experiments with Stable Manure.
At the Maryland agricultural sta
ton two sets of experiments with sta
Die manure-one covering three years
and the other seven years-haye been
conducted.
The results as a rule favored the
use Of fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotten ma
nure. The best results were obtained
by applying the manure as long in adj
vance Of the time the crop was to use
1t as possible. AS between applying
fresh and rotted manure before and
after blowing, the results favored ap-
plying fresh manure as a top dressing
after blowing. In q comparison of
blowing under manure in the fall and
spring, the differences were slight, but
uniformly in favor of allowing the
manure to remain on the land during
the winter and blowing it down in the
spring Subsoiling in addition to deep
blowing did not show sufficient advan-
tage to warrant the extra expense in
volved. The use Of kainit with the
manure seemed to exert a beneficial
influence every year, and it was more
marked in dry than wet seasons. The
growth Of crimson clover was better
on soils receiving fresh manure than
on those treated with rotted manure

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think of Western
Canada.

What They Think of Western
Canada.
A party Of editors from a number
of cities and towns of Minnesota re-
Gently made a tour of Western Canada,
and having returned to their homes
they are now telling in their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the Min
nesota editors from Winnipeg to the
Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring
to what has happened in the interval
the writer says: Thousands Of miles
OF new railway lines have been built,
and the development Of the country
has made marvellous strides. Millions
Of acres, then lying in their wild and
untouched state, have since been trans
ferred into grain fields. Towns have
sprung up as if by the wand Of a
magician, and their development is now
in full progress. 1t is a revelation, a
record of conquest by settlement that
is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader characterizes
Western Canada as "a great country
undeveloped. The summer outing" it
says, was an eye-opener to every men,
Der of the party, even those who were
on the excursion through Western Can
ada ten years ago. over considerable
Of the territory covered this year, being
amazed at the progress and advance
ment made in that short space of time.
The time will come when Western Can
ada will be the bread-basket of the
world. 1t WAC delightful outing
through a great country of wonderful
possibilities and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
government has revised it's land regula-
tons and 1t is now possible to secure
160 acres of wheat land at ::$3 an acre
in addition to the. 100 acres that may
be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 have been. splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan, there
are reported yields of thirty bushels of
spring wheat to the acre, while the
average is about twenty bushels. The
quantity Of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bushels.
Information regarding free lands and
transportation will be freely given by
the Canadian government agents.

Pumpkins for Cows.

Dairymen hold different opinions rs
to the value of pumpkins for COWS and
as rule the great field fruit Of the
East is not very much grown in the ir-
rigated regions. Some claim that they
are a positive injury. 1t is certain,
however, that if fed to COWS at all they
should be given in conjunction with
concentrated feed and necessarily in
limited quantities. When fed thus the
pumpkin is valuable as a fall feed for
COWS. 1t has one distinguishing feature
as a stock food, which nothing else pos

SEVERE HEMORRHOIDS,

-Cutfcura's Efficacy Proven.
Il am now so years old, and three
years ago l was taken with an at
tack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding
and protruding. The doctor said the
only help for me was to go to a hos
pital and be operated on. 1 tried sew
eral remedies for months, but did not
get much help. During this time sores
appeared which changed to a terrible
itching eczema. Then l began to use
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, in
jecting a quantity of Cuticura Oint-
ment with Cuticura Suppository
Syringe. It took q month of this treat
ment to get me in a fairly healthy state
and then 1 treated myself once day
for three months and, after that, once
or twice a week. The treatments
tried took a lot of money, and it is
fortunate that | used Cuticura. J. II.

Care of Horses.

For horses that are being worked
hard ground grain Is better than whole
grain, but we believe that when con-
centrated feed is fed it should have
some light feed mixed with it to act
as a divider-bran, cut hay, or even
clean oat chaff moistened will assist in
digestion. If dusty hay is fed sprinkle
with water and it will save the horse
much annoyance. The necessity of a
change Of diet from concentrated grain
food to more bulky food is increas ed ac-
cording to the amount of confinement to
which the horse must be subjected.

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to
Postum.

After Changing from Coffee to
Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those whose
nerves are very sensitive, as is often
the case with talented persons. There
is simple, easy way to get rid Of
coffee evils and Tenn. lady's expert
ence along these lines is worth consid-
ering. She says:
almost from the beginning Of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By
the time l was fifteen l was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unStrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything could
eat that would agree with me. The
little l did eat seemed to give me more
trouble than it was worth. l finally
quit coffee and drank hot water, but
there was so little food 1 could digest,
l was literally starving; was so weak
i could not sit up long at time
1T was then a friend brought me
hot cup of Postum. I drank part of 1t
and after an hour 1 felt as though
had had something to eat-felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago and, after continuing Postum
in place of coffee and gradually get
ting stronger, to-day I can eat and
digest anything l want, walk as much
as l want My nerves are steady.
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward start,
was Postum, and l use 1t altogether
now instead Of coffee" There's a

WATERPRoOFING MATCHES.
Simple Method That May Be of Use to
Campers.

Perhaps some of your readers would
be interested to know that l have found
simple, inexpensive way to water
proof matches.
Into some melted parafin (care being
taken that it was as cool as possible) l
dipped a few edinary parlor matches.
After withdrawing them and allowing
them to cool it was found that they
scratched almost as easily as before be-
Eng coated with the wax. Several were
held under water for six or seven hours
land all of them lighted as easily as be-
lore immersion. When the match is
scratched the paraffin is first rubbed off
and the match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing is required to light
them than the ordinary match, it would
be practically impossible to set them on
ire by accidental dropping. - Scientific
