A few pruning hints for you to
paste on the handle Of your pruning
knife: Prune so as to prevent forma-
ton of crotches; keep limbs free from
rubbing upon each other. Thin out
the top, to admit air and sunlight, but
keep it well balanced. Prune from
the top down toward the trunk,
rather than from the body up. Do not
cut OF the lower limbs, leaving the
trunk exposed to the rays Of the sun.
Train the heads low; let the limbs
come out close to the ground. It
means longer lived trees.
Prof. w. J. Elliott. Of the dairy de.

that the creamery and cheese factory
end of the dairy business has about
been worked to the limit, and that the
great advancement in the near future
ought to be in the direction of cutting
on the heads Of the 150-pound butter
cows and developing our herds 20 that
we may have the 300 to 400 or even
5O0-pound butter cows. With this in
view he has just started . system
of cooperation with every creamery
and cheese factory in the state of
Montana to see II he can, by a system
Of records. have every patron Of each
creamery in the state work toward the
development Of better herds. Need

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy eve yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
CURED. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most m]eritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

MY food was killing me and | didn't
know the cause" writes a Colo. young
lady. For two years l was thin and
sickly, suffering from indigestion and
inflammatory rheumatism.
Il had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that / try Grapee
Nuts, and l began at once, eating it
with a little rea or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day / am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. In the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from indi.
gestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.
Il know it is to Grape%Nuts alone
that I owe my restored health. 1 still

OF it," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quail
ity that never grows tIresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result Of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong, the or
gans do their work of building up good
red blood cells and OF carrying away
the excess OK disease making material
from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's a reason" Read

WHAT is A "WINDFALL7"
You Have to Go Back to William the
Conqueror to Get Story.

Conqueror to Get Story.
The origin of the expression wind
fall" which is used when one wishes
to refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time of William the Con-
queror. AT that time it was a criminal
offense to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other
purposes was such limbs as the wind
should happen to break and cast to
the ground.
On his account the peasants hailed
a great windstorm as a blessing, be-
cause it was apt to cast enough oil
'windfalls" for winter firewood. From
this old-time forestry custom comes
the modern application of the express
sion. At one time 1t was decreed that
only such limbs and whole trees as
should fall during the three summer
months could be used IS firew0od, but
the u%njustness of the act vas so plain
ly apparent that no attempt was ever
made TO enforce 1t.
