A Charming Woman

is one who is lovely in face, form,
mind and temper. But it's hard
for a woman to be charming
without health. A weak, sickly
woman will be nervous and ir-

blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. But Elec-
trio Bitters always prove a god

beauty and friends. They reg

MONEY IN SEED GROWING.
Enormous Increase In Quantity Pros
duced For Commercial Purposes.

Enormous Increase In Quantity Pros
duced For Commercial Purposes.
According to Joseph A. Arnold of
the United States department of agri-
culture, there is profit in raising high
grade seed. Seed crops of sweet corn,
garden peas and beans of good quality
are in ever increasing demand. and
the quantity needed yearly has be-
come SO large that the scotsman is
obliged to have the major portion of
his stock grown for him by others.
Within the past few years there has
been an enormous. increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for COM
mercial purposes This has been due
in large measure to the development
of seed growing and handling as a
business. There are now nearly
thousand seed firms doing business in
the United States. One of the largest
of these uses buildings with an aggre-
gate door space of more than sixteen
acres. This space is much larger than
was occupied by the entire seed trade
of the country only fifty years ago.
The quality also has vastly improved.
One of the most encouraging devel-
opments in the growing of garden veg
etables is the increasing recognition Of
the practical Importance Of using pure
and uniform stocks of seed whose va
rietal characteristics adapt them to
distinct local conditions and market
requirements Another consideration
is the fact that the growing of seed
crops of these vegetables can be un-
| dertaken without any radical change
| in farm practice or material increase
in farm equipment. These conditions
make this industry well worth the at
tention of farmers who are located
where soil and climatic conditions are
| favorable for the best development Of
such seeds.
| However, the raising of these vege-
| tables for seed crops Is not recon-
mended for all circumstances even
when soil and climate are suitable.
The farmer who contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
to consider thoroughly the many ele-
ments which enter into profits Seeds
men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed at vefS low prices,
even lower than that at which grain
of the species can be sold on the mar
ket. Such condition might be due to
any of several causes, but usually
rests on an oversupply or a demand
for an inferior product. The general
tendency now. however, is decidedly
in the other direction, and both seed
dealers and seed growers can do much
by cooperation to further this tend
ency.

Where Temperance Has
Gained.
LEO.


perance interests would lead a SUI
perfcial observer to think thai
temperance is on the wane; but
when we take a larger survey,
say we take in about seventyfive
years back from this date, and
the gain of temperance will ap-
pear quite obvious. The gain has
been all along the line, not uni
form, indeed, but in a sort Of
zigzag line. Sometimes temper
ance seems lost to view, and the
army of drinkers has gained ev-
erything; but this is a delusion.
Temperance has gained all the
way down the three quarters of
a century.
r. How and where? It's chief
gain has been in the realm of
mind. The sentiment of men
and women in the matter has
been thoroughly revolutionized.
A little over seventy years ago
it was the common belief that
life depended very largely on
the intoxicating cup. Liquor
was the cup of blessing which
must be had at all social func-
tions. A funeral, a wedding, a
social party, a corn husking with
out whisky was not thought of.
Men could not endure toll with
out it. The harvest field was
made more endurable by a lib
\ eral supply of liquor, which the
farmer must furnish or lose his
reputation. The soldier could
not go onto the battlefield with
out something to drink. In all
the walks of life, private and So
cial, whisky was in general use.
The lawyer was inspired by it to
make his pleas; the orator loaded
himself for the rostrum; and
sometimes the preacher must
have his dram before entering
the pulpit to preach the eternal
verities.
All this has passed away under
the sway of temperance. It is
generally believed that all the
duties of life's activities a work
can be done much better without
the intoxicating cup than with
it. Even the common laborer
that wholly abstains from liquor
is held in higher esteem, and the
mechanic and railroad operator
are held to- be better employees
than the tippler. In fact, some
of the great railway kings dis
criminate in favor of the total
abstainer. On the harvest field
no whisky is seen. At a we'd
ding no liquor is passed around.
And even a funeral is conducted
without the intoxicating cup. Is
it not a great change? How
comes it about2 The temper
ance propaganda has gained in
the sentiment of mankind. Peo-
pie no longer believe that intoxi-
cants prolong ones life. They
may still drink, but not in the
conviction that beer OF wine OF
whisky minister to the happiness
of mankind.
