For Lame Back An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment. This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates without rubbing through Yhe skin ai d muscular tissue right to the oone, quickens the blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief. Here's the Proof.

And oft, when the days were short and drear And the north wind shrieked and roared, V. children sought In the corner here. And drew on the toothsome hoard. lot thus through tho long, long winter-time It answered our every call With wine of the summer's golden prime Sealed by the hand of fall. The best there was of the earth and air. Of rain and sun and breeze, Changed to a pippin sweet and rare I5y the art of the faithful trees. t A wonderful barrel was this, had we Its mespace but rightly heard. Tilled with the tales of wind and bee, O cricket and moth and bird; K!fe with the bliss of the fragrant June When skies were soft and blue; Thronged Vith the dream3 of a harvest moon O'er fields drenched deep with dew. Oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay Your marvelous skill again; Take me back to the past. I pray. As willingly now as then Back to the tender morns and eves. The noontides warm and still. The fleecy clouds and the spangled leaves Of the orchard over the hill. Edwin L. Sabin, In Upplncott's. Woman In Chicken Ynrd. September Is a good month to look about for stock, and If one has not already settled upon a particular variety, a hint in that direction may be of some use. Unless a weenan can afford to keep plenty of help she should not keep over fifty fowls. I feel that I am writing for th- woman who takes care of her chickens herself, and to her would say that if she has the room it is a good plan to keep a small flock of two varieties one for broilers or fricassees and one for laying egg3, and when it comes to the genuine business, then give me the Black Minorcas. The eggs are large and pure white. The hens are almost perpetual layers and do not make good mothers. The eggs will command the highest fancy prices, and If your stock is pure you can sell the eggs for sittings at prices according to the stock you keep. The Plymouth Kocks or the Wyandotte3 are suitable breeds for broilers or for home use. I think there Is more money in the selling of eggs to private customers, or even In the markets, than in broilers. There is less crk and less worry. The latter fowl is a good layer If she does not get too fat, but when this occurs make a potpie of her.

Keep the Itond Drae Golnsr. D.xd roads are an extravagance that po farming community can afford. Ju3t what they cost In unnecessary expenses it takes but a moment to determine. A team and driver are reasonably worth $3 a day, and by the use of these it Is possible to deliver to market from your home 100 bushels of corn. Hauling over good roads, the cost of delivery Is 3 cents per bushel. JJut if, in consequence of tad roads. but fifty bushels can be delivered, the cost is doubled and the difference Is what the Impassible roads cost you. Continue thU calculation, applying It to the hauling of all your crops, and it quickly becomes apparent that it amounts to a very burdensome tax. Good roads help in every way; they promote sociability by making friends and relafives acces:;i?)!e, and by means cf them it is easier to roach the schools and churches and to generally lo and enjoy the th!::.5 which mal e if! really worth livln;;.

to the pound (1 pounds per dozen). r.pnprnllv snenklner the eirtr? of millets are smaller than those of old hens; those of ducks somewhat larger than hens' eggs, while those of turkeys and geese are considerMy larger. Guinea eggs, on an average, measure lTixlVa inches, are rather pointed at one end, and weigh about 1.4 ounces each, or 17 ounces to the dozen. Goose eggs weigh about 5.5 to 6.7 ounces each, or about 5 pounds to the dozen that is, more than three times as much as hens' eggs. The eggs of wild birds are said to be smaller than those of the same species when domesticaeed. Wild ducks' eggs are said to be, on an average, 1.97 to 2.17 Inches in diameter; domestic ducks' eggs, 2.36 to 2.56 inches. A Troahle"ome Weed. Reports come from Ontario that the perennial sow thistle has gained a firm foothold, making It the greatest weed enemy with which the farmer has to contend. It has been spread from one farm to another by the threshing machines, the numerous seeds being easily carried. One method being advocated for its eradication 13 to bow winter rye in September and pasture it the folowlng spring. Thl3 can bo followed in June by rye, turnips or buckwheat. In this way crops are secured and the sow thistle fought at the same time. Illnta on 1 1 ok Kalaln. The white breed of hogs is gradually disappearing. Salt buried a few inches in the ground in certain spots will attract the hog3 and confine them pretty closely to such places. It is natural for a hog to root, but if you want to prevent him from doing so a simple ring In the snout will answer the purpose. It 13 a great mistake to mark a hog by mutilating his ears. Better use a metal tag. Successful hog rals?rs will always have clover or alfalfa pastures for their anima-ls. Every hog pasture ought to have an open shed on a high point of ground for shelter from the hot sun. , Leave all sides open so the air can pass over them. Keep the pigs growing from the day they are born until they go to the slaughtering pen. The man who Imagines that he can produce fat and lean bacon in streaks by feeding one week and starving the next will be disappointed. 'First' Mortgage. - By reason of the Insistence of many investors that their bond3 be of "first" mortgage, it may be said that the im portance of the word "first" is depend ent upon the circumstances, Eays Moody's Magazine. A bond may be first in fact; it may be fo only in a relative sense in that It Indicates the order in which the bond was put out by the issuing company; or the use of the term "first" in the name of the bond, undesirable and loose though It he In such instances, may be upon the slight ground that the mortgage is in deed first on some part of the property. while on other parts it may have but a third or fourth claim. It is therefore obvious that the mere presence of this term in a title does not necessarily make the bond an absolutely prior lien. It ha3 been estimated that 95 per cent in number and 95 per cent in value of steam railroad "firsts" are first liens in name cnly. Hired Man nutf the Jlosa. An exchange presents each of the two sides of the farm labor question in this somewhat homely but forcible manner: "He felt that he was working too hard for the pay received; . he knew better than the Loss how the work should be laid out; he caroused on Sunday and was dead to the world Monday; he was jealous of the other hired men he got fired! "He had no regular hours; he shifted teams from one man to another; he spent his time in town; he had plenty of spare room in his house, but gave the hired man the lest in the hay loft; he grumbled about trifles his hired man quit." Sunflower for Poultry. Sunflowers are grown by many poultrymen and farmers. The seed make an excellent feed for poultry and can be easily and profitably produced. The seeds can be sown In rows and the crop cultivated the same as corn. When ripe the seed Is thrashed out and fed to the poultry either whole or ground. If the sunflower i heads are thrown into the chicken yard, the birds will thresh the seeds out themselves with no expense to tho grower. It is an excellent fattening food, and when fed with cracked corn gives good results. It is too late thi. season to sow the funllower seeds, but it is a good thin to keep in mind for another year.

Preserving Uinta. The first consideration Is a preserving kettle of brass polished until lustrous and with no stain of fruit. Thi3 Is the sort of vessel used by the old-fashioned housewife and 'the jellies of our grandmothers have never been equaled. Porcelain kettles should be discarded as soon a3 they commence to crack and tin, iron or pewter should never bo used. The best jelly bag lb a long one made of flannel, which i3 made in a point at the bottom. This should never he squeezed In order to hasten the dropping or a discoloration of the fruit will result In selecting fruit the greatest care should be taken to see that it Is not overripe. Berries that have been picked more than 24 hours are tco old to make pood jelly and preserves. A cheesecloth bag will be found useful in straining the fruit through the colander. Prone Jelly. Stew a quart of prunes in a quart of water until they fall to plece3. Press through a colander. Soak a box of gelatin in a cupful of cold water; pour on gradually a cupful cf boiling water and stir until thoroughly dissolved. Add one pint of the prune pulp, the juice of a lemon or orange and a little sugar. Strain into wet mold. Put In cool place. Turn' out and serve with whipped cream. Good DonRhnata. Two cups of hot mashed potatoes, four tablespoons of shortening, three cup3 of sugar, four eggs, three cups milk, five teaspoons of baking powder and flour, enough to make the usual consistency of doughnut dough. Make a cream of potatoes, shortening, sugar and nutmeg for flavor. Then sift about four cups of flour with the baking powder; add to the mixture as much flour as needed. Old-Faahloned Drop Cakea. Cream a scant cup of sugar with onehalf cup of shortening, add a cup of molasses, one-half teaspoonful of powdered cloves and cinnamon, mixed, one teaspoonful cf salt and two level teaspoonfuls of baking soda dissolved in cne cup of cold water. Add enough flour to make a quite thick batter and drop this from a spoon into a greased pan. Bake In a quick oven. Canning; Sweet Corn. For canning, cut the same as for dry lng. To thirteen pints of corn add one pint of ealt and one pint sugar In granite pan and stir till it forms its own juice. Set on back of stove, where it will heat and stay hot for an hour or more, then draw to front of stove till It comes to a bojl and can. For canning or drying always use com rather too soft than too hard. Ilellclona Drolled Steak. Sprinkle the bottom of a skillet quito generously with salt. Place on the fire and let It become quite hot. Now put In your steak, turning frequently, so as to retain the juice. When done place on a heated platter and season with pepper; also add small hits of butter. This makes any steak quite tender and insures a rich flavor. Itochenter Gin Kerb rend. Beat half a cup of butter to a cream; gradually beat in half a cup of sugar. tvo well-beaten eggs, one cup of mo lasses, one cup of thick, sour milk and three cupa of flour, sifted with one tea spoonful and a half of soda, one tea spoonful of ginger and one teaspoonful of cinnamon. Bake In two brickdoaf pans. Green Tomato Pie. Line a plate with nice crust, fill wlti peeled and sliced green tomatoes, add half a cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter cut into bits, four tablespoons of vinegar and sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg. Cover with a top crust and bake slowly. Corn und Sweet Potatoes. Cut the kernels from six ears of boil ed corn. Cut Into dice four large boiled sweet potatoes. Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan and stir Into this the corn and sweet potatoes. Fry, stirring often, for ten minutes. then serve. Green Tomato Mince Pie. Chop fine one pint of green toma toes and three large apples. Add three cups of sugar, three tablespoons of flour, one-half cup of vinegar, one-half teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of mixed spices. Bake with two crusts. Short SuKseatlona. A pinch of soda stirred Into milk that Is to be boiled will keep It from curdling. To keep tins bright, wash well with strong hot soda and water; when dry polish with a cloth and a little pow dered whiting. Parsley, may be kept fresh and green for .several days if it Is put In a covered earthen jar In a cool place. It will last longer than in water. To clean old glass pour strong am monia on it, scrub well with a brush and rinse In clean water. Dry and polish, and It will then appear as new When hot cake or light bread will not cut smoothly heat a knife to the temperature of the bread or cake and it may bo easily cut by so doing If you overboil potatoes you can drain off the water and dry them out over the fire. Afterward they can ba mashed and beaten In the usual way. Brasses take a most beautiful polish if washed in a mixture made of one o.i:i(e of alum and a pint of lye, boild tcg.-lhcr and used v.hik still wann. Wringing out a cbuh in hot water and wilting furniture well before puting on furniture cream will result in i high polish and will not show finger narks. When pumice stone and b nion are n available, wet the ends of common 'jlphar matches and rub the Inkr lined fingers with them. The spot3 ill disappear.

Xot only are such birds shown darting skyward from a thicket, but the ascent takes place from their hatching ground. The sand Is thickly strewn with various nests actual nests, stolen bodily and here and there are broken shells showing where broods have been hatched.
