there Is no danger OF a financial crisis
only adds the assurance of Il class

that Is reassuring is their conviction
that there is need Of conservatism IN
extending credits that will discourage

The Apple Specialist, in answer to

lions how to make cider and keep it
sweet:
SIN order to make cider the juice
must be extracted from the apples.
This is done by grinding the apples
into a pumice and thus pressing the
Juice out. The pumice is laid up in
hoops and held in place by old sacking
made by ripping gunny sacks. 1t is
laid up in cheese form, II above the
other, and pressure applied at the top.
The cider works out through the sack.

der mills are made that are excellent
for the work, and sweet cider may be
had at any time. Their is no way to
keen cider sweet without racking it of.
drawing it from II barrel to another
several times, letting it run through
several thicknesses of flannel to take
out the sediment. It must be allowed to
run very slowly so as to keep ali Sedi-
ment in the bottom of the barrel. When
thoroughly purified the barrel must be
plugged tight and kept in a cool place.
By boiling and Swimming the cider it
will keep sweet, but has a slight cook
ed taste. We have made thousands Of
barrels of cider and have tried all
kinds of schemes to keep it sweet and
have found nothing equal to hacking
off. 1t is a slow process, however, and

Makes Trouble for People with Weak

A lady in a Wis. town employed a
physician who instructed her not to eat
white bread for two years. She tells
the details of her sickness and she GER
tainly was a sick woman.
In the year 1887 l gave out from
over work, and until 1901 1 remained
an invalid in bed a great part of the
time. Had different doctors, but moth
ing seemed to help. 1 suffered from
cerebro-spinal congestion, female trou-
BILE and eriou stomach and bowel
trouble. My husband called a new doc
tor and after having gone without any
food for 10 days the doctor ordered
Grape-Nuts for me. l could eat the
new food from the very first mouthful.
The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts
n b only medicine was a little
glycerine to heal the alimentary canal.
when I was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. 1 got
well in good time and have gained in
strength sc I can do my own work

Had Grown Cautious.

Lorenzo Dow on one occasion took
the liberty, while preaching, to de-
nounce a rich man in the community,
recently deceased. The result was an
arrest, a trial for Islander, and an i'm
prisonmcnt in the county Jail.
After Dow got out of limbo he an
nounced that he should preach, at a
given time, a sermon about another
rich man." The populace vas greatly
excited, and q crowded house greeted
his appearance.
With great solemnity he opened the
Bible and read, and there was a rich
man who died and went to -" Then,
stopping short, and seeming to be sud
denly impressed, he continued: "Breth-
rem, 1 shall not mention the place this
rich man went to. for fear he has some
relatives in this congregation who will
sue me for defamation of character"
The effect was irresistible and he
made the impression permanent by tax.

Such an immense sum being we'll
worth h saving, the department has
in its employ a large staff of men who
are studying the life history of the
pernicious insects to find out where
they are vulnerable.
The work has been going on for some
years and much progress has already
been made. The cotton worm which
formerly levied an annual tax of $780,
100000 on the cotton crop, is now con-
trolled by sprays; it has been proven

which sometimes have reduced the
wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and
in Indiana 60 per cent besides greatly
impairing the yield of the remaining
acreage, "a be considerably checked
by planting wheat at seasons when the
fly is not so ~ranacious; the coddling
moth is controlled by arsenical sprays
and $4,000, 900 worth of apples saved
as a result.

1t is we'll known that fine, dry dirt Is
one of the best of absorbents and dis
infectants. 1t is also plentiful, and
costs nothing but the labor of han
ding. 1t makes excellent bedding, if
covered over with a few inches of
straw, and it really keeps the cows
clean, even when used in the stalls
without straw, as it is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. a stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out in a much shorter time than when
the earth is not used, and, as dirt alb
serbs the liquids and gases, quite a
saving is effected in hat manner. It's
use goes beyond the stall. AS the sta
BILE should be cleaned daily, quite Il
large quantity of dry earth will be
used in the course of a year, and it
will necessarily be added to the heap
itself, yet its presence therein will
double the value of the manure by pre-
venting loss of fertilizing material. 1t
is a better absorbent than straw or
corn stalks, and is easily handled when
the manure is hauled to the fields.

Alfalfa Ms "A Weed Killer

Alfalfa as a Weed killer.
Probably no other crop, without Il
single exception, presents so many
characteristics of value. AS it is stud
led more and more, and as new expert
nents are made with it in different
capacities, its wonderful capacities be-
come more and more manifest. y very
eminent authority has discovered that
it is a weed eradicator of untailing
power. This will seem like contradlc-
ton to readers who have been eau
toned about weeds, and which Will
prove more destructive to alfalfa h Il
any combatable influence. NeVerthe-
less it is strictly true that the plant is
the greatest destroyer of weeds known.
This me- not SO much from any quail
ity contained in the alfalfa plant, put
from the inability of the weeds to en-
dure having their heads cut or 50
many times in summer close to their
feet. The most strenuous weed soon
will succumb to this harsh treatment,
while the alfalfa plant will thrive all
the better the more it is cut. II weeds
can be kept back from choking the
young alfalfa plants until they, the al
falfa plants, are tall enough TO be
moved, he question of weeds IN the
particular parcel of ground is settled.
Therefore. it is wise to select a weedy
piece of ground for the alfalfa field,
but before sowing the seed every pre-
caution should be taken to Kill as many
weeds as possible. This ear best be
done by simply following the ott-re-
peated injunction to thoroughly pre-
pare the seed bed before sowing the
seed. If this be done, and the tract
narrowed and rolled after blowing at
a time when the tiny weeds begin to
show green over the field, and again
just before tim to Sow, there Will be
the cleaneSt field on the farm before
the year is out. There are many weed
infected farms and many farmers who
have despaired of eve getting rid of
the weeds. Alfalfa suggests the mean
of riddance.-C. NJ. Ginther in Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

thoroughly Reliable.

If ever there was a reliable and safe
remedy it is that old AMI famous porous
plaster-Allcock's. 1t has been in use for
sixty years, and is as popular to-day as
ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized
community on the face of the globe where
this wonderful pain ~reliever cannot be
found. In the selection of the ingredi-
ents and in their manufacture the greatest
care is taken to keep each plaster up to
the highest standard of excellence. and so
pure and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and genuine
porous plaSters and are sold by druggists
in every part Of the civilized world.

Di..o1ved Bone Black.

When bone black is treated with sui
phuric acid the insoluble phosphate
which it contains is converted into SOL
uble phosphate, says a Virginia bulle-
tin. Dissolved bone black contains
from 10 to % per cent Of available
phosphoric acid. In this form it is one
of the most valuable phosphate fertil-
izers. The question is often asked, is
available phosphate from dissolved
bone better than that from dissolved
rock? 1t would be well, therefore, to
state in this connection that available
phosphoric acid has the same value re-

Testing Individual Cows.

A circular by the Illinois Station EN-.
phasizing the Importance Of studying
the production of individual cows con-
tains records for one ear of eighteen
dairy herds in Illinois, including 221
cows. The average production was s.
616.99 pounds of milk and 1866
pounds of butter fat. The best herd
averaged 35O.17 pounds of butter fat
and the poorest 1925 pounds. The
best ten cows averaged 3SS.75 pounds
of butter fat and the poorest 1O,109.42
pounds. 1t is believed that at least
one-third of the COWS in the ordinary
herds are practically improbable. A
marked improvement vas observed in
herds where grading had been prac-
ticed. It was found possible to remove
five cows from a herd of ten and there
by increase the profit $7.62 per head.
