IT'S FOOD
That Restores and Makes Health
Possible.

There are stomach specialists as
well as eye and ear and other special
lists.
One Of these told young lady. of
New Brunswick. n. j., TO quit medi-
cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
For about IL months l suffered Sc
verely with gastritis. l was unable
to retain much OF anything on my
stomach, and consequently was CON-
pelled to give up my occupation.
II took quantities Of medicine. and
had an idea l was dieting, but l con-
tinued to suffer, and soon lost is
pounds In weight. l was depressed
in spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af-
fected that 1t was impossible to be-
come interested In even the lightest
reading matter.
After suffering for months I de-
cided TO 60 to stomach specialist
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve Immediately.
1t was the keynote of a new life.
Il found that had been eating too
much starchy food which l did not d.
gest, and that the cereals which l had
tried had been too heavy. 1 soon
proved that 1t is not the quantity Of
food that one eats, but the quality.
In few weeks l was able to 20

EiILiNo TIE ailo.

Many farmer Will be confronted In
the course of few weeks with the job
Of filing the silo for the first time. For
such few suggestions taken from an
Iowa bulletin which gives the silo ex-
perience of datrymen and feeders In
different parts of the country will be
timely. AS to the proper time for cut
ting corn for the silo there seems to
be quite general agreement that 1t Is
ready TO cut when It would be ready to
shock-that Is, when the kernels are
denied and when the outer husks and
lower leaves are turning brown. While
the length into which the corn should
be cut vary with different users, from
one-half to three-fourths of an inch
gives a finer silage which can be pack
ed into the silo more closely, In which
there Is less waste in feeding and
which increases the capacity Of the
Bilo considerably. Slow and rapid fill
ing have points In their favor, but the
latter method IL followed by a ma
jority, as 1t gives a moro uniform quail
ity Of silage, obviates the necessity Of
putting up corn that Is too green or
too dry Ghd Is also the more economical
way. With rapid filing a second I'LL
ing Ia usually necessary about ten
days after the first silage has been
put in. The more uniformly and thor
oughly the silage is packed down as 1t
is put in the better the quality and the
longer 1t will keep In distributing the
sllqge the outer edge should be kept
about two feet higher than the center
and kept especially well packed. The
work of tamping may be done by foot,
but cement hampers give even better
results. This tends to make the silo
more completely air tight and reduces
loss from mold to q minimum. In the
case Of wooden silos any opening that
would let air into the silage should be
filled with soft clay. In case the corn
used is overmature and dry the silage
should be moistened az 1t is run in. In
topping off the silo some use char or
cut straw; others soak the top with
water and seed with oats, which sprout
and form q nearly air tight mat. The
cost of filing the silo varies with diff
ferent outfits from 40 cents to 81 per
ton-that is, this Is the total cost from
the standing corn In field to the shred
ded product packed In the silo. The
larger the outfit the lower the cost Of
filing, as a rule. The process Of fer
mentation which converts the green
corn into silage requires about ten
days. If not used at once the top.
which Is likely to become moldy, should
be removed and used as manure, as
the feeding of 1t is often accompanied
with serious results

Rejected Compulsory Happiness.


In 1889 the inundation of the Yellow
river caused great suffering In China.
The inferior people not only "groaned
and murmured." but died by the hun
dreds. In order to raise funds for the
relief OF the survivors the project OF
Hangchow levied tax on each cup
of tea sold in the tea houses OF the
great city. The ancient capital as
sessed In this arbitrary fashion re-
scented that tax after the manner OF the
Bostonians Of 1T73. In spite OF the
humane object of the assessment the
citizens put boycott on tea. and the
proprietors OF the tea houses cried
out in protest
The project issued a second procla-
nation. in which he assured his people
that happiness was their sure reward
II they cheerfully contributed to this
excellent cause This agreeable as
surance had no effect on the boy
cotters, and the tax had to be removed

HoMESTEADlNG IN THE DRY
COUNTRY.

Not with a view to creating prejudice
against the vast country lying be
tween meridian 100 and the Rocky
mountains. but simply as warning to
some who have made entry on home
steads In the semiarid country and
who have had no experience with dry
farming methods, we would bring two
or three things to their attention which
may save them lot of grief In the
end. In tho country referred to, where
the annual rainfall is less than sixteen
or eighteen inches per year, 1t ia only
practicable to raise crop every other
year, the land having to lie fallow each
alternate season In order that enough
moisture may be stored up to insure n
crop the following year. This means
that one must have considerable ready
cash before starting out in such dry
country, not only for the purchase OF
necessary equipment for the working

but surplus to tide one over seasons
when nothing is produced. 1t Is well
to remember. too, that in years of ex
treme drought, such az the last two
have been. practically nothing can
be produced. In one instance the
writer knows OF u homesteader who
went to the country referred to has
had just one decent paying crop In
eleven years A little was produced In
three or four other seasons. but hardly
enough to furnish forage for the ami
mails which had to be kept on the
farm This may be an extreme ex-
perence, but 1t Is cited as showing
what some men run up against when
they cast their lot In the semiarid
country.
