only sure means of avoiding the di.
seases so prevalent during the sum-

aid older persons as we'll, are swept
away each year during the hot wealth

easily prevented. 1t is not the heat
that kills, as many suppose, but con-
d;tions in the body brought about by
ignorance of the simplest laws Of
health.
For instance, how few people know
the evils resulting from the use Of an
improper diet of wrong combina-

FARMING MODERNIzED.
Agriculture Has Not Escaped ReVoIu'
ton Of Machinery In All Kinds
industries.

Agriculture has not escaped the
mighty revolution of machinery that
has swept all kinds of production with
in the last half or even quarter CEN
fury. Many of our readers can re-
member the bull pillow with the wood
en- mold.board; when the spike tooth
harrow was considered perfection;
when seeding and planting Of all kinds
were mostly done by hand; when the
cradle gathered and the fail threshed
wheat and other small grain.
But the wooden mold.board pillow,
which was only a few degrees re-
moved from the forked stick of the
savage, has given place to the chilled
steel share that cuts and turns a clean
furrow to different widths and depths,
and under this have been placed
wheels so that now the farmer rides
as he breaks his land instead of trudg
ing weary miles in the yielding SOIL
Again, in many places, though not
generally, blowing is done by steam
and gasoline engines, and these will
increase as agriculture is put more
and more upon a business basis.
The harrow has followed the de-
velopment of the pillow, the spring
tooth and riding disc harrOws being
quite generally in use and increasing
yearly.
The riding cultivator is known in
almost every farm community.
Wheat drills and corn planters put
in by far the greater portion Of these
crops, and machines for planting po-
tatoes and other root crops are by
no means uncommon.

POTATO CULTURE PROFITABLE
Certain Sections Of Country Where
Irish Potato 10 Best Growing
Crop on the Farm.

There are certain sections Of the
United States which are, owing to ell
matte conditions, combined with the
nature Of the soil, better adapted to
the growing Of the Irish potato than
probably any other farm product, and
as this crop can be marketed at re-
munerative prices on an average Of
four years out Of i've. the farmers Of
what is known as the potato dis
tricts" rely almost entirely upon this
product for their money crop; there
fore, 1t becomes necessary for them
to secure as great a quantity Of tu-
bers as possible from each acre Of
land planted, from minimum amount
OF labor and expense, In order to get
the greatest percentage Of profit OBJ
tainable.
The soil best adapted to growing
the potato is a sandy loan well sup
piled with vegetable matter. This
kind of a soil is not available In all
cases and we have to be content with
IuaI Vi uSdVlcT udluIC. III lhdJ case
1t is advisable to turn under a sod of
some character, preferably clover,
which will serve to keep the land in
a mellow condition and retain the
moisture longer than If the soil should
become more compact.
More attention every year is being
given to the selection of seed, and
the most successful potato growers
have long ago discarded the using Of
culls for seed potatoes. Experiments
have shown that an ordinary size
potato cut in quarters will often pro-
duce rs to 30 per cent. more salable
potatoes per acre than when cut with
only one eye to the piece.
II proper precautions are taken and
treatments begun in time there are
none OF the enemies Of the potato,
which, If properly handled, cannot be
reduced TO nonentity as far as dam
age to the crops is concerned.

Saving Grain.

Carefully conducted experiments at
several different experiment stations
show that an acre Of rape, when
grazed by pigs, will save from 1900
to $500 pounds of grain, and some
cases have been reported in which the
amount saved was even greater than
that last mentioned. With grain at
a cent a pound, as 1t will average now,
AN acre of rape this spring and the
coming summer will be worth about
$40 when fed to pigs. The cost Of
producing the acre of rape and har.
vesting it is less than that Of almost
every other crop grown on the farm.
