When a man grows bald, some | times he spites himself by rais ing side whiskers. While a man is making an ex- cuse for one fault he is often thinking up a new excuse for another. A Louisiana cyclone drove a nun.ber of lunatics sane. Coun- ter-irritant soothes brainstorm, apparently. If a man wants to make a fool of himself he has plenty of volun- teer assistants who will boss the! joo for him. A bald-headed man writing for samples of hair tonics, is likea legless man accepting an invi- tation to a dance. A John Hopkins man has taken punctual readings every half hour for two months in the in- terest of science. Preparing himself for an autopsy? On Monday there are lots oi! men who look as if they expected everybody to point to them and say: “There's the man who went to church yesterday.” Since giving patent-medicine testimonials went out of fashion about the only way for a man to get his picture printed is to be appointed on some kind of an investigating committee. There are just as many men who think they could advise other men how to boss their wives as there are who think they could show others how to! raise their children properly. A Missouri woman is suing an editor because he said in an obi- tuary that her husband had gone to a happier home. It never pays| for an editor to say what he thinks when writing an obitu- ary. The robins who were induced | to come here early in March expecting to be given solo parts in the glad spring comedy, were rather put out when they had to double up and do a snowbird turn. The Virginia Euterprise muses: “\ man will play bil- liards haf the night and pay 25 cents a game and drink 15 cent whiskey without expecting any part in the management of the saloon. But if he pays $2 per year for a newspaper—or even if he gets it on th: deadhead list— { he thinks he pught to have some- thing to say as to its policy.” —— Pretty Close. A certain elderly lady was in a fairly good position and lived in one of the guburbs of a large town. One morn- Ing she went to her butcher with a Dbasket filled with wooden skewers. She told him she had saved them—that they had been weighed to her as meat and that she had brought them to recelve their weight back again in meat! Is there a man bold enough to carry econ- omy so far? Perhaps the meannesses of mean people are more often actuated by feelings of avarice than by those of economy. It would be difficult, for In- stance, to find a worse case than the following: An old man once wrote a letter to a friend, and, wishing to save his stamp, he ordered his servant to take it to its address. It was raining, and the girl wore a new dress that she was afrald of spoiling. She looked into the street, saw a boy she knew, and, calling out to him, she said, “Deliver this letter for me, and I will give you a penny.” The miser heard the offer and sald, “Give me the penny, and I will carry the letter myself.” What is more, he did so.—London Captain, Hats In Korea. The reling hat of the monks in Korea a large, umbrella-like frame- work of cane, a foot and a half in di- ameter at the brim and closing to a sharp point at the top. The whole is covered with smooth rush matting, bound at the brim into a hexagon by a narrow edging of white cotton and fit- ted inside with a circle of cane to clasp the head. Nuns may often be seen trudging along, staff in hand, and their hats are even more striking—a wisp of fine, flexible straw, elaborately bound at one end. cut sharply off at the other, 80 as to make it a foot long, and quaint- ly dumped on the crown of the head. The courtiers also have their distine. tive hats, They are of huge dimenslons, { In some cases two or more feet in di- ameter, and are made of clay.—“Far Eastern Impressions,” by E. F. T. Hatch, M. P. The Innocent Joys of Youth. “Gracious, Fanny!” exclaimed a mother to her little daughter. “Why are you shouting like that? Why can’t you be quiet like your brother?’ “He’s got to be qulet,” replied Fan- ny. *“He'’s playing papa coming home late. “And who are you playing?” “Oh, I'm playing you!” — Harper's Weekly.

Two Are Immense Croppers and Strong Growing Plants, Greater grogress has been made the last three or four years along the strawberry line than ever before. The Sample Is about the only variety that holds its own, but from present indica- tions even that berry will be set one side. The Cardinal, a pistillate vari- ety like the Sample, just now Is creat- Ing quite a sensation. The illustration here shown was taken from a cluster of last season and is a correct like- THE CARDINAL STRAWBERRY. ness of the berry, not one of those over- grown berries, but will average good size, an immense cropper and the most vigorous growing plant ever sent out. It will be a mortgage lifter, s an eastern grower in American Cultivator. Golden Gate is another new berry of great promise. This is a fancy berry, like the Marshall, only it is worth a ddzen of it, being of fine quality and a good cropper. The Abington, sent out two years ago, has proved about what the orig- Inator claimed and is a safe berry to plant. Another berry, the Dicky, that has not been put upon the market yet is a strong, staminate variety, an immense cropper, very firm, colors well and is a long season berry. I have no plants of it on my grounds, but as soon as [ can I shall set largely of it. Field Dodder. Dodder, or love vine, is a great ene- my of alfalfa. It is a parasitic vine growing on the stems and taking out the life and vitality of even the roots. The vine intwines itself about the al- falfa stems in great clusters and grows thriftily or small in exact proportion to the growth of alfalfa. When the alfalfa is cut, this vine appears in dry, hairy bunches about the stems. It is 80 repugnant to horses and cattle that it will not be eaten except as a last re- sort before starvation. The best way to keep free from dodder is to buy only clean seed. In some cases farm- ers use fanning mills and try to re- clean the seed before sowing. If the plant gets started in a field, the best plan to get rid of it is to scatter straw over the alfalfa stubble and burn the entire field. This does not injure the alfalfa, but kills the dodder and other noxious weeds.—Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Hen Manure For Crops. Hen manure gives good results on all crops, but probably best on such plants as make most of their growth above ground, like cabbage, corn or grass. Some great results, however, are reported with Len manure on po- tatoes. We generally use it on garden crops and strawberries. The most ef- fective use of this manure is, as we have often described, to crush it fine and mix with chemicals, such as muri- ate of potash and acid phosphate. This makes a fair mixture for many crops. The hen manure is richer in nitrogen than in potash and phosphoric acld, and these chemicals give it a good “balance.”—Rural New Yorker. Injurious to Trees. The most effective insecticide yet employed against the oyster shell bark louse during the dormant period of the tree is the lime sulphur, or lime sulphur salt wash. An application of this wash dur- ing the latter part of March or first weeks in April, followed in the case of badly Infested trees by a sec- ond application before the buds have swollen much, will gen- erally suffice to eradicate the scale. Such treatment Is OYSTER SHELL BARK LOUSE. also effective in destroying the apple scab fungous spores. The oyster shell bark louse is readily distinguish- able from other scale insects by its elongated, rather slender curved form, being about one-eighth inch in length. —Joseph L. Hills, Vermont. Orchards In Grass. The majority of good apple orchards nowadays are In cultivation. The old, fashioned plan of seeding the orchard down to grass is in disfavor. Still there are some exceptional cases In which apples do fairly well or even better than that while growing in sod. —F. A. Waugh in Gardening. " IRRIGATING SEDIMENTS. They Necessitate the Best Cultivation That Is Possible. The streams of the southwest carry unusually large amounts of sediments, particularly in times of flood. A re- cent bulletin of the Arizona experi- ment station reports a study of the fertilizing and physical effects of such sediments upon the soil. The most pro- nounced effect of the free use of irrl- gation water containing large amounts of sediment was found to be the for- mation of a silit blanket which inter- FINE FOR THE BLOOD. Get the following from any good preseription pharmacy and mix by shak- ing well ina bottle: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hal{ ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful of this mixture after each meal and again at bedtime, This harwloss Vegetable Prescnplmn, while simple, inexpensive and easily pre- pared at home, is said to take from the blood and system all impurities, acids and decomposed waste mat. ter, restoring even the most impure blood to its full health and richness. Ifa few doses are taken occa- sionally it will make you feel well and hearty during the entire season. Try it, any way. Teres with (he penefration of irriga- tion waters and in other ways impairs the physical condition of the soil. Ix- periments on the effects of these silt deposits on {he growth of alfalfa were made during the summer of 1905 on three fields situated respectively under the Colorado, the Salt and the Gila riv- ers. In the case of the field on the Gila river ihe irvigation water used contained a large amount of mine tail- ings from the concentration of copper ores. The “Blanketing” Effect. The results show in general a mark- ed injurious effect from the accumula- tion of sediments in alfalfa fields, but like results from the use of water rich in sediments were not in general ob- served in the case of corn, barley and wheat. In the case of such crops the ground is cultivated in a manner im- possible with alfalfa, and the sediment blanket is broken up, turned under and Incorporated with the soil. In this way the blanketing effect is lessened or entirely dvne away with, and the sediments are left free to exert such fertilizing influence as they may pos- sess. -Settling Basins. As comp: 1 with the natural sedi- ments the mine tailings were of little or no fertilizing value and were fully as injurious from the standpoint of the ph, 1 properties of the soil. Certain us effects which have been popularly aseribed to mine tail- ings are shown to be due to other causes, such as plant diseases of vari- ous kinds. It is believed, however, that sunburning of the crops, which is common {hroughout the southwest, is v to the use of turbid irri- gating . It is stated that “it is probable twat to an increasing extent settling 1 ns will be found a neces- sary adjunct to irrigating systems in the southwes A LIFTING DEVICE. Arrangement For Removing a Wagon Box to a Platform. There are various ways of removing a wagon box from the trucks, and in the following plan, described in Iowa Homestead one of these 1s brought out: An REMOVING THE WAGON BOX. The uprigit pole is 4 by 4 by 14 feet and is set several feet in the ground, so that it will be firm enough in its posi- tion to stand the strain which is re- quired of it. The platform on which the rear end of the wagon box rests when it is to be raised from the wagon may be made any height so as to suit the height of the trucks. Two guy wires should be attached to the pole a foot or so from its top and be secured elght or ten feet in'the rear of the plat- form. The rope which is used to do the lifting is attached at one end of the upright pole near its upper end. From there it continues on to a pulley hooked in a rope which passes around the front end of the wagon box, then back over a pulley in the top of the pole and down to a windlass at the rear end of the platform. When the wagon box is in its final position on the platform, it should stand upright and should be left attached to the rope, so that it can- not be blown down in case of winds. Experience With Manure Spreader. My experience with the manure spreader teaches me that the modern method of applying manure to land is far in advance of the old practice, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap- plying manure with the spreader it is put on uniformly, and all parts of the field are equally benefited. When the manure was dumped in piles, it fre- quently happened that the work of spreading was postponed for some thne, and the result was that much of the fertilizing value of the manure leached out or was lost through fer- mentation. The manure spreader not only saves the plant food elements of the manure, but also saves time and labor, as the work is all done at one time. It does two very important things and does them well—it thor- oughly fines the manure and distrib- utes it evenly, Hornless Cattle. The time will come when horned cat- tle will Le bred only as curiosities or for show purp as fancy breeds of poultry are now. The advantages of the mulleys are so many that the horns must go. It is just as easy to breed cattle without horns as with horns, and it is a great deal easier to take care of them afterward.—Farm Press. Apple Growing. An authority states that -the cause of many failures in apple growing may be found in the bare stems six or eight feet high to the lowest branches. Low hesded trees are usually preferable. In a general way, pruning should be dowy frequently wlth knife and thumb. Knew Him Too Well. The late President Chester A. Arthur, although he was a man of warm friendships, had a high sense of per- sonal dignity that would brook no un- due familiaritles. A lifelong friend of Mr. Arthur, who had accompanied him on one of his hunting trips, was telling an acquaintance some of the incldents of the hunt, “I know It’s the general impression,” he said, “that Mr, Arthur is a cold, self centered sort of man, but it isn’t true. He Is one of the most genial and com- panionable of men when you become well acquainted with him. I thought I already knew him pretty well, but I came to understand him better while on that trlp than ever before.” “I suppose you know him well enough now to call him by his first name,” ventured the other. “On the contrary,” was the rejoinder, “I know him well enough not to call Lim by his first name.”—Youth’s Com- panion. Desert Plants. Plants of the desert, as a rule, pos- sess few leaves, the cactus, for in- stance, being mostly spines. There is a very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small a surface as pos- sible to the dry air. For the same rea- son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suek up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume a vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points—such as the maple—from which the rain drops off. Were the leaves flatter the rain would collect and make them rot. A Surprise. A cook at a cheap boarding house played a little game on a grumbling boarder by serving him with a piece of sole leather instead of beefsteak. “You've changed your butcher, Mrs. Hascher?” said the boarder, looking up at the landlady after sawing two or three minutes at the leather. “Same butcher as usual,” replied the Doarding mistress, with a patronizing smile. “Why?’ “Oh, nothing much,” said the board- er, trying to make an impression on the steak with his knife and fork, “only this piece of meat is the tender- est I have had in this house for some weeks.”—-Strand Magazine. In a German Law Court. A German law court was the scene lately of an amusing incident. The magistrate, a tiresome and long wind- ed person, was deciding a small case in which the plaintiff claimed damages for abuse. “To call a man a ‘pig’ or a ‘dog,’ ” replied the judge, “is certainly an insult, but to say that he is a ‘pig- dog’ is offensive, for nv such animal exists.” The plaintiff ;lired at the bench. “Schweine-Hund!” he remark: ed, with bitter emphasis.—T. P.’s Lon- don Weekly. SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER. CONSTIPATION. I can tell a person who is constipated on sight. Their complexion is pasty or yellow. Their eyes are dull, and they look and feel sleepy. Nowonder they do. The bowels are a sewer. They carry away the poisonous re- fuse. If they dont act the poisonous matter is absorbed by the body, and headaches, dull- ness, bad complex- ion and eventually serious troubles re- sult. There is no better rule for good health than that the bowels should move eyery day at the same hour if possible. Regu- larity can be acquired by making a habit of this. Foolish people neglect this and when chronic constipation effects them they take pills every few days to force the bowels to perform their natural function, As years go on they require more and more pills. This should be stopped. Cooper’s New Discovery will build up the stomach and cause the bowels to act naturally. While taking the medicine get the habit of regularity, then gradually stop taking the medicine. Here is a sample of letters from those who have tried it* “‘For sixteen years I have suffered from stomach and liver trouble, and chronic constipation. 1 had frequent headaches and always felt tired and worn out. I heard of Ceope: l\wv Discovery and began its use, d finished one bottle I was wo proved.
