Homemade Marker.

The marker shown is a handy tool
on any farm and while it is especially
useful in the garden, it may be oper-
ated for larger areas. The marker Is
shown complete at figure three in the
cut. Cut a plank twelve inches wide
by two inches thick, the desired length
The runners are cut from plank IN the
form shown at figure one.
By cutting a groove as shown in the
runner just wide enough to let in the
plank greater strength is secured than
would be possible if the runners were
simply nailed to the plank. As the
horse pulls forward the notch offers
considerable resistance which prevents
the runners from being knocked Oh
should the marker strike some obstruc-
ton.
At figure two is shown q piece OF
hoop iron whichis designed to nail over
the top of the runner and plank thus
giving additional strength. A marker
made as directed will last for years

place. We are now eating the second
crop from the perpetual, and it is still
growing fresh and green, and in bloom

this pea with a good deal Of interest.

size and fine quality. We had some
friends at dinner a few days ago and
all were delighted with the quality of
this pea.

The Cost of Making Butter.

In recent report, published by the
Iowa State Dairy Commissioner, the
average cost Of producing one pound
of butter is given as follows:
In the creamery that makes 10000
pounds Of butter per year it costs
cents to make one pound of butter, and
in a creamery producing $4,000 pounds
it costs "a cents to make one pound,
while in creameries making 10000
pounds per year it costs only 1S5 cents
In some of the very central plants
that are producing over 100000 pounds
OF butter per year it costs IA cents
per pound
These figures clearly show that the
larger the creamery the cheaper but
ter can be manufactured, and they also
show that it takes about 400 cows

What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can
produce such results.
Women should remember that a cure
for all female diseases actually exists.
and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's

The Effect of Nitro-Cu1ture.


Erroneous statements which have re-
Gently been appearing in the public
press regarding the free and unlimited
distribution of inoculating material for
leguminous crops is likely to cause
those who apply for these cultures to
be disappointed. A circular Of the de-
partment Of agriculture now announces
that the results obtained with pure
cultures in inoculating leguminous
plants has resulted in such a demand
for this material that the facilities Of
the department have been taxed to
their utmost, and for some time it has
been impossible to meet the demand.
The patent which the department
holds upon the method Of growing and
distributing these organisms was taken
out in such way that no one can
maintain a monopoly Of the manufac-
ture Of such cultures and so as to per-
NIT of its being taken up and handled
commercially. The commercial prod
uct is being handled quite generally
Oy seedsmen. Upon application the de-
partment has furnished all necessary
information to the psychologists rep
resenting properly equipped concerns,
but it cannot assume to make any
statement which could in any way be
regarded as a guarantee of the COM
mercial product, nor is it prepared to
indorse each and all of the somewhat
eXtravagant claims occasionally made
for this discovery. The latest of the
departments authorized statements
may be found in farmers bulletin ga
