It is just the article n~-edr Fairlnaline Topic. To William Waruock of Goderlch. Ont.. must be (riven credit for raising the largest squash ever grown. This giant weighed 4<>3 pounds and wns shown at St. Louis. Some years ago when Mr. Warnock succeeded in rais ing a squash that weighed 313 pounds he felt pleased to think his vegetable weighed more than the -'biggest man" in Goderich, but later he tried to do better and at the world's fair in Chi cago showed a squash that weighed 3G5 pounds. In 1898 he beat his own record again, raising a squash that weighed SSS 1 pounds. Now his latest success beats this record by 14 Vs pounds, and It took a case forty-one Inches across to carry it to St. Louis. So says a writer in the Country Gen tleman, in which the accompanying cut of the big squash is submitted. The secret of growing it as told by Mr. Warnock to the writer is also given. In brief, it appears that the land is in good condition, having been heavily manured each year. Mr. Warnock pre pares a mixture of two good wheelbar- THE BIGGEST SQUASH ON EARTH. rows of hen manure and four barrows of good soil April 1 and mixes it again April ID. The Ist of May he adds four barrows of rotted manure and mixes thoroughly. About May 18 he digs out a space of ground seven feet in diame ter and fourteen inches deep, fills it in with the compost and some good soil and finishes the hill off ten feet in di ameter and six inches high in the cen ter. After planting he works the ground well till the plants begin to run. When the plants are about three feet long he mulches the ground all over for a space of twenty feet in diameter around each hill with horse manure laid on three inches deep, staking the vines down with sticks to keep the wind from rolling them about, so that they may root at every joint. It is of great advantage to keep the vine from fruiting as long as possible by pruning all fruit bloom off until about the last week in July. Mr. Warnock practices fertilizing a few of the first blooms that come, be lieving that it gives extra vigor to the growth of fruit to be well pollenized. When the first perfect specimens have set well—say four or five inches in di ameter —lie cuts off all other fruit and blossoms and nips the ends off the vines and all bloom that shows twice a week. While the growth of squash is going on liquid manure Is used twice a week along three or four of the princi pal vines of each hill, often six pailfuls to the hill if it Is in dry time. Great care must be taken to give plenty of water. Mr. Warnock ridicules the tales of feeding squash and pumpkin by in jecting milk or other stuff Into the vine. He sa3 - s he did practice some methods along this line, but is now sat isfied that the only thing that will in crease the size of the fruit comes out of the vine, and the vine must get Its sup port from the natural roots. An En»r Soli Tent. The following shows how simple it Is to do some things "when j'ou know how." A writer in Country Life In America tells that an experiment sta tion official was going over a farm with the owner when they came to a crawflsby piece of land just back of the barn. The very weeds looked yel low and unhealthful. •'I am Inclined to thiuk," remarked the agriculturist, "that this land Is too acid for productivity. We can deter mine this in a moment." Taking a blue piece of paper from his pocket, be stooped and dipped the pa per Into some of the soli water that was standing in a cow track. To the Dwuer's astonishment the blue paper changed to a red color as soon as it was immersed. "There," said the agriculturist, "we have our proof. This is Just a piece of litmus paper. For 5 cents you can buy a similar piece at any drug store. Its change of color shows that the land is sour. Crops cannot thrive 011 sour land any more than children can thrive on sour inilk." Clover and Alfalfa Seed. In clover and alfalfa seeds freedom noxious weeds may be considered to be iu direct relation to the amount of reclaiming done. In general, the higher grade of seeds are the safer and In the end the cheaper to buy. A rec ommendation of one of the experiment stations Is worth remembering that 110 alfalfa seed be sown until carefully screened through a screen of twenty meshes to the Inch to remove dodder needs, since dodder Is a menace to al falfa growing. SEWING COTTON. The llninlile Orlisln of the Great Tlirentl liuluxlry. The origin of sewing cotton was told at a cotton manufacturers' meeting by the head of the great thread house of Paisley, Scotland. It was discovered In 1803 by Ms grandfather, who had a little business In Paisley, making silk twine for lieddles, which were used by every weaver. The silk came from Hamburg, and In ISO."? Napoleon caused the stock held there to be burned In or der to hamper Hrltlsh trade. The weav ers were in despair, but James (.'lark conceived the Idea that cotton yarns could be twisted together to form the twines. The experiment succeeded, and from this grew the idea that cotton could be substituted for flax In the manufacture of sewing thread and would not be so coarse and harsh. He began the manu facture of the thread in a very small way. It was at first put up In skeins and had to be wound Into little balls by the purchaser, and then Mr. Clark In vented the modern spools. He had them made by a wood turner, half a gross at a time. They cost him sixpence a doz en. and he charged the pun baser of the thread a halfpenny for the spool, which, however, was refunded when the spool was returned. The ladles of Paisley used to come to his shop with their spools and wait while he wound the thread on them. From this small ln-glunlng grew a great industry. I'nbrrn k a hit*.

It carries off the poisons which contaminate the life fluid It increases the activity of the blood-making glands and gives the body an increased supply of pure, body-building blood. It builds up the body with sound, healthy flesh instead of flabby fat, pro motes the appetite, feeds the nerves, and so gives to weak, nervous people vitality and vigor. "About a year ago I had a very bad cough and feared it would run into consumption," writes Hon Geo. W I.vnch, of 27 Mason Street. Worcester, Mass " When a severe attack of coughing would come on vomiting would set in. Matter accumulated in nose and my tonsils were irritated After reading of the wonderful cures resulting from Dr Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery Negan to use it. with some doubts as to the good it would do me. I am frank to say. But, after I had used one bottle I noticed quite a change for the better. Ordered five more bottles and before I had used them all the cure was complete. There is not now a trace of cough or cold in my system and my health is perfect.' To gain knowledge of your own body—in sickness and health —send for the People's Common Sense Medical Adviser.
