We Hear of More Cares J Of troubles originating In Impure blood, scrofula, loss of appetite, catarrh, rheuma tism, by Hood's Sarsaparilla than by all other so-called remedies combined. Somehow those cured by Hood's seem to stay cured, and they gladly tell the good news to others. Scrofula Sore "My wife had a scrofu lous sore on her leg for years. Many differ ent medicines gave but little benefit She turned to Hood's Sarsaparilla and the sore quickly healed. It Is a good blood medicine." J. N. Daft, Crosby,.Texas. Afflicted 16 Years-"Hood's Sarsapa rilla has cured me of scrofula, with which I have been troubled 16 years, and caused by vaccination. My little daughter had s scrofula swelling on her neck and Hood's Sarsaparilla also cured her." lias. Noba Huqhey. Hughey, Tennessee. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is sold everywhere.

Nature's Disinfectant, Cleanser and Purifier Evryo"e realizes the necessity of some method of purification of -inks, drains and utensils in which may lurk the germ ol dreaded disease. Health is a qui stii n of cleanliness and preven ion. Most people are fnmi'inr with the use ol disinfectants in t eir ordinary sense all of which are either unpl asantly associated with disagreeable odors n which are de pended o kill the germ of contacion (which disinfectants must of necessity be of a more or less dangerous Ch irac er), and must be used for this purpose and no other, nnd in convenience must be kept from children and ca elens nanal ng. T' ere is, however, within the reach of all of all our reader a simple, safe and econ omical article that wili not only answer for everv disinfectim; purpose but can also be used for a multitude of domes io clean sing and purifyi g purposes Borax Borax is a p re, wh te harmless powder coming direct from Nature's laboralo: y; in fact Borax has of en lecn raHed "Nature's Cleanser and Disinfectun'." Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in a pailful of hot water poured down the ereased-chok-ed pipes of a sink or flushed through a disease-! den drain, cleanses and purifies it, leaving it cli an and sweet. Bed clothing and clothes used in a sick loom ran lie made hygienically clean and snowy-white, if washed in a hot i-olution of Borax water. Kitchen and eating utensils used during illness will e kept from all possibility of contagion if Borax :s used when washing them. Pure as snow and harinle-s as .-alt, and bera se it enn be used for almost every domet c nnd medical purpose, Borax must be cou ntered the one greut household ne cessity. Regarding Jack.

The drawing shows a low down bur row la sufficient detail to enable any one to make a similar ona We think that next to the low down cart It Is the handiest thing around the buildings and garden that we have, says a writer In Farm and Fireside. Its capacity is more than double that of the ordinary k-ind, and the load Is much more easily put aboard. It has the advantage of getting into close quarters where the cart would not go, and for use about the feeding alleys, the stable, the lawn and the garden there Is hardly anything that will take its place. For the framework get two pieces of hardwood two by two Inches will project to form handles on one end and for the wheel frame on the other. At front end of box In rear of wheel a piece of the same dimensions Is mor tised into the frame to hold It rigidly and to make the front end of box frame. Pieces lV&xli Inches are also mortised Into the bottom of the legs, both front and back. These form the LOW DOWN BABBOW. foundation for the floor, which should be of three-quarter-inch boards. The legs are mortised Into the shaft or han dle pieces, the front ones resting about three Inches from the ground and the rear ones securely braced, as shown In the cut If desired the sides may be built from the floor solid and straight up, but we find it better to have a per manent bed from floor to top of han dles, with removable side boards to slip on for use in handling bulky stuff. Heavy material, such as bags of fer tilizer, large stones, etc., are easily han dled with this type of barrow, as they may be loaded between the handles di rectly from the ground. Frntt Tree and Grass. Extended experiments recently con ducted In England have shown clearly that fruit trees suffer very materially, and are often killed outright, when grass Is allowed to grow under the tree and close up to the trunk. Various probable reasons for this effect, such as the removal of plant food and of water by the grass, also the supposed liberation of carbonic acid, which might prove Injurious to the roots of the trees, were respectively demonstrated to be outside the primary cause of In Jury, and, finally, nfter seven years' work. It was concluded that the Injuri ous effect could only be due to some poisonous substance formed In the soil by the roots of the grass. On the other band, It Is a well-known fact that In many Instances consider able difficulty Is expressed In obtaining a growth of grass tinder trees. There Is distinct evidence that plants produce toxic conditions In the substance In which they grow; ns a rule the ex cretions given off by the roots of a cer tain plant are more toxic to the same or a nearly related plnnt than to plants not so closely related. The effect of tree-seedlings on the growth of wheat was tested, nnd after eliminating, as a cause of Injury, such factors ns re moval of plnnt of food or water by the tree roots, It seemed that the roots of the latter had some direct effect on the growth of the wheat, which suffered In all the experiments. The seedlings were placed In plant pots, hence the roots of the tree and those of the wheat plants were In close contact. Trees of various kinds were used In the experiments, and the retarding In fluence, although noted In every In stance, differed In degree; cherry was least active In checking growth, pine most so. The conclusion arrived at was that the effect of trees on wheat appears to be due to the excrotlon of tubstanee by the trees toxic to wheat. The Peach Crop of 1008. ' The fruit crop the past year was Ight, but It brought a very good price, and the prosiects now are that Okla homa may have an excellent crop In 1908, says a bulletin Issued by the State. The drought during the summer prevented excessive growth, and the early fall rains caused the trees to set a good crop of fruit buds. The orchards that were well cultivated have now passed into winter quarters In good condition. There Is a great variation 'n the number of fruit buds set on the different varieties of peaches, and In different orchards, but the plums seem to be uniformly full of fruit buds. Trees that have not been pruned well each season have relatively poor set ting of fruit buds, rium and cherry trees do not require as much pruning as do the peach trees. Peach trees may be pruned any time from the first of December to the middle of March. The branches should be cut back to about one-half of the length of last season's growth. This form of trimming will thin the fruit and keep the tree from growing tall. This Is a distinct advan tage In gathering the fruit and la spraying the trees. Carina; Ham and Shoulders. As soon as possible after the meat Is cold all through, the 'hams and shoul ders should be cured. They should be placed on a table In the cellar, skin side down. Then for every 100 pounds of meat make a mixture of four pounds of the best fine salt, two ounces of pow dered saltpeter, and four ounces of brown sugar. This mixture should be well rubbed Into the hams all over, and some pushed Into hock end around the bone. Keep on rubbing until the meat will take no more; then let them re main on the table for a week, when the remainder of the mixture can be rubbed In. Allow them to lie for about two weeks altogether, and then hang up by a string placed through the hock, In a cool, dark emnkehviv For two or three days keep up a good smoke from hickory chips, smothered with sawdust, during the day. Keep In a cool place, and before spring exam ine to see that no Insects have deposited eggs. Dust a little cayenne pepper, then cover with coarse muslin to fit the ham exactly and stitch tightly. Give a coat of whitewash or chrome yellow, and hang In a cool, dark, dry place. For curing in pickle, to one gallon of water take one and a half pounds of salt half a pound of sugar, hnlf an( ounce each of saltpeter and potash. In this ratio the pickle can be Increased to enough to cover any amount of pork. Boll together until all dirt rises to the top and Is skimmed off. When cold pour It over the hams or pork, which may be pickled In this way. The meat must be well covered by It, and should not be put down for at least two days after killing, during which time It should be slightly sprinkled with salt peter, which removes all the surface blood, leaving the meat fresh and clean. A good way to keep hams Is to pack In dry salt In a dry place, not having any part exposed or touching each other. Bar for Drying- Clothe. If your wife wants a clothes bar so she can dry ber clothes In the house, then borrow a -Inch auger, a plane and a saw if you have none. Get some light pine lumber 2 inches wide and 1 Inch thdck, cut 8 bars ; 4 bars 3 feet 11 Inches long, these are for the lower ones. The 4 bars for the top are 1 foot 11 Inches long. You can make It as wide as you wish and 8 rods are needed to go crosswise for holding the bars together and to hang the clothes on. Dress the rods to about 1 Inch square and make them smooth so as to not tear the clothes. For bars the size as given" above the rods need to be of the following lengths: Four rods 4 feet long; 2 rods 4 feet 2 Inches long; 2 reds 3 feet 10 inches long, 1 rod 4 feet 3 Inches long, this is the center rod nnd must project 3 Inches at one end ; cut another rod 4 feet 4 Inches long, use It for the top and have It to pro ject 2 Inches so ns to receive the plnce shown In the engraving to regulate the height. Yon can shut or open It to any width you wnnt It Exchange. Study of Muahrooma. A singular and very Interesting and useful Institution has been established in the little city of Tarnre, near Lyons, Frnnee. It Is n mycologlcul bureau where expert judgment Is furnished concerning mushrooms, many of which are poisonous. Since the establishment of the bureau nobody buys mushrooms which do not carry Its ticket of Identi fication ond guarantee, and all the country people from miles around bring their mushrooms for examination. One surprising result has been the discovery of scores jof edible mushrooms, which before nobody dared to touch. , Boot Shingles. Shingles are usuully 10 Inches lonB, and a bundle of them Is 20 Inches wide and contains 24 courses In the thick ness at each end. A bundle of shingle will lay one course 80 feet long.

Many so-called "specifics" and "cures" for rheumatism have already been brought before the public; but when rheumatism, neuralgia and kin dred diseases have become chronic and threaten serious results, you may rest assured that thuy will help but very little, if any. Although not recom mended as "infallible," the peculiar qualities of St. Jacobs Oil especially adapt it to those cases which may be termed "chronio," and which have previously withstood all known "spe cifics," as well as the prescriptions of the best physicians.

BAD THE SOURCE OF JUX DISEASE; Every part of the body la dependent on the blood for nourishment and 6trength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health lecause pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however the body is fed oa weak. Impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different ekiu affections ehow that the blood is ia a feverish and diseased'eonanion as a result of too much acid or the presence of eorne irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter ia the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Toison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poisoa remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood ia various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and ouua, vvuii.u me uti'ii up uy iae piooa ana distributed throughout the circulation. Coming ia contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood ia Bufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunate OS to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors 13 handed dowa to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood i3 the source of all dis ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to Buffer ia some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S.
