and let them remain several days,
then turn them over, repeating this
operation until thoroughly dried.
1t usually takes me about a week
to cure my oats properly. When the
weather is not favorable and l fear a
rain before they have time to dry in
the windrow l build very large cocks
and build them so as to turn the
water as much as possible.
These cocks go through a sweat
and may stand if necessary two or
even three weeks, after which they
must be stacked or put into the barn.
When unloading every two loads
can be sailed thoroughly and tramped
down, it will then go through another
sweat.
Such hay when fed with clover will
prove excellent for horses and cattle.

FOR SAFETY TO THE DRIVER
Mirrors Installed on Streets of English
Towns Have Proved of Material
Benefit.

Mirrors at street corners to provide
for the drivers of vehicles a view OF
the cross streets have been installed
In at least two towns in England. In
Folkestone there is an acute angle
street crossing where one corner is
built up close to the curb. On this
corner is placed 24x24 inch mirror
supported on gas pipe standards at
such\ an angle that drivers of vehicles
coming toward the built-up corner
from either Of the two opposite streets
can see up the streets at right an
giles to their path.
The engineer in charge states that
owing to the impossibility of motor
lists seeing any one-coming traffic sew
eral accidents and narrow escapes
have occurred at that point. Since
the mirror has been fixed he has not
heard of anything approaching an &C
cident. The damp, mist, rain or frost
have no Ill effect on the mirror,
which is occasionally cleaned by
passing lamplighter when cleaning his
lamps.
At Malmesburg, in Wiltshire, a mir
ror five by eight feet in size, support
ed on standards so that its top is 10
feet above the street, occupies an an
gular position at the apex of a closed
right-angle curve. The engineer In
charge says THE mirror requires
scarcely any cleaning; only a wipe
over once in about three months. -

HOW MANY OF US

A KY. lady, speaking about food,
says: II was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
after l had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with
good quantity of rich cream.
In few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and
began to have strength that had
never been possessed of before,
vigor of body and a poise of mind that
amazed me. 1t was entirely new In
my experience.
"My former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when l have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in guam
tity, then l would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when l
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated returned TO my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis
turbance left very quickly. =

result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name

The other day a steamship from
Glasgow arrived at New York with a
passenger list Of sixty people, one-half
of whom were young women engaged
to be married. Thirty young men
their prospective bridegrooms-were
waiting at the pier to receive them.
There are those who look upon the In
cident as blow to native industry.
American legislators have been busy
protecting home products of many
kinds. There are laws on the statute
books forbidding the importation OF
contract labor. Homegrown potatoes
are protected, but there is no law
guarding the homegrown girl from
foreign competition by forbidding the
importation Of contract brides. The
marriage market in America is open
to all the world. So far no voice has
been raised in protest against this
anomalous state Of things. Perhaps
It is because young manageable
American women are unorganized and
without a vote. Perhaps It is be-
cause they do not fear competition.
