Some ForgetfuI People.

A minister's wife, a doctors wife and
a travelling mans wife met one day re-
Gently and were talking about the for
getfulness of their husbands. The min
ister's wife thought her husband the
most forgetful man living because he
would go to church and forget his notes
and no one could make out what he was
trying to preach about. The doctors
wife thought her husband was the more
forgetful, for he would often start out
to see patient and forget his medicine
case, and therefore travelled miles for
nothing. Well said the travelling
mans wife, my husband beats that.
He came home the other day and patted
me ON the cheek and said: believe I've
seen you before, little girl, what is your
your name" HUH Nothing for ira,
Yelling man. Sidney Herald.

Where the phosphoric waves in the
moonlight dance;
Showed him the Channel Islands gay,

Showed him the sun. as it said good
night;
Showed him the CLEAN of the light

But he simply said, this rural jay,
It's no nicer than that in Iowa"

Showed him rural paradise;
Showed him roses blooming red,
And the golden peoples yellow head.

Showed him oranges everywhere;
Showed him a winter, warm as spring,
Showed him the best of everything

Of better things in Iowa.

And made him battle on Long Beach

LARGER CROP ON RICH SOIL
Startling Statement Made by Or. W'dt-
SOC in Paper Prepared for Dry
Farm Congress.

A plant growing ON rich soil can
make twice as much growth with
given amount Of water as plant grow
ing on a poor soil. That was the
startling statement made by DR..
Widtsoe of Utah in paper prepared
for the Dry Farming congress. He
cited an experiment. Corn required 9OS
pounds of water to produce one pound
dry matter; when the same field was
manured it required but 612 pounds
in other words. the field when ma.
nured could produce third more. He
secured similar results by cultivation.
Stirring the soil enervated plant food.
1t seems to be a good deal like the
results that might be expected from
feeding a man thin or thick soup.
These facts are important to the dry
farmer; but also to the humid region
farmer and to the irrigator.

MONTANA DRY FARM RESULTS
Conclusions as Arrived at After Six
Years Of Experimenting Are
Very Interesting.

For the past six years the Montana
ing experiments upon dry land, under
the direct charge Of Prof. Alfred At
kinson and Mr.. j. B. Nelson, superin-
tendent Of dry farm work. The results
are to be published in bulletin No 83,
and may be had upon application to
the director of the experiment sta
ton. The conclusions drawn from
are as follows:
l. That the precipitation during the
six years, 1905-10, was very close to
the normal precipitation as shown by
all Of the available records Of the u.
8. weather bureau. This applies to
the total amount as we'll as to the dis
tribution Of the rainfall over the grow
ing season.
2. That, OF all crops raised, pota-
toes, with an average yield Of 1852
bushels per acre, and returning an
average net profit Of $41.99, are the
most profitable. OF the grain crops,
fall sown or winter wheat gives the
best returns. Kharkov, an improved
Turkey Red, gave an average yield
Of 40.41 bushels and an average net
profit of $21.30 per acre. This was
grown at the Fergus county station
only. The Turkey Red, which was
grown all years and at all stations.
gave an average yield of 32.45 BUSH
els, with an average net profit OF
$14.49 per acre. Among the spring
planted grains, corn, Hanna barley
sixty-day oats and fax, In the order
named, were the most profitable;
while alfalfa md fodder corn were
the most satisfactory forage crops.
3. That 1t is decidedly more profit
| able to raise grain crops under sys-
TEN of alternate cropping and fall
lowing. or summer tillage. than to
raise them continuously.
4. That the first crop will be more
profitable II breaking Is done the year
previo4s than If the crop is planted
the same spring, Immediately after
breaking.
s. That more profitable crops are
raised where the fallow Is summer
tllleQ tnan WneTe IL IL dilOWcu " ho
untouched through the summer.
| s.. That 1t makes no practical diff
ference in the yield of grain whether
fall blowing or spring plowing is prac-
ticed in the preparation of the pre-
ceding fallow.
Z. That on the average five pecks
OF seed Is the best amount to use In
seeding dry land grain crops.
8. That there Is positive loss from
lessened yield where fall sown crops
are fallowed in the spring.
9. That grains planted In the ordi
nary way, with a seed drill, give
larger yields than grains planted IN
rows "a inches apart and intertilled
during growth.

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for q long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
Il became satisfied some months
ago that l owed the palpitation of the
heart from which l suffered almost
daily. to the use Of coffee, q had been
coffee drinker for 30 years) but l
found it very hard to give up the bev.
erage.
"One day ran across a very SEN
sible and Straightforward presenta-
tion Of the claims Of Postum, and
was SO impressed thereby that l con-
cluded to give 1t trial.
my experience with 1t was unsat-
isfactory till learned how it ought
to be prepared-by thorough boiling
for not less than Is or 20 minutes.
After learned that lesson there was
no trouble.
Postum proved to be a most palat-
able and satisfactory hot beverage.
and have used it ever since.
The effect on my health has been
most salutary. The heart palpitation
from which l used to suffer 30 much.
particularly after breakfast, has dis
appeared and l never have q return of
1t except when dine or lunch away
from home and drink the old kind of
coffee because Postum Is not served.
l find that Postum cheers and invfg.
crates while 1t produces no harmful
stimulation" Name given by Postum

POULTRY NOTES.

When you buy your incubator, buy
two brooders-and if you can, three
of them.
The early maturing pullet makes
the best hen to breed an egg laying
strain from.
When ducks are raised for breed
ers it is a practice to set ducks upon
their own eggs.
Fine grit and charcoal are mighty
good to have around easy Of access
for the chickens.
The ventilation of the roosting
quarters should come from the scratch
ing shed If possible.
Sell all the old scrub fowls and put
the money into pure bred ROSTERS
no matter II you do have to pay from
SIS to $25.
Remember the chickens have on
their out of doors clothes all the time
and will keep warm II their clothes
are kept dry.
The Plymouth Rock stands at the
head for market fowl and for large
eggs. The Rose Comb Rhode Island
Reds come next.
Every masculine looking hen should
be avoided-such are not good layers
and are not likely to be the dams
of good layers.
For those who wish to raise large
numbers of early chickens. or who
keep only non-sitting breeds. the
brooder Is a necessity.
Furnish generous supply Of nests
for hens Quarreling over favorite
nests often break eggs in the fuss and
the broken ones are eaten.
Food rich in protein, with a judici
GUS prop ortion Of carbonaceous ele
ments to keep up heat and force. will
enable q hen to lay freely.
Oats, with the outer husks removed
or softened, combined with wheat
bran. some corn, and a supply o.
| meat. make an excellent laying food
