a Corner in Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that In 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the eyclus-
i've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for II years.
A year later, however, a factory was
started in Providence, r. l., and with
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings a
pound. In those days $1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as it is now.

Doctors Said He Would Die
Friends Advice Saves Life

I wish to speak of the wonderful cure
that 7 nave received from your noted
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and blad-
der cure. Last summer / was taken with
severe pains in my back and sides. I
could not breathe without difficulty and
was nearly wild with the desire to ~urinate.
Was compelled to do SO every ten min
utes with the passage of pure blood with
the urine. l tried all the different doe
tors from far and near, but they said it
was no use to doctor as l would die any
way. I was at the end of my rope and
was SO miserable with pain and the
thought that l must die that words can
not tell how I felt. One day a friend told
me of the wonderful help she had received
from DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave
me one of your pamphlets which l read
and determined to try Swamp,Root. After
taking half a bottle l felt better. Have
now taken ten bottles and am well as l
ever was, thanks to Swamp-Rcot. l wish
to tell all suffering people that have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble, that DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root is the best medicine on
the market.
All persons doubling this statement can
write to me and l will answer them di-
rectly, Yours very truly.

grNOTES

Lima Beans do not require a very
rich soil and are easily grown.
We can save a lot of time and work
next summer by carefully planning
now.
Going to raise a third crop Of corn
on the same land next year? Great
mistake.
Protect the pastures, which should
be a feature of considerable import
ance on any farm.
1t is a very easy matter to protect
the pastures il the sod Is lot per-
mitted to become thin.
Great fun chopping down the use
less live trees and chopping the dead
ones on the ground.
The woodpile ought to be growing
! daily now. Saving wood in he sum-
mer time is a tough and useless job.
Any backyard 40x50 feet with de-
CEN soil can be made to yield enough
summer vegetables to supply a tam
lily of six.
Feed cattle all you can afford to
during the time they are at pasture.
az that helps t keep the pastures In
good condition.
II your neighbor casts q longing eye
or your best brood mare be sure she
| ia worth as much to you as to him
and hang on to her.
Taking one year with another. on
ions will prove q most profitable crop.
They are in demand in the markets
every month in the year.
Poultry house is a wonder
ful thing for the garden, but 1t should
not be applied In the hill. or It will
burn the roots Of the plants.
The time to clean seed wheat Is In
tho winter. We will have time to do
a better job then than the day before
we commence sowing in he spring.
Some men have the idea that q man
can make a good hand on the farm
n he is big, husky and active without
having learned the business, but 1t is
a great mistake.
When the pastures get short in the
summer feed some oil meal, besides
some green food, such as corn stalks.
The meal especially benefits the pas
lures in the droppings of cattle.
Celery must have deep, mellow and
very rich soil. 1t Is useless to buy
plants and spend money and time in
planting and working the crop unless
the arst conditions are fully met.

There arc men who so through life
without ever getting what one would

never get to know what it means to

in every success-the struggle; days
when everything looks as though one
is about done for and ready to cave in.

HANDY IMPLEMENT ON ROADS
May ae Considered Distinct Improve
ment Over Split Log Drag and ~
karrow-Usefu. on Farm.

We recently visited a model farm
and one of the most attractive fea-
lures about II was the condition In
which the roads, both on the farm and
the adjacent highway, were kept by
use of the split-log drag. This IL a
matter of real economy, az we'll az OF
good looks. A visit to another farm
showed a modified device WHICH we
had never seen used elsewhere, and
which is the invention of the owner
1t is so effective that a drawing Of it
is shown herewith. 1t is really a COM
bination of harrow and split log drag.
The harrow teeth are attached In such
a manner thai they can be let down
and the implement used as a harrow
only, or the teeth can be raised and
the implement used as a drag only.
II the teeth are set level with the DOT
tom of the drag, it forms an excellent
ciod crusher, and it's weight is such
that it a be nicely handled with an
ordinary farm team. There are GER
tain roads which require a good deal
OF whipping into shape before they be-
come good dirt roads. This work can
be done by a split log drag if time is
taken for it, says the Kansas Farmer.
1t can be done more readily by the
combination implement illustrated
herewith, as will be shown or a trial.
AS this implement has a value in
the field that is eQualled by that or
the road, it may be considered a els
