On the Battlefield.

ldulCa y
ganization known as the Woman's Relief
Corps, whose aid to the soldier of today,
fighting against the world for a living, is
no less notable than the heroism OF the
carly '60's.
One Of the most earnest members of the
corps at Byron, ILL.,, is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness once put a stop to her
active work. A year or SO ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
when women must be most careful OF their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seri-
ously i'll. The family physician told her
that she had reched a critical period of her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatme nt did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved ~unavailing.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People we're brought to her notice, with in.
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed
hope she tried the remedy. Last March she
took the first box Of the pills, which gave
much relief. She was determined to be
cured, n kept or with the medicine, I'M
tile now eight boxes have been consumed,
| and she feels like a new woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: Il rave taken
only eight boxes, but l have been improv-
ing since l took the first dose. l do not be-
lieve / could have lived without the pills.
They certaily ave lone me more good
than any physician or any medicine have
ever tried"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold in boxes
(never in loose bulk) at 30 cents a box o.
six boxes for 81. 80, and may be had of al
druggists, or direct by mail from DR.. Viii

Culture of German Millet.

The following question and answer
is from Progressive Farmer of North
Carolina: l wish to ask for some in
formation about the culture and the
use of German millet. I have tried to
grow it for several years, but have new
err been successful. Also please state
If it is good forage to feed to working
stock. 1t seems to be the opinion of
several Of our farmers that it has a
tendency to have a weakening effect on
the Kidneys. D. w, Rutland. Ga.
Answer.-German millet should not
be sown until the weather is settled
warm. To do we'll it must be on rich
land, or be highly MANFRED. 1t calls
for a complete fertilizer, such as we'll
rotted barnyard manure, or highly m
nominated phosphate with a good per-
centage of potash. The land should be
well prepared and brought into a fine
filth by repeated plowings and har-
rowings. Sow about three pecks Of
seed per acre, harrow in lightly and
then roll the land to firm the soil about
the seed. 1t should be cut just as the
heads appear and before the seed forms.
The seed develops very rapidly after
heads appear, and the cutting should
not be delayed. Ripe millet is consid-
cred unhealthy. 1t is a very rich, nu-
tritious forage; should not be fed too
freely at first, and should not form an
exclusive diet at any time.

Competition in Cattle.

The Scottish Farmer, an excellent
exchange from the other side of the
water, discusses the subject of COM
petition from American cattle, and it
is not able to see how, with increasing
population and decreasing numbers
of stock, we should be flooding foreign
markets with u live stock, both beef
and mutton, and attributes it mainly
to improvement in breeding by which
we transform Gamers into better beef
and increase the pounds of beef in
proportion to the number of cattle.
Wallace's Farmer, in commenting up
on this says: "There has been no i'm
provement in ten years past in the
quality of the cattle in the corn and
grass states. If anything there has
been deterioration. There has been
great improvement in the cattle in the
semi-arid belt; that is, in the eastern
portions of the plains, and also in
some of the mountain states, particu-
larly Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana. There is, however, a limit
to this improvement in the environ
ment, to which also there is a we'll
defined limit. Cattle can be bred up
readily to the measure Of their en-
vironment. natural or artificial, but
beyond that the improvement cannot
possibly go. The important fact, SO
far as cattle are concerned, which our
foreign contemporary overlooks IS
this: That during the last two years,
owing to the very low price of corn
and unusually large number Of acres,
cattle Of all ages have been placed on
feed, thus depicting the range stock
to an extent which is really alarming
to the ranchmen themselves. These
cattle having been once placed on feed
must be marketed when they are fit to
! go, and often before, and for this rea-
son there is fully the usual number Of
fat cattle offered in the market and
the usual per CEN of them going
abroad. This will regulate itself in
time. 1t is difficult to see whence the
places of these cattle are to be filled
after they have gone to market. That
this is the true solution of the prob
lem is clear from the fact that stock
cattle, or stores as the folks across
the water call them are relatively very
much higher than fat cattle, so much
so, that instances are not at all infre-
quent of cattle having been shipped to
market as fat, being sent back after
a journey of seven or eight hundred
miles and sold in the same neighbor-
hood, and sometimes to the man who
fed them. as stock cattle.

They Are Fond OF Cheerful Surround
ss-H to Improve Your Homes.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
paid to the interior decoration OF
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, is without Its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
tngs more cheerful. The taste OF the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new IN the way OF q
picture, a draping, a piece OF furniture
or some form Of mural decoration.
One of the latest of these a been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in a series Of four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand
some in this line been seen. The sub
5ects represented by these plaques are
American Will Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them

These original plaques have been pur-
chased at a cost of $780, 900 by J. G.
Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers of
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous GUS
omers to become possessors OF these
handsome works of art they have had
thea reproduced by a special process
IN all the rich colors and beauty Of
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed In the shape Of a plaque and
trimmed with a heavy band Of gold.
They measure forty inches in circIm-
ference and contain no reading matter

A ~New-FangIcd Idea.

A prominent downtown restaurant
has put in a machine which ''cuts ice,"
literally, and also, figuratively, in that
1t saves money.
Back behind the kitchen, shafting
and other machinery necessary to run
an ordinary band saw have been put
in, together with a little table. An en-
ploye takes a big cake of ice and saws
it up into little cubes, just as a work
man in a sawmill might make cubes
out of a piece Of timber.
Ihe-saw goes through'the ice without
causing any -appreciahle loss of mate
rial, the ice melts more slowly, and The
little cubes( when placed in a glass Of
| water, look neat and trim. Altogether
there is a great saving of time and ice

Turkeys for Breeders.

Save the earliest and best turkeys
for breeders, or buy the very best that
can be found at any cost. To kill the
best and breed from inferior speci-
mems will run out any stock, says
American Fancier. Breed from choice
old hens aa-le~s as rney live; they
lay larger eggs, are the most reliable
mothers, and their progeny are larger.
Breed from gobblers already tested the
previous season, and it is well to have
an extra tested gobbler in reserve in
case the head of your flock is lost, by
accident or disease. One three years
old will produce more thrifty stock
than a younger one. According to our
experience and that of Rhode Island
r~aisers, turkeys that roost out Of doors
the year through do the best. They
can withstand wind, rain and snow
without injury if they roost in the lee
of a hill or thick wood. On land
where the wind has full sweep a wind
break of some kind should be provided
for them. 1 do not advise housing tur-
keys. An empty barn having plenty
of cracks may be used to shelter breed.
ing turkeys, but I would use nothing
smaller or tighter. They may be al
lowed to roost on trees in the orchard
or on roosts built where they will be
protected by some building. Large
poles laid on a frame 10 or Is feet
high answer the purpose. At fatten-
ing time the breeding birds should re-
| ceive less food than those that are to
be slaughtered. They should be kept
in good condition, but not fattened.
Feed them very lightly towards spring,
lest they become too fat to lay we'll, or
to produce strong stock. Give less corr
and more oats, wheat and clover.

The question of treatment for potato
bugs is always a live one. Spraying
with Paris green is without doubt the
best method for large fields, as 1t not
only kills the bugs but protects the
vines to a great extent. Some potato
growers, however, prefer to pick off Ill
the bugs by hand. While this takes a
great deal Of time, yet it Is entirely
feasible. Where children can be hired
to do the work a field may be soon
cleared of the bugs.
In the selection of seed for the next
year great care should be taken that
all of the seed be free from any indi-
cations of the rot. This end can be
attained II the potatoes are selected
from parts of the field where no blight
appears on the leaves. The disease is
carried over from year to year in the
seed, and If this be carefully selected
1t would appear possible to eradicate
some of the potato diseases entirely.
The depth of eye in the potato is
| sometimes of great moment, but it has
It's objections as we'll as its advantages.
| The varieties that have deep eyes are
more suitable for dry land than those
that have eyes on the surface. The
| deep cavities retain the moisture, and
this is often considerable of a help. Inc
| deep eyes are also said to indicate ro-
business, while others contend that al
the same time they also indicate
coarseness. Deep eyes protect the buds
or sprouts against accidents, and mus
they are more sure of sending out
sprouts than any others. On the othel
hand, the deep-eyed potato is objected
to on account of the difficulty of peel
ing it without waste. The deep eyes
compel the cutting away of much OF the
potato to get the eyes out, as the eyes
make dark places on the potato thai
appear unsightly. They are thus ne

now frequently served in that way, the
objection is permanent.

The fact that the farm separator has
passed the experimental stage, and its
utility is no longer open to doubt, it
seems a little surprising that more of
them are not met with, writes e. P.
Smith in Wisconsin Agriculturist. The
question that may possibly rise in
considering the value Of a separator is,
will 1t pay on a small farm? The mi
tial cost of the separator seems high,
from $50 up. One Of the great virtues
OF the separator is thoroughness, and
thereby much is saved that by old
methods would be lost. Count this
waste up through a series OF years,
and it would be found to amount to
far more than the cost of the separa-
tor. Moreover, much of the ordinary
farm butter is faulty, and this is due
In most cases to poor dreaming Of the
milk. Good butter cannot be male
from faulty cream. Here is where the
separator comes in as a valuable adj
5unct. The cream of fresh milk thai
comes direct from the separator Is as
near perfection as possible, and there
Is no wonder that such cream makes
the gilt-edged butter that commands
a premium in all the markets. Delay
in Dreaming milk is always more Of
less fatal. Dispatch Is the prime ne
cessity in handling the cream in
dairy. This, however, is only possible
with a separator. The fresh milk hal

important point to consider. Cream

A new method of preserving freshly
killed meats is described by Consul
Hughes of S%onneberg, who says: 1.-THE
animal to be used is first shot or stun
ned by a shot from a revolver Qoaded
with small slugs) in the forehead, in
such a way as not to injure the brain
proper. AS the animal drops sense
less. an assistant cuts down over the
heart, opens a ventricle and allows
all the blood to flow out, the theory of
this being that the decomposition of
the blood is almost entirely RESPONSE
BILE for the quick putrefaction of fresh
meats. Immediately thereafter a
briny solution (made of coarse or fine
salt. more or less strong, according to
length of time meat is to be kept is
injected by means of a powerful
syringe through the other ventricle in
to the veins of the body. The whole
process takes only a few minutes, and
the beef is ready for use and can be
cut up at once"

but 1t isn't as satisfactory. The old
vines over the row make covering
enough for the plants. Our object In
blowing is to strengthen and narrow up
the row, break up and fine the soil
making a reservoir for the plants to
draw from another year. After re-
peatedly trying different plans, we have
come to the conclusion that this is the
most scientific and practical plan to
pursue"

Mr.. John L. Van Doren writes as
follows: The hog of the future will
be bred and born with his Sunday

and tapering nicely, y clear and

open, only when sleeping. The ear
will be found thin, resembling tissue

will be broad, level, ribs we'll sprung

no crease or dropping behind the shout

and full and running we'll down to fore
leg, and measures as much or more
in the flank as heart girth, running
smooth and ever from end to end with
an even under line and standing on
heavy, strong, straight legs. A hog
broken down in the feet is not the hog
of the future. The hog Of the future
will have a coat of hair as fine as silk,
he will be as mellow to the touch as

His drink will be sweet, clean, pure,

groomed and kept as a race horse, free
from vermin. In summer he will be
protected from the heat and in win
