They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. They are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly the sort of a rem­ edy. It has saved many people from disas+er by rendering the kidneys ser­ vice at a tune when they were not able to bear their own burdens. Wear Pajamas on Car*. "I learned something from the por­ ter on our train this morning," said a hotel guest. 'T noticed him pick up the coat to a pair of pajamas while he was making up one of the berths. Whoever had occupied the berth had got off the train, evidently, and left the garment behind. 'Forgot part of his nightie, eh?' says I to the porter. The j:orter grinfted broacfly. "Wasn't -any his about it, boss,' he says. 'It war a lady that was in that berth las' night.. 'Yes, sah. Lots of "em seems to like thetia to weah on the cahs.

"You evidently have a very vivid Imagination, Mr. Borem," said the dear girl, as she made an unsuccessful attempt to strangle a yawn. "Why do you think so?" queried the unsuspecting Borem. "I thought perhaps you imagined yourself in the Arctic regions, where the nights are six months long," she explained. And 30 seconds later he had faded into the glumpsopie gloom. • Dugald's Explanation. Staying at an inn in Scotland' a shooting party found their sport much interfered with by rain. Still, wet or fine, the old-fashioned barometer that hung in the hall persistently pointed to "set fair." At length one of the party drew the landlord's attention to the glass, saying: "Don't you think now, Dugald, there's something the matter with your glass?" "No, sir," replied Dugald, with dignity; "she's a gude glass and a powerful glass, but she's no' moved wi' trifles." Not Exactly That Kind. "Did you get a complimentary ticket to the show?" inquired the pass flend. "Well," answered the man with in­ fluence, "it's a free ticket, but if you had heard the remarks of the manager ,'as he was filling it out you wouldn't call it very complimentary."

PUTS THE "GINGER" IN. The,Kind of Food Used by Athletes. A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His experi­ ence with a change in food is interest­ ing. "While I was Jn training on the track athletic team, my daily 'jogs' be­ came a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. "I trained for the mile and the half mile runs (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily 'jogs,' which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. , "The Grape-Nuts food put me in per­ fect condition and gave me my 'ginger.' Not only was my physical condition made ^ perfect, and my weight in­ creased, but my mind was made clear •nd vigorous so that I could get out lhy studies in about half the time for- tterly required. Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts tot they have learned its value, but I think my testimony will not be amiss •nd may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can be ob­ tained." There's .a reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on the human body ft&d brain. The certain elements in Wheat and barley are selected wifclj special reference to their power for re­ building the brain and nerve centres, ••ifihe product is then carefully and wclentlftcally prepared' so as to make H easy of digestion.

The acidity or alkalinity of the soil may be tested by the use of blue lit­ mus paper, which can be secured of any druggist. The litmus test may be made by moistening a portion of the soil so that it will stick together, and inserting the litmus paper in a cut made with m knife, and closing the soil together compactly around the paper. If within a half hour or less the litmus paper turns pink the need of lime is indicated. Where tests are not made, and the soil has not been limed for years, it is much safer to lime than to run the risk of the alfalfa or other crops being killed out by the acidity of the soils. The amount that should be applied varies with different soils, clay soils requiring a heavier application than sandy soils. On clay soils which have not been limed in many years about one ton per acre should be applied, while soils in which the acidity has been partially corrected should receive a proportionate amount. On sandy or humus exhausted soils it is not ad­ visable to put on more than one thous­ and pounds at one time, for lime is an Indirect fertilizer, and liberates plant food by hastening decomposi­ tion of the organic matter in the soil, and thus reduce^its fertility. Clay soils are more retentive of plant food, so that less is lost by this decompose tion, and, furthermore, the clay soils are improved greatly in texture by the collection of the smaller particles of the soil into larger ones. Oyster Ehell lime or stone lime is generally used, though other sub­ stances, such as marl, "may be used more economically, where they can be obtained on the j.arm for the ex pense of digging. The lime should be applied on th? surface, and worked in with the surface soil, and It should be put or. in as active a condition as possible. To do this the lime should be slaked with water, and as soon as slaked should be spread as evenly" as possible. It may be applied with a shovel, or with the lime attachment which comes with fost manure spread­ ers. Ground stone lime, which has re­ cently been put on the market, says the Journal of Agriculture, is a finely ground lime, which is easily distritoat- ed. and is t&pught to be better than the burnt lime, as ft can be applied in the active state. It can be applied through the fertilizer attachment of the ordinary grain drill. FERTILIZING THE SOIL. Be Sure You Put in Whut the Plant* Will Use. The man that puts Into the soil fer­ tiliser wnntfl tn make sure tk&t it ifi utilized by the plants for which it is placed in the ground. It is possible to apply barnyard manure and espe­ cially the chemical fertilizers under conditions where they will be ineffec­ tive in doing the work they are intend­ ed to do. It may be taken for granted that if the fertilizers are placed in dry soil and the soil remains dry it will do plants no good. More than that, in the dry soil the destructive chemi­ cal processes will be going on that will burn up the fertilizers of an or­ ganic nature. When men sow such chemical fer- tellzers on the surface of the ground and merely cultivate them in, when they are cultivating to make a dust mulch, they are but taking the surest way to destroy all the fertilizer of an organic nature as fast at least as it yields up available plant food. Mois­ ture is needed and a quite constant supply of it in the form, not of water such as exists below the water table, but such as exists in the soil as film water around the soil particles. Ms*. Thomas C., Wallace, who has spent his life studying fertilizers and soil questions, has now charge of a large fertilizer business in California. He tells the writer that In that state it is found exceedingly difficult, to fer­ tilize the grape vineyards. This is due to the fact that the vineyards are on light sandy soil, and the sand is perfectly dry down sometimes six, eight and ten inches from the surface. The "moisture and heavier soil is he- low that. Thousands of grape growers have pat expensive fertilizers into the surface soil of their vineyards to have it do apparently no good. The reason is that the moisture is not present that would set it free for the use of the plants. The rains that come oc­ casionally wash very little of this down to the soil below. It is evident that such fertilizing materials as ground bone will remain for a very long time in such soil without doing good. An occasional irrigation also has little effect in setting loose the plant food from the stored-up fertiliz­ er. If dried blood is put Into such soil it is evident that it will soon he burned up in the dry sand and will largely disappear in gas produced by its chemical changes. The vineyards are not cultivated on account of the practice of allowing the vines to die on the ground without supports. The same principle holds good any part of the country where dry soil Is the bed in which manure is placed, says the Farmers' Review. There are many people who have the Idea that manure once put on the soil will lie there till it is utilized if it takes years. That is a costly mis­ take. The air receives some of the most valuable portions of all fertiliz­ ers bo applied. Fertilizers must be gotten into the moist soil to become available. * A CORN HARVESTER. Serviceable Affair Make for Which You Yourself. Can Our illustration shows the details of a one row corn cutter, which will do good service. It is not difficult to make and will do an astonishing FALL PLOWING PAYS. for Put Ground in 3etter Shape Spring Seeding^ I plow my land very deeply in the fall and then leave it. It absorbs a good deal of rain during the winter and does not wash as badly as it would were it left packed down. Not only this, but I usually turn under some green growth that will decom­ pose during the winter, adding humus to the soil and improving the physical condition, writes a correspondent of Orange Judd Farmer. If this is left over till spring it will lose much of its falue as a green manure. The good start which an early seeded crop gets is a strong argument in favor of fall pi awing, for it enables me to get a gool, strong stand before the dry, hot months come, when the crop suffers much from drouth. % From years of experience, I believe that land plowed in the spring packs much worse than that plowed in the fall, and when plowed in the spring it is usually a litt!e wet and hard to handle. I have seen much land ruined by its owners being crowded in the spring and '.hus forced to plow when the land was far too wet for such an operation. Good One-Row Harvester.

ABOUT THE FARM. The cow should be turned dry a month or six weeks before the arrival of the calf is expected. Never milk a cow up to the time she is expected to be fresh. Under no circumstances should any­ thing be added to milk to prevent it from souring. Such doings violate both the law$ of God and man. Clean­ liness and eold are the only preserva­ tives needed. It is just as easy to raise the best of everything as it is to raise inferior products. „ Be satisfied with nothing short of the best that can be produc­ ed in your neighborhood. If you are, you wilt soon be clM*ed a second rate fanner. Eggs Absorb Odors. .. It is not generally known that the egg shell is enough porous so that bad smells where eggs are kept can get into the eggs. For this reason the advice is given not to use disin­ fectants where the strong odors will come into contact with the eggs. For­ tunately the time of the year when disinfectants are used in the poultry House need not coincide with the titae when eggB are being laid in large num­ bers. It is perfectly feasible to shut up the henhouse for some days while it is being disinfected, if this occurs in the summer time. The disinfecting is for the purpose of destroying in­ sects and the germs of disease, and this work is best done when the fowls are shut away from the house. The warm weather is naturally the time in which to use strong smelling dis­ infectants.

Darrow, the well known lawyer and essayist, discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent a part, said the other day: "Some of the evidence in that trial was so transparently false that it re­ minds me of a case that came off in Alabama a few years back. One of the witnesses in this case was an- ex­ tremely ignorant man. As his testi­ mony progressed, his ignorance be­ came so shockingly evident that the judge, looking sternly down at him said: " 'Look here, sir, are you acquaint­ ed with the value of an. oath?' "The witness answered anxiously: " 'Jedge, I hope I am. That thar lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dol­ lars to sw'ar agin the other side.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pink haul's Vegetable Com­ pound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor, The growth of a tumor is so in­ sidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia E.
