A Justified KICK.

Here is complaint and one which II
we'll made from farmer friend. He
says that when farmers hire town me-
chanics to build house or barn for
them there seems to be some sort of all
unwritten law which requires the
farmer to pay the mechanics their reg
ular town wages and in addition fur
nish them first class farm board. He
says that in rebuilding his house the
past summer his wife cooked no less
than $50 meals for the mechanics en-
ployed. Near him another gang of
town mechanics had a contract job and
had to drive five miles to and from
work and board themselves. He fur
Their says that the man to whom he
sold his apples sent gang of men to
pick them, and thirteen men and boys
had to be furnished dinner, and yet
when he goes to trade in town with
this same man an invitation to dinner
is never expected. He thinks this sort
of sponging on the good nature and
hospitality of the farmer is carried too
far and that where an overworked wife
is compelled to feed the crowd of town
worlAmen reasonable charge-he says
Is cents-should be deducted from the
daily wage of each man so fed, and we
believe he is about right Some folks
think that good food costs nothing on
the farm. Keep up your kick, brother

work For the stomach.

For the average healthy man l think
there is something to be said in favor
of a good meal even if trifle heavy
now and then. l believe it is a fact
that the human stomach, although it
is not gizzard, like that of a goose,
still does its work better when slightly
stretched, just as the lungs work bet
ter with deep inhalations induced by
bodily exercise in the open air.-Lon-

rEcLA1M1NG THE PEAT MARSH.

rcECLAIMING THE PEAT MARSH.
We have an inquiry as how best
to reclaim peat marsh. 1t is at best
somewhat slow process. The first
step is thorough drainage. The next
best step is to pasture it for two or
three years to compact the spongy sur
face and assist the natural process of
decay of the fibrous roots, which be-
gins just as soon as the water is re-
moved. 1t took about five years under
this kind of treatment to subdue
marsh of this sort we once reclaimed.
At the end of that time it was possible
to pillow it and get it into shape for a
crop, flax being the best first crop.
These peat marshes, Notwithstanding
the rich appearance of the soil, are de-
ficient in nitrogen, and the best results
will be obtained by giving them a
heavy coat of barnyard manure. In
some places the fibrous turf is cut as
soon as the marsh is drained and first
dried and then burned, but this method
is too expensive and really wasteful,
as the decomposed turf is worth far
more to the soil than the ashes. After
a few years the soil becomes tanned
and productive and quite frequently
the choicest land on the farm. Corn
will almost always fail on such land
when first reclaimed, and no crops will
do better than potatoes and timothy.

PURE FOOD LAWS.

Minnesota has for years been waging
a war on all adulterated food products,
having now the most effective and
stringent laws on this subject of any
western state. When you buy food
product in manufactured state at any
store in Minnesota you will find it Ia
beled with the formula of it's compost
ton, and if adulterated it will be so
branded. The result is that one can
buy pure vinegar, spices, oils, maple
sugar and sirups, honey, coffee and a
score of other commodities and actually
know he is getting what he buys. 1t is
a disgrace that other states in other
lines equally as progressive as Mime
sofa should have no trace of a pure
food law upon their statute books.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years IL has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly tho
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach. thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
tho juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catsrrh of the Stomach.
