Collect unheated manure from the horse barns and mix with the pure man- ure an equal amount of straw that has been used for bedding. Fork this over well and pile in a heap and let stand for about two days. It it does not start to heat in this time moisten the entire pile with warm water. Prepare a pit for the manure bed. This should be located on the south side of the buildings with a good exposure to the sun, The pit should be about two feet deep, not over six feet wide and as long as desired. It is preferable to have the long measure east and west. As soon as the manure has started to heat well it it should be placed in the pit and carefully tramped. This is the best method of packing the manure evenly in all parts of the bed. If it seems dry add enough water to dampen, but do not apply enough to saturate the bed. Let the bed stand until it is heat- ing well throughout, then cover with five or six inches of good garden loam. Let this stand for three or four days and then work down the surface with a rake and the bed is ready for seeding. A broad frame. 10 or 12 inches high on the south and double that on the north, should be placed about the bed when the pit is prepared. The glass sash or cloth covering used should be placed on as soon as the manure is packed In. A bed prepared in this way will furn- ish heat about six weeks. The temp- erature will run high at "the start and gradually go down, At the end of six weeks the hot bed becomes a cold frame and will protect plants from frosts but not hard freezes. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be, used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly aerive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co , Toledo, 0., contains. no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfages of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is tak- en internally and made in Toledo. Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists. Price, 75c. per bottle.

Wilful waste and woeful wan', Even the Brewers Journal says that i s drink is a luxury and an extravagance it should be curtailed at the present time. That estimate of one hundred million does not take into account the watering of liquor or the liquor that is manu- factured out of chemicals. Just think, if that amount of money had been spent for food, clothing, better houses and better furniture what a boom it would have been to business. What a multi- tude of men would have found employ- ment making these articles. Thus it in- jures business, robs men of employ- ment and almost every one more or less is affected by it. It not only wastes money that would help all lines of business but it makes a large number so poor that they cannot pay their proper share of taxes and so the burden falls on a smaller number and the burden of taxation is increased every year. Again it causes crime and poverty and insanity and we now know that it is the very greatest cause of disease by dulling the defensive powers of the system. Think of the great number of people immured in jails, penitentiaries, asylums, poorhouses, etc., that have to be clothed and fed and cared for out of the taxes. No wonder Gladstone said give me a sober people and I will have no difficulty in raising the reven- ue. And Hon. Geo. E. Foster said that if the liquor traffic were stopped we soon would not know ourselves we would be so prosperous. If any one thinks that doing away with the liquor traffic would increase taxes or do harm in any way whatever let him ask himself why the people in dis- tricts where local option is enforced are so well pleased with it. Will some one tell us why the legis- lature busies itself with. minor things and does not try to shift this burden off the people. 13. Arnott, M. B., M.C.P.S. When Blood Is Poison.

Did you ever know a boy who didn't like to have a horse and buggy of his own? How did you like to ask dad for the horse and buggy every time you wanted to go somewhere? 4. Did you ever know a boy who didn't work better when he had a share in the crop, or when he had one field with which to do as he pleased? 5.

(Jane Burr in New York Times.) It really isn't hard to be a mother, There really isn't very much to do; The days are just exactly like• each other - You simply shut your eyes and wan- der through! For 6 o'clock'is time enough for rising, And getting all the children washed and dressed. And breakfast cooked -it really is sur- prising, But mothers seem to need a rest! The lunches must be packed and jack- ets rounded, And everybody soothed and sent to school. To , say that mother rushes is un- founded - She's nothing more to manage, as a rule. Unless it is to finish piles of sewing. And cook and wash and iron and scrub and sweep, To order food and keep the furnace going - And then, perhaps to hide herself and weep! • And when at last she's tucked them under covers, And seen to doors that Dad's forgot to lock, Triumphantly, at midnight, she dis- covers She's nothing more to do till 6 o'clock!

The Bankutus are great canal - bats as far as the male members of the tribe are concerned, and the via tims are always slaves. In fact, all slaves are ultimately eaten, since it is believed that if a slave were buried his ghost would kill his master. Their chief weapon is the bow, poison being used on the arrows. Shields are now obsolete. One of their most inter. esting points is their use of a conven- tional throwing knife us currency. The Bankutus are almost the only tribe of this region who have been successful in resisting the advance of the white man.

Many people regard the rise and fall of the ocean as a profound and baffling mystery. The mystery really is not very hard to understand. As we all know, the surface of the ocean rises and falls twice in every lunar day, this rise ap peering along at coast to be a horizon tal motion -always ebbing or flowing. Now, the lunar day consists of about twenty-five hours. Thus, of course, the "time" of the tides varies each day. The tides, moreover, do not always rise to the same height. Every fortnight. with the new and full moon, they rise very much higher than at other times. These high tides are called "spring" tides, the alternating low tides being termed "neap.": When the moon is nearest to the earth the rise and fall of the ocean are markedly increased. Thus the spring tides are greatest at the equinoxes -1. e., at the end of Ma rob and the end of September. Yes, you say, but what has the moon to do with it at all? Surely it is the sun which attracts the earth. That is so. But, although the sun's attraction on the earth is far greater than the moon's, the moon is so very much nearer to the earth that the dif- ference; between its attraction at the center and on the surface is three times as great as the sun's. And it is this difference which causes tides. - London Answers. A Trick of Oratory. Victor Murdock says' that the best advice he ever received in regard to public speaking was from a hack dri- ver. After making one of his maiden speeches in Kansas he was being driv- en to the railway station by the polite liveryman. "Like the speech?" asked Victor. "Yeh," answered the driver, "only you'd get more hand claps if you'd al- ways put the names at the last when you say anything." Victor didn't understand, so the dri- ver explained: "You spoke of Henry Clay and Grant and James G. Blaine end then went on to tell about what they did. You ought to go over the things they did and then say, 'That's what was done by Clay and Grant and .lames G.

The dairy- man recognizes the hindrance it is to the highest development of his dairy herd. Why should not more farmers keeping poultry recognize its limita- tions in the pcultry flock? It is not easy to tell a good layer. No scale of points has ever been devised that would answer the purpose. Many seem to think that a bird with a fairly bright eye, active habits, and nics upright carriage is pretty sure to be a good layer, but the results in laying compet- itions have proved that some of the ug-. Best birds, so far as appearance is con- cerned, have turned out a large nnmber of eggs. The man who thinks that a certain type or a certain breed, will out- do all others is very apt to find himself mistaken. Not all of the l.rge heavy breeds grow into large, lazy birds, fre- quentsetters during the summer months and only moderate layers at any time. On the other hand not all light, active birds are everything that could be de- sired from an egg laying standpoint Hence, only accuracy can determine which are the good layers in any breed Where accuracy and maximum results are desired, it is absolutely necessary that trap -nesting be resorted to. Only in this way can the best layers be de- tected. Where we desire to specialize in good layers it is necessary to the best success. We cannot select our birds from out- side appearances. We cannot combine exhibition and utility stock. ° All who commence with this idea in view will sooner or later have to give up in ais- gust, as it is impossible to get a large quantity of eggs and of present-day ex- hibition types of any breed. Stick to facts and figures by knowing exactly what a bird will produce. Only in that way can the best birds be selected. HAND ME THE ROSES WHILE I'M LIVING. I've noticed when a fellow dies, no mat- ter what he's been, A saintly chap or one whose life was darkly marked with sin; His friends forget the bitter words they spoke but yesterday, And now they find a multitude of pretty things to say. I fancy when I go to rest someone will bring to light Some kindly word or goodly act long buried out of sight; But if it's all the same to you, just give to me instead The bouquets while I'm living and the knocking when I'm dead. Don't save your kisses to imprint upon my noble brow, While countless knocks and bruises are hurled upon me now; Say the good things to me on earth while here I mourn alone, And don't save all the good things to carve upon my stone. What do I care if, when I'm dead, the the weekly Times Gives me a write up, with a cut in mourning border set? It will not flatter me a bit, no matter what is said; So kindly throw your flowers now and knock me when I'm dead. It may be fine when one is dead to have the folks talk so; To have the flowers come in loads from the girls and boys you know; It may be fine to have these things for those who leave behind. But, just as far as I'm concerned, I really do not mind. I'm quite alive and well today, and when I linger here, Send me a helping hand at times -give me a word of cheer; Just change the game a little bit -just kindly swap the decks; For I will be no judge of flowers when I cash in my checks.
