The system has been in opera tion in the capital of Hugary for sev eral years past and is owned an man aged by a private corporation, where as the regular telephone system is owned by the government and admin istered by the ministry of ports and telegraphs. The annual subscription is $7.50 and is paid quarterly in ad vance and entitles tbe subscriber to two receivers and the full service of nef s, music, etc. The service begins at 8:55 a. m., when a buzzing noise loud enough to be heard across a large room and lasting fifteen seconds an noune.es the correct time. At 9:30 the day's prog'mme of important events is announced that is to say, tbe ceremonies, lectures, plays, races, etc. At noon comes a second announce ment of the correct time, followed by parliamentary news and general items of news; at 12:15 stock quotations from the local Vienna and Berlin ex changes and general news; at 2 p. m. iiiuie pimiuuic'iuary uuu geuurai news and at 3 p. m. the closing prices "of stocks, weather forecast, local person als and small items and in winter, the condition of the various skating places; at 4 p. m., court and miscella neous news; from 4:30 to 6:30 mili tary music from one of the great cafes or gardens.

The practical advantages to be de rived by the oiling of roads has been very conclusively demonstrated this summer, when we have had so much dry weather. When the Rising Sun Farmington macadam road was top dressed some weeks ago oil was ap plied to a portion of it as an experi ment, and everyone who has had oc casion to use the road since has been convinced that the money expended for the 10 barrels applied has gone further and done more good than any like amount expended on the road since its construction. It has kept the dust down, and also prevented the topclressing from being blown off the road by the wind and scattered about by travel, permitting it to become a sort of binder and being a great ben- 1. Lilt LU LUG VCLKX. i Ul, H O L uu roads has passed the experimental stage, its beneficial results being so readily seen wherever it has been tried that it has become a big factor in road improvement. Kentucky's Biggest Cornfield. The biggest corn field in the State tic horseshoe sweep of the Ohio river from Henderson round past Evans ville to Green river. It is the biggest because it is corn continuously for 6, 000 or 7,000 acres, unbroken by fences unrelieved by any other crop no hay, tobacco, oats, or wheat just corn, corn, and then more corn. It is esti mated that over 300,000 bushels of corn will be raised in this monster tract this year, and this in spite of the fact that the farmers were scared out of a year's growth by the high water, and for a time were not quite sure whether the high water would let them raise any corn. From the Louis ville Courier-Journal. So. 41-'09. CHILDREN SHOWED IT Effect of Their Warm Drink, in the Morning. ' "A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can en joy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the chil dren and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes, and it tasted so fiat that I was in de spair, but determined to give It one more trial. This time we followed the directions . and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was com pletely won by its rich, delicious fla vor. In a short time I noticed a de cided improvement in my condition, and kept growing better and better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work in the school room with ease and pleas ure. I would not return to the nerve destroying regular coffee for any money." Read the famous little "Health Classic," "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They :n m,l f fi II nf tinman Roup. I have been a reader of the Farm er for a long while, and think very much of the paper. I have a lot of little chickens that have a kind of sore mouth. Their tongues come out and they die. Would like to know what it is and the remedy to use. J. H. L. It is a bad case of roup. The cold, damp . weather may be accountable for It. Keep the sick separate from the others, and keep all the chicks dry and .comfortable; give pepper in the food, and feed in a clean dry place. Sprinkle lime about the yard to kill the disease geims. See that the water they drink is pure; it should be changed often. Lamb deeding. Corn and the bearded or Scotch bar ley, when fed with alfalfa, were about equal in value for mutton production. Barley in this test rved to be a shade the better. TjVseven per cent less allalfa and twenty-eight per cent less grain was required where barley replaced emmer in a ratSon. Grade lambs with mutton sires made1 greater gains, conditions being similar, than did Dambouillet lambs, though a record of food consumption for each class was not kept. The Western stockman has a feed in barley that is of great value for meat production, and may be used to ad vantage as a corn substitute. Wyom ing Experiment Station. Corn Versus Oats as Horse Feed. The Ohio Experiment Station re cently conducted some experiments to test the widespread belief that oats are superior to other grain as a feed for horses. Six mature grade Percheron geldings were fed on a basal ration of clover and timothy hay, three receiv ing oats and three corn as a supple mentary ration. Estimating corn to be worth 40 cents per bushel, oats 30 cents per bushel, and hay $8 per ton, at the time the experiments were made, it was found that the average cost of food per hour of wonk was 3.3 cents for the corn-fed horses and 4.54 cents for those fed oats. The use of corn to the exclusion of other grain for a period of 48 weeks was not found detrimental to the health of work horses and they endured as well as those receiving oats. When mixed (clover and timothy) hay was fed to mature geldings at general fai m work, ear corn was practically as efficient, pound for pound, as oats. A drcp in weight of the corn-fed horses co-Incident with the beginning of the use of shelled corn indicates that ear corn is to be preferred above shelled corn for work horses. Silage for Sheep. Silage is looked upon with great favor among sheep men, says Prof., Wool in his book, on silage. Sheep do well on it, and silage-fed ewes drop their lambs in the spring without trouble, the lambs being strong and vigorous. Wage containing a good deal of corn is not well adapted for breeding stock, as it is too fattening; for fattening stock, on the other hand, much corn In the silage is an ad vantage. Sheep may be fed a couple of pounds of silage a day and not to exceed five or six pounds per head. Prof. Cook reports as follows in re gard to the value of silage for sheep: "I have fed silage liberally to sheep for three "winters and am remarka bly pleased with the results. I make ensilage half the daily ration, the oth er half being corn stalks or timothy hay, with bran or oats. The sheep do exceedingly well. Formerly I was troubled to raise lambs from gmde Merino ewes. Of late thi'3 trouble has almost ceased. Last spring I hardly lost a lamb. While ensilage may not betl'e entire cause of the change, I believe it is the main cause. It is positively proved that ensilage is a most valuable food material, when pro perly fed, for all our domestic ani mals." Good Egg Production. As requisites for the production of good eggs and marketing them in good condition the following may be men tioned: 1. Hens that produce not only a good number of eggs, but eggs of mod erately large size, weighing two ounc es each on an average. Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and Leghorns or Minorcaa that are used on egg farms are varieties that may be expected to to this. 2. Good housing, regular feeding and watering and, above all, clean, dry nests. 3. Daily gathering of eggs, and, when the temperature is above 80 de grees, gathering twice a day. 4. The confining of all broody hers as soon as discovered. 5. The rejection as doubtful of all eggs found in a nest that was not vis ited the previous day. Such eggs should be used at home, where each may be broken separately. 6. The placing of all summer egg?3, as soon as gathered, in the coolest place available. 7. The prevention at all times of moisture in any form coming in con tact with the eggshells. 8. The disposal of young cockerels before they begin to annoy the hens. Also the selling or confining of old male birds from the time hatching is over until cool weather in fall. 9. The using of cracked and dirty as well as small eggs at home. Such eggs, If consumed when fresh, are perfectly wholesome, but when mar keted are discriminated against and are likely to become an entire loss. 10. The marketing of all eggs at least once a week, and oftener, when convenience allows. 11. Keeping eggs as cool and dry as possible while on the way to town and while in country stores. 12. Keeping eggs away from musty cellars or bcl odors. 13. The ure of strong, clean cases and good fillers. 14. The sl ipping of egg3 to the fi nal market at least once a week and oftener if possible. Milo Hastings, in United States Circular. Some Dairy Helps. Not all of us have good dairy fur nishing, nor yet all with good, or fairly good cellars, so sometimes it is necessary to think up substitutes for use during the heated term. A milk room, with good roof and solid floor of some sort, cement is the nicest, -and with tree shade over it, with plenty of cold water handy to use is better for butter making thru the summer, than are the majority of cellars, besides being much easier kept clean. Where there is a building with a good roof, near the well, one can clean it up and have a "near milk room." A neighbor of ours cleaned up such a room, and as there was no natural shade, she schemed and worked out a ceiling that helped In three ways, made tho room cleaner, cooler and lighter. The celling was made of some discarded bed ticks, made of heavy muslin, but bleached white; they were sewed together until of the ri'ght dimensions, then the muslin was tacked across one end and side, then tightly stretched and tacked across the opposite end and side. With the few cents outlay for tacks, a clean ceiling was In the room. This help, with a milk trough, enables her to get about all the cream and butter from the milk, all thru the summer. It is nice yellow butter, too, a close second to the creamery. A good way to keep butter nice with out ice, is to have a keg, barrel or large jar, in which place coarse sand to the depth of six inches, now set in the butter Jar, several sizes smaller than the sand receptacle, now fill tight ly all around the butter jar with the course sand. Cover the butter jar tightly but. a coarse canvas or a piece of clean carpeting will be the thing to cover over the sand vessel. By keeping the sand soaked all the time with cold water, the butter will be solid and nice when wanted for the table, or for marketing. Some yet place the but ter in a pail with a cover, and hang in the well. This Is old style, and cannot be tried with the driven wells, nor is it handy or very safe, If there ai little folks around; it will keep the butter nicely, though. One thing i3 absolutely essential in making good butter thru the summer, and this is absolute cleanliness from start to finish. Cream and butter have a habit, and a tenacious one, of ab sorbing any and every odor within reaching distance, so the thing is to keep the odors at a very great dis tance. Ice is necessary but good but ter may be made without it, by using much care, and more work. E. C., in the Indiana Farmer. Notes. If your chicks are not coming up to what you think they should, look and see that the fault does not lie with the male. A very Important thing in poultry raising is in caring for the eggs after they are layed up to the tima they are marketed. , Green tender weeds t' "own to the fowls afford them a varuty of green stuff and save labor by r.ot being al lowed to seed. Poultry are said to c'-mse them selves of insect pests by casting their feathers and then shakes the pests off with the dust. Stuffing, poultrymen ff-crt, never did make hens lay, as it ciakes them fat and lazy, and lazy ifrds never were noted for their layOi? qualities. A practical poultry raiser never for gets to keep his fowls' disss strictly clean and to supply them vith good, clean food and water, and plenty of it. Sunshine and air are f -sential to health in chickens as wel. as to any other live stock on the tarm. See fl at the place where they are kept has windows to let the sunshine in and ventilators to bring in fiesh alir. It is claimed that not one producer in a hundred tests his eggs; just tak es chances and ships, guaranteeing them to be fresh eggs, not knowing how many old nest eggs he has put in, or how many have large blood clots and are worthless. Bound To Happen. "Will the Pole ever be found?" "I wouldn't wonder if one of these rescue expeditions blundered into it some day." Louisville Courier-Journal. Afraid of Gfidsts Many people are' afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a fancy and the germ is a fact. If tho germ could be magnified to a size equcl to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in tb.3 air we breathe,' the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is a deficiency of vital force, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek, e hollow eye, when thn appetite is poor and the 6eep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom ech and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no weak or tainted 6pot in which to breed. "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, whisky or habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. It is net n secret nostrum but a medicine op known composition and with a record of 40 years of cures. Accept no substitute there is nothing "just as good." Ask your neighbors.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes: "My three year old son and heir, after being put to bod on a trip across the At lantic, investigated the stateroom nnd lo cated a box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was made for tb box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the contents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and I don't know what else." No more conclusive evidence could be offered that every ingredient of Cuticura Ointment is nbsohitly pure, sweet and "armless. If it may be safely eaten by oung child, none but the most benericiul results can be expected to lit tend its appli cation to even the tendercst skin or youngest infant. rotter Drug & Chem.
