Washington, July 18.?The farmers

This increase in prices was the average

three-fourths of the value of all crops
of the nation.

He.. was badly crippled with sciatic
lheomatism due he says to urio acid
hi his blood. "Foley Kidney Pills entirely
cored me and also removed
numerous black specks that were continually
before my eyes." Foley Kidney
Pills are a uric acid solvent and
are effective for the various forms of

Wedding Etiquette.
- The parents of the bride are suppooed
to furnish everything for the
groom?in otner words, they have to
pay the bill for decorating the church
or home, for the wedding feast and the
invitations. Also for the carriages,
except the one that brings the groom
and his best man.
The groom f ornishes the ring and
the license and?last, but not least?
himself.
In some communities the groom also
buys the bouquet for the bride and she
sends him and the best man the tiny
sprays of flowers they are to wear at;
the ceremony.
It seems that the burden of expense
rests with the^bride's father, but he is
usually satisfied to put up for all these
"fixtures" if it ends there. At least
it is not considered good form to call
upon him for a few months! And it
is better to postpone the time many
months farther along if nothing very
alarming'happens to you, and the little
plans for meeting living expenses hold
good.
Parents are more apt to feel inclined
tc 3lp, if they see that the young
foiks are trying to liye within their
means; but the man who has had to
make alljhis own money usually thinks
that his daughter's husband ought to
be in a position to support himself.'and
wife. Thejhelp young married people
expect should be from the necessity
of long illness, or some other unforeseen
circumstances, and not from the
desire to "fly before the learn how to
walk."
A rich man made the remark that
his daughters expected to start in with
as much a9 he and his wife had now,
after many years of work and saving.
I am inclined to think he was right.?

AN APOLOGY. '
YOUNGSTER, turn your baby eyes
Here while I apologize.
My misgivings won't disguise
The longer, more's the pity!
It's a parent's duty, dear.
To confess and make it clear
Why we bought and brought you here,
To rear you in the city.
Yonder where the smiling sky
Meets the trees that tower high
There the velvet meadows lie.
They're made for little children.
Tinted with the bloom of rose
Pink as baby's pinkest toes?
Oh, so many blooms of those.
They're perfectly bewilderin'!
Where the skies and maples meet
Pathways soft to baby's feet
Lead away to woodlands sweet
For little tads to stray in.
And the bees they buzz and boom
In the sweet unsuckled bloom.
And there's not a thing but room
For little tads to play in.
Sloping banks of velvet fine
Tinted gold with dandelion
Lead to where the waters shine,
And little fellows wade in;
Dirt as clean as honeycombNot
the kind we have at home,
But just the softest kind of loam? <
For little tads to spade in.
11
But I fear that I digress. I
Now, my son, with much distress
And misgivings I confess
Your rearing in the city, :
Where there are no meadows, no
Place for little tads to go i
Only on the pavement?oh.
The pity, pity, pity!
i
Maybe it was just because
Loneliness came over us
(Frequently, you know, it does)
Who left the fields behind us,
And perhaps we longed for two
Baby eyes of china blue,
Such as those you're beaming through.
To look at and remind us.
?John D. Wells in Buffalo News.

What She Wanted.
Jim Mann was on liis way back from
Chicago and coundn't help hearing the
conversation of the couple in the section
right behind his. They looked
like newly married folk, but were not
on their honeymoon, as Mann learned
by deduction. The woman laid down
a newspaper she had been reading and
said to her husband:
"Do you know, I wish I had one of
these affinities. Oh, I think it would
bo just g-r-a-n-d to sit on a rock with
somebody and have him rave about the
incomparable golden color of my hair
and tell me that my eyes were the
most beautiful in the whole world,
and"?
"Ub, huh," said the husband, yawninsr.
"And that the delicate pink of my
cheeks had been painted there by the
angels, and that he couldn't live without
me. O-h, I think an affinity like
that would be"?
"'Tisn't an affinity you want," interrupted
the husband. "What you
seem to want is a plain old fashioned
liar."?National Monthly.
Premature.
A certain company promoter once
built a castle on a mountain peak. As
he showed the gray, medieval looking
pile to a friend he said:
"I don't know what to call it. What
name do you advise?"
"It looks like those Scotch castles in
the highlands," said the friend. "Why
not call it Dunrobin?"
"Dunrobin? Dunrobin? Yes, that
would be a good name," said the millionaire:
"only, you see, I have no in
tention of retiring yet" ? London

How To Use The Drag.
The Anderson Mail.
The King split log drag is a good
thing?when used intelligently. Dr.
Jos. Hyde Pratt, the North Carolina
good roads enthusiast who was here
for the farmers' institute, says that
the only road this piedmont country
needs is the sand clay road, and the
only road machinery necessary to keep
up the road is the split log drag, costing
about $3 each. Mr. G. Ward
King, the inventor of this machine,
writes to the Good Roads magazine:
"Much trouble has been caused by
persons who advise others to drag the
earth road while it is muddy. The
King drag does not give perfect satisfaction,
as a rule, when 90 used. In
fact I have known of many instances
where a trial of that plan has so disgusted
a man that he has thrown up
the whole job and declared it a fake.
The proper time to drag the earth
road is when the soil is 'moist but not
wet enough to fasten itself to the slabs
of the drag.'
"The idea of using the King drag
when the mud is like mortar is a seriously
mistaken one. I trust you will
assist me in correcting it."
Every earth road in South Carolina
should be given a treatment with the
split log drag. The result would be
surprising.
Farmers9 Institutes.

the Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration
