Can’t Miss It ' So many ailments are purely nervous affections, that you can hardly miss it if you try Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It restores nervous energy—and through its invigorating influence upon the nervous system, the organs are strengthened. The heart action is better; digestion improved, the sluggish condition overcome, and healthy activity re-established. "Dr. Miles’ Nervine Is worth its weight in. gold to me. I did not know what ailed me. I had a good physician but got no relief. I could not eat, sleep, work, sit or stand. I was nearly crazy. One day I picked up a paper and the first thing that met my eyes was an advertisement of Dr. Miles* Nervine, I concluded to try it and let the doctor go. and I did so. After taking two bottles I could dress myself. Then I began taking Dr. Mlles’ Heart Cure and now I can work and go out, and have told many the benefit I have received from these remedies and several of them have been cured by it since. I am fifty-nine years old and pretty good yet.’ 7 ANNA R. PALMER, Lewistown, Pa. Dr. Mlles’ Nervine Is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If It falls, ho will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

AT SILO TIME.

Corn Should Not Bo Too Green—Cutting and Putting It Up. Many people make the mistake Pt cutting com too green for silage. At this stage there Is a larger percentage of water, and the silage when taken out has a' large amount of acid, less starch snd sugar and hence is less nutritious. Corn planted In drills, with stalks eight to ten Inches apart will mature a good proportion of ears. Harvesting should not begin until the ears are passing the roasting stage and begin to glaze. Unless the season if exceptionally dry the stalks snd leaves will remain green, but too mature or dry corn is more liable to mold. This may be found, in spots around the sides or more generally over the silo wherever the air has gained access to cause the fungous growth. This condition may be improved by tramping the material carefully in the silo, adding water by sprinkling with a hose, or if this Is not available direct a stream of water into the blower or elevator sufficient to saturate the cut fodder. This moisture assists the material to settle and acts as a seal to keep out the air. There should be labor and teams enough to keep the cutter running steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting a large amount of corn beforehand, bailing and piling near the machine to be handled over again. Adm to harvest at the least expense a ton. This will be accomplished as follows: If hand cutting Is practiced, cut and hand directly to the man loading, not throwing on the ground In bundles, which will require an extra handling. Lot each load come to the table of the machine tn turn, handing the-corn directly to the feeder. If the corn is long and heavy an extra man is needed on the table to assist Power should be ample and in proportion to the size of the cutter. The blower is replacing the elevator machine, economizing space and largely doing away with the stopping of an entire crew to repair the, elevator. If the corn is heavy and the stalk large cutting in half inch to one inch pieces

FILLING THE SILO.

will have the tendency to partially shred the stalk, and there will be no butts refused by the animals. The material in the silo should be kept level and well trampled, especially around the sides of the silo, and it pays to have sufficient help for this work. Where considerable silage is put up It pays to have a corn harvester and binder, which economises hand labor. The foregoing timely advice is given by Dr. G. A. Billings in American Agriculturist, and the cut shows part of the outfit used at the New Jersey experiment station in filling the silo for fall and winter feed. The source of power for running the cutter and blower is a gasoline engine, which gives very great satisfaction.

The Popular Cantaloupe.

Scarcely any branch of horticultural work has Increased of late years like the growing of cantaloupes. All markets handle them and are glad* to extend their season by getting early and late supplies from all sections of the country. Many varieties of melons and cantaloupes were formerly seen in our markets, but present requirements have banished almost all but the Netted Gem, or, as it is popularly known today, the Rocky Ford. This cantaloupe, besides possessing the finest texture and highest flavor, is alzhost round and is thus easily packed. Recent seed selection in this strain has produced a very fine fruit, heavily netted, regular in form and weighing about a pound each.—W. N. Hutt

Utilizing Skim Milk.

There are many fruit farms on which the flock of fowls is becoming every year a large factor. The byproducts of these are utilized to som_ extent for the poultry, but not so much as the byproducts of the dairy farm. There is no better way of utilising skim milk than by feeding to poultry, suggests Kansu Farmef. When this skim milk Is allowed to sour and Is made into curd for the fowls it is still more extensively available. There is no byproduct that need go to waste when you have plenty of chickens around. They are the’ scavengers of the farm and make lots of waste material into’ good fresh eggs.

Varieties of Oata.

A» an average for two trials, 1905 and 1906, the varieties producing the highest yields at the Kansas experiment station were the Red Texas, 54-37 bushels; Silverine, 52.18 bushels; White Tartar, 51.97 bushels; Danish, 48.08 bushels; Kherson, 47.27 bushels; Sixty-day, 46.75 bushels; Minnesota No. 202, 46.57 bushels, and Swedish Select, 45.16 bushels per acre respectively. The season of 190$ was especially favorable for the production of oats. x.

His Magnum Opus.

By LULU JOHNSON.

Copyrighted, 1907. by M. M. Cunningham.

Poindexter pulled the sheet of paper from the typewriter carriage and added It to the pile In the wire basket beside him. He caught up the last few pages and reread them with a glow of pride, for he knew that at last he had written a story of flath and blood instead of the mildly innocuous romance* that had added to his bank account but not to his fame. Ever since that night six months before, when he had coipe back to his darkened home to find the note on the dresser of his room notifying him that Agnes had gone away with the man he had considered his best friend, he

AT LAST ONLY THE BLACKENED SHEETS REMAINED.

had worked with feverish energy upon, the novel. He had taken little Elsie and had crossed the continent with her that she should be far removed from all who might allude to her mother. As they sat in the car, the child lost in wonder at the constantly shifting scene, he had planned the story, and once he had made his new home he had set to work. All the bitterness of his heart he had written into the book. It was the plain tale of his own experience, told with the simple directness of one who feels deeply, except that into the last chapter he had written an ending such as he wished that she might suffer. Almost gloatingly he drew the picture of remorse and shame that followed the desertion, and now reading it over he shuddered at the evil picture his own fierce desire had conjured up. For years he had sought a theme that should lead him to his great accomplishment. Agnes, too, had sought to help him, but their lines had fallen in the pleasant places, and he wrote things that were salable, but not great. Then she had left him for Tredgar, a man who had done things, and his Inspiration had come. He knew that he had done well, that this book would bring him fame and opportunity, and he smiled as he gathered the sheets together and prepared them for mailing. He had kept in touch with his eastern connections, and Blauvelt, the publisher, had asked for the first reading. He was bent over the desk writing the address when there came the patter of bare feet across the uncarpeted floor, and he looked up from his work. “What is it, daughter?” he asked as he took the little nlghtgowned figure in his lap. "I was lonesome,” explained Elsie. “Ton didn’t come to kiss me good night like you said you would, daddy. I waited anc waited and waited. Then I just had to come. Is you most done, daddy f "All done, dear,” he said, with an affectionate pat on the package at his elbo v. “I was so Interested that I even forgot myAlttle Elsie.” “Jmd it’s going to make you a great big man?” she demanded. “It’s going to make you famous and happy, dad<iy?” “Famous and happy,” he repeated. “It’s my great work, dear.” "I’m so glad,” she whispered contentedly, patting the pale cheek, wasted to thinness by his sorrow and absorption in his work. “Some day when I get a big girl, a great big girl, J’U read it and tell all the other girls that my daddy Wrote that great book, and they’ll all be mad because their papas can’t write books like my papa can.” Poindexter shivered and drew the little form closer to him. Not once in all these months had he thought of that result He had worked steadily with one purpose—of holding this woman who had been Ms wife up to shame. He had given no thought to the child. Not once had be realised that there would come a day when she would read with undemanding tiie story of her mother’s disgrace. He had let her think that Agnes was dead. Simple statement sufficed the childish mind, but the day would come when perhaps the curtain might be drawn aside. Some old friend from the east might seek him out and unwittingly betray his secret to the girl, and she would read with horror the story

of her mother’s fall painted In words of bitterness such as only wounded pride and dead love can conjure. She would see her mother’s soul in all its 'nakedness, and his would be the hand that had thrown aside the garments of time and charity. “Are you sleepy, daddy?” Poindexter roused himself. “Not a bit” he declared, “What makes you think that, daughter?” “You are so still,” she explained, "and you don’t talk.” “Daddy’s a little tired,” he explained. “Shall I tell you a good night story?” The child nodded her head contentedly, and Poindexter began a fantastic tale. He had a fertile fancy, and these good night stories were glorious moments in the child’s life. There were times when she stole softly about the house lest she Interrupt his writing, but when bedtime came and she lay curled up in his lap while his rich voice recited weird tales of giants and fairies and dragons she had him for her very own and was content with the sacrifice. As they neared the climax his voice grew soft, and when at last the end came he waited for the usual applause of “That tAs lovely, daddy.”* Instead, soft lips brushed his cheek and the tired child sank oft to sleep. Tenderly he bore her to her bed and tucked her tn as gently as a woman might have done. Reverently htwiressed his lips against the rosy mouth and tiptoed from the room. The library seemed eold and cheerless when he returned. The child’s visit had but emphasized his loneliness. and he sat blankly at the table on which Jay the package with its address but half completed. He swung his chair about that he might not see it; but, though he had turned his back upon it, the script still danced before his mental vision. He could still see the uncompleted tail of the “y” he had been writing when Elsie had come in and the ink blotch in the corner where the pen had rolled against it. A dozen times he half turned to complete the address, and as often there came to his memory the words of his daughter. Some day she would read the book with a clear vision, and perhaps she would understand. There is always some one to disillusion with awkward speech. Perhaps she might never know how true to life the story was. Then again some chance remark might bear In upon her the truth. Agnes by her action had forfeited all right to his forbearance, but there was still his duty toward his child. It seemed like murder to destroy this masterpiece, and yet—lie went over every incident of his life since his marriage. She had married him, ambitious for his future, and he, utterly content, had been happy In his moderate success save for those moments when her urgings spurred his ambition. One purpose In writing this very book wks to show her, when it was too late, that he could accomplish those successes for which she had longed; that he could write as brilliantly as the man for whom she had left him. The east glowed with the first blush of the dawn when at last he rose from the chair and threw aside the curtains to- let in the morning light and the fresh air. Slowly he crossed the room to the empty fireplace and laid the package in the grate. A tiny tongue of flame crept along the wrapper, biting deeper as It grew. At last only the blackened sheets remained, and he turned away. “For Elsie’s sake,” he whispered and added, with a sign, “and for Agnes’ too. God pity her.” His magnum opus was found not In accomplishment, but in renunciation.

Korea's Seven Wonders.

The seven wonders of Korea are: (1) The marvelous mineral spring of Klushanto, one dip in which is a sovereign cure for all the ills that human flesh is heir to. (2) The double springs which, though far apart, have a strange, mysterious affinity. According to Korean belief, there is a connection underground, through which water ebbs and flows like the waters of the ocean, in such a way that only one spring is full at a time- The water possesses a wonderful sweetening power, so that whatever is cooked therein becomes good and palatable. (3) The cold wind cavern, whence comes a never ceasing wind so piercing that nothing can withstand it and so powerful that the strongest man cannot face it. (4) The Indestructible pine forest, the trees of which grow up again as fast as they are cut down. (5) The floating stone, a massive block that has no visible support, but, like Mohammed's coffin, remains suspended. (G) The warm stone, situated on the top of a hill and said to have the peculiarity of spreading warmth and heat all around it (7) A drop of the sweat of Buddha, for thirty paces round which no flower or vegetation will grow, nor will birds or other living things pass over it »

Men and Gossip.

“When it comes to discretion, if there is any inequality of the sexes we fancy men have the disadvantage.” remarks a London paper. “If there is a scandal in society, a dark otoud overhanging the ministry, an ominous rumor about a newspaper or a bank, where is it flrat discussed? Why, in the men’s clubs. Thence it reaches the female gossips, and if they* in turn mention what *my husband heard at the dub’ they are at once setTfown as scandal mongers, while the originators of the scandal go scot free. In the country houses, too, are not the men as ready to tell tales u the women, as eager to bring forward the latest news, political, social or financial? Many women let their tongues run on, it is true, but so do many men.”

Sheep are very dainty animals, and for this reason their breeding troughs should be kgpt clean. See that the chickens are not roosting on the racks) and brush all sheep droppings from the troughs before mealing time.

For a New Asparagus Bed.

Select a warm and rich piece of ground. If possible a little off one side, manure it well this fall, then plow it deeply in early spring and set some good strong plants, say of the Palmetto variety, so as to have a year later a new plantation to take the place of the old one. Fall planting is practicable, but I prefer spring planting.—T. G. In Fann and Fireside.
