According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5000, 900 little glands
in the human stomach These glands
pour out the digestive juices which dis
solve or digest the food. Indigestion is
want of juice, weakness of glands, need of
help to restore the health of these organs.
The best and most natural help is that
given by Shaker Digestive Cordial Nat
ural because it supplies the materials
needed by the glands to prepare the di-
gestive juices. Because it strengthens
and invigorates the glands and the stom-
ach, until they are able to do their work
alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures
indigestion certainly and permanently
1t does so by natural means, and therein
lies the secret of its wonderful and I'M
varied success.

SUCCESS ON SMALL FARMS.

T. B. Terry, of Hudson, Ohio, who
is notable example of success on small
farms, has given in late numbers of the
Practical Farmer some account of what
three young men are doing on email
farms. The first of the "small far
mers' he quotes from is Pennsylvan-
ian, Mr.. Cocklin, of Bowmansdale,
who writes:
81 believe the greatest mistake we
made in our business was having too
much to do. l now sthink that with
one-half the acres tive have 275) we
could have realized as much or more. y
This is one of the great mistakes that
many make. Gradually lay your plans
so as not to undertake any more than
you can do thoroughly well and on
time, as a rule. We have money in.
vested outside now. All things taken
into account the farm pays best. But
suppose we to,k some of the money
and bought another farm, and tried tc
double our money. Do you think we
would do as well financially as nowi
l do not, and then look at the increase
Of worry. Big CROPS on small farm
pay better than average crops on large
one, or at least they may be made 70,
A good friend from Indiana ones said
Middletown transcript., 1898-01-22

to me. "It is too bad that you should
throw away your time on such little
piece of land. Now l honestly doubt
whether. we should have done as well
ON large farm here, aud | know we
should have had much more worry
and anxiety. Don't you think l am
rigbtpn
The next, Mr.. Frank M. Price, says:
"Wten first began reading what yeu
wrote in Ohio Farmer, brother and 1
were farming 180 acres together. After
thinking much, conclude d that could
get more out of life on smaller place.
So l rented my half farm to brother
and bought nice little place of twenty
six acres near Richmond, Ind. We
have eighteen acres divided into three
strips of six acres each, where we raise
corn, wheat and clover. We keep four
good Jersey cows. We send milk to a
nearby creamery and get back two
thirds of the skinned milk for our
pigs. Our six acres of corn measured
last yeal in the crib 450 bushels. We
are getting along nicely, have time to
read, raise some flowers, keep our yard
nicely trimmed, do our best on our little
place and feel that life is worth living.
Wife and take trip>every year, at
tend the lecture course in Richmond,
and am not thinking of the almighty
dollar. We are laying up some money
each year; are out of debt now."
And referring to this Mr.. Terry
adds: "Now friends, is not this farmer
getting more out of life; is he not bet
ter off than many one who works
himself and family almost to death in
trying to carry on large farm and
keep everything up; who never has
time for a "trip" or to read, or to fix
up the home surroundings? Bu-
twenty-six acres is very small farm.
For some kinds of farming 100 might
be small. No exact rule can be laid
down. Mr.. Price's success comes
from good land and good location,
and then through work and little ex-
pense. I hope this letter will interest
a good many young readers. You do
not need great deal of land in order
to be successful. And don't miss Mr..
Price's idea of what true success is"

Of Interest

PROTECTING STABLE MANURE. Z
For keeping my manure, | have q
shed in one corner of the harm SO sit
uafed that the manure from the stalls
can be pitched directly into it. To
make a considerable quantity of man
ure it is necessary to have plenty of
bedding. For this purpose / use straw
aud forest leaves. It costs but little to
gather the leaves in the fall and store
them in convenient place in the barn.
My method is to make good bedding
Of leaves or straw. Add little each
morning with sprinkling of road dust
or plaster. The stalls are cleaned once
week. To the heap is added the
weekly cleanings of the henhouse and
tile refuse of the premises. AS it is
kept dry, there is no danger of heating
and it is left to accumulate until ready
10 spread in the spring. The dry road
dust and plaster absorb the moisture
and retain the ammonia which would
otherwise be largely lost.
For green manures, I advocate the
sowing of cowpeas in May, to be fol-
lowed by crimson clover from the latter
part of August to middle of Septt mber.
The clover protects the land during the
winter and furnishes an excellent early
spring pasture, after which it can be
turned under for fertilizing purposes.

WAS IT cLEANLY MILKING ?


The statement of Clarence c. Gates
about cleanly milking certainly calls for
some remarks. He speaks of keeping
the filth from the udder out of the pail.
1t is not in the manner of milking that
cleanliness is ensured, but by the per-
pectly clean condition OF the cows
teats. No mixer up to date in his
work would think of milking a COW
whose teais were so unclean that if he
were to strip the COW, as the kind of
milking by finger and thumb is COM
monty known, the filth on the teat
would be scraped off, as Mr.. Gates
says, into the pail. In fact. the eaorm-
ity of this offence against purity is
worthy of punishment by imprison-
ment, for it might easily lead to fatal
sickness of some unfortunate infant
who was fed with this milk. We do
not think Of the calf in milking the
cow, for that is in no way necessary.
The mixer whose wrist is tired, and
milking any COW is hard work for the
sinews Of the wrist, even should the
cow be an easy milker, may very rightly
ease the work by changing the ordinary
milking to stripping, as IL is called,
when the finger and thumb are used as
NJ Gafpe dnacrihna
1t is not at all in the way the COW is
MIXED that clean milking consists, but
10 the proper washing or wiping Of the
cows teats before The milking is begun,
with wet sponge and clean cloth,
never used more than one day without
washing. To recommend any way Of
milking because ''the least dirt falls"
is accusing oneself of uncleanness.
For absolutely no dirt should be left on
cows teats when the mixer sits down
to begin the milking. A good way to
milk short teated COW is to take the
teat between the knuckle of the thumb
and the flst finger, and teat only half
an inch long may be milked in that
way. The quick milking of cow is
done best by taking hold Of the teat by
the whole hand in the usual way, but
right up to the base of the teat. have
MIXED cows every day, except in short
! absences from home At very long inter-
walls, for nearly so years, and never in
all that time tried to milk so that "the
least dirt falls" My good mother
taught me to see that The cows teats
were absolutely clean before teat was
touched to draw the milk. And not
wishing any filth in mine, or in the
butter have sold, | have always taken
care that the teats were so clean that
not the least dirt could possibly fall
into the milk, however the milk was
drawn.

a NATURAL FOOD For HORSES.

The oat is natural food for horses at any
age. 1t has just the kind of nutrition to
make the muscle and bone, and, conjoined
with exercise, these are the basis oi
strength. 1t is especially important that
the colt begin to develop muscle at an early
age. If he is allowed free room in which to
run, the colt fed few oats daily will do all
else that is needed. He will even groom
himself by rolling on the ground or in the
snow when snow is on the ground. Be-
sides. pint of oats twice day, making
only quart day, will keep the colt grow
ing when with only hay he will haye a
rough, staring coat and grow very little the
first winter. What is worse. the colt thus
