DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?
Profit by the Experience of One Who
Has Found Relief.
James R. Keeler, retired farmer,
of Fenner St., Cazenovia, N. Y., says:
“About fifteen years ago I suffered
2 with my back and
kidneys. 1 doctored
and used many reme-
dies - without getting
relief. Beginning
. with Doan’s Kidney
2 Pills, I found relief
. from the first box,
and two boxes re-
TS 4 stored me to good,
sound condition. My wife and many
of my friends have used Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills with good results and I can
earnestly recommend them.”

Drinking Prohibited.
The use of whisky and other alco-
holic beverages by Government or
municipal employes during hours of
service is practically prohibited in
Belgium, with the result that drunk-
enness is rarely met with in any
branch of the public service and never
among railway employes.
TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
«Scratched Until Bled—Wonder=-
ful Cure by Cuticura.
“Last year I suffered with a tremendous
itching on my back, which grew worse and
worse until it spread over the whole body,
and only my face and hands were free.
For four months or so I suffered torments,
and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch until
I bled. At night when I went to bed
things got worse, and I had at times to
get up and seratch my body all over until
I was as sore as could be, and until 1 suf:
fered excruciating pain. They told me
that I was suffering from eczema. Then
I made up my mind that I would use the
Cuticura Remedies. I used them accord-
ing to instructions, and very soon indeed
T was greatly relieved. I continued until
well, and now I am ready to recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to any one. Mrs.
Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla, June
28, 1905.”

We Are Growing Younger.
‘We are a younger people than we
were 50 years ago. The proportion of
babies to the total population has in-
creased. The proportion of old peo-
ple has diminished. So says the
United States census of 1900. Of the
babies that are born, three now reach
the age of 5 for every two that
reached it 50 years ago. Infant mor-
tality has diminished, but old-age
mortality has increased. Since 1890
the increase of the death rate from
60 to 64 is 7 per cent; from 65 to 69,
61% per cent; from 70 to 74, 16% per
cent; from 75 to 79, 7 per cent; from
80 to 84, 15 per cent; from 85 to 89,
12 per cent; from 90 to 94, 3014 per
cent; from 95 up, 201% per cent. That
is the record that Dr. John V. Shoe-
maker gleans from the census of 1890,
and corrects by later information pro-
cured from Washington. So we die
earlier than our grandparents did.
The reasons suggested for it are
that a larger proportion of weak-
lings survive infancy, and that life is
more luxurious, and the nervous
strain of it greater than it used to
be.—Harper’s Weekly.
First Traveler Incognito.
Some investigator of curious sub-
jects has discovered that the inventor
of traveling incognito was Peter the
Great of Russia. The next after the
famous Russian sovereign to adopt
the practice was Joseph II, of Austria,
who, in 1777, made a little stay in
Paris under the title of Count von
Falkenstein. Charles X. passed as
the Counte de Marles. The ex-Em-
press Eugenia, in her splendor, fre-
quently took little trips as the
Comtesse de Pierrefonds. King Leo-
pola does so still as Comte de Raven-
stein.
NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Res
lief.
Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal—stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
‘The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat—white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.—these
things are digested in the small in-
testines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
tion, indigestion,‘and a long train of
ails result. :
Too’ much fat also Is hard to di-
gest and this is changed into acids,
sour stomach, belching gas, and a
bloated, heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress, but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
«Apout five years ago I suffered
with bad stomach—dayspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation—caused, I know
now, from eating starchy and greasy
food. ,
“I doctored for two years without
any benefit. © The doctor told me
there was no cure for me. I could
not eat anything without suffering
gevere pain in my back and sides, and
I became discouraged.
“A friend recommended Grape-
Nuts and I began to use it. In less
than two weeks I began to feel better
and inside of two months I was a
well woman and have been ever since.
«1 can eat anything I wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast and are very
fond of it.” Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the
1ittle book, “The Road to Wellville,"”’

zThe Great American Hen.
Some one has figured that the
American hen each year earns enough
to buy all the silver and gold dug out
of the mines, all the sheep in the coun-
try and their wool, and leave a balance
equal to the entire year’s crop of rye,
barley, buckwheat and potatoes. Or,
as a hen enthusiast writes in Farming,
“she pays the interest on all the farm
mortgages, pays the entire state and
county taxes of the whole Union and
then leaves a balance large enough to
give every man, woman and child in
the United States a dollar.”
Cutting Silo Corn.
It is of primary importance to know
at what stage corn should be cut to
secure the best results. It is also nec-
essary it is pointed out in Farming,
that a careful study be .made as to
how rapidly nutriment is stored up in
the corn plant and when the maximum
amount is reached. When corn is ful-
ly tasseled it contains but eight-tenths
of a ton of dry matter an acre or one-
fifth of what it contains when fully
ripe. When in milk it contains near-
ly three times as much dry matter as
when fully tasseled. Only seventeen
days were occupied in passing from the
milk to the glazing stage, yet in this
time there was an increases in the dry
matter of 1.3 tons an acre. This shows
the great advantage of letting the corn
stand until the kernels are glazed. Af-
ter this period the increase in dry mat-
ter is but slight.
Contaminated Grass.
An inspection of grass and clover
seed, undertaken by the Vermont Agri-
cultural Experiment station, has very
great significance for farmers who buy
their seeds in the open market; for
it plainly appears that much of the
seed 80 sold is of very inferior qual-
ity. The Vermont station authorities,
acting in conjunction with the bureau
of plant industry, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, examined
735 lots of seed, representing fourteen
varieties, and found them all more or
less contaminated by the seeds of weed
—sometimes harmless but often dele-
terious, to say nothing of inert foreizn
matter, dirt and chaff. Samples of clo-
ver seeds were found to contain 13,-
000 weed seeds to the pound, one sam-
ple including 16,000 seeds of the red
plantain. The tests also involved ex-
amination of the germinating power,
which was often found to be low.
Save Falling Leaves.
‘When the leaves begin to fall, do not
burn them. Save all of them. They
make the humus that by and by be-
comes soil, and is of immense value in
all its stages of change. The most
irrational work ever done by a human
being is to take what Nature has spent
the whole summer in creating for him,
and throw it back into its elemental
conditions. These leaves are Nature's
contribution, and her very best con-
tribution to man’s wealth. They are
naturally spread all over the lawns
each year, as a winter protection; and
after they have accomplished that mis-
sion they are worked over into a com-
post of humus. As a rule do not rake
them too completely off the lawns. The
leaves you do take instead of burning,
use for banking up buildings, for that
will save coal; to cover or bank plants;
for stable bedding; or on the floors of
henhouses, and in rooms where the
hens may scratch during the winter.

Eat More Apples.
Farmers and others who have a good
apple orchard handy will be interested
in what “Naturopath” has to say about
their value for medicinal purposes: Ap-
ple eating, especially before retiring, is
very beneficial to health. Apples are
very nutritious, for they contain more
phosphoric acid than any oter fruit
or vegetable. If eaten before retiring
the brain and liver will.-be.benfited;
undisturbed sleep is produced; the odor
of the mouth is disinfected; the super-
fluous acids of the stomach are re-
strained; hemorrhoidal disturbances
are paralyzed; secretion of the kidneys
is accelerated, and the formation of
stone prevented. - The eating of apples
is also an excellent preventive of in-
digestion, and of certain forms of
throat troubles.
This stray verse emphasizes the sug-
gestion:
Apple a day, keeps the doctor away;
Apple at night, starve him outright;
Apple each meal and one for sleep—
Kill him and shroud him and bury him
deep!
Winter Dairying.
Winter dairying is each year grow-
ing in favor with farmers. They have
found that the cost of keeping a win-
ter milker is very little more than of
keeping a cow that is to calve in the
spring. The cows in the summer milk-
ed dairy will be drying off in Novem-
ber and by December the dairy will be
a dry one, unprofitable, yet reguiring
a great amount of feed and care. How
much better it is to have the .cows
come in fresh in October, keep them
well fed and in comfortable stables
milk
and secure a umiform flow of
through the winter until grass comes
again. This work has been made eas-
ier since the silo has come into use,
and plenty of succulent feed is always
at hand.
When an old dairyman comes to real
ize what it cost him in the past to
winter an unproductive dairy—the la-
bor and the thousands of tons of hay
expended to bridge the dairy from one
season to another, just to get the cows
to cheap grass and low prices—it looks
like a fortune gone. Now, by the lat-
er plan, the cows are most largely pro-
ductive when the food they consume is
dearest and prices best.
Potatoes for Poultry.
A writer in “Mirror and Farmer” be-
lieves in potatoes for poultry, fed in
connection with some other food to
balance the ration. They should be
boiled, but need not be mashed unless
one prefers, as the smallest chick can
pick them to pieces. If mashed, how-
ever, and a suitable mess made of
them, they will be better relished. Af-
ter cooking them take ten pounds of
potatoes, four pounds of bran, one
pound of linseed meal, one-half pound
of bone meal and one ounce of salt,
and mix the whole, having the mess as
dry as possible, using no water unless
compelled. Such a meal should an-
swer at night for one hundred hens,
and the morning meal should consist
of five pounds of lean meat chopped.
Hens so fed should lay and pay well,
as the food is composed of the re-
quired elements for producing eggs,
end also for creating warmth of body
in winter. The morning feed seems
hardly sufficient for a flock of 100
unless it is assumed that it is in ad-
dition to a grain ration. The Glean-
er would also prefer to feed the mash
in the morning, with grain towards
night, especially in winter. A crop
full of maeh to go to roost with would
naturally get a bit “clammy” in a zero
night, Presumably, however, the ex-
periment has given satisfactory results.
Sugar Beets in France.
“The alcohol which is used in
France,” says Consul-General Mason,
of Paris, ‘for various industrial pur-
poses is manufactured mainly from
sugar beet root, the material being
either the refuse molasses from sugar
factories or beets which by reason of
unfavorable weather, inferior soil or
other causes, contain only a small pro-
portion—4 to 6 percent—of sugar. Po-
tatces and grain are also used to some
extent for distilling purposes, but to
a relatively much less extent than in
Germany.
‘The French government, like that
of Germany, ‘was attracted by the idea
that if the manufacture and use of de-
natured alcohol could be sufficiently
stimulated and extended there would
not only be added an important prod-
uct to home agriculture, but the coun-
try would be provided in case of war
with a native grown fuel for military
vehicles and other important purposes
which would not be imperiled by the
interruption of an imported supply of’
petroleum products. Accordingly, the
minister of commerce and agriculture
organized a special ‘exposition and of-
fered prizes for the most effective types
of alcohol motors, both stationary and
pertable, for motor vehicles, and agri-
cultural machinery, as well as alcohol
lamps, stoves and other fixtures for do-
mestic use.”
Maintaining Fertility.
There are several things the farmer
must take into consideration when he
sets about to learn how to maintain
the fertility of his soil, writes C. D.
Smith in the “Cultivator.” The first
is, what to raise and what not to raise,
what to sell from the farm and what
not to sell. There are some crops that
require less fertility than other crops
and still bring the farmer as much
money. There are some crops that sell
for practically no more than other
crops, yet they take from the soil two
or three times as much fertility. There
are some products that can be procured
on the farm, which when sold will
remove practically no fertility from the
soil. However they can be sold for as
much or more than crops that draw
heavily on the supply of fertility on
the soil.
Corn or wheat removes a great deal
of fertility from the soil. To pro-
duce an acre of corn it requires over
$17 worth of fertility. To sell $500
worth of corn and corn foraze from a
farm will mean a loss of more than
$350 worth of plant food. To produce
an acre of wheat it requires no less
than $10 worth of fertility, and to sell
$500 worth of wheat and burn the
straw in the stack as is done by some
readers of The Journal of Agriculture
in the Southwest, would mean a loss
to the soil of no less than $250 worth
of fertility, while if $500 worth of
butter is sold from the farm no more
than $2 worth of fertility is taken to
market with the butter. If $500 worth
of fat cattle are sold, the amount of
fertility removed will, of course, be
more than that by butter, but in no
case will it be as great as that removed
by the grains.
HINGE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN’S WEEKLY SUMMARY
Lower Temperature Has Stimulated
Retail Trade in Seasonable
Staples—Jobbers Busy.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says:
Lower temperature has stimulated
retail trade in seasonable staples, but
interest is most conspicuous in holi-
day goods. [Expectations of a record-
breaking demand for Christmas spec-
ialties are being fully realized. Job-
bing and wholesale houses are doing
well for the season, but reports of
mercantile collections show much ir-
sregularity.
The movement of freight is restrict-
ed by inadequate facilities, causing
much trouble in the factories and
mills, except where the supply of la-
bor and raw materials is insufficient,
and the vigorous demand for all com-
modities is indicated by the highest
level of prices in recent years.
The closing month of the year in
the iron and steel industry promises
lo fully maintain the phenomenal rate
of progress that has been experienc-
ed during the autumn, notwithstand-
ing a further advance in some quota-
tions that might be expected to cur-
tail operations. Every available plant
is now actively engaged, except where
material cannot be secured, and the
vblume of business booked for next
year assures many new records in
1907, unless some unforseen disaster
causes extensive cancellation of or-
ders.
Textile mills are operating a large
percentage of the available machinery
although the inadequate supply of la-
bor continues to be a drawback. In-
creased strength has developed in a
number of varieties of packer hides.
Leather is firm but trade is quiet, es-
pecially at the East.

First Humane Asylum.
In 1796 Mr. William Tuke, a Quak-
er, opened the first rational asylum
for the insane in York, England. A
few years earlier a Frenchman named
Pinel had made a similar effort to re-
store the mentally deficient to the
rank of human beings. Pinel’s plan
was ‘that of non-restraint, a system
then unheard of and, of course, to be
ridiculed as a preposterous heresy. It
is now being followed everywhere.
The British Medical Journal obD-
serves thus: The strength and great:
ness of a nation do not lie in the sin-
ews of its people, nor in the money
ags of its traders, nor in the glib-
ness of its orators, but in the devo-
tion of its citizens to a lofty ideal of
public and private duty, in the love
for all that is true and gcod and
beautiful, and the hatred of all that
in false, evil, mean and ugly: in their
strenuous pursuit of knowledge and
their readiness to upply it to the mak
ing of life larger, fuller and happier
for all.

the first report made to Postmaster
eneral Cortelyou by a newly ap-
