To make money out of heep they must be considered as something more than mere scavengers. Clean, straight fence rows, and feaces In good repair, add materially to the appearance and value of the farm.

She will raise a colt each year, and it will sell for a snug sum In the fall, remarks American Agriculturist. With a little extra care the mare will do as much work as any horse. This Is the kind that the average farmer wants and is the kind he should got fw his own benefit. Have at least one good brood mare on the farm; rals'? your own horses and some to selb Handling Manure. Kansas Experiment Station has found that the waste by exposure in 6lx mouths amounts to fully one-half of the gross manure. Cornell Experiment Station says : "If the question Is how to get the best results from a given amount of manure there is no question but that it may be done by moving it to the field and spreading It ou the land as Boon as possible." Professor Voorhces, of New Jersey, claims that more th'an one-half of tho total annual manure product of thJ cow may be lost by exposure of less than four months. The manure should bo Bpread on the land as soon as possible after made Corn Selection. A steady Increase iu the number of ears per piant borne by rotter's lixcelBior sweet corn has resulted from selecting setd with that end in view. In 1901, the fourth year of the experiment, but the first one in which sufficiently detailed records were kept to show the percentages only 35 percent of the plants bore more than one ear. In 1003 1)0 per cent bore more than one ear, the highest number from a single plant being thirteen. Selecting seed from the lower car produced on the stalk did not give as gcod results as selection from the uppci ear, which is doubtless due to the fact that such lower cars are often poorly developed. llhode Island Experlmcnt Station nee In Fall. Unite the weak and quecnlcss colonies, and feed all that need it, before the weather becomes too cold. Trof. D. Everett Lyon, in the Farm Journal, Bays that as a rule colonics wintered outdoors will not require more than twenty-five pounds of stores if properly protected, while those wintered In the cellar can get along with about half as much. To ten pounds of granulated sugar add one gallon boiling water, and you bavo nn ideal feed;, or else with hot water thin some ripe extracted lioney. When the food is ir.ken up, remove the feeder and fix the colony for the winter. In uniting weak colonies, always save the best queens. This should be done after the fall flow of honey. Make the union late In the evening; tmoke the colonies to be united. Select the best combs and alternate them in the hive. Frosen Milk. In Sweden and Denmark has been created a new industry that deserves notice. It consists in collecting at a central station the milk from farms within a fclven radius, pasteurizing it at about 75 degrees centigrade, and then freezing It at a temperature of minus 10 degrees. The blocks of frozen milk are placed in stout fvooden casks holding about double the , volume of the blocks and the extra space 13 filled with sterilized milk, after which the casks are sealed hermetically. As they are perfectly full and are kept tool by the block of frozen milk, which melts very slowly, and as shocks of transportation are powerless to churn the milk into butter, it may thuj be preserved at least twenty day?; so that the Danes and Swedes are now sending successfully to their neighbor and even further whole cargoes oi" milk. IlSddlnjc lIos of Worms. Hogs affected with worms in the Intestines run down In condition, become very thin and lank, back Is arched, eyes dull, refuse feed, walk stiffly and appear lifeless. The worms may he very numerous, in bad cases completely filling the Intestines. The pigs die if not treated. To secure the best results, affected hogs should receive individual treatment. Twenty-four hours before administering treatment, very little feed should be given them. Then give tho following medicine as a drench to each ,100-pound hog; larger or smaller hogs should receive a dose in proportion: Oil of turpentine, 4 drachms; liquor ferri dialysatus, half drachm; raw linseed oil, 0 ounces. If necessary repeat the dose In four days, advises a bulletin of the Kansas Agricultural College. Alcohol Vs. Gasoline. . "The Comparative Value of Alcohol and Gasoline for Light and Power," Is the name of Bulletin No. 93, which Is

Just being Issued by the agricultural engineering section of the Iowa Experiment Station at Ames. In the spring of 190G the national Congress passed an act which became a law January 1, 1007, permitting the withdrawal from bond, tax free, domestic alcohol when it was denatured or rendered unfit for human consumption by the addition of certain materials repugnant to the taste and smell. The passage of this law has aroused much speculation into the possibilities of this new fuel. The experiment station compared gasoline and alcohol with four objects In view, viz.: (1) the heat value of the fuels; (2) their economy in the production of light; (3) their economy in the production of power and (4) the relative safety of garoline and alcohol for general use. Tae conclusion reached in these experiments will provi very Interesting to every render. AVeeil Crops. Even' successful farmer finds td.t

he must assort his mastery In no uncertain way over the wee!!1?, these rebels of the vegetable world, or they will wo:; havoc In his little domain and eventually his undoing. The battle with them must be fought unceasingly, for they are constantly on the watch to take advantage of every opportunity, remarks n writer In American Cultivator. "We'll fight It out right here if it takes all summer!" may well be the threat of the farmer to the weed OTOp. The great -difficulty is that a great many give up Ihe fight with the weeds altogether too soon. The first attack! art fierce and spirited enough, but they soon grow Indifferent and abandoned them altogether. Now, the fact is that weeds are of a great many different varieties, whlh Feom to be designed to germinate nt different seasons, one ppeoles following en the heels of another, occupying the ground as soon as their predecessors have ripened their s?eds. Tho result Is that weeding, vigorous at first, but soon abandoned, leaves tho way open and unobstructed for the later varieties to flourish unhampered, and so they are never conquered or reduced, but their reign Is more firmly established from year to year. Then, again, many who wield the hoe vigorously are altogether too careless In their dealing with the weeds outside of the cultivated fields, allowing them to flourish unrestrained about the manure heap nil summer and scatter their seed broadcast upon It, to be advantageously planted when it !s drawn out and strt-vn upon the fields In the spring. Tti4 Stravrberry Tied. It will ba time well spent to stop other work lang enough to clean out the strawberry bed. Weeds keep up a strong fight for existence, and it Is remarkable nltb what persistence they struggle for a foothold late in the fall, and unless destroyed they will be there In early spring to pre-empt and occupy the soil. The vin?s should be so spread that they form a perfect matted row with a path from 12 to IS Inches wide on each side. If the rows have become too close, part of the plants should be cut out. This Is best done now. It is betrer to cultivate the noil so frequent ly that the space between the rows will net er be covered with runners. The noil should be loose and mellow between the rows. Upon the same principle that a Koad frwzes harder than a plowed field, a berry patch that is packed hard will freeze much, harder than ore which Is kept mellow. A mulch of some kind Is of grcat Importance for protection. It should be put on after the ground Is frozen, and left until after the danger of hard freezing In the spring. This will keep the plants from "heaving." which Is the result of alternate freezing and thawing, and the blossoms are held back long enough In the spring to e&?!re the usual frosts. Marsh grass Is the best kind of mulching, as It lies closer than grain straw, but rye, wheat, oats or barley straw are suitable. Shavings or sawdust has also been uued, and so have cornstalks and forest leaves. There Is an objection by some growers to the use of buckwheat straw, as it Is believed that In somex way It poison the plants, but this no doubt Is only maglnary.' In localities where Southern pine Is abundant, the needles are spread on strawberries, and ere highly recommended for the purpose. If a fertilizer Is desired, horse manure having a good supply of litter, is eijllent. Cnmrru Helps Save the Eye. , Dr. WaltberThorner, assistant at th. clinic of eye diseases at the Itoyal Charity Hospital at Ilerlin, has recently made a discovery of great importance In the domain of ocular science, lb solving a problem that several practitioners had hitherto studied, but with indifferent results. He has succeeded In I-botographing the back of the eye and in obtaining good photographic reproductions. So writes J. B. Van Brüssel la the Technical World Magazine. His invention is a large improvement upon the Helmholtz eye siecuJum, which permits only of examining the back of the eye, while now an image of it can le fixed. Owing to this invention the dellcata art of the oculist is destined to enter a new phase which will doubtless be the starting point of Interesting discoveries in the domain of ocular science. The failure of all attempts made up to the present to photograph the Interior, and the back of the eye has leen due .to che peculiar structure of this organ. It Is difficult, In fact, to Illuminate the eye sufficiently to obtain a photograph of it ; and even upon mploylng a powerful source of light The exposure of tho organ would take too long and would occasion unendurable pain to the patient Dill ie and the Horse.

CUSTOMS OF ESKIMOS.

Few II vldenoe Tliat Tliej- Have Any 1 Drlief Uoei'Hii; Futur Life. j V. Stefansson, ethnologist f t lie An-glo-American polar expixlitl'm, who is connected with the IVabody museum of Harvard university, and who lived with the Eskiaios last winter at Hie mouth oC tho Mackenzie river, related curious practices among that people in manifesting their respect for the dead, says . the Seattle Po?MntcIl!gener. j "The degree of Hie civilization of a j nation," said Mr. Stefansson, "is large- : ly measured by the respect shown for the dead, and curiously enough, while j these Eskimos cannot be regarded as j being civilized, their continued respect for their dead wouV. do credit in charnctcr and sincerity to any of the nations of the earth. They roar no monuments t mark the resting place of their dead and on which to record the virtues and achievements of their herocs, but if 'memory is the only thing that grief can call her own,'" surely this one thing is evidenced in affectionate and enduring customs by these simple and generous people of thi far north. These customs offer some of the very few evidences that these people have any belief respecting a future life. "When a death occurs, the body Is taken to vome suitable spot and covered with debris of various kinds, driftwood forming a large part cf it. Food, consisting mainly of fish (for this is their chief article of diet) is placed on the pile along with simple presents of things they thiuk will be useful to the departed spirit. This is renewed so long as they have opportunity to do so. As they seldom stay longer than one year in a place, this period marks the limit of this expression of their sorrow and interest in the future welfare of the dead. "But they do not stop with the giving of food and presents. And this throws light on .another of their curious customs. The name of the dead person is given to the child next born, and if no birth occurs until after a nuuaber of the tribe have died, then the names of all the dead are given to the newly born child. I know cf one instance of nine names being thus given to a child. Then the giving of presents is continued, only they are given to the child. But it must be understood that in giving them to thi child, the presents are really Intended for thu spirits of the dead. Of course, they do not exactly speak of them as spirits, but they have a vague, Indefinable conviction that somehow and somewhere their departed frieuds and comrades still exist and may need their help. "This seems to be the natural expression of their communistic practices. So far as food, clothing, shelter anil protection are concerned, everything is held in common for the coiuDion good. It is for this reason that unselfishness Is genuinely characteristic of these Eskimos. Kindness that Is limited only by ihe simple and unfavored character of their environment -seems to be Jin instinct, for rveu the children are quiet, obedient and deferential to their elders, and In their play they do not appear to have the lively rense of personal rights so usual in young people. Thus they grow to manhood and womanhood, and it seems natural that their memory and affection for the dead should find expression in simple acts of thoughtful consideration for their imagined needs. It is all very pretty and worthy of careful study. When I go back among this iveople, as I intend doing next spring, I hall have opportunity to gath?r many more and equally curious customs of these generous Eskimos." ThQ.Mnn with Forty Ghosts. A popular 'lovellsc talked with regret aixut the old ghost habit of the past. "Famous painters first and famous writers afterward alike bad ghosts," he said. "These ghosts were pupils, disciples. They did the basic work of the master's picture or novel, and the master ivolished up, put on the finishing touches and signed his name to it. This practice, indeed, still obtains in architecture. It was a practice that allowed a popular artist a manifold increase of production and consequently of Income. Dumas, the elder Dumas, had no less than forty ghosts forty intelligent young men writing away for him about IVArtagnan, Porthos, Aramls and the rest. But Dumas was reckless, and the existence of his forty ghosts became known; hence a good deal of scandal. At the height of this scandal Dumas s?id to a lady one night: "'Have you read my last book, raadame? "The lady, with a mischievous smile, replied : "'No, M. Dumas. Have you?'" Bird that Iloat In Their Xests. "The mother bird sat on her eggs at the water's edge, and when I approached she pushed off with her foot as though the nest had been a boat, and away she floated calmly down the stream." . "What you saw was a rare spectacle," said the nature student. "The bird was a grebe, the colymbus minor. She always builds on the water s edge, and her nest is always woven of aquatic plants so closely and firmly that It will float herself and her eggs without leaking.. On the approach of danger the bird pushes off. Nor Is she at the current's mercy during her voyage. She uses her foot as a paddle, and I have seen her steer her boatnest with some little dexterity round a bend, landing In a quiet cove as well. Fay, as the average young lady waterman."

The Interest that Western Canada has aroused for some years past Is growing in Intensity. The conditions of the crop of 1907 are such that results can be spoken of with some degree of certainty. The yield of grain will be about S0,000,000 bushels and the price the farmers will realize for it will be upwards of seventy million dollars. The oat crop was good In most places, and the crop of barley will be very remunerative. Those who know of the generally unsatisfactory conditions during the seeding, growing and ripening period in the United States during the past season will look with righteous distrust on any statement Intended to give the Impression that Western Canada conditions were so much different. . Generally, they were not, but the conditions of a highly recuperative soil, long and continuous sunshine, are conditions possessed by Western Canada and not possessed by any other country on the continent. That is why it is io9slble to record to day a fairly successful crop, when in ; most other places the opposite Is the case. The yield In all zrain Is less than last year, but tho higher prices' ob tained more than offset any falling off In the yield. Take for instance tho Province of Saskatchewan, the wheat crop will be worth $21,13:5,000. Last year the same crop was 35 per cent larger and the quality better. The yield was worth ?24,(;G0.C00. Oats and barley are very important factors in all three central provinces. At Gladstone, Manitoba, returns from one farm were $27 pe acre from the wheat land, $35 per acre from oats, and $30 per acre from barley. T!o yield of wheat at Dauphin, Manitoba, was 20 to 24 bushels to the acre, but not of a very good grade, but the yield of barley In that section was good and so was the quality and price. At Meadow Lea, Manitoba, 15 to 20 bushels to the acre were threshed, bringing a round dollar on the market. At Oak Lake, Manitoba, on some fields whore 21 bushels were exacted, 12 and 15 was the result; others again where 20 was looked for gave 22 to 25. One special patch south of town on J. M. McFariane's farm went as high as 30 bushels to the acre. At Sheho, Saskatchewan, oats yielded from CO to C5 bushels to the acre. Sam Wunder threshed 2,500 bushels from 40 acres. The sample Is good and weighs well. At Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, W. Blbby threshed 97 bushels of 'oats to the acre, and two others were but little behind. Wheat here reached 35 bushels. At Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, from a quarter section all In crop, Aiex. McKinnon of Ingleside threshed an average of 33 bushels No. 1 Northern. I. J. Grant had 190 acres, yielding C.COO bushels of the same grade. These illustrations taken from widely distant districts (and thousands of others could be produced) show that the year 1907 has not felt the serious effects from severe winter, late spring, or unfavorable conditions during the growing season that might have been anticipated.

rate of OVER A MILLION BOXES A MONTH, proving: that the American people recognize, that what is BEST FOR THEM is none too good. Why this enormous patronage ? The -answer is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweet, mild, fragrant, harmless but effective little tablets for the treatment and cure of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They are put up in neat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy to carry (in vest-pocket or purse), easy to take and easy of action, always reliable, always the same, they "work while you sleep and wake you up feeling fine in the morning. They not only regulate the movement and stimulate the muscular walls of the bowels, but they keep the ENTIRE CANAL CLEAN and antiseptic, forcing out and destroying; all disease germs that breed in the accumulated filth unless promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they axe a great preventive of disease, and may be taken continuously as a precautionary measure. The new Pure Drugs Act, adopted by Congress on June 30, 1908, and In effect January 1, 1907, is a GOOD LAW and means better end PURER drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will live up to it in SPIRIT and LETTER, an eas task, as we have always been actuated' by the same principles and no changes are required in our formula or package. We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the first box of Cascarcts cane on the market and have lived and worked and produced under it ever since. ' To-day,after a record of nearly 100,000,000 boxes sold, Cascarets STAND the greater in PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any other preparation for Bowel trouble in all the world. This should be a great argument for any one, to try Cascarets AT ONCE, and be healthier and happier for it Some people have CHRONIC CONSTIPATION with all the horrors derived from it; others have HAB ITUAL CONSTIPATION from carelessness and neglect, but nearly EVERYBODY has OCCASIONAL CONSTIPATION, which, If not promptly taken care of is liable to result in its degeneration into the worse forms and cause great suffering and perhaps death. Cascarets, ifj taken patiently and regularly, will remedy all of thesa awful troubles, but if taken promptly at the very first sign of an irregularity of the Bowels, will act as the FINEST PREVENTIVE ever discovered end will keep all the machinery running in good order, 73 We advise you to get a little 10c box of Cascarets TO-DAY and carry it in your purse or vest pocket. Take one when you fesl anything unusual about your bowels. Your pwn druggist will sell you the little box, under GUARANTY of satisfaction or money refunded. All druggists, 10c, 25c, 50c
