CHANGE FOOD
Some Very Fine Results Follow.

The wrong kind Of food will put the
body in such diseased condition that
no medicines will cure 1t. There is no
way but to change food. A man in Mo.
says:
For 2 years was troubled so with
my nerves that sometimes I was pros
trated and could hardly ever get in a
full month at my work.
"My stomach, back and head would
throb so I could get no rest at night
except by fits and starts. and always
had distressing pains.
Il was quite certain the trouble came
from my stomach, but two physicians
could not help me and all the tonics
failed and SO finally l turned to food.
when I had studied up on food and
learned what might be expected from
leaving of meat and the regular food
had been living on, I felt that a
change to Grape-Nuts would be just
what was required, so went to eat
ing it.
From the start got stronger and
better until was well again. and from
that time haven't used bit Of medt-
cine, for I haven't needed any.
81 am so much better in every way,
sleep soundly nowadays and am free
from the bad dreams. Indeed. this
food has made such q great change
in me that my wife and daughter have
taken it up and we are never without
Grape-Nuts on our table nowadays.
It is a wonderful sustainer, and we
frequently have nothing. else at all
but a saucer Of Grape-Nuts and cream

the tonics that succeed where all the
bottled, tonics and drugs fail. Ten

KILLING PRAIRIE WOLVES.
Indian Boy, Initiating Their Cry;
Brings Them in Range Of
His Rifle.

We struck out across the sandy bed Of
the lower end of Death Valley toward 9
low range of blue-gray hills, where BOZ
said there were lots of coyotes and
foxes. 1t was at least three miles over
to the hills and the shadows of night
were falling when we dropped down be.

far across the valley, the call of q wan

stone some 30 feet beyond Bob, and
neither seeing nor smelling us, the
timid little wolf stood for an instant as

the half-breed turned over so as to get

saw nothing. heard next to nothing, the
coyote leaped into the air with a wild
cry, turned over once and fell to lie
silent in his tracks.
Attracted BY the cry. another of the
band trotted out into a little patch of
light cast by the now rising moon, Just
in time to stop the bullet from my rifle.
OF course, the report Of the gun stopped
the sport for the night in that locality,
and so we moved over nearer to camp.

AN EFFECTIVE POLE DRAG:
For Some Kinds Of Work It Is More
Serviceable and Useful Than
the Roller.

A very serviceable implement on my
farm for years has been a pole drag. I
find it better than a roller for some
work, because it will level and pulver-
ize without cracking the soil. The one
I have is like the cut, made Of three
hardwood poles. six inches in dame

USING THE DISC HARROW.
A Very Ehacient Implement, But Only
When Handled in Just the
Right Way.

The disc as form of soil cultivator
Is becoming constantly more popular;
but it must be used right to be effective.
An expert with the disc harrow says:
I want to say an encouraging word
for the disc harrow. Not all soils are
adapted for it's use-exceedingly stony
land is ill-fitted for its use, nor perhaps
the heavy, sticky clays. But upon loamy
soils that are loose and upon which sod
quickly forms after seeding there is no
tool to compare to the heavy disc. It
seems a waste Of money to buy the
small light machines. Farmers often
say: my team is light, I cannot draw
those big 20-inch discs, weighted" All
right, then you won't do much business.
These small teams always mean poor
cultivation-upon these heavy sods
there must be given the draft of three or
four horses of good weight-not less
than 1000 pounds. Upon the machine
besides the driver may be added an ex-
ira load of stone to put the discs down
Ut least five inches, and If the sod is not
torn up go deeper. The field may look
uneven when finished. but a spring
tooth or smoothing harrow will do the
!eveling and the soil will have been
thoroughly mixed and the cultivation If
prolonged for two weeks will approx
mate the old-fashioned summer fallow.
And if carried along periodically for
four to six weeks it will reduce the stub
born quack grass. Cheap disc sharpen
ers are upon the market costing not
more than $3.50 to 50 that will do the
work effectually. These sharp discs
will do more work with less weight and
somewhat reduced draft.

Farmers Were Buncoed BADLY.

@-&S1o J" S@S ~s113SVS0 1S01ys
The farmers in several states tried
to get laws passed last winter to pro-
tect them against reckless automobile
drivers, but in nearly every case were
sold out: for the laws that were en-
acted were actually dictated by. auto
makers, in their interests. In some
states the country road speed limit
was raised from ten miles IN. hour to
20. and farmers hands were tied so
they can do nothing. In short, the
rural people were buncoed.-Farm

such reliable remedy for colds and
