Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier - food
and a medicine. 1t is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to it's endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.

Digestihle.

Corn 80 ~ 667 49,
Alfalfa91.h 40 800 ~
Ii will be observed that alfalfa
hay is particularly rich in protein
and that corn contains a larger
percent of carbohydrates or
strachy material. 1t would be
much better to feed a mixture G
these two feeds to cattle than
either one separately. A mixture
in the proportion of one pound of
corn to two and one-half pounds
of alfalfa hay will contain dry
matter, protein and corbo-hy-
drates and fat in about the right
proportion. If alfalfa were fed
alone the animals would get rela-
lively too much protein and too
little carbohydrates. On the
other hand if fed corn alone thew
would receive relatively too little
protein and too much Carbhy-
dratcs. 1t is better to mix them.
1t is generally claimed by far
mcrs that land will be greatly
damaged if cattle or any other
stock are turned on it while it is
wet. 1t often happens that our
fields contain considerable feed
which would go to waste if not
fed, in time. Will it damage
the land # cattle are turned on
the fields while the soil is wet?
A. L. N.
Answer:--lt is quite true that
a soil may be injured by tramp
ing it Or working it while it is too
wet. This is especially true of
clayey soils. Sandy soils may BE
trampcd OF worked when they
are wet without ~injuring the soil
materially The tramping OF wet
soils puddles them, or in other
words causes the soil PARTICLES to
come closer together, and be-
cause of this they adhere more
strongly together than if they
were further apart, aud in this
manner a clod is formed. Tramp
ing a wet soil does not change
the chemical com position of j..
o does ii influence the amount
OF plant food which it contain,
but it does injure the physical
structure OF the soil IN that 1t

Look we'll at the condition of
your orchard now. Are your
peach trees afflicted with boars?
, Their presence is noticeable by
gummy substance having formed
on the tree at or near the surface
of the ground. Dig them out
with a sharp knife or some sharp
instrument, put a shovel full OF
wood ashes around the tree and
cover it with dirt.
Don't allow cows to run in
your orchard. The biting off of
small aud tender twigs of fruit
trees bycows on horsesisin some
degree poisonous to the tree.
Better mark it down. No stock
in the orchard. At least one
half of the home orchards of our
county have been entirely ruined
by stock.
In Planting a tree from the.
nursery don't be afraid Of the
knife. After having the tree set
out and the dirt fairly packed
among aud around its roots cut
top off twelve or fifteen inches
abve the ground. In the spring
when it begins to grow keep all
the sprouts Off except three or
four near the top which will make
the branches Of your tree.
The Japan plum is fast becom-
