Having Machines.

Equally wonderful have been the i'm
proVements made in machines for
handling the hay crop. The modern
moving machine is a marvel of simple
efficiency, says the Ohio Farmer. The
old revolving, wooden-tooth hayrake
has given place to the self-dump silky
steel hayrake. This machine can be
operated by a ten-year-old boy, who
can do more and better work than
could a man using the old method.
The hay-tedder enables the farmer to
cure his hay quickly and greatly i'm
proves the quality of the hay By
means of the hay loader timothy, clio
yer or alfalfa can be taken direct from
the swath and loaded on the wagon.
With the modern sweep rake the hay
can be taken direct from the swath or
cock and put into the stack with the
hay stacker. The derrick hay fork is
also used quite extensively, especially
when the hay is to be put away in the
NOW.

ANNUAL LOSS is ENORMOUS
Two Hundred Million Dollars a Year
Might Be Added to Wealth
of Country.

Computing that there are in the
United States at least 100000 INDECENT
consumptives who should be cared for
in charitable or semi-charitable sana-
toria and hospitals, the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis estimates that
the annual cost to the country for the
treatment of these persons would be
$50,000,000 at the rate of $1.669 per
day per patient. At the lowest pos
sible estimate the country loses $780,
100000 a year from the incapacity of
these INDECENT victims of tuberculo-
sis. This would mean net saving of
$150,000,000 year to the United
States if all victims of consumption
who are too poor to afford proper
treatment in expensive sanatoria were
cared for at the expense of the munic-
ipa1ity, county or state. And this an
nual gain does not include the enor-
nous saving that would accrue from
the lessened infection due to the seq
regation of the dangerous consump-
tives in institutions.

SCRATCHED so SHE COULD

81 write to tell you how thankful
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
I took care of the child. 1t was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. l used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see a change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura.

SECURE STAND
OF POTATOES
Potato Grower Should Take Stock
of HIS Success in Work to
This Point In Season
Moisture Is First.

By c. L. FITCH. Colorado Agricultural
College,
This is the time for the potato
grower to observe what sort of a
stand he has secured, to take stock.
as it were, of his success in his work
to this point in the season.
In the first place. moisture is nee
essary. A potato may sprout, but
will not root unless it touches damp
soil. and if the season and atmos-
phere be very dry, growth will be
backward, even with moisture be-
meath. The potato ground should
have been filled with moisture before
blowing, and the moisture held there
by stirring the surface shallow, as
with harrow. If, however, the moi9-
ture be not there, the potatoes must
be cultivated, ditched and irrigated,
and then narrowed lengthwise, as
soon as horses can be used.
A heavy rain following planting is
great damage, because it sets the
the shape of the crop. Prolonged rains
will rot the seed. The best stands are
secured on fields that were plowed
in good condition, lightly narrowed,
quickly planted, and that then hap
pened to secure one long, gentle
shower, followed by warm weather.
Examine the hills that come up
last, after the run of the thrifty plants

WHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE
Apt Remark of Small Boy Embar
raised Topper and Filled Car
With Merriment.

Jimmie, who is very small boy
living in the East end, accompanied
his mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, so he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
individual who, judging by the bios

of joy water. None of Jimmie's neigh
bors possessed an appendange that
could compare with the one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the stu
alton and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in loud voice:
= Mamma, is that Santa Claus ?"
pointing to the man with the red nose.
Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but it was no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue of
the man.
why, mamma, didn't it say in that
story about Santa Claus that Santa
had nose like a cherry" he asked,
and the car was in an uproar.-Pitts-

Fritz the gardener was a stolid Ger
man who was rarely moved to ex-

provocative occasions only caused him
to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not

in the market place. He was sleepy,
and the train being crowded, the bag
gageman gave him a chair in his

Finally the train reached Bloom

tell him where he was.

lIMPORTANT ESSENTIALS I'M
COMFORTABLE CATTLE BARN
Light Ventilation Warmth Convenience Among
Eacto That Go to KTake
trent

As the putting In OF the crops is
completed farmers will be repairing
and remodeling and otherwise i'm
proving their cattle barns, many will
be building new ones. The average
cattle barn is not usually laid out for
comfort, and without comfort the dairy
cow will be far from doing her best.
Convenience is also a most important
factor in those times of high-priced
farm hands.
Light ventilation and warmth-also
convenience-are the essentials in a
cattle barn. Windows of ample size
must extend on every side and end
The barn should be at least SO feet
wide, and length to accommodate what
stock is expected to be kept
SO-called hangers are to be avoided.
The cows face the sides of the barn,
and for purposes OF ventilation and
general sanitation, this is the only way
a stock barn should be made
The general construction of the
floor plan is well shown in the illus
tration with deails of measurements.
The driveway is 8 feet wide between
the cows. This is two inches below
the general level of the stalls. A gut
ter, six inches below the driveway and
8 inches below the stalls, is 16 inches
wide. This must be watertight to re-
tain the liquids The stalls vary from
48 inches to 54 inches from the edge
OF the drop to the stanchions to fit
cows of different length. A space of
% inches is left for feeding place. A
slope rise of IL inches forms all the
manager needed, a space of to feet
is left in the front for feeding. The
slope partitions should come to within
IA inches of the gutter. The parti-
tons in front should be between every
other cow. This allows a water sup
ply for every two cows to drink from.
The platform should have a slope of
Is inches to the foot to drain the Ii
quid to the gutter.

Record Onion Crop.

1t is claimed that Charles Vo1z of

holds the worlds record for profits
from intensive farming. He recently
sold his Bermuda onion crop on "a
acres for $12.982. Deducting the ex-
penses of planting, cultivating, harvest
ing and marketing, the crop left him
a net return of $9,O83. The onion yield
from these "a acres filed % cars. The
product was shipped to northern and
eastern markets. The land could have
been bought ten years ago for one dol

Judges, Wius.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The Gus.
tom was originated by French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear it at all times in court
This he did, and the result was Sc
satisfactory from a legal point OF
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.
