GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Butter should be kept away from
the air.
True economy in farm matters is
a wise use of resources.
The first effect in producing growth
should be to make it gradual.
When the litter in the pens becomes
soiled remove it and put in fresh.
Ventilating the stables is the best
way of repelling unfavorable condi-
tons.
Go slow with the teams for the
first few days when spring work be-
gins.
The growing period, when the ami
NAL is young, is the time the frame is
built.
No cud-chewing animal can be kept
in a state of excitement and be profit
able.
A good growth the first year of the
life of colt costs less than at any
other age.
One or two sheep lost every spring
takes the profit off of good many
that do well.
Feed good variety of food, but
avoid sudden changes; that Is, do not
change the whole ration at one time.
The Berkshire hog is more in need
of exploiting at present than of any
thing else The breed is in need of
promotion and publicity bureau in
every community.

ABANDONED 1T
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
Killing.

81 always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast If we did
not have it on the table.
Il had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
Sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, SO that l
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and if
walked up a hill, it gave me a Sc
we're pain.
81 had no idea of what the trouble
was until friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. l tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum The
change came quickly. l am now glad
to say that / am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use of
Postum
"A number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled
long enough, according to directions
it is very delicious beverage. We
have never used any of the old fash
toned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house."

ByCKWHEAT BEST GRAIN CROP
Makes an Excellent Foraging Crop for
PouItry-chickens and Turkeys
Delight in 1t.
(By A. J. LEGG.)

(By a. J. IEGG.)
Buckwheat is the best grain crop
that we have ever tried to furnish a
foraging ground for poultry.
l sow it late in July and allow the
chickens and turkeys to harvest it.
Tney are all the better for the exercise
and the only cost is for the seed and
work Of preparing the soil and SOW
ing 1t.
Late in last July sowed about one
acre where the chickens and turkeys
could have free access. They began
to work on 1t as soon as the grains
were filed and have been at work on
1t for nearly two months.
If it Is trampled down on the ground
the grains will not damage unless it Is
warm enough to sprout them. Buck
wheat will lie on the ground all win
ter and grow in the spring.
A buckwheat stubble makes an ex-
cellent feeding ground for poultry dur
ing pleasant days throughout the fall
and winter season and the poultry en-
joy the exercise.
ouf ueuS, pulleLS anu september
Matched chickens are all in fine condi-
ton, largely due to the buckwheat to
which they have free access.
The plan of allowing them to har-
vest the buckwheat saves trouble Of
feeding and it also teaches them to de-
pend upon their own efforts to obtain
their food. Buckwheat whole grain
has nutritive ratio of 1 to Z. which
can be reduced by furnishing some con-
centrated food.

Dual Cow Not in 1t.

The dual-purpose cow is conspicu-
GUS by her absence in the dairy COW
contest now going on in Iowa, fact
which has brought out some comment
in view of the advocacy of dual cat
tie for Iowa conditions. There Is
nothing strange about the absence of
dual cows in a dairy contest. The
advocates of dual cattle, in Iowa or
elsewhere, have never contended that
their favorites could compete with
dairy cattle in the production of milk
and butter But they do claim that
the calves, milk and butter Of the dual
cows are worth more to the farmer
than the product of the pure dairy
cows, especially in territory where
cattle are finished for beef. This
question, like all others in which the
dual COW figures, is an open one and
probably will remain so.

shoemakers' wax years upon years
ago, but even their pleasure in molar
activity is far antedated.
Christopher Columbus left behind
him letter which proves conclusiyely
that chewing gum was used more than
400 years ago, and that he regarded
it as of sufficient Importance to offer
some to Ferdinand and Isabella as
part of his inducement to them to
finance his second expedition to the
new world. He offered to bring them
as much gold as they would need. as
many slaves as their navy would re-
quire, chewing gum, spices, etc. The
and it has been reasoned from this
that the chewing gum of Columbus
day was a sort of gummy clay, which
was reputed to have medicinal quail
ties.
But the habit Of chewing gum may
ee traced even beyond Columbus
time. According to an ancient Sans
krit poem the soft-eyed Hindoo maid
en-, even in the times when the Aryan
sun worshipers were a budding peo-
pie, had the habit of chewing kashnir
gums, which were supposed to sweet
en- the breath, redden the lips and
color the cheeks.
The story of the discovery of the
availability of chicle for chewing pur-
poses reads like romance and in
wolves some of the leading characters
of American history. If Gen. Sam
Houston had not banished Santa Anna
from Texas, or if the attempt to make
gum shoes from chicle had not proved
failure, the chewing gum habit. as
America knows it, might not have
been acquired by our people. Back
in the '40's a young man from New
Jersey went to Mexico, where he made
the acquaintance of Santa Anna He
spent some time in that country and
then returned home. When Santa
Anna was banished from Texas 90

young friend of his better days and,
it is said, lived with him incognito for
some time. During his stay he sus-

SOY BEANS FORAGE
Crop Admirably Adapted to Cot
ton Belt of South.
Early Varieties, However, May Be
Grown Much Farther North, But
Often Do Not Make Sufficient
Yield to Pay for Trouble.

The soy bean is native of south
eastern Asia and has been extensively
cultivated in Japan, China and India
since ancient times. Upward of 200
varieties are grown in these countries,
practically every district of which has
its own distinct varieties.
The beans are there grown almost
entirely for human food, being pre-
pared for consumption in many differ
ent ways. Their flavor, however, does
not commend them to Caucasian appe-
tites and thus far they have found but
small favor as human food in either
Europe or America.
AS a forage crop, however, soy
beans have become of increasing i'm
portance in parts of the United States,
especially southwark. They have been
tested at most of the state agricultu-
raj experiment stations and it is clear
that their region of maximum impor-
lance will be south of the red clover
area and in sections where alfalfa
cannot be grown successfully. They
thus compete principally with COW
peas, but as cultivation is usually re-
CURED they fill a somewhat different
agricultural need. Their culture has
greatly increased in recent years. es-
pecially in Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky
and the southern parts of Illinois and
Indiana. 1t seems certain that the
crop will become one of great impor-
lance in the regions mentioned and
probably over much wider area. The
earlier varieties mature even in Min
nesota, Ontario and Massachusetts.
The soy bean is especially adapted
to the cotton belt and northward into
the southern part Of the corn belt.

But the boys of the neighborhood
soon set aside the useless" verdict.
They began whiting off pieces of the
gum for chewing purposes. This was
suggestion to the father and he
again got out his kettle paraphernalia.
This time he made it into unfiavored
gum and placed it upon the market.
By doing so he laid the foundation OF
a princely fortune. The next PROPOSE
ton was to get fiavoRing into the gum.
This was task to which the embryo
chewing gum millionaire was not
equal, SO he employed an Englishman,
who was an amateur chemist, to con-
duct series of experiments for him.
The chemist borrowed $500 from out
side sources and with this perfected
the original process of flavoring chicle
gum.
From that time the. success of the
chewing gum business was assured.

centrifugal receivers, whipped into
dough and then removed to tables,
where it is kneaded in powdered
sugar. After this it is rolled into
sheets, cut to the desired size, dried,
wrapped by machinery and placed in
boxes for marketing.
Repeated attempts have been made
to mix or adulterate chicle, or to get
a substitute for it, but there seems to
be no substitute except spruce gum,

OF course, this is mere drop in the
bucket compared with the amount OF
chicle brought into the United States
from Central America. Chicle is not
incidentally valuable, but has proved
an excellent vehicle for carrying such
drugs as pepsin.
Chicle comes to us from tropical
America at the rate of more than 5,0O0,-
600 pounds year, and costs in the raw
state about S2,OO0,000 annually. The
tree which bears it is to be found in
the dense forests of the tropics. The
operation in its gathering is not dis
similar to that of gathering maple
strip in the United States.
