The Center of Atlraclion iSr MONARCH DISPLAY The Monarch WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION anywhere that you find men who produce maple sugar. fEvery Sugar Maker should be thoroughly posted Write at once for information. MONARCH EVAPORATOR Putting Tobacco in Tins is Like "Locking the Stable Door" "After the Horse is Gone" Real tobacco flavor depends upon the leaf being preserved in its natural state, possible only by pressing the leaves into plug form and keeping it in by covering it with a natural leaf wrapper. The natural flavor and strength of tobacco escape when cut or granulated.

Take a Plug of Sickle that is even thoroughly dried out so that when you whittle it off it crumbles into dust, but it will burn and smoke smooth and cool as it has all of its original tobacco flavor preserved, unevaporated in Plug Form. Whittling a pipeful is little trouble, amply repaid in both quality and quantity. Try this experiment and judge for yourself. F. L.

Stock owners should sit tight and not become panicky over the foot and mouth epidemic, says the American Cultivator. The famous "watchful waiting" pol- icy applies here.

When the dis- ease appears nearby don't visit the place and visitors should be kept away. Tie up the dogs. 4 Shut off the infected farms so far as possible, but no need to get a scare and sell all stock as 2 some western farmers are re- ported doing. We have had the epidemic before and always the scare has been much greater than the damage. HOOF AND MOUTH DISEASE.

Some Facts About Plague That Is Causing Havoc In Many States. Somewhere in southern Michigan a few weeks ago a cow became ill. She was feverish, saliva dripped from her mouth, her milk supply ceased, she became lame and ulcers formed in her mouth. Today fourteen states In the Union are quarantined against the hoof and mouth disease, the most dreaded distemper among hoofed animals. Millions of dollars have been sacrificed in the thousands of animals that have been slain to stop the spread of the disease.

The Chicago stockyards for the first time in almost half a century were absolutely emptied of beef cattle, sheep and hogs, and the national and state governments are exerting every effort to stay the pestilence which is bound to prove so costly and to deplete our food supply so greatly. In England in 1871 there was a siege that cost the country $10,000,000. Germany in 1905 suffered a loss of The present is the fifth and most severe outbreak of the hoof and mouth disease that has visited this country. In New England an outbreak in 1902 cost 5,000 animals. It is impossible at this time to state how many animals SOME GUARDED YOUNO STOCK have been slaughtered, as the number Increased daily as the precautions were doubled.

Although the hoof and mouth disease has been known in this country only a generation, it has visited European countries for a couple of centuries and was imported to our shores by infected cattle. It manifests Itself in ulcers about the mouth and feet Fever, saliva and lameness are symptoms. In malignant outbreaks the death rate Is high, but in mild attacks It is low. However, cattle and hogs that survive usually continue in poor condition. The disease is highly infectious, cattle, hogs and sheep being its chief victims.

Like many other diseases, but little Is known of the hoof and mouth ailment and the virus which transmits it All that science can tell us is that it is highly infectious and can be checked only by stamping It out, killing diseased animals and disinfecting places where they have been. 1 IN ORCHARD AND GARDEN Scions of apples for grafting next spring may be cut now. After the first fall of snow Is a good time to thin out the neighborhood rabbits. Covering the strawberry bed with straw and mulching the lawn shrubbery is in order now. A little sulphur dusted over plants that show signs of mildew will often stop the spread of the disease.

Paper white narcissuses and daffodils potted early may be brought to heat and light and will soon flower. All roots and cnbbages should be in winter storage now.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Genuine Merit Required to Win the People's Confidence Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of tight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfil the promise of the manufacturer, This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended to those who have been benefitted, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr.

Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidnev, liver and bladder diseases, Corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
