HELEN MOONS CASE.

New Providence, La, Oct. 13th.--The
wonderful case of little three year old
Helen Moon continues to be the talk
Of the neighborhood and everyone is
rejoicing with Mr.. and Mrs. E. V. Moon,
the happy father and mother.
1t will be remembered that this
sweet little girl was given up by the
doctors with Dropsy. She was so far
gone that her eyes were closed up and
her body bloated till it was purple.
After everything else had failed
Dodd's Kidney Pills were used and to
the joy and surprise of everyone she
commenced to improve.
This improvement resulted in com
plete good health and she continues to
keep strong and well and without the
slightest symptom of the Dropsy left.
The doctors are as much bewildered
as anyone at the wonderful cure of
this desperate case.

STARTING THE BURROWS.
II the First Are Crooked 1t Is Hard to
Make Amy Straight Ones
Afterward.

Good blowing requires a knowl.
edge of the principles of soil turn.
ing, and requires experience in doing
the work. If the first burrows are
run carelessly or incorrectly it will
be found exceedingly difficult to do a
good job. The blowing OF old fields
is less difficult than the blowing Of
new ones, for the reason that the
old fields have landmarks that are
easily understood. This is, of course,
true only if the blowing of former
years has been correct. 1t is a
somewhat difficult task to turn
straight burrows across a new
field with nothing to serve as a guide
but some object IN the further side.
The skilled farmer should not in
trust the turning of the first fur
rows to the boy or the unskilled hired
hand. If the first burrows are
crooked it is difficult to make any
straight ones afterward. The best
plowman will find it difficult to corr
rect the errors Of his predecessors.
Even the skilled plowman will not
find 1t an easy matter to the
first furrow straight ahead of him
and keep his team well under con-
troll. If the field is to be plowed on
the lands plan, then there is an
added reason why the best plowman
on the farm should take the mat
ter in hand, for there will be sew
eral first" burrows to pillow. The
first burrows are the patterns Of all
that are to follow them. Landmarks
set up on opposite sides of the field
will assist the plowman in making his
furrow straight whether he be skilled
or a novice.-Farmers' Review.

KEEP Il pULLETs.
rae Wise Po~uItryman Can Reap q
Rich Reward This Year by Being
Conservative.

Prices of eggs hold up well and there
Il NO reason why they should be lower
till next spring, even if they are then
in fact there is every indication that
they will be higher right along. Every
keeper of hens, whether a small flock
or a large number, ought to plan to
reap a harvest from this fact.
The first thing to do is to help the
moulting hens to get their new dress
on just as soon as possible; give them
good, dry quarters at night and a
chance to get to such during the day
should it rain; feed literally with a
variety of food including some linseed
meal, sunfiower seed or green cut
bone. The next thing to do is to keep
all the likely pullets.
Do not be led into selling a single
pullet just because the prices for
spring chickens are good. A pullet
well fed from now on will gain in
flesh or weight till she begins to lay,
then for awhile her keeping is at a
daily profit.
When she is through laying, if you
are disposed to sell her she will bring
you nearly as much, if not just as
much on the market as a hen as she
will now as a spring chicken. Thst's
one advantage the pullet has over the
cockerel. AS he grows from a spring
chicken to a rooster he loses in price
as he increases in weight, and in the
vast majority of cases is a useles!
boarder all the while. Get rid of al
many of them as you car spare a.
once and make room for the pullets.
Having decided what pullets ar,
worthy of being wintered, feed then
from now on to produce growth ant
eggs. Be liberal with your feed, and i
the fowls + running at large a fee,
of corr just before going to roost will
not make them overly fat. A poor
scrawny hen is not likely to produc,
many eggs.
When we advise saving every likel,
pullet we mean the late Matched one
as well as the early ones. They will
all keep growing till they lay if fed an
cared for as suggested above. TIL
early Matched ones should begin to la,
in a few weeks now and the other
should follow right along as they reacl
the proper age.
Keep the pullets.-Farmer's Voice.

ly low to receive the bed from the
wagon, the rope passes from one pull
ley toward the side of the barn floor,
then through a hole near the top of
the wlndlass OF revolving pillar, as
shown in the engraving, and out
again to the other pulley.
The windlass may consist of a six
inch cylindrical post which receives
the rope nea its top, while at a con
~venient height from the floor are
holes for the insertion of levers used
in turning. The wagon being driven
into place, the stretchers are slipped
over each end of the bed, which is
then quickly and easily drawn to the
top by revolving the windlass. When
sufficiently high one of the levers is
left in place with the outer end rest
ing against some upright timber Of
the barn frame and thus holds it Sc

lower Tar of the stretcher, the rope
may terminate in a ring, which slips
over an iron hook. These hooks are
permanently fastened to the ladders
at suitable points where they will
not interfere with anything else

will be of some worth as a fertilizer.
The dust from soft wood is of little

Notwithstanding the man knew how he

sensitive about it, and any reference to it
was resented promptly and with emphasis.
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the

moment the visitor entered the room until
he had a chance to speak to his mother, re-

asked so that everybody could hear.
"Of course it is" she replied, with a proper
degree of horror.
HBut isn't it right to tell one just some
times?" he persisted.
"Well," she hesitated, possibly if one is
told to spare the feelings of some person it
might be excused"
"And why does my little man ask such a
question:" inquired the gentleman very
coaxingly.
Because" responded the boy, II wanted
to say your nose wasn't a bit red, if some.
boay else wasn't going to say it pretty soon.'
Later when the culprit was going to pun
ishment he asked his mother if she wouldn't
have licked him just the same if he had
told the truth.

they call "a paEer tiger" When a man

they call "a hum back making a bow"
A spendthrift they compare to "a

Bell sheep a. Car Leader.

A story comes from Haley, Idaho,
about three ewes and a wether that
have been taught to lead sheep into
cars in which they + to be loaded.
On each Of the leaders is a bell. The
sheep that are to be loaded follow
one of these bell sheep into the car.
The owner goes with the leader to
keep the bell from ringing when tho
car is full, and the bell sheep is going
out, as that might cause the sheep
to file out again. The same sheep
have been taught to lead flocks Of
sheep through the town to the stock
yards. For these services the owners
receive a small fee, ranging from rs
10 so cents per trip.

LIFTING ARRANGEMENT.
Fer Removing BED or Ladders from

A good lifting arrangement for re-
moving bed or ladders from the wag'

joists Of the loft over the barn floor,
at proper distances, are chained two
pulleys. Over each of these passes
a half-inch rope, n end of which
is connected with a stretcher large
enough to slip over the end Of the
wagon bed. The upper crossbar of
the stretcher may simply have a deep
notch at each end, just wide enough
to receive the rope. A knot in the
latter just below the stick serves to
hold it in place. The lower bar is a
trife longer and has the rope Sc.
curely tied at each end. Surprising
now that the stretchers are sufficient

A heavy shipment of corn from the
farm is nothing to be proud of, 1t is
an evidence of poor farming methods.
Annual assessment levied on the fer
tility of the soil, and the proceeds
shipped away in that form, is ruinous.
We are a me~at-eating people. The
grain is but a small part Of the corn
stalk. When corn is sold, the stalks
are in many instances worse than
wasted. If the cor crop is fed on the
farm and its equivalent sold in beef
and dairy products, the soil is %contin-
ually increasing in fertility.--Farm

Importance Of Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is rapidly growing in i'm
portance, and becoming a considerable
factor in the enlargement of the
meat supply, largely taking the place
of corn in feeding west Of the Mis-
sissippi valley. The area is enlarg-
ing, and the first cutting of this
year is very large. Horses thrive on
it with little grain; cattle fatten ON
it with a finish of corn, and in it's
use the hog has become a hay-eating
animal. 1t is, to an increasing ex-
tent, taking the place of range
grasses in the economy of the cattle
industry, and the change will cause
an enlargement rather than a de-
crease of the meat supply.
