As old age advances, we require less

Such an ideal food is found In Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action OF diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up under
the bran-coat of the wheat, are includ-
ed in Grape-Nuts, but left out of white
flour. They are necessary TO the build

Homemade Post or Wen Driver

Homemade Post or Well Driver.
Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms, If well sharp
ened and the right method is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one of the
most useful that a farmer can get up.
Uprights are bolted across to sled,
Or rough plank sled may be made for
the purpose.
The standards may be II or 10 feet
high. TO them is bolted cross bar
which supports the hoist for the
weight. For this a block of iron or
lead weighing not less than 25 pounds
must be obtained, and it must have a
staple or ring in 1t so it may be lifted.
The post is placed where it Is to be
driven and the weight lifted and al
lowed to fall on it, A little practice
will enable one to drive posts in soil
that seems too hard. The rig is useful
also in putting down driven wells.
To drive well Ia Inch pipe is pre-
ferred. The lengths should not be
over feet. The first pipe to be driven
must have point of iron or STEEL
Any blacksmith who is an expert at
welding can readily make point solid
in the end of the pipe, and then bore
numerous u inch holes in it for the
first IS inches of its length above the
point Before driving a coupling must
be screwed down tight and fast on the
thread that is to connect it to its mate,
so the thread may not be injured. Also
ON top of this coupling must always
rest block of lead or seasoned hick-
DRY, to receive and distribute the con-
cussion, to preserve the pipe from de-
struction.

and dirt to drop on the floor. This
dustpan, when closed, is in the form OF
box, one Of the sides of the box form
ing the front edge of the dustpan when
the latter is opened. In the top Of the
box are slots, through which extends

piyoted to the front edge of the box.
After the dust and dirt have been
brushed into the dustpan the box is
lifted by the handle. AS the latter is
drawn up the front of the dustpan is
drawn up, throwing all the dust into
the box, the lid effectually sealing the
front and preventing the accidental es-
cape of the contents in any way.

Regina, Sask., Nov. %, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration, Winni-
peg:
Dear Sir-It is with pleasure that
reply to your request. Some years ago
/ took up homestead for myself and
also one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between Rou-
leau and Drinkwater, adjoining the
heavy land. We put In 20 acres Of
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre, and 30 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went % bushels to
the acre. III the wheat we harvested
this year i No. l hard. That means
&c Hest Wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell am wheat
yet, as We Mt end to keep one part for
our own seei and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed, for
there is no doubt IL you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of first
class oats out of I60 acres Eighty
acres has been fall blowing, which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 80
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are the best
kind that can be raised. We have
shipped three car leads of them, and
got 53 cents per bushel clear. All our
grain was cut in the last week of the
month of August before any frost could
touch Ii.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfayorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself 1 feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
/ am, dear sir, yours truly,

MUST READ &c BOOKS A DAY.
That Stunt Necessary Just to Keep Up
with the American Output.

with the American Output,
Somebody has just figured 1t out that
man will have to read at the rate of
twenty-six books a day to keep up with
American literature alone. Last year,
according to The Independent, we broke
the record: 24S1 more books published
in the United States than in 1906. far
ahead of any previous year.
The total number for 1907 was 1920,
from which may be subtracted 695 new
editions, leaving 1926 really new books
appearing in the United States.
OF these 651T We're by American au-
thors or were new editions manufactured
in the United States. the others being by
English or other foreign authors or con-
sisting of imported editions, bound or in
sheets.
We are gradually making good our lit
erary declaration of independence, every
year producing a larger proportion of
the books we read, especially fiction. In
quantity If not in quality we are catch
ing up with England, where last year
1914 books appeared, only 294 ahead of
us. whereas in 1906 the English publica-
tions ontnumbered the American by

country the number of new publications
in religion was more than 30 per cent.
greater than the year before. and the vol

How TO Maintain the Fertility.

How Ia Maintain the Fertility.
Ii is a noted fact that where legumes
are grown on land, say two-ffths of
the time, which certainly should be the
case, the nitrogen supply is held. 1t is
also well known that the feeding of
the crops grown on the same farm, the
proper care of the barnyard manure,
and its application to the lands, will
return all the fertilizing ingredients
with the exception of such as compose
the animal BODY. and such other prod
ucts as wool cheese and butter as are
sold from the farm. They are actually
lost to the soil forever This loss is
represented on phosphorus and POTASH
UNI compounds, and can be supplied in
three distinct ways only. They can
be purchased in the form of feeding
stuffs for farm animals, finding their
way to the soil through the manure !;
or, they may be secured directly by
commercial fertilizers; and again by
the subsoil running down to a depth of
or feet from the surface.
Roots of all crops 60 down into the
soil from to feet. and take directly
the ingredients from the subsoil, and
upon their decay tend to increase it's
porosity. This assists the capillary
movements of water, which reacts as
an agent to carry fertilizing ingredi-
ents as they become soluble in the low
err soils up to near the surface. where
they are readily available to the feed
Ing roots of succeeding crops.

Experimenting with Lambs.

The Iowa Experiment Station re-
Gently marketed some lambs that had
been fed to determine the value of diff
ferent rations. Lot one was fed man
gels, lot two sugar beets, lot three corn
silage and lot four grain and alfalfa.
There was no material difference in
the condition of the lambs in lots one
and four at the finish. While the lot
given corn silage was in better shape
than the one given sugar beets, 1t was
not as good as lots one and four. 1t is
the claim of English shepherds that
succulent feeds are necessary in secur-
ing good finish on lambs, but the
above experiment indicated that while
the lambs fed such feeds made better
gains than others, there was not
enough difference to warrant the buy
ing of such feeds.
