FEEDING TOO MUCH CORN.

One Of the hardest things with
which to impress feeders is the folly
of using so much corn. These feed
ers argue that they have fed corn al
most exclusively to their live stock
for years, and they have never no.
ticed any bad effects, and, taking one
season with another, they have made
money out of their feeding opera
tions. The practice. of feeding corn
exclusively, to hogs, has no doubt
lost millions of dollars to feeders,
for wherever this practice is fol-
lowed for several years, disease in
variably follows in it's trail. During
the first six months foods which
promote growth and not fat should
be used. Every experiment shows
that clover, middlings and like foods
are much cheaper, and far better
to bring hogs up to say 1900 pounds.
II much corn has not been fed up to
this time, the hogs can be fattened
quickly and without much danger
from excess corn feeding.

DOWN ON CARTWHEEL HAT.
Beauty Specialists Tell Women 1t
Causes Wrinkles and Bad Figures.

y London. n.-Beauty specialists here
are trying to kill the women's So
called cartwheel hat, which has
reached enormous, tentlike dimen-
sions. The specialists say the wear
ers are crushed by these monstrosi-
ties, which are running their figures.
To sit in a carriage in comfort a
woman would be obliged to put the
feather of her hat out of one window,
the bunch Of flowers out Of the other
and the bow of ribbon through trap
door in the roof. AS she cannot do
this she sits crouched, with her shoul-
ders huddled, her neck bent and that
expression of patient resignation on
her face which Is the sure forerun-
ner of wrinkles.
Double chins, bent backs and un-
slightly necks and figures robbed Of
their natural poise will be the result
if this ridiculous headgear is not
modified. A great majority Of the
men of the present day want the
women to keep them.

ALARM CLOCK

An alarm clock in the kitchen is
a great time and labor saver. When
you put roast or baking in the
oven or vegetables on to cook, set
the alarm for the time they will need
your attention mind and go about
something else. 1t will save the trou-
BILE of watching the clock or running
every few minutes to see if the arti-
Gle is cooked. Best Of all, it will pre-
vent burning, as one is apt to forget
her cooking after leaving the kit
chen and becoming interested in
something else.-New York World,

MEAT OR CEREALS
a Question of Interest to Ali Careful
Persons.

Arguments on food are interest
ing. Many persons adopt vegetar-
ian diet on the ground that they do
not like to feel that life has been
taken to feed them, nor do they
fancy the thought of eating dead
meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread,
pastry, ETC., produces serious bowel
troubles, because the bowel digestive
organs, (where starch is ligested),
are oYertaxed and the food ferments,
producing gas, and microbes gener-
ate in the decayed food, frequently
bringing on >peritonitis and appendi-
2citis.
Starcby food is absolutely esaen-
tiaf to the human body. Its pest
form is shown in the food Grape
Nuts" where the starch is changed
into form of sugar during the pro-
cess of its manufacture. In this
way. the required food is presented
to the system in a pre-digested form
and is immediately made into blood
and tissue, without taxing the diges-
tive organs.
"a remarkable result in nourlsh-
ment is obtained; the person using
Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical
and mental strength. Why IN men-
tai? Because the food contains del
icate particles of Phosphate OF Pot
ash obtained from the grains, and
this unites with the albumen of all
fool and the combination is what
nasure uses to rebuild worn out cells

KEEPS THE BOYS ON THE FARM.

sowed three bushels on three acres
of ground and harvested ESQ bushels
of seed. I plowed the ground early
and packed 1t we'll, so as to hold the
moisture, and sowed on the third day
of July. I had this crop ground into
-four and soil s115 worth, keeping
200 pounds for family use. The bran
