Not Afraid Of ! Ghost.

in a village in England, a month or
30 ago, man came running into an
Inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was ghost in his back
yard. There were Ia men in the inn,
and not one of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was person who dared, however, and
that was the landlords daughter, a girl
Of III. Some of the men followed her
at distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost tapping its
arms about, and discovered what? ?
That it was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt Tapping on the
clothes line in strong breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn cut.

Favors Acting in Time.

A brother in Sumter county, South
Carolina, writes in reference to the
state meeting of the union that it ap-
pears to be very necessary to have
such a meeting. Some of our trou-
bIes are due to representation. We
wait until the cotton crop is made
before trying to finance it. Whereas,
if we would finance our farms o. a
conservative basis for the first eight
months of the year more than half
the battle would be won, and the cot
ton crop would finance itself. Our
local unions need to be made live
farmers clubs, where the second
aries of farm management will occupy
as large part of the discussions as
cooperation in buying and selling.

About Fertilizers.

A few simple fertilizer maxims are
SO important that they should be
fixed in the mind Per cent is only
another way for saying parts in 100.
Fertilizers may be direct or indirect
in action The former contains need
ed plant food, the latter enables the
plant to get food from soil or air.
Lime is not plant food under common
conditions; it corrects a bad eondi-
ton of soil-sourness-and unlocks
soil materials Sulphate of iron (cop-
peras), sulphate of copper (blue
stone), sulphate of magnesia Epson
salts), and sulphate of lime (gyp-
sum-, are among these indirect fer
tiIiZers.

FROM A RECENT NOVEL
CrIminaIitv of Waste.

II I wanted to train child to be
thrifty should teach him to abhor
waste. 1 do not mean waste of
money; that cures itself, because very
soon there is no money to waste-but
waste Of material, waste of something
that is useful but that you cannot rep
resent in money value to the waster.
There is waste of water, waste of gas
and things of that kind, If you would
wish your children to be thrifty /
would beg to impress upon them the
criminality of waste.-Lord Rosebery,
in an Edinburgh Address.

farm are carefully considered? The
product of the farms for last year
alone is big enough to buy all the
railroads in the country.
The pessimist may say that one
year of good crop is not enough upon
which to base prophecies of good
times. Well, then take the last nine
years. In that time the farms have
turned off products worth $50, 000,0 0O,-
000-a sum so vast that it can only
be understood after careful analysis.
But it was enough to have kept the
prosperity wheels going around at a
rate never before witnessed in this
or any other country. And they are
still going. Crops this year will sell
for more money than ever before in
any one year.
The prices of farm products have

The farmer of today knows how to
make the land yield larger and bet

agricultural wealth, which is the
basis of our prosperity will grow IN
long upward leaps.
Our prosperity will be permanent.
There will be little temporary OBJ

Enforced Economy.

A friend of Pats was caught in a
shower near his cottage and asked
shelter from the elements. Pat opened
the door. One of the first things the
friend saw was rain coming steadily
through a hole in the roof.

Sunshine in the Dairy Stable.

A farmer, whose cattle have always
been kept in stable on the north side
of the barn, well lighted and ventilat-
ed. had occasion to enlarge his stable
building the extension with a south
ern exposure, into which the direct
rays of the sun were permitted to
enter with no obstruction. He discov-
cred by accident, what he subsequent
ly demonstrated by repeated expert
ence, that the same creature in the
sunlight took on flesh more readily,
ate less and produced more than when
kept in the stable where the direct
sunlight never entered. A4ore than
this, he proved conclusiVely that crea-
lures suffering with various diseases,
or reduced physical condition from di-
vers causes, recovered more readily
when afforded the energizing intiu-
ances of the sunshine.

If sheep of certain breeding meet
your ideals you had better obtain as
much of that blood as possible and
then continue along the same line.
If pedigree is of no value, why have
the worlds best breeders practiced
line breeding? They value it highly
because sheep whose sires and dams
are of a certain trype will produce
lambs with the same desirable char
acteristics. Although registered, GER
tain individuals may have short
pedigree, their ancestors are practi-
ca1ly unknown, and if with undesir-
able characteristics same will be in
evidence among the lambs sooner Or
later. Although there are exceptions
to all laws of breeding, to be rea-
sonably sure of the best results you
should know that your purchases
have high class ancestors.

Considerable alarm is being spread
among the growers of alfalfa in Okla

troublesome weed known as eruca

ad. 1t belongs to the mustard class
of plants. 1t is said the weed has
made its appearance in Kansas where
it has done much damage The only
way to get rid of it is to dig it up

NO MEDICINE
But ! Change Of FOOD cave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley. etc; which is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
phate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts
food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.

According to Secretary Wilson, the
value of the farm crops in this coun-
try for the last year will aggregate
eight billions of dollars. 1t is easy to
say eight billions, but the sum is SO
vast that it is cot so easy to compre-
bend it. No other agricultural nation
in the history of the world ever pro-
duced anything like this. No farmers
in the world were ever SO well off as
our farmers are today. Last year the
crops were large and the prices good,
but now the crops are large and the
prices better.
