Eeedina MoIasses to Horses.

A sugar refinery in Brooklyn, N. r.. feeds molasses to its teams, giving each horse one-half quart corn meal. one quart wheat bran, three pints sugar house syrup. and seven pounds cut hay. At noon. sve quarts oats. The night ration is the same as the morning, except five pounds of loose hay is fed in addition to the cut hay which is mixed with the grain. These horses weigh from 1.700 to 1900 pounds and are fed at cost of thirty four cents per day. They are fine. sleek-looking animals, and attract at- tention of horsemen generally on ac- count of their extremely well-fed ap- pearance. According to experts the economy due to the molasses fed re- suits in saving of from 20 to 27 per cent. over the old system of maintain ing on oats and hay entirely.

PREPARING THE oAT FIELD
Like All Other Small Grain Crops Firm Seed Bed Is One of Essentials
 of Success.
CRy R. M. LEoNARDO

With the oat crop the same as with all of the other small grain crops we find that the firm seed bed is one of the essentials of success.
 Land that does not puddle and wash had best be plowed in the fall and disked both ways with the disk harrow, narrowed lengthwise with the spring tooth harrow and then narrowed crosswise with the same implement.
 This gives the man who is drilling in the spring clear field and he does not become confused with the ridges left by the harrow, as is the case when the field Is drilled the same way as 1t is narrowed
 When grass seed is sowed the ground should be gone over with a smoothing harrow, so that all of the fine seed may be covered. Many farm CTS still cling to the old idea that the field should be gone over with a roller, but there are certain conditions of the soil when a roller will prove an actual detriment to the coming crop and for that reason we no longer make a practice of rolling our oat field after 1t is planted.

.MUNYON'S WORK
 TALK OF CITY
BIG SUCCESS SHOWN BY NUMBER OF CALLERS AT SAN FRAN
 CISCO HEADQUARTERS
Local Man Tells of Remarkable Relief From Rheumatism in Years Time.

The apparent success which Pro- lessor James M. Munyon, the world famous health authority, has been meeting in San Francisco has started much discussion. The continuous stream of callers has kept Dr. Nun yon's expert representative busy every day for several weeks at the main store of the Owl Drug Company, San Francisco, where he has estab- lished headquarters for meeting the people.
 Munyon's following seems to be enormous. Those who believe in his theories seem to think he possesses the most marvellous powers for the healing of all sorts of diseases. Mun- yon, himself laughs at this. He says: "The hundreds of cures which you are hearing about every day in San Fran cisco are not in any way due to my personal skill It is my remedies, which represent the combined brains of the greatest medical specialists science has ever known, that is doing the work I have paid thousands of dollars for single formula and the exclusive right to manufacture it. have paid tens of thousands of dol lars for others of my various forms of treatment. That is why I get such remarkable results. | have simply bought the best products of the best brains in the world and placed this knowledge within the reach of the general public"
 Among Munyon's callers yesterday were many who were enthusiastic in their praise of the man. One of these said: For six years I suffered from rheumatism. My arms and legs were afflicted so badly that I could hardly work, and I could not raise my armS to my head. The pain was most se- were in the back, however, and 1 was in perfect torture. I tried in many ways to get cured, or even to secure temporary relief, but nothing seemed to help me until I was persuaded by a friend to try Dr. Munyon's Uric Acid Course It was the most marvelously acting remedy I ever saw, within a week the pain had most gone and in- endTely cured. I can now go out in the worst weather-cold, or wet or anything else, and l have not felt any suspicion of a return of the disease. I think that every person who has rheumatism and does not take the Uric Acid Course is making a great mis- take"
 Letters addressed to Professor J. M Munyon, care Owl Drug Co.,, San Francisco, Cal, will receive as care ful attention as though the patient called in person. Medical advice, and consultation absolutely free. Not a penny to pay.

SUMMER WORK IN ORCHARDS
Glover Is One of Best Crops for Con servatIon of MoIsture-Tree
 MuIchIng Is Essential.
Ry M. J. KINGsRuRY.

Cover crops should be sown early in August. Clover Is one of the very best cover crops that can be utilized as It's roots penetrate deep into the soil to conserve moisture and to store up nitrogen.
 The best orchardists SOW from twelve to fifteen pounds of red clover to the acre as soon after having as convenient. If the soil Is so rich that a very rank growth of clover is se- cured, mow the clover just before apple picking and allow it to remain on the ground and be plowed under early the following year.
 Buckwheat is recommended by many apple growers for a cover crop. This should be sown in July. When rye is used do not SOW until later; last of August or the first week of September
 Cover crops serve as a mulch for the ground. to retain moisture. arrest plant food that would be wasted by soil erosion and teaching and as a source of nitrogen supply as in the case of clover and the other legumes.
 Another essential to good crops of fruit is mulching the trees. Straw. swale grass or refuse fodder are ex- cellent for mulching trees. Use a liberal quantity.

settIna Out Plants.

Nothing is gained by setting out plants too early in the spring. as the cold will give them a setback that they may never overcome. Plants may be seasoned by exposing them to the sun during warm days and giving them plenty of ventilation at night when not too cold. Much damage done to plants which is ascribed to frost is really caused by twisting. which the plant receives from the winds. A supply of little frames to protect them should be on hand. Tomatoes. peppers and eggplant are especially susceptible to injury by high winds.
