A story is told of General Sir Al- fred Horsford, who belived in a celi- bate army. A soldier once sought his permission to marry, saying he had two good conduct badges and $25 in the savings bank. ‘Well, go away,” said Sir Alfred, “and if you come back this day year in the same mind you shall marry. I'll keep the va- cancy.” On the anniversary the sol- dier repeated his request. “But do you really, after a year, want to marry?’ “Yes, sir, very much.” “Sergeant major, take his name down. Yes, you may marry. I never believed there was so much con- stancy in man or woman Right face; quick march!” As the man left the room, turning his head, he said, “Thank you, sir; it isn’t the same woman.” A Kippered Salutation. A worthy French Protestant pastor was guest in a Scottish manse. = One morning kippered herrings were served at breakfast. The French pas- tor asked the meaning of "kipper.” His host replied that it meant ‘to preserve.” On taking his leave next day the French pastor, wringing his host’s hand, said: “May the Lord kipper you, my good friend.”—The Spectator.

The True Way to Correct Nervous Troubles. Nervous troubles are more often caused by improper food and indiges- tion than most people imagine. Even doctors sometimes overlook this fact, A man says: “Until two years 2g0 waffles and putter with meat and gravy were the main features of my breakfast. Fin- ally dyspepsia cam: On and I found myself in a bad condition, worse in the morning than any other time. 1 would have a full, sick feeling in my stomach, with pains in. my heart, sides and head. “At times I would have no appe- tite for days, then I would feel rav- enous, never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shrieking at the top of my voice. I lost flesh badly and hardly knew which way to turn until one day I bought a box of Grape-Nuts food to see if I could ect that. I tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel as if I had something to eat that was satisfying and still 1 didn’t have that heaviness that I had felt after eating any other food. “J hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks. I kepton with the Grape- Nuts ané in a month and a half I had gained 15 pounds, could eat aimost anything I wanted, didn’t feel badly after eating, and my nervousness was all gone, It's a pleasure to be well again.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A gangrenous condition of the comb and sometimes of the toes. It may ap- pear in common with diseases of the liver. Causes: Feeding spoiled or damaged grains, more particularly grain affected with “spur” or “smut;” ergot poisoning. Large . combed fowls are more often affected. Symp- toms: Comb turns dark red or purple, may turn black at extremities; tips of points and other portions of comb may ‘dry rot’ and drop off. May or may not have diarrhoea. Toes may become gangrenous and drop off.” If not severely affected the bird may re- cover after losing porticns of comb and toes. Treatment: Give tea made of fresh white oak bark freely in the drinking water, and mix food with it. Keep: the bird in warm, sunny, well aired quarters. Feed iresh cabbage and onions, also steamed clover freely. Prevent by avoiding all spoiled or dis- eased shuffs.-—Reliable Poultry Jour- nal. To Destroy Cabbage Worms. flour of sulphur freely on the cabbage. Fill the cover of a baking powder can with small nail holes, like a pepper box, fill the can with sulphur and use for a sifter. Do not wait until the worms zppear on the cabbage: before applying it, but begin with it as soon as the first white bhutterfiies are secn circling over the cabbage patch. mediately after a rain or while the cabbages are wet with dew sift sul- phur over them, well down among the leaves, two or three times a week. if there is neither rain nor dew wet the cabbage with a watering pot or sprinkle with a whisk broom and pail of water, as the cabbages must ¢ wot 50 the sulphur will adbere to them. Jt destroys the eggs, also the worms. We never failed to have fine cabbage free from worms, when all our neighbors, who did not use our plan, had their cabbage destroyed by worms. The Strawberry Crown Borer. This is the most troublesome of all the insect enemies cf the strawberry. It is a small brown’ beetle when adult, not very different from the plum curculio, but smooth. The egz seems to be laid close to the bases of the leaves, and the young footless grub bores down into the interior of the thick stem, completing its growth there and coming out as an adult in August and September. Once a bed has become infested with this insect its destruction is only a question of time. If the number ot beetles present is small it may be possible to get very good crops from the bed before the insect takes com- plete possession, but beds planted nearby are endangered and im course of time a place becomes so badly in- fesed that strawberries cannot be grown with profit on it. It ‘is especially important for the nurseryman to keep his plant beds free so that he may not he the means of disseminating the past. I am sorry to say that inspections show that some of our nurserymen have not been sufficiently careful in this respect.— Iniand Farmer. Why Butter Prices Hold Up. Much speculation is’ indulged in about the fact that with all the sup- posed great increase in creameries the prices of butter still hold up. Hoard’s Dairyman says: Those who speculate forget two or three things: (1) That the cow is the source of the butter supply, not the creamery. (2) That the more dense the cow population becomes in any section, the less proportion of heifer calves are raised. (3) That the increase in milk con- sumption has been so great that a very large share of the cows of the country have been diverted from but- ter making to that business. (4) That the increase of COWs in this country is only about five per- cent yearly, so it takes about twenty years to double the cow population. (5) That ihe progress of dairy ideas among farmers is teaching them to weed out the unprofitable cows, thus reducing very receptibly the milk sup- ply for unprofitable butter-making. (6) That the percentage of increas: of population is much greater than the percentage of increase in cows, while the consumption of milk and butter per capita has been steadily on the increase. All thesc things tend to strengthen the dairy business in all its parts and keep prices to a healthy grade. The Hand Separator. The dairy size cream separator has come to stay. To the dairyman re- mote from a market for his milk it ‘ ereamery to refuse to buy their pro- To a farmer thus situated, it has brought the greatest benefits. Then there are those who are pat- rons of local creameries and have pur- chased hand separators so as to have better skimmilk for feeding purposes. Whether they have accomplished their purpose in all cases is a de- Batable question, but the fact remains that they have the hand separators, and it is poor business policy for any duct. The more sensible plan is to employ tactics which will insure an improve- ment in the quality of the cream, and make the hand separator patron of the creamery understand: that his pro- duct is just as welcome as that of the whole milk patron, provided he de- livers a pure, wholesome product. Ed- ucate and help the hand separator patron instead of driving away his business just because he delivers his butter fat in cream instead of milk.— Boston Cultivator. Diseases of Trees. ; The many diseases of trees seriously affect the production of fruit. The grower may be exceedingly careful and vet meet with obstacles, and he may even leave fallen fruit or any other refuse materials around ithe trees in winter. They are the vehicles of germs, and as the winds scatter light substances to other locations, the failure to clean away the refuse from a single affected tree may cause the spread of disease over the entire or- chard. It is useless to cut away dead limbs and burn them if the spores of fungus diseases can be scattered broadcast by materials that could be easily cleared up in a short time. Work during the winter can be done to good advantage in destroying the borers, and the eggs of the millers, which produce worms, can be cleared from the trees; in fact, every tree will be benefited by scraping and washing with a strong solution of lye while spraying small orchards with a so- lution of whale oil soap is claimed to be a remedy for the scale insect, the lime-sulphur remedy being used in large orchards. The trees of an or- chard usually show the effects of good treatment. The peach which sometimes appears to succumb to no apparent .canse, will respond to severe pruning and take on new life. Many trees, especially those in old orchards, are iust as they were when first set out, never having been trimmed. They can be improved by pruning, but it should be done judiciously, and not by going into the orchard and cutting off large limbs indiscriminately. Or-, chards that have never paid a dollar can be made to give good profits if the same amount of labor is given them as is bestowed on grain or grass crops.—Philadelphia Record. Handiing Vicious Horses. A balky horse can be cured, when under a saddle, by a very simple meth- od. Turn him around and around in his tracks a few times and then sud- denly straighten his head and he will willingly, and even gladly, go : for- ward. This was the method of the celebrated John S. Rarey and has never been known to fail. The “iibbler” differs from the balk- er. inasmuch as his so-called vice is caused by congestion of the brain. The horse thus affected, is liable to bolt or run away after one of these attacks and is a dangerous animal. Rearing, although commonly termed a vice, is often caused by too severe a curb. Sometimes the rearing horse loses his balance and falls backward. It is needless to say that the rider is lucky if he or she escapes without serious, if not fatal, injury. When the horse rears, loosen the reins and speak to him in a soothing tone; but if he persists give him a sharp blow between the ears with the butt of the whip. This will bring him down on all fours with amazing quickness. Kicking is certainly a vice. Some- times, however, it is caused by fear, in which case much can be accom- plished by gentle management. HEx- actly the opposite treatment of the rearing animal should be applied to the kicker. Hold his head up with might and main, for the horse cannot throw out both legs at once when his head is elevated. Kicking straps are what the name implies. A strap fas- tened to the shafts over the horse’s croup prevents kicking; but this is only serviceable when driven in single harness. Shying is a dangerous fault. It cannot properly be termed a vice; it is generally the result of defective vision. Gentle treatment, soothing words and patient persistence in ac- customing the animal to the dreaded object will often affect a cure. To lash a horse because he shies or is fright- ened only aggravates the evil. He will associate punishment with the fright ful object and will fear it more and has been a great boon, and has been the means of furnishing him a market | for the output of his dairy. It has en- abled him to sell cream at a good price where he formerly made it into butter and sold his product as ‘“pack- | tos stoek’ at a low price. i more each time he encounters it.-—— Country Life in America.

In ‘FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW CARS AND LABOR ARE LACKING Industries Handicapped hy Traffic De- lays—High Wages Fail to Secure Workmen. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly “Review of Trade’ says: “Busines experienced the -custo- mary interruptions during election week, but a more permanent retard- ing influence was the inadequate supply of freight cars and labor. Many industries are severely handi- other cases there is idle machinery because hands cannot be secured, despite the high wages offered. This difficulty threatens to reduce the lumber cut materially. “Retail trade is well maintained by lower temperature in some sections of the country and the full employment of labor at all points, while whole- sale business in holiday goods is very heavy. “Tardy deliveries still cause com- plaint in the iron and steel industry, unprecedented production by the fin- ishing mills falling behind the re- quirements of consumers. New lake vessels have been ordered, which means more business in plates, al- though the mills are already booked beyond the first quarter of next year. Standard steel rails are held steady, but light rails have again advanced. Several large pipe contracts are pending, including one for India, yet the mills have so much business on hand that there is not the customary sharp competition to get new busi- ness. More advances have occurred in pig iron and the new ore season has opened with a rise of from 50 cents to 75 cents per ton. “Less interest is shown in the pri- mary market for cotton goods, al- though there is a fair volume of business in progress. The persistent reaction in raw material has had in- fluence at last, buyers now believing that concessions must follow a period of indifference on their part. Little expert buying is reported. Better conditions arg noted in woolen goods. .. Interrupted movement of grain to primary markets and the consequent restriction of foreign business as well as activity of Northwest flour mills checked the upward tendency of quo- tations and caused some reaction. “Phenomenally heavy port re- ceipts of cotton carried prices still lower. although there was the sup- port of exports well above last year.
