cost of these will be founD .be money
well invested, for whatever secures the
comfort of the stock will add to its
growth and thrift. Partotiarly sh'owld
comfortable quarters be p)rovided fori
the cows that are in calf and the young
stock. Where a cheap sld can be
provided so easily with straw and few
poles, or a lt:le lumber, there is no
excuse for alloting the dattle to fall off
in flesh for want of shelter in the od
weather, and show the effects of this
for months afterward. Now Is the
time of year to plan for such protection
where it Is needed.
A GREAT loss in many farms is oc
catloned from the fact that the fields
are not uniformly fertile In all their
parts. If they are naturally the same
kild of soil,the evening-up process will
be comparatively easy. Sometimes the
defect will be found In a depression
where stagnant water remains. Hero
underdraintng will make the waste
place at least as good as the balance of
the fld, and probably somwIhat better.
In such places underdrains will often
pay for themselves in. single crop, for
when they are made they enable the
entire eld to be plowed and the crop
to be got in earlier and in better c6nd i
tion.____
FAntEn s differ in their estimate of
the value of rock as a permanent fertil
iznr. Many think it pron table to use
it on wheat lyconeation with manure,
while many have dechled that to use it
on all crops to the exclusion of regular
hosphata would deplete tbeir so l of
potash. This vics is correct. Heavy
crops of corn and clover will exhaust
the plotash and unless this depletion is
made good and potash in some shape is
returned to the soil the land will not
respond to the demands of the tiller.

the belief that it a not best to pay thu

and from 5 to 0 per cent. potash, with

adapted to all soils and crops.

NUTi TinEs FORt 8HADE--The idea
of iplanting edible nut hearing trees
wvhere shade is desired,instead of those
which are solely ornamental, is not
new, but the suggestion is one that
will bear thinking about, by those who
cont emplate planting shade or ornamen

as fine In appearance as horse chestnut

TJJE manure from most barnyards is
never so thoroughly drawn oult on the
laud as it should be. Generally only
the cc.arser portions mixed with last
year's straw are considered wvorth
drawing awvay. In old barnyards there
are of(ten rich deposits ot' earth which
have been accumulating for years, andi
that, spread thinly as top dressing, will
produce far more effect the .present
. season than may bui expected from the
manure made the past Winter.

"I have a irlend," said Dr. DIq
Lewis, "who can lift 000 pounds, and 1
yet is an habitual oufferer from kidney
and liver trouble and low spirits." The
doctor who was one of the wisest and
safest public teachers of the laws of
health, wrote:
"The very marked testimonials from
college professors, respectable physt- i
clans and other gentlemen of intolli
genco and character, to the value of
Warner's safe cure, havo greatly sur

I know, and, reading their testimony,
I was impelled to purchase some bot
tles of Warner's safe cure and analyze
1c. Besides I took some, swallowing
three times the prescribed quantity.
I am satisfied that the medicine is not
injurious, and will frankly add that if I
found myself the victim of a serious
kidney trouble I should use this prepa
iation."

The Wonderful I-Wron Itemocies,
Probably the greatest success in the way
if a patent medicinoe that has ever been
irought out is that which Mr. Charles D.

tow bringing to the attention of the public.
During the past few months the K-Wren
Ltemedies havejumped into popular use,
mnd everybody who uses them has but orne
hing to say, viz.: That they are the great
ust and most magical remedy for Coughs,
Jolds, Asthma, (.atarrh, Bronchitis, and
ill forms of throat and nasal diseases ever
liscovered. See advertisement in aiotler

(GRt\ E[tTOAST.-- Let no one preaume
.o set upon her table milk or orpam

noderately expensive disb. It's not
wortle whlle to serve such a dish at al
unless it5is good. A perfectly c Jokedl
lishi of tream toa'i is delicious; a mean
mne is at onye economical and detestab'e.
F~irst, put in a double kettle a scant

toast light slices or bread a ilay or two

and it is one which it generally takes a
lady to make. The average cook is sure
bo botch it. 'The sauce should be made

GoLo IN.ANO1ENTr U1ESEER ES,
The gold, which is now being dug out
oi! the ancient cemeteries (huacas) at
Hilandia, Central America, and other
places near Pereira, has led more than
1,000 workmen to that spot, and a town
has sprung up there within thelast four
years which. now contains more than
50,0u0 inhabitants, Public attention
Is being turned to those regions, as th
ancient burial places and - deposits of
the wealthy Carque Caracal have not
yet been discovered, and it is believed.
I that his treasures were immensely more
valuable than any which have yet been
Unearthed.

"What? Tell t1h0 porter to put him

us int thatt hbarefaced wvay would steal
overcoats.".
