A City Without a Railroad. We are apt to think that a great city, containing the comforts and elegancies of modern life, cannot exist without railroads at Its gates. Bogota, the capital of the republic of Colombia, is an exception. Having a population of 125,000, fine residences, excellent schools and colleges, titer ary, artistic and musical societies, clubs, polo, tennis, balls, dinners, elegant society that knows the Paris ian fashions, Bogota lies on a platean which no railroad has yet reached. There Is, however, a short railroad on the plateau Itself. But to get to it by the most used route, one must Journey two and a half days on mule back. Another way to approach, re ducing the mule rldo to seven or eight hours, requires several days of river navigation. But the railroad is coming, although late.

C, Frank Dorenms, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mus tered out of the ar my, but in all ray life I never, suffered as in 1S97. Headaches, dizziness and sleep lessness, first, and then dropsy. I was Weak and helpless, having run down from ISO to 123 pounds. I was having terrible pain In the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34' inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and. began using Doan's Kidney Pills. .The welling', subsided gradually, the urine became natural and all my pains and ache disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills." Sold by all dealers. 60 cents a box, jrMUr-lUUra Ca., BKaJo. N. T. . 9 Forage For Hogs.

Relative to his expnlence In fight ing mildew In growing gooseberries, J. I j. Kirk, of Adrian, Mich. ,ls quoted as follows: "I tried everything any one told me, but I found 1 bad to try some way myself. I raised them upon a single stick (or stem), like you would an apple tree, kept them well thinned, cut off the lower blanches so that they are clear of the ground, then About the later part of May or June, there appears a number of suck ers or sprouts. 1 cut them all out, so that they are not choked up. Since 1 have done that, I have not had any mildew, either on the American va rieties or tho English. After I hart got rid of tho mildew, I thought I would try on experiment and produce mildew, so I left two bushes apart from the others, and let them grow without any care, like most people do gooseberries are the boBt neglected fruit that grows. Then I had the most perfect mildew, and It would peal off like a boiled potato. I thinned tho same bushes, and I had no mildew on them, so that was proof to me that I was right in the trimming." Wasteful Farm Practices. Tho neat booklet entitled "Waste ful Farm Practices." It contains many valuable suggestions says tho Far mers' Home Journal. For Instance, It calls attention to the fact that a Government bulletin estimates that the fertilizing value of the manure produced by all the farm animals of the United States amount to ,352, 700,000 annually. In commenting up on how large proportion of this vast sum is lost every year by wrongful method of caring for It and applying the manure to the soil the booklet says: "Improperly caring for the manure before application to the soli Is the moBt wasteful practice. Many far mers make no effort to save all tho manure, Bolld and liquid, and If they do, they allow It to stand in plies ex posed to the weather so that from 40 to 50 percent of the fertilizing elements leach away. The unprotected barn yard manure pile Is a common sight It's an indication that money In the form of plant food Is being wasted, some going Into the air as gases and some running away In solution to be drained Into a creek or brook. Thus a large part of the $2,352,700,000 worth of fertilizing value Is lost. "Incorrectly applying manure to the soil is a common practice. Some farmers allow manure to stand In piles in the field all winter, and spread Just before plowing. Some spread, by forking directly from the wagon. Both these methods are waste ful, inasmuch as all the fertilizing Is not utilized." Antics of the Hog Market. ' In answer to a correspondent re garding the reason for the ups and downs of the hog market the past few weeks, the Breeders' Gazette gives tho following, which will bear care ful studying: "If It were possible to regulate the dally supply of hogs that packers could always purchase exactly what they needed and no more, prices would remain stationary or move within merely a narrow range all tho year around; but It so happens that the movement Is either a feast or famine affair, a condition for which country speculation is to a large ex tent responsible. Experience has demonstrated that whenever the country undertakes a bull campaign on a normal crop meagre runs appre ciate values rapidly, but a subsequent break and more or less panic Is in evitable. A permanent bull movement is pos3lble only on a famine crop. Prices were- marked up in January and February this year on what has since proved to be practically a normal crop. If when the decline began early in March, the country speculator had not been In possession of a lot of hogs, the slump of $1 per cwt would not have been possible. Had the de layed delegation been marketed at last year's weights, ai It doubtie would have been but for the bull campaign, hogs would not nave sold Garden at $7.157.26 In February or $0.15 6.25 in March. The market simply went from one extreme to the other. Every boomer In the country imagin ed that the other fellow had few or no hogs and, as developments show nearly everybody was holding them for thnt unrealized chimera a 7 1-2- cent March market. The result was that when the delayed contingent ar rived, 30 days behind its time, It averaged about 10 pounds heavier and aided packers In piling up product In their cellars." Notes of the Farm. A little (lower garden Is better than an apothecary shop for the girls of the farm. Cattle that were gently treated nil winter will be easy to handle in the pastures. Don't neglect the farm buildings, (let some cheap paint and apply It when needed. The horse that refuses to eat when feed is put before him Is ailing and should not be worked. Young growing pigs crave a variety of food and It can be given them In slops better than In nlmost any other way. It Is best not to. breed the young bow until she Is a year old, as she will be better developed and produce better results. Thin the fruit. Apples, rears. peaches and plums are all better for being thinned. When trees are over burdened commence enrly, and thin until you think that none are left. Dogs still continue to be the terror of sheep raisers, and It Is one reason why more farmers do not engage In the business. A shotgun loaded gen erously with No. 2 shot Is the only cure for sheep-kllllng dogs. A good grape trellis can be made by fastening strips of the ordinary woven wire farm fencing to support ing posts. The fence should not con tain more than 8 or 9 strands for best results. We recently made one of this kind and find It satisfactory. FARMER BOY ASTRONOMER. With Home-Made Telescope Costing . $15, Discovers Comet. The scientific sensation ot the year Is the discovery of a new comet by J. E. Mellish, a 20-year-old farmer boy of Dane county, with a telescope he made himself. Meltlsh for years has been a student of astronomy, though the only instruction he has ever re ceived Is that which he has absorbed from textbooks purchased with his scanty savings. After he made his dis covery, a few days ago, Mellish told the authorities at the Wisconsin Uni versity of Wisconsin of It, and the scientists there, with their mofe pow erful instruments, found that the com et was only GO.OOO.OOO miles away. "I got Interested In astronomy In 1902," Bays Mellish, In talking of his discovery, "and I had a little spy glass at first. Then I got a small telescope for $4. I was surprised at what I saw and when I could see streaks across the face of the moon I wanted to know more about the universe. During the year 1.904 I worked for my uncle as a carpenter. I was only a helper, and did not get much money. I wns able, however, to buy a few books and a new tele scope. The new Instrument cost me $1G, and was only a couple of Inches In diameter. I could see new stars with It, though, and I tell you, I was happy. "It was only a few more months be fore I wanted to know Btlll more about the wonders of the sky, and wrote to a manufacturer about a new telescope. I found what I wanted would cost $200, and I could not af ford so much, so I started out to make my own. I had found a book that told how to make a reflecting tel escope and I got a couple of pieces of glass six Inches thick. Out of these I made ft by grinding one piece of glass against the other, with emery between. The construction of this Instrument took me all winter, but last spring I finished my present tel escope, which, sixty-four inches long, cost me about $13." The comet that Mellish discovered is peculiar in that it does not have a bright head like most comets, but appears like a trail of smoke, and stars more distant can be seen through It. Madison (Wis.)

Choir Boys' Pet Snakes. Garter snakes, grass snakes and wa ter snukes nearly stampeded the con gregation of a northweRt district church, all owing to one of the vested choir boys taking a pet garter snake to the choir loft on tho previous Sun day, on which day, white the sermon was In progress, the owner of the pet allowed the reptile to crawl over tho choir railing to the amusement of the other choir boys. During the week following, every boy In the choir went hunting for snakes. As a result nearly a dozen snakes of the harmless vari eties were taken to service on Sunday. Several of tho boys became fright ened at the hissing and darting tongues of their new found pets, and the reptiles escaped and were soon wriggling under tho feet of members of the congregation. Screams of wo men who saw the snakes nearly broke up the meeting. Quiet was restored after the sexton had captured the ser pents. Philadelphia Record. A Few More Left.
