Passed on the Highway.

The automobilist was tinkering up
his car by the roadside. Some trifing
defect had Jared on his sensitive
nerves.
Suddenly around the corner came
an aged man.
Hold on a half minute, old top,

you a lift to town"
But the aged man grinned and
walked along.
Thanks, sonny" he called back.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts Is never crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food.
Grape-Nuts, and get we'll.
MY baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which l had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared it as
follows: / soaked " tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and
a little sugar, warmed II and gave II
to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way / saved
baby's life and have built her up to q
strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect
as this. l can truthfully say l think
1t is the best food in the waZld to

COMFORTABLE HENS
ARE THE LAYERS
Anything in Poultry Line Finds
Market, but High Prices
Paid for Choice Goods.
CBy NJ. X. BOYER.)

Each year the poulterer better I'M
derstands the care of poultry, knows
their wants and has discovered how to
keep them comfortable. The comfort
able hens are the ones that do the
laying.
About thirty years ago when poultry
farming was young, as a business, a
cry arose that 1t would not be long
before there would be such a surplus
of stock that prices would go tumbiing
but Notwithstanding that there are
ten successful plants today to every
one thirty years ago and the demand
not half reached!
With the increase Of supply came
the increase of demand and today we
are no nearer meeting the demand
than we ever were.
However, there is a change in the
market which must not be lost sight
of. Almost anything in the poultry
line sells, but the choicest prices are
alone given to the fancy goods"
The word fancy" implies more
than appearance. It means also quail
ity. Poultry and egg buyers are be-
coming particular, but they are willing
to pay for their goods. If they want
the brown eggs they will not take
white, and If they prefer the white
the brown ones offer no temptation.
The market today demands choice,
plump, fresh stock. Have you got it.?
If so, the market is waiting for you
We have today quite a number of
breeds. and all, TO a certain extent, are
practical. But thS will not. any one
OF them, fill all the purposes, therefore,
II is necessary for man to select only
such breeds as will best serve his
customers
OF the entire list of breeds none
will meet the demands of Americans
SO satisfactorily ar do the American
varieties and in this class the most
popular are the Wyandottes, the Ply
mouth Rocks, with the Rhode Island
Reds closely following. Also our
American strains Of Light Brahmas
and Leghorns.
The Brahmas belong to the Asiatic
class as a breed, but the Light Brahma
as bred by our people is so different
from that bred in England that one
would hardly suppose them TO be of
the same family. This is also true of
the Leghorns. which belong TO the
Mediterranean class.

SELECTING AND

Many people make the fatal mis-

need of care in selecting and preparing
soils for alfalfa as for any other crop
and probably more, because of it's
deep roofing habits and large plant
food requirements.
Deep, loamy soils with open sub

operation with farmers throughout
Indiana. 6S out of SO clays, 167 out
of 1873 loans, and 60 out of IT sandy
soils gave satisfactory results.
Many soils that at present are not
fit for alfalfa culture may be made
so by providing drainage facilities,
correcting acidity, adding organic
matter or supplying needed plant
food. according to the requirements.
Good drainage is essential In order
that the roots may go deep into the
soil. Hardpan must be broken up or
avoided altogether Soils that are
sour may be made sweet by thorough
drainage and the application of lime.
A good supply of decomposable or
ganic matter in the soil helps the
bacterial action In making plant
food available. facilitates the inocu-
latng process, and together with q
good drainage prevents heaving in
the spring. For soils that are out OF
condition in this respect, a good way
to supply organic matter II sufficient
manure is not available is to raise
and plow under a crop of cowpeas
or some green manuring crop before
attempting TO grow alfalfa.
Peat and muck soils may be used
for alfalfa If they are well drained
and properly supplied with mineral
plant food. Potash is nearly always
lacking in these soils and often phos-
phoric acid and lime must also be
supplied. Soils that are subject to
hocding are not good for alfalfa,

a lively sentiment regarding their

Style. speed, conformation and dis

ties Of a higb-class light, harness
horse, every quality above mentioned

mentioned. Without these four &C
complishments an animal OF the road
sted class cannot command the top
notch price on the market, SO It is
greatly to the advantage of the farm
er. who at the same time Is a breed
er, to remember these requisites. 1t
may be safely said that without style
the light harness horse does not elicit
admiration, that without speed he
cannot keep pace with the times"
that without beauty Of appearance or
conformation he will not set off hand
some trappings and equipage-and
lastly that lacking a docile disposi-
ton he is practically useless for the
purpose for which he is meant
No animal used by man needs to
be so carefully handled and trained
as the roadster, for oftentimes he is
driven by women and children there
fore upon his docilit.- depends the
safety of their lives.
In these days of horse TERRIERS
such as motor-cars. bicycles, traction
engines and the like, a horse must be
thoroughly broken to be sold as safe
or lady broke" He must be fearless
as far as all ordinary objects are con
cerned, yet he must be imbued witt
the proper amount of spirit when oc
casion demands.
AS II is a conceded fact among
| horsemen that the American trottel
| Is the fastest light harness horse II
the world, 1t is natural to suppose
Mexico Missouri message., 1913-08-14

that tho farmer who wants to raise
light harness horses will choose a
trotting bred sire, and a dam In whose
veins flows a generous infusion of
their trotting or thoroughbred run
ming blood. This line OF breeding
should bring desired results in the
way OF colts which will later on de-
velop into road horses OF a high
type.
There are some families of trotters
remarkable for their beauty of APP
pearance and symmetry of form indi-
viduals making stylish single driv-
ers, while many handsome carriage
teams are of the standard trotting
blood. Then again there are families
OF thoroughbreds that combine beau
ty with speed, and also show consid-
cradle speed at the trot
The writer we'll remembers a race
horse, strictly thoroughbred, who in
doing his work, under the saddle
would trot a mile in 305 and he was
a good race horse at that. The late
Senator Leland Stanford of California
EdlStu many Bltdb ilOettip Ndo GIL
horsemen know by breeding his
great stallion Electioneer to mares
that are practically thoroughbred. So
1t goes, running and trotting blood
makes a trotter, and a trotter must
necessarily be a good roadster even
II he is never put into regular train
ing.
We will suppose that a farmer has
pair of light harness horses that he
has raised, breeding, style, conforma-
ton, education and speed are up to
the standard. This pair will perform
well in single and double harness,
now If the breeder wants to sell
from 5000 to $500, may be a little
more, could be asked and re
ceived.
The writer feels assured that the
above figures are not eXtravagant IL
the least, as the demand for a higl
type of light harness horse is yer!
good, but horses of this class mus
come up to the requirements OF the
trade.
