But the ardor of any would-be de-

the pen of George P. McCabe. Being
solicitor of the department of agri-

that particular brand of detectives
which looks after critters and pure
food. At the climax of his interest
ing story, just at the point where the
william enters with melodramatic
trimmings, Mr.. McCabe relates the
trials of the detective man. He as
serts that Conrad Shafer, depart
ment inspector employed in Wyo-
ming, was given a glorious pummel-
ing because he refused to certify that
a lot of cattle were dipped when he
knew that they had not been dipped
at all. Daniel Donahue, the owner
of the critters, had no use for such
a high-fangled detective man, and
forthwith waded into Shafer with a
dipping fork. When he finished his
expression of opinion, Shafer was I'M

One of the detective gentlemen in

him. His friends tried to stop him,
but were unsuccessful.
Finally, one of them took him to
Peoria, H., where there are many

around
"Now, look here, jim" said the

L. G. Youngs

The harvesting Of Concord grapes
In our section usually begins about
september 20. Picking is mostly done
by women. The picking price varies
from one to one and one-half cents for
the eight-pound baskets; for the 40
pound crate three and four cents is
paid. A days work consists of 1875
to IT'S eight-pound baskets, but some
extra swift pickers reach 200 baskets
In day. The cost of the eight-pound
basket with cover is two cents each;
that of the 40-pound crate, six cents.
Most of the packing is now done in
the field. A light stand is used, hold
ing three baskets. When the basket is
full, the picker, who is known by a
number, places the number on the
handle of the basket, also the number

lied at 100000 and plans to have one
of the largest plants in the United
States. This will greatly affect the
shipment Of grapes from our station
and give us a home market for much
of the grapes of our vineyards.
Women help board themselves in
the boarding houses that most of the
growers have built. These houses are
furnished with stoves, tables, chairs
and mattresses. The pickers provide
their own sheets, quilts and provisions.
Butchers, bakers and grocery wagons
visit those houses away from the town
and keep them supplied from the
stores. We have found it necessary to
insist on certain rules among our help.
There are always some of the girls
who will keep late hours If we allow
it, and by disturbing the tired ones,
put the whole force on the dry dock
for the next day. Therefore. fixed
hour for retiring is one of the most

Some varieties of COW peas have up

The pods vary in length from four to
IL inches.
The colors are as various as those

In shape they also differ; some are
round. others fat or kidney shaped.
The time for maturing ranges from
60 days to three or four months.
Drilling the seed is preferable when
hay is wanted.
After corn is laid by COW peas are
drilled in between rows and they will
WELD a fine pasture for stock after
the corn is gathered. When drilling
for this purpose the later kind are
best.
Three pecks to the acre for this
work. Peas should be sown not over
three inches deep and the soil must
be dry and warm.
When drilling for hay any after
culture aids very much in the yield.
When the peas begin to show signs

Each grower pays this organization
one-half cept a basket and one dollar

fund for loading and marketing. IL
this is more than sufficient for the
purpose, the balance is returned The
sales of grapes are pooled IN periods

the same price on shipments made
during the period. All the large asso-

If from any cause the market becomes

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal

And when the husband has dyspep.

food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.

my husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything l could
get for him, it seemed.
''He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up In q
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, !
got some and tried 1t for breakfast the
next morning.
I'VE all thought 1t was pretty good
although we had no idea of using 1t
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1T was the same next day and I
had to get IL right along, because when
we would get to the table the question,
