Hicks* July Forecast. July will open with fair wfeatherloi the most part over the country,/ A Mercury perturbation extends from the 2nd to 12th. embracing two periods of regular storm disturbances— first being from the 2nd to 5th and the second from the 8th to 12th. About the 3rd it will grow much warmer to the westward, the barometer will fall, and general storm conditions will pass eastward over the country from the 3rd to 5th. Moon being at greatest north declination on the 5th indicates that winds will be southerly and that very warm weather will come to a climax about that date. Rising barometer and cooler will follow storm areas, causing more pleasant temperatures, with a brief spurt of quite dool weather immediately after the new moon on the Tth. The Vulcan storm period central on the l>th and blending with the Mercury period up to the 12th, will bring one of the “heated terms'* of the summer. Moon being on the equator on the 12th, heat, low barometer and other storm conditions leading up to that! date, severe electrical storms are apt to culminate on and touching the same. A welcome change to cooler weather is probable for a brief spell behind the storms of this period. Heavy, local rains will visit narrow sections during- these storms, but empty clouds and severe bluster will be the more general rule. About the 14th to ltith will bring falling barometer and much warmer weather, with tendency to local, summer storms generally. We predict that rains will be light, except in rare cases, during all the remainder of July. Threatening clouds and heavy, blustering winds, with lightning and thunder, will aj>pear more or less at the regular periods: buf a general deficiency of diffused, normal rains will be the order, with local ‘’cloudbursts” here and there in regions contiguous to the seacoasts and lakes.

The next regular storm period will fall from the 19th to 22nil. Moon will be furthest south on the 19th and nearest the earth at her full on the 22nd. This will be a period of threatening weather, with some rain and ^heavy bluster. The period will reach its culmination on and touching the 22nd,about which date look for change to cooler and more pleasant weather, the same to reach most sections before the 26th. The reactionary storm days, 2<ith to 28th. will begin with ' rapid change to much warmer in all western parts promptly on the 2"»th, this being the date of moon’s passage over the equator. Another depressed state of the barometer will pass over the country during the 26th. 27th and 28th, breaking into local, summer storms over most parts. Threatening clouds with gusts of wind, lightning and thunder, will be the order during this period. Moderate rains will fall, of course, in many localities, but general complaint of scarcity in rainfall will be heard by the end of July. The lirst stages of a Vulcan storm period will be gathering in western sections as July comes to its close. That is, it will be growing warmer, barometer will be falling with increasing cloudiness and the usual conditions that precede and attend the regular storm periods. These storm conditions will work their way eastward over the continent during the first few days of August. Had Kidney Disease 27 Years. * Mr. G. A. Stillman, a merchant of Tampice, Illinois, writes: ‘‘Foley's Kidney Cure is meeting with wonder- “ ful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify “to its merits. My face today is a living picture of health, and Foley’s Kidney Cure has made it such. I had suffered twenty-seven years with the disease, and today I feel ten years younger than I did one year ago. I can^obtain some wonderful certificates of its medical qualities. J.

The Use of Cyclone Churns. (Purdue University Agrle ill oral Ex peri men ' Station. Newspaper Bulletin No.T«, Jiiik » 21. W«.l From time to time there has beer introduced into tke dairy community unique forms of churns. Hundreds oi varieties have been patented, and tin farming public as a result has suffered from the introduction of many ol these experimental, undesirable churns. Under ordinary conditions of churning modern dairy authorities generally agree that churns should be free of all forms of inside paddles or dashers. This is because where different lots of cream are*-churned together at one time, they are often” unevenly ripened, and butter comes from some of the cream sooner than from the other. The butter which comes first jis more or less injured when struck and rubbed by the paddle or dasher, so that butter of inferior grain or quality is produced. During the past few years, several forms of churns have been introduced in the United State.- that are advertised to bring butter lin a minute and a half.** and remarkable results are promised the farmer who used one of them. These churns are of the shape of an ice cream freezer pail, and contain a set of arms or dashers near the bottom, that are revolved at great speed by a geared!arangement at the top of churn, operated by a crank handle. In April and May tests were made of one of these churns at the Indiana experiment station. The churn was small of capacity, so but eight pounds or one gallon of cream was used in each trial. The trials were made under as favorable conditions as possible to produce good butter. The cream was placed in the churn at a low temperature, ranging in the different trials from 53®to 56. At the farmer temperature the butter came in seven minutes: at the latter, in 15 minutes. At 53 a vield of three

pounds and one ounce of salted worked butter was secured: at 56 two ]>ounds and twel ve ounces was obtained. The amount of butter-fat left in the butter-milk showed that the butter had been quite satisfactorily seperated from the cream. The removal of the butter from this churn however, was the objectional feature. If the but ter warmed up to 62, a very common churning temperature on our farms, it could not be nicely removed from the churn. The paddles beat it considerably.and after giving such careful washing's of the butter as seemed desirable, the contents of the churn smeared in an objectionable manner. In winter in a cold room, the work of the paddles would still be undesirable. This type of churn, for the reason given, is not to be recommended over the standard barrel or box churn, free of all inside devices. The revolution of a simple barrel or box churn.'containing no paddles, in a cool room with cream at 54 to 56 temperature, should give the most satisfactory results to the dairy farmer. C. S. Pljltmb. Director. i The Best Cough Remedy on Earth. Luther. Michigan. February 8. 18b2. Dr. C. D. Warner, Coldwater. Michigan. Dear Sir: 1 am well acquainted with the merits of yoijr White Wine of Tar Syrup. I have used it on several occasions when very hoarse from public speaking and1 when suffering from sore throat. Our postmaster, Mr. Nichoson. had la grippe and it left him with a very bad cough, had spells of coughing every morning for an hour or more." I met him on the street three weeks ago and recommended White Wine of Tar Syrup, which he commenced taking and today he is a well man. A little girl here had coughed all winter and no [ cure could be found. I asked her mother to get White Wine of Tar. She did so and in two weeks the child was cured. As you say, it is the best cough remedy on earth. Please send me six bottles by ex press. Yours most respectfully, Rev. E. L. Odle, Pastor M. E. church. For sale by Paul Bros. > j

A Word of Advice. Say, a word to you. sonny—you little twelve or thirteen-year-old boy who is smoking cigarettes on the sly—what do you want to be when you grow up— a stalwart, healthy, vigorous, broadshouldered man, or a puny, measley, no account, weak-minded dude? If you want to be a man, strong like a man, with hair on your face, brains in your head and muscles on your limbs, you just let those cigarettes alone. If you want to be a thing pitied by your folks, despised by the girls and held in contempt by your fellows, why keep right on smoking the things and end your days in an insane asylum. Cured When Others Flailed. S. A. Ingalls, Crown Point, N. Y., writes: “My wTife suffered from kidney trouble for years. She consulted several physicians and tried a numbei of kidney cures without getting relief. ! She was induced to try Foley’s Kidnej Cure and in less than a week aftei she began using it, she was greatlj improved and three bottles cured her, J. R. Adams & Son. j
