Farm Scales.

II consider that on a farm of 100
acres a good scales would be worth $50
to $75 a year, possibly much more. l
8 scales mostly for weighing stock,
hay and grains. There are times when
use scales every day." says a writer
in Farm and Home. "In feeding stock
you may take q small bunch of cattle
or hogs and by weighing each day both
stock and feed you can tell just what
the gain is per pound of feed. You
may change the feed and see which
gives the greatest gain IL you keep a
record Of your feeding while making
the test The scales are the only sure
way to determine profit or loss in feed
ing stock"

Small FLATS" or shallow boxes are filled
nearly full with soil. and after planting
the seeds the boxes are placed on top
of the manure, each one being cover
ed with q pane of glass. Thus each
box becomes q little hotbed with bot
tom heat. The glass is removed now
and then for air. and as the manure
becomes too hot the little boxes are
raised on bricks or blocks. On cold
nights they may be lowered upon the
manure again. The heat Of the ma.
nure in the box gradually goes down.
SO that the ''hot box" becomes a cold

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life
and all health dependent upon it.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re.
markable success in the sale Of his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: II am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such G record
wherever /. have introduced it. Ny
answer always is, because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women thaa
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They arc
just half-sick most OF the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. l have talked with thcu-

Grain and Stock Growers association
at Fargo. N. D., in what they regard
as the most successful convention in
the associations history. One day of
the convention was given over to hof.
ticulture and its various branches. The
subject of forestry was discussed by
G.. H. Whiting. a pioneer nurseryman:
Professor E. G. Cheyney Of Minneso-
ia, Professor G. B. Waldron of the
North Dakota Agricultural college and
G. A. Kupfer of the United States for
/ est service. One of the speakers at
the convention made a brief synopsis
Of the points emphasized in the dis
cussion on tree planting IS follows:
"There is no question regarding the
need for tree planting on the northern
prairies. Every attempt should be
made to protect the farm buildings.
animals and orchards from the severe
winds which are so hot and dry during
the summer and so terribly cold ans
dry during the winter months. Com
fort in the home, complete success in
stock raising and the avoidance Of
complete failure in orcharding demand
this.
"Too many Of the poorer. quick
growing. short lived trees have hereto
fore been used in the establishment of
windbreaks and wood lots. Many Of
these are now declining. This is no
sign that they should be abandoned or
entirely cut away. With proper man.
agement many Of the groves can be
made to reproduce themselves. Where
this is not advisable the dead and dy-
ing trees should be removed. The re-
malning trees will afford the shelter
required for establishing the new
groves, and before the last of the old
trees are gone young ones will be
ready to take their places. This pro-
lection is especially valuable in case
evergreens are used for the purpose
Of regeneration. The evergreens form
the best windbreaks, and their extern
sive use cannot be too strongly urged.
"There is no wonderful secret in sue
cessful evergreen planting. Care should
be taken to get hardy stock before
growth begins in the spring. Under
no circumstances should the roots be
permitted to dry out Before planting
cultivate the ground carefully. Do not
set trees loosely in the ground, as this
permits them to be blown about by
the wind and gives the soil the best
conditions for drying. Firm the soil
about the trees with the heel and then
sprinkle q little loose dirt over the
irmed surface. A mulch Of old straw
or hay spread over the ground between
the trees in the spring is very helpful.

or Russian olive planted around the

Among more recent converts to Mt.
Cooper's beliefs is Mr.. Edgar L. Kinds,
living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett,

the subject:
