He had a very fault-finding disposition, but she was very patient and also very fond of him. After an especially severe attack, a friend called to inquire after him. The patient wore a mournful expression. "Well," said the friend, cheerfully, . "how are you today?" "Very badly," replied the rheumatic sufferer, "and it's all my wife's fault." "Why," cried the friend in astonishment. "Is it possible?" "Yes," moaned the invalid, "you know, the doctor told me always to avoid damp places; and there my wife j sits and cries Just to make the air moist around me." Aged Survivors of Our Wars. I ain informed by the United States pension office that the last soldier of the rebellion will die in 1055. That is the estimate made by those who make a study of vital statistics. If the last veteran survives until that date he will have lived ninety years after the surrender of I.ee. Kronk, who died a couple of years ago in New York state, was the last soldier of the War of 1812, and he lived considerably more than ninety years after peace had been signed. Uakeman, the last soldier of the Revolution, lived for eighty-six yenrs after the peace of 17S3.? Philadelphia Public Ladger. "LIKE MAGIC" New Food Makes Wonderful Changes. When a man has suffered from dyspepsia so many years that he can't remember when he had a natural appetite, and then hits on a way out of trouble he may be excused for saying "it acts like magic." When it is a simple, wholesome food instead of any one of a large number of so called remedies in the form of drugs, he is more than ever likely to feel as though a sort of miracle has been performed. A Chicago man, in the delight of restored digestion, puts it in this way: "Like magic, fittingly describes the manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved me of poor digestion, coated tongue and loss of uppetite, of many years standing. "I tried about every medicine that was recommended to me, without relief. Then I tried Grape-Nuts on the suggestion of a friend. My the time 1 had finished the fourth package, my stomach was ull right, and for the past two months I have been eating with t a relish anything set before me. That * la something I had been unable to do previously for years. "I am stronger than ever and I consider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a weak stomach as something really wonderful. It builds up the entire body as well as the brain and nerves." ! Name given by tho Postum Co., Rattle Creek, Mich.

Others Prefer Pole Llmae on Account of Quality, Quantity and 8eaaon of Profitable Bearing ?Also Large. A -writer Bays that both bush and lima heana are more satisfactory and easier to grow than the pole litnas. Now, every one for his choice, but we prefer the pole limas every timo for quality, quantity and long season of profitable bearing, says a writer in an exchange. It is true that setting poles for plants to vine on requires more work than when no poles are used, but the results more than pay for all the work. The trouble with most of us in our gardening and farming is that we try to grow things in the easiest way, but the easiest way is seldom the best way. We should never be satisfied with anything short of the best. Pole lima beans are the largest and best beans grown. Make the soil as loose and rich and fine as possible. Harrow, disk and harrow till the surface is a smooth, fine and mellow as an ash heap. Lay off rows, both ways, about four feet apurt and plant three seeds to tho hill at the rrMMKitiir r>f rows. Cultivate young lima beans as for other garden plants, keeping the surface clean, fine and level. Allow no weeds to, grow close to the cultivated plants, as llmas will not thrive in tho presence of strange company. Some people to reduce labor plant corn or sunflower in the same hill with pole lima beans for the vines to climb. This is a grave mistake, for two good plauts cannot grow in a place where there is room enough for only one. A Hamper of Pole Lima Beans. poor bean crop always results from this method, as one good, old gardener puts it, "It is tlio lazy man's way of gardening." We pc!e our beans with round poles nhntlf plight fr?t lontr onW ness of one's wrist. They are set one pole to each hill and the four poles form a square brought together and tied with common binder twine, about nino feet from the ground. Tills gives a wigwam frame with firm, broad base and so substantial that no ordinary storm will blow it over. Almost all other members of the bean family are quick maturing plants and the life of the crop covers only a part of the growing season. Not so with polo lima beans; they are rather slow growing. It requires no;?rlv nltiofv ilnva fnr tlm vlnni fully mature and come into heavy bearing. Hut after the vines begin to bear they continue to produce blossoms and fruit all through tlio remainder of the growing season, so long ns the green beans are regularly picked and more allowed to ripen, providing there is sufficient moisture in the soil to sustain growth. Keeping out all weeds and grass and keeping the surface raked loose and flno will help to conserve soil moisture at dry times. A light sovering of straw on the surface will also help to copservo soil moisture during August and September, when rains are often infrequent and evaporation great. ADVANTAGES OF DAIRY FARM Increases Productivity of Soil, Insures Monthly Income and Even Distributes Labor. Prof. P. L. Kent, of the dairy husbandry department of the Oregon Agricultural college, states as follows the advantages of dairy farming in the Oregon Countryman, a monthly magazine published by the students at O. A. C.: "Ilriotly stated, the advantages of dairy farming are: Increasing productivity of the soil, a regular ihonthly income putting the business on a cash basis, a better distribution of the labor of the farm than is possible under a single crop system, and supplying a product for the market, all of which should be of the highest grade and for which thero is always a ready sale."

"The love of money la the root o all evil." It lures men Into things tha prove disastrous. The greater th< profits, the more certain that a largi number will fail in the'undertaking Why? Because when profits are larg< men are sure to rush In on a big scale says a writer In an exchange. Tw< hundred per cent profit on one shee] is big. Then why not get 600 or l,00i sheep and get rich quickly? That'i the argument that traps everybod; who has a get-rlch-quick bee In hi hat.

That while linseed meal sometime gives very excellent results, yet on tlv whole other preparations are to be pre ferred, says Hoard's Dairyman. Corn barley, oats and bran are recommend ed for this purpose. With tho youni calf a mixture of low grade lloui sieved ground oats, corn meal or lin seed oil meal mado into a jelly b; boiling, continuing such feed for tw< or three weeks, while the stomacl is small and incapable of utilizim coarser feeds, is suggested. As soot as possible, however, change to whoh corn or whole oats with or withou a little oil meal fed dry. Among other mixtures proposed 1 one consisting of 20 pounds of corn meal, 20 pounds of oatmeal, 20 pound of oilmeal, 10 pounds of bloodmea! 5 pounds of boneineal. Change t< corn, oats and bran when calves art three months old. A little of tie bloodmeal as a part of the dairy ra tion is very frequently recommended It seems to have in some way a ton it effect, and is also claimed to bo botl a preventive and a cure for cal scours. i pqelwwp ^ i i ~ * Straw and hay make good nestini material. Keep your breeders healthy and do ing well. On the farm you should keep util ity uppermost. Shade for the chickens is very im portant in hot weather.

Begin early to work up a trade ii broilers. The market never will b< overstocked. The working hours of the poultry man extend from early till late; then are no holidays. As a rule hens that lay steadil: during cold weather are indifferen | hot weather layers. Little chicks need a feeding cooj where they can eat in peace awaj from the older fowls. Hardiness does not go by color o plumage. Hardiness depends upoi tho care given to fowls. All eggs should he tested by tin seventh day, which often makes it pos sible to reset some of the hens.
