GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his ihi-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back To
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out or
the circle of usefulness to- himself and
his neighbors.

helps you to pay your taxes. support

Barley and Its Cultivation

The English expert, Prof. D. Finlay-
son, has this to say concerning the
growing of barley, which will prove
suggestive and helpful to farmers in
this country:
To grow barley of the highest class
1t is essential that certain facts should
always be remembered. Barley should
be grown on a barley soil, that is to
say, on soils of free working charac-
ter, such as light loans, sandy or cal.
careous soils. On heavy soils the gen.
eral bulk of the produce, both straw
and grain, may be considerably aug
mented, but at the expense of quality.
1t is essential to success that not only
should the land be dry, but also clean,
and that before sowing operations
commence, the seed-bed shall have
been worked into deep, fine and fria-
BILE tilth.
Uniform condition of the soil, both
with regard to The mechanical condi.

have received a check of some kind
The farmer, when viewing his crop,
ponders over the disappointing out
look. What is the cause or reason of
the failure? Oftentimes the reason is
simply this-that the various tillage
operations necessary for the formation
or a good seed-bed are not properly
timed as to the weather conditions. 1t
Is quite possible for the surface of the
soil to be worked into a fairly fine
condition, while at the same time the
tread of the horses has formed a nan
or layer impervious to the passage of
water little way below the surface:
the latter being fine, the water rises
readily--too readily-by capillary at
traction, thus cooling the upper layer
of soil and checking the growth.
While the order of succession in
which crops are usually grown is de-
pendent upon the nature of the soil
and climatic conditions, it would be
thought in certain districts and by
some farmers little short of rank here
sy to advocate the growth of two
white or straw crops In succession
1t Is also. perhaps, well known to
most practical men that there is no
greater fallacy in farming practices
than the laying down of rules. Phos.
pilates and nitrogen must be both
present In sufficient quantity in the
ideal barley soil, but the latter ele-
ment not in excess. The orthodox
method of Observation-Disclosures after
roots has given place in many dis
tricts to barley after wheat" Though
the opinions of practical men differ
considerably on this important depart.
ure from established custom. 1t is in
the main a matter of individual ex.
perience and depends on the fertility
of the soil.
In examining an ear of barley II will,
be seen that the spikelets are ar.
ranged in threes on opposite sides Of
the rachis. When the middle spikelet
on each side produces one well-devel.
oped grain only, we have what is
known as a two-rowed barley. the side
spikelets being abortive. When the
two outside spikelets are fertile ana
produce grain, we have the six-rowed
type.

THE VALUE
OF MANURE
by M. l., Fisher, Asst. professor
of Asrouomy. Purdue Ind
Untvcrsity.

The theoretical value OF ton Of
manure - likely 20 differ somewhat
from It's practical value. For example
q ton OF clover hay fed to mature fat
tcnlng steers ought 10 return in the
animals excrement fertilizing ele
ments worth about $3.50; ton of oats
about s7.65. A n matter Of fact, no
farmer ever has ton of manure
whose value based on It's chemical
composition Is anything like the above
figures The average chemical compo-
sltion of Il large number of samples OF
leverage farm manures gives value
computed at tn cents for nitrogen
and six cents for phosphoric acid, and
potash at s2.75
In some experimental work by the
Indiana station tho returns from ap-
plying ordinary manure In certain
series show It TO be worth from 40
cents to four dollars for a single crop,
and from rs cents TO $3.50 where re.
suits from three crops have been OBJ
tanned In another series where a
heavy application has been made and
'utH tNDpDtu WIN GOHtiHuDub CDIu lHe
increased yield from i3 crops gave a
value OF about one dollar per ton for
each crop. It 10 we'll known that tho
effect of manure lasts long time,
and, consequently one or two crops
does not measure its value.
Various factors operate TO influence
the value of manure. The food given
young and growing animals has more
OF its nitrogen and phosphoric acid
removed and built into the animals
organisms than that given to more
mature animals, Consequently their
oxcrement is not 30 valuable as that
from the maturer animals. The kind
of food fed Influences the quality OF
the manure Evidently ration of
straw and corn stover cannot be con
verted into as rich manure as a ration
OF clover hay and oil meal. The ma
nurial element In the bedding also
adds to or subtracts from the value of
the manure. Corn stoyer possesses
about twice as much fertilizing mate
rial as wheat straw. Besides the
above factors IL Is evident that the
season, kind of soil and the crop to
which applied affect the returns dc.
rived from applying manure.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine pusi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of tho
old~time household remedies
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas.
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to bs
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
hy the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
OF whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole=
some, oid-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising DOCTOR i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
1t up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture 1t on large scale. advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home.
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies, 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before il
was offered to the public for sale. DIR.
Hartman THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed IL
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established mandatory and fur
nished 1t to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great MANY
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds.
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS or
FAMILIES HAvE~sLEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in Tn.
treatment of these ailments. The
have learned to trust and believe i.
DR.. Hartman's judgment. and 10 rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

Birds as Fruit Protectors.-Birds
are natural protectors of our fruit
trees and fruit products. Orchardists
complain that in the early DAYS the
insects that destroy fruit were not mn
me,ous, while now it Is impossible to
grow fruit without battling with the
insects from the day the blooms
come. In the early days the forests
were in nearly every locality and
birds abounded. They had to live
largely from the insects, and the hunt
for that kind of food was incessant
The codling moth and his friends
found little chance to destroy fruit
The fruit was thus protected by the
birds TO an extent that made spraying
unnecessary. 1t may be that frui,
growers will yet find the rearing of
birds the cheapest way of protecting
the fruit trees and their product.
