Glass of Hot Water
 Before Breakfast < a Splendid Habit
Open sIuIces Of the system each morning and wash away the
 .polsonous, stagnant Smatter. -


 F Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache. stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath. aDjd stom- ach, lame back can -insteads both look and feel as fresh as da4ay always by washing the .poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. ..@ ..f's
 We should. drink. before breakfast, a glass of real, hot water with a tea spoonful of lime4o1f5 phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels, the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins. thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach.
 The action of li1lestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach Is wonderfully inugorating. It cleans out all the sour ferEuentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and 1t is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilious ness. constipation, stomach ,trouble or Rheumatism real enthusiastic on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it. and you fare assured that you will look better and feel better, in every way shortly. ,.,i =

sometimes used for this crop. They are also very good. for truck gardens.
 e In some parts, of New England, where farmers have had to look more carefully to the renewing of old soils than in some of the newer sections of the country, wood ashes have long been appreciated. Ashes indirectly increase the available nitrogen of the organic matter in the soil
 Ashes from hardwoods (decidious treesl are richer in both phosphorus and potash than those froms pines and other .softwoods. Ashes from oak, elm, maple, and hickory have more potash than those from pine. The ashes of twigs (fagots for example) are worth more for agricultural pur- poses than the ashes of heartwood taken from the midle of an old tree. In general, the smaller and younger the wood burned, the betterfthe ashes. The ashes of coal do not contain potash to make them valuable in this connection.
 Ordinary. house ashes contain on the average about 8 or g per cent of potash. I or 2 per cent of phosphoric acid, a little magnesia, and a good deal of lime. It has been estimated that there, is enough potash and phos- phoric acid in a bushel- of ashes to make it~worth 20 cents or more. Be- sides that, some five or ten cents. ad- ditional might be allowed for the
 talkalie power" of the ashes.

All the windows will be either Fenestra or united steel, five feet in width and feet inches in height, having 20 inch brick pilasters between, ensuring perfect light for an parts of the building. The usual stair work will be placed where needed. The present mill plant is. now what is known by wocIen men as a -four set''' mill, and the buildings to be built. with changes in other buildings will. make this plant an "eight set'' mill, just double its present capacity. Jo- seph Hall & Sons will take charge as owners of this plant. after the end of; the year, Mir.

 For years Professor Webster has ex- wave, and today he told of his work in regard to standardizine sounds for fog horns and the development of . receiving instrument capable a. o1 catching the signals. Ss.s
 The standard sound, which. he hopes will be adopted for navigation, so. far as fog signals are concerned, is formed by. means of a tuning fork. arranged so as to hum in.-a resonator by the passage of an electric current. The re- ceiving instrument consists Of coflicai ends together. and these catch the. hum from the signalling machine. A glass connected with the receiving apparatus shows. by means of lights within, the direction from which come the signal sounds-
 Heretofore, the speaker explained mariners have not been able to tel within 45 degrees the direction from which fog signals come. ss~ = ss4 of Ireland was sunk on the coast oi Canada, abont two years ago. the speaker pointed out. was due to the pilots on board her and the ship with which she collided steering wrongly ir a fog.

QUALIFY POTATOES DEMANDED.
Argentine No Longer Able to Get German spuds and Looks to Amer jeans, - s-

New England potato growers should take. advantage of the export trade to South America opened since the beginning of the European War. Argentine is now lookign to the Unit ed States for large quantities Of po- tatoes and stands ready to pay quail ty prices for quality goods" says Prof. Henry G.. Bell formerly professor of Agronomy and Manager of Farms; Gn- tversity of Maine. 5
 Export potatoes must be of high quality, of the table grade free from disease and mechanical injury and must be packed in bushel crates. Ger many has been sending quality pota- toes to Argentine and getting high prices. Now the trade is willing to pay the price but expects quality D says Professor Bell. who has been studying the potato situation in the United States for years.
 Proper soil treatment and the bal ancing of plantfood is essential to the growing of potatoes of high qaul- ity. Potatoes make the greater part of their growth within sixty days and they must have plenty of food while growing explains Professor Bell. There is also a limited market in South America for small sound pota- toes. ranging from two to. four ounces in weight They must be uniform and graded carefully" ss 5-s

MOSS HURTS, HAY CROP.
The Most Practical and Quickest Way = for Overcoming It.

A field which is cutting from three to five. tons of hay per acre is usually the field which has upon it practically a perfect stand of grass. Unfortu- nately many of our fields are produc- ing one, ton or less. This can not help but mean in most instances a where. near perfect. In too marry cases the trouble is due to the pres ence of a large amount of moss which Is coming in more and more each year lessening the stand and also is the case the most practical and quickest way of getting 1t into an ideal condition is to blow itsup. work it into the rotation. lime. fertilize and reseed. Never should such a field be reseeded without an application of ground limestone or its equivalent to the acre.

PASTURES.
Good Opportunity Furnished Now
 For Clearing Them Up.

A large labor income is more, likely to be realized from a large business than a small business On many farms the number of acres which are available for cultivatfng purposes is limited. This consequently limits the possibility of doing a large enough business to warrant a large income where general farming is to be car rfed on. On many farms there are several acres which with little labor and time can be made to produce ex- ce1lent crops which should be found in any rotation. Possibly drainage will be necessary. If so, one should not hesitate to spend from ~$30 to $40 to put this land into fine producing con dition. Now that fall crops are har- vested, an acre or two of pasture land night be clearedfup, turned over, to be added to the fields which are all ready in the rotation. s--1
