The Daisy Chain

have wandered to the meadow
On this quiet Sabbath morn.
And hear the ghostly whisperings
'mongst the moving blades of corn.
I can hear the distant tinkle
OF a cow-bell on the hill.
And fond memories crowd around me,
Ger my heart there comes thrill.
And a vision comes before me
OF Sabbath long ago.
OF 9 girlish form beside me.
Dear heart. I loved her so.
Nov the vision becomes clearer.
I behold her once again -. --

What He Missed

My wedding was. not far in the past
and | was giving a dinner party for
several bachelor friends of my hus-
bands. l was especially anxious for
things to run smoothly, as one of the
party was somewhat of an "old fame"
and | wanteds him to see just what
wonderful hOusekeeper he had missed.
The maid was new, so to be perfectly
sure that all would go well l ordered
the dinner in complete detail the pre-
viOus evening.
In bringing in the soup the maid
spilled a serving on the very man that
| was planning to impress. When the
meat course came on there was an abb
sence Of potatoes, and on asking for
them i was informed that we were
out of potatoes and she had forgotten
10 order them.
Needless to say that my face did not
need the aid of any drug store for suf-
icient cOloring, while the face of the
young man in question reflected,
thought, positive relief that he had es-
capped such extreme lack of manage
ment.-ChicagO Tribune.

Grew Victim of III Fortune.

Sir Edward Grey, former foreign sec
tetary, now Viscount Grey of Fallo-
den, is preparing az volume of me-
moirs. He has grown almost totally
blind, and is learning all over again
how to read by the sense of touch.
Fate has brought tragedy into Sir
Edward Grey's life. He was deeply de-
voted to his wife, companion to him
in his fishing trips and other out
door excursions. She was injured in
runaway accident in 1905 and died.
Always of a retiring disposition. the
former secretary became more so I'M
der the poignancy rof this domestic
tragedy. A short time before the war
a brother was killed by a lion in At
RIGA. In the early days of the war his
nephew, who would have become heir
to the title of viscount. which was con-
ferred on him when governmental
changes saw him depart from the for
pirn office, was killed. The title, there
fore, may lapse with the death of the
first viscount, Grey, himself, for he has
nc children.

DEH0RNING is NOT PAINFUL
Shrinkage in Yield of Milk Following
r Operation Is Very Temporary and
Insignificant.
prepared by the United States Depart
rnent of A pricl11ture

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Inquiries are frequently received as
to whether the operation of dehorn-
ing is very painful, and whether 1t
may not be classed as cruelty to ami
mails. Those who have an extensive
experience in dehOrning appear to
agree that the pain induced by the OPP
Grafton has been greatly overestimat-
ed, as careful observation has shown
that Shrinkage in the yield of milk as
well as of butterfat following the de-
horning of cows is very temporary and
insignificant. On the other hand, the
worry, pain and cruelty often inflicted
by cattle upon their mates before be-
ing deprived of their horns is much
more to be considered, and not infre
Quently results in the death of a val
liable animal. A neighbor on an adj
joining farm to that owned by the
writer a few years ago lost two good
mich cows in one winter through their
being disemboweled by the horns of
barnyard mates while out for exercise.
He dehorned his entire herd almost inn
mediately afterward. The increased
safety of the animals much more than
compensates for any loss of beauty re-
Sulting from the removal of horns.

II You heed a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post Address

and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

Practically all the thrashing rings
perform some outside work as accom-
mediation at the customary rates, or
to enlarge the ring in order to secure
all the necessary help.
When a ring buys all the machinery
new-separator, power, clover huller,
and possibly a grain shelter or a 81
lage cutter-and builds shed to house
the implements, the total capital under
prewar prices required usually
amounts to $1,000 or $4,000. When it
is possible for the company to hire
good engine or some other part of the
equipment, it may not be advisable to
buy.
Thrashing for the various members
of the ring is performed on business
basis, an average days work being re-
garded as 1000 bushels of oats, or
about 1000 bushels of wheat or rye.
Record is kept of the time put in by
each laborer and the costs of the work
are distributed among the members
on the basis of the amount of grain
thrashed. Farmers interested in the
organization and promotion of thrash
ing rings may obtain copies of the pub
lication describing them by writing TO
