CONSTIPATION
IS DANGEROUS
Pinklets, the New Laxative,
Really Do Correct 1t.

The sufferer from constipation is dis
tressed after eating, gas forms on the
stomach, the abdomen has feeling of
pressure and weight and is hard and dis
tended.
The blood soon absorbs poisons that
should have been expelled and loss OF
flesh shows that the body is being poorly
nourished. Headaches becomefrequent,
the PATIENTS drowsy, irritable and some--
times faint.
Pinklets, the new laxative pills, do not
wear out their effect before accomplish
ing their work Of correcting constipation,
because they do not stimulate the bowels
to over-exertion. They assist nature so
gently that the action is regular and
thorough, yet without gripping. Pinklets
put the liver, stomach and bowels in har-
monious, perfect working order.
A short trial of Pinklets will convince
you that they are the ideal laxative.
Every druggist can now supply you with
Pinklets at rs cents per bottle. Write to
the DIR. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y, for Pinklet book telling
all about the treatmenU of constipation.

WHITEWASH.

Whitewash is the cheapest of all
paints. and for certain purposes it is the
best, according to Farmers Bulletin 474.
Lin e, which is the basis of whitewash,
makes very sanitary coating, and is
probably to be preferred for cellars and
the interior of stables and other out
buildings. 1.-THE following directions for
making WhiteWash are taken from
"White Paints and painting Materials, "
by w. G. Scott:
Ordinary whitewash: This is made by
shaking about 10 pounds Of quicklime
with 2 gallons of water.
The lime is placed in pail and the
water poured over it, after which the
pail is covered with an old piece of car
pet or cloth and allowed TO stand for
about an hour. With an insufficient
amount of water. the lime is ''scorched"
and not all converted into hydrate; on
the other hand, too much water retards
the shaking by lowering the heat.
"Scorched" lime is generally lumpy
and transparent, hence the use of the
proper amount of water for shaking and
an after addition of water to bring it to
a brush consistency.
Factory whitewash. Interiors): For
walls, ceilings, posts, etc.
W Sixty-two pounds Il busheD quick
lime, slake with Is gallons water. Keep
barrel covered until steam ceases to
rise. Stir occasionally to prevent scorch-
ing.
~ Two and one-half pounds rye flour,
beat up in IL gallon of cold water, then
add 2 gallons boiling water.
81 Two and one-half pounds common
rock salt, dissolve in 2 1-2 gallons of hot
water.

ADOPTING BEES

rived the most Indifferent must regard
beekeeping very sound investment.
A beginner with bees would do well
m visit some one who keeps them and
spend the day learning the ms and
onts of their management-how to tell
the queens, workers and drones, about
the opening of hives and handling Of
frames But before buying any bees
send for a hive and study all it's parts.
I1suallv bees are bought hive and all,
but frequently the hive Is not the right
sort and the bees have to be trans
ferred
An outfit of five hives and all neces-
sary tools for starting can be bought
for about $11. A good, select. tested
queen. suitable for starting with. will
cost So. Start with one frame nu-
cleus in each hive. which, If properly
fall. These will cost 81 each.
Bees Easily Suited.
Location is not important. The town
or village dweller will find the rear of
the lot the best place. The ground
about the hives should be kept smooth
and the grass mown. Never keep bees
near the highway. or lawsuits may re-
suit from bee stings. Too much shade
is as bad for bees as too little Strike
a happy medium, and if the hives are
exposed to strong winds build wind
break of some kind to protect them.
Bees are divided into two classes
workers and drones The Italians are
the most profitable and the easiest to
handle, being very gentle. The Italian
worker bee has distinguishing char
acteristic-namely. three yellow bands.
The workers make all the honey and
usually work themselves to death in
three months. while the drones live
even shorter time. The queen often
lives four or five years, as she does
very little outdoor work.
Every swarm has queen, whose
duty consists in laying eggs for hatch
ing future workers and drones. and
healthy queen will lay during her life
time from 100000 to 100000 eggs.
Swarming is generally the result of
a colony outgrowing its hive. but by
using large hives this will be in a
measure prevented.
Bees must be able to find plenty of
honey bearing plants in order to pro-
duce honey. The Eastwood ranks next
to alfalfa. sage and white clover as
the best honey producer. Buckwheat
and all kinds of flowers supply bees
with honey making material. An av-
erage of IS pounds of honey per hive
can be counted on in good seasons.

SPRAYING TIME
The EARLY Sprayer Catches the
Worms.
p. X. EDWARDS.

r. n. eOWAHO0s
As spraying is preventive, the
sprayer should always be forehanded.
Fruit trees should be sprayed with lime
and sulphur for San Jose scale while
the trees are dormant. and the mixture
may be bought all prepared. Early in
the spring, before the buds start, the
apple, cherry. ounce and pear trees
should be sprayed for scab. coddling
moth, bud moth, cankerworm, tent cat
erpillar and aphis. The moths, canker
worms and caterpillars are chewing in
sects and are destroyed by covering the
leaves with poison, so use copper sui
phate solution. If the aphis appear in
great numbers spray the leaves with
kerosene emulsion. A sharp lookout
must be kept for borers. These little
pests cannot be sprayed. but must be
dug out with a knife or pointed wire.
Moreover. if left to their own devices
they will destroy the trees in com
paratively short time.
Bush fruits and vines also have their
enemies and must be sprayed. The
gooseberry is attacked by mildew, leaf
blight and worms and should be
sprayed carefully. especially under the
leaves, where the eggs of the currant
worm are laid. An excellent spray is
made by using Bordeaux mixture in
the proportion Of one gallon of Bor
deaux to fifty gallons Of water, to
which is added half a pound of paris
green to 100 gallons of the Bordeaux
mixture, and this can also be used on
currants. Raspberry and blackberry
bushes should be gone over and all the
misshapen, diseased and CALLED canes
cut out; then spray with copper cul-
phate solution. The grapevines should
be pruned early and sprayed with
copper sulphate solution for mildew
and leaf blight. and for worms add
paris green as given above.
What Kind Of Sprayer to Buy.
These spray mixtures can be bought
from reliable seed houses, and spray
ing outfits are for sale in every city,
town and village, so there is no excuse
In these modern days for allowing in
sects to get the best of the situation.
In buying a sprayer one should have
definitely in mind for just what pur-
pose it is to be used. For example. if
there are only fruit bushes and grape
vines a knapsack sprayer has many
good points. especially the compressed
air ones They hold about five gallons.
and two or three pumpings nearly
empty the tank. If there are a few
fruit trees of the semi-dwarf or dwarf
variety the small tank sprayer on two
wheels will answer, as it is easy
to get about both in the garden and
orchard. OF course. for the owner of
an acre or more of fruit the power

incredible fact was discovered Friday
when Thomas Crofter. a retired far
mer. underwent an operation on the
tongue. DR.. Netolieky o! Scion, who

stem an inch anu a half long and
slightly over three -eights OF an inch
in diameter. Mr.. Crofter, who is 81
years old. carried the pipe stem in his
tongue for three years and the stem
did not handicsp his speech in the
least. Mr.. Croi,er is vel known on

The pipe stem entered Mr. Crofters
tongue thru an accident three years
ago when Mr.. Crofter WAS celebrating
his 59th birthday Many farmers had
assembled on the Crofter farm for the
celebration. AS Il vas q birthday cele-
bration. there was considerable talk
about age and considerable Boosting
about strength. Mr.. Crofter declared
that in spite of his age his muscles
We're in perfect condition To prove his
statement he engaged in a friendly
wrestling match with his son-in law,
a young farmer.
The son-inlaw did not try to throw
his father in law But while the two
men were tussling, one foot kicked a
sidewalk leading TO well and both
fell. Mr.. Crofter falling on his face

was unconscious for a few moments.
but recovered IN a short time and
laughed at the veilemen with which
his on-in-law apo!ogized. Mr.. Crofter
thought that he sustained no injuries.
The party progressed ard the fall was
soon forgotten. Mr.. Crofter, however.
could not find his pipe stem.
Several months later Mr.. Crofter
felt what he considered boil de-
veloping on his tongue. At first he paid
no attention 10 the ailsnent Last sum
mer. however, the boil seemed to
grow. Mr.. Crofter was able to speak
plainly His tongue Worried him, how
ever Yesterday he stated TO reporter
that he feared ne was victim of can
Ger. He had always heard that can
Ger meant operation but that the OPP
GRAFTON did not save the victim of the
dread disease. Mr.. Crofter declared that
he resolved that il his was case OF
cancer he would undergo no operation
and would die patiently. He had sew
eral friends among the medical profess
sion, but painstakingly kept his tongue
trouble a secret.
Friday morning Mr.. Crofter felt
something hard in his tongue. and be-
gan TO think things over 1t occurred
to him that probably he had no cancer
at all and that his ailnent might be
piece OF tooth. This idea gave him
the courage to consult his wife and
she soon cajoled him to hurry to the
office of DR. Netolicky
The physician at once decided that
there was something in the tongue
perhaps a piece of tooth. He began to
operate at once. Then came the pipe
stem. The unique phase of the pipe
stem is that it was not splintered. The
stem is round one. 1t entered MIR
Crofter's tongue on the left side.
