IMPROVING DuirN stock.

\ 2-year-old heifer, fresh in milk,
will sell for more than n fatted steer
ana she will cost only half as much
to produce. These grade COWS are not
hard to produce. Purchase a pure sire
of one of the standard breeds cross
him upon the mixed stock now on the
farm and the young will, in all useful
characteristics, be far more than half
of that pure breed. When we remem-
her the years, even centuries, of pure
breeding in these animals, and remem-
Der also that the purer the blood in
any stock, the stronger will be- that
blood, 500 or $50 for a male of
breeding age will not seem an extrava-
CANT price. Every neighborhood where
there is any cooperative spirit should
prepare to supply this demand for
fairly well bred cows. Every male
purchased should be of the same breed,
be purchased every two Or three years.
BY exchanging these animals about the
neighborhood, a farmer will then be
paying 500 or $780, not for two years.
but for six or ten years Of service.
The cows thus produced will find a
more ready market, because there are
q sufficient number to attract purchas-
ers. Higher priced males may also
be purchased with economy because of
the much longer period of usefulness.

The Family Cow.

Families that keep only one COW
should endcavor to have the best ami
nal that can be procured. More labor
is required to care for single COW,
proportionately than for herd. A
COW for the family should give a large
flow of milk for at least ten months of
the year, and the milk should contain
not less than 4 per cent of butter fat,
as cream is one of the essentials. IT
Is better to have COW that gives even
richer milk, but the majority of fami-
~ COWS are selected without regard TO
merits in that respect 1t is difficult
to rear the calves in such cases, hence
in purchasing the family COW it will
be profitable to pay high price for
superior animal.

Wagon Box Device.

There are various ways of removing
a wagon box from the trucks, and one
of these IS described in Iowa Home
stead. The upright pole IS by by Il
feet and is set several feet in the
ground, so that it will be firm enough
in its position to stand the strain which
is required of it. The platform on
which the rear end of the wagon box
rests when it is to be raised from the
wagon may be made any height so as
to suit the height of the trucks Two
guy wires should be attached to the
pole a foot or so from it's top and be
secured eight or ten feet in the rear Of
the platform. The rope which is used

The Small Garden.

The small garden is the one that
gives the owner pleasure. Probably
the majority Of those who cultivate
small gardens make no profit, but ac-
tually suffer loss, when the crops are
compared with the prices received and
the cost of seeds, fertilizers and labor.
But there is considerable pleasure de
rived, the value of which cannot be
estimated. No matter how small the
plot owned or rented may be, the one
who can bestow portion of his time
to the cultivation of crops the coming
spring should do so. There are some
things grown in Il garden that cannot
easily be procured in market, when the
freshness and quality are considered.
No one can buy tomatoes in market
equal to those taken from the vines
and placed in fresh condition on the
table. If the plot is very fertile, and
is rot equal to more than half an acre,
the amount of produce that may be
grown thereon will supply a whole fam
ily from early spring until late in the
fol-. Beginning with onions and peas,
beets, carrots, parsnips and early cab
bage, followed with string beans, Lima
beans, tomatoes, corn, turnips and late
cabbage, two crops can be grown on
the same location during the season.
Potatoes need not be planted in a gar
den, as this crop demands protection
from the beetle. In April or May, If
desired. a small strawberry patch may
be started, which will come Into bear
ing the following spring.

WEAK PEOPLE

General Breakdown Caused by Defi-

Client Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.
A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon This is mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. J. G. Havey, Of 95 Willow St.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: 81 was sick for
number of years from general debility
and indigestion. l was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were SO
shattered that the least excitement I'M
fitted me for any serious work. My
sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for month
or two. My sight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be blur constantly before my
eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and the attempt to do so
completely exhausted me.
Il was finally forced to give up q
position l had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, I read Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them trial. They
made me feel so much better and so
much stronger that I started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. l have
never had return of my former sick
mes and cheerfully recommend DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have long
been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of Indigestion and gem
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs of the body are weakened
and disoriered simply through lack of
proper nourishment. They have also
been especially successful in curing
ansemia, rheumatism, after effects of the
grip and fevers.
A pamphlet on Diseases of the
Blood and copy of our diet book will
be sent free on request TOT anyone inter-
ested.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt

Onions with sweet Peas.

If you have early peas SOW them in
a block rather than in long drills. As
soon rs they are harvested, plant
squash, says Suburban Life. Hubbard
does we'll after early peas if water is
ample.
If sweet peas are grown, Il row of
onions may be grown on each side of
the peas without detriment to either.
The evergreen onion is particularly
well adapted to this. On rich soil it
natures long before the peas bloom
and may be harvested.
Late cabbage may be set In the rows
Of early onions and make their growth
after the onion harvest. The writer

lustration. there is often foot or two
Of space to be divided between the two
sides. AS our readers who have had
experience in dehOrning know, an ami
mai will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute and thereby cause constant ag-
gravation. The chute proper is mount
ed on two heavy timbers which may be
4x4's or 4X6's, while the uprights are
generally 4X4's. The stanchion is made
to open and close and secured in any
way that suits. The convenient part of
the chute is the trough shaped part
marked H. This is made of two-inch
stuff and securely fastened to bottom
crosspieceS. After the animal is secur-
ed i'll the stanchion a halter Is thrown
over its head and the halter rope is
passed through the hole just below the
letter II. The letter 4 shows a contin-
uation of this rope to the pole which is
used as lever to bring the animals
head into position on the trough.
AS soon as this is accomplished the
rope b is thrown over the neck of the
animal and secures the head firmly to
the trough, when the dehorning opera
ton may be performed. AS soon as the
operation IS concluded the animal is
unstanchioned and one of the sides OF
the chute is hinged so that it may be
opened for the animal to escape from
the chute, after which is closed and
another animal is driven in.--Montreal

Sparrow Hawk Killing Off Sparrows

Charles Wall, who lives north of town,
says that the English spar rvs in this
part of the country, which have been
such pest for good many years, are
no longer increasing in numbers and that
they have almost entirely ceased to be
the nuisance they 70 merly were
The reason lac gives is that the spar
row hawks are killing them off and that
the sparrows II not multiply fast as
the hawks do away with them. The
sparrows. he says, stay near the build
ings for fear of the hawks and do not
get into the fields and yards to do the

A Decorating Chute.

While there are great many cattle
that lose their horns by dehorning
fluids and preparations of this kind in
calfhood, there are a great many that
come to maturity with an ugly pair or
horns that create a great deal OF trou-
bic in the feed yard. We have received
quite a number of inquiries Of late re-
questing a plan for good dehorning
chute. Accordingly we have here re
produced a most convenient and salts
factory chute.
One Of the good points about this
chute Is the hinged doors on the rear
end which make it possible to adjust
the chute to any sized barn door.
