The Wisdom Of saadl.

Two persons took trouble in vain

and he who taught wisdom without
practicing it. How much so ever you

Hay Stacking Outfit.

Zach stack should contain four or five
tons, as the larger the stack the less
loss by the weather.
The center of the stack while build
ing should be at all times the highest
or fullest. This will prevent leaks and
much damaged hay. The dotted lines
in the stack show the position of
sticks that hold the cap.
For the cap select and straighten a
bunch of the longest hay; tie in the
shape of a bundle of grain, then tie
four or five times between center and
tip. Let the stick end extend out of
the stack about two feet, over which
place cap. Then spread out the butt
of cap to form roof over stack.
Do not wait until the hay is ripe
before you get out the machine or
make the sticks to go in the top of
stack. Have few poles or rails handy
on which to build the stacks Stack

SiIaae in Place Of SoiIina.

A pasture will carry much more
stocks during spring, early summer
and fall, than it will through the hot,
dry weather of midsummer says the
bulletin Of Illinois station. By helping
the pasture out at this season with
partial soiling, the cattle rot only
have better feed during this critical
period, but more stock can be car
rieG on given area than by pastur-
ing alone. AS land increases in value
and farming becomes more extensive,
there is greater need for soiling and
the most satisfactory method of pro-
Viding substitute is by means of the
sllo. 1t requires too much labor to cut
green crops every day and haul them
to the COWS, and besides there is nee.
essarily great loss in being Obliged
to feed the crops before they are fully
matured and after they are over-ripe.
No crop furnishes more feed to the
acre than corn, and with the silo it
can be utilized for soiling, thus per-
mitting the whole crop to be harvested
when at the right stage of maturity
and fed when needed, saving both
feed and labor.

full power in seemingly increasing

length of them at one glance.
AS every place has differing cond
tions calling for differing plans, this
phase of the subject may be left with
the suggestion that where rounding
a building is not practicable, bit OF
special planting will break the line OF
view and is desirable, also, as a means
of securing additional beauty.
Viewed from the standpoint of labor

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-

foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will

valuable to anyone interested in foods.

four years, ever since an attack of ty-

since using it l do not have to starve

my husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not

the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris.
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off. and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on 1t.
I am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing eleiuents in
Grape-Nuts.'

BEAUTIFYING THE
FARM GROUNDS
Well Kept Driveways up to Rest.
dence Shows Good Taste-By
Eva Rayman GaIIard.

Looking at the grounds surround
ing the farm and suburban homes
through the country. the lack of we'll
planned and well-cared-for driveways
is noticeable.
Granting that every foot of unnec.
essary driveway represents added
labor. and admitting that it must be
well cared for, or take from rather
than add to the beauty of the place.
brings one to the same fact that must
be faced in securing anything worth
having-it means work.
When considering the question of
whether or not the work is really
worth while, the first thought is. natu-
rally. of the beautifying effect of the
curved lines as contrasted with
straight ones.
Such consideration, if carried far
enough, will show that spaciousness
