WARMING THE BARNARD.
Boards Are Cheaper Than Corn.
Comfort For Animals Pays.

With present prices for grain and hay

sure: Iattvnng stock need very little
exercise if they are properly fed, and
comfortable animals fattcn on less feed
than uncomfortable ones.
On western corn farms in season Of
cheap corn it may pay to use extra
grain instead If lumber to maintain
heat ia cold, stormy weather. There is
less labor, and a bushel of corn does not
count for much some years. But this
year feed is high priced, and the thou
sands of farmers who like to carry q
few steers through the winter are de-
batting the protitableness of it or have
decided that they had better sacrifice
the stock on hand and stay out for one
year. They know best, but if the cattle
are to be kept the feed should go to
better purpose than merely that of
keeping the animals warm.

comfortably in stalls three and a half
feet WIDE letting the stall divisions run
back three feet. The cattle stood on q
tight clay floor, were heavily bedded,
and the weakest or most cowardly in
the lot ate with the same security en-
jOyed by the maSterful ones. They were
comfortable, lay down much Of the time
when not eating, and digestion was as
nearly perfect as could be gotten. The
average farmer feeding n few cattle
during the winter for market or for
summer grazing cannot afford to keep
them in open barn lots. Boards are
cheaper than corn.

BRA,N-EOOD NONSENSE,

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet will not
only nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton OF dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their coming
by taking regular doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, the favOrite medicine of the

gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

Farmers Combine For Roads.

Farmers of Wabash county. Ind, are
showing how good roads can be built
by cooperation and at much reduced
cost. They have an agreement among
themselves on road building. each own
er of land abutting on a highway to be
improved pledging in work or cash
$3.50 per each acre within half q mile
of the road. Payment may be made
within three years. and the burden
thus distributed Is hardly felt. The
work is done in dull seasons, and gray
ell roads have replaced the old mud
highways over many miles Of turnpike.
On the completion of road the task of
maintaining 1t is assumed by the coun-
ty authorities. The gratifying feature
of the matter Is the evidence it affords
Of the appreciation by the farmers in
terested Of the added value given to
the farm by good roads. Much of the
opposition to the good roads movement
has come from the class which should
be quick to engage In 1t and as ready
to pay proper share Of Its cost. II Is
a time saving and money saving in
vestment for them.

all grading material should be taken
from the lower ditch, and culverts
should be supplied wherever water
ways occur. The tendency of road
workers to attempt to carry water long
distances in upper bitches should be
and into the roadway, softening up the
grade. The only obstruction to the
flow of water down these slopes should
be the grade. which would force the
storm water into the low places, where
1t could be quickly put across the road

OIL SPRlNkLED ROADS.
How to Obviate Their Only Serious
DISADVANTAGE.


There are advantages and disadvan-
tages In oil sprinkled roads, according
to the experience of the park commits
sioners in San Francisco. The dust is
certainly laid, and driving In the parks
where the roadways have been thus
treated Is freed from the discomfort Of
dirt in the eyes and lungs of drivers
and horses, while the foliage and grass
along the highways are as green as if
daily rain washed.
Complaints of the horse owners are
confined to the injury done their cloth
Ing and their vehicles by the flying bits
of oil soaked sand. This last the COM
missioners promise to remedy. When
the roads have become sufficiently
packed, they will be covered with a
thin layer of white sand.
There is a hint in this last for road
makers elsewhere, as sprinkling with
oil instead of water has become wide
spread this summer, particularly in the
south, where the good roads movement
Is enjoying a belated popularity. An
other hint to be borrowed from the
Californians Is in using the oil hot,
whereby the materials of the roadbed
are practically cemented.

Practical Pointa About Swine.

Pumpkins for hogs can be kept quite
late in the fall by placing on shelves
in barn where they will be dried.
OF course they should be fed out be-
fore very cold weather arrives.
Movable pens are a good investment
on any farm where hogs are raised.
The animals can be kept clean and
healthy If these are used, and by NOV
ing from place to place the manure is
more evenly distributed.
Skimmilk and corn tend to produce
strong bone and large and vigorous
hog. An exclusive corn diet is not ad-
visable, for weak bone and excessive
fat usually result.-American Agricul-
turist.

Quick and Easy Potato Picking.

Picking is much easier done than for
merly. Now the average potato grower
uses a horse hitched to n narrow sled
of 2 by for runners, about eight
feet long, with Stats nailed upon run
ners crosswise, for bottom eighteen
or twenty inches long. He places upon
this sled anywhere from five to seven
potato boxes made to hold one bushel.
The size is twelve inches wide, ten
deep and twenty-five long, outside
measurements. Start the horse be-
tween the first two rows of dug pota-
toes. The picking is usually done by
the younger members of the family If
there be any, one picking from each
side into the boxes on the sled. If
wish to sort the potatoes at this time,
one box Is used for the unstable
stock, the remainder for the market
potatoes. When the boxes are full, they
are pulled off on one side Of the sled,
and it is again filled with empty boxes.
Proceed as before. working across and
back to suit your convenience. This
method, says Orange Judd Farmer,
leaves the boxes Of potatoes in bunch
es, so that loading for the cellar or
market is done much quicker.

Get The borcrs punched out during

Now look OFT for the yellows in the
peach orchard. A sure sign Is pre-
mature fruit. Is there limb contain
ing highly colored fruit ripening away
ahead of the others? Then that tree
has the yellows and ought to be
grubbed out.
Please be vigilant now in looking for

AS soon as the pods of cabbage seed
show dark red seed inside when
broken open it is time to harvest. Most
people wait until the pods are ripe
and brown and the seeds black. This
is mistake.
When frosts seem imminent, cut
stalks of sweet corn which still have
ears suitable for table use and store
them in a building. The husks will
protect the ears, they will ripen no
further on account Of the loss of sap
and often remain in perfect condition
for two weeks.
Use only male asparagus plants

nent bed. They make stronger roots.
larger stalks and are more productive.
Cut out those plants when seed begins
to form, and when seedlings are old
enough to bear seed they can also be
destroyed.

the records and see that more of the
Northern than of the Southern states
have voted unbrokenly and "solidly'' for
their ticket. And yet the Republicans
have the effrontery to throw il up to the
South as something highly biamable. The
fact IS. that the South has never been
solid an instant. She has given way to
others, and has never voted for her own
man, and it is high time. if we are going
to keep our young men with us and pre-
