Handling Manure.

On the subject OF hauling manure
Professor Gilmore, of the New York
experiment station, says I'VE think
all things considered, it is better to
haul the manure directly from the sta
BILE to the fields than it is to pile it up
for any length of time. II weil-rotted
manure is desired for trucking pur.

lands. then it must be stored, but un

SELECTING SEED CORN EARS
II Is Usually Best to Secure Variety
That Has Been Successfully
Grown in Locality.
(By c. P. BULL. Minnesota Agricultural

(By c. P. BULL. Minnesota Agricultural
College.)
Everyone recognizes the value of
using an ideal pure-bred sire, in breed
ing up his herd or flock. The better
bred herd or flock becomes. the
more money 1t yields to its owner.
These recognized facts. concerning
the breeding of stock, are just as true
concerning farm crops; and when
practiced will often yield better re-
turns. Surely there are few farm
crops which may be improved so eco
nomically and SO quickly as corn.
Many have the idea that, to start in
right and grow good corn, they must
send elsewhere and get some new
fancy kind of seed. Those who do this
are usually disappointed with their
first crop or two 1t takes some time
for corn to become adapted to a
change in climatic and soil conditions.
For that reason. it is usually best to
secure q variety OF corn that has been
successfully grown. in the locality for
period of years.
In case the variety is not large
enough, or does not mature. these
faults can be corrected only by a care
full selection of seed ears. If good
local variety is chosen, one will be
more sure of securing crop; and by
the end oil two years (which would
be necessary to acclimate the outside
corn) he would be much nearer sue
cess than if the same amount of time
had been spent with corn brought
from some distant locality. We do
not wish to discourage the introduc-
ton of new varieties Of corn, but such
varieties should be tried in q small
way first. Color, so far as is known.
has no effect whatever on the feed
ing value Of corn, but is simply a
fancy of the grower.

CONF lDtNCE
We Back Up Our Statements
With Our Personal Reputa-
ton aud Money

We are so positive that We can re-
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that We offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than USE
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm. They may cause a
reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation more
chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active primer
pie of our remedy involved the LABOR
of skillful research chemists. This
remedy produces results such as are
expected from the best of the best
known intestinal tonics, and it is par
tioularly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and mus
cles of the bowels, having, it would
seem, neutral action on other or

or cause Inconvenience. If they do
not positively cure chronic or hab-

ent chronic ailments, your money

The American Museum of Safety is
working out the basic principles for
preventing the enormous waste of hui
man life and limb in cur industries
with its attendant train of sickness,
misery and poverty. This institution
is not an experiment; Germany has
clearly demonstrated its value, and by
means of her two museums of safety,
sanatoria and other forms of practical
sanitation, she is conserving annually
$3.50, 100000 in the wage-earning eff
cheney Of her workmen. She has been
the inspiration for museums Of safety
in Amsterdam, Vienna. Stockholm,
Budapest, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Mos

claim that every life saved is a ma

been made, and is the only movement
of its kind on the continent of North
