ditions, and on meadows, pastures, cul-

results obtained and conclusions ar

For the same load, wagons with

difference in favor OF standard wheels
was greater on road surfaces in bad
condition than on good road surfaces.
Low wheels cut deeper ruts than those

axles of the same length. The best
form of farm wagon Is one with axles

when the dock officer was reading out

guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list Of his

SHEEP RAISING.

Much interest is now being taken In
the subject Of raising sheep. The
Wisconsin Station says: "Our chief
consideration has been to secure good
rams. The high priced rams are usu-
ally those that have been winners Of
many prizes. But this is not the
sense in which it is used here. A
greater mistake can not be made than,
to buy a highly fitted prize winner, no
matter what the price may be. They
almost invariably prove infertile or In
capable OF service. The high-priced
rams give good value when they are
vigorous without having been pam,
pered or starved, and most certainly
when they show that they have the
merit that attracts higher prices in
the common market"
The boil weevil will very likely
force many OF our farmers to put q
large part OF their bottom and low
lands into pastures. Well bred sheep
will manufacture the grass into wool
and mutton. 1t is advisable for us to
devote some time to the study o.

Is to stop food that evidently has not been

Then. when food is required, use an easily

We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka. Ind.
who swore to the analysis OF Grape-Nuts and
that part Of the starchy part of the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind of.sugar produced In the human body by
digesting starch (the large part Of food).
Some Of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be
called "predigested" food because not all Of
1t was digested outside the body
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as .predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of word.
1t is sufficient that If only one-half Of the
food is ''predigested," 1t, is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested.

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it Is prob
able that the Oldest two people In the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem. in Prus-
sian Poland. and was born on Febrii-
airy 81. 1855. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter. however. IL nine months
her senior. having bsen born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100. and these now
make her a Joint allowance. She lives
at the village OF Bavelsko. whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole Of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years. Dundee Advertiser.

A disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal.
Following 1t, an attack on US appeared In
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
us about claimed that in many cases of appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestble food, washing out the
bowels and taking predigested food Grape
Nuts
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be q comfort to
those who fear surgeons knife as they fear
death7
The weekly: writer said that was a lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not Dr. and had no medical
knowledge Of appendicitis and never investi
gated to find out If the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate It. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent 1t.
The surgeon testified bacteria lgerms1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without knife. but by stop

corn and peas last year and turned
under deep with disc plows in the
TALL.

that the Simpkins was more prolific,
but the fiber is not as good and does
not comamnd the price.
used no fertilizer this year, but
expect to experiment with acid phos-
plate little next year.

In the 100 acres Of cotton is in

planted May 18th. The weevil played
havoc, as 1t only made 800 pounds Of
seed cotton. This cotton pulled the
average down, and the price will have
to be high to make it profitable over

Port Gibson, Miss.

Or. H. Guy Hathorn. Columbia, Miss:
Dear Doctnr--I will endeavor to an
swer your questions in regular Sc
Quence,
Character of land? Both up
lanC and alluvial.
Second-We planted from 1000 to
1900 acres of cotton. While great
deal Of 1t this year makes 500 pounds
OF lint per acre, we suppose that the
average is about 375 pounds.
Third--We pay no attention to the
acreage per mule, but see to 1t that
we have plenty of teams to thoroughly
work the crop.
Fourth-We destroyed all stalks by
cutting and burning last fall, and did
considerable winter plowing, but not
all.
lrifth--We think the early destruc-
tion OF stalks the keynote to the stu
alton in normal year, but in the
present instance believe that the
freeze here has accomplished the same
result.
Sixth-We picked up and destroyed
squares till about the middle OF July,
and consider 1t as important as stalk
destruction.
Seventh-Rows about four and one
half feet: in drills, two to three feet.
Eighth -Money-Maker, Tooles and
Simpkins; in fact, any early variety.
Ninfh-Did not use any fertilizer
unnecessary here.
Tsnth--Plant as early as possible,
say, April 1st to 18th.
This, we believe, answers your
questions in full. We have had the
weevii for four years; during the first
two years Decentralization reigned su-
preme; now T+can say that during an
experience of twenty-five years there
Is more money and prosperity here
than i ever saw.

weatheA continued and continued 20
plow the cotton. in order to keep
down the grass and weeds. continued
to tear down the beds between plow-
ings. Early In July the rains held
up, and used the cultivators once
each week, and sometimes oftener. BY
this means got an early growth of
the cotton, and as numerous as the
weevils were this year, the cotton put
on squares faster. than the weevils
could puncture them.
checked the weevils early in June
by picking them off the little cotton
and later by gathering the punctured
squares. do not think that it pays
to pick the squares until late in July.
We can make cotton notwithstand-
ing the weevil ON small scale. say,
four to six acres to the mule. Make
up the acreage in other crops that we
can use at home and feed to stock.
BY pursuing this course We will soon
be independent.
