figures appear to prove
that the pitchers and carc,;ers have

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Danserou,
For EIkton People To Neglect

The great danger OF kidney
troubles is that they get a firm
hold before the sufferer recog-

undermined, backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, drop
sy, diabetes and Bright's disease
follow in merciless succession.
Don't neglect your kidneys. Cure
the kidneys with the safe and re-
liable remedy, Doan,s Kidney

The Poultry Yard

Good, clean runs are delight
to the hens.
Sometimes litter gets so filthy
that it is worse than none.
Turkey eggs set this month
should give good salable carcass

Leave it to the old hen to pick
out the best nest to lay in. She
can do it better than you can.
Two sprinklings a week with
kerosene oil shotld keep the
house free from insect pests. But
be thorough.
Get the screens over the win
dows now, so that intruders will
not disturb your favorites while
they are asleep at night.
Are you troubled with crows
about your chicken yards? Cover
the pens with wire netting. That
will fool the thieves.

throw it upon the ground. Feed
it in a small trough or on a clean

In heavy-soil localities gapes
