tions Is 1t any wonder that the weeds
run out the forage plants, and that a
pasture with US is so frequently "a
place where grass does not grow?"
Briefly, then, II we want to get a
part OF that $500 more a year by
grazing live stock, let us first clean
up our idle lands, fence them and
plant forage crops, then keep down
the weeds for few months and
finally turn on them such live stock
as will be amply supplied with a con-
slant growth of forage.
Provide the feed before getting the
live stock, but when you have the
feed then give it to the sort of live
stock that will pay the most for what
they consumes Southern CuItivator.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or
inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength,
He knew that food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in marked stur-
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making it pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant, but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming, and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post, is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.

tie book. 1.-THE Road to Wellville. .

Spurs For Poultrymen.

Have you planned to build that
comfortable poultry house yet?
Provide variety of the necessary
foods for your poultry, and don't feed
only one kind.
Sell off some of your old mongrel
stock, and invest the money in pure
bred eggs or stock.
Place a few moth balls in each
nest box, to keep away body lice
from hens, Dust hens before and
during setting with good lice pow
der.
See If you can find an up-to-date
breeder, one who has good stock, and
uses printers ink to tell it, who has
not more demand for stock and eggs
than he can supply. Room for plenty
more breeders. Mrs ]. G. Deaton.

Must Have Pastures GROWING innings.

Must Have Pastures Growing Things.
If the South is to have pastures
that will produce sufficient feed for
live stock to make the business profit
able, there are few errors common
among us which must be avoided.
We have often insisted on the me-
cessity for the pastures being real
pastures. That is, that the growth
of other than forage plants be pre-
vented, and that forage plants Of
known value be planted and made to
grow, Otherwise we shall have no
pasture But something more is nee
essary to success. After we have
gone to the expense of clearing up old
Fields and putting in forage plants, it
should be plain to any one that these
plants should be allowed to get a
start and make some considerable
growth before being grazed, and that
at no time should more stock be
put on a pasture than the regular
growth of forage will amply feed
We generally put twice as many ami
mails on a pasture as it will Craze
properly 1t is also fact that our
pastures are usually overrun with
weeds, briers and bushes, while grass
is scarce. The reason is not difficult
to find. Nothing is done to keep
down the weed, while the grass and
other forage plants are kept eaten
close to the ground. The forage
plants don't get fair chance. They
are not only prevented from making
vigorous growth by being eaten off
close to the ground, but they are
smothered BIZ the weeds and other
useless plants. Under suca condi-
