LONG HOURS ARE NECESSARY
Reasons Why Some Are Compelled to
Work Many Hours in Order to
Make Living.
(Rv G II. ALFORDN


Many farmers claim that they can
not make living without working
about Is hours per day. That is true.
1t is necessary for them to cultivate
three acres of land in order to obtain
one bale OF cotton or 40 bushels of
corn. They have not removed the
stumps from their land and conse-
quently cannot use labor-saving farm
Implements 10 good advantage They
do not diversity their crops and raise
good stock and for this reason they
are exceedingly busy at one season
and idle at another season Of the
year. They are always behind time.
and as a result must make nine
stitches instead Of one. They do not
thoroughly prepare the land before
planting time; they do not select their
planting seed In the field in the fall;
they do not give their crops frequent
and shallow cultivation; they do not
use fertilizers in the most economical
manner. Such farmers are barely able
10 exist by working 10 hours per day.

Hand and Machine Milking.

Alternate hand and machine milking
was tried with two cows at the Ne
braska experiment station, but the re-
suits were not satisfactory. When
machine milking and hand milking are
carried on irregularly and interchange
ably the machine will not draw all
the milk, and, In consequence, more
strippings are obtained. In the case
OF hard mixers, the sphincter muscle
at the end of each teat was treated
with dilator until the milk could
easily be drawn by hand, yet the ma
chine was unable to remove the milk.
The teat cups and mouthpieces need
to be changed as the lactation period
advances.

CONFIDENCE
We Back up Our Statements with
Our Personal Reputation and
Money

We are positive that we can re-
'lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than
useless to attempt to cure constipa-
tion with cathartIc drugs. Cathar-
tics may do much harm. They
may cause reaction, irritate and
weaker, the bowels, and make constl-
patton more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. TO expect a
cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those parts and re-
store them to healthlear activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
cIple of our remedy involved the la
hor Of Skillful research chemists.
This remedy produces results such
as are expected from the best Of the
best-known intestinal tonics, and it
is particularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee They are
exceedingly pleasant to take and
are ideal for children. They appar-
emily act directly on the nerves and
muscles OF the bowels, having, it
would seem, a neutral action on
other organs or glands. They do
not purge or cause Inconvenience.
If they do not positively cure chron-

Good Roads Commandments

/. Thou shalt everlastlngly keep
at the good work and let nothing
discourage thee.
2. Tack thou a board over those
treacherous holes in bridges and
thereby save the bones of both thine
and thy neighbors valuable horses.
3. Thou shalt trim out all bush
and hcdgerows bordering the road,
that the sun and the wind of thy
creator may keep thine highways
dry, and the passers.by may not be
suAicated unto death.
A. The noble drag beng thy
handiest and most efficient weapon,
thou shalt WELD it twice a week at
thy very least. Blessed is the man
who useth the drag for his fellow
mans sake.
5. Thou shalt open all drain
bitches at the side of the road bor-
derng thy farm, lest the water col
lect in low places and form a mire
in which thou or thy neighbor may
get "stuck" whereupon the record
ing angel llsteneth with great pity
to wicked words and swapping of
the whip.
6. Fill thou those aggregating
and treacherous chucks in the track
of thine highways; for thou grittest
thy teeth in anger and thinkest
wicked sayings when thy vehicle
striketh them, And they do knock
the "stuffin" right out of thy buggy
and wagon wheels. Likewise do
they trouble aud injure the noble
horses.
7. If thy neighbor be shirker
and doeth not his full share of i'm
proving the roads, let not this put a
damper on enthuslasm; but rather
set a good example and show by
thy works that thou art truly an
honest ''booster" and rot a hanger
on. Then shall thy neighbor blush
with shame and feel constrained to
follow thy shining example.
8. When thy drivest to town
put thy spade In the buggy. If
thou comest to one of those ruts
which do cause thee or thy neighbol
to swear when passing over, fill ii
with a few spadefulls of DIRT. Thy
neighbor will bless thee for it, and
thou may save big repair bill on
thine vehicle. And the low places
at the bridges thou shalt treat in
like manner with the same good
effect.
8. If thou hast been guilty Ct
throwing brush or any kind of trash
into one Of those small drain bitches
along thy farm go thou straightway
and remove the obstruction. Or if
tiny nelghbor has committed a like
offense thou shalt intercede with
hlm till he also remove those him
drances and opens up the bitches.
For a road with bitches across it,
or down the main track, Is an abom.
ination and a curse in the sight of
every mortal who laboriously travels

.THIRTY-FIvE YEARS
IN SOLITARY Cell
POmerOy Concludes Another
Year as a Life Prisoner

Boston, Sept. 8.-Jesse Pomeroy,
serving a life sentence for murder,
has begun his thirty sixth year in
solitary confinement at the state
prison in Charlestown. Pomeroy has
served in solitary longer than any
other prisoner in this country.
While solitary Imprisonment" is
the name given to the punishment
Pomeroy is undergoing, it does not
mean that he never leaves his cell.
He goes out in the yard every day in
charge of a guard, and spends an hour
there while the other prisoners are at
work in the shops. His cell is in a
row of about twenty other cells, and
is similar to the others. But while
the other prisoners, when they are in
their cells in the daytime, have their
doors left open, Pomeroy's is always
closed whenever anyone, passes
through the corridor.
Since he entered state prison as a
boy of 16, Pomeroy has educated
himself from the books in the prison 6
large library. He has all the book
he wants and reads constantly.

A display which merits special
mention is that Of Richard Gibson
who has floral showing including
las species of wild flowers, ferns and
grasses. There are rs different
kinds of grasses and ten different
species of ferns. This collection oc-
cupies a conspicuous place and at
tracts more than passing attention.
H. j. Goodrich one of the local
hardware dealers, has a fine display
of Glenwood ranges while G. H. Goss
has an especially attractive showing
of the Sterling range.
The childrens department in
charge of Mrs. George Doty -of st
Johnsbury, is interesting and attrac-
tive. This is collection of draw
ings,, fancy work, fruit, flowers, etc.
The work is all done by children I'M
der IA years of age and reflects Gre
ditably upon ability and industry of
St. Johnsbury's coming generation.
Among the other exhibits is that
of Norman McLaan, the music deal
er, whose showing of pianos, phono-
graphs, sheet music and sewing ma
chimes is quite complete. F. b.
Jacques has a booth devoted to the
interest of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company. William Nc
Laughlin, as usual, is in charge of
the Bailey Music Store booth.
e. E. Grant of ST. Johnsbury Cen
ter has charge of floral hall and
while the displays were not all in
place until late Tuesday the average
promises to compare very favorably
with former years.
