long may be pinned to it. Bore the
front ends so q heavy stake with
shoulder may be inserted to prevent
the runners from drawing together,
and the drogue is done. 1t is handy

door exposure can he stand in a cold
climate.
The market for poultry products is
bound to improve continually with the
increase of population.
Stock feeding is a science that now
needs to be studied closely on account
of the high prices that must be paid
for stock feed.
Leached ashes are sometimes as
valuable for soils as unleached ashes.
This is true on soils that already have
in them all the potash they need
If the horses are kept comfortable
and the stables clean during the
changing weather of the fall there
will be much saved in doctors bills. 1t
is the exposure during the fall of the
year and not the excessively cold
weather in the winter that causes
horse ailments.
1t should be remembered that the
hog is no more of an exclusive grain
eater than the steer. He needs an
abundance of grass or roughness of
some kind at all times of the year to
make profitable growth. If green
grass can not be provided, then give
clover or alfalfa hay.

GOOD ROADS.
They Are Those That Are Kept in
Good Condition.

This road question will not down.
We simply rise to remark that before
we have gravel roads or macadamized
roads there must be drainage, there
must be grading, there must be per
manent culverts and bridges. After
that it is time to talk about macadam
or any other surfacing.
The farmers in the corn sections OF
the west must for the most part be
satisfied with dirt roads for some
years to come. They have been using
a split-log or other road drag quite
generally in the last two or three
years and have been surprised to find
what can be accomplished. There are
whole sections in various states where
the roads are so good most of the year
through the intelligent use of this
simple instrument that there is little
or no demand for any form of what
are usually called good roads, by
which is meant hard-suTfaced roads.
Farmers are always ready to pro-
test against surfacing with macadam
or with gravel, for they know it means
from $4,000 to 5000 a mile and those
who have looked into the matter know
that it will cost just as much to keep
them in repair as it does to keep the
dirt road in as good condition for
eight months in the year as the ma
cadam road will be after this expense
has been incurred. None the less, the
work of matchmaking roads will be
pushed vigorously by the townsmen,
by the owners Of automobiles, by cap
italistS who wish to invest in bonds, by
politicians who want to hold Office and
have money to spend
The way to resist all this is to get
out your drag and use it according to
directions. If you have not made a
drag, either make one or get out your
harrow or your disk, and when the
roads are rough and dry with no frost
in the ground disk them 1t is aston
ishing what improvement can be made
even with this.
We do not believe there is any
necessity for so-called good roads,"
that is roads surfaced with gravel or
macadam, except where there is heavy
hauling, chiefly in the neighborhood of
coal mines and large cities, says Wal
lace's Farmer. This may seem heresy
to good roads experts; but we speak
adyisedly on this matter
We are simply giving cur readers a
tip that if they want to suppress this
persistent demand they should use the
road drag intelligently and insist that
there shall not be any wooden culvert
or bridge made in the entire county
The use of the road drag will save
enough money every year to replace
worn-out culverts and bridges with
permanent cement structures. When
this is done the problem of good roads
will be very easy of solution in fact,
it will solve itself

David, a boy of four, was being

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most OF
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
trial sermon, and all, in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
THE reason | am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, 'is because he
has the right kind of wife for q
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn't sass back. i found out a long
while ago-shortly after | was mar
ried myself, in fact-that a man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear & peep out of him."
And upon that unique recommends
tion the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing we'll The wife has not

GIVE 1T THOUGHT.
Grasses for Pastures and Meadows Are
of Prime Importance.

The question of the best grasses to
grow in our pastures and meadows is
an important one. Some of the
grasses we now grow have been cul-
tiyated for much longer periods of
time than most people suppose. We
have from England the perennial rye
grass, and that has been in cultiva-
tion in England for more than 200
years. AS early as 1917 it was men
toned by the old writer's on agricul-
ture.
Orchard grass is regarded as a new
grass in this country, yet it has been
cultivated in England for more than
100 years. 1t may have been cult
waited long before that, for it is said
to have been grown in Virginia as
early as 1864. Timothy grass is we'll
known in several countries, but we
know little of its origin. 1t was prob
ably developed slowly from its wild
form. It's name is said to have
originated in North Carolina or Vir-
ginia. It's principal cultivator in
those two states was a man by the
name of Timothy Hansen, who must
have grown it as early as 1850. 1t Is
said to have originated in North
America and to have been taken to
England. This is contrary to the pre-
vailing public opinion. which is tha.
1t originated in England.

Red Glover.

There is no more wonderful grass
than red clover Taking all things to.
gether, there is no plant that can take
it's place in the states that touch or
approach the Great Lakes. Alfalfa has
higher analysis for protein, but it
has to be nursed into existence in this
region and must be carefully taken
care of year after year. 1t is won
derful plant where it can be grown.
but red clover will fight its own way
in many regions where it would be i'm
possible to keep alfalfa alive. Thus,
there are many sections of this re-
gion where red clover comes in nat
urally when the weeds are cut along
the edges of the clearings. For a tenn
porary pasture grass, it has no
superior, for it has an abundance of
protein and is greatly liked by all
kinds of grazing animals.

TUMORs CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pnkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman S
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of a tumor is so in
sidious that frequently it's presence
is wholly unsuspected until ii is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of it's
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.

One OF Many,

An Atchson woman started out to
buy her fall hat. First she visited
the openings and looked and looked.
Then she took a friend and went
around to the millinery stores and
tried on" again, saying, of course,
that her hair looked perfectly ter
rible." Then she went home and
thought and thought, and, finally,
went back to the stores and tried
on" once more; and thought, and
thought, and then bought a hat which
is so grotesque and hideous that her
relatives and friends blush with
shame every time they see her wear
it, and strangers stare at her, wonder
ing what kind of courage it takes to
wear such a looking hat. But she
did the best she could.-Atchison

Milk Consumption Increasing

The milk statistics of the large cit
les show that there is a good deal
more milk used per person in the
cities than formerly. This is probably
partly due to greater ability of the
masses to buy milk, but in greater
measure to the greater attention paid
to the quality of the milk sold by the
health inspectors and food commits
sioners. There is much less adultera-
tion of milk than formerly and the
average consumer also has more con-
fidence in the cleanliness and whole
someness of the milk supply than he
once had.

STANDARD OIL CASE
 AGAIN POSTPONED
TIME IS GIVEN FOR THE OIL COM PANY TO PREPARE STATE MENTS FROM THE BOOKS AND RECORDS.

New York, September 5.-Another post ponement of the taking of testimony against the Standard oil company of New Jersey and affiliated concerns. was ordered today by former Judge Franklin Ferrlss of St. Louis, who is acting as examiner for the federal court. The hear ing is nov scheduled for September IT., and it is said there will be no delay be- yond that date in the proceedings in this jurisdiction.
 The adjournment was requested by the attorneys for the defendant companies, and joined in by the special counsel rep resenting the government. It was granted to give the Standard oil company time to prepare statements from it's books and records which are desired by those in charge of the prosecution. These state ments, it was claimed. would do away with the necessity of bringing all of the books of the various companies to the federal building and would ultimately ex- pedite hearing. The testimony 10 be taken in New York will be largely of d documentary character and will be re- ported back to the United States circuit court in St. Louis.
