Upon arrival there, she found that she had lost her watch, a small affair, which she thought had dropped on the dining room floor, which was covered with a rug, so she wrote to the hired girl at home as follows: “Let me know if you find anything on the rug in the dining room.” A few days later she received a letter from the hired girl, saying: “Dear Madam: I was to let you know if I found anything on the dining room rug. This is what I found this morning: Thirteen empty beer bottles, nineteen cigar butts, five cigarette ends, fourteen blue and thirty-one red poker chips, thirty- six hundred matches and one pink satin slipper.” The wife hired an auto and was home in just 27 min- utes.—Northome Record.

Of the 1,500 mem- bers who constituted the regiment about 150 are alive; but of these, who are scattered through the United States, fifty-seven were present yes- terday. “The first Minnesota was the first volunteer regiment to respond to President Lincoln’s call for troops, and on the crucial day at Gettysburg achieved costly fame by its dashing bravery.” Ninety per cent of the “‘Fighting First” have been taken away either in battle or by death since the regiment first marched to the front. Death will cut a wide swath in the remaining ten per cent before the fiftieth anniversity next year. Our old veterans will not be with us much longer.

The old man took no notice of him for a time, but, occupying the usual five minutes in considering the move, quietly asked the youth to remove his hat (not more than a six and a half size), then sub- stituted his own—which was a large one and went well down over the young braggart’s nose—and, casting his eye around the company, said scornfully, ‘That’s his measure!’ The company enjoyed the retort so much that the youth was glad to make a hurried exit.” The Servant and the Factory Woman. Much as I loathe the factory system, it scores in some respects above scul- lerles.

Bemidji women know how the aches and painshat come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the stealthy approch of diabetes, dropsy and Brights diseas. Doan’s Kidney Pills permanently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of it in a Bemidji woman’s words: Mrs. A Van Vard, 1218 Beltrami avenue, Bemidji, Minn,, says: “'I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with satisfactory tesults and can truth- fully recommend them to anyone suff ering from kidney complaint. For some time I had a dull pain in 'the small of my back which caused me much discomfort. Other symptoms showed that my kidneys were disord- ered and were the cause of my. suffering. I at length saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised for such complaints and deciding to try them, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I used them carefully as directed and the pains soon dis« appeared and my kidneys became strong. I am confident that the relief 1 received from the use ‘of Doan’s Kidney Pills will ‘prove ‘permanent.” . For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Oluon, Extensien Division, ¥ Minnesota Agricuitural - Col * lege. i + LR R i i i i S i ‘With the approdch:of “haying ttme," there should be, first of all, an over- hauling of all the haying tmplements to see that they are in shape to do good work when the time comes. It is of prime importance in making hay to see that it is done at the proper time and with as little delay. as possible. Grass should be cut for hay at the time that it will furnish the most palat- able -and mutritious hay. The ‘enly thing that should be allowed to delay haying; beyond this point, is prevail- ing bad weather. With elover, the cutting should be commenced as soon a8 the first blossoms turn brown, and with timothy just as the “blow” is fall- 18 practiced there is a hasty drying up of the leaves and considerable loss of them when the hay is handled. The stems also become stiff, and when the hay is put into the cock it does not make a coek that sheds rain readily. There can ‘be no fixed method of curing hay, a8 no two seasons are ex- actly alike, At best, only ‘a-few gen- eral principles can be lald down, and these fitted into the farm conditions and the prevailing weather. It is-ex- ternal moistare in the form of ‘dew or rain that damages hay while it is cur- ing. & 1t 18 not a wise practice to start the mower while grass is wet, nor to put hay in the stack or mow while it is damp from dew or rain, In the case of heavy hay, especlally the clovers, there must be some turning of the hay with either a tedder or side-delivery rake, in order to get it'to cure evenly. It is well to.put it into. the windrow comparatively green, and after a day’s curing in the windrow, it should be put into small, well make cocks. It is generally left in‘ the cock one or two days before putting-into the stack I I Alfalfa with cocks capped %o protect’ from:the sun and rain. ing. If the amount of hay to.be put up {8 quite large for the help at hand, the cutting should be commenced earlier, in order that the last portion of the cutting does not become ‘too ripe. The curing of hay is also very im- portant if one wishes to have good hay. While sunshine and a-good cir- culation of air make good “haying” weather, it is not a wise plan to com- pletely cure hay in the swath or the DANGEROUS-HOUSE FLY. 1t Is a Menace to Health and Should Be Extermindted.: House flies, now called typhoid flies, because they carry the germs of typhoid fever ‘and are responsible for many deaths in the human family, also carry the germs of consumption and some other diseases. They are a menace to the health of our families. They breed in fresh horse manure and in other kinds of filth; one fe- male fly may lay 150 eggs or more; they infect our food and drink with germs. The house should be screened to keep them out. The use of sticky fly paper is desirable, or- a poison harmless to-man; made by putting two tablespoonfulls of formaldehyde (for- malin) in a pint of water. They are attracted to this and die after drink- ing it. Horse manure, during the summer, should be kept where flies do not have access to it. This can be done by spreading directly on the fields or pastures. Garbage cans should be closely covered. No house- keeper will allow the filthy fly in her house, not only on account of its un- clean habits, but because its pres- 6 s T Witth, e o e Soavvead The above Iliustration suggests the need of a-vigorous campalgn against the dangerous ‘fly. ence is a menace to ‘the ‘health- ot her family.

The expense of good covers need not exceed fifteen cents apiece, and with reasonable care, they should give five to six years of service. Set the jug of drinking water in this. When you get off the binder for a drink give each horse a pail of water from the barrel. The water in the jug will taste better. After a hard day’s work in.the field the horses will enjoy a few moments to roll in the yard or about the straw pile. Your horses will scratch them- selves mere in-five minutes by rolling than; you can with a curry comb in ‘thirty minutes.- It is pleasanter for you and for the horses.

Great Benefit to Soll. ‘Where clover has been grown throughout the state, crops rotated, live stock kept and farm manure used on the soil, experiments at the Min- nesota Experiment Station and'a num- ber of farms where a record of experi- ments have been kept show that an equlibrium as to nitrogen has been maintained.
