HOW COCA COLA REFREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others to the fact that 1t was the first in
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion OF a
manufacturing chemist who has analyZ-
ID Coca Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity Of the drink
in large part to its quality of refresh
Ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is practically
! identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments Of DR.. Holling-
worth of Columbia University and of
DR.. H. G. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages Coffee, tea,
Coca Cola, etc relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use of
the latter is followed by period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting in the formation Of
"habit."-Adv.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest Is attached to
the condition of the grain crops in
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing Of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall plowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready of
land this spring made considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape. although from week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were: abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation of bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short in straw"
This is followed by a report July
5th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada In 1913

SWEET CLOVER JUST RohT FOR CUTTING for F1N1

creases the trouble If clover hay is
properly cured and put into the NOV
in frst-class condition, and the NOW
we'll ventilated, there is not much
danger of heating.
In order to make a good clover-hay
crop we must thoroughly understand
the nature of the plant. When the
crop is ripening the water is constant
ly passing out of the soil up through
the roots. the stalk, and into the air
through the leaves. The plant is be-
ing built up and matured in this way
When the blossoms begin to turn
brown, that is a sign that the connec-
tion between the water and the plant
is being lessened, and this is the time
when the crop should be cut because
it completely sewers the connection
and reduces the amount of water in
the plant
rs per cent. of water left in the stalk
and the problem Is how to get rid of
the most of it without drying out the
plant too much, thereby rendering it
lass palatable and less valuable as
stock food.
When clover hay is put into the
barn in exactly the right condition
1t has about 25 per cent. of moisture,
which it has absorbed from the soil.
In the west. where the acreage is
generally much larger than in the east
and south, many clover raisers find it
a good plan to cut their hay in the
evening, turning it over next day after
the sun is we'll up with the tedder.
The side delivery rake Is probably
used more in the west than in other
sections of the country, and this is
found to be a practicable and useful
machine.
The best time to make clover hay
is on cool, clear day with the wind
blowing, for the wind cures the hay
better than the sun.
A very hot sun, particularly If there
is much humidity in the air, kills the
leaf structure and prevents it from
eyaporating the moisture. When hay
is tossed up loose in the windrow, or
In small cocks, the air can pass
through it, and this absorbs the mois-
ture more rapidly than the sun.
Good hay is not dried grass, dis
tinction which many farmers have not
learned. When clover hay is put into
the barn 1t ought to have some mois-
ure in it. not the moisture produced by
rain or dew, but the natural moisture
which the plant has absorbed from
the SOIL
If clover is not cut until all the
heads are brown, 1t can easily be
cured, but it will not make very good
hay. Again, if the hay is raked up
into cocks when it is perfectly dry,
and then becomes soaked, much of its
value is lost.

- HHYLoADER5 IN OPERATION
~ SAVE TIr1E AND bACKACHE

Mixed timothy and clover should be
cut Immediately after the bloom be-
gins to fall. Close watch must be
kept Of the meadow at this period, as
the timothy blooms and sheds its
blossoms in a very short time. When
the bloom is on full, the heads are
full grown and the seed firmly set, SO
that they do not shatter easily in han
ding. Cut just at this time, the nu-
triton of the hay is retained and it
makes fine selling product.
If the grass is allowed to stand un-
till bit overripe, the seeds will shat
ter in handling, and much of its sub
stance will be lost. The stems, too,
become hard and lose much Of their
succulence so greatly relished by the
live stock, because the moisture leaves
the stems very quickly after the grass
has reached maturity.
If cut after thoroughly ripe the
most desirable portion of the hay is
lost. Many of the blades are entirely
lost in handling, and what remains
table to stock
| Whenever you observe much hay
left in the hangers be sure it has been
rejected by the stock because it is
unfit for their needs. Sometimes
stock will eat this woody, dry hay out
of necessity, but 1t does them no good.
On the other hand, the early mown,
mixed hay possesses all of those ele-
ments SO necessary to the building up
of animal tissue, and live stock will
eat it up clean. The farmer who finds
it difficult to obtain enough waste hay
to supply bedding for his animals may
be sure that he is getting about all
the benefit there is to be had from his
hay crop.
While it is not wise to cut 100
early, still it is better to err on the
side Of early than of late cutting. The
amount of good hay secured by early
cutting is usually greater than that
when cut after the crop has thorough
ly matured.
One thing in favor of early cutting
is the fact that the drain upon the
soil is stopped. The ripening process
of the hay crop exhausts the soil very
rapidly. and it is important that the
elements necessary to produce good
hay should be kept in the soil as long
as possible. Renewing and maintain
Ing soil for hay is another story.
By moving meadows early in the
season the grass will spring up and
form early and succulent fall graz
ing at period when there is usually
shortage in pasture, and when the
live stock need it most
OF course, it can be dried out and
present the appearance of pretty good
hay, but all the same tits safe to count
that about half of it's value has been
destroyed by the rain.
The use of canvas caps is therefore
to be recommended

Even In the Child Mind.

This incident was related by Mark
Twain with great glee about certain
little girl friend who "shone as an
authoress." One day, she handed her
devoted sympathizer the sheets of a
story which read thus:
"A man was seated In chair by
the fireside brooding over his trou-
bles. He was sad because his wife
was dead. Suddenly a specter ap-
peared before him, and it was his
wife. She said: Dear, could not
bear to see you so sad and discon-
tented, so l have come to comfort
you. You must not be sad. You
must be bright and happy. 1t was
best that should leave you when l
did. because was going to get a d.

the mower can be started and kept
ahead only few acres at time. One
man can operate the mower and ted
der The tedder should be started an
hour or so before the hay is to be
taken up, and this is work which re-
quires great care if the crop is to be
saved in the best condition.
If the hay crop is large loader is
almost Indispensable, because it will
do the work much faster than any two
men, and do it better. AS it is always
difficult to get help in haying time, 1t
is a good plan for several farmers to
buy and operate a loader and other
haying machinery on the cooperative
plan. BY little careful figuring and
good Judgment group of farmers can,
in this way, help one another to save
their crops, with less labor and less
expense, and with more certainty of
success than could be attained in any
other way.
Timothy hay may be baled directly
from the swath without much danger
of heating, although 1t is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before be-
ing baled. If hay is baled directly
from the swath it must be entirely
free from rain or dew, and this pro-
cess can be employed only under the

entirely the safety of the clover crop.
The best time to cut clover is when
it is in full, rich bloom, and before
any brown heads appear in the field.
Many farmers claim that clover should
not be cut at this stage, but the ex-
perience of the writer Is that nine
times out of ten the crop will be saved
In better condition than II allowed to
stand longer.
Start the mowers early in the morn
ing, because dew will not hurt the
clover, provided the weather is fine;
run the machine until about ten
o'clock, and then stop for the day. If
the weather is bright the tedder
should be started about noon, and the
hay raked in small windrows, and these
can be allowed to stand until the hay
is ready to be drawn into the barn.
If the weather is just right the hay
will be ready to be taken from the
field within "a hours, and put up in
that condition 1t should retain all of
Its leaves and succulence. and make

If even slight rain falls. or If the
hay is allowed to remain III the field
more than day, the small piles
should be turned over. The hay must
be perfectly dry when it is put into the
barn: If it is not trouble will quickly

A woman who was left to the task
OF bringing up two small children be-
gan early to train them to consider
necessities above all else. They
could always look back to a home
brimming with comfort, although the
furnishings were simple enough. They
had warm clothing in winter and thin
clothing in summer, and as they asso-
ciated with the children Of wealth
they must have been thoroughly pre-
sentable. Habits are strong, but
sometimes they can be broken. The
son was the first to go out into the
big world and he easily learned new
ways of spending. The daughter pre-
served her sensible, thrifty ways to
the last and she is drilling them into
children of her own by teaching the

what she learned in her own child
hood.
