Why this enormous patronage7
The answer is simple: Cascarets are pure, clean, sweet,
mild, fragraEc, harmless but effective little tablets for the treat
nlent and cue Of Constipation and all Bowel Troubles. They
are put up in r Eat little enamel boxes, easy to buy, easy to
carry lin vest-pocket or purse), easy to take and easy of action,
always reliable, always the same, they work while you Sleep
and wake you up feeling fine in the morning.
They not only regulate the movement and stimulate the muscular walls Of
out and destroying all disease germs that breed in the accumulated hh unless
promptly and regularly discharged. Therefore, they are a great preventive q
disease may be taken continuously as a precautionary MEASURE.
The new Pure Drugs Act, adopted by Congress IN June 80, 1906. and in
effect January l., 1907, is a GOOD LAW and means better and PUREF
drugs for the American People. We endorse it and will live u to it in
SPIRIT and LETTER-an easy task, as we have always been actuate6
by the same principles and n 10 changes are required lin our formula n pack
We adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUG LAW in 1896 when the frs,

duced under it " since.
To-day. after a record Of nearly 10000 GOO boxes SOLD, cascares STAND
the greater in PURITY, QUALITY and MEDICINAL MERIT than any
other preparation fer Bowel trouble in all the world.
hi should be a great argumentf for any one, o try Cascarets AT
ONCE. and be healthier and happier for it. Some people have CHRONIC

1TUAL C0NSTIPATIoN from carelessness and neglect, but nearly
promptly taken care OF is liable to result in it's degeneration into the worse

l think not many farmers realize
the value Of the main roots Of corn or
the nature of the growth. One sum-
mer discovered tia the roots Of
some Of my corn six weeks old were
as long as the stalks, and they spread
out five or six inches in all directions
beneath the surface. In the first cult
walton | hold the shovels as closely
as possible to the young hills Of corn
and allow them to go down five inches
or more in order to loosen the dirt and
permit the air to freely circulate in
the soil.
After the first blowing l use my sur
face riding cu%ltivatOrs with four
blades. two Oh each side of the row,
about twenty inches long and three
inches wide, that skim under the sur
face, about W. inches, and behind the
blades is n drag which is held at a
proper angle E q stiff spring. This
drag should be so set as to level the
ground and at the same time 1t will
pull to the surface and leave exposed
to the sun all weeds hat have been
cut off by the knives two inches be-
low. The cutting of the weeds below
the surface Will destroy the roots and
the tops being left on the surface will
soon dry out and uie.
| don't believe any general rule can
be drawn as to how many times corn
should be cultivated other thar to say
again good judgment should be used
according to condition OF season and
soil. Sometimes it Is only necessary
to cultivate three times; at other times
wo must go through the fourth, and
in extreme cases / put men into the
field with single horse and a small five
70 eight toothed surface c%ultivator
after the corn is well in the tassel.
This latter would occur during an ex-
trelnely dry year.
l am not in favor of ridging corn
with our Central Illinois prairie soil
when laying corn by. Instead prefer
to have my surface plow blades set at
an angle 50 they Will barely throw q
light covering into the hills, which
may cover up any small weeds, but not
to make what one would call a ridge.

III preparing vegetables for the table

ed by careless pairing, etc, all these
losses being grouped together IN re-
porting analyses under the name ref

amount may be small in such vegeta-

vegetables as onions, cabbage, leeks,

the average amount OF refuse is 20 per

the total amount of refuse is as small
as Is consistent with good quality. Thin
pairing Of potatoes and other vegetables
Is an economy which 1t Is worth while

EfEhtinu the Potato Buzz.

Potato bugs are like interest on a
mortgage-they work days and nights.
When the brUods first begin to hatch it
is the time to act. The only remedy
practical md effective known at pres
ent is paris green. This Is mixed with
water and scattered on the plants. The
spraying apparatus Is too well known
to be described here.
To each barrel OF water use seven
pounds of cheap -four and one pound
of paris green. Mix the poison and
flour in Il bucket containing about two
gallons Of water and stir until thor
ouShIy mixed.
When the whole mixture is thor
oughly mixed pour into the barrel Of
water on the spraying machine and
keep the contents Of the barrel well
stirred while the sprayrr is in motion.
The only serious objection to this
screens in the pump. This can be
avoided by having the screens so they
can be taken out and reinserted
quickly.
The screens can thus be taken out
and cleaned in a short time and the
spraying go on without further inter-
ruptiOn. The operation may seem trou-
hIcsome at first, but one spraying kills
al the bugs and it doesn't matter If It
rains within two hours after It is ap-
piled.
Dew and rain will not wash 1t off
and traces of it will remain for two
weeks and continue to destroy all new
l,G tchtngS of insects.
The Jour forms a paste that catches
all t!r particles of paris green and in
turn ndheres to the plant leaves. In
It tlrld sprayed thoroughly In this way
a second operation is not necessary.
The bump may be put away and the
grower rest assured that he Is through
for the season.
The spraycr should not be driven too
fast. but each plant be allowed to get
its full share of the poison. One bar
rel of this mixture should be enough
to cover about two acres.

burn All Dead Animals.

Burning is the surtSt anu safest way
of dealing with contagious diseases Of
live stock. Outbreaks Of disease have
frequently been traced to the careless
disposal of the carcass of III infected
animal. burning Is much more effcc-
tive than burying. as the germs of som"
diseases, rs anthrax for example, re
tain their virility for n considerable
length of time. Then in burying car
casscs. unless they are placed very
deep in the ground, there is always
more or less danger Of their being root
ed or dug up. Dogs will dig open such
graves and hogs will root them out.
Those who have attempted to bury a
hog or horse will readily appreciate
the statement that If is easier to burn
than bury them. 4 little kerosene and
a brush heap will soon dispose of a
carcass, with the certainty that all
germs are destroyed. Some recommend
the construction of a specially arranged
furnace for this work, but or the or
binary farm fhis would doubtless be an
added expense. 1t will not be a diff
cult matter on any farm to gather
enough trash, such as brush old rails.
etc, to burn a dead animal n the ex-
