Cut the Grass Crop Early.

Ripe hay is poor stuff, not worth
the cutting, yet many men consider
only the weight obtained regardless
of the amount of nutriment it contains.
There is little profit in feeding saw
dust to a COW, whether it comes from
a sawmill or a field full of ripe grass,
but because the hay does not show
it's poverty as milk producer, many
men keep on feeding the cow a good,
big ration of overripe hay, and Their
wonder that there are no returns in
the milk pail-Farm and Home

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY
Still a Successful Business Man.

A man who had both jaws shot away
had trouble eating ordinary food but
found a food-drink that supplies the
nutriment needed. He says:
Il have been an invalid since the
siege of Vicksburg, in 1866, where was
wounded by a Mimic ball passing
through my head and causing the en-
tire loss of my jaws. was drummer
boy and at the time was leading Skin
mish line, carrying gun. Since that
time have been awarded the medal OF
honor from the Congress of the United
States for gallantry on the field.
1.-The consequences of my wound
were dyspepsia in it's most aggravated
form and finally proved ordinary cof-
fee was very hard on my stomach so
tried Postum and got better. Then l
tried common coffee again and got
worse. 1 did this several times and
finally as Postum helped me every
time | continued to use it, and how
often I think that if the Government
had issued Postum to us in the Army
how much better it would have been
for the soldier boys than coffee.
Coffee constipates me and Postum
does not; coffee makes me spit up my
food. Postum does not; coffee keeps me
awake nights, Postum does not. There
is no doubt coffee is too much OF a
stimulant for most people and is the
cause of nearly all the constipation.

The motion is that of a walking beam.
First the weight draws up the bucket.
Water running into the bucket fills it,
and it's weight carries it down, lifting
the weighted end. When it strikes the
ground, the valve is forced up, letting
the water out. Relieved of its weight,
the bucket rises, only to fill and descend
again.
The valve in the cut shows the loose
plug with head that completes the
bucket valve. 1t has pin, or spike,

by water until forced up from below.

fact for the plain truth is often dis
tasteful, but we don't see how we can
get away from 1t. Nobody has TO vote
for either Keuney or Addicks; nobody
is compelled to vote for their creatures
Therefore. when after a series Of con'
tests Kenncy is chosen as the Demo

mated.
