REFUSED TO TAKE ADVICE
Foxes, Unlike Men, Could Not See Things From the Viewpoint
 of the Politicians.

The foxes were new to politics, and so they listened to the advice of the politicians.
 "The thing for you to do,' declared these, "is to belong to parties and al ways vote the straight ticket"
 The foxes thought a moment. If we do so" they objected "are We not in danger of voting. inadvertently, for yellow dogs now and then? Of course. We don't wish to vote for yellow dogs"
 "Of course not replied the politi. clans There's no danger-none in the world. If you really and truly be long to party it follows that there are no yellow dogs in that party, and if there are no yellow dogs in the party. how are you going to vote for such. provided you always vote the straight tieket?"
 But the foxes were not convinced. Indeed, after thinking a little more, they resolved to have nothing to do with parties.
 This fable teaches that foxes are sometimes foxier than men. - New York Evening Post

 In diversified farming it is essential that We give due attention to each branch of farming that is being fol- lowed and seek to harmonize theIA all. We must select only those branches which we find adapted to our farms and which will fit nicely into our gen eral scheme of farm management and eliminate every possible waste.
 We can see farmers on all sides of us who are trying to do co many things. It is a very energetic and am bilious man who can with a limited amount of capital make a success in more than one line of farming to which he gives his study and best services. Of course, he may fellow other lines of work, but those other lines should be, to a certain extent, subservient to his one or two chosen specialties.
 We must make a study to see that every particular crop may and does have it's own proper time and atten- tion, and is not neglected to care for some other crop that needs attention at the same time. When a man has a field of beautiful and thrifty corn, he knows that the soil needs stirring after a rain, and if he allows it to get hard and lumpy the crop will be dam aged.
 If he has a few acres of small fruit that ripens at the same time the corn field needs cultivation, there is sure to be trouble, for he can do but one thing at a time. Small fruit growing and mixed farming do not go well to- gether. but orcharding and general farming will make a good combina- tion. The grain is in the bins and the corn is in the shock or silo by the time the fruit is ready to harvest and market.
 Dairying and stock growing form an excellent combination and one that will improve the fertility of the farm Dairy farming and the growing of po- tatoes or market crops make another good combination.
 The potatoes may be groWu in the same rotation of crops that is prac- ticed in growing feed for cattle. The work may be done with the same help required to care for the potato crop
 We take the ordinary crops of corn and wheat as an example. The west ern farmer, who grows a large acre age of corn and wheat, finds that he

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandmas Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
 Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every. body uses this old, famous recipe, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly, You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger Adv

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
 WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu- traize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
 for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and fnfiame, causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they cant control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
 ent lithia-water drink, which quickly

must plant his corn early and push it's cultivation to have it well out of the way by the time wheat is ready to harvest. Late planted corn and wheat both need attention at the same time and one or the other must suffer.
 Under any combination the general farmer should grow as nearly as pos sible a balanced ration for the ani- mals he is feeding. and such fruits and vegetables as are needed to sup. ply his own table.
 A second consideration in diversi- fled farming should be to grow a ra- tional rotation of crops, a rotation adapted to the needs of the live stock, and one that will not diminish the fer tility of the soil for future crops. Corn, wheat and clover constitute an excel lent rotation of crops, and this may be heightened year to admit cash or market crop.
 Another matter to consider is that of the equipment or outfit that is necessary to handle the various crops to the most profitable advantage. At
  properly conduct line of farming Is large and must increase as the busi- ness expands.
 As a general rule do not believe in buying too much farm machinery. We need to keep up to date, but unless a man is careful he will soon have a small fortune lying around in second hand machinery.
 The same rule applies with equal force to buildings, for in all lines of special farming, as well as in stock farming, buildings are a necessity. As a rule, 1 believe that we shall find larger profits in growing crops that may be handled with as little expense for tools and equipment as is consist ent with economy.
 Another matter is the adaptation of certain crops to certain soils. The man who makes a specially of one crop studies the kind of soil best adapted to his crop, and I am fully convinced that an intelligent knowl- edge and appreciation of these facts relating to our crops and soils would bring rich rewards to the diversified farmer.
 There is a science growing up around the development of every farm crop and it requires our continual effort and study to keep to date on growing a variety of crops
