A sacred bell In a town In North C9tina has been kept ringing for a century. A tax for paying relays of rlngera to pull its rope incessantly day and night is willingly paid by the in­ habitants. For it is implicitly believed by the benighted people that when­ ever the tongue touches the metal a devil is squelched' forever. Thus it is to the public interest, according to this superstition, to have as many of t£ese objectionable spirits done away with as Is possible. K. C. S. Almanac for 1904.

Tomato growing is popular with gardeners, but to grow this kind of fruit to perfection requires more skill than we generally suppose. Soils for tomatoes should be light and rich and should have good drainage. The tomato, especially in the more north­ ern part of the United States, needs to be pushed forward as rapidly as pos­ sible, so that the growers may get the.fi benefit of the crop before frost comes. On most of our northern farms during the past two years there has been much complaint of tomatoes not rip­ ening. It is evident that if the plants are grown on land that is cold, on ac- kcount of texture or lack of drainage, there-will be trouble of this nature. The best time to transplant toma­ toes is when they are six inches high. If they are left In the hot beds till they have attained a height of two feet or more they do not bear ^trans- planting well, and growth is checked to an extent that seems . to render void the start that had been made by growing them in a hot bed. In fact, when such plants are set out it is not unusual to see volunteer plants that grew in the open soil bear fruit as soon as they, though the hot bed plants had blossoms on them at time of setting out. Generally tomato plants are set about four feet apart each way and permitted to lie on the ground. When the plantation is small and consider­ able attention can .4 given to eacb plant, a good way to do is to plant them about three feet apart each way and train the plants to single stems, tying these stems to stakes. This lets in the sun, and the tomatoes should ripen more fully and be of better flav­ or than when allowed to ripen on the ground under the shade of the thick leaves. If it is desired to avoid the trouble of hoeing out the weeds every few days, old straw or other like material, even grass from the lawn, may be placed around the vines. This also acts as a mulch and keeps the moist­ ure in the ground for the use of the plants. This mulch will have to be added to from time to time, as the weeds will make a desperate effort to push up through it In the care of green grass being used for a mulch fhis will be particularly so, as the grass decays very quickly. On the whole, however, the uso of the mulch saves a great deal of labor and is therefore very satisfactory, besides, it allows the gardener to walk among the vines even after a heavy rain. AMERICAN GIANT DEAD ABROAD. Jesse Baker, Buried in England, 8ald To Be Biggest Man In World. It took fourteen men, with special tackle, to lower into the grave at Preston the body of Jesse Amos Bak­ er, who In his time claimed to be the heaviest man in the world. Baker, who was professionally known as "Big Billy Bonno," was a native of the United States, and had been exhibited all over Europe and America. He died in the infirmary at Blackburn from erysipelas and fat­ ty degeneration of the heart. The following are Bome of his pro­ portions : Weight,^ 42 stone; height, 6 feet; waist, 73 inches; neck, 27 inches; ,£hest, 69 inches. The grave was the largest ever made at Preston. It measured over seven feet In length, four feet five inches in width and twelve feet in depth. The pitch pine coffin was sev­ en feet long and three feet two inches in width. Baker, who was 38 yg»rs of age,* was a man of pieasing manners. He had Intended shortly to return to America, where he had property.-- London Daily Telegraph. POULTRY Cross Breeding of Poultry. By cross breeding we mean the mat­ ing of two distinct breeds with the ob­ ject of producing something better than the breeder can find in the es­ tablished breeds. We will at the out­ set say that we do not advise any farmer to do this if he is looking for profit from the results. If a man wishes to play with nature to see what the result will be, there can be no objection to his cross breeding. The man that cross breeds with the idea of establishing a new and popu­ lar breed is almost certain to be dis­ appointed. It is altogether unlikely that he will be able to produce any­ thing superior to the breeds now ex­ isting. If he did it would be about Impossible to make anyone else think so and it would cost a good deal of money to advertise the new breed. Then the sale of a few birds would virtually throw the breeding open to Gained Twehty Pounds. > | the world with little hope of financial Harford Mills, N.

We are frequently asked to name the best variety of strawberry, and have to reply that there is no best strawberry. What one will do the best on a certain piece of land de­ pends on several circumstances. The amateur should try several kinds and select finally the one that does the best with him. Sometimes he will need to select a number that he may get a succession of fruitings. As to productiveness, varieties differ on dif­ ferent soils and in different states. This difference is sometimes consider­ able eves in the same locality and on different! farms, due toVp difference of soil texture, composition or condition. The enAthat--yields Uie best on one piece of land may\^b(}/a small ylelder on the adjoining farm. We have fre­ quently noted this fact in listening to discussions of strawberries at the horticultural conventions. Some kinds do well only when given much care and would fall under the metn- ods that are in vogue on the farm of the lazy man, while others seem to stand a fair amount of neglect and do well. One variety needs to be heavily fertilized, while another will do well with only a limited amount of fertility available. The old Wilson for instance, was and is A berry that can be made to do well only under high fertilization.--Farmers' Review. neighborhood is aroused as never be­ fore by some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kidney Pills. These began with the case of Mrs. J. D. Wallace, who had been in very poor health for a long time and who had got so bad at last that she couldn't walk from her home to the village and back, a distance of about eighty rods, with­ out being tired out and in pain all over. She had only used a few of Dodd's Kidney Pills, when she noticed a change for the better and in a very short time she was able to walk any reasonable distance and do any kind of woman's work without feeling any bad effects. She has gained twenty pounds In weight In three months and is now as well a woman as could be found. She declares the Dodd's Kidney Pills de­ serve all the credit for her wonderful restoration. It takes at least ten years to produce a new breed by crossing. This was the case with the Orpingtons. Cross after cross had to be made to get shape and color, and then several more years had to be spent in fixing the qualities, so that the offspring would be fairly true to type. The man that tries to make a fortune out of the creation of a new breed is in the same category the farmer that tries to produce a race horse that will become worth a fortune. In either case the prizes are so few as to be not *"*orth considering. For practical pur­ poses it is far better to stick to the established breeds and improve them than to attempt to create new breeds by crossing. Luminous Tree. A remarkable tree grows in Nevada. It is called by the superstitious In­ dians the witch-tree. It grows to a height of six feet or seven feet, and its trunk at the base is about three times the size of an ordinary man's wrist. The wonderful characteristic of the tree is its luminosity, which is so great that on the darkest night it can be seen plainly at least a mile away. A person standing near could read the finest print by its light Music and the Hair. Some one has drawn attention to the fact that music exercises an in­ fluence on the growth of the hair in a most curious manner. Consistent playing for some years on metal in­ struments, the trombone in particular, will cause baldness; while the playing of the piano, violin, and violoncello rather increase than otherwise the growth of the hair. Flute and clarionet players are not supposed to be In­ fluenced either way. Red Siberian Crab. This old and well-known crab la of French origin; it is too well known to need description. Tree is hardy, though a very slow grower. Trunk and limbs quite slender, upright, form­ ing a vase shaped head. Trunk aver­ ages at base 14 inches. Generally free from disease. First bloom noted in 1892 and the tree bore a full crop the same season. Fruited again in 1895, 1897, 1899 and 1901, bearing full crops each of these years. Fruit small but of highest quality; especially desir able for sweet pickles. Should be grown in every fruit garden.--Virginia Station Bulletin.

A reader of the Farmers' Review asks if alfalfa makes good silage. In answer we can only say that there is no reason for making alfalfa into sil­ age hi seasons when it can be cured into hay, any more than there is a reason for making clover into silage. Usually alfalfa is grown in climates where the sunshine is so constant that there is almost no difficulty in curing it. At the present time alfalfa is being grown to a considerable ex­ tent in the humid states where curing is not always easy. In such cases it can be placed in the silo whenever weather conditions are so threatening that it does not seem possible to cure it. In placing either clover or alfalfa in the silo care must be taken to put in with it only the natural moisture contained in it, else it is likely to heat and spoil. This is the opposite of the case with com, which can be put into the silo even in a rainstorm without damage to its feeding qualtty. Doubt­ less many of our readers have had oc­ casional experiences in siloing alfalfa. We would be pleased to hear from such- In a general way, however, it may be said that alfalfa is not a crop well adapted to use in the silo, as it is very valuable as hay and its storing In the silo Is attended with sotie risk. --Farmers' Review.

Time has whitened Mr. Farnham's hair, but not dimmed his recollections of his boys. He said: "I suppose it is a tiresome thibg for the young to be told by their elders that the former generation knew more at the same age than the generation of today. I know of an instance in Newton where a boy was reproached by his teacher for his slowness. " 'When I was your age,' said his teacher, 'I was at least two years far­ ther advanced than you are. How do you account for it?' " 'I heard my father say,' answered the lad, 'that they used to have a great deal better teachers and sys- ]tems than they have nowadays." Boston Journal. Feeding Ducks. Ducks are not as good grazers as geese. We never saw a permanent pasture that ducks could get all their feed from. We make it a practice to sow rye very thick about Sept. 1st, for early fall feed. In the spring, early, they like It best until about 8 inches high. They eat it In large quantities. When it gets a little tough they take to white clover until rape comes. We think rape the best and cheapest green feed for ducks it should be sown thick and often, say one crop each month from April until August for a succession. One ur two crops of oats for a change early will do. Plant cheap kale seed about July 1st in rows two feet apart. This makes good feed after hed>vy freezing. Ducks will eat it well. This is about the last outdoor crop the season. When any of the above crops become tough we disk It down and sow a new one. The same piece of ground can be made to produce several profitable crops during the •season. We use the common two foot poultry netting, to confine stock on any special crop. When we can not get any of the above, alfalfa meal fills the bill, and solves the green food problem during the winter. As we breed for fancy breeders and ex libitlon stock, we never try to feed entirely on green crops, but they all Help to keep down feed bills and make setter breeders. For market birds this would not do at all. & E. Smith. Lancaster County, Nebraska. Free to Twenty-flve Ladles.

When a Hindoo gentleman falls des­ perately in love with an English girl and tries to give expression to his passion in a language unfamiliar to him the result is quite likely to be unique. "It is with faltering penman­ ship that I write to ha\^e communica­ tion with you about the prospective condition of your damsel offspring. For some remote time past a secret passion has firing In my bosom inter­ nally with loving for your--daughter." So begins the letter of a love stricken Babu, remarks the Penang Gazette. The writer continues: "My education­ al abilities have abandoned me, and here I now cling to those lovely long tresses of your much coveted daugh­ ter like a mariner shipwrecked on the rock of love. As to my scholastic cali­ ber, I was recently rejected from the Rangoon college, and I am now masti­ cating." BAD DREAMS. Bran as Poultry Feed. Bran enters largely into the feed inj of the flocks of some poultrymen Their method of using It Is to put It in a box or long trough where the birds, both old and young, can get at it and pick at will. Of course not much will be eaten at one time, and this Is what ia desired. We have found that chicks especially do not like to make bran their sole diet, and too much of it leads to digestion trou­ bles. Oue of the best ways to use bran is in conjunction with other ground feeds, making a mash of them for feeding either at morning or night. Both plans can be practiced at the same time, The effect of bran is just the opposite of that of whole corn. The corn when fed tor a long time alone produces indigestion, while the bran has a loosening effect. Those that are opposed to the use of bran have tried it in too large quantities and have made it too large a part of the whole feed. In some cases the poor results with bran have come from the fact that the bran contained a great deal of ground weed seeds, such as corn cockle. Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due to Coffee. One of the common symptoms of cofTee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says: "Formerly I was a slave to ooffee. I was like a morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss In my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob- blins, would wake up with headaches and fee] bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the 6tomach, in­ digestion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc. "Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had icsulted I could not bear the idea, it had sueh a hold on me and I refused to believe It the cause. ' But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more peeded time for I finally consented to try Postum. and with the going of coffee and the com­ ing of Postum all my troubles nave gone and health has returned. I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied dowiT and I write a fair hand (as you can see)\can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Ten days' trial of Ppstum in place of coffee? will bring sound, restful, re­ freshing sleep. There's a reason. Look in each pkg. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."' No man can tell what a laying fowl can do unless he keeps a strict ac­ count of the eggs she lays during the year and when she lays them. We have heard of poultry raisers who claimed that trap nests and records were unnecessary, as they can tell all about it without the help of rec­ ords. Such opinions may be satis­ factory to the men that hold them but will hardly satisfy the requirements of scientific poultry raising. Whitewash for Stables. Whitewash is a most important arti­ cle in the keeping clean of the stables. A coat costs so little that It may be given frequently. Probably the best kind to use is that employed by the United States government. That it will stick is obvious from the fact that it is used on ail the lighthouses, where it is constantly exposed to the rain and spray of the waves. The formula for making this is as follows: Slack about one-half bushel of unslacked lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain it and add one peck of salt dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin paste; one-half pound Spanish whiting, and one pound clear glue dis- rolved in warm water. Mix these well together and let the mixture utand for several days. Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle or portable .urnace, and when used put it on as hot as possible. This will answer for either wood, brick or stpne, and keeps its luster for a long time. Could You Use Any Kind of a Sewing ~ Machine at Any Price?

To protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible. Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from the fre­ quency and perhaps the severity of colds, but with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is a settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow. Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of a thousand other little mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold. There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family Peruna always stays. No home can The FREE Homestead LANDS OF | Mrs. A.
