Merely because he saw fit to say
what he believed to be true, Ignatius
G. Dunn, a lawyer of Omaha, has
been deprived of his means of liveli-

believes what Dunn said is the truth
will contribute a dollar a year to
Dunn's support, Ignatius will have
plenty to live on for years to come.

Comm erciaI Value of CornstaIIxs


After numerous experiments the
chemists of the Bureaus Of Forestry
and Plant Industry assert that paper
can be made from cornstalks by very
nearly the same process employed in
making it from wood pulp. Moreover
they are confident that when machin-
cry has been perfected the cost of max.
ing paper from cornstalks Cat present
such paper costs about q dollar a ton
more to make than wood pulp paper)
will be a little over half what it is
now.
Two grades of cornstalk paper have
been made, a white paper made from
the outside shell Of the cornstalk, and q
yellow from the pith. 1t has taken
fifty years to develop the present meth
DDS of making paper from wood pulp.
DR.. Fl. S. Bristol, the head Of the bu-
reau, believes that when proper ma
chinery is built and the farmers real.
iZe that a good revenue may be derived
from the sale Of cornstalks, paper will
be manufactured from the new ma
terial at half the present wood pulp
paper.
With wood at So a cord, paper is
made from wood pulp at cost of $13 a
ton. Cornstalks can be bought for So
ton and the paper made with the
present primitive machinery for $14 a
ton.

TRANSPLANT A BIG OAK.
Great Tree Is Moved 200 Feet and
Thriyes in New Position.

An interesting illustration of trans
planting large tree was given recently
at the grounds of the CrockerW heeleI
company's factory, at Ampere, n. j..
near East Orange. An oak tree &C
feet in height, whose roots occupied a
space in the earth about one and a half
feet in diameter, was lifted several feet
in the air by means of a huge lOcomo-
tive crane, carried more than 200 feet
and safely deposited in its new abiding
place in front of the new Ampere post
office building.
The work however is always a diff
cult one and requires the utmost care in
order to preserve the life of a tree. The
removal of this big oak at Ampere was
the most ambitious experiment in tree
transpl&nting undertaken, says the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger.
In excavating to loosen the roots il
was found that the ground had been
filed in to a depth of four feet since the
tree was originally planted, and it was
necessary to go down seven feet to get
at the roots. Many of them shot out in
various directions beyond the main body
of roots, necessitating tunneling to free
these offshoots SO that they might be
taken up with the tree. 1t was esti-
mated that the weight of the tree, with
the mass of dirt adhering to the roots.
would be almost IS tons, and the loco
motiye crane that did the job had lift
ing power Of 90 tons.
After the proper attachments were
made the tree was rocked backward and
forward a number of times to loosen the
roots completely, and then DIR. Wheeler
gave the signal to lift. Up rose the 60
foot oak in the air, great quantity of
earth clinging to the roots. Carrying the
tree. the crane was run down the track
more than 200 feet, where it was safely
a. in hn1 fin
ture home. The roots were carefully
arranged, workmen filled in the cavity
with earth. and Amperes transplanted
been visited by a number of persons.

The Feeding of DOES.

A dog should not be fed on meat
alone under any consideration. Be
sides making him a nuisance It makes
him naturally carnivorous and often
savage If he is always fed at the
conclusion of certain meal-dinner,
for instance-he will wait patiently
until the prescribed time. 1t is a
good plan to feed after ones midday
meal, giving plenty Of green vegeta-
bles, bread and potatoes, with a very
few scraps of finely cut meat, the
whole well mixed and some gravy
poured over it. If two meals are Civ
en-, one should be at breakfast time
and one in the evening. One should
consist of only little oatmeal and
milk or q piece Of dry dog biscuit At
no time should the dog have more
than he will eat, and if he leaves any
thing his allowance should be reduced
or d meal omitted.-Journal of Agri-

In what kind Of a shell are your
farm machinery and tools? asks the
Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. Many
farmers have big machine shed with
the sky for a roof This is a roomy
house, but it has the disadvantage of
being leaky when it rains, and water
ts not the best thing for wood and
iron
SO many complain that net profits
Of farming are small. No wonder,
when they are compelled to purchase a
new binder or cultivator nearly every
summer. These machines ought to and
will last for many ears if properly
cared for.
Now is the time, If 1t has not al
ready been done, to get all tools and
implements carefully stored away in
dry buildings. On rainy days or at
odd times all the wood and iron work
should be coated with oil or axle
grease to prevent rust and decay. This
will not only make them last longer,
but will keep them bright and sound
for immediate and satisfactory use
when they are taken out next spring
Rusty wheels and bearings will not
run smooth, and the rusty pillow is
veXation when the new season opens
for rush work. A cents worth of oil
and a minutes work now will save an
hours work of securing and swearing
next spring.
Men who get rich and have money
to lend make it a point to prolong the
life of their farm implements by shell
tering them and keeping them well
oiled and painted. Why not you?

Ov~ccrowdfng Chickens,

The great loss each year from over
crowding runs up into thousands of
dollars. This can easily be remedied
by spending few cents each for a
number of piano boxes. Two gunny
sack partitions may be put in these
boxes, and each one will accommodate
several hundred small chickens. Fifty
small chicks is the largest number
that can safely be housed together.
Most overcrowdfng is found III brood
ers, and the most common mistake
made is not to consider the rapidity
with which a chick develops and hence
the necessity of more spacious quar-
tiers. The secret is to separate the
chicks into small lots and never to let
them pile up. Overcrowding results in
lack Of exercise, food and drink,
which means bowel trouble and other
diseases. Lack of pure air weakens
their system; 1T is better to Gull out
half of your flock and raise the re-
mainder in health and vigor than to
overcrowd them and suffer the loss
Of your whole flock. Keep the quar-
tiers clean to rid them Of mites and
lice which sap the life out of them
in a short time.
Never allow the young stock to be
confined in houses and yards that are
occupied 0y old birds, as they tramp
and run over them, and thus stunt
their growth. Stunted chickens are
like stunted pigs-no good at all; they
may pull through to maturity, but
they can't develop into healthy birds.

NO MEDICINE.
Bat a Change of Food Gave Relief.

But Change of Food Gave Relief.
Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
WORKOUT nerves, but proper food is
required
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat barley, etc, which is
grown there by nature for food to
brain and nerve tissue. This is the
phosphate of potash, of which Grape
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That is why SO
many heretofore nervous and rundown
people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.
II can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me as a nerve remover,
writes a Wis. bride:
a few years ago, before my mar
riage, l was a bookkeeper in a large
firm. | became so nervous toward the
end Of each week that it seemed l
must give up my position, which I could
not afford to do.
Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts
and we found it not only delicious, but
1 noticed from day to day that l was
improving until 1 finally realized I was
not nervous any more.
Il have recommended it to friends
as brain and nerve food, never hav-
ing found its equal. 1 owe much to
GrapeNuts, as it saved me from a
nervous collapse, and enabled me to
retain my position

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamad condition
of the mucous surfaces.

BUN ~ hohohS' and often vain efforts

invention is financial success. The

on its heel and toe portions. The ridges
on the toe portion run parallel to the

These ridges form a series of recesses
adapted to receive and retain snow or
