External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., may reduce the inflam­ mation and assist in keeping the place clean, but cannot cure the trouble because they do not reach its source. Old sores exist because the blood is infected with impurities and poisons which are constantly being discharged into the place. The nerves, tissues and fibres of the flesh are kept in a state of irritation and disease by being daily fed with the germ laden matter through the circulation, making it impossible for the sore to heal. S. S. S. cures chronic sores by its purifying action on the blood. It goes down into the circulation, and removes the poison-producing germs, impurities and morbid matters which are responsible for the failure of the place to heal. S. S. S. makes the blood pure, fresh and healthy; then as new, rich blood is carried to the spot the healing process begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation Jeaves, new tissue begins to form, the place fills in with firm, healthy flesh, and soon the sore is permanently cured. S. S. S. is pltrely vegetable, the safest and best blood purifier for young or old. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.

The cantaloupes were planted in the usual manner, so far as hilling and spacing were con­ cerned, but over each hill there was stretched a canopy of white muslin about the size of a man's pocket hand­ kerchief. Two arched wires were used, crossed over the melon hill somewhat like the center wicket in a croquet ground. The ends of these wires were sewed to the corners of the muslin squares and the wires then thrust firm­ ly into the ground so as to secure the canopies and prevent the wind blowing them away. These protectors cost complete about 8 cents each.

The last ten years has seen an enor­ mous increase in the demand for men trained in agricultural lines. The num­ ber of such men has enormously in­ creased, but the demand is not yet sup­ plied. Many of us can look back twenty years to the time when untrained men were at the head of agricultural ln- structlon in most of our agricultural colleges. These men bad to be employ­ ed because they were the best that could be found. One man who rose to be the chief dairy instructor in a State afterwards went to a dairy school and took a full course, showing that he felt that he had something to learn, even though he himself bad been an instructor. To-day we are getting the result of the past twenty years of training In the agricultural schools and their de­ pendencies, the dairy schools. The men at the head of the departments to-day are vastly superior in training to the men that occupied the same positions twenty years ago. They have not only learned all that their Instructors knew, but have dug up other facts and have assimilated the new facts dug out by other people In all parts of the wcrld. But where there were few positions to be filled twenty years ago, there are thousands of places to be tilled to-day. There are more schools and all of them are larger. Moreover, private enter­ prises are levying toll on the young \\ hen the trunks of cherry trees have started to decay probably the best way of checking it is to clean out tlie dead wood, paint the wound thoroughly with whitewash, or, better yet, with Bor­ deaux mixture, and then cover the whole wound with grafting wax or clay, so as to keep the water out. While this may not result in an entire healing over of the bad wounds, it will prob­ ably stop the decay, and make the trees last longer than they would If left with­ out treatment.
