CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nut,.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
MY little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which l fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared it as
follows: l soaked III tablespoonfuls
In one pint Of cold water for half an
hour. then l strained Off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls OF this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed it and gave
1t to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way I saved
babys life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
Ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect as
this. / can truthfully say l think it
Is the best food in the world to raise
delicate babies on, and is also deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong, healthy man or woman. 1t
stands for the true theory Of health.

The Potato Crop,

The potato crop is one Of the best
crops that any farmer can grow. Pc.
tatoes exhaust the land little In com.
parison with the money value OF the
crop. The tubers are composed very
largely Of water and starch, and the
leaves and salks fall on the field and
are plowed in. There are few diseases
that attack the potato, and they can
mostly be controlled by spraying.
Only one insect Of Importance has to
be fought, and that is the Colorado
beetle. 1t is SO big and easily found!
that destroying 1t is merely a ques.
tion of effort. Potato growing there.
fore seems to have less obstacles In
it's way than several other kinds OF
effort on the farm.

THIS AND THAT.

1t pays to have good fences at all
seasons of the year.
A poor old lantern is bad thing
to go through the winter with.
Throw it away and buy good one.
Fall plowing kills many injurious
Insects. which are thus turned up to
the air and the frosts.
1t makes great difference what
variety Of plant is grown on a farm,
as some yield twice as much as
others.
There is a great fight on between
commercial fertilizers and the ma
nure spreader. The latter, however,
seems to be still spreading.
After finishing the fall plowing
clean up the plow. grease the bright
parts and put 1t away dry. so 1t will
be rsady to use In tha spring.

WINTER BARN THOUGHTS.
Have the Comfort Of Live Stock In
Mind and Provide Good Conditions.

Winter is hard time for the stock
OF the farm. the best way we can fix
it. When you stop to think that natur-
ally stock are out-of-door creatures.
roaming in the fields, breathing the
pure. fresh air. and then think how
changed are the conditions when they
come to be shut up in tight barns for
such long portion OF the year. 1t be-
comes evident that the tendency must
be toward weakness and disease. So
it stands us in hand to make the con.
ditions just as nearly like those of
summer as We can. That is, we should
do our best to give the stock good
feed. feed that shall be nourishing,
and at the same time plenty of air
that Is free from disease germs.
1t must be that great deal Of the
sickness. such as tuberculosis, comes
from breathing the same air over and
over again in the close stables OF our
country.
By running a board shaft from the
stable, very near to the floor clear up

of the impure air out. You know
that air that has been breathed once
becomes heavier than it is at first.
There are loads Of impurity in simply
air that has been used in the lungs
Of man or beast. This settles toward
the floors. The shaft l have spoken
of will take that air, and there being
more or less Of draft through such
shaft. the foul air will be lifted out,
while pure air will come In from be-
low.
This pure air ought not to come in
so that the cattle must stand all the
time in draft. The windows should
be arranged SO that they may furnish
air without bringing a draft. Again,
these windows ought to be windows,
and not simply board slides. Good
sash windows that are fitted with
hinges to turn up out of the way are
by far the best. They let in light.
which is the greatest germ destroy
er on the face OF the earth.
And then, cattle should be groomed
every day. l know, writes Edgar l..
Vincent, in Farmers Voice, some
folks think this is waste Of time.
You will hear some men argue that
it actually harms cattle to be
scratched with currycomb. 1t
seems to me that these men do not
take a very reasonable view Of the
matter. Just look at cattle that are
not thus cared for. The minute they
are out in the yard they begin to rub.
and lick and dig themselves against
every fence post or anything else they
can get to, as if their hides were in
perfect misery. as l have no doubt
they are. We ought to save our stock
from this trouble by giving them q
good curryng every day.
With good feed and water, with
well-ventilated barns and good groom
ing, any man can keep his stock In q
healthy condition, even in winter.
And such things pay, for the work the
COWS do next year will largely depend
on the way they come out in the
spring. There never should be such
thing as Spring poor" Spring fat
is far better term to use.
