Farmers are taking advantage of
the recent rains by doing their plow-
ing for wheat, trusting to luck to get
it harvested, as a good many have
been called to the colors by the seIec-
tive draft
The scale on potatoes is worse this
year than for several years, in some
cases the potatoes are only fit to feed
the hogs on and they would have to
be pretty hungry to eat them.
The prospect for corn is bright, as
is has suffered very little from the
lack of rain.

Gathered Smiles
FORESIGHT OF POOR FARMER.

A certain. hard working farmer had
sent his son to a good preparatory
school SO that he might early begin
to receive the best instruction. For
his study of music the boy mad TO
have a violin, but he was such little
fellow that his teacher thought that a
so-called half violin" was al that
was necessary for him. According to
the Meggendorfer Blaetter, the father,
whose resources had been sadly taxed,
was loatlNto part with the money for
the instrument, but finally did so.
The boy made rapid progress. and
became so proficient that half violin
was no longer good enough for him.
Again he went to the music store with
his father, to whom the salesman
showed the entire stock of violins. The
parent was apparently dissatisfied
with all of them and his gaze wan
dered round the shop seeking for
something better. Finally he saw a
violoncello.

spread over his countenance. "The

VsH1y rheumatism Comes
with Gold Weather

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
rlatism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
