Still another woman speaks : "I wish you would publish my name with your testimonials. I want every one to know that your Vegetable Com­ pound has made me well and strong. I sing its praises all the time. When I was first married I was very weak and had female troubles badly; Oh, I was BO weary, sick and melancholy, but the Vegetable Compound built me up. and now I have a dear baby girl, and I am so happy.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys­ ical ills which vanish before proper ef­ forts--gentle efforts--pleasant efforts-- rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis­ ease, but simply to a constipated condi­ tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt­ ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene­ ficial effects, to note when you pur­ chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig S3TUP Co. only, and sold by all rep­ utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa­ tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

Fremont, to be erect­ ed in Rockland Cemetery, in San Fran­ cisco. ' The monument illustrates th,e following story: 1 In Fremont's first expedition across the continent in 1842'he had made the ascent of what i^now called Fremont's Peak, in Wyoming. There, upon a great rock, to which the name of Rock Independence has since been given, the soldier made a mark, of which he has. written: "Here, not unmindful of the custom of early travelers and explorers in our country, I engraved on this rock THE St HIKING MONUMENT TO TIlE PATH­ FINDER. ' of the far West a symbol of the Chris­ tian faith. 1 made on the hard granite the impression of a la rg(p .cross, which I covered with a black preparation of In­ dia rubbe'r. well calculated to resist the influence of wind ami rain," The cost of the monument is being,defrayed by the associated pioneers of the Terri­ torial days of California. A rock will be placed on the grave in Rockland Cemetery, the elevation „of which will be fourteen feet. The statue, which will be of heroic size, is to be of bronze and will stand upon the rock. Current Condensations. Selfishness is self-destruction. A word spoken in due season, how good it is. Caution is often wasted, but it is a very good risk to take. Better be ill-spoken of by one before all than by all before one. Occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is. The man who would reform the world needs to begin with himself. Beware of the man who claims that any kind of a wrong is right. It is not the clock that strikes the loudest which keeps the best time. It is because so many people see wrong that so many things go wrong. 11 has been discovered that there is something worse than a grocery store cigar: a joint cigar. There is a good deal of the loafer and dead beat about every one who "visits" a great deal. When women tind they are alone in a room, without any men around, they pull up their garters. It is no kindness to a man to exag­ gerate the salary that he gets; his creditors may hear of it. •Tell your troubles to your pillow at night, and get the reputation of being a cheerful fool in the day time. Marriage seems to give a woman a license and freedom to indulge in many things she could not afford as a girl.

The Different Methods of Growing Corn and. the Comparative Cost in Each--The Value of l.and and the' Figures on All Detai ls . Kansas is one of the great corn States. Statistics show that the average an- uual yield for all the thirty-four years, bad seasons and good, since 1SG1. lias beeu 27 bushels per acre for the entire State, ranging in different years from 9 to 48 4-5 bushels. The product for twenty-five years ending with 1895 has had an annual home value averaging more than 931,000,000, and a total value in that time exceeding $776,000,- 000. Secretary Goburn, in a report of the State Board of Agriculture, pre­ sents adeta lied statement showing from sixty-eight long-time extensive growers- in forty-five counties Which last year produced 140,000,000 bushels, giving from their experience "oh such a basis as others can safely accept" each prin­ cipal item of cost in growing and crib­ bing an acre of corn, estimating the yield at 40 bushels. About two-thirds of those reporting prefer planting with listers and others use the better known check-row method; after the land has been plowed and harrowed^ '* The Statements of all the growers summed up. averaged and itemized show as follows for each acre of corn: - Seed 7 Planting (with Tiater.^br-check-" row planter, including cost qt previous plowing a^nd fcuurow-iv ing) 'i'i • , * • • .

Secre­ tary Coburn says: "In none of those calculations lias there been any allow­ ance for the value of the cornstalks, which, ordinarily, under the crudest management, should offset the cost of harvesting the graili. and under proper conditions should have a forage value much in CACOSS of such cost. Taking these-into every estimate, as should rightly "be done, the showing of cost per bushel would be very sensibly di­ minished. In the results of this inves­ tigation it will likewise be noted that the rental of these Kansas corn lauds, or the interest figured by their owners on the investment represented, aver­ ages more than 8'/, per cent., or a net rate higher than the capitalist, general banker or money lender dreams of real­ izing. Why Potatoes Stain. Those who cut potato*#* for seed know how very quickly the Juice of the potato will stain the hands and rust the knives employed in doing the work. The reason for this is that the potato contains a large proportion of potash in its juice. So soon as this is exposed to air it unites'-,with the oxygen and forms rust on metal and stains 011 the hands or other parts of the body ex­ posed to it. There is a still larger pro­ portion of potash in potato leaves and stems, which should be saved for man­ ure, but should not be used where po­ tatoes are to be grown within a year or two. as they may keep the germs of blight and rot in the soil. Uneven Distribution of Ferti l izers . There is a double and even triple loss from uneven distribution of mineral fertilizers, which is pretty sure to hap­ pen if they are in bod condition for drilling. The grain crop 011 the missed spaces will be poorer, and what grain it grows will be light and of inferior quality. Besides.this. the clover growth the following years will be less where the fertilizer did not reach. This shows the great importance of having a good drill and of keeping it in first-class con­ dition. This is difficult to do where fertilizers are used, as the corrosive acids used in dissolving the phosphate will very quickly corrode any metal with which they come in contact. All phosphate *1 rills should, therefore, be thoroughly cleaned every time after they have been used. Abovejall. they should be kept as dry as possible. A drill left out of doors through the rains soon becomes so rusty that the loss from its use is greater than is the cost of a new drill. Still we have known fertilizers and drills managed with care to do good service aft'*!^ teu to twelve years of use, and in that time had distributed hundreds of tons of fer­ tilizer, which was used both 011 spring grain and winter wheat. It is quite common in many neighborhoods to hire the use of fertilizer drills, but if extra care is not taken to prevent injury from rust the money the drill earns in this way will not repay the loss to the own­ er.--A m erica n C u 11 i va tor. Duck Culture for Profit. As a practical industry, duck-raising pays. James Rankin, the oldest "and one of the most extensive of duck rais­ ers, sajs: "A duck can be made to pay more than a cow." Ducks are easily, raised, are harder and mature rapidly. While they are naturally;aquatlc, wa- ter is, not necessary, except for drink­ ing. A sandy or gravelly* soil is best for them, and shelter-Is required in northern latitudes: These birds are heavy eaters, but they are ihstinctively foragers, and take on meat, in propor­ tion to their supply of food, more prof­ itably than land fowls. A low-roofed house, properly ventilated, with dry -floor, on-which the birds squat iucieau litter; and an inclosufe when freedom is not convenient, furnish the- shelter and yard. A few choice ducks may be kept in a confined space with profit; but the, business is now carried on in the East by men who rear thousands of ducklings for market. This phase can bq but suggested in the limits of this page. If the reader has already turned his attention to the Subject as a vocation, the correct way for him to ascertain the best methods of pro­ cedure is to visit the ranches in the East. He can there learn how the work is done by practical men. It is a very differept matter than raising a flock for pleasure.

' . 1 ; Kerosene Emulsion* Kerosene oil has a greater range of usefulness than any other one insecti­ cide. It is hot a poison, but kills by <-oiltact. It is a very penetrating fluid and causes almost instant death: But since it kills plants as well as insects it can not 'be used" a lone, but has to be used with some substance that dilutes It without impafriug its value as an in­ secticide. A number of methods are known in wli&'h tills may be done. One of the best is the "Hubbard formula," which is given ' Kerosene, two gallons. 07 per cent. Common soap, or whale-oil soap, one- half pound, 83 per cent. Water, one gallon." Heat the solution of soap and add '.t boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the mixture by means of a force pump and spray nozzle for five or ten miButes. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream which thickens on cooling, and should adhere without oiliuess to-the surface of glass. Dilute before using one part of the emulsion with nine parts of water. The above formula gives three gallons of emulsion and makes, when diluted, thirty gallons of wash. This emulsion Is an excellent one when the water used is soft. There are several formulas.

I ascended this fin*); hill, which prov­ ed to be an artificial mound not twenty I feet iurheight; but the natives are very Kroud of it. and speak,of if as if it were sonpi.huge mountain.

The majority does not appreciate what vegetable'matter in the soil does for us in the way of moisture in the time of drought. If one or two crops of vegetable matter are plowed under during the summer and fall, the suc­ ceeding crops are surer if the yeau is a dry one. We know that success in growing any plant depends much upon the amount of moisture in the ground.-- Ex. Horse Collars Should Fit . Upon the fitting of the collar depends much of the work done by a horse. While a collar may not cause sores, yet it may be very uncomfortable. The collar, and also the harness, should be made to lit the horse perfectly, and whenever the day's work is done the animal should be thoroughly examined in order to discover any ill effects from tlu' use of the collar. The Ben Davis Ajipte. The Ben Davis apple varies in ap­ pearance and in salability according to the locality in which it is grown. This fruit, when produced in Wisconsin and 1 Iowa, is not so desirable on the market I as when grown in Southern Missouri. I Illinois and Indiana. It seems to re- I quire a longer season and more heat i to grow it to perfection than some other varieties. Farm Notes . Fanners cannot afford to experiment except incidentally 011 a small scale. The experiment stations were insti­ tuted to make a business of experi­ menting. and they are doing a good work. A strict account kept by a dairyman who grew upon his farm all the food consumed by his cows shows that a pound of butter costs 1.1 cents. This is 'varied, however, according to the breed used. The Ohio station has made several attempts to get a settling of crimson clover, but all hate failed. It seems not able to germinate in the hot. dry August of Ohio nor to stand the severe winters there. Every grain of wheat should produce forty fold. A bushel of seed, conse­ quently. sown upon an acre of ground, should produce forty bushels, which shows that much of the seed used is either wasted or lost in the ground. This is an excellent time to make the hills for tomato plants. Dig a hole two feet square and a foot deep. Fill it full of manure and dirt intimately. The manure will have decomposed and will be in excellent condition for plants, and a space of four feet square should be spaded with which the manure should be mixed. Some dairymen" declare that "sun­ shine has a good deal to do with the fullest flow of milk; also, with its qual­ ity.' One man gives each cow of his herd an extra quart of meal night and morning in cloudy weather In order to satisfy his customers. This experi­ ence is a significant one and ought to be effective against dark stables. Movement in the Right Direction. The city of Montpelier, in France, is said to be the first to regulate the kind of wrapping paper that articles of food shall be delivered in. Colored paper is absolutely forbidden. Printed paper and old manuscripts may only be used for dried vegetables. For all other ar­ ticles of food new paper, either white or straw-colored, must be used. * Electric Surgery.

The circumstances leading to it dated from the last century, when War­ ren Hastings, then Governor Geueral of India, determined to find a market for the opium of the Ganges Valley. For many years it was .smuggled into China, but the Emperors, discovering the evil it was doing, took rigid meas­ ures to prevent this. From time'to time, however, cargoes of opium found their way inland, until in 1S:«» a special Commissioner was sent to Canton, where the British had a foothold, with orders to exterminate the business. He did so thoroughly, drove out the Brit­ ish merchants and destroyed $10,000,- 000 worth of opium then in stock. The British government took up tho cause of the merchants, sent a fleet aud mili­ tary force from India, and in the war that followed the Chinese were worst­ ed. were compelled to pay a large in­ demnity. to reimburse tho owners of the opium destroyed, and to open cer­ tain ports to all English products, opium among, t he rest.
