The apparently useless buttons on the wrists of mems coats had a curious origin, according to an old tailor. He said that years ago the soldiers were in the habit of wiping their noses on the sleeves of their uniforms. The commander of one corps had buttons put on the front of the wrists to prevent this prac- tice and the buttons which Cover nor Hoch of Kansas so severely con 1emns are survival of this custom. The two buttons on the back of frock coat were put there originally SO that the tails of the coat might be buttoned out of the way in walk ing or riding. The button holes were put in the front of the skirt. They have disappeared in the mod ern coat but the buttons remain.

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DIR. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds in solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutrtive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root con-
tanned in rGolden Medical Discovery" in
subdung chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root. Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, it must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will

stages. 1t will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-

when accompanied by bleeding from

riculture has suggested as a satisfac-
tory means of separating light from
heavy seed the use of a current of air
as follows:
A simple and effective device for the
purpose is shown in the figure. The
material necessary for constructing
this machine can be obtained by to-
bacco growers from almost any chem
zeal supply house The foot bellows
(A) is connected by means of a rubber
tube (B) to the valve tube CO.. The
glass tube CD is fitted with a rubber
cork (I), in which the valve tube is
inserted. The top of the cork is COW
cred with a piece of finely woven
gauZe in order to prevent the seeds
from entering the valve tube About
an ounce of seed for separation is plac-
ed in the glass tube. and a current of
air is injected by means of the foot
bellows. The strength of this current
must be regulated by the valve co so
that only the dirt. chaff and light seed
will be blown out of the top of the
tube. 1t is advisable to screen out all
of the large particles of hulls and trash
before putting the seed in the tube.
1t is claimed to be easily within the
reach of every tobacco grower to select
his seed plants in the manner outlined
and to thereby improve his crop with
out any extra expense and very little
labor.

A Successful Feeder on Handling
Cattle In tho East

Cattle Ia the East.
Information on the management of
cattle for beef production by H. Jones
of Fayette county, o.. who is consid-
cred one of the most successful beef
feeders in the east, is submitted by
American Agriculturist as follows:
The old method of feeding in Ohio
and other places has been to take steers
two and one-half to four years old and
feed them to q finish on shock or ear
corn alone. Three-fourths or more of
the feeding has been done between
Oct l and May winter feeding. Ex-
pertinent stations and progressive feed
ers have time and again called atten-
tlon to the wastefulness of an all corn
ration, to the advantages of feeding
younger and better cattle and of MAX
ing better provision for the comfort of
the cattle, but the majority of the older
feeders still go on in the same old way
Successful Feeding.
The leading essentials are: First,
good, well drained corn and clover
lands, maintained in a high state of
fertility 1t is impossible to proftably
produce beef without the employment
of large amounts of grain and for age,
and in these days of high priced labor
and low priced beef Only the best lands
can be proftably faT@:ed. Lands that
will produce corn and clover well will
also produce almost any other crop
known to the corn belt region north of
SO degrees north latitude. 1t will pro-
duce pasture grasses, oats, barley, rye,
alfalfa and soy beans; second, proper
buildings, feed lots. etc.; third, hogs to
follow the cattle, and, fourth, the prop
er kind of feeding cattle laid in at a
fair price.
wasteful Handling of Corn.
Corn is the greatest of ali cattle
feeds. 1t therefore should be the prin-
cipal crop. 1t is not expensive to raise,
but as usually managed it is very ex-
pensiye to handle. A large part of the
corn crop in Ohio is cut and shocked
husked and cribbed. The fodder is fed
cut or barneC and the corn either fed
OF marketed from the crib. see what
actual cash outlay for labor alone, moi
counting teams and tools, is involved
in all this-cutting, $1.25 to 50 per acre
husking at to cents per bushel fifty
bushels per acre., 81 to $2.5e per acre
cribbing at cent per bushel, so cents
per acre; total, $4.75 to 81 per acre, or
say, an actual cash outlay for labor il
handling the crop fully equaling three
times the actual cash outlay liz produc
ing it. The worst feature of this meth
cd is that it results practically in vast
ing 40 per cent of the corn crop.
