sponSibiity SO far as the home medication
OF common ailments of the girls or boys
Is concerned. The cost of the doctors
visits Is very often much too great. At
such times the mother is invited to write
to DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, for med

Perfect safety is assured with Doctor
Pierce'S well known medicines because
no harmful ingredient is contained in
them. No alcohol, opium or harmful
narcotic Is contained in the rFavorite

Pierce discovered that chemically. pure
glycerine of proper strength is a better
solvent OF our native medicinal plants
than is alcohol. Besides glycerine is of
high nutritive value in building up

STARCH FROM POTATOES
(By ce-Consul-Ge Fredric w
Cauldwell. OF Berlin.)

Potatoes are the principal source
of the starch manufactured in Ger
many. and that potato starch, known
as ''kartoffelmehl''. enters extensively
into German export trade.
The potatoes are first thoroughly
washed and then mashed between
heavy rolling cylinders. on the surface
of which there are grooves and teeth
to tear up the potato cells. The starch
is washed out Of this ground up pulp
by means Of running water. The re-
sulting so-called starch milk Is first
drained through wire or silk screens
or through perforated copper plates
to remove the cell pulp. after which It
is allowed to flow directly into cement
settling watts or caves. or 1t may first
be led over small gently sloping
troughs or drains. upon which the
prrest Of the starch then settles.
The starch from the settling watts
and from the settling drains is refined
by being rinsed in stirring watts. and
the impurities and cell substances are
SKINNED or dipped of. The water Is
then removed by special centrifugal
hydro-extractors and the resulting 30
called green starch" is generally
worked up into dextrin and sugar.
For producing the starch Of commerce
1t must be further dried in specially
constructed drying chambers. The
potato pulp. OF cell stuff. left over Is
subjected to renewal Of the refining
process, or It may be dried and fed to
stock.

CONCRETE DRAIN TILE on The FARM

I 3-4-inch hole to receive the pin on
1.-The bottom OF the board in the core.
The outside part Of the mould Il
held in position by four iron pins or
spikes. These are placed by setting
the casing in the correct position on
the pallet and then on each side mark
where the pin is to be placed, bore a
hole for the same and arrange so It
can be easily inserted and removed.
Small l otis or spikes will do for this
purpose.
A pallet is prepared for as many
tile as you wish to make each day,
a. the tile are left on the same for at
least 4S hours before removing, when
they may be piled up and the pallets
used again.
In operating. the machine is placed
in position on the pallet with the core
in place. The mortar is placed in the
mold and tamped down.
The tamping process must begin
with the first mortar put in, other
wise the tile will be too porous. Add
until the mould is filled. Now simply
draw out the core and unhook the
sides and fold back from the tile
leaving it upon the pallet to dry for
4S hours. 5
The tile thus made are IS inches
long requiring but clever to the rod,
and are octagon in shape which Is so
planned that they may be easily laid.
A round tile must besvery carefully
bedded, otherwise they will get out Of
line, and for the inexperienced worker
this is hard matter A tile made In
tn octagon design has q fiat surface.
and thus all you have to do is to make
the bottom of the trench smooth and
insure the tile remaining in line.
The cost Of this design over q round
tile is but very little. and as It has
many advantages it should appeal to
the inexperienced worker as he cam
not help but secure correct and salts
factory results.
While the tile may be made In
shorter lengths, It is merely waste
|of labor as the 18-inch lengths are
much quicker laid. and the tile are
porous so the joints iced not be as
close as with vitrified cla-. tile.
Another great advantage Of con-
crete tile is that each tile is perfect,
while clay tile are very apt to draw
out Of shape In burning, and tn !,
make trouble when laying them.

20 icrete tile become harder and
stronger with age and may be made
as porous as clay tile; in comparison
the clay tile becomes water-soaked
and disintegrates In the years of SER
vice, thus causing broken tile and q
useless drain
This Is easily demonstrated by TAX
ing up concrete tile and clay tile that
have been imbedded in the ground;
while the former are as strong as one
could wish and lift easily. the clay
are brittle, and must be handled with
extreme care to prevent breakage.
Again, to employ vitrified clay tile
is to make drain that does not alb
sotb water from the soil except at the
joints while a concrete tile has all
the advantages OF being porous and
yet fully as strong as the best vitrified
tie.
The simple machine illustrated with
this article may be built in any size
at a slight cost, and will enable any
one to make the best quality Of con-
crete tile at cost of &c cents rod
when mace in the 4-inch size; II
cents rod for 5-inch; SO cents for
6-inch; SEQ for S-inch; s1.65 for
s-inch; s1.ss for 1o-inch and s2.s4
for 12-i9ch tile.
The cost is based on sand at rs
cents a cubic yard cement at 50 per
barrel; labor at 50 day. The tile
are made as strong as possible, using
one part cement to three parts of the
gravel, which will give them all the
strength needed for any service.
The 4-inch tile are made "a OF an
inch thick: the S, 6. and 8-inch tile
ars made ! inch thick; the and TO-
inch are made 3-S inches thick, and
the 12-inch IL inches thick.
In this manner you can estimate
the cost of your drain and easily COM
pare with the cost of clay tile Of the
same size.
By employing the proper methods
for handling concrete in the
winter, you may employ your spare
time during the winter In making this
article on the far-,, and
thus save the cost Of labor. which 3

Gle is one making a G-inch tile, and

ELIMINATING HAIRS ON TOMATO STEMS
CROSS BREEDING OF THE TWO SPECIES MAY
GIVE THIS RESULT

but disappears quite 'argely from the
olSer portions. On the other hand,
the "Currant' tomato Is quite free
from this form Of hair and. on this
account the plants of this species are
smooth in contrast with the hairiness
Of the ordinary kinds OF tomatoes
BY breeding the two above species
together, the results obtained show a
reduction Of the hairiness OF the hy-
birds and the hope is entertained that
q marketable size Of fruit may be fin
ally obtained with plants that are
smooth.
t. chief feature OF the study Of
hairs is in connection With a second
form Of o,ltgrowth from the stems and
leaves that, from their nature. are
known as glandular hairs. This kind
OF hair is short and low set and not
easily seen without a hand-lens and
the tip Of each is expanded into
knob from which exudes disagreea-
able thick liquid that stains the hands
and clothing and Is the source OF the
tGnk smell that Is characteristic Of the
tomato foliage. This form OF hair is
also much less abundant upon the
"Currapt" than the ordinary kind and,
by the breeding above named. It Is
hf ped to get plants that with other
qualities not reduced, may possess the
much desired addition OF freedom
from the hairs in question.
While the hope is entertained Of re-
moving all the spines from the egg
plant and particularly the calyx,
where they are nuisance to all who
handle the fruits, in like manner the
work OF obtaining glandiess tomato
plants Is to be pursued along both the
avenus OF breeding and OF selection.
TO De able to go among the tomato
plants. even when moist from rain or
dew, and not get smeared with the ILL
meiiing glandular emulation is con-
a.llon OF this highly esteemed vege-
Cieted
