A Principle of Life Illustrated.
Tliera are 'certain plants tho dod
der, for instance, which begin life with
the best lntontiong, strike true roots
Into the soil, and really appear as if
they meant to.bo Indopondont for life.
But after supporting themsolvos for a
brief period they fix curious- sucking
discs into the stem and branches of ad
jacent plants. And after a little ex
perimenting the epiphyte finally ooasos
to do anything for its own support,
thenceforth drawing all Its supplies
ready made from the sap of Its host.
In this parasitic stato it has no need
lor organs of nutrition of its own and
naturo takes thorn away. Thonce
forth the dodder is a plant without a
root, without a twig, without a leaf,
and having a atom so useless as to be
inadequate to bear its own woight.

The quickest and simplest method of
utilizing old bones Is to burn them In
the kllchen stove and carefully save
the ashes. In this war vou trot in tha
ash all tiie phosphoric acid and Umo
there Is in the bone, but you lose the
nitrogen, whlvh goes off as gas in the
smoke. Where tbe qimrwlty of bones Is
small, however, and especially If the
facilities required for other methods of
rising them aro uoit at hand, and If the
bones cannot be sold at a fair price.
this burning of them Is far batter than
to permit them to go to waste. Bono
makes an Intense heat, and as far as It
goes Is a valuable fuel. Every thrifty
farmer saves nil tho wood ash from
tho house, for It Is so rich In phosphoric
acid and potash that not a pound of it
should bo wasted, but every bit of wood
nsh (whether containing bone ash or
not) should be religiously preserved.
Every intelligent and thrifty farmer
knows the value of a dressing of rich
wood ash and fine bone meal. Except
for the loss of nitrogen by burnlna. this
home-made crtmbfnatlon of wood ash
and bone ash wfil accomplish nearly as
gooa resrults as the famous unleached
wood ash and bone meal mixture.

Very many people nro fond of a rood
garden, but think they can pot keep
chickens and have a garden, too, The
Maine fanner tells of a poultrymon who
Is noted for success in producing vege
tables. He grows twice as mnch on an
acre as formerly, ne keeps 100 fowls,
and has two lots of ground, ono belnrr
given up to fowls, while tho other is
used for garden, the lots being about
One and A quarter acres each. The next
year he turns the fowls on the ffnrdon
plat and uses for a garden tho pint then
vacated by tho fowls. By thus giving
np tho garden plat to poultry every
alternate year ho keeps the soil very
rertno.

Other forms of bacteria are alwavs

effect In the ripening process, while
others, If allowed to develop, produce
undesirable and often obnoxious fla

"wild" germs Is called "spontaneous"
ripening, and Is often attended with un

some vaseline or even lard and adding
fo it ft very small quantity of the acid.

lowest subsoil, often solid, hard and
without vegetable mold, Is more or less
mixed with that dug near the surface,
and which Is usually richer. In filling
the ditch this mixture continues, so
that the soil that was dug from the bot
tom of the ditch may often be in the
last spadeful thrown in. Yet it never
ha9 been known to make any differ
ence. Always crops of any kind show
a better growth directly over the drain
than they do on either side, even dur
ing the first Season's growth. After a
year or two the good effect of the drain
extends to and on either side, as the
soil freezes deeper when surplus water
Is romoved from It, and the roots of
plants can go deeper for moisture Or

that few are entirely free from disorders

The treatment of these diseases,

In Detroit there are few soldiers more popular and efficient than Max
R. Da vies, 6rat Krgeant of Co. B. His home is at 4r6 Third Avenue. For
four yenra he woe a bookkeeper with the wholesale droit honse of Farrsnd,
Wlllinmf & Clufk, and he eay : "I have charged np many thousand
orders for Dr, Williams' Muk Pills for Pale People, but never knew their
worth until I used them for the cure of chrtonic dyspepsio. For two years
I suffered and doctored for that aggravating; trouble but could onlv be
helped temporarily.
"I think dyspepsia Is one of the most stubborn of ailments, and there
is scarcely t clerk or office man bnt what Is more or less a victim. Some
days I rtnid eat anything, whne at other times I would be starving.
Those distressed pains would force me to qnit work. 1 have tried many
treatments and remedies but they would help only for a time. A friend
Induced me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and after tak
ing a few doses I found much relief and after using several boxes I was
cured. I know these pills will cure dyspepsia of its worst form and I am
pleased to recommend them." Dttrcil Mick.) Jnnutl.
