A Remarkable Suicide.

A man who had visited Paris was
telling of an extraordinary suicide he
had heard of in that gay city. HE
was Frenchman, who was nothing If
not original said the teller of the
tale, land even when he grew despond-
ent he planned his death Is most
original fashion. He locked the door
of his room in the Rue Nitot and, re-
moving the weights of the window
cord, fastened them to the window
itself. He added to the weight of the
window by attaching six fiatirons. On
the sill he adjusted large triangular
bread knife, such as is used by chefs,
and made, ready a small balloon, capa-
BILE of lifting fifty pounds. The in
genious Frenchman then put his head
out of the window after attaching the
balloon TO his neck and by releasing
the clamp that held the window cut his
head off completely with the impro-
vised guillotine. The decapitated body
was discovered several days later. but
it was not until the balloon and the
head were found a week later in the
field of peasant. eighteen miles from
Paris, that the method Of suicide was
really known"

ned supply of forage crops at this time
will give larger returns for the land
used than almost anything else that
can be grown. Forage crops can often
be used to good advantage as catch
crops where other crops have failed to
grow or after something else has been
harvested. Forage crops by keeping
the land occupied with a rank growing
crop help to keep weeds in control.
They also enable more stock to be kept
on the farm than would be the case
otherwise.
One of the best forage crops is rape.
1t yields heavy crops of excellent feed.
1t is especially valuable for hogs and
sheep. They make excellent gains on
rape. particularly If little grain is
given in addition. Rape should be
sown in the spring at the rate Of about
four pounds to the acre broadcasted
or two and one-half pounds drilled.
The seed bed should be well prepared.
The greatest amount of feed per acre
is obtained If the rape is cut and fed.
A more economical way of handling it,
as far as labor is concerned. is TO have
small movable pens or a pasture Ovid
ed into small lots and change the stock
frequently from one to the other. IL

THEN AND NOW,
Some Interesting Figures About

Thirty Years Ago and Says One Can

on the opportunities and possibilities
which are offered the young man OF
today who is willing 10 take UP an hon
orable employment and enter upon his
life work as progressive farmer.

deed caused many young man to
leave the farm and seek the city in
hopes that he might secure Il paying
position with less effort and shun what
to him seemed life of drudgery.
"Let us now make a comparison of
prices of farm products and cost of
farm supplies" continued the speaker.
Thirty years ago we could i'm Iowa

forty pounds Of butter; today the same
amount of butter will buy 200 yards.
Twenty-Five years ago you paid ST. for
100 pounds of barbed wire. which took
over 100 bushels of oats: today 100
bushels of oats will buy 4, 200 pounds

Thirty years ago we paid $225 for "A

wheat: today the same amount of
wheat will buy four self binders. Thir-

on the railroad a distance of 400 miles,
round trip. which cost SIG. which took
800 dozen or eggs; today the same
number of eggs will carry you 5000
miles, with better accommodations
Twenty-eight years ago first class
work harness cost $33. which took
1000 pounds of pork; today the same
pork will buy two sets Of the same
quality of harness.
"Shoes are some higher. but you can
buy today from the products of the

half as much when drilled. 1t can be
sown with grain drill by stopping up

sorghum is not used as green feed it

A Good Forage Crop.
Indian corn makes good forage il
sown thickly enough. The largest
planter plates should be used together
with the fastest drill attachment. as
thick planting makes small and tender
stalks. Corn which has well devel-
oped ears Is often used as q combined
grain and forage crop for "hoggng

field in the fall and left until ready
for market. A few shotes turned in

do little damage to the corn.
Excellent fall feed can be obtained
by sowing rape or mixture of rape
and clover with the small grain I'm the
spring. If there is moisture enough
removed splendid crop of fall forage
will be available in three or four
weeks. Often the fall feed Is worth
more than the grain.
An excellent forage crop for pigs is
Canada field peas. They should be
sown in the spring at the rate of one
half bushel TO the acre. together with
two bushels of oats. If sown alone
the rate of seeding should be two
bushels to the acre. The hogs may be
turned on when the peas are in the
dough stage. In the southern parts
Of the United States cowpeas and soy
beans may be used in the same way.
Millet yields heavily and makes a
good quality OF hay. 1t is also used
occasionally as a green feed. Millet
Is dangerous feed for horses, but
may be fed to other classes of stock
with safety.
Succulent Crops For Winter.
While not strictly forage crops, root
crops, pumpkins and squashes answer
the same purpose. Sugar beets. man
gels and turnips yield heavily, but re-

the growing season. Carrots are es-

Many have the idea that anything
Will sell Il advertised strong enough.
This Is a great mistake. True, a
lew sales might be made by advertis-
lug an absolutely worthless article but
1t is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article Is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes. trade pi-
rates prey on the u~nsuspecting public.
by marketing fake tablets similar In
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow q substitute to be
palmed of on you.
