UTILIZING
Rules Which Should Be Observed in
Hauling II.

Few people realize how easy it Is
to waste manure. Barnyard manure
is always undergoing change from the
moment it is made. Even in the win
ter, when it is frozen, we have reason
to believe that some chemical
change is going on. The higher the
temperature the greater are the
changes constantly taking place.
Manure should be gotten onto the
land a short time after it is made,
unless corn stalks and other mate
rials are to be worked up into 1t.
Then it should be kept simply moist,
in which state the least loss OF
manurial elements will take place.
When manure is hauled out and put
on the land it should be spread even
ly over the ground, says Farmers Re-
view. The more evenly it is spread
the better will be its incorporation
with the soil. Leaving n in
Jumps is to waste much of it and pro-
duce unevenness in the growing
crops. In the case of the smaller
grains this is a great drawback.
Where a big lump of manure exists in
the soil the grain grows rankly, while
not far away will be found grain
short and weak in straw. An uneven
stand Of any kind of grain means a
reduced yield. In the case of the
manure being in the lump, the stalks
Of the grain grew too big and the
development was against the produc-
Lon Of grain. 1t is well understood
that a too large growth of stalk per-
vents fruiting. Thus the manur in
such a case is often a detriment to
the grain. On the other hand the
starved plants do not produce much
grain. What is desired is an even
and medium development, which
mean a large amount of seed COM
pared with the total of the grain.
This consideration alone makes de-
sirable the use of a manure spreader
to get the manure evenly distributed
over the surface of the soil, so that
the resulting crop may be well fed
but not over-fed or under-fed in spots.
Probably enough money has been
saved in this way alone to pay for
all the manur spreaders in use in
the United States, without taking
into consideration the other advan-
tages.
When a manure spreader is to be
purchased see that it is we'll made
and strong in all its parts. The sim
pier the better, as the less likely is
At to get out of repair. Strength is a
necessary requisite, and a manure
spreader that is iimsily built may
soon break down under the heavy
strain that is put upon it. It is bet
ter to pay a good price and get a good
machine than to pay a low price and
get a poor machine.

The Latch Complete and Its Parts

end of the strips should come to the
edge of the door. Opposite these
strips on the door casing nail two
small blocks as shown in cut. These
should be two inches long, IA inches
wide and one inch thick and the same
distance apart as the long strips on
the door,
Now get two pieces of hoop iron
just long enough to reach across from
block to block. Punch a hole in each
end and nail in position as shown.
Slip the third bar of wood under the
hoop iron pieces and screw a strong

EARLY FORCED POTATOES.
Start the Tuhers In Shallow boxes and
Then Transplant.

II farmers want to force potatoes
in pots or in boxes, or in a frame or a
dung bed, to tuber early, they will do
we'll to select their seed potatoes for
the purpose at once and of quite early
ripening short-topped varieties, and
get them set up on the root and in
shallow boxes, so that the sprout end
is nearest the light. If so placed in a
light, airy, yet relatively cool place,
these tubers will begin to throw
sprouts in about a month. When the
sprouts are about an inch long, writes
the correspondent of Farmers Review,
it will be wise just before planting TO
cut OF just remove with the point of a
knife all the eyes Or shoots but the
strongest one or two, and then when
planted, tops will be fewer but strong
err and produce tubers earlier. OF
course then warmth must be given to
produce quicker growth. The dwarfer
the tops produced the better. One
tuber may be planted in a nine-inch
pot, two tubers in boxes nine inches
deep and IL inches square and in a
frame planted IL inches apart.

CAAADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The immigration During 1905 Was
$4,000.

While 1t is well to heed every
word of caution from the leaders in
commerce and finance and TO avoid
all speculative ventures that lack a
solid business foundation, it is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
"The Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty of money, and lead
ing financial institutions are in a pc.
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises Of Canada are not buoyed Up
by an era of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial bust
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
a whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of the arti-
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would ere
ate 6lCdL IOlLlliCO III q lew at llO
expense of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tifcial foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion of
trade and industry, with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri.
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper.
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
e~xhausting mineral resources, for it
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop a far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by a judicious pol
icy. And agriculture, the real foun.
dalton of u prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not in
the flush Of a railway mania that
could bring its punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
in Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era Of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but> there is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at it's rapidly" This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that Is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of 216,000 to
its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,781. The agents
of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely in.

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form Of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, n ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot
tie, and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases Of Rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
If not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af.
6icted.

Rams in Winter.

Rams in winter are better in a pen
by themselves, where this can be OBJ
tanned for them, than running with
the ewes. When separate, they do
not disturb the ewes as they otherwise
would, and they may be readily put
upon rations exactly suited to their
needs. A number may be kept to-
gether when necessary and of diff
ferent ages, but when first put to-
,gether it should be in very close quar-
ters, where they cannot seriously
harm each other by fighting Without
such a precaution, valuable animals
may be lost. After a time, as with
sensible people, they will agree to live
together without fighting. They seem
to settle down to the conclusion that
fighting is a poor business at the best,
no matter who wins.

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons. two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
