Catarrh
.Whether it is of the noso, throat,
stomach, bowels, or more delicate or
gans, catarrh is always debilitating and
should have attention.
The discharge from the mucous
membrane is because this is kept in a

condition of the blood. Therefore, to

The Ilural Home.
So Important has ugriculture become
to the nation's prosperity that Presi
dent Itoosevelt recently 'appointed a
commission to suggest men us to make
the rural home more attractive and as
sist in keeping young men on the farm.
Many of the conveniences that add
comfort to a city home could he in
stalled In the country residence.
The farmer possesses an advantage
over the majority of residents In cities
In that he owns his own home and is
nominally the dictator of his surround
ings. In cities dwellers are crowded
Into apartment buildings for the want
of space for private .residences and to
secure economy In living expenses. The
owners of apartment houses have in
stalled steam heat, porcelain bath fix
tures, gas stoves, electric lights, and
maintain the apartments at great ex
pense on account of the costly fixtures
and the frequency of repairs. The ten
ant forms no attachment to h!s home
and is ready to change his resideuce
when other apartments are discovered
that more fully suit his fancy.
In the country the rural home Is
permanent and all Its Improvements
are consummated with a view to the
future as well as JIie present genera
tion. In no other profession does the
home dweller enjoy the work of his
hands as In agriculture. If man is
what he makes himself, so the rural
home reflects the owner's Idea of beau
ty and convenience. With the land pro
ducing increased crops and agricultur
al products selling at record prices the
farmer can afford to adorn his home
and Improve it with many modern and
sanitary appointments.
The water supply may come from a
shallow, inconveniently located well
and the supply may be contaminated
by surface seepage containing the id I -crobes
of typhoid fever and other dis
eases. The water supply Is the great
source of health, cleanliness and con
venience on the farm. Tubular wells
are permanent and of cheap construc
tion and their depth furnishes living
water free from germ diseases. With
a windmill and tank the water can be
piped Into the house at small expense
mid a supply furnished at all times by
turning the faucet. A hot-water heat
er can be attached to the stove and
hot water provided without additional
"xpense for fuel. ' A
With ample grounds a beautiful
,awn could easily be arranged with
ornamental trees, flowers and shrub
bery that would outrival the homes of
flty dwellers. With the installation of
modern conveniences at small expense
rural homes can be made ideal for
mm fort and thus stimulate content
ment among the younger generation to
follow the greatest of all professions.
Trod lire Price Going IIlRlier,
From the figures of a report by the
bureau of labor there lias been ex
traded the interesting fact that sale
prices of nearly everything reached n
higher level last year than at any time
during the last eighteen years, and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 258 commod
ities of the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
Increase In price attained by any of
the groups. And the encouraging feat
ure of the report Is that the panic of
last year did not affect prices of farm
stuff very much. In fact, taking every-
thing sold, the farmer got more money
In 07 than the average of ten vears
before.
Som farmers may not know' this, but
It Is true, because Mr. Powderly's bu
reau says so. Aside from the musty
figures of a departmental report, the
fact is evident that the fanners of this
country are more prosperous than they
have ever been. It Is shown In better
houses, bigger barns, fatter bank ac
counts, fewer mortgages, better ma
chinery, and, more important than any
tiling else, higher standard of living
for the family.
There Is one small fly in the oint
ment, however, and that Is the fact
that while farm produce has been rais
Ing In price, clothing, Implements, lum
ber and building materials, house fur
nishing goods .and some other things
farmers must buy have gone up, too.
Put as these commodities have not
kept pace with the advance In the
price of things the farmers have to sell
they may on the whole feel that they
are gaining ground and that agricul
ture is not to be despised.

Handling Alfalfa' Crop.
Methods of handling the alfalfa crop
from the time of seeding until it is in
the barn in the form of well-cured hay
are given by the Wisconsin Station bul
letin. In brief, it is as follows: The
best soil for alfalfa is a rich clay loam
over a gravelly subsoil. It Is best'on
well-cultivated soils. If the nitrogen
forming bacteria are not in the soil
the soil should be Inoculated. Spring
sowing is the best. Where ground Is
inclined to be weedy use a nurse crop,
barley sown at the rate of three packs
to the acre being the best. Thin seed
ing of the nurse crop is preferable.
Twenty pounds of alfalfa seed per acre
is recommended. The year following
the seeding three good crops of hay can
be expected. Cut when about one-tenth
of plants are in bloom and on a morn
ing after the dew has disappeared on
a day that promises fair weather. Cut
stubble at least an Inch high. In the
afternoon of the day cut, rake and put
into small cocks. These cocks can be
covered with light cotton duck caps
and left until the hay is thoroughly-cured.
FKEDIXO TRUCK FOK THE STAltl.E.
sented in the cut. Made of good lum
ber, the only Iron about It is the han
dle at each end, ly which to push or
pull it along the feeding alley in front
of the cows which are to be fed. and
the trucks on which it is mounted. The
wheels procured, any good blacksmith
can make this, so that the truck is by
no means dillieult to construct. It
should be about 2 feet wide, 10 Inches
deep nnd 4:2 feet long. Silage can be
conveyed in it from the silo to the
mangers very readily. If the silo is
some distance away it will save much
hard work, indeed. 1'red O. Sibley, in
Ha riu and Home.
To Kill Quack Gran.
Quack grass Is sometimes known as
Johnson grass, and also by other
names. It Is useless to attempt to get
rid of It after the land has been plant
ed to a crop. Now is a good time to
consider fighting it. Plow the land late
In the fall, just before winter begins.
Plow just deep enough to get under the
roots, leaving as much of them as pos
sible exposed to the frost of winter.
These exposed roots wlil be destroyed.
In the spring harrow or rake over the
roots repeatedly, doing the work over
and over again until almost every root
is removed, and then plant the soil to
potatoes or corn and give thorough cultivation.

There are about 7.loo,(i(!(i farms in

Don't Ho Afraid of Orlxlnnltty.
Ho not be afraid of being original,
even eccentric. Be an independent, self-
reliant, new man, not just one more In
dividual in the world. Do not be a
copy of your grandfather, of your fath
er, or of your neighbor. That is as
foolish as for a violet to try to be
like a rose, or for a daisy to ape a sun
flower. Nature has given each a pecu
liar equipment for its purpose. Every
man is born to do a certain work in
an original way. If he tries to copy
some other man, or to do some other
man's work, he will be an abortion, a
misfit, a failure.
Do not imitate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their reputations by imitating
Beecher. They copied his voice and
conversation, and imitated his gestures
and his habits, but they fell as far i
short of the great man's power as the
chromo falls short of the masterpiece.
Where are those hundreds of imitators
now? Not one of them has ever m.-olp
any stir in the world Orison Swett
Marden In Success Magazine.
A aian AMeep.
His mouth and vest were open, and
he breathed like a second-hand bicycle
pump, writes O. Henry iu his inimita
ble way iu Everybody's. I looked at
him and gave vent to just a few mus
ings. "Imperial Caesar," says I,
"asleep Iu such a way, might shut his
mouth and keep the wind away."
A niau asleep is certainly a sight to
make angels weep. What good is all
his brain, muscle, backing, nerve, in
fluence, and family connections? He's
at the mercy of his enemies, and more
so of his friends. And he's about as
beautiful as a cab-horse leaning against
the Metropolitan Opera House at 12:30
a. m. dreaming of the plains of Ara
bia. Now, a woman asleep you regajd
as different. No matter how she looks,
you know it's better for all bauds for
her to be that way.

Usually, he said, one statement is far

we can decide easily which to believe.
It is like the boy and the house-hunter.

"My lad. I am looking for Mr. Smith

"About twenty minutes' walk," the

"Well," said the boy, "you can believe
me or you can believe the advertise
ment, but I ain't tryiu' to make a sale."
