Even Blackstone, In S;he great jurist, defines a lunatic to be ape 0o one who is insane at times but has wl a lucid intervals during certain changes em re of the moon. And although the med- vyi ical world has long since exploded the aj til I supestitioustheory of the moon's in- to Luence on the mind, the name lunatic In ie of till obtains and is applied to all in- ay sane persons. After South Carolina tom the had seceded, a man asked Mr. Petti- m a p.rew which was the road to the lunatic coy tisn ssylum. "Any road-all the roads," qu ibed he said, "the whole state is one vast sh to lunatic asylum." Almost everybody ee be a has some superstition about the moon's ta Air influence on vegetation. My good to, S eighbor, Mrs. Fields, told me last twe week that she had been right busy all be d clay planting her potatoes, "for," said gr cae she, "you know it is the dark of the w4 moon now." She is the best gardener me in the town and always succeeds, but en she does herself injustice when she them gives the moon any credit for her suc- w oess. Many years ago I made a fair ch was test of the moon theory, for I planted .I wil- four rows in my garden in the dark of ta the moon and then four more right be- er Ite to side them two weeks later and gave all tk the same culture, and I found no dif- Je aren ference in the yield. The best time to al ow plant potatoes is when the ground is fig ready for them, and it may be very ri f .ot unready if we wait for the dark of the moon. But I have found that good dr os farmers differ about how many days so fr ar included in the dark of the nuvon tr SP Some say one, some say two or three, 'g ink and others say all the days of the a moon's wane, which would be about thirteen. But if there is anything in the moon theory, why confine it to Irish pota yo toes and peas and beans? Why not ( m5. apply it to sweet potatoes and ground sC peas and corn and wheat? r But there are other superstitions o that even the most sensible and well tb A educated people cannot shake off. The r Ss. roasted chtcken on our table today was otgarnished with parsley and we have " none in our garden. I asked my wife o ghly where it came from. "From Mrs. J5 SPoetell's," she said. "I will get some Sfrom her," said I, "and plant it. I sowed the seed last spring, but it did E not come up." "No," said my wife, d "you won't get it from Mrs. Postell, E aless you go in the night and steal i it. She believes that it is a gift that t earries death with the giving, and she t wouldent give you a plant for the I S world. Why, she declares that it h lwaysl aaes a death in the family, ad only three years ago a neighbor pulled up some by the roots against '' her p rotest and tool it home and planted it, and the woman died within ual week " Sof Well, now Mrs. Postell is a very S omart, f nltured and well-balanced bYtag oman, but she is a lunatle on that Ssubject, and I fea that say wife is showing syptoans of the sae malady, (e Certain-ft i- s a~e will not hea of my. sal ttlg i arstly planta from anybody el's as aglta ad eostai it is I am net a the going ot at nght to steal any.

When Governor Hogg on was running for governor of Texas he secretly carried the left hind foot of a ra mule-eared rabbit and said "Goodby vol 'ark"-you see, it is the left hind i foot that is held in reverence, and that is the one to carry. I've an idea of seenlag out there for one for Colonel 'g Candler as soon as the greyhounds get bu3 after him.

P To the farmer hemlock, which is a b comparatively new material in the West, should appeal with special force o because of its peculiar adaptability for ti certain classes of construction com- d bined with cheapness. It is actually better for some things than white n V pine, and yet can be had at a much 5 lower price. It is better for some I- things than yellow pine-better, in s fact, for corn-cribs than any other h e material. u d Hemlock has the advantage of being d n both strong and stiff; that is, it is d capable of bearing a heavy strain and of not yielding to it until the breaking- f n point is closely approached; therefore, r, for farming material it is unexcelled. t For mud-sills and in situations where t le it is subject to alterations of moisture , and dryness hemlock is found ex n tremely desirable. Therefore, to a i. large part of farm building construc La tion it is peculiarly well adapted. r In sections. of Iowa where it has d-. been thoroughly tried hemlock is given the preference for barn con e struction. It is a little late in the i season to talk about corn-crib material, h. and yet the attention of the farmers er should be called to the fact, supported '" by much irrefutable evidence, that n, rats and mice will not attack hemlock, m and so cribs built of it are rat and se mouse proof, except as the rodents to may find their way through openings p into cribs. They will not make an 4 opening, however, and this fact should ) commend it for this purpose to the do farmers.-The Lumberman. l PFence Corners and Thickets. ml Fence corners that are allowed to i's grow up in dense brush and sprout Ito growth bespeak the lack of energy and :u- push in the man whose farm it is. at At this time of the year such fence corners may be cut out and made to m" look like the fence corners of the ry twentieth century farmer. Bail fences ng which run through dense wood are re the hardest to keep clear of brush. to When there is no snow on the ground two men with a brush scythe and axes at and pitchfork can dispose of the brush ny very speedily. Of course, this simply ch. clears it away for a short season; in or the spring the young branches come th- out, and by fall make strong sprouts le- again. But the treatment has to-be aib given each winter else the sprouts and n't brush will be more stubborn than at rn first. And on most farms there are ba- several small or perhaps large hol lows, on either side of which is a in- heavy growth of brush. In the man und ner above described this may be ex est terminated. If the land near the hol lee low be rolling, and therefore liable to d, wash, the brush when cut should be .s piled in the mouth of the ditch so as to catch the dirt and trash that may be washed therein. for This will in the course of a few years set entirely fill up the ditch. If the sides ad- of the hollow are not too uneven, a ore plow may be used on them to good jar advantage in the spring.. A new hat ground plow, with a sharp cutter at nds tached and a steady team, should be uar; used. Plow pretty deep, so as to root iey out the roots. After plowing give out the ground a thoroughharrowing with hea large-tooth harrow. The "A" har er, row is what I use. The harrowing i0e will get most of the roots near the can surface and scatter them, after which ·na gather thetn and put in piles, and'when ot5 dry set fire to them. This does the ien work admirably. A lasting carpet is the made on the plowed surfsce by sow be ing thereon in the spring a mixture of At- lawn grass seed, which, of course, is pretty well mixed with timothy seed. Each spring the sprouts have to be cut. A few sheep will cut them down ent and keep the buds nipped off.--"Mie er. souri Farmer," in the Epitomist. the saings Hms ad Young CbLekens. l April and M3I are the best months en. for hatching and with the pen of one sly, male and a dozen hens, which have ' been well cared for cluring the winter, and yeou should be supplied with plenty of lor eggs by that time, irwhich may be de In pended upon to hatch a fair per cent.

Later, the body of a lice also kill many young fowls. There Add are many ways of ridding sitting hens of lice. I use insect powder and car- pias bolic soap. First powder the hen thoroughly and strew a handful of tht powder in the nest, then take the ar- th bolic soap and wet her head and neck Mei with strong suds.

J., writes: " Dain Mas. PINxaA:-I cannot be gin to tell you how r suffered before taking your remedies. I was so weak ;hat I eouldhardly walk across the floor ,vithout faling. I had womb trouble mnd such a bearing-down feeling ; also suffered with my back and limbs, pain ;a womb, inflammation of the bladder, piles and indigestion. Before I had taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I felt a great deal better, and after taking two and one I hdlf bottles and half a box of your I Liver Pills I was ated. If more would take your medicine they would. not have to suffer so much." Mrs. JosEPn PITBnsox, 513 East St., t Warren, Pa., writes: 'ha,-'4 r "Dgs Mas. PINKsx:-I have suf fered with womb trouble over fifteen. t years. .I had inflammation, enlarge ment and displacement of the womb. I had the backache constantly, also headache. and was so dizzy. I had r heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times ehok ing me. I could not walk around and a I could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast I would feel as a though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bednights in order to brothe. I was so weak I conld not do any thing. S"I have now taken several bot . ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's.Vegetable A Compound, and used three' paek ages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink ham's medicine had not helped me." STHE , FRAUD ENJOINED. em be TIa tet.sSk ae Oedl be Ie, s.ee se ah is!
