Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.


Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a m@n so overlows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich.
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scrption which will cure them of any
| form of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
| the organs to natural size and vlgOr. As
/ it costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply Interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
! live an existence of untold misery. AS
! the remedy in question was the result OF
many years research as to what comb
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring TO men the strength they need,
/ ii would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought TO
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to Fl. G. Odds, Box 1922. Kala-
mazoO, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
! idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
cap afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
| write him. -#

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

If person will once manure an or
chard, he will become SO interested that
pruning and spraying when needed will
be almost sure to follow.
Have you sick young tree in the
orchard? Grub it out and plant a new
one that is healthy. Fall is good time
for that, for if you do not get the job
done now it won't get done at all.
If the black knot appears on the plum
tree, it can often be effectually checked
by saving off the knot and painting the
wound with linseed oil, to which little
carbolic acid is added and enough oxide
of iron to give it color.
This is the season of the year when
the farmers wife is happy. The rush of
the harvest is over and she can take =
little leisure. The anxiety about some
thing to cook has also ceased, as she has
plenty at hand; life ripples much more
pleasantly than earlier before crops
were garnered and vegetables matured.
Grapes can be grown almost any
where, and every farm, garden and viz
lage lot should have its vines. Perfec-
ton requires high, well-drained, strong
soil, we'll fed. Let the trellises run
north and south, and be open to the
sun. Currants and gooseberries can
be grown between the rows if land is
scarce.-Rural World.

A SIMPLE HOTBED.

and cover during cold nights. The
frame is left open all day unless the
weather is too severe; but during the
cold days and nights it should have
some extra covering and during the Sc.
we're weather may remain covered a
week at time. The greatest care is
then needed, for, if the sun is very
warm, they need constant ventilation
during the day to prevent them from
burning. Thus arranged, they should
thrive with all outside climate of from
10 to Is degrees below zero. A hotbed
is made with the same frame, but with
different filling. If used for spring
plants, vegetables, the very best of fine
mold should be secured this fall and in
late February operations begun. Fill!
to depth of two feet with fine loose
manure we'll tramped in, stirring it
occasionally and adding a little water
if it does not heat. In about a week,
when the temperature begins to 20
down below 100 degrees, put in about
six inches of light soil and if necessary
mix in a little sand. Then plant the
seed and keep the temperature as near
to Is or 80 degrees as possible. Water
only when the surface becomes dry, but
pay constant attention to the airing
and mperature.-Alvin Sanders, in

Solid Elements I'm Milk.

Many persona are surprised to learn
that milk, which is liquid, has a larger
proportion of solid elements than have
many articles of food. Milk averages
Is per cent. of solid matter, of which
q considerable part is albumen. It is
this which coagulates with heat, and
still more when rennet is used. Pota-
toes are 80 per cent. moisture, though
when it is cooked the starch in it ex-
pands. making it seem much heartier
food than it is. The solid of the potato
is mainly starch. That of milk is di-
vided between caseine, butter fats and
sugar, the last of which is found in
whey, which, even though it be soured,
shows by that fact that it has some
sugar in it.

A Depth of Twelve Inches Makes an
Excellent Roadbed.
Many so-called macadam roads con-
,sist of few inches of broken stone laid
on the surface of the ground without
any provision for preventing the stone
from spreading under the pressure of
loads. There should be made trench
of the width and depth intended for the
road-bed. For light traffic, six inches
of stone on good foundation will an
swer, but for heavy traffic this is not
sufficient. The pressure of load pass
ing over a compact road spreads out
through the body beneath in cone-like
form, the apex being at the load on the
surface. With depth of but six inches,
the weight at the bottom will be
spread out over SO square inches; if it
is nine inches deep, the weight on the
foundation will be spread over 81
square inches, and if IL inches deep. it
spreads over IA square inches. Depth
of road-bed means strength. The area
OF the base sustaining the weight of
the road increases as the square of the
depth. A road IL inches deep is four
times as strong as nne six inches deep.

THE FARMING WORLD.
COWS FOR THE DAIRY.
How They Are Selected Mt the Minne-
sofa Experiment. Station,

How They Are Selected ut the Ninne-
sofa Experiments station.
We must first determine what we
want the animals for, and then select
those which are adapted Tor that par
ticular purpose. At the University we
keep careful account of the cost OF
keeping each COW of the herd, with a
view of determining the cost of a
pound of butter made from the milk of
each COW. The cost varied from eight
to twelve cents pound, some animals
costing so per cent. more than others in
producing a pound of butter. We d.
vided the herd into two classes and
found that the division that cost the
most to produce butter had tendency
to put on flesh more than the others.
In order to be doubly sure that our
conclusions were correct, we made a
second test with the same result. Now,
why was this? I examined the two
classes individually and found that
the spare built COW, with deep body,
was the best dairy cow. In both divi-
sions all breeds of COWS were repre-
scented. What we wanted to find out,
if possible, was how to be able to tell,
without making mistake, the animal
that would make butter the cheapest.
Careful investigation developed the
fact that it took one pound of food to
maintain 100 pounds of animal weight,
so that an animal that weighed 600
pounds would digest 10 pounds of feed
required nine pounds to support herself
and should return the remaining nine
pounds to her owner.
We must feed the COW just what she
needs to maintain and produce the
greatest possible amount of milk, select
her food for her, for if you turn her out
where she has access to straw pile OF
other coarse fodder she will fill hel
stomach with food that she does not
need, and it will occupy the space in the
stomach that should be filled with nu
trin,ent to produce milk. There is an
other thing have noticed, and that is
that in examining Jersey herds W.
find the animals are generally advanced
in age. Large COWS are not as goot
for the dairy, as they have to carry toe
much weight, and it has tendency tt
wear them out and they put on bee!
and break down and wear out.-Prof
Z. L. Hacker, in Farm News.

1T is very easy matter to winter the
most tender towering plants. Most
plants do not grow very rapidly, if at
all, during winter, and as q consequences
do not want high temperature nor
much moisture. All that will be neces-
sary is to keep them from freezing. This
may be done in the following manner:
Dig trench in well-drained spot on
the south side of any building, about
two feet deep, six feet wide and as long
as necessary to contain the plants. It
the trench is to be permanent, wall up
with brick to the top or board tightly.
The south side should extend eight to
ten inches above the ground and the
north side about six inches higher, to
catch the rays of the sun and shed wa
ter. The sash for the top, consisting
of one or more pieces according to the
length, is fastened with hinges on the
north side. All sides should be well
banked up with earth to help keep out
the cold. Fill to the depth of 20 inches
with sawdust or leaves well tramped in
and the bed is ready for the plants.
Place the potted plants in the saw
dust or leaves up to the rim of the pot

Wherever farmer sets himself to the

gladly contract their supplies of but

TREATMENT OF COWS.
Kin dness to Live Stock Pays in More
Wava Than nm0

h1ndness to Live Stock Pays in More
Ways Than One.
The fact that dairy COWS should be
treated kindly and be kept as quiet and
contented as possible has been stated
and re-stated almost times without
number. Its Importance is sufficient to
justify all the attention which it has re-
ceived. Not only this, but the general
truth which such statement contains
has far-wider application. All do
1nestic animals should receive kind
treatment, and should be kept as com.
Portable as possible. Whether the ami
NAL is kept for work, for breeding pur-
poses, for fattening, or for producing
in any other direction, it is certain that
the best results can only be obtained
by treating it kindly. Fear, physical
injury or nervous irritation will certain
ly make the animal less profitable than
it otherwise would be. Perhaps the cow
is more susceptible to injury from
these causes than any of the domestic
animals, but they all, even including
the pig, will certainly show the effects
of harsh treatment. The kind treat
ment of animals was formerly consid-
cred wholly matter of sentiment. and
this side of the matter should stin be re-
garded. Animals should be we'll treated
because it is right and humane to make
them comfortable. But now it is known
that cruelty, or even neglect, not only
affects the animals unfavorab bly,, but
also causes direct financial loss to their
owners. Consequently, kindness to the
live stock can properly be classed under
the head of policy as we'll as under that
of principle. This subject is always
timely, but just now, when so many
cows are coming fresh, and the fatten-
ing season for bullocks is at hand, it
seems worthy of special notice.-Prairie

says writer in Vick's Magazine, is
thoroughly decomposed stable manure.
But chemical fertilizers may be used
two or three years in succession in the

The best plan of fertilizing the flower

amount of manure, then sprinkle. on the.

Painless Falls.

1T wasn't the fall I minded" said
Pat, describing his sensation in falling
from scaffold. "Begorra, could have
gone on travelin' that way forever. It
was the stop at the end that inconveni-
enced me-"
This seems to be the experience of
many who have been precipitated from
a height. While falling they were con-
scious of no pain, no terror, though
perfectly aware of what was transpir-
ing.
Mr.. Whymper, who has perhaps had
more bad falls than any living man.
says that he once fell and rebounded
from rock to rock in the Alps and felt
absolutely no pain, though he heard
himself strike. AS in drowning, the
whole previous life seems to flash
through the mind, and this gives way
by delightful stages to dreamless IN
consciousness.
Among the ancient Norsemen an old
warrior who had had the misfortune not
to fall in battle usually threw himself
from the top of a cliff to gain admit
lance to Valhalla. The pleasant ex-
perience of those who had fallen and
escaped alive may have had something
to do with the practice and belief
