A breaking down of the nervous system"
Ia a modern expression, modern COM
plant. 1t is induced By prolonged strain
and the overtaxing of the nervous system,
and is a product Of over hurry and hustle.
It affects the preacher end the lawyer-the
direct result Of brain tire. 1t affects people
in any walk of life, too who worry and fret.
Il means q depicting of the nerve forces.
1t is durable by complete rest and change
of scene, also by the use of nerve restoratives
and nerve foods. As the first method is not
within the reach of ALL the latter offers
the most universal and practical method
of treating the complaint. When it is de-
termined that medicine is to be used, Sc
lect that one which contains the most nerve
nourishing properties. Do not take nerve
tonics. They only stimulate, and the reaction
leaves you worse than you were before.
Select the medicine that is to the nerves
what meat is to the body-one that as it

Care OF the Dairy. Heifer.

The young dairy heifer ought to
be as we'll fed and cared for as the
milk COW, because her future useful
ness depends on her condition prior
TO her first, pregnancy, She does
not need food either for milk. pro-
duction nor for fat, but ought to be
kept In strong, growing condition by
food that makes bone and muscular
tissue and gives vigor of constitu-
ton. The heller should have a
more active life than the cow kept
for milk, but requires just as much
care in feeding and just as sufficient
shelter from inelement weather.

Orchard and Garden.

Thoroughly cultivate all newly
planted trees.
To prevent mildew in apple trees,
trim out well.
Flowering plants should never be
watered with cold water.
Coffee grounds make good fer
tilizer for house plants in Winter.
In pruning the grapes, usually
plenty of good cuttings can be Sc
cured.
Keeping a tree thrifty tends ma
terially to lessen the liability to
disease.
After a tree is pruned it is more
important to have it heal we'll than
quickly.
Seed-bearing is the heaviest draft
on the vitality and tends to exhaust
the plant.
Plant the orchard on well-drain-
ed soil, rich enough to produce good
farm crops,
Save all of the old bones and the
washing suds and apply around the
grape vines.
The cherry, after once we'll start
ed to growing, requires very little if
any pruning.
In taking up tree it is an item
to take with it all of the healthy
roots possible.
Now is good time to apply the
poultry manure around the straw
berry plants.
One advantage with low limbed
trees is that they are not so liable
to be blown over
Weak, spindling fruit trees should
have good, stout stakes set beside
them when planted.
If there are any bones on the
farm gather them up and bury them
near the grape vines.
Try new varieties on small scale
until their value is more fully de-
termined in your locality.
Do not crowd in the orchard or
garden. Trees and plants need
plenty of air, sun and room to do
best.
The grape vines should be trim.
med now. Ii the work is deferred
until Spring the vines will bleed
badly.
Do not prune the peach until
after the danger of freezing is over
in the Spring, and then prune Sc
verely.
In planting most varieties of
small fruits the mistake Is often
made of planting too closely to-
gether.
Ii the Strawberries have not been
mulched before, it is not too late to
do it yet before the thawing and
freezing weather of Spring sets in.

Watering stock.

1t is perhaps the proper system
to water the animals at regular per-
iods, especially horses, but animals
differ, and may desire water at
times when they do not receive it.
To give all animala free access to
water IL certainly not contrary to
natural law, as they are better
judges of eating and drinking, SO
far as'they are concerned, than their
owners.

FOR THE FARMER.
Broad-Tired Wagons.

ilo M lboOuil Ia POiiA'O''' - oes''S''
has made large number of expert
ments during the past two years
with the draft of broad and narrow
tired wagons. These tests have been
made with the ordinary narrow
tired wheels and with 6-inch tires,
on macadamstreets, gravel and dirt
roads, in all conditions, on meadows,
pasture, stubble and plowed fields,
both wet and dry. Bulletin No. 80
of the station, by Director H. J.
Waters, gives the results of these
tests. 5t5e r 49,
The broad tifes pulled materially
lighter on the macadam street and
the gravel roads. Also, on dirt
roads in all conditions except when
soft or sloppy on the surface, under
laid by hard roadbed, and when the
mud was very deep and sticky. In
both of these conditions the narrow
. tires pulled considerably lighter. 1t
should be borne in mind, however,
that the roads are in these condit-
ions for comparatively short per-
iod of time, and this at seasons
when their use has naturally been
reduced to the minimum The tests
on meadows, pastures, stubble land,
corn land and plowed ground in
every condition, from dry, hard and
firm to very wet and soft, show,
Z without a single exception, large
saving in draft by the use of the
broad tires.
The bulk of the hauling done by
the farmer is on the farm, in haul
ing feed from the fields and haul
ing manure from the barns, etc.
The actual tonnage hauled to mar
ket is insignificant in comparison
with that hauled about on the farm,
inasmuch as large proportion of
the products of the average farm is
sent to market in the form of live
stock or its products.
1t is clearly shown by these ex-
perimehts that in many instances
where the narrow tire is very in
furious to the road or field, the
broad tire proves positively benefc-
ial when the same load is hauled.
When it is considered, therefore,
that the average draft of the broad
tire is materially less than the mar
row tire, and that the injury done
to the roads and farms by the mar
row tire can be almost wholly cor
rected by the use of the wide tires,
there remains no longer any good
reason for the use of the narrow
tired wagons. f' ~
These experiments further indi-
cate that 6 inches is the best width
of tire for the farm and road wagon,
and that both axles should be the
same length, SO that the front and
rear wheels shall run in the same
track. A profusely illustrated bull
letin giving full report OF these tests
is now ready for free distribution
upon application to the director of
the Missouri Experiment Station of
Columbia.

Many young apple trees are ruin
ed by allowing too many branches
to start out. Prune when the tree
is set out
An easy way to keep up the fer
tility of the orchard is to seed it
down to clover and use it as a pas
ture for hogs.
In selecting trees for wind-break
it is quite an item to have them of
a close growing habit, and as nearly
perpetual foliage as possible.
While good proportion of far
mers grow apples, only small per
cent grow anything like fair sup
ply of peaches, plums, pears, cherri
es and small fruits.
Old orchards may be renovated
by thorough cultivation, cleaning
up, whitewashing and doing such
other work as is necessary to get
the soil in good condition.

Keep the Cow Warm.

The loss of pint of milk in one
day from each animal in herd
amounts to many quarts, and may
represent 81 or 81 more. This will
occur when the stalls are not warm
and insufficient bedding is provided.
A crack in the wall, when the wind
is damp and cold, may cause dis
tress to all the animals, yet the cost
of repairing such may be but a
small sum.

conference depends the line of action of
the immediate future. For the present
the land bombardment by Gen. Skaters
