The Manure Spreader.

This department is not for the pur-
pose of advertising tools or imple-
ments, and no such article that is sold
is ever mentioned by the manufactur-
ers name. There are implements and
conveniences, however, made by differ
ent manufacturers which should find a
place on every farm, and one of them
is the manure-spreader, of which there
are several good makes.
No one can appreciate the value of
this implement until he has used 1t.
1t Is not only a labor-saver, but it
spreads the manure in any quantity
desired, and spreads it evenly. All Of
its operations are controlled from the
drivers seat. The work Of manure
spreading should be in operation from
now on more or less through the win
ter, and no farmer can make a better
investment than to have this imple-
ment. 1t will give him added years Of
life in the labor it will save him, and
enable him to grow better crops.

eight inches long, one and one-half
inches thick and three inches wide.
Bore an inch hole in the center of it,
into which to put handle. Then take
six six-inch spikes or ten-penny nails
and drive into this strip at equal dis
tances apart. To make the hoe take
a portion Of an old cross-cut saw blade,
or have the blacksmith fashion a piece
of iron for you, bend over one edge
an inch so that it may be riveted to
the piece Of wood. Then fasten the
handle in the hole and your tool is
ready for use. The illustration plain
ly shows how the details are per-
fected.

Cure TO STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 Especially
One Of the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa county is that OF
Mrs. Minnie Hart Of this place. Mrs.
Hart was in bed for eight months and
when she was able to sit up she was
all drawn up on one side and could
not walk across the room. Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking OF
her cure MIs. Hart says:
"Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after / was in bed for eight months and
l know the cure was complete for that
was three years ago and have not
been down since. In four weeks from
the time started taking them 1 was
able to make my garden. Nobody can
know how thankful l am to be cured
or how much l feel l owe to Dodd's
Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the Kid
neys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and nine tenths of the
suffering the human family is heir to,
will disappear.

Gate that Will Not Sag.

The accompanying illustration repre-
sents a form of farm gate, which is
cheap, durable, easily made, easily op-
Grated and will not sag with years Of

any reasonable length desired. The
Top bar is a twenty-four foot stick. The
bar Is fastened to the gate post by
means of a pin on which the gate

of the top bar is filled with sufficient
field stones to almost balance the gate

A story is told of a distinguished
diplomat from Japan who was the
guest of honor at dinner in Wash

more to eat?" During the remaining
six courses he opened his mouth for

When his abstemiousness was COM

Farm Notes.

Farm Notes.
High and gravelly soil is the best
for fruit trees.
The farm work should always be
kept in advance of the season.
The profitable culture of the soil de-
pends upon its thoroughness.
Good stock will not sustain its ex-
cellence long If 1t is not well cared for.
The nature of farm life is, in no
small degree, conducive to economy.
Premature cooling of the milk be-
fore setting will injure the butter
yield.
A pedigree is simply a certificate Of
character, and unless 1t shows good
character it is Of no practical value.
1t Is much better to use for breed
ing animals Of average size smooth,
round, plump and intensely active and
vigorous.
Clean up the farm, and its value
will be increased, and when It is clean
ed and cleared 1t will cultivate more
easily ana cheaply.
An unfruitful orchard may often be
brought into bearing by heavy ap-
plicatlon OF good stable manure scat.

While the Buff Plymouth Rock is no
better than the well-known barred, 1t
has proved itself better than the white
sort, and, as breed for fanciers. has
become very popular. AS a practical
FOWL, we consider it not as good as
the barred, for with US it has shown
some weaknesses that the older strain
does not have. 1t must not be inferred,
however, that this is likely to be the
case with all Of them, for many breed
ers consider them even better than
the barred. They are similar in size
and form, lay well, are good mothers
and the carcass is quite like the bar.

Potatoes as Hog Feed.

Potatoes are quite largely fed to
hogs, but it is found advisable to boil
them. In the New England States
they are fed extensively, being boiled
in milk and mixed with meal in a bar
rel. Frequently several bushels are
boiled, at time, and when mixed with
cornmeal make an appetizing mess.
The only fault to be found with this
combination is that it is badly out Of
balance. The potatoes are rich in
starch and so is the corn. To such of
our readers as are still following the
old practice we would advise the sub
stitution Of bran or of ground oats for
the cornmeal. This would make a
fairly well-balanced ration. The Ca
nadians say that potatoes have a good
effect on the quality of bacon pro-
duced. There is probably no better
use to which small potatoes may be
put than this.-Exchange.

stiff wooden structure strapped and
bolted at the corner. On this barbed,
plain or common wire is fastened. 1t
is well to drive ring over the top end
of the large gate post to keep it from
wearing or splitting, and also to attach
an iron plate to the underside of the
top bar where it rests on the post.

The Marketable Hog.

Hogs to be marketable at the high
est prices must be largely of uniform
type or at least the types must ap-
proach in uniformity. The buyers in
the great markets of the country carry
in their minds eye the style of the
hog they think will make the most sal
able pork. The tendency to gravitate
toward one type is, therefore, marked
The buyer is inclined to be arbitrary.
He cannot tell why he prefers GER
tain type, but sticks to it that that
type is the kind he wants. This varies
also in different markets, both at home
and abroad. The English buyer who
has been buying bacon hogs for many
years has in his mind very different
type from the type of the man that in
the Chicago market has been buying
lard hogs all his life. This variable
type the raiser Of hogs has to consider
and 1t both hinders and helps him in
improving his herd. 1t helps him in
improving his herd. 1t helps him while
his animals are far below that type,
but 1t hinders him as soon as he has
reached the type Of hog in the mind
Of the buyer, for he cannot progress
beyond it except at loss to himself.
This fact has been the greatest obsta-
Gle in the improving of the bone and
stamina of hogs raised in the corn belt.
To grow potatoes easily the grower
should be supplied with all necessary
machinery. In addition to the plow, a
spring-tooth harrow, roller and two
horse cultivator, with which almost
every farmer is supplied, should be
used; it is also essential to have
planter, digger, weeder, smoothing har-
row, low wagon with platform and
number of bushel crates. A four row
barrel sprayer is very useful for spray
ing potatoes, to prevent blight and to
kill bugs, but can be dispensed with
and the work done with cheaper ma
chinery.
