GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD
rheumatism and Other Blood Dis
eases are Cured by Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills.

'In the lead mines | was at work on my
knees with my elbows pressed against
rock walls, in dampness and extremes of
cold" said Mr.. J. q Meukel, of 2915
jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in de-
scribing his experience to n reporter,
and it is not surprising that | COIL
tracted rheumatism. For three years J.
had attacks affecting the joints of my
ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles
aud knees became SO swollen l could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and q
little pressure from n stone under my
feet would cause me so much pain that l
would nearly sink down. | was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
time. NY friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and | did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance | read the story Of Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of
Dubuque, who had a very bad cast of
rheumatism. / decided to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills, |
was much better and in three months |
wa well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, | could
work steadily aud for eight years | have
had no return of the trouble. My whole
family believe in DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Both my sons use them. We
consider them a household remedy that
we are sure about"
What DR., Williams Pink Pills did for
Mr.. Meukel they are doing for hundreds
of others. Every dose sends g%alloping
through the veins. pure, strong. rich, red
blood that strikes straight at the cause of
all i'll health. The new blood restores
regularity, and braces all the organs for
their special tasks. Get the genuine DIR.

GET POWER.
The Supply Comes from Food.

If we get power from food, why not
Arrive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by use Of skillfully Sc
lected food that exactly fits the re-
cuirements Of the body.
Poor fuel makes q poor fire, and q
poor fire is not a good steam producer.
From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs, | suf-
fcred grievously for a long time from
stomach troubles" writes a lady from
a little town in Missouri.
1t seemed as If | would never be
able to find out the sort Of food that
vas best for me. Hardly anything
that | could eat would stay on my
stomach. Every attempt gave me
heartburn and filled my stomach with
gas. | got thinner and thinner, until
l literally became a living skeleton,
and in time was compelled to keep to
my bed.
"A few months ago | was persuaded
TO try Grape-Nuts food, and it had
such good effect from the very begin
ming that I have kept up its use ever
since. I was surprised at the ease
with which l digested 1t. 1t proved
to be just what l needed. All my
unpleasant symptoms, the heartburn,
the inflated feeling which gave ME SO
much pain disappeared. My weight
gradually increased from 90 to lie
lbs. my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and l am To- able

leveled in the early spring they will
be on the surface with every leaf above
ground, for plants set too deeply will
not head well.
Now for the plants that are to be
headed in later winter in the frames:
| would SOW seed of the Big Boston
In September, and have them READY to
set in the frames in late November or
early December. Several sowings should
he made, as the season may push the
first sowing 10 TOO large a size, and the
seed Is cheap enough TO be liberal with
it. The practice Of the best growers
under cloth is to make their frames
eleven feet wide, and have the ends
and ridge poles removable, so that the
preparation of the soil and the blowing
in Of the manure can / done by horse
power. After getting all the manure
they can stuff into the soil, they run
slight ridges a foot through the frames
with a hand pillow, and on these set the
plants TO prevent the hands setting
them too deeply.
When the plants take hold of the
soil. the fertilizer. mixture ! have de-
scribod is applied at rate of 900 pounds
per acre in the little burrows between
the ridges and the soil, and is then
leveled so as to leave the plants set just
right. This is better than putting the
fertilizer right under the plants, as 1t
gets 10 them gradually. and there is no
danger of burning the roots. The latest
crop is sown in January in a frame
under glass. For this sowing the New
York lettuce Is best, as it stands the
heat better than the Big Boston, and
makes a succession to the Wonderful
set in the fall. This crop will come on
in early May, and will be of value
only for the home market. The great
secret in getting good lettuce at any
time is manuring and fertilizing lib
orally. Any stint in manure or fer
tilizer will make a poor crop, and only
the hest lettuce is proftable.-W i.
Massey, Director of North Carolina Ex-
Dcrimeut Station.

WHY A GOOD SILO PAYS.


Mr.. j. II. Godfrey, who has a
much experience in feeding dairy ami
mails says, in speaking of the adyan-
tases of the silo.
"The business man who ncslects to
adopt the latest methods for decreas-
ing labor and increasing production
and profits is foredoomed to failure.
Why not apply sound business princi-
pies to farming? That means reducing
the cost of production to the lowest
possible limit. In ninety-nine cases
out of every hundred the silo is a prof
table investment for every %stockman,
whether he produces beef, butter or
milk.
AN acre of land that will yield n
and one-half tons of timothy hay can
lie relied upon to produce fifteen tons
of ensilage corn, The chemical analy-
sis of the two crops, according to the
Wisconsin Experiment Station, shows
the following relative feeding value:
Fifteen tons of ensilage gives three
times as much dry matter, i.64 times
as much protein, nine times as much
carbohydrates, and five times as much
ether extract as the ~ tons Of tim
othy hay.
while II is not claimed that en-
silage alone is a balanced ration, y 1t
is the best basis for a cheap ration,
and makes it possible for the user to
do one of two things; he can either
increase his stock (double iO or keep
his original stock and sell hay without
injury 10 his land.
"Those who have never given the
matter special attention do not per-
haps realize that there is a loss OF
over one.quartcr in feeding value if
the corn is allowed to cure in the field.
In field curing the moisture dries out
and the cow must drink water to re-
place it. Water and dry fodder will
not produce as good results as green
fodder itself or silGge.
1T costs less TO harvest an acre Of
corn, put it into your silo and feed it
to your stock than to field cure it,
grind the corn and feed the stalks and
grain-and then Silage will produce 20
per cent more milk. Silage in a ration
makes everything palatable. 1t gives
variety. 1t is to the COW in the win
ter time what preserved fruit is to her
owncr.-Southern Agriculturist.

THE ART OF LISTENING.
The Pleasing Person Is Not the One
Always Eager to Intrude His
Own Views and Talk.

The good conversationalist-the one
who listens Wells always agreeable
If she feels disagreeable no one knows
it. She is always the well poised
fine lady. says a writer in the Chicago
Tribune.
The oma who listens well-the
listening conversationalist-wi study
poses. Unless she can be seated grace
fully and p~rettiIy and in an interest
ing way no n will want to talk Ia
her.
Learn to listen il you want to be
popular. Make a study of it.. Make
yourself a graceful listener. Make
yourself a pleasing listener. Make
yourself a tactful person who never
makes n bull. Make yourself pref
ty and comfortable. and, above all,
make yourself broad minded. You
will hear things You don't like,
but don't say so. Your opinions
will be Jared, but don't mention 1t.
Your fads. will be crucified and your
"isms' crossed, but don't moan about
it. Take it smilingly.
And above all, learn to be interested
in other people. Unless you are sym
pathetic, unless you are well read,
wise, and tolerant, you can't even
pretend TO be a good listener. Re
member what Queen Alexandra said
fflaaa nhn an fsNn 30 thn aatNFi nf Enn
land, knowing no English and little
German: Il couldn't talk" she wrote
home, 80 ! just listened" Yet Ten
nyson said Of her: "She Is the most
accomplished conversationalist | have
even met
The woman who aims TO be a good
listener should bury her views and
keep her fads out of the way; she
should be sympathetic, tolerant and
pleasant.
In conversation the good listener
selects a chair that fits her, She does
not perch uncomfortably upon this or
that; she does not lag ~ lean; she
does not sit bolt upright; she only
looks comfortable.
It Is said of Queen Alexandra that
she always looks comfortable. Her
majesty is a splendid listener. and for
that reason was a great favorite with
Queen Victoria. who was n great
talker.
To the listener may he given some
latitude. 1t is not polite these days
to make gestures. The listener Of
years ago threw up her hands and
made eXtravagant notions with her
arms. The listener Of to-day is more
composed. But she still has the Ian
guage of the hands and of the eyes.
The best listeners are those who set
the ball rolling. They start a subject
and the talker takes it up. 1t may
be nothing more abstruse than window
gardening. II may be nothing more
involved than the making Of a shirt
waist or the setting of the bread to
rise. But the listener understands
the art of setting the ball rolling and
the talker keeps it on the move. 1t
takes brains to know when and how
to start a topic.
Tact is necessary for the good con
versationalist, The woman who men
tons the wrong thing at the wrong
time and says things that were bet
ter left unsaid has no place in pc.
lite society. She lacks tact. She
should study how to be tactful; how
to be kind hearted; how to avoid hurt
ing other peoples feelings and when
to stop talking. The tactful converse
tionalist will be observant and will
never, even accidentally, tread upon
the other woman's corns.

become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as Of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving Of water, ice, time and room
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few cows now pay without a
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with one.
