FARMERS PLOW FOR CORN

\\ .ti'tii Went Iter I’rovcs IPem IfhMid To Puliuiiii ('oiint.t Corn Itaisers— W ill Mate Groiiiiil in (itKid Condition for I'lanlin" When S|trin;t ('imies. Wliether it is really sprinn or not. a trip over the country now, according to people who have been traveling lately, makes the traveler think more of the months of April and May than of .January. Nearly everywhere the farmers are plowing the ground for their spring crops. Many Putnam County farmers have already tilled several acres and are still working as fast us they can fear good weather will not continue. It is very seldom that the warm weather during the winter lasts long enough to permit the farmer to plow any ground but this year they will have the soil in fine shape when the regular lime for plowing eomes and will thus gain much time. Most of the ground which is being plowed now is being prepared for corn.

OSTEOPATHIC VOTES. Thitl You May Know of Osteopathy Ami W hitt it i" Doing for II it inanity. To show the importance of obeying Nature's laws whose tendency is to heal all disease when her vital forces are properly directed by what is conceded to he her best helper, osteopathy Is th object to these notes. The desire and ambition of every person is to possess health, and many sick people would get well if they only knew the osteopathic way. It Is the drugleas way; the better way. and leaves no drug habit in its wake, because it is In accord with Nature’s plan. The greatest reforms, inventions, discovering and improvements in the world’s history have been forced to contend with Ignorance, prejudice and scepticism, .lust so with Nature’s band-maid. Osteopathy. Site lias been mistreated by the ignorant and the prejudiced. Those who will not investigate the reasonablenesB of osteopathy and the many good and generous gifts coming to afflicted humanity through its skillful and accurate application are both blind and deaf and have only themselves to blame if they continue sick and miserable. Do not be counted with those who are too stubborn to change their minds. If you are anxious to improve and struggling to get well, do not be held back in the throes of misery by foolish prejudice, an.l scepticism. If you delay overlong the undertaker is apt to overtake you before you can see the osteopaths. They “have the goods” and are deliver them every Tuesday and Friday at 11" South Jackson Street, Greencastle. Dr. .1. F. Spaunhurst will give Ills personal time and skill to the practice here next Friday. Those in quest of health should not fail to avail themselves of this opportunity to learn how their health account stands without charge. The most timid or modest should have no hesitation to take osteopathic treatment. Lady attendant to assist ladies.

FIBRE SATURATION. The Effect of Moisture Upon Wood Is Easily Perceptible.. The effect of water in softening organic tissue as in wetting a piece of paper or a sponge, it well known, and so is the stiffening effect of drying The same law applies to wood. By different methods of seasoning two pieces «jf the same stick may tie given very different degrees of strength. Wood in its green state contains moisture in the pores of the cells, like honey in a comb, and also in the substauce of the cell walls. As seasoning begins the moisture in the pores is first evaporated. This lessens the weight of the' wood, but does not atfect its strength. It is not until the moisture in the substance of the cell wails is drawn upon that the strength of the wood begins to increase. Scientifically, this point is known as the "fiber-satura-tion point.” From this condition to that of absolute dryness tue gain in the strength of wood is somewhat remarkable. lu the case of spruce the strength is multiplied four timeir; Indeed, spruce, in small sizes, thoroughly dried in an oven, is as strong wetgnt for weight, as steel. Even after the reabsorption of oisture, when the wood is again exposed to the air the strength of the sticks is still from aO to 150 per cent greater than when it is green. When, in drying. Use nber-satura-tion 1 .nut is pu J, the strength of wood Increases as drying progresses, in accordance with a d ' 11 te law, and this law can be Msed to in. slate from the strength of a stick at one degree of moisture what its strength will be at any other degree. Manufacturers, engineers and builders need to know not only the strength but the weakness of the materials they use. anil for this reason they are quite as much interested in knowing how timbers are affected »y moisture as they are in knowing how they are weakened by knots, checks, crossgrain and other defects. it is clear that, where timbers are certain to be weakened oy excessive luoistiri they will have to tie used in larger sizes for safety. So far. engineers of timber tests, while showing that small pieces gained greatly in strength, do not advise counting on the same results in the seasoning of large tiivbers. owing to the fact that the large timbers usually found in the market have defects which are sure to counterbalance the gain from seasoning.—"The Strength of Wood as Influenced by Moisture, Department of Agriculture.

Plucky Puma Cub. Hissing like a sullen geyser, the gnat, puma mother crouched with flaming eyes. Ridge of her tawny back brushed up in rage, tail a-switch, tcel sinews rigid beneath soft skin, sha glared at her four cubs in the cage corner. A fluffy ball of spotted fur spiawled on unsteady legs across toward her. Out shot a mighty forepaw; the baby was hurled suddenly hack among his cowering brother and sisters. “Nasty temper, ’ 1 remai ked to the keeper; "has she been long like that?” “Startl'd this forenoon,’’ he shook his head in anxiety. "1 don’t like it. i ll ha\e to separate them, 1 fear.” The unnatural mother commenced pacing her prison, sparHng viciously at her offspring in passing. Three huddled together in a pititul heap, but one stood up and defied her. A jungle terror in miniature, his tiny rage was manifest. Tensely alert before his trembling mates, he shifted warily to meet each blow, dodging, spitting, striking out an awkward paw at tne great thrusts. They don’t turn on their cubs often. Only knew it once betore. You notice, mein Herr, her claws are not out when she strikes. That may come Alien we will lose some promising baliics here.” The young German keeper was greatly distressed I returned in the morning to see how the affair had progressed. Entering the Frankfurt Thiergarten, I found the lion house. My friend stood In the empty corridor looking into the cage, sleek forms shifted restlessly on every side a pale light came from above, the place was close with a heavy odor. He greeted me mournfully. “The little beggar was too spirited. She got him Iasi night. Just a second in her paws and the texiderniist won’t attempt to stuff the skin.” The remaining ciihs peered wonderingly at us from an adjoining cage, the murderess paced In silence, hut her eyes were alive with a strange fascinating light. The tragedy had stirred the rows of imprisoned beasts. An uncanny howl in a chilling key came from the leopards, the lion’s deep throated guttural sent unwelcome quivers through one’s nerves. I left the building, relieved to Teel the breeze and see the sunlight. Poor little chap of a puma, he surely had tremendous pluck!” — Travel Magazine.

PATTY SEEKS A GOOD PARTY But Gets Little Help From Her Father and Brother. Miss Patty had long had political aspirations, and yearned to understand all about parties, platforms and planks. She had never joined a woman’s chib for Patty lived and flourished in a town where the women were all domestic and never indulged in higher intellectual food than that afforded by the weekly sewing einle. Patty received the finishing touches to a sound education at a private school for young women, after graduating at a good Methodist seminary in Namelessville, and returned to 'he paternal roof thoroughly equipped tas she supposed) for all the varied and complex duties of life. Patty had vague longing in her innocent mind for some knowledge beyond that required in the schoolroom. She argued to herself that of course men who had to prepare for the arduous duty of voting would know all about parties aud theii platforms. Visions came to her mind of the noble principles and high -standard of the best party, and she felt that even if she were denied the great and sublime right of casting her vote, at least she would understand thoroughly the principles 'underlying each party, and cast her sympathy and influence with that party which stood for right and justice. In such an exigency as this to whom should a timid maiden, not out of her teens, turn hut to her father? So Patty went to papa, and said, “Papa, I want to know the difference between a Democrat, and a Republican." “Want to know what! my daughter.” "The difference between a Democrat and a Republican." Papa peeled curiously over his goldbowed glasses for a raement, and then said: “Ahem! that is a very complicated subject, my dear, very complicated, merely a difference in platforms, that’s all; never eovild explain such sutijects to a woman any way. By the way, you left lumps in the heels of my stockings last week when you darned them. I would advise your mother to give you a few more lessons in mending,” and after this unaccountable switch from Miss Patty's track, he subsided into the depths of his newspaper. Patty tried to give him a reproachful glance, but the ominous crackling of the sheet warned her that site could look for no more light from that quarter; so. heaving a regretful sigh, she sought out her big brother. “Henry, will you please tell me the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?” "Why, sure, ask me a harder one. The Democrats are all liars and scoundrels, and the Republicans are all thieves and robbers. The “But those other parties, Henry, the populists, the prohibitionists, the socialists, sure some off them must lie honest. Tills new wing of the Republican party, who carry little flags sticking from their pockets, and talk about the little red school house, indeed, Henry, they must lie patriots.” “My dear girl," declared Henry In a parental manner. “They are all good, all honest, all are right I would advise you to vote for the Republicans for they believe In yellow money and protection. Or vote for the Democrats for they believe in free coinage, free trade, free rum and the breaking up of the trusts which the Republican party nurses and feeds with Mellin’s food. Or vote the prohibition ticket and rid the land of intemperance; for when they elect their candidates •There’ll be no more rum drunk then.’ Or vote for the populists, for when the government owns the railroads, the telegraph, the mines and controls business generally we'll have prosperity. Or vote for the socialists, for when they hold the balance of power they’ll take from the rich and give to the poor and we won’t need any soup houses, nor any church fairs ' But Patty stuffed her pretty fingers in her ears and ran away, for she realized that in all Henry said he hadn't told her the difference between a Democrat and a Republican. As a last resort Miss Patty went to the editor, acting on the generally understood principle that editors know everything. "Mr. Editor, will you please tell me the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?'” The great man ran his hand through his hair, overturned a pile of exchanges, upset the glue pot and spilled the ink. then he said: “The Democrats think gold money good, silver money better, but aiiy kind good enough. The Republican scornn to ask what the money is, but only shouts ’more.’ The Democrats scorns and despises trusis because the men concerned in them are all Republicans The Republicans want change in office, and change in their pockets, and they’re going to have it. too.” Miss Patty stood aghast, and then cried in horror and despair, “But where is that great and gixid party to which honest men and patriots lielong?” And then that editor laughed an Inhuman laugh aud said, "Ixtug years ago Diogenes took a lantern and searched for an honest man. You had better take a garden rake and half a dozen headlights and look for your great and good par ” But Patty had fled, and now when politics are discussed in h(*r presence she listens with the benign sadness which is born of superior wisdom — Springfield Republican.
