Uncle Hiram. who wears whiskeys
and lives in comic weeklies, will be
delighted with the latest news from
New York. A man in the metropolis
has invented a device which enables
one to blow out the gas without fear
OF the consequences. BY a mechanism
too complicated to describe. the gas,
when blown out, automatically shuts
itself off So perfect is the coutriv-
ance. according to the inventor, that
even the gas bill ceases to run.

some people should interfere with his
simple, homely diversions. Blowing
out the gas he has always maintained.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD.

Facts About Food Worth Knowing,
1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that 1t will dt'
gest. Actual experience OF people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes Il
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack OF
typhoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food, and
then suffer such agony with my stom'
ach I would wish l never had to eat
anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it do not have to starve
myself any more, but l can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is thing of the past,
and 1 am now strong and we'll
my husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was put IN
der the doctors care but medicine did
not seem to do him any good until he
began to leave off ordinary food ana
use Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively sur
prising to see the change in him. He
grew better right off, and naturally he
has none but words of praise for
! Grape Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat
meal without Grape Nuts, and ne
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on H.
am satisfied that it is because Of the
great nourishing elements in Grape
Nuts"
There's a Reason

1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There aTs
many mothers who give their young

Growing Bush neans.

Bush or dwarf beans are easy to
grow and are one CT the best and most
popular of garden vegetables. A sue
cession OF them should be planted and
be coming on from the very earliest
summer till after the first frosts of
autumn. Beans of all kinds are some
what tender and are easily killed by
late spring frosts. yet they are easily
and cheaply planted and risk should
be taken in planting extra early. If
the first crop happens TO be caught by
frost, It is a very easy matter to plant
the same space over again and little
will be lost by the trial, as one prep
aration of the soil will serve for a
succession OF crops
For bush beans prepare the ground
early in a dry condition, working it
down to very fine and even seed
bed Make the surface soil especially
fine and loose, since the bean some
times has difficulty in coming up In
three or four days Give the young
plants clean and light surface cultt~a-

Milk Contamination.

There are a hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from

the milk is kept. The moment the
COW shows signs of being Ill, or wher
even a slight eruption is noticeable, q
person may contract disease by partak
ing of her milk. Impure water Is an
other way in which milk is contains
mated. If the cow Is compelled to
drink out of a mud hole, filled with
disease germs, she cannot help but
drink a large number Of those germs
into her system, some of them being
sure to reach her milk. Milking the
cow into an open pail when the barn
Is filled with dust, and from which
there hangs an untold number of dirty
cobwebs, or milking her in an offens
lively smelling lot, where the filth il
ankle deep, or milking cow whose
udder, TANKS and legs are covered with
dirt and filth-in such cases it is i'm
possible to avoid contamination of the
milk. 1t is believed that more disease
germs are given the human family
through milk than are given in any
other agency; and we also believe that
less attention Is paid to the care oil
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

Cooling Cren m

Different conditions on the farm
will govern arrangements for the cool
ing Of cream. Where wlndmills are
used many farms have cheaply CON
structed milk-houses in which can be
placed tank or half barrel. through
which all water Is led from the wind
mill to the stock-watering tanks. With
the cream cooled and held In these
tanks the arrangement is everything
required.
Where windmills and milkhouses
are not used, half barrel can be set
near the pump and a cheap shade con-
structed The water can be pumped
by hand with small expenditure of
time and labor. The cooling OF the
cream will heat the water. Run out
the warm water and pump a fresh
supply in which the cream can set
over night or through the day before
being added to the supply can. When
another lot of warm cream is to be
cooled, the operation can be repeated
A large box can be set over the barrel
to protect the cream from the sun.
The farmers ingenuity may suggest
some other protection equally as good.
There are a dozen or more arrange
ments. inexpensively and easily made.
which can be devised on every farm
for the proper care OF cream These
remarks suggest only the principle of
keeping the cream in good condition.

Cultivation of Corn.

At the several experiment stations
corn mas received more than it's share
Of attention. and many experiments
have been made In order to learn how
to derive the largest yields and to
grow the crop most economically.
Opinions differ, however, as climate,
variety and soil are factors governing
every crop. The Indiana station found
that the best results were obtained by
planting seed in May. It has been
shown that the greatest average yield
OF Doth ears and stocks have been OBJ
tanned when the stalks stood about
twelve or fourteen inches apart In the
rows. Thick planting, however, re-
duces the size of the ears, and tlhe per-
centage Of grain, but thick planting
has, in dry seasons, produced the
heaviest yield of stalks and the kigh-
est yield Of ears So far as depth CT
cultivation is concerned, the Yields
when corn was cultivated one, two
and three inches, have been equal. In
continuous corn culture heavy appli-
cations OF fresh horse manure have
not been profitable, but the enect of
very heavy application of manure
has been noticed for many years.
There does not seem to be much differ
ence in yields due to any particular
implement used, while hill and drill
paintings of corn have produced the
same average yields. The Checking"
Of corn Is still the most popular and
profitable mode OF growing the corn
at the least cost of labor The results
at one station may not correspond
with those obtained elsewhere, but
where the work has extended over a
number Of years, the results should be
accepted as important, if not conclu-

USEFUL TREES OF FLORIDA.
Great Variety Growing in the State
Durable Woods.

Durable Woods.
Florida has perhaps more useful trees
growing within her borders than any ota-
er state in the Union-a greater variety
But there is a general desire to introduce
more. as the soap berry, the tallow tree
and the eucalyptus.
An addition to the discussion Of the
latter, a tree which is very valuable be-
cause it has the unusual quality of grow
Ing with great rapidity yet furnishing
hard and durable wood, is furnished by
a letter to the editor of the Florida Fruit
and Produce News by r. e. Thomson
OF Avon Park. Mr.. Thompson says, in
part: Eucalyptus trees were first
planted here about 1894, and were In
jured by the great freeze but sprouted
and grew like orange trees. A few
eucalyptus trees planted later have made
such wonderful growth as to cause peo-
pie to look up, take notice and rubber
neck to see the lofty tops. The growth
in ten years is 8 feet around the body.
"The seasoned wood is hard as hickory
and posts show no decay in the ground.
The limbs, twigS, leaves and seed cases
make the very best fuel. Our people are
convinced Of the great value of eucalyp-
tus and are planting them up and down
the avenues and in the cemetery and
viii soon plant them in forest form"
In California some species of
eucalyptus show greatest development in
low places where rainwater stands and
in swamps, river bottoms, etc, though
they will endure drought, according to
bulletin of the University of California.
The durability of the wood, according to
other authorities, is due to an oil with
which it is impregnated and which Is
extracted for commercial purposes
