The costly nitrogen which we buy mixed with fertilizer com pounds comes from the rainless regions of Chile and Peru, where great deposits have been found. It seems strange that the very thing that makes stalk and lea in our crops of corn, oats, wheat, &c, should be found in regions where vegetationin seldom found. It i3 never found in its pure state, but comes to U3 as nitrate of soda which contains about fif teen pounds of nitrogen to each one hundred pounds of the mm eral. Close observers claim that there are not nearly as many flies in town as during the former sum mers. Large traps that are be ing set in front of shop3 show that there are still some flies; but the traps do not fill a3 rapidly a3 they did last summer.

As this is vacation time, it might be a good plan to resur rect one of your correspondents, as it seems they have been out of line up for some time, and why Folks who were once resi dents of the County, and live now in other places, usually, upon re ceiving paper, make a hunt lor items from their former homes; and while item writ'.ng'is a task at best, yet what would not be considered news to home readers is appreciated by those away from home. Readers should be slow to fault the writers, and should be willing to assist in fur nishing items. To any who think it light and trivial we say just take a pencil and paper and go to it for a trial and see how tunny it is.

Hereafter, a collection will be taken at each and every concert given, to help defray expenses of the Band. Some people think that It does not require much money to run a band, and again some have wondered where all the money that the Band has ta ken in has gone. For the bene fit of the public, I have made out an itemized statement and put it in Hob man's butcher shop where all can see it.

BORN WITH MORAL QUALITIES Those, at Well the Phyilcal, Chil dren Inherit From the Parent Habit of Obedience. No one for a moment question that children inherit physical quiili- ieB from their parents, but we quite easily forget that moral qualities are also inherited. Parents, apparently intelligent, never seem to realize that their children are composite repro ductions of themselves, added to some peculiarities of ancestors and some originality of their own. Durinir the earlv veara of the child's life he grows in the direction his parents lead or drive mm. He is never again entirely free from the effects of this leadership, whether good or bad. And isn't it true that fathers and mothers can only train their children aright when they have high ideals for themselves? We all know ana most of us for getthat the habit of obedience is formed as any other habit is, by constant practice. It is absolutely indispensable to a strong moral eense, says a writer in World's Work. Tho lack of it leads to all kinds of bad conduct and pelf-indulgences. Of course, if we are to preserve any thing like order in a community, the individuals must obev the laws, lo most people this comes natural, the fact that a law exists being sutlu ieiit reason why it should be kept. There are always some people, though, who find it very difficult to conform to the regulations, no matter how salu tary.

EVERY OWNER UKES THE DAIRYMAID mvm s s s ' s s j sriiiiiN The man who buys a cream separator at random the first one he may see Is likely to get apy grade of quality. Ho may get an economical, satisfactory machine, or be may buy one that will never get the right amount of profits out of his milk. It is best to go carefully and buy wisely. Study the Dairymaid. Every detail is built for service and It will give you service and highest dairy profits. Tako for instance, the method ot oiling; with the exception of the neck bearing, all the working parts of the Dairymaid cream separator are oiled by an automatic splash system.
