Rheumatism hns long been regarded as a trouble which, while it might be painful, wan not necessarily dangerous. Very few persons, It was thought, ever died from Rheumatism. Pick up a pa per to-day, and you will see that the majority of sudden deatliB are due to some form of neglected Rheumatism. Rheumatism of the heart, neurnlgia of the heart, paralysis and prisonous Rheumatic acid are among the most dangerous forms of the disease. If Rheumatic acid poison is allowed to stay in the system, sudden death can scarcely be averted. There is but ono cure for Rheumatism, and that is Smith's Specific. Urlc-O. No other Rheumatic remedy can possibly do as muoli for the disease. Urio-O is a posi tive cure for Lumbago, Muscular and Articular Rheumatism.

There is moro or less uiieveuness, vlth complaints of hitter rot In parts of the west and of apples lulling bad ly fur ler east, although, as a whole, the i ,e crop of the United States will prove of liberal proportions. The cut suggests the activities of the pick ing season.

American Agriculturist concludes the foregoing comments in follows: The fact of tiie mutter Is the lien Davis is not so bud If properly handled. When placed where the apple tends to lose its moisture and shrlnlc it becomes tough nml spongy but If kept lu the right kind of a fruit house It holds its plump ness. Is a reasonably good cooking ap ple and Is not so bail eating out of hand. A Kansas farmer writes in an ex change of this fruit: Hen Davis has broken Inlo Scotland, and the people there are, glad to receive him. Ene mies of lien have said that the hardy Scotchman who has lieou living on oatmeal perhaps does not mind the hrnnlike taste. That's nil right, so Hen gets there with both loot. The Amer ican producer of tho Hen Davis apple Is not going to Inquire about that so long as they sell well. (niter In Dairy llnnis. Nothing else so conduces to clean milk and clean cows under ordinary conditions as a platform of proper width and a gutter of snllicient width and depth. For largo cows I prefer a platform four feet and eight to ten Inches wide and a gutter from sixteen to twenty Inches wide and eight to ten Inches deep. If there Is sutllclent room a gutter of the larger dimensions will be found satisfactory and with no defects. I like gutters cither en tirely of cement or of four Inch brick walls on each side, with Inside of walls and bottom cemented, the latter direct ly on earth if the bottom Is good. The wall next to the platform should be covered by a plunk two by twelve, fastened so that It will not slide over the edge of the gutter. J. W. V. In New England Homestead. Keening I'otntoea. If you pour the potatoes pellinell Into the bin don't be surprised if they rot. Bruised potatoes are very apt to spoil. That means loss, and loss' means hard times by and by. Keep the potatoes from the light and r.ir from the time they are dug. They should lie on the ground only .lust long enough to dry n little so that the moist dirt will rattle oft' when they are han dled. Keep the bin covered with old blankets, bran sacks, etc., all the time, and keep the cellar windows closed after they are' nil In. Take a lesson from nature and see how the potatoes grow.

SILAGE FOR SHEEP. Opinion of Feeders Do Nut AgrfS, How It Ik Isetl. A sheep grower of Indiana lias the following to any In the Indiana Fann er iu r 'gard to the use of silage: "Some sheep growers are enthusi astic in their praises of corn silage as a food for sheep. Ou the other hand, a largo number do not think bo well of It. All those who have tried it have agreed with reference to the wisdom of feeding a moderate quantity to the flock when the allage has been prop erly cured. Ou the other hand, quite a number have found trouble when feeding it In largo quantities. On the whole, It Is not to be considered as sat isfactory fowl for sheep as field roots, since, more especially when there Is much corn In the silage, It has a tendency to produce a heated condi tion of the system, which with breed lug ewes Is not desirable. It Is not well perhaps to feed com slhigo to a breeding llock more than once a day, and when so fed the aim should lie to give them clover hay or alfalfa at least once a day In order to produce a proper balance In tho ration. In cold weather It Is probably wiser to feed the silage at noon than morning or night. When exposed to such weather for only a few minutes the tempera ture as cool as Is frequently found In sheep sheds will freeze more or less, or If It does not freer.o It becomes very cold. For tills reason It Is better to feed It In the middle of the day In cold weather, for at that lime the tem perature Is usually many degrees warmer than In the morning or even ing. It Is not common to feed mure than two to four pounds of silage per head per day to sheep, but soino farm ers who grow winter lambs feed as much as that twice a day, more espe cially after the lambs have been born. A great advantage of silage us n food for sheep consists lu Its cheapness. It furnishes the cheapest rood that may be fed to them, and when properly fed there should be no four of hurtful re sults from feeding silage well made." - Jr FARM MLCHANICS. A IIoiiioiiiikIo Tool For DrlllliiK Holes In Mclnl. On our farm we have a shop for re pairing machinery. It Is an essential factor lu farm iiiMiiagement to be able to repair breakages and keep the ma chinery lu good working condition, writes a contributor In Orange .ludd Farmer. The accompanying Illustration shows a drill made to drill holes for repair ing purposes. This machine will-drill a hole through steel or wrought Iron as quickly ns a drill we have that cost several dollars. The main piece upon which the drill rests Is a 4 by 4 two feet aix Inches long mounted upon four legs Hindi! of oak 2 by 4 materials. The legs are worked down to two Inches square at the bottom to secure nealness and make the drill as light oh possible. Tho mi) in standard Is a 2 by 4 two feet high mortised Into the main 4 by 4. The stub standard Is also a 2 by 4 eight Inches high and mortised iu tho same 4 by 4 an Inch from tho end and two and a half Inches from the main standard. The shaft to which the largo wheel Is attached Is a three-quarter Inch bolt fifteen Inches long. At the HOMEMADE DBILL. , head a hole Is drilled Into the bolt, heat ed and then squared In order that the drill may be securely held. To feed the drill a steel spring sixteen Indies long Is bolted to the top of the main stand ard and attached to the drill bolt by a slot In the spring. The small wheel at tached to a threaded bolt does the feed ing. The piece upon which the pressure is put while drilling is a 4 by 4 mor tised Into the main 4 by 4 In the form of a sliding slot In order that any dis tance can be procured according to the size of the iron intended to be drilled. A bolt passes through this piece from underneath the 4 by 4. By loosening the bolt it can be moved to any re quired distance. Amonar the Poultry. The year's experimenting seems to warrant the 'conclusion that the dry feeding method is as good as and no better than the wet mash when the latter is properly handled. Dry feeding with a limited amount of meat scrap will likely give better re sults In the hands of Inexperienced or overworked poultrymen than the regu lar method. There is no speclul advantage iu the dry mash in feeding apartment or yard ed flocks. With colony flocks dry feeding can be arranged to save labor and promises to make the colony method moro profita ble than any other for commercial poultrymen. The dry feeding method as nppliej to ffte feeding of young chicks Is a very different matter and will be discussed later. National Stockman and Farmer. Jaop mi vm Ik1 I mi f -J THE GRANGE Conducted by J. W. OARROW. Chatham. N. Y Prcm Cnrratumdent JVrvt Twh Kfute (Jrtmge AS POLICEMAN.- ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE GRANGE SUGGESTED. It Should That Urn Affecting Farmers' Interests Arc Unforced. ' Instances Cited In Michigan. Every well Informed member of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry Is aware ot the fact that among Its earli est achievements was tho enforcement of laws in tho central western states against sharpers who claimed royalties on slide gates and driven wells. These royalties amounted to about $10 on each gate or well, and while the claims were believed to be unjust and without foundation most fanners would pay the $10 rather than tight the matter In the courts. At this point the grange stepped lu and took the farmer's part aud with grange funds prosecuted a test case, won the suit and stopped the blackmail. It was an Instance of what the graage could do as a policeman, and it did it because It had the Interests of the farmer at heart. A Michigan grange paper thinks that there are still opportunities for the grango to do police work and cites two or three Instances. In one county In Michigan a peculiar state ot affairs Is disclosed. The county treasurer hns a large amount of funds in hand which the law requires him to apportion every three months among the townships, but Instead of doing so he puts It In a bank lu which he Is financially Interested. Ho tells the farmer supervisors when they ask hi in why he does not comply with tho law that thoy are a lot of blockheads nnd when they ask 111 in to examine his books says that lie does not keep any and that ho will appor tion the money when ho gets ready. Now, ns mandamus proceedings would cost about $100 and ns there are not many farmers who euro to pay $100 to vindicate a principle noticing is done to bring this public servant to justice. Our contemporary suggests that tho state grange might very well act ns a policeman lu this case. Another Instance In Ohio relates to a two cent faro between stations in that state, Michigan has the same law, but the railroad running from Adrian to Toledo charges 3 cents per mile, claiming that tlie two stations "are not within tho state," but are In two differ ent states. A complaint to the Inter state commission might Induce some action In the mutter, but no prlvnte In dividual seems to have Interest enough to do It. Hero again tho grango police man might step In nnd endeavor to se cure Justice. There Is no doubt that tlie grange has certain duties along this line nnd to take t,he aggressive In .enforcing laws which bear upon the farmer's Interests, but in those cases where farmers are not directly Interested It would lie quite as well to let others perform the police act. A COMMENDABLE POSITION. Orange Orllplnls Shonlil Not Accept Political Office, Sara State Mauler Fuller. State Master George A. Fuller has Bet a good example for all grange of ficials in the emphatic statement which he issued when It was reported iu tho daily press that he had been selected by tho Hearst managers for the posi tion of state treasurer on their ticket. Mr. Fuller said, "I wish It to be distinctly understood by everybody that I am not a candidate for any po litical ollice of any nature, nor will I accept any political ollice from any party while I hold the position ot mas ter of the state grange." There Is no other defensible position for nny Im portant officer In the state or national grango to take concerning political' office. Never can one who does accept such political recognition hope to avoioV criticism. Just or unjust. It Is wisest to avoid every possibility of an en tangling alliance. While it may be true and has been true that high officers In the state grange have filled high of fices, politically, with honor to them selves and to the grange, they have not been without criticism as to using the grange for political purposes. The chasm between the grange and partisan politics would better be left unbrldged. Keep This In Mind. The prosperous grange not only gets pew members, but keeps the old. The most successful grange is not the one that has enrolled the largest number, but that which keeps the largest per tentage of Its enrollment on the list if active workers. People do not Join the grange for the sake of joining, but for the good to be obtained after they become members. Thlncs Near Home. State Lecturer Gardner of Massachu setts says that some portion of grange lecture hours may well be spent in the discussion of topics strictly local, as town and social questions, which enter directly Into the lives of the members. This makes the grange a practical or ganization and oftentimes puts it at tlie lead in securing needed community Improvements. Almost Eights- Thonannd Members. Over 0,000 members have been added to the grango In New York state since Jan. 1. There are now about C15 granges In tlie state, with a total mem bership of about 79,000. Surely Now York retains the head of tho line In a notable ninuner. GOOD ROADS IN FRANCE. now Ther Are Constructed nnd Main tained. Consul Rrunot of St Ftlenne writes of tlie excellent roads lu Franco and the government method of maintaining them. He says: "France had wretched rouds In for mer times, ami this notwithstanding Hie good example left by the Itoman oc cupation. Indeed, hlgltroud accidents were a favorite stock lu trade of the old romancers. Now the roads are not only nearly perfect and good at all seasons, but are beautified by artistic tone bridges aud frequently lined with fruit and shade trees. Spasmodic ef forts were made to better the roads, mostly around Paris, under Louis XIV. (1043-1715), but It was not until about 1775 that the serious work of building great roads of national extent was un dertaken, and Napoleon I. carried It forward vigorously as a part of his mil itary schemes, uniting frontier points with the capital. Never has the work ceased, except during periods of war, and the more difficult sections, at first left to a more convenient season, are steadily being built, while new cutoffs and connecting links are continually being declared open for service. The roads are divided Into six classes, as follows: "First National roads, built and maintained by the government, 21,800 miles. "Second. Departmental (state) roads, built and maintained by the political divisions traversed by them, 15,700 miles. "Third. Principal local roads, trav ersing two or more townships (com munes), are malntuiued by them with government aid, 124,000 miles. "Fourth. Secondary local roads, the same as tlie preceding, except that they ore of less Importance and arc maintained by tho townships under su pervision by the government, 150,000 miles. "Fifth. Minor local roads, still less Important than the foregoing and maintained by the townships under the supervision of government engineers. "Sixth. Rural roads, limes of small importance entirely maintained by the townships without any Intervention or supervision by thcgovcrnmeiit. "The rules for grades are national roads, 3 per cent; depart mental roads, 4 per cent; principal and secondary local roads, 5 per cent, which Is the maximum allowed, except hi extremely mountainous regions or on the most difficult sections of the less im portant rondB, where there Is too little traffic to warrant the expense of reducing tlie grade to within the rule. The method of construction for merly was to grade the bed level and lay a stone'dressiug of a depth of 17 Inches In the middle, diminishing to 14 Inches at the sides, but experience proved that u belter plau was to give tlie earth bed the same rounded form Intended for the surface, and the thick ness of the stone layer was reduced to 11 Inches. This is the method now generally followed, and alxnit 8,700 miles of the most recent construction have been built ou this plan, the others being macadam roads, built of material found ou the spot, and some minor roads of gravel and earth." King Drag Work on Roads. The Influence of the 1). Ward King road meeting March .'11 at F.rle, Kan., has already extended to every town ship In Neosho county, says the Thames City Times. Taxes for road purposes In all the townships were made payable in cash this year, and the township boards are appropriating the funds for tlie building nml opemtkm of split log drags. Fifteen drags are now at work In Erie township tinder the direction of the trustee, nnd. In addition to this number, many farmers have built drugs for private use. The rlreet com missioner of the city hns been using several spilt log dr:';i..; on tho unpnved streets of the town, and these streets are now quite ns smooth and hard us those that were paved. Farmers are enthusiastic over tho results obtained Jjson the country roads, and plans are being made for drugging every mile ot dirt road In the county this spring. Philippine Itomln. Iteports from the Philippines Inform us that the conversion of Impassable trails Into good highways Is proceed ing rapidly, and the work Is being done by native convicts In charge of white officers, says Motor News. The lack of ordinarily decent roads has been one of the most serious drawbacks to devel opment of our Island possessions in that It was impossible to transport products from the interior at anywhere near a figure which left a fair profit to those who handled the stuff at the coast. Present Information leads us to believe that the farsighted policy now being followed la to be continued, with the result perhaps, that the Philippines will possess a network of splendid highways long before such results are reached In the United States. The Knormona Mod Tax. In the course of a speech Congress man John H. Bankhead of Alabama declared that "the amount of money it takes to haul a ton five miles on our dirt roads will pay the freight for 250 miles on a railroad or 500 miles on a river tind 1,000 miles on the lakes. These figures prove conclusively tlie enormous tax levied by the bad roads on the farmers nnd how much of their legitimate profit is consumed In haul ing from the farms to the railroad sta tions, river landing nnd to the towns nnd cities. Not only have the fanners suffered great loss on account of poor roads, but the people iu the towns and cities who depend upon them for their supplies Ijflve suffered also." 5 When your Walch Slops You cannot make It go by M'.Mi'u it.
