MEDITATlONS.

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 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 a 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.

openings. The escaping steam rises
in a sheet producing a moving cloud
effect, and when the colored lights are
played from ten or more searchlights
the result is a novel delight. Not only
colored lights but portraits. land
scapes, marine views and moving pic
lures can be thrown on the clouds of
steam in combination with changing
color schemes, says the Western
Electrician. One slide which calls out
special applause is the American flag
in its red, white and blue, and when
this is thrown on the steam, the wav-
ing effect is perfect and it is hard to
believe one is not actually looking on
q silk flag so feet in length.
The flags of all nations will be dis
played in this manner every night at
the jamestown exposition.

A Durable Gate.

the open fork is made round SO it will
fit the post.
A number of holes bored through
the top of 4 post, one under the 9th
CT, through any one Of which a bolt
may be placed This bolt c, 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
any height desired to make the pass
&geway under the gate large enough
to permit ingress or egress of the
smaller animals.
The drawing will explain the con-
struction.

Sheep Are Best Producers.

Prof. F. B. Mumford of the Mis-.
souri, experiment station says that
sheep produce more meat from q
pound of grain than any other class
of farm animals. In fact, pound of
mutton can be produced from about
half as much grain as a pound of beef.
Even Missouri's mostgage-lifting hog
requires more grain to produce
pound of human food than the sheep.
With the combination of corn and
clover hay for feed, the dry shed for
shelter, sheep Will always give good
account of themselves and respond
readily to the care given them.

she said, We drink nothing at meal

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 fiat that l was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the di-
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was a de-
cided success and | was completely
won by it's rich delicious favour. In a
short time l noticed a decided inn

THE DUST MULCH.
1t Prevents Evaporation of Moisture
ard 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
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 a 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.
