HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating

AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
tn the barley which changes the starch
into most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also. placed up I'm.
der the outer-coat Of the wheat, are
included In Grape-Nuts, but are lack
ing in white -four because the outer
coat Of the wheat darkens the -four
and is left out by the miller. These

At thirty-six hours of age they were

slept there at night.
Very soon the colts were perfectly
halter-broken (long before they we're
weaned) and in being halter-broken
they were taught one of the most i'm

namely, to stand tied when hitched.
This one quality is about half of the
education Of horse, and without it
no horse is properly broken.

BUCkWHEAT MAKES
GOOD CATTLE FEED
Quick Growing Crop and Straw
Is Good Absorbent for Use
About the Stables.
(By A. J. LEGG.)


Thirty years ago farmers were pre-
JUDGED against buckwheat as a farm
crop. They thought buckwheat very
exhaustive crop and that 1t ruined
their soil.
Now nearly every farmer in this
section grows few acres Of buck.
wheat. and while 1t is quick-growing
crop and. OF course. removes consid.
cradle Of the plant food, 1t does not
seem to be harder on the soil than
corn or oats.
Buckwheat will keep down the weeds
and keep the soil practically free from
them. 1t is an excellent crop with
which to sow grass and clover on &C.
count Of this, and also because it ma
lures quickly and leaves the young
plants In complete possession Of the
soil.
AS to the value of the buckwheat. 1t
makes a good feed for all the stock
and the straw is good absorbent to
use about the stable. The nutritive
ratio of buckwheat is about one to
seven.
As to its cultivation, it may be
sown here as late as August and ma.
ture crop. 1t only requires about 60
days in which to mature. An acid
phosphate seems to be the fertilizer
to use.
The West Virginia experiment sta
ton found that $50 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre was the most eco.
nomical fertilizer to use ON buck
wheat.
A heavier application did not pay
the extra cost of the fertilizer In in.
creased yield.
One bushel Of Japanese buckwheat,
or three pecks of the Silver Hull vari-
ETY. per acre. is enough seed to use
The soil should be we'll prepared,
by blowing, narrowing and rolling. 1t
is usually better to pillow the ground
two or three weeks before seeding.
The crop is sown here at any time
from May until August. with fairly
good results.
The earlier sowings do not usually
yield as many bushels per acre as tho
late ones. but the seed is usually bet
ter matured and weighs heavier.

PIG.EATING HABIT

conditions the mother will sacrifice
her own life for that Of her young. but
the reverse has never been heard Of.
Why, then, with this fact should we
be led to believe we feed our hogs
too much; that the cure is more ami
NAL food and protein? Why cultivate
a taste for meat?
Which sow is 1t that most needs
protein? Is 1t the gilt that must grow
both her own frame and her litter, or
lis 1t the mature SOW that has only
her litter?
It Is known fact that on stock
farms where as many as fifty or more
brood sows are kept they and their
progeny run after the cattle.
The only feed Of these sows may be
