HOW TO CURE PEA HAY.

Begin moving when thepeas turn
yellow in the pods. Now in the
mornings till noon; if possible, run a
tedder right after the mower to keep
the hay tossed up and hasten the
whiting. Rake into windrows that
afternoon. Next morning turn the
windrows with arake while the now
ers are running on other parts. That
afternoon put the hay into cocks as
narrow and tall as will stand we'll.
Then, as soon as you can take hand
full of the hay and twist it and can
wiring the sap to the twist, haul the
hay to the barn and let it settle with
it's own weight without tramping,
and then let it alone and it will cure
all right. If it heats some, let it heat.
II you go to stirring it to cool it.
you will let in germs of mold from
the air and will have moldy hay.
Now, l have cured it in this way
many years and never made any mol
dy hay, but had it come out with
sthe leaves on and green in color, and
far better fetd than the usual assort-
ment of sticks that many make by
letting the hay lie in the sun to
bleach and the leaves to get dry ana
crisp. In fact, l have found curing
peavine hay as easy as any other hay
ii you simply let it cure and DO not
monkey" with all sorts of sca1oldsa
and contrivances that merely dry the
hay and lose the leaves, the best part
of the hay.-W. F. Massey, In the
Progressive Farmer.

HOW TO GET RID OF THE FLIES

Try as you may, you can't get al
the flies. Even the most careful ant

many flies to risk having no screens

are as yet unwilling to take the pains
to remove the manure weekly ant

they will have these pests literally
by the thousands.
Now, there may frequently be some
good excuse for not hauling out the
manure. or not trapping or poison
ing the flies, but ignorance. Incidence
and poverty combined are not enough
to excuse q man for not screening

from the threads make the meshes

There Is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE UPLIFT IN
COTTON HANDLING.

1t is notorious that cotton has been
the most slovenly handled of all of
the agricultural products of the
United States. The farmers often
leave it exposed to be damaged by
rain and infiltrated by mud. Even
when offered for shipment it is
sometimes in this condition. All too
frequently it is loosely baled and in
adequately marked. 1t has been said
that upon receipt at foreign ports
bales of cotton look more like rag
bags. For many years the railways
have sought to have the cotton ship
pers exercise greater care, but the
railways in this country have no
such autocratic power as those of
Germany, where no shipment is ac-
cepted unless it is packed and mark
ed in accordance with rigid specifi-
cations. Government experts have
estimated that of the cotton crop of
the United States there is between
the gin and the spinner a wastage
and damage amounting to $50,000,-
600 per annum.
The Japanese several years ago
ruled that they would not accept cot
ton that was not clean, securely
packed and plainly marked. They
get what they want. The possibility
of losing the custom of a nation
makes a difference. The trans-Atlan-
tic lines who in recent years have
been mulcted in heavy damages be-
cause of the poor condition in which
cotton has been delivered to foreign
consignees have now taken action
that will re-enforce the efforts of the
railways. From September 1, 1912,
to March 81, 1913, on the average
one bale of cotton out of every six
offered at the South Atlantic and
Gulf ports was condemned; one bale
out of every ten was improperly
marked. Beginning July 1, 1913,
their requirements will be more
rigid; higher charges will be eXacted
for cotton loosely baled.
The railways in the cotton grow
ing regions are therefore redoubling
their efforts with cotton compressors,
cotton ginners, farmers and shippers.
When those concerned in cotton
growing and shipping find that shift
lessness reacts upon their pocket
books it is probable that better Or
der of things will come about. Not
only the money but the good will of
the foreign consumer is worth while,
especially in these times when he is
endeavoring to stimulate the growth
of cotton in other countries than in
the United States.

PLANS FOR RECONSTRUCTING
STATE ROADS MADE.
Repair Work Being Pushed-When
Proceeds of Bond Issue Are
Available There Will be no
Delay.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 26.-Esti-
mates and plans have been made by
the State Highway Department to
carry on the work of reconstructing,
repairing and maintaining the State
Highways and State aid roads for
two years under the appropriation
asked of the Legislature, everything
being worked out so that the i'm
provement of the roads of Pennsylva-
mia under the comprehensive system
devised by the Legislature of 1911
can be considered when the proceeds
of the bond issue of 100000 are
available.
AS rapidly as possible repair work
is being pushed, and every mile of
the main system has been gone over
and an immense amount of improve
ment undertaken on the state aid
roads. The departmental force is
completely organized and things are
being so conducted that when the
proceeds of the bond issue are avail
able there will be no delay in taking
up reconstruction. In many sections
of the State roads exist which can be
made to stand the wear and tear of
traffic for few years, but which ow-
ing to original construction must be
rebuilt at the end of that time if
they are to be economically main
tanned in the future. The general
plan of 1911 contemplated extensive
rebuilding to connect roads through
large agricultural sections, and for
the present this work will be carried
on as far as funds permit.
The advantages to accrue to the
whole state under the road improve
ments to be made possible by the
approval of the constitutional amend
ment authorizing the issuance OF
bonds are becoming widely recogniz-
ed, and movements in favor of the
amendment are being started. The
fact that long delays are liable to
ensue before reconstruction can be
undertaken if the present appropria-
ton system is followed is now ac-
cepted, and the plan of financing the
issue meets with favor. The cost OF
the issue will be distributed over a
long period Of years and will not be
burden upon the revenue.
The amendment will be submitted
in November and will be urged by
advocates of good roads all over the
State.

GENUINE ECZEMA REMEDY.
New Remedy That Heals Eczema
Quickly.

Peil, the druggist, has sold hund-
reds of jars of Hokara, and although
he offers to refund the purchase
price to any dissatisfied purchaser,
not one jar has been returned.
While this is surprising in itself,
yet the most marvellous thing is the
reports of chronic cases of eczema
that have been cured by this simple
skin food. People who have suffer
ed with scales, scabs and even bleed
ing itching have found relief in
Hokara.
No matter where the eczema, PIN
pies or other breaking out occurs,
whether on the face, hands, legs or
body, the application of Hokara
should give quick relief, and even
the worst or most chronic cases
should be cured in short time.
You can buy a liberal-sized jar to-
day at the very low price of 25c, and
with every package goes Peils guar
antee to refund the money if it is
not satisfactory.

the rites of the church in regular form
and with appropriate solemnity.
The exterior construction readily dis
closes the nature OF the mission for
which the car will be employed. The
name of the society is lettered in gold
the full length of the car, and the side
panel also discloees the name Of the
car and the coat of arms Of the society.
The light cathedral windows, with a
cross design in the center of each, and
the somber gray finish of the car dis
hnguish it from commercial vehicles.
A feature of the body is the folding
door construction and the ingeniously
installed drop platform which give ap-
proximately double the floor space to
the car when services are being held.
The sides Of the car open by means Of
folding doors, which cover the rear and
rear half of the sides and are ad-
justed to form the sanctuary walls.
In the center of the platform eXten-
sions Is set the handsome quarter saw
ed oak combination altar and vest
ment cabinet, with it's ornamented
brass accessories. Along the outer
edge of the platform are fitted de-
mountable brass standards, with heavy
silk cord guards. The floor of the en-
tire platform is covered with a deep
green brussels carpet, and O green
draped curtain hangs from the plat
form extension to the ground. En-
trance and exit are by an oak stair
way fianked by brushed brass stand
ards and brass chain guards, which
lead from the ground to the altar.
In the ecclesiastical equipment are
| included a folding confessional, a fold
ing organ, and a folding rack fitted
with large tubular bells for outside
use, and a small chime for use at the
altar.

space and contains lockers for the per-
sonal effects of two persons, lockers for
folding cots and bed clothes, drawers
for books, stationery, typewriter, cook
ing utensils, tableware and light sup
ply of provisions.
Another oak cabinet built in one side
of the interior of the car contains COM

Chime For Use at the Altar.
The motor propelled church is the
latest and most improved means of car
rytng religion into the wilderness. The
first one ever built in this country is
now being equipped for the Catholic
Church Extension society and will sup
plement the work being done by rail
road chapels.
The car was built by a well known
automobile company at an approximate
cost of $4,000 and will be used in those
sections of the southwest where the
members of churches are too widely
scattered on ranches and in settle
ments to attend a regular church 1t
will penetrate regions where railroads
do not at present enter. 1t will be in
charge of two priests and will carry all
the religious equipment commonly
found in a church.
The car is known as the Motor
Chapel st. Peter and was presented to
the extension society by a member Of
a western branch of the Woman's aux

time daily services and worship will
