Creamery Stock.

NTSdHcTJ OIoCks
I The question is now being discussed
as to whether the stock OF CO
operative creameries should be
owned by others than the men
that are supplying milk or cream
to the creamery. Some take one side
of the controversy and some the
other, but the strongest arguments
seem to be in favor of the stock being
kept entirely in the hands of the
farmers that are directly interested
in the success of the creamery. AS
much of such stock does not pay in
terest, it is evident that the outside
owners of stock might in time come
to feel that they could no longer let
the creamery have their money with
out some returns, and would begin
an agitation to turn the cooperative
creamery into stock company cream
cry. In some cooperative creameries
only one share is held by one person,
and that one share so credited to
the farm, not the man. When he sells
his farm the share goes, too. That
prevents the trading in shares.

which suffer from disease of the eyes.

other skin diseases, all of which are
produced by the pungent. foul air in
the stables. Farmers and others who
have horses will take pains to keep
their carriages and harnesses protect

due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in

very easy. The stable should be kept
clean; this will prevent the greater
part of the mischief, and it should be
well ventilated. The floor should be
properly drained SO that the liquid

Corn Cultivation.

Use good seed corn. To obtain it,
go through your cornfield as soon as
the silk is black and select the best
ears. Hang it up in the garnet or
barn. Break up your corn land, disk
it in the spring and plant it as soon
as the ground permits, using no less
than three grains and no more than
five in hill A week after planting,
harrow it with a slanted, fine-toothed
harrow made for that purpose. Har-
row week later, and again when
your corn is four inches high. This
will keep the weeds out of the hills.
If your land is rich, plant it three
feet by six inches. Keep away from
the hill when cultivating, but cult
vate deep until after July A; then
bring some soil to the corn, but have
your cultivation more shallow.

FEEDING sprinq Piqs.

Our pigs are now large enough to
need very little milk from the sows
and they are getting little. We are
feeding them a good deal of skim
milk, and in few days when we turn
them out on pastures even this will be
reduced. We have a good blue grass
pasture, and we depend on the blue
grass to help balance the ration Of
soaked corn that we begin to feed
about this time. The balancing proc
ess is much helped by the skim-miIk
they get. Later we will begin to feed
new corn and then win not need to
soak the old. 1t is my experience,
however, that the soaking does a
great deal of good and makes the corn
more fully digestible.-John Bean, in
Farmers Review.

The apple sellers in the vicin-
ity of Three Rivers, Quebec, were
polled by the American consul
there as to their preference for
barrels or boxes for packing apples.
The consensus of opinion was that
more apples of fancy class could be
sold in boxes, but that common apples
should be sent in barrels. The boxes
require more handling, as it takes
three boxes to equal one barrel, and
during the rush season it is doubtful
if the same quantity of apples could
be handled in boxes as in barrels
without the employing of increased
help. One experienced apple handler
said: eve like some fancy apples and
fruit of an extra quality for holiday
seasons in boxes, but we prefer the
average apple in barrels"

remnerature of Soil.

The temperature of the soil has much
to do with the success or failure of the
planting operations. Sometimes what is
charged to poor seed is really due to
low temperature of the soil. One lot
of seed was planted in soil at a tenn
perature of 55 degrees. Cold weather
came on and rain and the seed rotted.
Then the atmosphere cleared and the
sun came out warm and in two days
raised the temperature of well-drained
land to 65 degrees. The second lot of
seed was sown and soon came up. 1t
was the temperature that did it. You
can't farm by the almanac. Even the
thermometer is safer than that.

Death TO Unmuzzled Cattle.

Close to the frontier of Nepal is
the mountain of Sandook-Phu, which
means in the Thibetan language, 1.-THE
hill of the Poison plant" or aconite.
This plant is so abundant, and SO
deadly in its effects, that all sheep and
cattle passing over the mountain are
muzzled by their drivers.
Curiously enough only those cattle
that are newly imported from the
plains are fatally affected. The natives
believe that the sheep of the district
learn to shun the youngest leaves
which are the most virulent.
A more likely explanation is that
they grow habituated to the drug by
taking it in small quantities.-Stray

The Soy Bean.

The soy bean (glycine hispida),
also known as sofa bean and cof-
fee berry, is native Of south
eastern Asia. This leguminous plant
has been cultivated for centuries in
China and Japan. In those countries
it is one of the important articles of
food, but as such has never found
favor in the United States. In the
countries mentioned it has developed
many different forms and varieties
This plant was imported into England
about 100 years ago, but received
there no attention, and no one con-
sidered it a food plant for man or
beast. 1t was grown for long time
in the Southern states before it at
tracted attention, but finally its great
worth was recognized. Now it is
famous.

What Eatlnus Really is.

Tiredness is as natural a condition
of life as is the ability to perform
work, writes Andrew Wilson in the
Illustrated London News. 1t is ma
lures signal that rest and repose are
necessary in order to recuperate the
vital powers. Think for moment OF
the supply of nourishment (Which
means the giving of energy or the
power of doing work') to any part.
The healthy frame receives its due
quota of food materials, and out OF
them builds up its substance and OBJ
tains its working power. But the
supply of energy is not constant.
Hence, after a certain exhaustion OF
the store it originally possessed, the
human engine demands more coal and
water. Fatigue is the sign-manual
which authorizes the fresh supply.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYss0N PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
They have been my best doctor, (" he
says Il was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams' Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which / learned from
friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obxtinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DIR. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure of constipation.

insomnia.

This very common condition is
most often due to six o'clock dinners
or eating in the evening. To secure
sound sleep, no food should be taken
after 4 p. M, or at least nothing more
than little ripe stewed fruit, without
cream, and with as little sugar as pos
sible, better with none. Oranges or
some other juicy fruit are preferable
for an evenings lunch. Avoid bread
and butter or milk, and similar aFti-
Giles which digest slowly. Fruit juices
and completely predigested food sub
stances may be added In moderation.
Tea and coffee also produce sleep
lessness. Sedentary habits conduce
to sleeplessness by promoting the ac-
emulation of uric acid, which is a
nerve excitant, and gives rise to rest
lessness and disturbing dreams.
Said the wise man, 1.-THE sleep of
the laboring man is sweet" Bccl SIP
Gentle fatigue produced by exercise
out of doors is wonderfully effective
as means of producing sleep. A
prolonged bath, fifteen to forty min
utes, or even longer if necessary, at
a temperature of 92 degrees to 95 de-
grees F., taken just before retiring, is
an excellent remedy for sleepless-
ness. The moist abdominal bandage,
consisting of towel wrung quite dry
out of cold water and wound around
the body, covered snugly with mack
intOsh and then with flannel in suf-
flcient quantity to keep it warm, is an
exceedingly helpful measure in pro-
ducing sleep in cases in which sleep
lessness is due to excess of blood in
the brain. Care must be taken to
keep the feet warm. If necessary, a
hot bag may be applied to the feet or
a moist pack to each leg. If the head
is hot, cool compress may be ap-
piled.

The Swine Crate.

The crate in which the pig is to be
shipped must be made strong, but it
must be also as light as possible.
Where many pigs are to be sold during
the year it is best to keep on hand a
supply of light aad tough Grating ma.
terial, which will then have chance
to season. Elm is regarded as one of
the best Grating materials that can be
found. Measure the pig carefully be-
fore building the crate.

still Saws Wood at 81.


The Rev. Jacob Chapman of Exeter,
N. H., is the only nonagenarian, and
one of the few clergymen in New
Hampshire who saw all the wood used
in their stoves for cooking and heat
ing purposes. The amount of wood
used by family during the long New
Hampshire winters is something enor-
nous, yet Mr.. Chapman goes out into
the woodshed every day and saws al
most enough to keep the parlor and
bedroom stoves we'll supplied as well
as to furnish what is needed for the
kitchen.
Mr.. Chapman celebrated the 91st
anniversary of his birth this week.
Though never robust, Mr.. Chapman's
physical powers are remarkably well
preserved. A day seldom passes in
which he fails to cut little wood,
an exercise which he considers very
beneficial. In good weather he takes
long walks. His mind is alert and
his memory very retentive.
He was born in Tamworth, and in
1927 entered Phillips Exeter academy,
of which he is the oldest living gradu-
ate. He was graduated from Dart
mouth college in 1895, and from And
over Theological seminary in 1889.
For many years he was teacher.
Since his retirement Mr.. Chapman
has lived here, devoting himself to
genealogical research. He has writ
ten number of family histories, and
contributed to secular, genealogical
and religious publications.-Exc
