STOP BUYING EXPEN-
 SIVE COUCH REMEDIES
MAKE THE BEST AT HOME

Money spent for the old style, ready made. cough syrups in bottles holding only 2 10 l-2 ounces is very largely wasted, because most of them are com posed principally of sugar and water. Yet you have to pay the same price as if it was all medicine. Stop wasting this money. You can make a better cough medicine at home at one-fifth the cost. Merely go to Hesterly Drug Store and ask for ounces (50c worth) of Sohiffmann' Concentrated Expecto- rant. Mix this with one pint of gran ulated sugar and one alf pint of boil. ing water, which makes full pint GIG ounces) This new, simple, pleasant remedy is guaranteed to relieve the worst cough or cold. Also excellent for Bronchial Asthma, Bronchitis, crouI hoarseness and whooping cough. One bottle will make enough homemade cough medicine to probably last the whole family the winter. Children like it, it is so pleasant to take and Il positively contains no chloroform, opi- um, morphine or other narcotics as dc most cough mixtures. Keep it on hand in case of emergency and stop eacf cough before it gets firm hold. The above druggist has been authorized tC return the money in every single case where 1t does not give perfect satis- faction or is not found the best remedy ever used. Absolutely no risk is TUT in buying this remedy under this posi- tive guarantee.

BEES AS CROP DESTRoYERS
Charge That Damage Results From
Sucking of Nectar From the
Flower ls Very Unjust One.

Bees are many times accused Of be
ing destroyers of crops Of different
kinds. more especially the fruit crops.
The charge that damage results from
the bees sucking the nectar from the
flower is very unjust one, relates the
Perdue Agriculturist, for, while the bee
is taking the nectar from the flowers
it is aiding greatly in the pollenation
of the flowers, making good crop
possible.
A complaint which is very often made
is that the honey bee punctures fruits,
apples, pears, grapes, etc, and suck
the juices. AS a matter of fact, bees
never puncture sound fruit They do,
however, suck the juices from fruit If
the skin is broken by some other
means. thus using up fruit that is al
ready damaged.

SUCCESS OF A WOMAN
MADE COMFORTABLE LIVING ON
A SMALL PLACE.
Great Secret ls to start With Poultry,
Garden and Berry Fruits, cradu-
ally Increasing stock and
Crop Operations

By KATE ST. MAUR Copyright, 1si4)
Can a family make a comfortable
living on a small farm7
Yes, most emphatically yes, II they
possess ordinary common sense and
industry. My own personal expert
ence is an undeniable demonstration
of that fact started on a rented
place with really no capital, as bust
ness disaster had swallowed up all
our savings, so that ! know what It
is to commence at the very bottom Of
the ladder.
fashioned homestead. There we're two
large barns, corncrib, Toulouse and
several odd sheds II was really
farm Of $50 acres, but the owner let
us have the house and twelve acres,
including the orchard, for SIS a month,
on a three years lease, with the privi-
lege of taking over the additional 16S
acres at any time during our tenancy
for an additional IS a month, with the
option of purchase.
Stock had TO be bought in small lots,
as ] saved money from our living ex-
penses at first So | bought a few
old hens-broody ladies that wanted to
set-and raised las chickens the first
summer. The old hens had cost $40;
extra eggs for setting, IS; feed, 81.
And on the credit side there we're 80
chickens sold as broilers, which
brought 500, IS young pullets kept
for stock and all the eggs we wanted
for our own table. From a trio of
ducks bought early in the spring l
sold 16 young ones when nine weeks
old for 1892 In November of the
same year 80 more were sold and IL
retained for stock. / can't give the
exact cost of feeding because no sep
arate account was kept, but certainly
$40 would cover it, The old birds
cost $3.50, so the profit on the invest
ment amounted to nearly $50.
The apple orchard was in a very
badly neglected condition, but still we
realized $3.50 from sales in the fall,
and our vegetable garden had supplied
wi ONA htNho anu Aui libuGu a BOuh-
tiful supply for picking, preserving
and canning for winter. Having a bal.
ance on the right side of the ledger,
we built a new chicken house and
bought a COW. The place was entirely
self-supporting by the eighteenth
month, and from that time on stock
grew so rapidly that 1t seemed ad
visable to take on the rest of the LAND
and raise all our own feed for the
stock.
The great secret in starting on {
small place is, / think, to commenc,
with poultry garden and berry fruits
and gradually increase stock and croI
raising operations. as success and mar
ket, to say nothing of your own expe-
rience, makes growth feasible.

The superiority Of immature over
mature tubers for seed purposes is
not as yet recognized by the American
potato grower. The European grow.
ers, on the other hand, have long real
lied that, other things being equal.
larger crops can be produced from
immature seed than from mature seed
Uniformity of size and shape is q
quality which should receive more
thought, and strains Of potatoes giving
the greatest yield Of fair-sized, shapely
tubers should be cultivated II is par.
ticularIy important at present that
such strains be developed, because
there is an increasing demand for
fancy table stock to satisfy the re-
quirements of large and discriminat.
ing class Of consumers who are insist
ing on greater uniformity in eize and
shape and are willing to pay more for
such potatoes.
The simplest and surest means of
developing high-grade seed potatoes
is that of the tuber-unit and hill-selec-
ton methods. The tuber-unit method
consists in selecting from the seed bin
a number Of the most perfectly
shaped tubers Of from six to eight
ounces in weight When planted these
are quartered, as dropped, into four
equal parts. This is done by splitting
the bud-eye cluster in each direction
from seed to stem end. In other words
the tuber is cut lengthwise. All tn.
bers showing discolorations of the
flesh or other evidence of disease
should be rejected. Plant the four

Preparation Of Orchard.

As the orchard is TO occupy the
land for several years, the work of
thoroughly preparing the soil before
planting is important.
Whether the planting is to be done
early or late in the season, there is no
time during the whole year so oppor-
tune for effective work with the pillow,
subsoil pillow and harrow as just after
the first good fall rain. At this time
the subsoil is moist, not wet, and last
ing benefits result from stirring and
pulyerizing the subsoil TO good
depth when It is in just the right con
ditlon.

MAKE A SUCCESSFUL GARDEN
First Step Is to Have Plot Situated
So II Can Be Given Same Treat
ment as Farm Crops.

The first step toward a successful
garden is to have it so situated as
TO receive the same cultural treat
ment as that given the general farm
crops. Progressive growers of to-
day seek to eliminate, as far as pos
sible, all hand-work in the making
Of their products. If this is a profit
able procedure in the production Of
staples, 1t is of equal advantage in
