A DEEP MYSTERY.

1t is a mystery why women endure
backache, headache, nervousness,
sleeplessness,m melancholy, fainting and
dizzy spells when thousands have
proved that electric bitters will quick
ly cure such troubles. 81 suffered
for years with kidney troubles, writes
Mrs. Phebe Cherley, of Peterson, Ia,
'.and lame back panied me SO could
not dress myself, but electric bitters
wholly cured me, and, although 70
years old, now am able to do all my
housework." It oyercomes constip =
ton, improves appetite, gives perfect
health. Only SOC at Beardsley's drug

Christmas as Of Old.
By Nixon Waterman.


Christmas, like used to be!
That's the kidd would gladden. me.
Kith and kin from far and near
Joining in the Christmas cheer.
Oh, the laughing girls and boys
Oh, the feasting and the joys
Wouldn it be good to see
Christmas like it used to be?
Christmas like it used to be-
Snow attending bush and tree,
Bells a-jingling down the lane;
Cousins John and Jim and Jane,
Sue and Kate and all the rest
Dressed up in their Sunday BEST
Coming to that world of glee-
Christmas like it used to be.
Christmas like it used to be.
Been a long, long time since we
Wished (when Santa Claus should Gomez
You doll aud I drum,
You book and I sled
Strong and swift and painted red;
Oh, that day Of jubilee!
Christmas like it used to be.
Christmas like 1t uSeQ TO De.
It is still as glad and free
And as fair and full of truth
10 the clearer eyes of 20 nth,
Could we gladly glimpse it through
Eyes our children's children do,
In their JOY time we would see
Christmas as it used to be.

Onlv Two Kinds of Cook.
ing: Good and Bad.

"All things should be cooked
WE'LL" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer,
in the June Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "There are but two classes
of cooking: the good and the bad.
There is no medium. If things
are not palatable they are bad.
1t is not only the food that is
wasted, but the time of prepare
ton; and strange as it may seem,
the most artistic and the most
wholesome ways of preparing
foods are the simplest. One
great trouble with the average
housewife is that she has not
studied the art of. cooking
which being a complicated one,
cannot be learned from a book
any more than the art of paint
ing or dancing can be picked up
without an Instructor. To save
trouble the housewife falls into
a routine; overwork and over
anxiety rob her of her appetite,
and she is poor judge of the
appetite of others.

There seems to be a revival of
interest in needlework as an art.

for photographs of sofa. pillows,

was almost overwhelming-pic,

judges who awaited the prizes
for the best examples of this
variety of needlework were great
ly surprised at the artistic excel
lence of most of the specimens
offered. Better work, and ap-
parently very much work, is be-
ing done with thes needle

fifty of the best of thee sofa

Cattle Raising.

Thef9ss no question but what
theefh{efs rapidly approaching
ihlth4s c6untry when cattle rails,
inSSonha large scale on ranches
Wifi beea thing of the past. Each
farmer on his small farm can
raassea few steers at a great pro-
hbFfeeding them and pushing
them to the greatest capacity, A
pdfe breed of Hereford, Durham,
Galloway or Angus, the best
BEEF breeds we'll of properly
Cared for, weigh at 2 years old
1900 to 1900 pounds and in Chic
ago or Kansas City will bring 6
cents FER pound, which is $50 to
$50 per head, while a scrub of
the same ages after being fed for
months on cotton seed meal only
weighs 5 to 6 hundred pounds
and bring 81 20 cents. A small
amount of grazing of burmuda
and a full feeding of cotton
seed meal and bulls each day
WILL not only bring a full blooded
steer up to the above figures and
profits, but the manure from
such feeding will more than com
pensate for feed and care so the
sales will be clear profits. More
provender can be raised on an
acre of ground in sorghum than
can de had from natural grasses.
Fed green this will yield more
from an acre than in any other
way. Small farmers should
club togather and buy a pure
blooded bull and grade up their
stock. A few stock on the farm
is an absolute necessity.

Old-Fasi1ionable Dinners
The Best
MUCH MORE WHOLESALE AND
NUTRITIOUS THAN THE COURSE
DINNER OF TO-DAY.

Many people who are constant,
ly trying to concoct new and
tempting dishes overstep the
mark. People who eat larg'
quantities of the various pre-
served foods are not always the
strongest. The old-fashioned
meal of roasted or boiled beef
served up with it's own juices,
with two plain vegetables and a
pudding, was far more whole
some than the eight-course
dinner which is served nowadays.
Few people know the true flavor
of potatoes or rice. In this
country seasoning too often
means salt and pepper only.
People in the Eastern countries,
especially the Turks. make most
delightful stews and soups by
using a combination of vegeta-
bles, cooking them slowly enough
to draw out the flavor. Extracts
and sauces prepared chemically.
and mustard and horseradish,
may be taken now and then, per-
haps to advantage; but, as a
rule, things of this kind should
be avoided or used sparingly.-

considerable number of these burrows
at once and under favorable conditions
Of surface and water supply can ac-
complish the irrigation of as great an
area in given time as by the flooding
system.
This method is also applicable to the
irrigation of corn and in fact Of any
crop whatever which is planted regu-
larly in rows, a single furrow between
each two rows being generally used for
such crops. When applicable, 1t is the
fayorite method both for its conven-
ience and the economy of water there
by effected. But where the ground is
very irregular this plan is often incon-
venient, for the reason that the fur
rows paralleling the rows of crop
would upon such surfaces be up and
down hill and would therefore not car
ry water. To make this method ap-
plicable In such cases 1t would be nee
essary that the rows follow approx
mately the contour of the ground in or
der that the parallel burrows might
carry water throughout their entire
length The irrigation of irregular sur
faces, however, is generally conducted
under the flooding system except in To-
calities where, as in parts of southern
California. the value of the crop fire.
quently warrants the expense OF level
ing off or terracing irregular surfaces
or the application of water through
buried pipes. as 1t is arranged in the
water supply of cities.
A modification of the flooding meth
cd is the compartment or check system
Of irrigation practiced in some locali-
ties. particularly in portions Of Arizo-
ma This consists in dividing the field
to be irrigated into squares or com
partmcnts by levees or dikes Of such
height as to cause the water to stand
over the entire area of the compart-
ments at one time, the water being ad
mitted to each compartment by means
Of gate in the levee. The water Is al
lowed to stand until the ground has be-
come properly moistened, the time de-
pending largely upon the character Of
the soil. The compartments or squares
vary in size according to the slope Of
the ground, but are not usually more
than an acre or so in area.-J. c. Ul-

A cooa I.te so,l,nr Crov

A crop of barley and peas is fvery
useful for late soiling and may beseed-
ed from Aug. l to Sept. 1 in New Jer-
sey. It's field management is practical
ly identical with that of oats and peas
1t is not injured by light frost and can
be fed throughout the months of Oc-
tober and November. The yield, how
ever, is very materially Influenced by
the season. If the weather is cool and
moist throughout August and Septem-
Der, nearly as large yields may be OBJ
tanned as from a crop of oats and peas,
but IL the fall is dry and hot the crop is
liable to be very much reduced, as the
pea particularly is seriously injured
by such weather conditions.
