Attack Like Tigers. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack di* sease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, boils, eczema, saltrheum and and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail. This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poisons from the blood. “They are the best purifier,” writes C. T.

LIME ON THE FARM.

B««t Way to Test It Is to Try It on Small Patch. Lime seems to be needed on parts of most farms. It corrects sourness, mellows heavy soils, helps light soils to retain moisture, favors the growth of clover and alfalfa and checks the increase of some plant diseases. The most certain way, according to Professor Brooks of the Massachusetts experiment station, to find out whether lime will help the soil is to try it r a small plot in a field to be tested. Apply twenty pounds of fresh selected lime to two square rods. Beets are a good test crop, as they grow better upon a limed plot If the soil needed lime. An average of about one ton- of lime to an acre will usually be enough. It can be used at any season when the land is not occupied by crops and when It can be plowed. It may be planted broadcast and worked into the soil with a harrow.

Professor Brooks has been looking up various sources of lime in New England markets, and be finds that it varies considerably in cost and desirability. Quicklime is really the cheapest form, because when buying it the purchaser does not have to pay for water that is taken up when slaking lime. One hundred pounds of quicklime contains as much essential lime as 132 pounds of slaked lime, thirty-two pounds being moisture from the air, and it contains as much as 178 pounds of raw limestone. > Lime can be slaked in small heaps by applying just water enough to wet the lumps, using .about two pailfuls of water to 100 pounds of lime. After a few days it will have crumbled to a powder. Most farmers slake the lime before applying, as the unslaked lime is very disagreeable to use, even with a manure spreader protected with burlap. Finely ground limestone or marl works well on light soils, but ground limestone costs more for the results obtained as compared with quicklime. Sometimes refuse lime from tanneries is a very cheap source of lime, and it can usually be had for the hauling.

MAKE FARMHOUSE FIT.

Don't Build Compact City Dwelling on Your Spreading Green Fields. In our great cities land is dear and houses must be adapted to small areas. Architects have studied how to get the most house on a limited space because the man of moderate means cannot afford to buy a big lot City houses are built on these condensed plans and are very well adapted to such conditions. But we are sorry to see that some of these city house plans are being taken into the country. When set into the wide space of a farm they look out of harmony with their surroundings. The farmhouse should have all the comforts and conveniences of the city house, but it should not look like the city house. It should be so designed

A COMFORTABLE DWELLING.

as to fit into its surroundings. The old fashioned farm borne, with its air of comfort and repose, is in better taste than the modern bobtailed city house is on the farm. Farmhouses can be tasteful and adapted to their location without being expensive, and it pays to see that they are so. A tasteful home has a sale value in the country just as it has anywhere, and farmhouses should be built With this idea in view. Above all this, however, is the pleasure of living in a tasteful country home, one that is adapted to its purpose and fitted to its location. There is a satisfaction here that is not reckoned in dollars, but is, worth trying to get.—National Stockman and Farmer.

NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION.

JAMES M. HALL AG AN. JOSEPH HALLAGAN, Executors. Aug. 15, 1911. A Good Chick Feed. For a good cake for chicks as well aa fowls (and also for dogs) take about a quart of cornmeal, a pint of wheat bran and a pint of fiour. Mix with sufficient sour milk to make batter. Add j two teaspoonfuls of soda stirred up in a little sour milk and salt to taste. The batter must not be made too thin, nor should the cakes be allowed to scorch. One big cake laid on the floor each day will make the little chicks grow beyond belief.

Farm Philosophy. Education is our hope for better agriculture. Let us advance every interest that will help the cause of education. Progress in farming is an individual problem from the solution of which the state, the nation and the world must benefit. When planting trees about the house set them quite a distance off, say thirty feet. Let the sunshine in and save doctor's bills. One of the first considerations in improving country life and in reducing the drudgery of farm work Is the extensive use of Improved farm machinery. Study your conditions and examine the implement catalogues for the tools you need. 2 Efficient implements am the farmer’s capital and usually bring profits when properly used. Removing the Barrier "Do you think it will rain?’ “I know it won’t because I have my umbrella along.” “But somebody is liable to steal it, and then we will get wet” Hopeful John. “John is going to marry a rich girl.” “Good for John!
