Mystery of Sleep.

Sleep, In which we spend about a
third Of our lives, continues to be one
of the mysteries Of biology, despite
the attempts Of scientists to find so
luton. DR.. Raphael Dubois Of Mar
settles, after prolonged series of ex.
periments on alternating animals, has
come to the conclusion that sleep Ia
due to entitoxin or poisoning by Ger.
tain waste products, which accumu
late In the brain, and are only got
rid Of by sleep. DR.. Claparede Of &c.
neva thinks that sleep is an instinct
devised for the protection Of the or.
ganism. 1t was DR.. Ramon Cajal
who formulated the neurotic theory,
according to which the neutrones or
pyramidal cells in the gray matter OF
the brain sink down and cease to ex.
cite each other during sleep.
But there are objections to these
theories, and all others that have been
advanced. 1t is a matter of absolute
knowledge that in sleep there is a
certain absence of blood in the
brain. Anything that lessons the sup.
ply of blood to the brain is likely to
induce sleep. For this reason, keep
ing the head cool and the feet warm
is recommended as one Of the best
means Of overcoming sleeplessness.
Absence Of light, noise and strong
odors help to produce the loss of con.
seriousness. which is the chief charac.
teristic of true sleep.

Gold, brown, deep red, purple, and

autumn garden.
While they bring a breath of sad

golden rod and the purple aster and
the black-eyed Susan is perhaps the
dearest of all to those who dwell

Why not have the sans beautiful
wild wood colors in our fall gardens?
Why not bring the harvest spirit into
your own life by growing the harvest
flowers about your home.
In the early autumn days, after the
riotous summer blooms have gone, we
can fill their places with cosmos, sal

shades of blue and PURPLE, great
blotches of warm colored marigolds,
calendulas in great many shades

MUCH BENEFIT BY SPRAYING
Reasons Why Lime-Sulphur 10 Best
Solution to Use on Apple Trees-
Study for Grower.

PIKE growing of apples IL an enor
nous Industry which is constantly az.
banding. This is due largely to the
fact that Of all fruit the apple is in
most steady demand, and Is a very re
liable crop. The profits on a we'll
conducted apple ranch or orchard are
fairly large. the labor entailed in car
ing for the trees and marketing the
crop Is not excessive, and there ia
scarcely any section of the country in
which some varieties of apples will
not thrive.
Spraying is the one operation above
every other which determines tho
market value of apples, and yet in
many instances it receives the least
attention Of all the orchard work. 40
cording to a Farm and Home expert
The matter Of spraying is one which
must be given careful attention and
study by each grower, for the reason
that the practice giving the very best
results in one section may be of in
different value in another.
For instance, the Ben Davis is SO
seriously russeted by application OF
bordeaux mixture that, as rule,
naturally fine fruit Of this variety will
be rendered second class II this spray
is used.
Lime-sulphur solution is apparently
as effective as bordeaux mixture in
the control of apple scab, and will
control leaf spot and other minor
troubles. In sections where spraying
for bitter rot is required the lime.
sulphur treatment for scab and leaf
spot could be followed by applica.
tons of bordeaux mixture for bitter
rot and apple blotch, as it has not yet
been determined that the lime-sul
phur spray will control these diseases.
Arsenate of lead is unouestionably the
poison to use with the lime-sulphur
mixtures.

SAUCE ] &c FOR b GI!|I.A I
tndulgent Husband Who Could
Not Resist a Practical Joke
s.. Taught a Lesson. :;:.-@s
Rv MRS. D. e. COOPER.


Bobson was a good citizen, IN in
dulgent husband, a boon companion;
but he positively could not resist q
practical joke.
His wife was indignant when he, on
their wedding day, notified her by
phone that he had broken a leg and
could not come to be married; and
when, as she was about to tearfully
dismiss the guests, he appeared, joun-
ty, unconcerned and whole, he never
knew-she was a woman OF spirit
how near she came to Diminishing him.
Then there was the time that he
pretended that his hister Dora and
her husband had been killed in a
railroad accident and that he and his
wife would have to rear the six chill
dren.
"Brutally COARSE" she called it.
Mrs. Bobson never laughed at her
husbands jokes not considering
them funny-and on one particularly
gloomy day in early spring, after a
shock that aggravated her almost past
endurance, she decided that he had
reached tho limit.
ITO Whom It May Concern: Par

Preparation of the Garden for
Next Year.

Here are few good plans to put
your garden in the best shape for next
years crops. After the various vege1
tables have ripened and the plants
died. the garden should be plowed. II
you are keeping chickens, it would
be well to harrow and SOW to vetch
or rape, either Of which will give you
q good crop Of green food for the
chickens. This can be planted Is late
as August Is. Sow it thickly and give
1t plenty of water. This crop will
make good green feed for the chick
ems until it gets too dry and then it
can be cured and made into a water
mash as needed. This makes a very
good substitute for the green feed
during winter months.
If you have no chickens, and there
fore have no USE for green feed, we
suggest that you plant the garden to
clover. Glover belongs to the legumin-
Gus class Of plants, which put nitrogen
back into the soil. Let this crop grow
until just before frost, then plow it
under. This will enrich the soil and
tighten 1t.
In any event, the garden should be
plowed in the fall, particularly where
the soil is heavy. This will permit
the frost to break up and decompose
the soil during the winter months,
making the plant foods more avail
able in the spring. Before planting,
the entire garden should be gone over
with disk harrow.
1t will be still better if you win
cover the ground with a fertilizer be-
fore blowing. There is nothing better
for this perhaps than good sod, which
accounts for better crops the first
year than later on. Stable manure Ia
good.
If the soil is very heavy and sour,
put lime on, In tho form of air s]aked
lime or ground raw lime stone.

Best Tree for PLANTING,

The two-year-old tree is probably
the best for commercial planting.
although one-yearolds are very popu-
lar with many large growers. The
former is a compromise age as the
two-year-old is less likely to have been
spoiled in the nursery than an older
tree, and it saves one year in the
orchard before bearing. II, however.
suitable two-year-old trees cannot b
secured. by all means use the younger
trees.
