Doctors SaidHeVou Id Die A Friend's Advice Saves Life I wiBh to speak of the wonderful cure that I hare received from your noted Swamp-Root, the great kidney and blad der core. Last summer I was taken with severe pains in my back and Bides. I could not breathe without difficulty and was nearly wild with the desire to urinate. Was compelled to do so every ten min utes with the passage of pure blood with the urine. I tried all the different doc tors from far and near, but they said it was no use to doctor as I would die any way. I was at the end of my rope and was eo miserable with pain and the thought that I must die that words can not tell how I felt. One day a friend told me of the vonderful help she had received from Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. She gave me one of your pamuphlets which I read and determined to try Swamp-Root. After taking half a bottle I felt better. Have now taken ten bottles and am well as I ever was, thanks to Swamp-Root. I wish to tell all suffering people that have kid ney, liver or bladder trouble, that Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root is the best medicine on the market.

A lady gardener once said to me: "I have no trouble in taking a plant out of a pot in which it has been growing for some time, as I simply take a table knife and cut around the Inside of the pot, nnd the plant drops out when the pot is Inverted." But That method cannot be approved, as the knife will ruin many of the roots, and so injure the plant that it will not recover its normal growth again for several weeks after shifting, says a writer , in Park's Floral Magazine. But It is not only in repotting that we wish to take a plant from the pot. Often we wish -to examine the roots or the soil or the drainage, and the easiest way to do it is to place the fingers over the soil, in vert, and tap the edge against the ledge of the table. The manner of grasping the pot is shown in the il lustration. Before doing this it is well to thoroughly water the plant, as this adds to the weight and acts 'Shifting a Plant. as a lubricant in the separation of the roots and soil from the pot. In re-potting it is well to observe these suggestions, as you will thus be enabled to remove your plants from the pots without injury, and promote their health, growth and bloom. HANDY FOR SPRAY MIXTURES Strainer Allows Heavier and Coarser Particles to Wash Aside, Leav ing Rest Free. This strainer is excellent for the reason that the heavier and coarser particles of the spray mixture which A Brass Screen. do not go through are washed down to the lower edge of the sieve thus leaving the rest free for the strain ing of the mixture. MOISTURE IN ORCHARD SOIL Water Is of Prime Importance While Tree Is Fruit Making Chief Ele ments of Success. (By WALTER B. LEUTZ.) As water i3 the means of circulation of plants as well as of animals there fore it is of prime importance that water be present in the soil, in order that the plant food in the soil may be taken up by the trees. Many orchards have sufficient avail able plant food, but lack water at that critical period while the tree is fruit making. If a soil lacks water some form of fertilizers are a positive de triment if they are present in abund ance. The chief elements of success in pre paring an orchard soil for the best re sults may be summed up as: Removing surplus water from ths soil. The conservation of plenty of moisture. The judicious use of manure and cover crops. The use of potash and phosphoric acid in available forms. Cultivation to keep a mulch. Reduc ing the number of trees per acre. By withholding nitrogen, and increasing the amount of mineral matter. By the use of wind breaks. By mulching. By keeping the soil in the best physical condition possible. It is cot wise to stick to the exclusive use of any one practice, but to employ various meth ods to maintain the fertility of the orchard soils.. Buying Trees. The Inexperienced planter thinks he i3 getting a bargain when he buys trees three or four years old, but ex perience will show that yearlings are better end be should never plant any thing over two years old. Always buy clean, straight trees vith short stems, and even then do tot be afraid to prune before plant-ins- 1! s DRAINAGE FOR FLOWER POT So Arranged That Staining of Wood work of Porches by Dripping Wa ter Is Prevented. s The staining of woodwork on porches and posts caused by the drip ping of water from flower pots can be prevented in the following man ner: Make a zinc or galvanized tray of suitable shape in which to set the pots, as shown in the illustration. Solder a tube for the overflow, or Flower Pot Drain. dripping, on one side of the tray. Have the tube long enough to clear the post or part of the porch where the flower pot is set. The tube may be placed to the iear so it cannot be seen from the street, if desired. Place some small pieces of wood beneath the tray to allow the passage of air, thus preventing moisture. The tray can be made in any shape to conform to the shape of the pots. SET OUT STRAWBERRY PLANT Several Methods in General Use, but Matted Row System Seems Best -Keep Weeds Down. There are several methods of plant ing in general use, which may be mod ified -to suit the planter. The method which seems best adapted to ordinary conditions in the matted-row system. In the spring, when the land is in good condition to work, harrow smooth and mark out rows four feet apart and as long as possible. Then set the plants at 18 or ' 24-inch intervals in the rows, and cultivate often enough to keep the weeds out and the soil loose until September, when. If the plants are vigorous growers, the run ners should be about six inches apart. It is desirable to train the runners the long way to the rows, cutting out plants that crowd. In ordinary plant ing trowel or spade is used to set the plants. A spade is an easy implement to open the ground with. Strike it Into the ground and work it back and forth, draw out the spade, spread the roots of the plant, and set -it so the crown comes just to the surface of the ground. Firm the soil well about the roots of the plant. As soon as possible after setting the plants, cul tivation should commence, and it should continue at frequent intervals till fall. Keep the weeds down and the top soil loose. If the runners get too thick, cut out part of them, leaving about six Inches between them. Run ners may be encouraged to root by putting an inch or two of soil over each one near the end. Blue Flowered Hydrangeas. The application to the soil, when hy drangea hortensia is growing, of eith er alum, aluminum sulphate or iron sulphate have been found to induce the formation of blue flowers. Practice clean cultivation in the or chard. A grape vine should bear only a limited number of clusters. No other fruit plant requires so careful pruning as the grape vine. Poultry manure should bo freely used for both fruits and vegetables. There Is danger of sunscald if too many large branches are removed In June. Set the chrysanthemums where they can be protected from cold winds and rainstorms. The apple worm is the larva of the codling moth, and it gets into the ap ple at this season of the year. You cannot raise a young orchard without spraying any more than you can raise apples without spraying. San Jose scale, codling moths, cur culios and other pests rob us of 20 per cent, of our annual $135,000,000 fruit crop. As soon as new shoots appear on the young grape vine3 choose oue or two of the strongest shoots and leava them for growth. Chrysanthemums, planted in good soil and cerefully cultivated through out the summer, will flower abundant ly late in the fall. Remember, that good cultivation with fruit bushe3 or vines during the early growing period is as essential as with corn dr vegetables. In transplanting plants it is much bettor to fill the hole after the plant is set, the soil added gradually, then to water after the hole is filled. Young grapes will bear some fruit the second season after planting il they make a good growth and are otherwise well cared for during th first growing season. It I l' 1 I IBOBLTCT FEW RATIONS FOR FATTENING Agricultural Experiment Station of Pennsylvania Gives Combinations Worked Succesfully. The agricultural experiment station of the Pennsylvania State college sug gests the following grain rations for fattening poultry, as having been used with success by tljem. Where yellow flesh is wanted, a ration should be made of cornmeal, five parts; ground oats (hulls removed) two parts; ani mal meal, one part. Mixed with sour milk. Where a whiter flesh is want ed, the following rations are recom mended. Cornmeal, two parts, ground buckwheat, two parts; ground oats, two parts. Mixed with sour milk. An other, barley mes, two parts; mid dlings, two parts, buckwheat, two parts; cornmeal, one part. Mixed with sour milk. Another, the refuse from shredded wheat and sour milk. When birds are confined for fatten ing, sour milk aids digestion and keeps the system froTn getting fever ish. If no milk is available, some form 0? animal or green food must be supplied to make the best gains. Should a chicken, for any reason, get off its food, a good plan is to turn it out in the yard. It will usually re cover in a short time. Water should be given, once a day and grit twice a week. The rations should be fed rath er soft, about-like porridge. -The food , Vpf pro jLhmfxDia I to Keep the young chicks out of the rain and dampness. Corn, with nothing else, is the greatest cause of no eggs. Artificial incubation in recent years has assumed large proportions. 1 Ovr-feeding causes chicks to be In active and susceptible to disease. Th very best rule is to watch the fowls and feed about all they will eat. The material used in preparing the nests for siting hens should be fresh and clean. Ducks are very dirty about the wa ter pans, making the drinking water unfit for chickens. If you cannot get one this year, get a brooder and wait for the incubator until next season. Fowls require the equivalent of about 27 pounds of dry feed for each 600 pounds of live weight. Hens require plenty of green food, as well as room for exercise, in addi tion to liberal grain feeding. A hen that is laying an egg every other day will consume considerably more food than one that is not laying at all . Chickens and ducklings bred from immature stock have not the same vigor as those whose parents were full grown. The unsanitary conditions of the coops is the cause of the mortality of thousands upon thousands of chicks every season. Apply kerosene to the roosts with a cloth or swab twice a week during the Fummer or warm weather to kill the red spider lice. There are almost as many ways and methods of feeding and caring for tur keys are there are localities where they are grown. Frequently cleaning and disinfect ing of all the poultry quarters means less trouble and more profit3. Usa carbolated whitewash freely. ie 23 Types of the Christian Life By Dr. Hugh T. Kerr, Chicago TEXT Jesus loved Martha and her sis ter and Lazarus. John 11:5. Jesus loved Martha and her Bister and Lazarus. Jesus loved them all. Yet he loved each of them, Martha and Mary and Lazarus. Each of them has a place in his heart. Yet they are so different. Jesus does not ask for monotony, but variety in his kingdom. The kingdom of grace is like the king dom of nature. No two varieties are alike. In my Father's house are many mansions. One family, but many mem bers. One home, but many hearts. That was the revelation of God's character in the Old Testament. He was the son of Abraham, of lfcaac, of Jacob. How different theyf were. Abraham the faithful, the consecra ted, the pathfinder. Isaac the lacka daisical, the indifferent, the father of an illustrious son, th son of an illus trious father. Jacob the Jew crafty and cunning, yet tender-hearted and visionary, and God was the father of each and yet loved them all. The fivalt with us is we want reli gion to level human nature at a dead uniformity, and we think Christians should all be conformed to our type, forgetting that Cbjist is the universal type so universal that we may all be unike each other and yet all be like him. It is the fault that belongs to our education. We grind all our chil- dren through the same mill. Black iant and dunderhead, they must all ubmit to the same polishing process. It is the fault of our church system, lso. We want to level down the whole ongregation to our own miserable jvel. We think Christ has conceived us the true conception of the saint. here is the Sunday school type and e Christian Endeavor type and the rayer meeting type. There is the el- r type and the trustee type. The W. i T. U. type and th.e Y. M. C. A. type. he temperance type and the mlssion- y type. There is the Presbyterian id the Methodist and the Baptist pe. The Mary and the Martha and e Lazarus type. But the love of d is broader than the measure of lin'R mi ml and nil mnv ho Inr-lnrlp his all embracing love. let us remember that Jesus loved try and Martha and Lazarus. Mary passive, Martha the active, and zarus the patient. Mary satisfied be. Martha to do. Lazarus to without. Mary the waiter. Martha ithe worker. Lazarus the watcher. lary content to sit. Martha content serve. Lazarus content to suffer. id Jesus loved each and he loved all. IJesus loved Martha. That is what k record says. The active,1 busy serv- hristian Martha. She is in the Ijority today and fs greatly in de- nd. Sometimes she is apt to think is the only one whom the Lord les. She nas much bcripture to te in favor of her disposition and has the authority of great men favor the strenuous life. What jti the Lord require of thee but ilo justly and to love mercy. Pure glon and undefiled before God and Father is this: to visit the father and widows in their affliction. "Be jdoers of the word and not hearers y." flartha is everywhere respected honored today because she does igs. She is the Sunday' school, the prayer meeting, the church services, the missionary society, the ladies' aid. She is cooking, praying, sewing, visit ing, collecting for the kingdom of God, until when night cornea she falls asleep too tired to say her prayers. And Jesus loved Martha. And we must love her too. A religion that finds its joy in service and in conse crated activity is apt to be a moral power. A religion that finds God nearer in moments of sentiment or musical ecstasy, instead of In mo ments of moral endeavor, Is extreme ly dangerous. Jesus loved Martha. Jesus loved Mary. Mary the quiet, retiring sister who sat at his feet. Mary's claim to recognition came from being willing to wait upon his words. She is like the beautiful picture through which you look into the great far beyond. ' She is' like whispering music singing comfort into troubled hearts. In a world of sin and turihoil Mary sat in the confidence of a beautiful trust. She was like another beauti ful girl upon whose , tombstone her friends carved the words: "It was easier to be good when she was with us." That was Mary's tribute. "What interests the world in Mr. Gladstone," writes John Morley, "is even more what he was than what he did." What Interests the world in Jesus Is not so much .his beautiful teaching aa his more beautiful life. It was a hard lesson for Elijah to learn. He was the child of the storm and the tempest. He lived in reforma tions and, revolutions. "Behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains and brake In pieces the rocks before Je hovah." My dear friends, let us not take away from the boundless power the love of God. He loved Mary and Martha and Lazarus. All with their differences. And they all loved him. Mary sits at his feet. Martha hur ries to supply his wants. And Lazarus is content to glorify him with his radiant resurrection glory. With all our differences and misunderstand ings and eelfishness we love him and each in tu.n is loved by him. SEVEN YEARS OF MISERY All Relieved by Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. SlkeBton,Mo. "For seven years I Buffered everythinff. I was in bed tor lour or nve days at a tin every month, ami so weak I could hardly walk. I cramped and had backache and head ache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or havo anyone move in tho room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me at those times, and said that loueht to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband told him about Lydia E.
