RHEUMATISM

It la perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscleg,

Rheumatism the sufferer 13 apt to turu to the liniment bottle, or some other
externalappllcation, Jn an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
tounter-irritatioa on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain tempo-
rarily, but caa have no direct curative effect oa the real disease because it
does not reach the blood, where the cause Is located. Rheumatism is more
thaa skin deep it Is rooted and grounded in tht blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BU RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism Is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by
the accumulation la the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
' cf bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming ia contact with the different acids of the body, forma
uric acid which Is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all part3 of the
body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and paina
are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time
by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or
dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling oa the nerve3, causing
inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system
Is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanse3 the blood and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign
matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead

"Hurrah."
The history of many a race may be
read In Its battle cry. The "Banzai 1"
of the Japanese, the "Fagbaghballah!"
of the Irish, and our own "Hurrah!"
have found their origin far back in
history.
Although many authorities have de
clared that the word "hurrah" is a de
velopment of the Jewish "Hosannah,"
the consensus of opinion now Is that It
Is a corruption of the ancient battle
cry of the wild Norsemen, "Tut ale!"
meaning, "Thor aid us!" Formerly the
word was spelled "Huzza" and pro
nounced "Hurray." In one form or
another it is used by almost every
nation. ' ..

"Tapa, what makes your nose so
dreadful red?'
" 'Tho east wind of course,' the fath
er answered with gruff haste. 'Pass that

"Then, from the other end of the ta
blo, the boy's mother said sweetly:
" 'Yes, Tommy, pass your father the

Handy Barn Device,
The Illustration shows a device for
a hay box, which should be In t;vory
stable. This box muy be made of any
dimensions desired and reaches from
Hie loft to Just above the manger In
the stall below, placing it at a height
so that the horse can get at the hay
readily. As shown in the cut the box
should be wider at the bottom than
at the top to prevent the hay from
lodging. The open space below should
be fitted with two or more light iron
bars to prevent the animal from pulling
out' too much of the bay at a time
and wasting It.
In the lower part of the drawing is
shown the slatted bottom, which is
used In this box so that the chaff and
dust may sift through. The top of the
box, In the loft, should be covered
with a heavy slatted arrangement for
thd purpose of ventilation. It should
be made of slats sufficiently heavy to

Plan-He of Field Mice.
The apple belt of Maine Is suffering
from a visitation of field mice, which
have devastated the orchards, so that
It will require several years of careful
nursing before the apple crop will be
up to standard. These animals are so
tiny that It seems impossible that they
could cause so much damage, but the
seriousness of them Is due not to their
size but their numbers. They have
been allowed to multiply very rapidly
In the past few years by the destruc
tion of their natural enemies, the
crows, Jays, shrikes, owls and hawks.
These birds have been killed off In
great numbers by the farmers because
of the damage they are supposed to do
the crops and In thus disturbing na
ture's balance the farmers have
brought down upon themselves nn
equally If not more serious trouble.
The mice attack the fruit trees,
gnawing the bark from the base, so
that the tree is seriously Injured and
often killed. The State agricultural
experts are working on the problem,
but they are unable to offer any solu
tion, except that of protecting the nat
ural enemies of the mice. Poisoning is
not successful, for the reason that
other animals are destroyed at the
same time. .

Redtop and alsike clover are best
adapted to moist soils and will prove
profitable crops on the low places In
the farm where timothy or clover will
not do well. If the ground Is uneven
or boggy, run a spading harrow or disk
over It unbJH it Is brought down to fit
condition for seeding. Then sow eight
pounds of redtop and four pounds of
alsike clover per acre.
By cleaning up the farm you will in
crease its value and when it Is cleaned
and cleared It will cultivate more eas
ily and cheaply and give large returns.
Foil Tit duty Apple.
One naturally, expects a Kentucky
product to be handsmiie. So It Is no
surprise that the name Fall
has twHin selected
Beauty
as appropriate for
a new apple which
has originated In
the 151 ue Grass
country. The ap
ple, according to
the description by , j,i.,v awi.C
the Rtate experiment station, is not
only a beauty, but has other good quali
ties. The apples are sometimes deeper'
on one side than the other, but gen
erally quite symmetrical. The weight
seems to average a fraction above half
a pound. Other points are:
Color, deep purplish red, sometimes
completely so, again only or largely on
the exposed side; striped, with deeper
purple and pale waxen yellow; when
fully ripe, with ocher yellow, the stripes
contracting and extending into the cav
ity at the calyx end; marked with evi
dent ocher yellow dots, these becoming
especially conspicuous where the pur
plish red is deepest; region about the
calyx end sometimes "extensively waxen
yellow.
Flesh white at first, becoming creamy
when thoroughly ripe; flavor not strik
ing, but pleasant; subacid; skin rather
tough, thus calculated to protect It
from Insect and fungous Injury and to
render It a good shipper. Ripe Sept.
22. While It is adapted only for fall
use, It ripens at a time when few ap
ples as good are in a condition for
the table, the early ones being long
gone and the late ones not yet suffi
ciently ripe. It keeps very well, be
coming finally in October mellow and
agreeable as an eating apple. It cooks
well before this final change, making
good sauce, but proving especially ac
ceptable when baked. Unfortunately
the cut cannot show the richness of the
coloring of the Fall Beauty. In bear
ing It Is as regular as Rome Beauty
or Ben Davis.
Llme-Snlphnr-Salt Waah.
From experiments carried on with
chemically pure lime and sulphur, It
apiiears to the author of a government
bulletin that solid sulphur is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes, but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-five to sixty min
utes. A boiling period of one hour
is sufficient to dissolve nearly all of
the sulphur, but the thlosulphates are
somewhat Increased by a longer period.
Salt apparently has no Influence
upon the composition of the wash In
so far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences In
the composition of the wash, as used
by different Investigators, have little or
no Influence upon the time required
for boiling. When lime and sulphur
are used In equal quantities there'ls
more tuan enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur. These substances may be
used in the proportion of one pound of
lime to one and one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons Is a maximum
quantity.
It appears that the use of alr-slaked
lime has no Influence on the compo
sition of the wash, and that there Is
likewise practically no difference In
composition whether flowers of -sul
phur or flour of sulphur Is used. De
tailed notes are also given on the com
position of lime-sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kfnds of sulphur compounds. It Is
found that not .all of the sulphui Is
dissolved by the heat generated by
caustic soda, but the suggestion is
made that a wash containing ten
pounds of caustic soda and nineteen
pounds of sulphur per fifty gallons of
water without lime may give satisfac
tory results.
Selectinir Milch Covra.
That one cow can be made to do the
work of two has been found- to be
easily accomplished by the selection of
the best Individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
of butter each per year, has succeed
ed In getting 200 pounds per year from
each cow In the herd. Dairymen In
other sections have done fully as well.
It Is claimed that If one cow gives
as much as formerly did two, there
is a saving In stable room, labor and
care.. This cannot be accomplished,
however, unless the cows are reared
on the farm, or purchased from Im
proved breeds. Feed, of course, is
an Important matter, also, but a good
cow will give more product from the
food eaten than will an Inferior cow
that Is fed In the same manner.
Land owners Interested in establish
ing commercial forest plantations, shel
ter belts, windbreaks and snowbreaks
and In planting trees to reclaim shift
ing sands and other waste lands,, will
be given practical assistance by the
forestry service of the Department of
Agriculture on application to the offices
at Washington.
