For the cure of the Inflammation and
congestion, called "a cold in the head" |"
there is more potency in Ely's Cream
Balm than in anything else it is possible
to prescribe; this preparation has for
years past been making a brilliant sue
cess as a remedy for cold in the head,
catarrh and hay fever; used in the initial
stages of these complaints Cream Ealm
prevents any serious development of the
symptoms, while almost numberless cases
are on record of radical cures of chronic
catarrh, after all other modes of treat

HIGH PRICED LAND FOR SHEER.

| HIGH PRICED LAND FOR SHEEP.
National Stockman.
The statement is often made by those
who ought to know what they are talk
ing about that such and such lands are
too high priced to allow the successful
prosecution of the sheep industry on
them. We do not take any stock in
claims of this kind. Where lands are
cheap enough to allow stock-ra1sing of
any kind, or even agricultural operations
of whatever variety, there is room for
something to be done with the flock. 1t
is not feasible perhaps to grow wool as
a main product on the highest priced
lands, but the production of lambs for
market or high-priced mutton is just as
likely to pay the owner of costly lands
as anything else in which he can engage
The quick returns from an investment
of this kind render it quite safe and
very attractive to an energetic man.
Anything done on land of high value
must be well done if it pays at all, and
of course slovenly flock management in
a position of this kind will not do at all.
HOW AND WHEN TO HARVEST POTATOES.
Mr.. T.B. Terry, the well known North
ern Ohio farmer, in his manual on pota-
to culture, has some useful suggestions
concerning the harvesting and care of
the potato crop. Mr.. Terry begins to
dig as soon as the potatoes are ripe;
earlier if there is demand for them.
When harvested and stored early he lets
the potatoes stand out over night in the
boxes or on the load and get perfectly
cool. Then he stores early in the morn
ing. Many farmers keep potatoes
through the winter in piles In the field, |
covered with straw and earth. Mr.. Ter
ry prefers selling his crop in the fall
rather than running this risk. He oft |
en- stores in the field temporarily, in |
which case he puts about fifty bushels in |
a pile. His plan for long storage is
placing the tnbers in cellar with a |
floor built especially for the purpose.
This floor is placed two or three inches |
from the cellar bottom, and is provided |
with ventilators from this air space |
up through the tubers. On such a
floor potatoes may be stored six feet
deep without trouble. Where only |
a few tubers are to be stored these |
may be kept in barrels, boxes or bins;
but even then let the packages be kept |
up off from the cellar bottom, so the air |
can circulate under them. The cellar
must of course be kept quite dark and
at low, even temperature. Where large
quantities are stored it will pay to regu-
