County Road Law.

The idea has been entertained by some
who have not giveii the law careful exaiii-
inatioii. that in counties adopting the sys-
teiii all the roads in thecounty will be built.
improved and maintained b_v a county tax,
under the siipeiwision and control of the
county coniinissioiiers; but it will be seen
from the law quoted in my last article that
such  not the case. The adoption of the
county systeni does not annul or in
any way change or interfere with the pres-
ent township and district system.-'e.\'cept
to doubly tax for iniproving and niaintain-
ing roads, every property holder within
the county. not living upon or interested
in the particular roads selected by the
coiiiinissioners for county roads. That is.
such persons will be taxed as at present.
not only to build and inaintaiii the roads
in which tlie_V are interested. but also the
said county i'oads, and inziin streets in vil-
lages. connecting with such roads. This
systein of iinproving roads by county tax-
ation is in direct violation of the just
teaeliings of political ecoiioniy, that where
public iuiproveinents are niade by taxation
the property bearing the burden should be

benefitted in some de}_rree coiiuncii.-urate :

with the amount of tax. This principle is
liable to abuse in counties liaving local iii-
terests centered in cities and villages.
which have the power to control the elec-
tions and expenditure of nioncy.

To illustrate:
which has adopted the systeiii. a beautiful
drive-way costing nearly $'_’H.ooo has
been constructed with money received
from the sale of county bonds from a city
in one e.\’trenie corner of tiie county~——an-l
tlirough a county not well adapted to agri-

cultural purposes~ to a celebrated suinincr ‘

resort. It is a beautiful drivc»way for car-
riages and wheels. and must be of great

benefit and a luxury to the people of the ‘

city and vicinity; and had the cost of coii-
structing it been borne by "them. no one

could question the polic__v or their riglit to I

build it. But when we take into consider-
ation the fact that it was built by county
bonds. which every tax-payer in the couiitv
is arbitrarily compelled to pa_v. the ques-

tioii of justice and equitv may \vell be 

raised. It is said that Silttliiien were em-

ployed in building that road. and it 
reasonable to infer that but vcrv few of ‘

them were tax payers; and had the ques-
tion been subniitted for a further increase
of county bonds for local purposes ever_v

one of them could have been induced to 

vote for _iiiore bonds. which would give
them more work. Ido not refer to this
isolated case for the purpose of criticising
those who legally availed theniselvesof the

franchises which the law gave them. for ;

that had the iiiinority who have suflered
possessed the power. they would have
been more considerate of the interests of
of others. But I have calledattentioii to it
for the pui'pose of clearly iinpressing upon
the minds of the farmers of Micliigan the
wrong and injustice which lurks in the
provisions of this iiiost exti'aordinary law.

and the danger of placing sucli a club in -

the hands of the strong to beat the weak.
iiow'THi: LAW woitks.

It is claimed that the law was intended
to build iiiain thoroughfares through a
county, to give farmers better roads over
which to haul their products to a city mar-
ket. \\'hile this may seeiii plausible as a
reason to silence the opposition of farmers.
yet as a business proposition it is not ten-
able. The most diflicult and expensive
hauling which farniers have to contend
with is to draw their crops from the field,
compared to which the hauling of their
pepared surplus to market is but a trifle.

Vould it be ,considered a wise business _

operation for a man to mortgage his farm
to build a gravel or niacadaiiiized road
even by his own p1'_£_Il1iSeS, however agree-

‘ able it may be to him or pleasant for others

to drive on or run their wheels over? _ And

A Word of Warning.

It is not the purpose of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry to limit the freedom
of the citizen. but rather to teach our meni-
hers to enjoy this freedom in its fullest
and best sense.

The Founders of o11i' Order.
had this thought in their minds when they
placed the restrietioiis in our constitution.
They knew very well that the I]1eI1ll)e1‘sl]ip
would be composed of those who ditl'ered
widely in their religious and political views,
and in order to protect each member in
the full enjoyiiient of personal views and
beliefs, it was provided that no one should

no doubt,

., interfere with the same, by assailing them

in our fraternal meetings.

The original article of the constitution
relating to this matter reads as follows:
“Religious or political questions Will not
be tolerated as subjects of discussion in the
work of the Order.” Afterwards the Ian-

It is necessary in the first pit!-1'4} to liavc
a definite knowledge of what nionopolics

during the past few years. that niaiiy peo-
ple have come to think that they are the
product of some evil genius, who planted
them in the fertile soil of huinaii greed and
sellisl‘iiiess. which has given tlieni sucli a

the fact, for monopolies in sonie form
have existed from time iiniiir.rinorial. and
wise men have seen the iiec(-ssity of legis-

In 15,14 the following was inscribe.d on a
tablet, which was placed in the first State

I’RECAUTIO_\’S.

To go back again, if the milk stands still
in the barn fifteen or twenty minutes the
fat (1. e. cream) begins to rise, when the
milk is carried to the house the fat is re-
disti-ibuted, if allowed to stand, it again
begins to rise, only to be thoroughly mixed
in again when the milk is finally oured
into the pans or creamer to rise. W ithout
entering into a discussion of why this is so,
I will only say that careful experiments
show that where the setting of the milk is
delayed in this way there is a large loss of
butter fat. In no way can we make 11p
for delay in setting. It should be done im-
mediatelly after milking while it is still
warm. Jxce ting of course the separator,
the deep setting with ice water at a tem-
perature below -.15 degrees is the most sat-

THE GRANGE VISITOR.

\1t(omAii.’s wosx.

Caledonia.

lljreathes there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,

This is my own, my native land.’
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned,

From Wandering on a foreign stran!
If such there breathe, go, mark liiui well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell:

High though his titles, proud his name.
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
pesnite those titles, power, and pelf.
l‘he wretch, concentrated all in self,
Living. shall forfeit fair renown,

And. doubly dying, shall go down

1:0 the vile dust from which he sprung.
1. nwept, unhonored. and unsung.

0 Caledonia! stern and wild,

Meet nurse for a poetic childf

Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,
Land of the mountain and the Hood.
Land of my sires! what mortal hand
Can e’er untie the iilial band

That knits me to thy rugged strand 2'
«Still, as I View each well-known scene,
Think what is now and what hath been,
Seems as, to me, of all bereft,

Sole friends thy woods and streams were left,
And thus 1 love them better still,

Even in extremity of ill.

By Yarrows stream still let me stray,
Though none should guide my feeble way,
Still feel the breeze clown littrick break,
Although it chill my withered cheek:
Still lay my head by Teviot stone.
Though there, forgotten and alone.

The bard may draw his parting groan.

lfiinerson E. \\'hitc gives an illustration
of a model school where the yard was sur-
rounded by shade trees and the winding
walks from gates to doorways were orna-
mented with slirubhery and flowers. The
interior of such a school—honsc would he
found to he as inviting as the exterior.
The patrons would be sure to be proud of
it, and as a consequence there would be
few cases of punishment.

Nor do we find the cultivation of liowers
and trees entirely at the home and the
school, but at many other public places as
well, such as the parks and depots of many
of our towns and cities.

Teachers and Grangers should unite in
their part of the work and instill in the

_ minds of the younga love of the beautiful.

How to Keep the Boys and Girls on the
Farm.

This is a problem that older and wiser
heads than mine have failed to solve. “'9
have heard that if a Catholic can have the
training of a child until it is ten years of
age, that child will remain a Catholic
through life, no matter what influence may
afterwards be employed to change its faith.
Place 3, child in Sabbath school of any de-
nomination and keep him interested, and
if the parents take an active part in the
school, the impression will be indelibly
written on the mind of the child, which
time and change of scene will fail to erase.
I have known men to vote for their party
whether Democrat or Republican, even
when they knew the man they were voting
for was a rascal, simply because their fathers
had believed it was “all right, ” when in their
own minds they knew it was all wrong.

VVhen We consider how early impressions
follow a child through life is it any wonder
that the boys and girls are eager and
anxious to leave the farm? From their
earliest recollection they have been taught
the dark side of farming, and “hard times”

\\'c are living in the electrical age and
the old inethods of farniing have cliaiiged

with the times. and in this busy. liurrving ,

age. our boys and girls must have some
incentive to keep them where they ought
to stay, on the farm. in order to do this
we must give them a personal respon.sibil-
ity and iiitercst in the work. .\lake the
home inst as attractive as you can and «rive
them every advantage you can afford.
By’ all means «rive your hovs and trirls a
good educatioii, in order to -do this it isnot
necessary to send them very far from home.
Right here. is where so many parents make
mistakes. It sounds well to say our cliil-
dren arc educated at some college miles
away from home. so there they are sent to
come home during the longvaeation. They
soon form new ties and acqiiaiiitaiices. and
the parents find to their sorrow. before
those college days are over. that their chil-
dren have almost drifted out of their lives,
these college students are ashamed of their
parents and the old home has lost its charm
. , .
for them forever‘ when if the children
could come home at least once a week.

It is the sinallcst hii'd we have in this 3

by iiaturalists. Tliey are all foiuid in

liuropean countries.

Altliougli they are the smallest hird.
they can fly very fast ——so fast that you can
hardly follow them with the eye. When
we see them llitting about ainon<_r the
flowers, they are searcliing for food. They
have long beaks, and while they are hum-
iiiing about the liowers the long tongue is
sipping the honey. They are called by
this name because they move their tiny
wings so rapidly that a humining sound is
made. They will also eat some iiisects.
but they are very dainty little creatiires.

A bird lover once caughtaruby-throated
humming bird in his hand and held it until
some honey and dissolved sugar were
brought. it did not try to move, and only
slyly opened its eyes to look around.
V\'hena hit of syrup was touched to its
tongue it stood up and began to drink the
food from the spoon until it seemed to
have all it could hold. After this the
gentleinan kept the bird for some time.
Then he set it free, but after a while it re-
turned again to its friends. It would
stand on the edge. of a cup and drink with
eagerness. It was amusing to see the
little creature drink the food.

The ruby-throated makes a very delicate
nest among the branches of low trees or
shrubs. It is a. very delicate alfair. The
outside is covered with light—gray lichen
and glued together. When it is done it
looks so much like the branch upon which
it is made that you would not notice it un-
less you were looking very carefully.
The inside of the nest is lined with soft,
delicate fibers gathered from the plants.

This bird, although it is one of the small-
est, is also the most fearless. It is a real

Fact and Fiction in Novels.

'l‘here never was a story whose interest
would not have hccn gi‘c:itci' if, just as it
was. it had been actual fact.

But. on the other hand. there never wasa
bunch of facts wliicli would not have h_eeii
more intei'cstiiig if. just as they were. tlie_v
could have ptisscsscil all. and only, the
featui'es and ari'aiigcinent the story—tellcr
would have liked them to have. llis inain
puruo.'s:e. however grave, however playful
he may he. is to convey, not weighty iii-
forination. hut welcome emotions. thereby
to establish. for the nioment, at least, and
as much longer as he may, spiritual facts
of life in the sensibilities, sentinients, and
affections of his readers. Forliiin fact and
tiction alike are but means to this end.
He draws no distinctions between them.
As long as facts serve him best he will use
them, (lisgiiised as tietion. \Vhen fictions
suit better he will use them, in the guise of
facts. And when the improbable is his
best instrument, as at times it may be, he
does well to use it, if he can so wield it that
in the end it is cheerfully forgiven by the
head, for the good it has brought to the heart.

VVhy, then, are we so much more easily
interested by fiction than by fact?

\\'e are not. Fiction that is only liction
has no pleasing interest whatever. Nor is
any such thing to be found in literature.
It is the facts in the tiction.—not mixed
with it, as some boor may mix sand with
sugar, but the facts in the fiction, as oiii'
life is in our blood,—it is this that holds
our interest. Every fact is interesting to
every one interested in the group of facts
to which it belongs, and every fact of the
heart’s experience is interesting to every
true heart; so interesting that only by tak-
ing on the drapery of art can tiction coni-
pete with naked fact atall.—Guo. W. (.217/la

“'0 wish to call especial attention to several
notableiirticles which appear in this week's
issue of the V lSl’I‘0l’.. In discussing the valui-
of the experiment stations, I5rotliei'Crosbv
clearly shows that they are making for
great progress in fariiiing. Ilis sugges-
tioii relative to extending the work by
il1(lll‘tt}ll:}_" tfarinterst in cvcr_v towiiship
in ic s ate o rv some expeiriiient
is being ti'ied in ii ver_v iiiodest sort of
way through the county institute societies.
\Ve believe that about 50 farniers in dif-
ferent parts of the state are experiiiienting
in various ways this year. Brother Crosbyis
suggestion is a valuable one. In fact it
leads us to say that there is a whole world
of work before some one who can organize
and iiiaintaiii a system of agricultural col-
lege extension, this carrying of educatioii
right to the doors of the farm home. I\o
agricultural college, however successful,
can reach more than the nierest fraction of
the fziriiiers of the state. Its other work,
that of going out to the farniers through
the Fariii Home Reading Circle, extension
lectures, and various publications, though
perhaps not so vital and inspiring, is even
more far-reaching and iiiiportaiit than the
work with students.

M r. Van l\oi'iiiaii, who writes the article

on l)lItlel‘-lli{tl(lIl0'. lectured last winter be-
. oh . . n
fore 13.’) county institutes on this subject,
and was everywhere received with great
favor. He is an expert butter-maker.
The point he makes in this article is one
well worth thinking of. because he says it as
involves no extra expense. Our own farm
-experience and observation lead us to
think that while one great factor in success
is intelligent carefulness, this truth is fre-
quently neglected in the case of thousands
who complain because they do not succeed
so well as their neighbors. \\ e must look
after legislation, we must look after good
government and farm organizations, but
let us look out for ourselves, that we are
utilizing every opportunity within our
grasp to make success certain.

Sister English, in her paper on “How to
keep the boys and girls. on the farin,”
covers an important topic in amost de-

lightful Way. There is a sentence of hers,
however, that leads us to say a word or
two, not in criticism, ‘but simply because
it is suggested by the sentence. She says
that sometimes boys and girls come back
from college and look down upon their
parents. Now we want to.say that if any
boy or girl, after having finished a college
course, comes back to the old home and
cannot endure to remain there because they
are ashamed of the old father and mother
who have given their best years for these
children,——we say that such children have
not been educated,——they have ‘simply been
swelled by the classical stufl _which _has
been poured into them at the institution,
or else‘they have been most woefully ne-
glect-ed in their earlier years. A. person
who is educated cannot help seeing the
faults of speech and manner in those un-
educated, but that should not, and will not
if the person has received the right .tI_'8.«1n-
ing and has the proper sort of spiritual
makeup, make them ashaned of anyone be-
cause of their lack of this education and

I closes his argument by urging its repeal.

\\'e have always stood by the county road
law, though not because it is perfect, for
we recognize that it contains iiiany weak

I points both in principle and in practice.

It has been adopted by soiiie six or seven

K counties in the state, we believe. and so far

as we know it has given fair satisfaction in

it, just as there areabuses of any other law.
But Brotlier \\'oodiiian's poiiitsagairist the
law may be accepted. every one of them.
and still we think that he has not made

.an arguiiieiit sulliciciit for the repeal of
' the law.

To show that the law _ought to be
repealed, there must be specificiiillv shown

4 one or both of two tliiiigs: lll’.\t.tl1:ll~tl1t.‘ law.

or perhaps even not possessing it, it is be-
ing forced, or is likely to be forced, upon
counties agaiiist the wishes of a large iiii—
iiorit_v wlioarc iiiost vitally interested. So
far as we know neither of tlicse condit-
ions is knovx ii to be geiii-i':illy true.
\\'c desire our readers to rciiiciiiber
that we are not dcfeiidiii;i' the county
.,-_//mm asa slate systeiii. but wc do feel
that the optional county road /in/' has nianv
fe:itui'cs that coiiiiiicnd it. A nuiiiber of
counties, as we said, are working under it

alreadv. and can not be deprived of:

working furtlier under it if they want to.
A number of other counties in the IYUl'tl)L'1'll
part of the state it st-eiiis to us will lu-

grcatly benefited by the adoption of the 4
law. \\'c feel that it is only fair to the f

nortlicrii counties of the state that the law
be retained on statiite books. \Ve are
open to conviction, but as facts are at
present, we cannot favor the repeal of the
law however many defects we may readily
see in the systcin itself. Is it not possible
that the law could be retained. but in an
iiiiproved form, thus doing greater good
in thc counties where they want it! Per-
haps also there is some way of lessciiiiig
tho clianccs of its uiidesircd adoption.

()iily about four months rciiiaiii beforc
the next State (iraiigc convenes. This
will be an e:-jipecially iiiiportaiit nieetiiig,
because iiiatters of legislation will have to
receive a great deal of attention. Is it not
time that we began discussioii in the Sub-
ordinate (irmiiges of tliose topics that we
wish to discuss at State (irange and to de-
cide upon tlieui for legislative action! \\'e
cannot begin any too soon in this matter,
because the questions are iiiauy and im-
portant, and some of them difijcult and iii-
volved. \\'e must have them so thorough-
l_v discussed in thc Subordinate Granges
that when the State Grange meets the del-
egates will be thoroughly posted on the
various pliascs of the questions. and can
get together in their views and unite upon
two or three iiieasures which they wish to
piisli before the legislature, and also ex-
press theinselves in sucli a way that the
legislziture will not care to pass certain
nieasures that are not in liarniony with
views of the (irraiiges. The Visiron de-
sires to aid in this discussion all that is
possible, and while we assume no prerog-
ative of any officer in the Grange. we shall
take the liberty of suggesting variousques—
tioiis for discussion. \\'e have selected
them from among those questions which
have been passed upon by previous State
Grraiiges, and which are well known to
every member of the Order as being of
interest to Patrons. Ilence we feel that in
presenting them we are but voicing com-
mon Grange sentiment. We shall endeavor
to have articles upon these various subjects
from the best posted men in the state who
are interested in them from the fariners’
standpoint, and we ask, and shall welcome,
brief, concise contributions from any mem-
bers of the Order who desire to express an
opinion. \Ve should be especially grati-
fied if secretaries of Subordinate Grranges
would send us, in a few well chosen words,
concise reports of the conclusions reached
when these reports are up for discussion in
their Grange. The most important and
most interesting question being that of
taxation, the first topic we suggest for dis-
cussion is this:

“Are the present tax laws just and fair?”

Second,

“Are they complied with 2*"

VI-Ie suggest that Subordinate Granges
begin the discussion of these topics at an
early date. Let us have this matter of
taxation thoroughly sifted during the fall.

Co—operation for Farmers.

The following paper was prepared and read by Albert
Deyo before the Lenawee County Pomona Grange at.
Fruit Ridge. and at request of the Grange was sent tothe
GRANGE \'isi'rou for publication.

It hardly seems necessary at this time to
at-tenipt to present any new arguments to
establish the importance, nay, the necessity
of organization and co-operation in all en-
terprises which have for their object the
social, educational or material interests of
mankind. \\'hile this has been recognized
to a limited extent in past ages, but in no
period of history have these principles
been found of so great value, and so iiiiiver-
sally adopted as at tliepresenttiiiie. In the
past when ignorance and superstition pre-
vailed and men were distrustful of each other
and for lack of any feeling of sympathy or
confidence existing, men dared not organ-
ize even for mutual protection. But as
ignorance and superstition receded before
the advance of intelligence and a better
civilization, the principles of co—operation
took a. deeper root in the minds of the bet-
ter classes, and they found its practical ap-
plication to be of great advantage for mu-
tual protection and personal gain. By a
concentration of effort and energy results
can be reached that never could be by in-
dividual efl'ort.

OTHER i.i.\'F.s (‘O—OPl-IRATE.

It is not strange then that in a country
which stands at the head of the civilized
nations of the world in intelligence and
progress, it is not strange to say that co-

, operations should be so uiiiversally adopted

and co-operative L‘I1l9l’1)l‘l.~‘(,‘.~‘ should be
iiiultiplied on ever_v lI&IIl(l. So (-xt(-iisively
have these principles of co-opci'atioii and

lint organizatioii witliout sysfeiiiatic
work will avail but little. Our woi'tli_v
State iVlastci' I uiidcrstand has been instru-
mental in organizing recentl_v a number
of new (iri'aiiges in this county. \\'hcn
this is done, but the first step is taken to-
ward the accoinplishinent of lasting results.
Then only the foundation is laid upon
which to build, and the structiire erected,
and the aIIl0l1l1t-Of good accomplished, de-
pends upon the amount of work done.
The farmers of this county have failed to
keep step with the progress of otlierclasses
of industry, and it is time they awoke to
the necessity of more thorough, efficient,
combined action, which if not accoiiiplislied
they will be left behind in the race of life.

THE I“ARl\II'1I{l'.\‘ GREATEST NEEI).

What farmers most need at the present
time is a better understanding of such eco-
nomic and political questions as relate to
their material interest, and a disposition
to unite with others of the same class to

ut this knowledge into practical use.

Vhile many cooperative efforts have been
made among farmers, only a few have been
successful owing to ii want of unity of ac-
tion and that stick-to-a—tive-ness so essen-
tial for the accomplishment of a purpose.
I am well aware that this is a. broad and
and almost limitless field for operation and
will require much time and patience to ac-

complish pernianent results, but I believe‘

that through the Grange organization the
seed is being sown that will ultimately
produce aiharvest that will be widespread

and beneficial to the agricultural interests.
In communities where the influence of this
organization has been felt, the morals have
been elevated, social refinement has been
advanced. reckless habits and customs have
been changed, systems improved, and the
general condition of the people made bet-
ter. In coininercial lines the siiccess: of
co—operative efforts: under intelligent direc-
tion, is giving courage to the great uiass:
of faruiers who are laboring under financial
dilficulties. and with courage will come the
conviction that organization and co-opera-
tive effort is the oi1l_y hope for the Ameri-
can farmer.
<'o-orEnAT1o.\‘ 1.\‘ l'ol.lTI<'s'.

There is another pliasie of co-operation
to which I wish briefly to allude, and one
which I deem of much iiuportancc to the
future pros:pei'ity and independence of the
farmers of this country. I mean co—oper—
ation in politics. not ina partisan sense, but
in a law-making sense. which will enable
farmers to have some influence in shaping
and controlling legislation so as to iuodify
or repeal such laws as operate
against their material interests. and by the
enactiueiit of such laws as will afford
farmers at least equal protection with other
business intc1'ests. I am not :l.'s'l(lll,\_" for

class legislation in our favor. but I insist
that no class or special legislation shall be
enacted that iiiilitates against us. I am
criticising no one but the farniers them-
’ selves in this matter.

i‘A1:.u1:iis 1.1sri:.\' 1:1) TO.

I am no chronic fault finder. I well
know that within the last few years: in
,‘ both our state and national legislative halls
‘the demands of the farmers: have been
heeded. and beneficial enactments have
gone upon the books. but this has been
brought about by pcrsistciit and deterinined
effort and is further evidence of what co-
: operation and organization will accoiiiplisli.
,I have heard the Master of the National
I (irange tell his experience when first ap-
pointed by that body as legislative coin-
inittce to go before the proper coiiiiuittec
of the national congresrs: to ask at their
hands for the en:1ctuieiit of a certain law
looking to the protection or advancement
of agricultural interests. \\'hen he first

, appeared before the coiiuiiittee it was only
I by persisteiit effort that he was enabled to
obtain a licaring, but today when his tower-

, ing form oflifeet -l. lineal iuezisure. and 2:25
4 pounds avoirdupois. enters that coiuiiiittcc
 room he is received and treated with that
I respect to which he is entitled as the rep-

resentative of a great national interest.
But what we have accomplished in this
direction has been done through the influ-
ence of 0111' organization: andwhat I insist
upon is a broader. wider field foroperatioii
in this direction. I saida nioiuent ago
that we .want co-operatioii in politics. aiid
that o11r interests shall have a fair and
equitable representation in the legislative
halls. Farniers are so strongly heuimed
In by p:11'ty lines. or have blindl_v followed
the mandates of party lca<lc1's. who have
fostered their prejudices and secured their
votes to place in power or continue in
power men who have only selfisli regard
for the ag1'ic1iltui'al intercstsof the couiitry.

NU l-'.-\R.\ll'Zl\'.\. I‘.-\I{TY .\il~Il-II)l-ll).

I do not deem it wise or neccs'sarv to in-
stitute a farmers‘ part_v: but I do deem it
of the utmost importance for the farniers
to unite their forces whenever it becoiues
necessai'y for the enactment of wise and
_]udicious laws for the protection of our
_common interests. \\'c are now appro:1cli-
mg a political cam iaign in this state as
well as nation in wliich we are about to
nominate and elect the county and legis-
, lative as well as the e.\'ecutive power for :1
l term of years.

THE DUTY OF EACH FARMER.

The farmers of this state have the power
’ vested in them by co—operatioii to influence
, and shape to almost any extent they ii1:i_v
desire. good and wholesome legislation
, looking to the general good of all. I think
: it a reproacli upon the intelligence and
. busiiiess nianagenient of farnicrs that they
I do not insist upon being betterrepresented
~ in the law-making halls of this country.
I \Vhat proportion of the fariiiers of this
5 coiuuiunity or of this township attend the
caiicuses where nominations are made. or
- where delegates are selected to represent
you in state. district or county convention!
_, There is the place to put your work to ad-
‘ vantage and to make your powers felt by
_ delegating your riglits only to those who will
» represent your wislics in the noniinatiiig
. coiiventioiis. These primary iueetiiigs are
l of the utinost importance. and when you
‘ are neglecting thciu. you are selling your
' birthright for less than a iuess of pottagc."
‘ l{eferriu<_-' again tothetcxt, co—ope1‘atiou.
1 I have in conclusion to say. that the sub-
, icct in its difl'erent phases is :1 fertile and
~ exl1:111stless one. and at the ])l‘(*:~‘t‘lll time
 inteuscly interesting to the .\mericau
I‘ farmer. and in connection with the (,ira11gc
l of the utmost importance.

Agricultural Education in the‘
Public Schools. l

Industrial schools are becoming
quite a feature of the public school
system in all our large cities.
Boys are taught the use of tools in I
a practical manner and girls to
cook and bake and sew, There is
a disposition on the pait of somcl
ta.\'paycrs to regard these dcpa1't- f
ments of the public system as :ll
fad. Perhaps in some cases tlicy;
are. There is. ncverllicles-s.a11 un-"
iiiistakablc tciidency towards <_v'iv-
ing in the public schools something
that will fit and ipialify the >('llUl:tl'.
in a practicxil way for the duties
of life beyond the three ltis that in
former days was the sum of all
coiuiuon school education. namely:
reading, ’riting and 'ritl1metic. It
is passing strange that there should .
be but little in public schools con—
cerning the problem of tra1ispor-
tation. and the problem of farm‘
life. \\'e do not mean by this that
the more difficult problems which
the farmer has to solve should be,
taught to the pupil. Ilis mind is;
too ininiature as yet for the task *
of solving most of these problems. "
and his education too limited toi
coinpreliend them. It does seem
to us, however. that there should“
be a line of teaching in the public ‘
schools that will inculcate a love;
of fa1'111 life. as well as a knowledgcj
of the thoiisands of valuable f:1ct<l
which he should compreliend. 
How many scholars and how nianyi
teachers. for that matter. know thcl
nuniberiof varieties of trees thatl
grow within the township or the
sub-district? How many know;
the names of the grasses that grow 
in the fields, or the weeds that;
grow in the school house _vard ('
“Ihat knowledge does the st11denti~
obtain of insect life. or bird life, of,’
the habit of plants and animals.:
and what beginning has he made"
when he is too big to go to school
in the acquisition of that whole
wonderland of knowledge that lies
within the comprehension of the
man who lives on the farm and
keeps his eyes open. Ilow many
pupils in the public schools, or.
for that matter, how many teachers
know anything of the mysteries of
the bee hive; the queen, the drones,
the workers, the way the comb is
made, the propolis, etc., etc. On
visiting in Scotland some years ago
we dropped into the University of
Edinburgh, and we there found a
class of forty or fifty teachers in
public schools going through a
course of instruction that would
fit them for teaching the elemen-
tary principles of ag1'ici1lt11i‘e to
the pupils. England and beotland
are far behind us in the matter of
common school education, England
having only within the ‘last four
years adopted the public school
system. but in the matter of edu-
cating the children of farmers in
the lines of their work, or rather
in those elementary principles that

E are necessary for the conducting of
their work, Scotland, at least, is
far ahead of us. VVe simply sug-
gest this as worth thinking over;
something which it would be well
for the farmer to turn in his mind
as he turns his fall furrows; sonic-
thing that may well be talked
about at the fireside and at the
meetings of school d1rectors.—

BABY CARRIAGES

And the reason Why We can offer
these carriages for less money than
any Jobbing House on the market is
simply this‘

We do not make a grand and expensive
store display, and therefore save high rent
and clerk hire.

Our customers get the benefit of this di-
rectly in the prices We quote. Our rnethod
is to sell direct to the consumer from the
manufacturer Vvith as little handling as
possible, so that the prices we offer are the
direct wholesale prices.

Vve desire to call the attention of our
customers particularly to the descriptions
of these carriages as cornparecl -with those
of our competitors—

That where they use Silesia upholstering WE
use CRETONNE;

That where they use Cretonne upholstering
WE use AMERICAN DAMASK:

That where they use Damask upholstering
WE use SILK PLUSH;

And instead of the Silesia Parasol used
by others WE furnish SATEEN, with either
lace edge or ruffle, and in addition to the
above advantages each of our carriages is
furnished with a TINNED IRON BRAKE,
which prevents it from blowing or running
away when left alone.

Read the above carefully, and note
our Descriptions and Prices.

The Cow Pea.

Bulletin Louisiana Experixnent Station.

1st. The origin of the cow pea
was doubtless India. where today
many related species are grown.

211. All the varieties of the cow
pea now cultivated in the L'nited
States, are believed to have origin-
ated from one ancestor “Vigna
sineii.-ris," and that the numerous
.so—callcd varieties can be greatly
i'educed in miniber.

2-Id. The best varieties of pens
for vines and green manuring are
the l'nknown, Black, ('la_v. lied.
etc.. while the strictly bunch vai'i-
eties, \\'hippoorwill. lilue, lil:u'k-
Eye. etc., give larger returns in
peas.

4th. The coinposition of peas
and pea vine hay (‘Xllll)ll.\ large
feeding valiies, as well as liigli
fertilizing properties.

fith. (fow pea vines can be con-
verted into hay or preserved as
silage. both of which have provcii
by repeated e.vpcriinents to be
palatable and nutritious food for
farm stock.

6th. The cow pea occupies the
front rank aniong the le<_r1nninous
plants :is a soil restorer. enjoying
lar_}el_v the common property of
this family of utilizing the free
nitrogen of the air: an avera;_-‘e pea
crop accuinulatingover JHH pounds
of nitroj_rcn per acre.

Tth. .-\ rotation of crops is i111-
perativclydcniaiided b_v scientific
agriculture. and any system of ro-

t.1tion in the south \\llltll omits lllt ,l,,u.t,L._\. q,,.,,,.U_\. ,,m,,.(,\tL_q mp“ Hp,

Nth. A thrccyears‘ rotation with
five crops. two of which are cow
peas especially with appi'opi'i:ite
fertilizer for c.-ich crop. has been
found most cllcctivc in buildin,-_r up
worn scils.

‘Jth. The proper disposition to
lll:il\'(‘ of pea \incs is to convert in-

to hay or .~ilaj_-‘e and feed to stocl\'.;

(‘:ll'\‘flill_\' l't.'lill‘lllllf_" the manure
tlicrefi’om to the soil. The <li_<_rcs-
liveco-célicicnts of peas and pea
vine liay are liigli. In the absence
of stock to consimic the hay. the
vines should be turned under.

lllth. The proper time toturn
under vines will depend lai‘gcl_v on
soil and e.\’igencies of the farmer.
True economy would dictate the
turnin_«_-* under in the early fall. and
the sowing of the ground later in
some winter crop, small grain

to be buried if a spring crop be de-
sired. (it must be rcnienibered

Digestibility of En
liizllotin Illinois Experiniciit Stzition.

The coniposition of cow pea en-
sil.-igc corresponds very closely to
that of clover hay. the liiost im-
portant. difference. being in the
higher percentage of fat found in
the clover, but the digestibility of
the cow pea ensilage is so much
greater that it furnishes an equal
amount of fat and mncli more
protein and total energy than the
clover hay.

Soja bean ensilage reseinbles
clover hay both in composition and
digestibility. It furnishes an equal
amount of protein, more fat. but
less total energy than clover hay.

lioth these leguminous forage
plants draw upon the free nitrogen
of the airin an indirect way for a
pa1't of their food supply: their
composition shows a high percent-
age of nitrogen; and they have
great value for improving the soil.

Corn—fodder and corn ensilage
have about the same digestibility
for total dry matter and furnish
nearly equal amounts of energy.
The fodder furnishes more digest-
ible carbohydrate extract, but the
ensilage slightly more of the other
nutrients. _

As compared with cow peas and
soja beans, the corn—fodder and
corn ensilage have a much higher
value for energy or fat production,
but the cow pea ensilage and soja
bean ensilage are far more valuable
for animal growth or the produc-
tion of milk.

Suggestions on the Building and
Equipment of Butter
Factories.

So many localities are contem-
plating butter factories that we
believed it would be of value if we
published the following from a
bulletin of the Utah Experiment
Station.

The first point to be considered

ll’

lis the number of cow.‘s:. It is a
‘question whether a factory can be
siicccssfiilly operated with less than
gthc milk from :1: to to 41111 cows:
therefore. in any localit_v where the
erection of a factory isconteniplat-
ed. a thorough canvass of the dis-
trict for four or live miles around
should be made. and the milk from
at sufficient number of cows glint‘-
,antced. If the cows iicccssai'_\' are
not to be found it would be better
,to drop the project.
If the required number of cows
-is secured. the next question is or-
ganization. The factor_v may be
organized as a private enterprise.
bi':1sa Joint Stock Company. or a
Co-operative .\s;s_ociatioii. As to
j which of these is best in any par-
-ticlll:il' locality will depend upon
[tliose l'l:lll(lllllL‘ the bu.siiu.-ss and
‘the people who supply the milk.
A (‘o-operative .-\..ssociatioii will be

filing the best terms on material,-

;etc.. for buildin_-._r' and equipment.
-‘ After the factory is started, live
I cents from each one hundred pounds
;of milk delivered to the factory is
l withheld to form a si'nkin}_v' fund to
1‘ pay off the borrowed money. The
l bylaws should provide that the
directors shall apply this iiione_v as
fast as accumulated to the payment
of the debt. On this plan, a fac-
tory handling lo_ooo pounds of
milk a day, on the average. would
put by  a day, and thus require
only from a year to a year and a
half to pay off the loan.

In selecting a site for a factory
the following points should be ob-
served.

1. The site should be one easily
drained.

‘2. In should have an ab11n(lant
supply of [/(//’c, cool. water.

3. It should, as far  possible,
be easy of access by good roads.

These points are so self evident
that comment is scarcely necessary.
In a low, damp situation it is
scarcely possible to keep the sur-
roundings of the factory clean,‘ and
there is always a large amount of
waste water from a factory, which
should be easily and rapidly drained
away. Abundance of pure, cool
water is always needed, in fact, a
dairy cannot be successfully and
profitably run without it.

The plan and arrangement of a
factory will depend very largely
upon its location and the quantity
of milk to be handled. \Vhether
a cheese or butter factory’, or a
combination of these is desired,
will also affect the plan. This
point should receive careful study,
as very much work may be saved
by having a convenient arrange-
ment of the factory and apparatus.
Another point to be considered is
to have the building planned to ac-
commodate standard size apparatus.

‘in a large factory. it may be best
-to have the milk-receiving vat on a
‘platforin, the apparatus and cream
;vat on another level three feet low-
er. and the churn and butter work-
er on a yet lower level. By this
plan the milk or cream runs to the
places where it is required and
saves lifting. In a small factory
where one or two men are cin-
ploycd. this plan gives too much
running up and down stairs. and it
is probalily better to have all the
apparatus on one level: the milk
for separating may be raised to the
heater by a pump. and the (‘l'(3£llll

decid-

liiig species are abundant, but it
fwill not always be the case. It is
’mo1'c common in June than at other
seasoiis of the year, simply because
ithc variety of bacteria is greater
lat this time and hence the greater
; likelihood that some species which
‘(produce the proper aroma and

lalso some of the desirable species
[are especially abundant in the
lgrcen food of cows in J une.

5 .3. If cream be inoculated with a
l large culture of some particular
l - 1 o n u -
ylillltl of bacteria, this species will
frequently develop so rapidly as to
check the growth of the other bac-
teria present and thus perhaps pre-
vent them from producing their
natural effects. Hence it will fol-
low that the use of starters will
commonly give rise to favorable
results even though the cream is
already somewhat largely impreg-
nated with other species of bac-
teria be fore the inoculation with
the artificial starter. This fact
lies at the basis of the use of arti-
ficial starters either with or with-
out pasteurization. T o produce
the desirable result it is necessary
to have the starter contain a large
abundance of some favorable species
which by its growth can both
check the development of the or-
dinary cream bacteria and can de-
velop a proper flavor by itself.

A Money Making Woman.

I have succeeded so Well in the past
few weeks that I think it my duty to
thank you for it. I read in your paper
of the Centrifugal Ice Cream Freezer,
and what a good thing it was to sell,
and I find it better than represented,
as 1 can freeze cream perfectly in less
than one minute. I never make less
than $5 a day and often twice that. and
I consider that very good wages for a
woman. Write to W. H. Baird &. C0,,
Station A, Pittsburg, Pa... and they will
start you in the freezer business, and I
believe anyone can pay for a sample
freezer the first evening selling cream.
and any lady or gentleman can make
money in this business anywhere.

If Napoleon Had Invade-d England?
It is also pertinent to inquire what
would have happened had Napoleon
been successful in landing an army on
English shores. In the first place. his
mastery of the seas would have been
quickly ended by the combineil efforts
of the Englisli war vessels then afloat,
and he would have la-en left without
base of supplies or (‘.1ililllllllilvtltlnll.
the second place he would lnive met a
resistance from a proud, frcc, enlight-
ened and desperate people which would
have piiralyzcd all his tactics and would
have worn out any army he could have
kept together. Did Napoleon fail to un-
derstand this? (if course not. He had
said before that an iii'in_v which czumot
- be re-,:ularl_v recruited is 21 doonicd army.
He had >'(‘t‘ll rliis theory verified in

A Chance to Make Money.

I read a few weeks ago how one of your sub-
scribers made money selling Pancake Griddles.
I ordered one, tried it, and it did the work beau-
tifully. My lady friends came in, saw it, and
were charmed, as they all hate the old way of
baking pancakes and they mostly do all their
own cooking. My brother suggested that we
start in the business. We did so and have never
made less than $10 per day above all expenses.
Our sales so far have been made close to home
and our business is increasing right along. and
we are going to stick to it until we have paid off
the mortgage on our farm.

We sell from 15 to 20 griddles every day, and
some days more. The griddle is lovely and
every housekeeper wants one. Get a sample
griddle, show it to your friends, and you are
sure to make money. No excuse for any one to
be poor when money can be made so easy: as it
is selling ancake griddles. For full particulars

CHAPTER XXV.
THI-: .\ii~:i~:'ri.\'G.

Arnold IVilloiigliby arrived at Kathleen
Hesslegmies door in a tremor of delight,
exeitenieiit and ecstzi: . During all those
long months that be had been parted from
her be had loved her with his whole soul——
loved the nicniory of the girl he had once
believed her—even tlioiigli that girl, as he
fancied, never re.-ally existed. And now
that her letter to ltufus Blortimer had once
more reinstated her lIllzl_L(t: in his mind as
he first imagined her his love canie back to
him with a rush even more vividly than
ever. For had he not now in her own very
handwriting the assurance that she loved
him—tlie assiiraiice that she was his, be he
preseiit or absent?

He could approach her at lust. without
any doubts on that subject. He could he
sure of her answering love, her real affec-
tion for himself, whatever might be the ex— .
plaiiution of those strange 9.\‘pl‘eSSlOI]S)II‘s‘. ;
Hesslegrave had attributed to her that alt-
ernoon in Venice.

He mounted the stairs in ll. fever of joy
and suppressed expectation. Kathleen sat
in her little drawing room vruiting anx-
iously for the promised second telegram
from Rufus Mortimer. A knock at the
outer portal of the flat aroused her. all
tremulous. Could that be the telegraph
boy? She held her room door half ujar and
listened for the voice. \Vl.ien it came, it
sent a thrill of surprise, delight and terror
down her spine like a cold wave. “Is Miss
Hésslegrave in?” it said, but the toue——the
tone was surely Arnold VVilloughby’s.

“Miss Hesslegrave is engaged this after-
noon, sir, and can’t see anybody," the maid
answered demurely. For Kiitlileen felt too ‘
agitated, with hope and suspense, for re-
ceiving visitors.

“I think she'll see me,” Arnold replied,
with a. confident smile, and while the girl
still hesitated Ka.tbleen‘s own voice broke
out from within in very clear tones, “Let.
the gentleman come in, .\.Iury.”

At the sound of her voice a strange thrill
passed through Arnold \Villoughby in turn.
He rushed along the passage and burstinto
the sitting room. There stood Kathleen,
pale and panting, with one hand on a chair
and one on her throbbing heart, much
thinner and whiter than he had known her
of o1d—mucb thinner and whiter, but not
one Whit less beautiful. In that first tu-
mult of wild delight at his love restored
Arnold \Villougl1by darted forward, and
for the first time in his life would have
clasped her in his arms and kissed her as
she stood there. But Kathleen, looking
hard at him and recognizing in asecond
howill and wasted he was, with his Ilmimed
arm hanging loose by his side in its help-
lessness, yet. wzived him back from her at
once with an imperious gesture.

“No, no,” she said proudly, conquering
her love with an effort, “not now, not now,
Arnold. Once I would have let you if you
wished. And still, even todayfoh. my
heart, my poor heart!-——I could willingly let
you if it were not for that barrier. But
the barrier is there even now, and until
you understand everything — until you
know I was never what. you have thought
me so long—I can’t. possibly allow you. I
don’t want you to trust me. I don't want
you to believe me. I want you to know-
to know and understand. I want You to

Arnold gazed at Ill‘I' and melted with
sliiinie and reinor.-e. Her passion overcame
liini. Ilow could he ever for one moment
have (IOLll)l,l‘lI that pure, that quer.-iily soul?

“You thought I knew from the first who
you were?“ Kathleen hi-gun, drawing breath
and facing him boldly.

“I thought you believed from the. first I
was Lonl .-\xminster," Arnold ziiiswered
quite frankly, but still refusing to commit
himself. “and I thought it was through
that belief alone that you first permitted a.
common sailor to win his way us far as he
did, if he did, into your affections. But,
Kathleen, I won't think so now. If you
tell me you didn’t, I'll believe you at once,
and if you tell me you did, but that you
loved me for myself, though you took me
for ten thousand times over an earl, oh,
Kathleen. I will believe youl I will believe
you and love you with all my heart. and
soul, if only you'll allow me.”

It was a. great deal for Arnold VVillough-
by, with his past behind him, to say, but it
wasn’t enough for Kathleen. She was still
unsatisfied. She stood before him, trem-
bling and quivering all over with love, yet
just waving him back with one imperious
hand when he strove to draw nearer to her.
"No, no,” she answered. holding him off
with her queenly gesture. “That’s not
what. I want. I want plainly to clear my-

self. I want you to know, to be sure and
certain beyond the shadow of a doubt, I
was not what you took me for. I want you
to understand the whole real truth. I
want. you to see for yourself what I thought
of you first. I want you to see when I be-
gan to love you—for I did love you, Ar-
nold, and I do love you st.ill—and how and
when I first discovered your real name and
personality.”

She moved across the room from where
she stood to a. desk in the corner. “Read
this,” she said simply, taking out a diary
and handing it to him. “Begin there, on
the day I first met. you in London. Then
turn on to these pages, where I put this
mark, and read straight through till you
come to the end, when you went away from
Ve.nice——t.he end of everything for me till
you came again this evening.”

It was no time for protestations. Arnold
saw she was in earnest. He took the book
and read. Meanwhile Kathleen sank into
an easy chair opposite and watched his face
eagerly as be turned over the pages.

He read on and on in a fever of delight.
He read how she had come upon him in
Venice in Mortinier's gondola. He read
how she had begun to like him in spite of
doubts and hesitations; how she had won-
dered wbetlier a. lady ought to let herself
grow so fond of a man so fa.r.benea.th her
in rank and station; how she had stifled her
doubts by saying to herself be had genius
and refinement and a poet’s nature; he was
a gentleman, after all, a true gentleman at
heart. iii. gentleman of the truest in feelings
and manners. Then he saw how the evi-
dances of her liking grew thicker and thick-

haps to Sl‘i?‘[)l'l<(‘ me. and it rri;i_v grieve him
that I sliould have learned it, like this pre-

misery it was to bring upon me."

“Kathleen,” the youngninii cried implor-
ingly. “I IllllSiv—I must this time!” And be
stretched his iirins out to her.

“I\'o," Katlileen cried. waviiig him back,
but fliisliiiig ro:<_v red, “I am not yet. ill)-
solved. You Y‘llll.'~"(i reiid to the very end.
You must know the whole truth of it.”

Agaiii Arnold read on, for Kathleen lizid
written at great length the history of that
tlay—that. terrible day—niucl_i blotted with
tears, on the pages of her diary, when the
C3.Zli)Il went away and her mother “spoiled
all’ with Ariiold ‘Vlll0ll_'._’l1l)y. \\'lien he
came to that liearthrokeii cry of a wound-
ed spirit, Arnold rose from his place: he
could contain himself no longer. VVith
tears in his eyes, he sprniig toward her
eagerly. This time at last Kathleen did
not prevent him. “Am I ali:-tolved?" she
murmured low as he cniiglit herin his arms
and kissetl her.

And Arnold, clasping her tight. iiizide zin-
swer through his tears: “My darling, my
darling. i't‘.~i I, not you. who Stttllll in need
of absoliition. I have (-rut-ll_v wronged you.
I can never forgive iiiyself for it."

“But. I can for;.:ive you,” Kathleen mur-
mured, nestling close to him.

For soiiie iiiiniites they sat there, hand in
hand, supremely happy. They had no need
for words in that more eloquent silence.
Then Arnold spoke again, very sadly, with
a. suddeii reminder of all that had happen-
ed ineaiiwliile.
I ought never to have spoken to you. This
is only to t'.‘l.>&(’ our souls. Things are still
where they were for every other purpose.
My darling. how ani I to tell you of it? I
can never marry you now. I have only just

Kathleen held his hand in hers still. ‘
“Why so, dear?" she asked, too serenely ‘
joyous now HIS is a woman’s wont) at her 1:
love recovered to trouble her mind much ,

about such enigmatic sayings.

“Becaiise,” Arnold cried, “I have nothing =
to marry you with, and this niairned hanti '
——it was crushed in an ici-berg accident this V

summer; I‘ll tell you all about it by mid

me to earn ti livelihood.

Oh, Kntbleeii, if I ‘

hadn’t been carried away by my feelings, 1
and by what that dear, good fellow .\Iorti- ‘
uier told me-—he showed me your letter-——I ,

would never have come back like this to

see you without some previousexplanation. ‘

Ifivould have written to tell you beforeliund 1

how hopeless it all was, how helpless a
creature ivas. coining home to cl.-3im you."

“Then I’ni glad they did carry you away,”
Kathleen answered, smiling, “for I'd ten
thousand times rather see you yourself,
Arnold, now everything’s cleared up, than
any number of letters.”

“But everything’s not cleared up; that’s
the worst of it-,” Arnold aiiswered some-
what. gloomily, “at least as far as I‘m con-
cerned,” he went on in haste, for he saw a.
dark shadow pass over Kathi:-en"s sweet
face. “I mean, I am afraid I am mislead
lug you myself now. You think, dear
Kathleen, the man who has come home to
you is an English peer. Practically and
financially he’s nothing of the sort. Hes
a sailor at best, or not even a sailor, but
the merest bare wreck of one. Here, 8. sheer
hulk, stands Arnold VVillougbby.

“You probably imagine I got rid of my
position and masqueraded in seaman’s
clothes out of pure, pure fun, only just to
try you. I did nothing of the sort, my
darling. I renounced my birthright, once
and forevenpartly on conscientious grounds
and partly on grounds of personal dignity.
I may have done right; I may have done
wrong, but at any rate all tba.t’s long since
irrevocable. It's passed and gone now and
can never be reconsidered. It’s a closed
chapter. I was once an earl. I am an earl
no longer. The man who asks you—who
dare hardly ask you——for your love today

Rented Violins.

Violins are re-iitt-d for varying periods,
perhaps for a week, to a visitor in the
city. They are often rented by the
mouth, like pianos The bulkier ‘cello
and the double bass are sometimes rent-
ed for single occasions, for concerts in
private houses. The instrument is de-
livered and taken away, the player pre-
ferring to hire an in.-‘trunient rather than
to carry or to zittend to the czirrying of
his own.—New York Sun.

dress myself. except with assistance. and
could only hnlihle about by using a cane. I
had no appetite. and was assured, by the
doctors,th:1t I could not live. The pains, at
times, were so awful. that I could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic injec-
tions ot morphine. I lizid my linihs bziiidaged
in clay, in sulphur, iii pnnltices; but these
gave only temporary I't'llt'l. After trying
everything, and siifieriiig the most awful

Inside of two months, I was able to walk
without a. cane. In three months. my limbs
