is exposed to weathering gradually
mingles with surface soil and vege-
table growth, and the soil depth thus
becomes increased. 1t is well, there
fore, to pillow little deeper each year
for several successive seasons, and
then for one season to pillow at about
half the depth Of the deepest blowing.
The pillow should be so adjusted that
1t will turn all the soils and leave the
surface smooth. In every instance,
spring-plowed land should be pulver-
lied the same day 1t is plowed.
Deep Cultivation.
Where a heavy growth Of clover or
weeds or heavy application of ma
nure has been plowed under In the
fall, the land should be given, just pre-
vious to planting, cultivation as deep
as 1t was plowed. This deep cultiva-
ton mixes the humus throughout the
soil and Is of more value than any
cultivation the corn crop can be given.
1t is economical, because wider cult
vators and more horses can be en-
ployed per man than is possible Gfter
the corn is planted.
AS general rule, corn should never
be planted before the seeded IL thor
oughly prepared. Planting in poorly
prepared seedbed for the single pur-
pose Of getting the seed in the ground
early rarely pays. With well-pre-
pared seeded the cultivation of the
corn is, in sense, half done.

tivated three inches deep there re-

but If plowed ten inches deep and

more than twice as much loose, undis-

Deep Flowing Best.
For a deep, rich soil deep blowing
is therefore best, providing it Is done
in the fall or does not render the soil
too loose and dry. For thin clay soils
subsoiling is better than very deep
blowing, because it does not turn the
compact clay to the surface, yet at
the same time IL loosens the soil to
good depth. The blowing should
not be at the same depth from year
to year, as by such practice the soil
is not mixed well, and hardpan may
be formed at the bottom of the burrows
where the horses walk and the plOws

Bodily Housekeeping
(By V. M. PIERCE, NJ. d.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, GrutZner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain In the back or back of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old Is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets of Anuric three or four
times q day.
Anuric acts much more quickly than
lithia. Many find II dlssolves uric
acid as water does sugar.

A criticism often directed against

Possibly such criticism has as its
basis the fact that the climate Of Jer-
sey island, the birthplace of the
breed, is rather mild. But the criti-
cism has no basis; in fact, Eminent's

Cause Of rheumatism.
From the American Magazine.

"The cause of rheumatism is pus
formed and imprisoned in some part OF
the body. 1t gets into the circulation
and is carried by 1t to the region at
fected. These pus places may be in
spots more or less closed up, so they
are not easily drained. They may be
located about the teeth, at the end OF
the root Of dead or diseased teeth, in
the crypts Of the tonsils in some Of the
sequestered places in the nostrils, in
the bony sinuses Of the head; they may
be In the bladder, the kidney, the gall
ducts or other places. The pus
producing spot may be as small or
smaller than a pea or 1t may be larger.
It's existence IL frequently unknown to
the patient, especially If 1t be hidden in
soft tissue like the tonsil. It may even
exist in the bony socket Of a tooth
without giving pain.
Several different organisms produce
pus, and any or all may produce rheu-
natism when transferred to the joints
or the heart.
1.-THE physician today seeks for the
pus cavity when he meets patient
with rheumatism, and he endeavors to
clean 1t up. Rheumatic pains have
been stopped with magical promptness
by simply extracting the offending
tooth. It Is not always easy to find the
pus places in the hidden parts Of the
body. The X-ray shadowgraph Is es-
sential in locating the trouble; 1t shows
definitely and accurately all trouble
about the roots Of the teeth and its use
IL therefore Of the first Importance In
ferreting out the pus In the deep
structures"

REAL SITUATION THAT
CRIES OUT IN MEXICO
From the Washington Times.

Few Americans realize the actual
situation of the residents in many
Mexican cities. They regard the Mexi-
cans, and the foreign residents there,
as annoyed by domineering officialdom,
and subject to the inconvenience of i'm
minent revolutions.
A Mexican residing in Washington,
very close to Mexican affairs, re-
marked the other day: The situation
of thousands OF Mexicans, especially IN
the cities, is little less pitiable than
that of the war sufferers in Europe we
are collecting money to help"
All authoritative statements indicate
that this picture is not exaggerated.
Mexican money has long since become
a grim joke, and the inevitable disaster
of deprecated currency is being felt
in Mexico. Property Is being confis-
Gated right and left from persons al
legged to be "unfriendly" to the gov
eminent, and the proceeds pocketed by
those in power.
Women and children cry in the
streets for bread, and the men, most
likely, are lined up with this band or
that of insurrectionists. To the great
majority Of Mexicans the entry Of
American soldiers and a clearing up of
affairs will be a boon.

EMPRESS EUGENE TO
FULFILL PROPHECY

Marlborough, Hampshire, Eng. -
When Empress Eugenie OF France re"
Gently celebrated her Goth birthday at
the residence where she passes her
exile from her native country she babe
fair to fulfill prophecy made by a
gypsy woman at Madrid in 1S39-that
she would live somewhere about 100
years. She enjoys remarkable health
and Is able to get about the house, al
though suffering somewhat from lame
ness for many years. Every day she
Is taken out in a bath chair to enjoy
the open air, Of which she Is extremely
fond.
The empress often entertains visit
ors, mostly relatives, and with her on
her birthday were Prince Victor Ma
poleon and Princess Clementine and
their family. In one wing. Of her house
she has had apartments fitted up for
q number OF wounded British officsrs,
and she paid visit to them on the day
Of her anniversary and spoke to them
OF their experiences at the front, for
she exhibits keen interest in the war.
On several occasions she has invited
small parties Of the less severely
wounded among them to dinner, and
their presence at her table appears to
have had remarkable effect on her
spirit.
The story OF the gipsy's prophecy is
told in connection with a slight acci-
dent which occurred to the little Span
tsh princess when she was only Is.
She was a girl of very high spirit and
one day when romping slid down the
stair banister so fast that she dashed
her head against a projection and fell
unconscious. A gypsy woman who was
passing the doorway entered and as
sisted in restoring the princess, whose
mother was bewailing the accident.
There Is no danger said the gypsy.
T6o ln Hxy mil 1tNrA 90 Ok
She was born under the open sky on
the night Of battle. She will be a
queen"
AS a matter Of fact, whether the
gipsy knew II or not, the girl who was
to become empress OF France was born
at Granada in tent in the palace gar -
den, where her mother had taken ref
uge during an earthquake.
The princess helself was rather su-
perstitious, and when she was afr =
anced to the emperor, Napoleon III, she
was found one day by her mother in
the act Of working out a symbol Of let
| tiers and figures, which on investiga-
| ton turned out to be her own name

husband, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,

OF the letters in accordance with their
order in the alphabet, which gave the
. following result: Els, U-21, CT, E-5,

Ever afterwards she asserted she

new MUSIC BY
OLD MASTERS

AT a time when artists and conduc-
tors spend precious energy in a bootless
search after novelties for the next sea-
son one reads with satisfaction the
statement made In a recent interview
by Ossip Gabrilowitsch to the effect
at the present day by composers who
have been accepted as the worlds
greatest for scores Of years" That fact
ought to be deeply pondered by those
VINO are losing sleep because the war
has put quietus on creation abroad
and since success does not inevitably
reward their efforts to find something
Of domestic manufacture adapted to
their peculiar needs.
The acquisition Of fresh-laid novelties
has become an obsession with the pres
emit generation Of concert givers. They
would consider suicide as cheerfully as
season in which they could not
sponsor some newly made production.
A fallacious sense Of duty dominates
them completely and they fail to realize
the illusory nature Of their quest. They
must have novelties not so much be-
cause the public yearns for them as for
the reason that the inner circle Of pro-
fessionals consider them necessary, and
even more so-because some amiable
colleague might steal a march on them.
Consequently many an afternoon and
evening Is made hideouS with STUFF
which ought never to have been hon.
ored In the observance.
Today more than ever musicians
could profitably adopt Mr.. Gabrilowit-
schs suggestion. New music by old
masters abounds. That il is not more
frequently exploited is due to the aver
age concert giver's lack of enterprise
and initiative, to the baneful habit OF
musicians of following like sheep In
the tracks of their predecessors. Mr.
Gabrilowitsch speaks, in the interview
in question. only for pianists. He re-
minds them that Chopin has written
three times as much as the public hears
{ Of him. But one can say as much Of
many of the symphonic masters. Why
then, cannot conductors search these
treasure houses for something new OF
unfamiliar as profitably as they do the
poverty stricken contemporary output
Why waste time in these solemn days
