IS WORK OF MANY MONTHS
Construction Of the Marvellous zeppe-
lin Aircraft Not Matter Which
Can Be Hurried.

The building of a Zeppelin is not
the work of a day. The mere work on
the vessels takes an entire year, and
when that work is done another three
months must be spent in testing.
Stretched in a framework of girders,
there are from seventeen to twenty.
five balloonettes from end to end. Over
these and over the girders is an outer
skin Of proofed canvas. Slung under
the great length is series of cabins.
Right in front is the station of the
lookout man, who is in charge of the
starting and the landing; he has an
chors slung beneath him. In the first
boat, which is entirely covered in, are
two petrol engines. Behind this boat
fs the gangway, fitted up with sleeping
berths for the crew. In the center Is
the observation station. 1t is from
here that the bombs are dropped, and
it is in here that the marvellous steer.

Nervousness, dizziness, headache;

GET "sTAND" OF ASPARAGUS
Plant Requires Deep, Sandy, Black
Loam-FertiIizer Is of the
Greatest Importance.

Asparagus requires a deep, sandy,
black loan soil, the deeper the better;
subsoil of a porous nature and well
tile drained.
The item Of fertilizer is one of 81
gantic Importance. Fertilizer in some
form must be procured in liberal guam
titles. Asparagus is not dainty feed
er; 1t devours alike the fine ground
bone of commerce and the dead cat
picked up in the back alley.
In starting a family asparagus oeo
plow the ground at least six inches
deep. The plants should be one year
old, set in rows three feet apart anu
eighteen inches apart in the row.
Dig the holes for the plants large
enough to receive the roots In their
natural position, and eight incnes
deep; firm the earth well over the
plants.
Two hundred will supply a good
sized family all they can use. Cultl'
vate and fertilize well for two years
before cutting and you will have plen-
ty Of good asparagus.

UGHl CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK.
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Be-
fore 1t SaliVateS You!
It's Horrible!

You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
pated and believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your
liver and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a so cent bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and take a spoon
full tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you right up
better than calomel and without
gripping or making you sick | want
you to go back to the store and get
your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days work.
Take a spoonful of harmless, veget-
able Dodson's Liver Tone tonight
and wake up feeling great. It's
perfectly harmless, so give it to
your children any. time. 1t can't
salivate, so let them eat anything
afterwards.

eantams More Than Pay for Keep in
Number of Eggs They Lay-Ail-
ments Spread Rapidly.

Many persons are of the opinion
that bantams, because of their small
size, are valuable only for ornamental
purposes. They are mistaken, how
ever, for while they are rather too
small for table use, they will more
than pay for their keep in the num-
ber of eggs they lay.
For those who do not have much
room for poultry bantams are excel
lent chickens. They thrive well in
close confinement; a flock of dozen
can be kept in yard ten feet square,
and a good-sized dry goods box will
serve as house.
They are small feeders, yet the fe-
males will produce on an average 100
eggs each year, and the eggs are al
most as large as those laid by some
strains of Leghorns.
Don't let disease of any kind get a
start in your flock. AS soon as any
disease appears, isolate the affected
birds in a coop kept for that special
purpose, or, if the cases are very bao
and the birds are not of special value
use the hatchet and destroy the bodies.
An ailment will spread rapidly,
hence better sacrifice few fowls at
the start than run the risk of losing
many. Disease is sometimes intro
duced into a flock of birds that have
been purchased at other places, so
care should always be used in purchas-
ing additional stock.
Everyone who has ever had expert
ence with poultry knows that cleanli-
ness is absolutely imperative If the
flock is to prove profitable.
Fowls will do something toward bal
ancing their own rations, and they will
take more or less exercise if they have
the chance. But they cannot rid their
quarters of filth and vermin. No
doubt, however, but that the fowls
on many farms would be glad if they
could perform such work. 1t would
be done then.
The development of the cold storage
business in eggs has made it difficult
for city people to secure fresh eggs, OF
good quality eggs, therefore there is
good business for the farmer.

Somewhat Involved.

A few days ago in the northern
part of Columbia, while an old-time
darky was lazily leaning against the
outside of grocery store, an ante
bellum negro from the country, driv-
ing a wagon loaded with chickens,
stopped in front of the store.
The city negro said, Hello, Bob,

You didn't ak me is | got no
eggs is you, but ak me amt | got

Il amt ak you amt you got no

negro.

A Dream--WaS 1t Yours?

A school teacher dreamed that he
quit teaching and bought farm.
He felt happy in the prospect of
freedom and pro6:. The first crop
planted was wheat, and the yield
was large; again the teacher was
happy. The total amounted to 1000
bushels, and the market price was a
dollar a bushel; he sold it all. and
felt that now he could afford to do
some things he long had wished to
do. But the wheat had been sold
to 1000 different people, a bushel
to each one. A few of them paid
cash, but more did not, and many of
them neglected to pay even when
reminded. He was troubled, but
awoke to find he was still a teacher.
1t required no Joseph to interpret
the dream; he saw the point, gave
heed to the pointer, and remitted
promptly for his subscription to his
county paper.

Hair Pulling a Disease.

Hair pulling isn't confined to mari
tai disputes. There is a curious af-
Fiction, more of nerves than Of the
skin, called trichotillomania, which
causes people to pull out their OWN
hair. In the last number Of the Jour.
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton Kansas City specialist describes
two cases which he treated. A young
woman of twenty.seven was in the
habit of pulling out her eyebrows; a
schoolboy of fourteen tweaked the
hairs out of the left side of his head.
The hair pulling was involuntary; ir-
resistable impulses, coming suddenly,
caused them to do it. Rest, freedom
from worry and tonic containing
arsenic produced noticeable improve
ment in both cases.

Secret Closely Kept.

Cologne's toilet water industry,
which is being so seriously affected
by the war, was established II the
beginning Of the seventeenth CEN
tury. The inventors of toilet water
(eau-de- Cologne) were Paul Feminis
and Maria Clementine, Catholic
nun. They began on small scale,
with few persons employed, whom they
did not initiate into the secrets Of the
whole process, the last and most i'm
portant mixture being made by the
inventors themselves. Paul Feminis
left the secret with the Farina fam
lily, while the nun bequeathed the Sc
cret to one Peter Schaeben, who had
been her assistant for nany years.

CARING FOR The BROOD sow
Animals Intended for Breeding Pur-
poses Should Be Matured, but Not
Fat-lnduce Exercise.

AS the breeding season approaches
it is necessary to have the sows in the
best of condition. Animals intended
for breeding purposes should be ma
tured but not fattened; if immature
animals are to be used at all, they
should be at least eight months old
before being bred.
During pregnancy, sows should have
abundant exercise and a variety OF
feed. During the winter months, un-
less. extra care be taken, brood sows
are particularly liable to lie in their

quarters and become inactive. Effort
should be made to induce them to
exercise. This may be accomplished
by having them travel around the
barnyard for feed, or by housing them
some distance from their feeding
place, or by making them root for
grain scattered under litter on a
barn or she'd floor. They should not
be given too much of any one kind OF
feed. If excessively fed, corn is par
ticularly Objectionable.
