A Good Seed Bed.

The Importance Of having land made
well pulverized and mellow before
seeds are sown or planted in 1t Is not
all in the fact that the roots penetrate
it better when SO than when 1t Is In
coarse Jumps, and thus find more cas-
lily the plant food that is in 1t, though
this Is an important consideration, but
it is true that the seed terminates more
rapidly after two OR three days. and
with some varieties a week, before 1t
comes up in soil that is but half work
ed, In which, by the way. much seed
may fail to germinate at all. The soil
that is fine and mellow fits closely
around the seed and gives supply OF
moisture to all parts alike. 1t excludes
the drying air, and yet it is more even
ly warmed by a bright sun, which helps
to draw up moisture from below by
capillary attraction. An extra day
spent in putting a field in good condi-
ton before the seed Is put In will not
only hasten the growth and maturity
of the crop, but will increase Its
amount.-Exchange.

inexpensive Corn Marker.

inexpensive Corn Marker.
Many of the expensive corn markers
are quite complicated. hence farmers
give up using them and go back to the
old methods. The one shown In the
illustration is so simple and so inexpen-
sive to construct that any farmer with
considerable area to put into corn
will find 1t we'll worth having.
The construction can be readily seen
from the cut, and by following the d.
mensions given one ought to expert
ence no difficulty in making this mark

A HANDY BARREL

After he has satisfied himself that
the contents are in good condition he
can replace the stave, and it will be
held firmly in proper position by the
hoops.
Another advantage is that In this
way fresh air can at any time be ad-
mitted to all parts Of the barrel, and
that this will prove a boon in the case

During the operation the legs are tied

How to Grow Cow Peas.

How to Grow Cow Peas.
To grow cow peas the soil should be
prepared the same as for the corn crop,
and If the best result, especially in the
seed CROP Is desired. some fertilizer
should be used. The varieties selected
should be those that will ripen the crop
before early fall frosts, hence In North
these sorts should be the early ones,
such as Warren's extra early and Early
Blackeye. The later varieties may be
grown with success in all sections of
the South. According to the section
the seed should be sown from the mid
die of May to the middle Of June.
and be drilled in at the rate of
twelve pounds per acre, drilling
them in rows from two and one
half feet to three feet apart each
way, so that clean culture, which is as
sential, may be given them. Cultiva-
tion should be carried on as with corn
and continued as long as the vines do
not interfere with the work.
Farm Hints.
Neighborhoods must pull together In
these tunes.
Milk Is a great egg food, as it is
chemically similar to the white Of an
egg.
Massachusetts, farmers who have
tried it do not give encouraging reports
Of alfalfa.
Corn should be grown extensively,
and the silo is the cheapest method Of
preserving it.
English beans are upright, rank,
bushy growers and have large, oval,
coarse pods, and they are usually she'll
ed and eaten as peas. They are rich in
flavor.
Don't keep drug store for your poul-
try. They will do great deal better
If left alone than to be compelled to
take drugs. teas and all sorts Of condi-
ton powders Doctor only when sick-
ness appears.

two horses. Each Of the three runners
Is two feet long and made Of two-by-

runners a shown. and the pole fasten-

The side arm is fastened to the sled

Grafton a rope is simply attached tc
the shoe of the marker and the other
end hooked to the singletree. The mark.

broken by coming in contact with

of the regrinding was that the bran

WHERE PAIN HURTS MOST.

writer says:
 "A sharp definition must be drawn here between irritation and pain. Irritation Is not pain but only frequent cause of 1t. Thus. a crumb lodged in the larynx near the vocal cords produced violent irrita- tion and prolonged coughing, which often results in actual pain. So. too. fly or speck of dust in the eye sets up violent irritation and inflammation, followed by acute pain. Of the surface of the body the finger tips and the end of the tongue are most sensitive; for instance, a burn on the fingers Is much inore painful than one on the back would be. while one on the tongue would be more painful still

 Said Hobson very earnestly:

 ITO what do you attribute your mag netic power over women?"
 That question Is entirely wrong," was the quick response.
 There has been no such thing as my personal magnetism that has caused wo- mems enthusiasm. Women have intense thought of hero worship. With eager im- agination they idolize an entirely subject i've, imaginary hero, the personifcation of patriotic qualities. In my case they confused this image of subjective hero which they had conjured up with-one- Hobson."
