Would You
Like TO Feel
YoungAgain?

Old people certainly have bad
feelings that those below fifty
hardly understand.
1t is discouraging to find that
little tasks that ONCE were easy
are now very hard.
Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst Of all is that feeling of
languor, of inability to act, Of
wearincss at trifing excrtion.
Nothing will make the old young
again, but Ninol will prevent
ninety-ninc out Of one hundred old
people from feek,ng So Oka
There is no humbug about it.
We found out about Ninol and tried
it every way before We decided to
put it on the market and guarantee
it. Now we believe that almost
any tired, discouraged old person
who will take a bottle of Ninol will
feel better right away.
1t will increase their strength,
appetite, and brighten their spirits.
1t does this BY nourishing. In
old people, the digestion be-
comes feeble. Vinol supplies quick
noarishnent and helps the food to
n0urish. Don't blame the old
folks for being blue and cross.
Take home a bottle of Vinol.
Money back if it isn't helpful.

OFFICIAL FORECAST OF
THE SENATE PROGRAM

Washington, Dec. mo tariff legis-
lation, no extra session. cautious legis-
lation on trusts. and the passage of
Cuban reciprocity bill or treaty. is the
program OF the Senate leaders, accord
ing to Senator Perkins. who is MEM
Der of the steering committee and who
has consulted many colleagues on the
Senatorial program.
IF a suitable bill can be framed for
the regulation OF the trusts" said Per-
kins tonight, IL am convinced that a
majority In the Senate will favor It.
But there is strong opposition to tariff
legislation. either now or at an extra
session. Unless there is greater de-
mand than is now apparent, the whole
tarlff question will go over until next
December, at the earliest.
Regarding Cuban reciprocity. mus
say that the prospects favor the pas
sage of bill granting a 20 per cent re-
cation of the treaty carrying out the
same ends. While Senator Elkins and
one or two others declare they are in
surgents as ever, fail TO find the
strong front that was presented last
session, and with the pressure of the
Administration so long exerted It is
plain to me that something must give
way. II too much is asked the oppo-
sition may develop, but If the Presi-
dent is content with 20 per cent re-
duction he probably will get It,"

Bronze Gra.. Beat. Tlmotbx.

Bronze grass and timothy were
grown at the North Dakota station
to compare the yields of green grass
and to study their relative value for
hay, considering their yield and chem
ical composition. In five cuttings dur
ing the season bronze grass yielded
5,537.6 pounds of green grass, or
1888 pounds of dry matter per acre,
and timothy 4,6s1.6 pounds of green
forage, or 1,42S.s pounds of dry mat
ter. The results were decidedly in
favor of bronze grass for permanent
pasture. Bronze hay contained about,
twice as much protein as timothy,
and no more fiber than the average
for timothy grown in different parts
of the country. Owing to it's larger
root system, bronze grass is consid-
cred a better humus producer. and
soil improver than timothy. !,

The small corn crop oflast year has
SO affected the stock market as to
prove very clearly the Importance of
this crop, and 1t lis also evident that
too much consideration cannot be
given to the present seasons crop, as
a means of overcoming the shortage
from last year. A butcher, tdeploring
the high price Of meats, said to the
writer: II will have to close out my
business because people are buying as
little meat as possible" He also said:
1T is. costing me twice as much for
feed for my horse as it did a yearago."
Thus it is evident that the supply of
farm products very markedly affect
all conditions of life.
Now, in view of these facts tits inn
portant.that the corn crop have intelli-
gent care. The experiments of pro-
gressive farmers in recent years show
that no general crop returns so largely
for cultivation; but the old ruiz. of
three times going over the corn field
is out of date.
If the few weeks following the plant
ing after the corn is up prove to be
cool. often~the weeds get a start.
Weedsthrive, victor dry, warm or cold,
and they must be- kept in check if the
corn is to get start. The weeder is
the implement that will help the farm
err to keep his corn clean, and it is
coming into use more and more every
year. A good farmer of our acquaint-
ance has practiced going over the corn
with the weeder' each way and then
following with the cultivator at each
successive cultivation. "A man with
horse and weeder will go over more
than twice the acreage that man with
double team and cultivator can The
weeder levels the ground and works
through the hills, just where the work
is needed.
If there are doubts as to the profits
of so much labor on a corn crop, select
two corn. fields and give one the old
time three civilizations and keep the
other field we'll stirred, charging up to
the latter the cost of extra labor ex-
pended and ascertain at corn gather
ing time if it pays.--Rural World.
