tool we have, says a writer in an ex-
change. know of no tool that will
take the place of the fingers In clean
ing weeds from among the plants in
the hill or row. The hoe and cult
vator can do the most of this work.
hut l always find 4 few weeds to be
pulled by hand. Frequent cultivation
is very desirable in time of drouth. or
any other time, for that matter. l
think the extremely dry time this
summer will stimulate some to raise
more foliage crops to help out the hay
crop In the future. That will be a
good thing. For WORKOUT fields l
think that generally blowing, dressing
and reseeding is the best treatment.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
81 notified the grocer, but finding
that there was nc coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared some OF the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
ut was an immediate success In my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren. too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and I would have a mutiny
on my hands should 1 omit the be-
loved beverage.
"My husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
"Noting the good effects in my FAM
lily / wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She vas prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"

BEE KEEPING is PROFITABLE
Every Farmer Growing Fruit Should
Keep Few of Little Honey
Gatherers In Orchard.
CRy f. G.

(By r. U. 6EftMAN.J
l know that many farmers feel
that they have as many calls upon
their time and energies as they can
attend to, and as they realize that this
industry is an art If itself and re-
quires no little intelligence and study
to conduct it in the best fashion.
they are apt to be discouraged in
adding 1t to their already overfull
duties.
I think, however, that there is an
other way to look at this matter. In
almost every business the person en-
gagged in it will be more successful If
he adds some r%ecreative work. This
If entirely different from his regular
work, will give restful pleasure and
make life pleasanter. Bookkeeping Is
especially desirable In this connection
as there are very few kinds Of work
that are SC full of interest and sc gen.
orally attractive.
Every one growing fruit or any
plant that is intended to yield seed
should be interested In beekeeping.
There is a nurseryman and berry
grower who has a farm about two and
a half miles from my home apiary,
just a little too far for the bees to
visit, 80 by mutual agreement l keep
about thirty colonies or his farm and
run them for extracted honey, and
we are both benefited by the arrange
ment.
Nearly all parts of our country pro-
duce honey in quantities sufficient to
pay for the gathering. The amount
of honey that goes to waste every year
for want Of bees to gather 1t is very
large; In fact, too large to estimate.
Every farm has on it fruit trees,
berry patches, clover or buckwheat
fields, all of which produce nectar,
which, in the absence of bees, is evap.
GRATED by the sun and practically
wasted. The forests also contain
many linden and white wood trees,
which are good honey yielders.

firm, but it can be nailed with soft
nails clinched.
By using bolts to fasten the first
piece from the post to the next side
piece, or If the connection is made at
each post, the fence can readily be
taken down and moved to any part
of the farm, without diff culty.
OF course this involves making ev-
cry length between posts a separate
section, but this takes very little more
time than to build the ordinary wire
fence, and some poultrymen will say
1t Is a great convenience.
