EARTH WORM OF MUCH VALUE
Humble Assistant of Aqriculturist
Has Not Hitherto Been Given the
Credit It Deserves.

That the earth worm has some pur-
pose in life, aside from acting as fish
bait, chicken feed or even being man
gled in the interests of science, is
now admitted by the observers who
have been studying him in his rela-
tons to the world. They discover
that he is drain digger and practical
lighting engineer.
At any rate it is now definitely es-
tablished that his holes in damp soil
materially assist in carrying off the
surplus moisture and admit light, two
things which 60 far towards making
that soil productive for the farmer.
Furthermore. In digging these holes
the earth worm brings the dirt to
the surface in a finely pulverized con-
dition. 1t is rich loan and thus pre-
pared is extremely fertile.
OF course single worm is incap-
able Of depositing a considerable
amount of such soil. but, as there
are $4,000 of them to an acre OF
ground, the scientist figures that the

ton amounts to so pounds for every
acre which they inhabit. This scat
tered over the leaves and mold al
ready there has a distinct fertilizing
value, which, in conjunction with the
effect OF light and drainage already
noted, would seem to entitIe the earth
worm to a respect which he has not
hitherto enjoyed.

The Winner.

a benevolent old lady in one of the
streets which still retain the red
brick houses of old-time New York
looked out of her parlor window one
day and saw man walking up and
down the sidewalk, apparently in great
detection. There was something pa
thetic and appealing in his manner:
so she took a dollar bill, put it in an
envelope and wrote on the envelope.
Never say die"
She slipped out of the house in the
most casual manner she could assume
and handed the envelope to the man
as she passed him.
Next day the same melancholy man
called at her house and presented her
with ten dollars.
It's funny" he said, you're the
only one that backed that horse called

Imaginary Heart Trouble.

Do you have pains in the region
Of the heart? Does your heart
hump? Its terrible pounding
alarms you? What is wrong? Do
you believe these symptoms mean
heart trouble? Organic diseases of
the heart very seldom occasion much
pain. Nearly all of these pains are
caused by some arrangement of the
stomach. Meritol Tonic Digestive is
especially recommended for indiges-
ton and dyspepsia, and for restor-
ing the stomach to its normal func-
tions and--no more "heart disease"

Her Silent Spouse.

We read of him in three places in
the dispatches of the day. The first
case WAS where a man kissed his wife
against her will, which made her Sc
mad that she had him arrested for
assault and battery, and the cour,
sentenced him to thirty days in Jail
Next case was where a woman had
her husband arrested for getting
drunk and abusing her. When before
the court, here is what she said.

and spends it on liquor. The only
time he's behaved himself was when

family l wish you'd make him quit
work"
All right" said the judge. And
he sentenced the husband not to work
for thirty days.
The third case was a suit for d.
yorce, where the wife charged that
her husband would not speak to her.
He would eat his meals without a
word, then sit down with a paper and
read without looking at her or speak
Ing to her. SO it has been going on
for long time. OF course the court
granted the wife a divorce. Having
a silent, sour husband around is in

EARLY PAsTURING EXPENSIVE

Don't annoy the herd, spoil your
pasture and diminish your profits by
turning the stock out before the
sod has had time to become firm
or the grass to get nicely started.
1t does not pay to let the cows
lose their relish for dry feed be-
fore the pasture is sufficient to sup
ply their needs This is the opin-
ion of G. c. Humphrey, well known
to many Wisconsin stockmen.
F'While there is no more healthful
place for cattle than in good pas
ture, YETI he declares they will
do more injury han good by tramp
ing oSer the soft fields in the ear
ly spring and cropping off the ten
der, succulent, grasses down to the
roots. Young grass contains much
water and little food, yet it tastes
good to the stock after the long
winter season. They will fill up on
every bit of bulky green material
they can find, leaving no room for
dry fodder, and consequently, the
milk flow will slump in quantity
and quality

How to Prevent Smut

Smut diseases which annually
cause enormous losses to the grain
growers Of Wisconsin can be con-
trolled by treating the seed grain
with formaldehyde solution.
According to B. D. Leith, College
of Agriculture, University of Wis
consin, oat smut and barley stripe
can be prevented by soaking the
seed in an ordinary cold water solu-
ton of the drug. Barley smut and
loose smut of wheat, however, are
harder to kill, and perhaps can best
be controlled by hot water treat
ment.
