Effect of Their Warm Drink in the

"a year ago I was wreck from

room because of nervousness.
Il was telling g friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children.
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that l was in, despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the d.
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was a de-
cided success and I was completely
won by its rich delicious favour. In a
short time I noticed a decided i'm

NEGOTIATIONS.

Failure comes to the faint heart
ed.
Fear of being caught stands for con.
science in some men.
Much of the fertility of American
soils has been wasted by the men
that have cultivated it.
No man should call himself a good
farmer if his land has been growing
less productive from year to year
1t is not safe to be governed by the
results of a trial of one year on the
farm, for frequently results are
brought about by conditions which we
know nothing about.
The most nutritious hay is made
when grasses or clover are in bloom.
A delay of one week in the cutting
period will make big difference in
the actual feeding value of the
crop.
With the prospect Of a short hay
crop, put away some sheaf oats, when
harvest comes again. They make fine
feed; in fact, if they are not put up
before the straw becomes too ripe,
there is nothing better.

THE DUST MULCH.
1t Prevents Evaporation of Moisture
and Causes Roots to Strike Deeper.

A Matter of much Importance, both
as regards saving moisture and pre-.
venting root injuries, is the depth OF
surface tillage. Too shallow cultiva.
ton will not be effective in checking
evaporation, still one must know that
the soil should not be stirred so deep
that the top roots are cut. If this is
done the growth is at once checked,
and the roots are forced lower in
search of supplies. From two to three
inches have been found the best depth
for fiat cultivation, where the ground
has been thoroughly prepared. When
a seed bed has been thoroughly fined,
proper handling will bring the corn
crop along, with the minimum amount
of rainfall. The problem, says In.
diana Farmer, is to maintain good
capillary action between the lower
water systems and the soil where the
roots are growing. When the water
moves upwards and strikes the dust
blanket it is checked, and it must pass
out through the plant, rather than by
evaporation. 1t is pretty nice prob.
lem. but the aim should be to make
all water and fertilizing material pass
through the roots of the growing
plants, work for the dust mulch; ;
don't dig down to the wet soil, so
that with every cultivation you eX-
pose more soil to the sun.

A number of holes bored through
the top of a post, one under the 9th
er, through any one of which a bolt
may be placed. This bolt, G, holds
the upper hinge in place. By setting
it up or down in the row of holes,
the gate may be made to swing high
or low, as desired. When there is a
heavy snow, the bolt can be placed in
the top hole, and the gate will swing
over the drift. If it is desired to
raise the gate so hogs and sheep
can pass under while large animals
are restrained, the bolt can be set

ageway under the gate large enough
to permit ingress or egress Of the

and bruin was traced to the edge of
deep ravine on the side of Taylor
town mountain. Darkness halted the
farmers, but one of the dogs, brindle
hull belonging to Zeliff, was sent into
the ravine. He did not return and in
the morning his mutilated body was
found at the foot of a great oak.
1t was on the farm of Israel Blau-
welt, near Taylortown, that Zeliff and
Doremus finally came upon bruin with
his back toward them. He could not
hear them, for he had upset one of
the bee hives and his head was fast in
it. Probably in the enjoyment of his
honey he did not know what hit him,
for he expired forthwith.
