For the Dry Farmer.

The moisture supply for the
growth of plants in dry land agri-
culture comes from the natural
PRECIPITATION. The greater portion
of our rainfall comes during the
winter months. Plants are not
growing at this season and can
not make use of the moisture as it
comes. How best to hold and
conserve the winter precipitation
is the problem. 1t has been found
at the agricultural experiment sta
ton at Pullman that soil which is
in loose, open condition will
take in and hold from Is to % per
cent more moisture than one
which is in a hard, compact CON
dition. Soils which have been
thoroughly loosened up during
late summer and early fall, before
the rainy season, either by thorough
discing or fail blowing, give yields
of from five to ten bushels per
acre more than the same type of
soils that are allowed to go through
the winter untouched after harvest.
Discing to a depth of four or FIVE
inches as soon after harvest as
practicable, is just as efficient and
beneficial as fall blowing, and is
easier and more economically &C
complished. More of the winter
rainfall will be- held, run-off and
washing will be prevented and the
soil will be benefited, where the
stubbIe land has been given a
thorough discing during late sum
mer or early fall. Try it!-Wash-
ington Experiment Station.

RESTORE CRAY HAIR
/ TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hahn

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-hve, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with ''Sage Tea, which also restored
the natural color. =
One objection to using such prepar-
alton was the trouble of making 1t.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company or New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sui hur and other valuable RENE
dies for dandruff, itching scalp, and
thin, weak, falling hair.
/ The beauty of the hair depends more
. on its rich, even shading than anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded hair,
when a simple, harmless remedy Will
bring back the color in few days. and
don't be tormented with dandrutf, Itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
B Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty 70 your
hair.

THE AMERICAN DISEASE.
Indigestion, Chronic and Acute, and ths
Digestive Organs.

Digestive Organs.
Indigestion. phase Of dyspepsia
which has been called the American
disease, is very common. and its dis
agreeable symptoms are but too well
known. Chronic indigestion, or dys-
pepsia. is very prevalent. and in med
ical phrase an acute disease is opposed
TO chronic in the sense that while a
chronic disease runs a long time The
acute form is attended with severe
symptoms and is likely to come speed
lily to crisis.
Acute indigestion. therefore. is a con-
dition in which the digestive organs,
because they are either naturally weak
IT are worn out. overworked or tempo
rariy abused. fail to perform their
functions and the whole system is
thrown out OF gear" This may be
due primarily and directly to overeat-
ing or TO eating improper food, to gorg-
ing the stomach with inadequately
masticated food. to retarding its nor
NAL action with too much liquid or to
other local influences.
In cases of acute indigestion or dys-
pepSia there generally is intense pain,
often followed by sickness and yomit.
ing of the surplus or offensive matter
by which the stomach seeks TO correct
the effects of abuse and regain nor.

succeed. Other measures of relief also
fail. the machinery breaks down, and

We Import Them From All Over the
World and Also Export Them.
An item that seemed odd in the mani
fest of a steamer lately arrived from
Japanese and Chinese ports was this
in the list of her cargo from Tientsin:
Fifty-fve cases Of horse tails.
AS a matter Of fact, horse tails or
the hair thereof are a common article
of importation into this country from
China and from pretty much every
other country on earth. The American
market gets large quantities of them
from China. but more from Russia,
and horse tails are imported here from
every other European country and
from South America. from Australia,
from all round the world. On the 9TH
er hand. there are more or less Ameri-
can horse tails exported
From various causes the supply of
horse tails. like that of anything else,
may in one country and another vary
from year to year, and there may be
years when the worlds supply is short
and years when it is plentiful, with
corresponding changes in the range OF
| prices. Horse tails have sold as low
as 20 cents a pound, and they have sold
| for as much as 81. If stocks are scarce
and high IN London and ample at low
er prices here New York importers ship
horse tails to London. In the contrary
circumstances London importers might
| ship horse tails here.
Horsetail hairs are sorted for length
and colors, and they are used either
alone or mixed with other fibers in the
manufacture of various sorts of brush
es and mixed with other materials il
