FEEDING CORN FODDER.

Corn fodder is essentially a fall and win
ter feed. Stock of all kinds begin TO tire
OF il along toward spring. This may pe
because ii IS made a too exclusive feed
during the winter months.
Since the blades OF fodder are the most
palatable part, it should be so handled
and stored that these will not be broken
off or spoiled. The handling should be
lone In damp weather when the blades are
tough and there is little breaking. The
fodder should be placed In good managers
or racks where it can not easily be pulled
out and trampled under foot. Horses, cat
tie and sheep will eat a large part OF each
stalk IL the fodder is clean, well cured,
and presented to them IN clean recep-
tacles.
one reason why animals tire of fodder is
that II is fed by itself for SO long a time.
If Ii were alternated or supplemented with
other rough feeds the animals would rel
ish IT. for a longer period. Unless cut at
Just the right time and cured perfectly.
fodder is not a very nourishing feed. yet
it is a good rough feed for winter and car
be used TO good account for several
months to save better feeds for
more needy times, Do not try to feed the
entire crop to one class of stock, but give
them all a chance at it. Save all the rough
stalks and use them for bedding. They are
difficult to pitch in the manure. yet they
are good absorbents OF liquids and soon
decompose into humus when applied TO the
land.

Crust-MIssiOnary's Wife Made
Perfect Cures by Cuticura.
For several years my husband was
a missionary in the Southwest. Every
one in that high and dry atmosphere
has more or less trouble with dandruf
and my daughters scalp became so IN
crusted with it that l was alarmed for
fear she would lose all her hair. After
trying various remedies, in desperation
! bought a cake Of Cuticura Soap and
a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left
the scalp beautifully clean and free
from dandruff and | am happy to say
that the Cutlcura Remedies were a
complete success. l have also used
successfully the Cuticura Remedies for

ROSY AND PLUMP.
Good Health from Right Food


"It's not a new food TO me" remarked
a Va. man, In speaking of Grape-Nuts.
about twelve months & my wife
was In very bad health, could not keep
anything on her stomach. The Doctor
recommended milk half water but it
was not sufficiently n%ourishing.
"a friend Of mine told me one day to
try Grape-Nuts and cream. The result
was really marvellous. My wife soon
regained her usual strength and today
Is as rosy and plump as when a girl
Of sixteen
These are plain facts and nothing
/ could say In praise of Grape-Nuts
would e~xaggerate in the least, the value
of this great food"

Bishop Missed His CALLING.

From the Louisville Cour~ier-Journal
This story was told TO the late Bishop
Potter by Bishop Dudley, Of Kentucky,
of his personal experience:
He was on a hunting expedition near
Louisville, and happened to fall in with
a local sportsman, whose uncOncealed
admiration for the city mans marks
manship paved the way for further
conversation.
Whats your name?" the country
nan finally inquired.
Dudley" was the reply.
After some exchange OF incident and
experience, the bishops interlocutor
haZarded:
Say, Dudley, what business do you
tollow?"
I'm a preacher"
80, get out! What are you giving
'me?"
But I am. I preach every Sunday"
"Where?"
In Louisville"
"Well, l never! / never would ha'
thought it; You amt stuck up a bit
like most Of the preachers down this
way"
An invitation to hear his new made
acquaintance preach was accompanied
by a scrubbed card, and the next Lords
day saw the rustic in his Sunday
best" ushered into the bishops own
pew, where he listened intently to both
service and rmo
He was manifestly amazed afterward
TO have the orator of the morning come
down to greet him as cordially and
Familiarity as in the woods. He man
aged to stammer his thanks, and add
ed:
Il amt much of a judge of this kind
of thing, parson, but / riz with you and
sot with you, and saw the thing
through the best / knew how All the
same. If my opinion is worth any to
you, the Lord meant you for a hunter"

From THE Woman who Knows More
Than the Wife" in Golfers.
If the business girl has a headache
after spending an evening on the sofa
with a novel n d box of chocolates,
she does not ascribe her i~ndisposition
to the fact that she wrote 80 letters
the day before. Instead she puts q
ban upon the chocolates. and does II
there Is the key of it all-cheerfully.
If a second evening with a novel still
results in a headache, she consults an
occulist as a simple business precau-
ton. If the trouble lies not in that di-
r~ection, then it is lack OF exercise and
she discards the novel for a walk.
Further. she does not bemoan, either
publicly or privately, the chocolates
or the novel.
Her married sister would forget, or
never acknowledge, the real cause of
the headache, and remember tina the
maid was annoying, John stubborn, or
she sewed on little Elizabeth's
new frock.

that the pastor had forgotten to give
notice of a meeting OF the ladies of the
congregation.
Accordingly. the divine gave the no

Why NOT OWN N
One OF the Hest Ways to Make
Money IL TO Invest In Western
Canada

One or the Hest Ways to Make
Money IL TO invest I'm Western
Canada.
deep down in the nature of every
properly constituted man is the desire
TO own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely eX-
presses a well-known truth. The ques-
ton is, Where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices? and this the
same writer points out in the same
article. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers TO
Western Canada as presenting greater
possibilities than any other part of the
American Continent TO the nan who
is inclined to till the soil for a liyeli-
hood and possible competence. What
interests one are the arguments adj
vanced by this writer, and when fair
iy analysed the conclusion is reached
hat no matter what personal interest
the writer may have had his reasons
appear TO have the quality Of great
soundness. The climatic conditions of
Western Canada are fully as good as
those Of Minnesota, the Dakotas or
Iowa, the pr~oductiveness OF the soil Is
as great, the social conditions are on
a parity, the laws are as well estab-
lished and as carefully observed. In
addition to these the price of land is
much less, easier to secure. SO, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada--be en-
braced? The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
a while complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken Of the
country as an Eldorado, no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a
few letters, written by former residents
Of the United States, from which one
or two extracts are submitted. These
go to prove that the writer in the Reg
lister has a good basis OF fact in sup
port of his statements regarding the
excellency Of the grain growing area
Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alder
Ia. On the Goth of April of this year
w. r. Conley, OF L~ougheed, Alberta,
wrote to a friend In Detroit. He says:
"The weather has been just 1ne ever
since l came here In March, and | be-
lieve n could find, II he wanted to,
some small punches OF snow around the
edge of the lake. There Is a frost
nearly every morning at sunrise 1t be-
gins to fade away, then those blue
flowers open and look as fresh as If
there had been no frost for n week.
There Is no reason why this
country should not become a garden
Of Eden the wealth is in the ground
and only needs q little encouragement
from the government TO induce capital
In here. There is everything here TO
build with-good clay for brick, coal
underneath, plenty Of water in the
spring lakes, and good springs coming
out OF the banks"

A knowledge in their deep, unfaltering

That far out reaches all philosophy.

Their trembling hands cling gently TO

Sweet mothers! as they pass, one sees

Old garden walks, old roses and old loves.

hours. Still no sign of the messenger.

and decided TO have a look. The box
contained, carefully wrapped, q full

Intense excitement prevailed in De-
corah, Burr Oak, Bluffton and vicin-
ity on Sunday afternoon over the
report that murder had been COM
mitted between Burr Oak and Bluff
ton. The sheriff was telephoned for
and the coroner also, but after more
telephoning it was learned that the
man shot had only been injured and
the services of the coroner were not
needed.
1t appears that for some time there
has been considerable feeling be-
tween j. B. Hurone, who lives three
or four miles southwest of Burr Oak,
and Margan Cassel and Will Halse
of Bluffton township. The matter
eliminated on Sunday afternoon
about four o'clock. A picnic was
being held in Bluffton township, and
thinking that Hurone had gone to
the picnic, where his wife was,
Halse and Cassel went to Hurone's
home. it is said to procure some
wearing apparel, etc., which the for
mer said he had purchased for Mrs.
Hurone, his wife's sister.
AS Hurone was returning from a
trip through the woods with his so
calibre repeating rifle, he saw Halse
and Cassel going across the garden
to his house. He waited and watch
ed them. They went to the door.
which was fastened, and they pro-
ceeded to break in, and in a few
minutes appeared carrying some
wearing apparel. belonging to Mrs.
Hurone. Then Hurone called to
them to halt, and drop the goods,
but they started to run, and Hurone
shot at them, hitting Cassel in the
leg. Halse then stopped, and HUI
rome took him into the house and
kept him there under guard until the
sheriff had been telephoned for, and
Deputy Sheriff John Blaess went up
as soon as he could in an automobile.
Meanwhile Cassel was taken to the
hospital at Cresco. His injury is not
thought to be a serious one.
Deputy Sheriff Blaess arrested
Halse and brought him to DEBORAH,
also bringing Hurone down, but the
latter was not held, being released
promptly from custody.
Monday afternoon at one O'Clock
Halse was arraigned before Justice
r. F. Gibson and plead not guilty
He waived examination, and was
bound over to the grand jury, bail
being fixed at $1,000.
