farm animals.
full hog raising.
Fall blowing is injurious 10 cut
worms and grasshoppers
If possible, disk stubblenelds, to con-
serve moisture and destroy weeds.
Next to pure air. water is the cheap
est thing we can supply our poultry.
The silo's first cost is large, but If
well made it may be used for years.
The mixers hands should be
washed before milking each and every
COW.
Fall blowing exposes the soil to the
elements which aid in liberating plant
food
Don't forget the hens dust bath.
They must have it to be healthy and
happy.
No part of the dairy work is more
important than the cleaning of milk
utensils.
Do not think that because the hens
have free range no grit need be sup
piled them.
Visit the henhouse often, so the
hens will feel acquainted and not be
afraid of you.
Select early a plenty of seed corn,
so that further and more rigid selec-
ton may be made next spring.
The very best of food without a
plentiful supply of pure, fresh water
will fail to induce the hens to lay.
A large flock of poultry will, in the
course of time, clean up all the avail
able grit from a large area around
their quarters.
If you have fifteen or more head Of
cattle, and haven't silo, it will pay
you to look into the subject Of silos
pretty carefully.
Every one who has ever had expert
ence with poultry knows that clean
Illness is absolutely imperative if the
flock is to prove profitable.
The mixer should be clean. Before
milking and before putting on his
milking suit he must wash his hands
with warm water, soap and a nail
brush.
Milk pals should be of smooth
metal like heavy tin; galvanized iron
or any rough metal should not be
used, as germs collect much more
easily and they are more difficult to
clean.

FROM TEXAS
Some Coffee Facts From the Lone
Star State.

From beautiful farm down in Tex
as, where gushing springs unite to
form babbling brooks that wind their
sparkling way through flowery meads,
comes a note of gratitude for delivery
from the coffee habit.
when my baby boy came to me
five years ago, | began to drink
Postum, having feeling that it would
be better for him and me than the old
kind of drug-laden' coffee. l was not
disappointed in it, for it enabled me,
small, delicate woman, to nurse a
bouncing, healthy baby IA months.
Il have since continued the use OF
Postum for | have grown fond OF it,
and have discovered to my JOY that 1t
has entirely relieved me of a bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times year. causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myself.
MY brother-in-law was cured OF
chronic constipation by leaving off
coffee and using Postum. He has be-
come even more fond of it than he
was of the old coffee.
In fact, the entire family, from the
latest arrival Ia 2-year-old who always
calls for his 'potie' first thing in the
morning., up to the head of the house,
think there is no drink so good or sc
wholesome as Postum" Name given

MISS SUSAN GLASPELL'S DOG
VOLTA the Original Of the Puppies In
Her Story Tho
visIonlnQ.

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
dog, which fact is OF more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
introduced two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
in the whole book than Why and Amt
1t, to use their names in English form.
1t was Miss Glaspell's own dog, a
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
alton of The Visioning's twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has
French name, VOLTA. When it's owner
bought It, over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in mem
DRY of the boulevard on which she
lived and as a sympathetic cognomen
for sensitive souled Partisan dog
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is a wan
derer. 1t is coolie, and a coolie, 1t
evidently thinks, ought to be afield.
Whenever it feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell's name and
address. She has come to think moth

Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,

Then the author of The Visioning
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and a dollar. But were it not
so there might never have been q

THOROUGH HOElNG OF SOILS
Cultivation Throughout Season In
creases Materially Yield Of Grain
and Water Required.

Another mastery and convincing
argument for a thorough cultivation
of the soil has been published by Prof.
J. A. Widtsoe OF the Utah experiment
station,
In long series OF experiments, In
diligently made. Professor Widtsoe
found that thorough hoeing or cult
walton throughout the season increased
materially the yield of grain, and in
creased the amount of water required
per pound of dry matter produced,
and that in infertile soils the water
requirements of crops could be ma
terially lowered by the addition OF
manure or commercial fertilizers.
He believes that in every case the
result Is to be attributed largely to
the plant food set free by the hoeing
or following, or that added in the fer
tilizers. There are many farmers who
are not in a position to irrigate their
land at once, but there are few who
cannot cultivate their soil little bet
ter than they have been doing. No
doubt there are localities where irriga-
ton is not feasible, and then again
there are thousands of tenant farmers
or men of limited means who cannot
take advantage of the principle of ir-
rigation. 1t is fortunate that nearly
all such farmers are at least able to
till and fertilize their fand.
The practical conclusion is, that in
districts where the rainfall is the chief
consideration, 1t is not suffic to
store an abundance of water in the
soil, but the soils themselves must
be kept in such a condition that plants
growing on them can produce dry mat
ter with the smallest possible amount
of water. Under a system OF dry
farm rotation in which a hoed crop is
perhaps grown every year, In alterna-
ton with wheat, fairly large amount
OF available plant food will be main
tanned, but at the same time the
amount of stored moisture will be so
near the danger limit as to jeopardize
seriously the maturing crop. On the
other hand. where the soil after being
fall plowed and left in the rough
throughout the winter is allowed to lie
fallow the following summer a much
larger amount of plant food is set free
and at the same time a larger amount
of water is stored in the soil.

The Anglers Bait.

A wellknown angler at Peterbor-
ough having obtained wasps' nest
containing a large number of grubs,
placed the nest in the kitchen oven
to kill the grubs so that he could use
them for bait.
The next morning he went to get
the grubs, but on opening the oven
door a swarm of wasps flew out. The
grubs, but was sufficiently warm to
hatch them.-London Daily Mail.
