Hot Biscuit, Griddle-Cakes, Pies and
Puddings.
The food that made the fathers
strong is sometimes unfit for the chill
dren under the new conditions that our
changing civilization is constantly
bringing in. One of Mr.. Bryan's
neighbors in the great State Of Ne
braska, writes:
II was raised in the South, where
hot biscuits. gr%iddle-cakes. pies and
buildings are eaten at almost every
meal. and by the time l located in Ne
braska l found myself a sufferer from
indigestion and its attendant ills-dis-
tress and pains after meals, an almost
constant headache, dull, heavy Sleep
mess by day and sleeplessness at
night, loss Of flesh, impaired memory,
etc, etc.
II was rapidly becoming incapaci-
tated for business, when a valued
friend suggested a change in my diet,
the abandonment Of heavy, rich stun
and the use Of Grape-Nuts food. I
followed the good advice and shall al
ways be thankful that l did so.
Whatever may be the experience
Of others, the beneficial effects OF the
change were apparent In my case al
most Immediately. My stomach, which
had rejected other food for 70 long,
took to Grape-Nuts most kindly; In Z
day or two my headache was gone, !
began to sleep BEAUTIFULLY and before
a week was out the scales showed
that my lost weight vas coming back.
My memory was restored with the re-
newed vigor that l felt in body and
mind. For three years now Grape.

WOOD ASHES in ORCHARDS.

The application of wood ashes to orchard
soils should be more general for the potash
in the unleached wood ashes will be very
welcome to the soil particularly IL the soil
has had but little fertilizer for a consid-
cradle period. Many fruit growers COM
plain of damage from the use of wood
ashes but If such has been the case 1T was
due to d too heavy application close to the
tree. In our work in this direction we
start three feet from the trunk of the tree
and spread the ashes broadcast out as far
as the branches extend and then work
them lightly under the soil with rake or
harrow II the later can be worked to adj
vantage. We have one old orchard in sod
on which we used potash in various forms
but largely by means of the ur'eached
wood ashes and figure that when the trees
become Improbable because of age. which
will be in a few years. the wood ashes will
have been paid for by better apples and We
will have IL meadow left which will be pro-
fitable because of the ashes used every few
years. 1t will probably be necessary to do
a little reseeding after the trees have been
removed but this Is a small expense.

FARMING IN SETTLED COMMUNE
TIES

a prominent agricultural journal objects
to the picture Of farms located close TO
thriving villages and particularly so II
lions claiming that the prices of labor ON
the farm are Increased by the proximity
OF the factory and that the young are
lured away from the farm by the SEEM
ingly better return for labor in the factory.
That there is some truth III this cannot be
denied but. on The other hand, there are
advantages which offset the dis6dvan-
tages. One of the most prolific causes of
discomfort with the farm is the loneliness
so evident. If the farmer and his family
are socially inclined or arc progressive
they naturally chafe at being SO COATED
that they cannot carry out their ideas.
One of the most progressive and intelii-
gent farming communities we ever saw
consisted of 4 section where wise settlers
had laid out farms averaging fifty acres
each with not more than six hundred feet
frontage. This village consisted of nearly
LOCO people, two thirds of whom were
farmers. the other third being the more
thickly settled section in the business por-
ton. The people had many conveniences,
came into rcqlent contact with each 9TH
er and so, willingly or unconSctously, the
entire community was benefited. Men
are naturally generous and If they have a
chance to talk or work with their fellows
will do much to help another over Il bad
place. Don't frown on closely settled
farming sections but on the other hand do
to build your own section up so
that all of the inhabitants will benefit.

FEEDING BEDDING TO HORSES.

1t is not to be said that farmers are feed
ing to horses material which has been
used for bedding: not quite as bad .as that,
but obey are feeding material which ought
&c. be used for bedding because it is not fit
for food. One of the most remarkable
ideas among some armers are those which
have to do with feeding his horses. Dur
ing the season of work the horses are we'll
fed but when there is little for them to do
the farmer seems to consider that the
horse should not eat, SO he Is fed just
enough to keep life in him. Spring comes
around again and the poor horse, If still
alive. is put to work much beyond his
strength and utterly ruined. This is some
what exaggerated perhaps but too many
farmers work mighty close to this plan.
True. it will lot do to feed the horse as it
is fed when doing hard work but it should
have enough food to sustain life and keep
1t in good vigor ready, Will a few days of
extra care. to take up any work asked of
1t. Use the poor straw for bedding and
give the horse food he should have. Try
the plan of'having bread made from the
corn cob instead of the grain; eat it for
a month and you'll then have a faint idea
of how the horse feels who is fed on bed
ding straw.

Sheep as Commercial Proposi-
ton.


On account of our mild climate. sheep
may be made more profitable in Flor
ida than in the northern States. The
greatest difficulty here is to protect
them from worthless dogs. The
Breeders Gazette tells of the success
of Wisconsin farmer.
Three years ago a Wisconsin man
purchased on the Chicago market a
band of eighty ewes at a cost of $240.
A few days since he disposed of them,
not one having died meanwhile,
for S:34O. Although old and in his judg-
ment past the age of breeding useful
ness another farmer secured them
with the object of founding a flock.
The Wisconsin man, while good
sheep handler did not keep books,
consequently his revenue from that
small band of ewes can not be given
with any degree of accuracy. During
the three years they were on his farm,
however, he sold lambs to the value
of about $500 annually, although to
do this it was necessary to keep them
until midwinter. This money he re-
Saried as clear profit, charging up the
value of the wool against the cost of
the ewes and raising the
lambs. In other words a band of
eighty ewes paid a return of 200 per
cent. annually on the original invest
