FARM TOPICS
Making CLAY Land Pay.

A rundown farm OF any kind Of soil
is hard TO reclaim, but II the soil be
heavy IL probably has much unused
fertility that only requires thorough
working TO develop. Almost all clay
soils have surplus Of water, and
they must he underdrnined before any
SUCCESS can be made Of them. IL is a
good plan, after laying tile drain, to
fiji mp half the depth of the ditch
above IL with loose stone. Through
this the water will run into the tile,
and each year. for at least ten or fif-
teen years, the area Of drained soil on
either side will be extended.

Profit From Feeding Dairy Cows.

Some dairy farmers feed their cows
on the supposition that the less feed
consumed the greater profit. 1t is
interesting in this connection to note
the difference in quantity and quality
OF the feed given "to the poorest five
herds and contrast it with that given
the best FIVE herds out OF eighty-two
herds of Meroden creamery patrons
investigated by the Kansas Expert
ment Station during the summer of
1898. One herd out of the poorest
five received no grain during the year,
three received ear corn as their sole
grain ration, and the fifth herd re-
ceived little oats and rye in connec.
ton with corn meal. For roughness,
only one herd out OF the five received
any clover, the rest being fed en-
millet, prairie hay or corn fodder.
With one exception the best five herds
received oats, bran or shorts in con-
nection with the corn fed, and in
most cases the roughness Of corn
fodder or millet was balanced with
alfalfa or clover. The composition of
the feeds given to the five poorest
herds shows that they contain entirely
too much carbohydrates and fat in
proportion to the amount of protein,
the element in feed that is absolutely
necessary in the manufacture Of milk
The feed given to the best five herds
approached more nearly to "bal-
anced ration" for the reason that bran,
oats, shorts, alfalfa and clover contain
a larOar raraanfana ~ ,arntafn
Now. let us look at results. Not all
the difference in the income OF these
herds is to be attributed to the feed,
bat larger part of it can be. Sup
pose we estimate the cost of keeping
a COW at S15 per annum for the poor
est five herds, which sum is doubtless
below the actual cost, and one-third
more, or $50 per COW, for the best five
herds. There would then be $780,
annual profit per COW from the poorest
herd and s3f.3S annual from the best
herd, a difference of S3l.34 per COW.
This means that one COW from the
best herd brings as much clear cash
to a man as eleven cows from the
poorest herd. If we take the average
of the poorest five herds, there is q
profit of $3.50 per COW; while from
the best five herds the profit amounts
to S25.13; difference of S16.54. In
other words, one COW from the best
herds will bring man as much clear
profit as three cows from the poorest
herds.
1t should ever be borne in mind
that it requires certain amount of
feed to keep up the animal machine,
just as it requires a certain amount of
feed to run an empty locomotive; and
that the profit comes from the feed
eaten over and above that necessary
for animal sustenance, Just as the ef-
fciency of a locomotive comes from
the fuel consumed over and above
that necessary to move its own weight.
Economy along the line of withholding
feed from good dairy COW is false
economy. 1t is simply ex.ravagance.

q. M. Webb, an all round good
farmer Of Benedict, and a model

TO poultry during the past three

the record runs as follows: He
began the year with 135 hens

making a total of 1910 dozens,
for which he received 1919. SO.
OF chickens he sold during the
year 81, for which he received
$19.98, and has on hand to date
40. His expense account stands
as follows: Bran, $18.40 sulphur,
So; cracked lime, So. This, with
boiled sweet potatoes and a very
little corn and what they picked
up in the fields constituted their
diet.
The health of his flock has been
remarkable, but then he has given
the quarters for the same regular
cleaning and disinfectants, with
plenty of clean water.
AS Mr.. w. remarked, the
chicken business is only a side
show with him and his good wife,
as cattle and hogs constitute his
largest source of revenue. Mr..
Webb is one who deems that no
country that he knows of gives
as good returns for labor and
capital expended as does Florida,
and nowhere in the state IS there
better land or greater opportuni-
ties for a person with limited
means than Marion county. All
of which the Star knows to be

1T MERITS ATTENTION
A New Preparation Which Cures Dys-
pepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
Remarkable Curative Properties,

a new remedy, which may revolution
has recently been placed before the
public and bears the endorsement of
many leading physicians and scientific
men.
The remedy is not wonderful secret
discovery, nor patent medicine, neither
is it claimed to cure anything except in
digestion and stomach troubles, with
which nine tenths of our nation are
afflicted.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozengers containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin Gree from animal impuritiesl
bismush and Golden Seal; they are all
sod by druggists generally under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made
with these tablets show that they pos
sess remarkable digestive powers, one
grain of the active principle being sufi-
cient to thoroughly digest 5000 times its
own weight of lean meat, eggs, oatmeal
or similar wholesome foods; these
tablets do not act on the bowels like
after dinner pile, nor in fact do they
act upon any particular organ, but the
manner in which they cure all forms of
indigestion is this: They act entirely
upon the food eaten, digesting it com
! pletely, nourishing every tissue and
nerve in the body; they simply perform
the work of digestion, thus giving the
! weak stomach rest and assistance suffi-
cient to enable it to recover its normal
strength. This is the reason so many
pretended cures have signally failed /;
they do not furnish the digestire power
which is the one thing above all others
that the stomach of the dyspeptic lacks,
and unless that lack is supplied, it is
waste OF time to attempt to restore the
enfeebled stomach by means of ''tonics, -
''stomach bitters" and "pills' no per-
manent good can result from their use.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover this is the secret and
the whole secret of the remarkable sue
cess of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
remedy practically unknown year ago
and now the most popular, widely used
dyspepsia remedy. everywhere success
secured almost entirely on it's merits, as
it has never been extensively advertised.
