Ahead,
1S&?1
If Toung girls ■would look ahead it
would sometimes save them from serious
collision with the men thc v marry. It
is here that ignorance is almost a crime.
The voting husband cannot understand
it when the wife changes to a peevish,
nervous, querulous woman. An I the
young wife does not understand t her
self. She only knows that she is very
miserable.
If ever there is a time when nature
needs help it is when the voting jrirl is
adjusting herself to the new conditions
of'wifehood. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription makes weak women strong and
sick women well. It promotes regu
larity, dries debilitating drains, heals in
flammation and ulceration, and cures
female weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All womanly
confidences are guarded with strict pro
fessional privacy. Write without fear or

CORN BREEDING.
A Good I'edisi In Corn Mpani am
Much ti-i In Live Stock.
Corn can Le bred the same as cattle.
It has been found that pedigree in corn
means *is much as or more than in live
stock. By careful selection the corn
brerd ,\s are weeding out barren, poor
anil inferior stalks. This will mean an
enormous saving of plant food which is
now us- <1 in the production of useless
p!ants. a great increase of yield and
additional profit. In St■!. ctlng seed ears
iitisi; -1 sarv to be provided with a
j rule a 1 measuring tapeline.
| Look the ears over carefully for mis-
I ture, yellow grains in white corn and
;v i ) caps in yellow corn. Such grains
• s". ,M I><■ picked out and discarded.
I The white corn should have white cobs
I and yellow corn red col -. If this is
! not true, discard the ears, as a mixed
j cob is an evidence of a poorly bred car
I or a reversion.
i The ears should be from seven and a
j half to eight inches in circumference,
| measured at the middle of the ear, and
| 10 to 11 inches in length, measured
j from tip to butt. The corn should
j shell about S8 per cent corn to cob.
The most popular type of kernel is
the wedge shape, so there will be little
lost space on the ear between the rows
of kernels.
The smooth kernel type Is being dis
carded for a rougher kernel, which
means a deeper kernel, con tuently a
greater per cent of corn to <■ >b.
The tip should be fili i over with
kernels in straight, reg: • tows, and
the butt kernels should .- .. ell out about
the shank. The flat butt with large
shank indicates a si'iall per cent of
corn to cob and a hard husking variety.
The number of rows of kernels
should be from 18 to 24, it being gen
erally considered that 18 is a prefer
able number, giving a . tronger type of
kernel. The rows of kernels should be
regular and straight with the cob.
CROWD THE TREES
If Ton Arc Orcliardinc For tiie Profit
There 1H In It.
From what I have seen and learned
I cm satisfied that apple trees of many
varieties i.:ay lie brought into full bear
ing at fo;ir years after being set into
the orchard. I have seen apple trees
the fourth year after planting out bear
one-half bushel o. apples per tree. I
once saw an orchard here in which 00
trees l ore, ihe ••ighth season after be
ing set into the orchard, 20G barrels of
picked apples. These 90 trees were
composed of IVtldwin, Rhode Island
Greenitg and Roxbury Russet and
were set 18 feet apart. I am not an
advocate of large apple trees with tops
spreading .'lO to feet and going up
into the air 2." to feet, requiring aGO
foot ladder to gat hi r the fruit, but pre
fer to set my trees 18 l'cet apart,
135 trees per acre, and, when the trees
are 4 years old and come into bearing,
stop all other cropping and let the trees
have all the ground to grow and ma
ture their fruit. I would, however,
fertilize and cultivate the orchard as I
would for any crop, says a Connecticut
man in Itural New Yorker.
By setting the trees 18 feet apart 1
have 100 trees more to the acre to bear
from the time they are -1 . ars old
and on. This makes the orchard itself
pay a good profit for the laud, and
there is less reason or desire to crop
the land with some other crop, as would
bo done with only 35 trees to the acre.
These trees would bear for 15 years be
fore crowding, when the top of every
other tree should be cut back to a3 near
the body of the tree as could be done
and not leave the limbs too large, the
same as would be done If the tree were
to be top grafted. A new top of young,
thrifty growth would start out, which,
of course, would need to be thinned
out properly, and in three years the
trees would be in full bearing again,
when the tops of those not cut back
may be served In like manner. By this
method of treatment the top would be
kept young, the fruit be grown on
young and thrifty wood and the apples
easily picked and trees easily sprayed
over those low heads. When the trees
crowd again, let the tops be cut back
as before, or take out every other tree
entirely.
As money from the orchard is the ob
ject, thus planting the trees 135 to the
acre and keeping the tops within a ra
dius of about 10 feet, more apples will
be taken from the orchard in 20 or 25
years, and at less expense per tree, than
would be from the same ground with
trees set 35 trees to the acre In 50 years,
for there are 100 more trees per acre to
bear fruit aad on thrifty, vigorous
young trees.
Look Out For Sprlnjr Freezes.
Some fruit growers pile the snow up
around their trees to prevent them
budding out too early in the spring.
But snow melts quickly as the sun
comes nearer. Some one suggests pil
ing up, while the ground is frozen,
ashes or sawdust or anything that will
tend to keep the ground frozen around
the roots to retard the flow of the tap
and the disaster of an early ffost. Of
course it is well known that the trees
that are dormant ex-ape the harm
from an untimely freeze. Any treat
ment that will prevent the starting out
of the buds too early would accomplish
the purpose.

John and Jonathan.
A very dramatic conversation, print
ed in the London Outlook, has the dou
ble purpose <>f satirizing both the Eng
lish aad American bent of mind and
manners. The "smart Yankee" is rep
resented as coming home to his admir
ing i ivn an>! telling in somewhat exag
gerated dialect what he thinks of his
cousin over the water.
"Say, tell us," said a friend, "air the
English so terrible slow and dull, after
all?"
"Waal," replied the traveler, "I reck
on so. I sat down one night in the par
lor of a little village pub. Yes: it's a
public house, but they cad it pub in
England.
"There wuss the boss of the pub, the
local butcher, the local evurything,
and there wuss myself. X just listened,
though 1 can't say there wuss much to
listen to. The talk ran like this:
" 'I 'ear as Ted Kobinson got the sack
| last week,' remarked a villager.
"'Ted Robinson?" said the other vil
lager, deliberately puffing smoke.
" 'Yuss; I 'ear so. Ted Kobinson got
the sack las' week.'
"A pause. More smoke.
" 'Got the sack, eh?'
" 'Yuss; I 'ear as *ow 'e did.'
"A longer pause.
" 'Las' week, was it. 'e got the sack?'
" 'I 'ear as 'ow it was las' week.'
"A long, long pause.
" 'Ah! 1 eard that a Friday.'
"And." continued the Yankee, "not a
soul among 'em smiled. It was their
reg'lar mental diet. Oh, yes, smart
men the English are and no mistake."
< liiueNc Criticism of Otir Alphabet.
The high class Chinaman, speaking
through his interpreter, was giving the
eminent American visitor his impres
sions of the English language.
"I cannot understand," he said, "how
anybody ever finds time to learn it.
T.iVe that singularly formed letter in
your alphabet, for instance, the letter
'g.' What an awkward and ill shaped
character it is! What is the signifi
cance of that little curling projection
at the upper end of it? 1 have never
seen anybody who could tell me. Then,
again, when the learner has familiar
ized himself with that letter and can
reoog;ii::e it at sight he learns that it is
only a part <-f a word and ihat it enters
iMi. the composition < f thousands of
words. It isas different pronunciations
and sometimes !s not pronounced at all,
being entirely silent. Now. when you
see one of our Chinese characters you
know ::T once what it is. It is a won
der to rr. ■ ihat your people do not dis
card tlv cumbersome forms of your
written language and learn our simpler
and more easily understood system."
The eminent American could only j
bow his head in humiliation and prom
ise to bring the matter before the edu
cationai authorities of his native land.

Too Modi For the Call.
One of the wealthiest wine mer
chants in Paris and also one of Its
stoutest citizens was the hero of an epi
sode which caused much laughter in
the Rue Princesse.
M. It., the corpulent man. hailed a
cab, which came alongside the curb.
He opened the door antP, getting a pur
chase on the railing of "cabby's" seat,
tried to hoist himself in.
liut his weight was too much for the
vehicle, which careened over and, as
the Fk'jwalk is very narrow, crashed
into .indow of a printing office. M.
R. 1.1. meanwhile collapsed on the
ground, and "cabby" by a miracle
clung to his uncertain perch.
Then followed a stormy period. The
printer came out and wanted to have
the price of his broken window, the fa I
man tried to get the cabby to drive him
away, and cabby refused to tal:e any
such load on board. #
Finally all parties adjourned to the
police station, where the difficulty was
straight) i-oil out. and M. It. set to work
looking for another cab.—Paris Temps.

Once upon a time there was a Bath
ing Suit which was much reprehended
in that it wars not mode.it
There was likewise at this same time
also a Violet whose modesty was a
matter of universal comment.
"What is your system." asked the
Bathing Suit, accosting the Violet, "for
I would fain be thought modest too?"
"Why. I shrink," quoth the Violet,
meaning no harm.
But when the Bathing Suit shrunk in
pursuance of ibis hint it was only rep
rehended the more and was finally cast
away a - being quite impossible.—De
troit Journal.

"Your little birdie has been very,
very ill." she wrote to the youug man.
"It was some sort of nervous trouble,
and the doctors said I must have per
fect rest and quiet and that I must
think of nothing. And all the time,
dear George, 1 thought constantly of
you."
The young man read it over and then
read it through again very slowly and
put it In his pocket and went out un
der the silent stars and kept thinking
and thinking and thinking. lie only
kept on thinking.—Loudon Answers.

Little Willy Is a bright boy and a
saucy boy. Ilis apt answers have often
turned away wrath and often turned it
upon him strongly. The other day his
father was reprimanding him for some
misdeed, and Willy was answering very
saucily.
The father became very angry and.
seizing tiie youngster by the collar,
said: "See here, young man, you must
not talk like that to me. I never gave
my father impudence when I was a

Willy was not fcazed at all. With a

Everybody Knows
That nervousness and headache go to
gether. The worry and cares of business or
home, overwork, loss of sleep, improper
food—all tend to irritate the temper,
derange the digestion, weaken the nerves
and undermine the health. This tearing
down of the life forces must he stopped.
The ebbing tide of health must be
checked, and new energy, new life, new
ambition infused into the whole system.
To do this quickly and thoroughly use
Dr. Miles' Nervine.
It a&s directly on the nervous system, quiets the irritation, rests the tired brain and
restores the wasted tissues as nothing else can. You should not delay. Get it at once.
