A SPOON SHAKER.
Straight From Coffeedom.

Coffee can marshall good squadron
Of enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady In Florida writes:
Il have always been very fond of
good coffee. and for years drank 1t at
least three times day At last, how
ever, / found that 1t was injuring me.
Il became bilious, subject to fire.
Quent and violent headaches, and SO
very nervous, that / could not lift q
spoon to my, mouth without spilllng
part OF its contents.
MY heart got 'rickety' and beat so
fast and SO hard that l could scarcely
breathe, while my skin got thick and
dingy. with yellow blotches on my face,
caused by the condition of my liver
and blood.
Il made up my mind that all these
Affections came from the coffee, and
determined to experiment and see.
so quit coffee and got a package
OF Postum which furnished my hot
morning beverage. After little time
was rewarded by complete restora-
ton of my health in every respect.
Il do not suffer from biliousness any
more, my headaches have disappeared
my nerves are as steady as could be
desired, my heart beats regularly and
my complexion has cleared up beauti
fully-the blotches have been wiped out
and 1t is such pleasure 20 be wen

Good Dry Country Advice.

AOOQ Wy NVO'Nty NOVtSO.
One who has had long experience In
Montana says;
1.-THE potato might possibly give thu
best yield on new spring plowed lands.
Some seasons potatoes yield well On
sod land. Hulless barley Is also a
good crop to grow, where the moisture
is uncertain. But our counsel to the
beginner is to SOW Scotch Fife wheat
just as early as possible. II he gets q
crop it will be saleable and II he does
not get a crop Of grain he may get a
crop of grain hay. If our friend Is
going to try to make a home ON dry
land, we would urge him to get five or
ten acres seeded to alfalfa as soon as
possible. Dry farming is largely =
wheat proposition for the man able to
operate on large scale. But II our
friend can get ten acres of alfalfa
seeded he may soon get 40 he car
keep four good COWS, a few chickens
and a good brood SOW. 1t will be
slow and hard work establishing ones
self on dry farm without money and
even money may fail. There are q
great many factors entering into dry
farming"

SEED BREEDING PLAT
Should Be Planted ThickIy and
Then Trimmed to Stand.
Under Average Conditions II VIII Be
Necessary to Cultivate Once
Every Week or Ten Days Un-
eli Near September I.

(By J. Il. PAINE, Dry Land Specialist.
Colorado Agricultural College)
Those who have had to buy seed
for planting their crops this year
should be able to appreciate the
value OF = seed breeding plat.
Those who have a variety Of corn
which has been grown successfully on
the same farm for Ave or more years.
should plant at least one acre for
special seed. This plat should be
well prepared, and upon 1t should be
planted the choicest seed selected
from the seed corn. Every ear used
should be tested for termination be-
fore planting. In order to get per-
feet stand on this plat. the corn
should be planted thicker than the
ordinary fields, and thirned to stand
after the plants are a few inches
high. While thinning, the strongest
plants should be left
The plat should be given the best
cultivation possible. SO as to furnish
conditions for the proper develop
ment Of the crop. Under average
conditions, 1t will be necessary to give
he plat cultivation once every week
or-ten days from the time of planting
until near September 1.
The plants should be watched as
they develop. II some of them seem
10 withstand drought better than
others they should be barked, and the
soil about them should be examined to
see II the apparent drought-resistance
was caused by local conditions or by
some quality peculiar to the plant.
A record should be kept of dates Of
sasseling and silking, and the date
when the plat is beyond the stage of
possible damage by frost should be
noted
As we must breed mainly for earli-
be desirable. The height OF the stalk.

Der of leaves on the stalk, relative

Ance of the plants should be noted
This work should be taken up by
The boys and girls who should be al
owed time to study the plants. 1t is
probable that we of the semi-arid re-
yion shall have to adopt standards Of
perfection for ears of corn which will
iiffer very much from the standards
II the main corn producing regions.
For corn grown here | would allow
Iarger cobs, shallower and broader
grains. and larger shanks than the
standard for perfect ears of eastern
:orn would suggest.
In breeding plants for semi-arid
conditions. we must cut loose from
standards made for humid regions,
and work out our problems independ-
Dnly. We shall have to dream out
Ideals of plants which are best suited
10 our conditions.
The twenty-five years of experience
which settlers have had In eastern
Colorado, show that we can grow
grains, and study of the grains
which they now grow points the way
to improvements which may be profit
Ibly undertaken.

Bite Each Others Feet.

Young chicks, especially young
Leghorns often get into the habit Of
picking the feet of other chicks In
he flock, and the moment the blood
Is drawn there is a regular stampede
and unless detected In time they will
pick the entire feet OF the victim TO
pieces. The only remedy is to catch
the chicks that are being attacked
and coat the feet with carbolated
vaseline or some similar substance.
The taste of 1t will at once discourage
any further attempts.

VINCENNES SEEKS
RAILROADS. GOAT

Nincennes. March 10 The most
drastic anti-railroad legislation ever
offered in the Vincennes common
council is the ordinance introduced
which would compel all the railroads
entering the city to remove their
switches and switch yards from the
city limits by January l. 1912 The
proposed law has clause fixing a
fine of $500 for each day after that
date that the switches remain in the
restricted territory. The ordinance
was referred TO the standing commit
tee on railroads.
The resolution follows anti-railroad
agitation that has been going on in
the city for more than year, owing
to the number of fatalities at various
grade crossings in the city. Three
persons. two girls and one boy, were
killed along the line OF the Baltimore
4 Ohio Southwestern railroad com.
pany within a space of six blocks in
a few weeks. In January. 1910, an
ordinance was introduced emanatins
from the North End Commercial club
to compel the road to remove al
switch yards from the city limits, but
the ordinance was allowed to sleep in
committee.

ENEMIES OF BAILEY
PLAN HIS DOWNFALL

Dallas, Texas. March 15.-With all
the old political enemies of Senator
Joseph w. Bailey indorsing Represen-
tative Choice B. Randell to succeed
Bailey the old feud against the defen-
| der of Lorimer is in full flower.
! Although Bailey's term does not eX-
pire until March 8. 1913, the opposi-
ton which all but beat him in 1907 has
revived. Bailey then held his place in
the senate by three votes in the legis-
! lature after one of the most bitter po-
! litical fights Texas ever knew. The
issue then was Bailey's' connection
with the Waters-Pierce branch of the
! Standard Oil company and the same
issue is being revived.
! Baileys' bluff at resigning in the
closing hours of the last session and
his withdrawal of the resignation OPP
ened the way for the fight and his
opponents Immediately took advan-
tage of this opening.
Randell has been in three congress
es and from present appearances he
will unite the antiBailey Democrats in
his support.
