Ru;ld Tn Your Weak Points.

In all persons there are weak points in the physical and mental anatomy" These tender spots can be made en- tirely firm and trustworthy. I once knew a man of remarkable memory, who had learned how to remember, by affirming that he could remember. So well did he get the fact lodged in his mind that he beca me a public lecturer on how to build up the memory.
 The trouble Is this-when we find a weak point, We always affirm the weakness, not the strength, of the func- ton or organ. To be always saying that we have a weak head, and that 1t is liable to start to ache at any mo- ment, Is to build up that very condi- don.
 The whole world Is facing fear and enduring ills that are not necessary Just close down on this anticipating business and affirm the weak points out of existence.
 Can't, did you say? Well, that's just why you suffer. You made every de- lection in your success and happiness by negative "affirmations." Now turn and affirm the other way.
 This will amend health, character disposition, success. memory, social and all infirm flea lures of your spiritual and physical being. Affirm that you are not weak at any point, that you are moral, competent. successful, strong, worthy and happy. Don't affirm a few

Food and Quality of Milk.

Recent evidence collected by r. w. Wolf of the Wisconsin station goes to show that the food of the dairy COW influences the quality of the milk pro duced to this extent, that the COW will yield a maximum flow of milk of the highest fat content which she Is ca pable of producing on rations rela- lively rich in nitrogenous substances. The productive capacity oe the cow, the prices of feeding stuffs and of the milk products are the main factors that will determine how highly nitro genous rations can be fed to adyan- tage. Under ordinary conditions in the Northern States, 1t will not, as a rule, he thinks, be advantageous to feed ra- tions containing over two pounds of digestible protein a day, and of nu- tritive ration narrower than 1:6.1, to cows of average dairy capacity.

Calves in Groupa.

It is highly desirable to have calves come in groups where a large number of cattle are being kept and the calves are to be raised for beeyes. It is only In this way that uniformity in size, weight and finish can be obtained for the carloads of cattle that are to be sent to market If there are but few cattle 1t is better to have only two groups of calves, one in the spring and one in the fall. It will be easier to care for them if they are in groups of about the same size than if they come at all months in the year.

Nurse Crops,

A great deal has been said against nurse crops, but in some parts of the Western States nurse crops are quite necessary for the sowing of clover Where clover is sown with spring wheat the stubble of the wheat when cut helps to hold the snow over the plants during winter and keeps them from freezing out. It is the experience of farmers in good many places that nurse crops protect the clover during summer, especially in regions where the heat Is intense.

Sn m mer Care of Bees.

No matter how abundantly you have provided for your bees in clover and buckwheat fields If at this time of the year the weather is unfavorable and the bees cannot so out honey gather ing you must provide them with full combs for fear of their starving.
 The colonies need more supply then will keep them alive, they should have twenty or thirty pounds of honey at hand all the time. If the nights are cool the secretions of nectar will be correspondingly small and the bees will get but small loads.
 When honey is scarce in the hives the bees stint themselves and brood rearing Is checked just when 1t should be at its best and healthiest condition If you have any doubt as to the hives being sufficiently rationed you can solve your doubt by lifting each hive and its weight will determine It's con. dltion. If you find many that are too light weight, use your smoker, take out one or two empty combs and re- place them with full ones, breaking small holes in them so that the bees may get at the honey readily. Then you can leave the bees in peace until they are able to hustle for themselves unless 1t should be too long a wait, when you will have to repeat the proc ess If you have no honey feed Sugar syrup. Be careful to retain all the heat in the hives.

What We Eat.

An important constituent of our food Is nitrogen. an invisible gas; foods containing protein are called nitrogen, ous. Carbohydrates build fat and produce heat and energy; protein does all that and builds the red meat or muscle in addition. We get oil in the butter used on bread. From these three great food groups we make our feeding stuffs. We get carbohydrates from potatoes, sugar beets, corn. Corn alone lacks nitrogen and will not make sufficient muscle. Wheat, bar ley and rye are all rich starches, good to fatten, but not the best for muscle making. We get protein in flax, in the outside of the wheat grain, in clo- yer and alfalfa, in bran, middlings and oil meal. These foods are rich in pro- tein. Wheat bran, linseed oil, cotton seed meal and any legume.

Doesn't Pay to Coddle Alfalfa.

If an alfalfa field is in bad condi- tion 1t is usually best to blow up and re-seed. It scarcely ever pays, at least where irrigation Is practiced, to coddle a poor stand of alfalfa. Many grow CTS recommend disking every spring, even when the stand is good, and some have even found It a paying practice to disk after each cutting. Such disk ing will often prevent the encroach- ment of weeds. In the Eastern States alfalfa fields sometimes suffer a check in their growth, tend to turn yellow and otherwise show sickly condition.
