The lad war only about four feet
high, but he had a coonskin cap and a
pair Of rawhide boots which looked as
if they had been made to order for a
giant. The man who was touring
through that neighborhood, on govern
ment business bent, stopped his horse
at the log house to make some inquiries
as to the roads. He introduced the con-
versation with the patronizing inquiry:
"What is your name. my little MANI"
The boy looked up at him with stern
gravity and answered:
CDR. Hawkins"
"Why--how long have you been a
doctor?"
After some moments of mental calou-
lation the boy replied:
about Ia years."

"Well, I dunno as they're so nation

Hawkins and Professor Hawkins in the

"They-they are spending a little
time at home, are they?"
"Yep. They've got to. They amt

only 1 year old, and Perfess is just cut

lowed he wasn't goin to let his boys
go through life without the advantages
he'd been deprived of hisself. But at
the same time he wasn't goin to give
up no money to the colleges. So he took

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time and whenever
any of my family or myself begin to
catch cold we begin to use the Cough
Remedy, and as a result we never have
to send away for a doctor and incur a
large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy never fails to cure. 1t
is certainly a medicine of great merit
and worth.-D. s. Mearkle, General

It is very hard to stand idly by and

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. " dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for it from that part Of the country. For

What Dedicated the Oaks.

All through northeastern Iowa and
quite large section of southern and
southeastern Minnesota the oak groves
the past season were almost de oliated
by an army of caterpillars which we're
of kind new to all living in the terri
tory named. We had noticed their
work in previous seasons, but it was al
ways on an insignificant scale until this
year, when they made clean sweep and
left hundreds of acres of groves perfect
ly bare of foliage 10y the first wee in
September. For our own satisfaction
aud also that we might be able to an
swer through these notes numerous in
auiries as to the cause of this trouble,
we have been looking up the pedigree
of this pest, the technical name of which
is Anisota senatorial. The progenitor of
this caterpillar is night flying moth
which lays it's eggs in clusters of from
200 to 300 on the under side of the
oak leaves in July or early in August.
These eggs soon hatch and the grubs
commence their work, preferring the
leaves of the young burr oak trees most,
but, failing to get enough of these, TAX
ing those of the jack oak and black oak.
Before the first heavy frost they work
their way into the ground and remain in
adormant pupae stage until next season,
when they emerge as the moth above
referred to, ready for another campaign.
Were it not that the number of this in
sect pest is limited by parasitic enemies
they would soon entirely ruin the oak
groves of all the country; but, as is COM
mon in such cases, they are subject to
the attacks of parasite which, after it
has increased year by year for three or
four years, wipes them almost out Of
existence. This is their parasite year
and the chances are that they will not
be source of trouble next year.

For Better Road.

a We hope every farmer who reads this
will use his influence with his represen-
tative in the next Iowa legislature to
have thorough revision Of our present
road laws. 1t is SO easily possible to get
more good, permanent road work done
for less money than it is now costing,
that every good citizen should favor
such change in the laws as will secure
such a result. The change most needed
is not more money, higher taxes or
bonded debts, but justla practical, bust
ness-like expenditure Of the money now
raised. We want dollars worth Of
work for dollar paid-we are now get.
ting about thirty cents worth. Con-
solidate the districts; employ competent
men; let the big jobs on contract. Stir
your member of the legislature up on
this matter.

A Waste In Hay.

Out of hundreds OF stacks OF hay
which we noticed on a recent trip
through western state we did not see
one model. we'll built stack. Seemingly
each stack was built to secure the larg-
est possible amount of waste, the aver
age height being about ten feet, the
width about the same and the leagth
suited to the caprice of the owner. In
stack so built the waste under ordi-
nary weather conditions is not less than
25 per cent and oftentimes much more.
This is waste connected with western
farming which should be stopped. A
man cannot afford to lose such per
cent of his hay crop when raised on $50
land, whatever he might do on the cheap
lands of the pioneer days. Where the
barn is wanting in which to store the
hay crop, canvas large enough to cover
a stack holding so tons of hay would be
a good investment, and then, by the aid
of fork and derrick, build the stack
broad and high, topping it out after it
gets we'll settled.

1t is to be regretted that the manu-
facture of beet sugar by the most Geo.
nomical methods involves the expendi-
ture of such vast sum of money, about
$4,000 at the very least, for the estab-
lishment of plant and the imperative
necessity of securing pledges Of SO large
an acreage of beets, not less than 4,OU0
acres, to be grown contiguous to the
factory, to furnish it material with
which to work. IL it were only possible
to start this industry something on the
plan of the creamery, so that the work
could be done on smaller scale, there
would be no difficulty in getting this in
dustry started at once al over the west.

Tote Fair.

Not long since We saw the wife of a
pretty well fixed farmer dragging a
heavy sack and hunting around the
place for fuel with which to cook the
evening meal, and as she found some
cobs or some sticks or some pieces OF
board she would put them into the sack
Seeing this woman thus working, We
wondered it her husband thought as
much of her as he did of his cows, hors-
es or hogs. Now, you men who read
this, see here. Don't you secure at once,
for your Own comfort and convenience,
each ard all OF the improved devices for
doing your farm work? And don't you
know that you often go into debt for
them at that? The use of these i'm
proved appliances has made your work
vastly easier and taken from the farm
very much of its old time slavery and
toll Now, what have you done in this
line for your good wife? Practically
nothing at all. No soft water, save as
she can catch some in leaky barrel; no
wood house, no wood pile, no conven-
iently arranged kitchen and modern
cooking utensils, no painted floor, no
washing machine, none of the hundred
and one little inventions which so light
en- the housekeeper's toll. And she
partly because yon are always preaching
that you are hard up and partly because
of her ignorance that such labor saving
devices exist, goes on overwhelmingly.
There was time when poverty excused
to some extent this neglect ana selfish
ness, but that day has passed, and any
man worth 5000 who will compel his
wife to work in the old poverty rut needs
attending to. In all fairness man
should provide his wife with the same
improved facilities for doing her work
which he secures for himself, and il he
won't do it he is an old brute.

We know that it is but stating an old
truth over again when we say that tor
all young and growing animal life on
the farm, n laying hens and milking
cows, heterogeneous foods are far better
than carbonaceous foods. heterogeneous
foods make muscle, blood and bone;
carbonaceous foods make fat. Clover,
oats, bran, oilmeal and skimmilk are the
common heterogeneous farm products,
while corn is essentially carbonaceous
food, fat maker. This is why the hen
which is fed wholly on corn grows fat
and ceases to lay, why the COW which
has corn diet becomes fat and shrinks
in her milk yield and why little pigs fed
largely on corn lack good frames, muscle
and bone. .

There is very wide range in the pos
sible yield of sugar beets. The best re-
corded crop gave AZ tons to the acre,
which at 81 per ton gave a return to the
grower of S1SS per acre. Beets are be
ing delivered now at the factory in Pc
kin, Ill.,, which only yield six tons to the
acre. In the one case the beet is raised
with large profit; in the other they are
raised at loss.

which they have placed on the domestic
help they will at once be able to get a
better educated and more refined type

Broad leaved vegetables all exhaust
the potash in the soil where they are
grown This fact explains why cab
bages, turnips and beets, containing lit
tie or no starch, never leave the ground
in better shape, save, as being hoed
crops, they may clean the land and why
a crop OF potatoes, il properly cared for,
always improves the land for succeed
ing crop. This potash is stored in the
leaves OF these plants and not in their
roots, aud in the case Of sugar beets it
is necessary to leave the tops and crown
Of the plant, which are cut of before
grinding, on the land.

A good many hired men have broken
their contracts this season and skipped
out because they could get higher wages
Just when their employer needed them
the worst. This sort of thing might be
avoided if proper written contract was
made at the beginning, which should
provide that portion of the wages
should be held back to secure perfor-
nance of his part of the contract by the
man who is hired.
