COVERING Raspberry Bushes.

We have not covered single rasp-
berry cane on our grounds for num-
Der of years, and have had good sue
cess with the varieties we grow on a
variety of soils. However, where 1t is
necessary to cover the plants. they
may still be bent to the ground at any
time when the canes may happen to
be thawed out SO that they will not
break too easily and covering with
stable manure, or any other material
that will hold them down to the
ground. AS we have before remarked
in these columns. winter cover is not
given so much to keep the plants
warm as to keep them from alternate
freezing and thawing and from ex-
posture to our dry thirsty winter
winds. by keeping this in mind. the
methods of covering a great variety
of tender plants may be better under
stood.

ENDED THE BIBLE READING.
Beginner Resented Wife's Enjoyment,
of His Mistake.

A Kansas City man, who had fol-
lowed stock quotations, football scores
and race form sheets more closely
than he had religious and literary mat
tiers, recently was persuaded by his
wife to read aloud each evening from
the Old Testament to improve the
knowledge of both on Biblical matters.
The man became interested In the
story of the scriptures and read aloud
several evenings with great gusto and
pleasure One night as he was swing
ing along he read: "And they horse
whipped> the beasts"
Hold on!" exclaimed his wife.
What was that?"
"They horsewhipped the beasts" he
repeated, and continued reading. His
wife got up from her sewing, crossed
the room, looked over his shoulder and
read:
They worshiped the beasts
There" she said, Il knew the word
horsewhipped was not In the Bible
He! He!"
The man closed the Bible with a
snap, clasped the snap. and that con.
cluded the readings for all time.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of the Coffee Troubles.


Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and / hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him / felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
eussion he decided to give it up.
ut was struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it,
and then 1t was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
result Of leaving off coffee and TAX
ing up Postum. Then / began to
drink 1t, too.
Although / was never as bad off
as my husband, l was always very
nervous and never at any time very
strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
l began to use Postum. Now / weigh

AN ACRE or PEACHES.
illinois Farmer Succeeds in Turning a
Good Profit from Trees.

John A. Gage, a nurseryman of JEFF
ferson county, H., has an acre of
peach trees that is proving very profit
able. 1t contains III trees, and for the
past few years has netted him about
500 per year. 1t is only nine years
old. The crops this year was a very
good one and the high prices paid for
peaches made it more than usually
profitable. He shipped TIT crates of
peaches to Chicago and received for
the best ones $1.40 per crate. In each
of these high-priced crates there were
40 or "A peaches. which made the price
a little more than three cents per
peach. He sold altogether 259 bushels.
His net receipts were about $3.50. after
deducting commissions, freight and all
expenses except picking and packing.
Examples like this are what stimu-
lates farmers to continue to try to
grow peaches, in spite of the many OBJ
stacles in the way.

From the center purline was placed

PEA wEEvILs AND THEIR WORK.
Examine Your Seed Before Planting
To Discover Presence of Pest.

There is only one generation of the
pea weevil each year, says s. A. John
son Of Colorado. The eggs are laid in
early summer on the outsides of the
pea pods when the young peas are just
beginning to grow. They are deep vel.
low in color and glued fast with a
sticky substance, which turns white
on drying. a
When the eggs hatch, the young
grubs burrow through the pods and
into the peas where they live and
grow until after the pea is ripe for
harvest.
The presence of the weevils In the
peas may be readily detected when
the peas are picked for table use by
the presence of a dark spot on the
surface, as though the pea had been
pricked.
Before going into the adult stage
the grub gnaws a round hole nearly
or quite through the skin of the pea,
SO that it may escape when the proper
time arrives.
A careful examination of the peas
before planting ought to reveal these
holes if they are at all numerous.
