Slok Blood Feed pale girls on Scott’s Emulsion. We do not need to give all the reasons why Scott’s Emulsion restores the strength and flesh and color of good health to those who suffer from sick blood. The fact that it is the best preparation of Cod Liver Oil, jicli in nutrition, full of healthy stimulation is a suggestion as to why it does what it does. Scott’s Emulsion presents Cod Liver Oil at its best, futfesjt: in, strength, least in taste. ■'Young women in their "'Veens ’ are permanently cured etff the peculiar disease of the blood which shows itself in paleness, weakness and nervousness, by regular treatment vith Scott’s Emulsion. ft fs a true blood food and is. naturally.adapted to the cure of the blood', sickness from which so many young.women suffer..

An Ancient Foe To health and happiness is Scrofula—as ugly as ever since time immemorial. It causes bunches in the neck, disfigures the skin, inflames the mucous membrane, wastes the muscles, weakens the bones, reduces the power of resistance to disease and the capacity (or recovery, and develops into consumption. "A bunch appeared on the left side of my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced, and became a running sore. I went Into a general decline. I was persuaded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and when I bad taken six bottles my neck was healed, and I have never bad any trouble of the kind since.” Mas. K. T. Snyder, Troy, Ohio. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills will rid you of it, radically and permanently, as they have rid thousands.

, It is now in order for the Remington Press and Wolcott Enterprise to stop “chewing the rag” over that game of foot ball that failed to take place on Thanksgiving. The bulletin of the state board of health for the month of October shows that there were seven deaths in Jasper county during the month, only one of which took place in Rensselaer. I’ll brave the storms of Ohilkoot Pass, I’ll cross the plains of frozen glass, I’ll leave my wife and cross the sea, Rather than be without Rocky Mountain Tea. B. P. Pendig.

People of Indiana pay $1,000,000 annually to maintain the courts in this state. The per capita expense amounts to about 40 cents. Over 35,000 cases are disposed of annually. Change* of venue cost $32,000; salaries for prosecuting attorneys, $29,090. For grand and petit juries the sum of $280,000 was paid.

The farmers of northern Indiana have begun to husk their corn crop in earnest, and they discover that much of the corn has moulded in the shock owing to , the extreme wet weather at the time of Cutting. Many farmers who expected (he greatest corn crop in years will be disappointed when they are ready to market their corn. Not all of the corn is mouldy, but much of the crop is affected.

Judge Baker, of the Federal Court at Indianapolis, administered punishment to two farmers of Newton county who were caught in the possession of plaster parts molds to make' counterfeit dollars, quarters and nickles, and also some of the spurious money. Alvin Merrill, of Lake Village, received a sentence of nine months, and Oscar Sorrenson, of the same place, ninety days, in the Marion county workhouse. Sentence was pronounced Monday afternoon. The men said they had been induced to go into the business by a man named Nottingham, who escaped arrest. The court believed this and minimized the punishment.

FERTILIZING WHEAT.

Complete Fertiliser Versos Phosphate and Clover. The marked effect on the growth of the wheat plant which is usually observed after the application of fertilisers carrying soluble phosphoric acldj such as acid phosphate or dissolved boneblack, together with the low price at which plain acid phosphates can be bought, as comparted with fertilisers containing nitrogen and potash, have led many farmers, to the use of this material alone, believing that they can supply sufficient nitrogen by growing clover and that potash is not needed. On these points the field tests of the Ohio experiment station are beginning to offer useful suggestions. Since 1898 the station has conducted two series of experiments on the light, somewhat sandy clay soil of its central farm at Wooster. In these experiments fertilizers of various composition have been used on crops grown in rotation, the rotation consisting in the one series of corn, oats and wheat one year each, followed by clover and timothy two years, and in the other of potatoes, wheat and clover one year each. Since 1896 both these tests have been duplicated on the heavy, white clay of the northeastern substation in Cuyahoga county. In every case the substitution of tankage tor part of the acid phosphate has produced a large gain in the increase of the wheat crop, the average being a gain pet acre of 3.78 bushels for the complete fertilizer over the add phosphate alone. At sls per ton for acid phosphate. sl9 for tankage and 2*4 cents per pound for muriate of potash, these being the prices actually paid for the fertilizers used in these experiments, including freight, we have reaped in the average 3.78 bushels increase of crop for 65 cents additional cost. This, however, is only part of the gain, as the com and oats crops, preceding the wheat, are showing a large gain in favor of the complete fertilizer, as do also the hay crops following. It appears, therefore, that the clover is not furnishing sufficient nitrogen to meet the demands of a full crop and that it is more economical to use a fertilizer containing a small percentage of nitrogen (ammonia), even though the cost be somewhat increased,, than to use one which carries only phosphoric acifi.

One Thing and Another.

In feeding .hogs at the Kansas station, Kaffir corn, skimmllk and nJfttYfn pasture In combination gave greater live weight than Kaffir com alone, or Kaffir corn with skimmllk, or Kaffir corn with alfalfa pasture. As the farmers of the plains come to recognize more fully the great Indirect as well as direct value of forest plantations, wood lots, shelter belts and Wind breaks, scattered over the agricultural treeless regions, and undertake to grow them In greater numbers, even if Individual plantations are small in extent, the total result will be of vast Importance In the development of the west Evaporating sorghum Juice Is best done as shallow as possible without burning. It should be done quickly, and the sirup should be cooled as soon as possible. With well clarified juice good sirup can be made In a plain pan, which may be removed from the fire when the sirup is finished. Autumn plowing, which buries the eggs and compacts the ground so the Insects cannot reach the surface in the spring, has been pronounced the most practicable remedy for grasshoppers.
