FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

Was Coffee.
A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice.
however, that his wife had to writ
how he fooled his brother, clergy
man. one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided TO give Postum trial,
and we have used it now for four years
with continued benefit. I'm fact, he is
now free from the long train of ills that
follow coffee drinking.
ITO show how successful we are in
making Postum properly, | will relate
an incident. At a dinner we gave,
Doctor suggested that we serve Post
um instead of ordinary coffee
Doctors brother, a Clergyman, sup
posed it was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his second
cup, IF you do preach against coffee l
see you haven't forgotten how 20 make
it,"
This goes to show that well-made-
OStutu IluCD tic ud-
vor and richness of good coffee, al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
1t has none of the poisonous effect of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's a
reason" Name furnished by Postum

Colorado Potato Irriration.

The details of irrigation depend upon
the size and contour of the field TO be
irrigated. Many of the fields are ar
ranged so that the rows are from one
fourth to one-half mile long If the
land slopes sufficiently and continuous
~ across the field from the supply
ditch, the problem is simple At the
first application the water is turned
into a lateral at the head of the rows.
\ canvas dam is placed in the lateral
50 rs TO bold the water back and raise
IL into the rows. says Colorado bulle-
lin. After the water has run i'm these
rows sufficient length of time to thor
oughly wet the soil. the canvas dam is
pulled out and reset further down the
lateral. and the water is stopped by
blocking the heads of the irrigated
rows with soil. In large fields the wa
ter is run in alternate rows only.
The head of water let into the rows
depends upon the slope and length of
rows If the rows are short and the
incline steep, the head must be small
or the stream will reach the far side
50 quickly that enough water will not
be used TO thoroughly wet the SOIL On
the other hand. If the rows are long
and the land nearly level the head of
water is increased so as to force il
along the rows faster. or a transverse
ditch is cut through the middle of the
Id so as to shorten the distance that
the water has to flow. If ridges occur
in tie field transverse bitches are run
along at their top and irrigating is done
both ways from it. When the water
has run in the bitches till ii seeps
through to the unirrigated row, the soil
is sufficiently wet. At the second irri-
CATION the water is run in the rows not
irrigated the first time AS the vines
become large. the irrigation becomes
more difficult, owing to the lodging of
the vines in the bitches, till at last con-
siderable trouble is sometimes expert
enced to get the water through On the
other hand, as the vines grow larger
the soil is more protected FROM the sun.
SO that the evaporation becomes less
and the plants suffer less from the
want of water.

SCIATIC TORTURE
\ Locomotive Engineer Tells How
He Was Cured by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.


Pain that seems almost unbearable
is a characteristic of sciatic rheuma-
tism. In some cases the pain is
knife-like. Sharp or shooting; in 9TH
ers it is dull and aching. Sciatica
is stubborn in resisting treatment and
the patient frequently suffers for
years. This was the case with Mr..
Herbert E. Spaulding. a locomotive
engineer on the Cincinnati, New Or
leans & Texas Pacific Railway, whose
home is at Longview, Texas.
While running an engine some
years ago." he says, 81 fell off and
hurt my knee and spine AMI l have
always considered this to be the cause
OF my illness. The sciatica took hold
of me from my heel to the back of
my head. The pain was the worst

Harmonious ReIntionr.

The Marquis del Grillo, the first
husband of the great Italian actress,
Ristori, had as personal Wallets only
the most quick-witted young fellows
who could help hin i'm the practical
jokes IN which his eccentric soul de-
lighted
In one instance, says writer In
the New York Times. the marquis was
sitting at a piano, trying some church
music, when a new applicant was ush-
cred in. He did not stop playing, or
even glance round, but began to ask
questions The answers evidently did
not appeal to him, for he suddenly
struck a loud chord and, following the
tune OF the music, chanted in heavy
voice:
"You will not do for me-"
Then he rose. and without a look
room. The applicant quickly stepped
TO the piano, and striking the keys
with both fists. chanted back solemnly
in the same air:
I'm yery glad of it, because don't
like you a Bit"
Anyone else would have had the man
thrown out for his impudence, but the
marquis paused at the door and smiled
approvingly.
II guess we shall get on nicely, after
ALL" he said, please ntly. ''See my
magglordomo and speak TO him about

PICKED Cotton I'm tho SNOW.

Picking cotton in the snow was the
unusual experience that cotton pickers
in the Chicwasaw Nation, l. T.. were
confronted with after a snowstorm.
The cotton fields were covered with
about two inches of snow. but the. snow
was light and dry and little of it stuck
TO the opening bolls OF fiber. After
the storm had passed no time was lost
by the cotton raiSers in this section in
getting their pickers into the fields
Snow or the ground, the white bolls OF
cotton and negroes with overcoats and
gloves made an unusual picture In the
fields surrounding Chickasha.
The cotton crop in this section Is
very late, and much of it is unpicked
The only damage the storm did was to
break down some of the plants and
lower the grade OF cotton in the bolls
that were opened. More trouble than
ever will be experienced in getting cot
ton pickers, because negroes dislike to
pick cotton in cold weather. and many
of them have already left for the cot
ton fields of Texas, where they say
they never have to pick cotton with
snow on the ground.-Kansas City

Skim MIX For Hens.

The Department OF Agriculture has
received a report from the West Vir-
ginia Experiment Station of test
made to determine the value OF skim
milk as against water for wetting a
feed mash.
In the first test. which covered ~
days. twenty-five hens fed skim milk
laid 1,244 eggs, as compared with 99o
eggs laid by the twenty-five hens fed
mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second test,
sixty hens fed the skim milk ration
laid S62 eggs in thirty-seven days, as
compared with 632 eggs laid by sim
liar lot fed no skim milk. In the sec
ond period the rations were reversed.
The chickens fed skim milk laid 1.22O
eggs in fifty-six days, as compared with
91S in the case of the lot fed no skim
milk. In both experiments more eggs
were produced when skim milk was
substituted for water for moistening
the mash. Under the conditions pre-
vaiiing in these experiments and with
eggs selling for 90 or % cents per dozen
the skim milk used for moistening the
mash had feeding value of from IL
to cents per quart. In these trials
SOP quarts of skim milk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase in the egg pro-
duction of 702 eggs.
