EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cof-
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
my son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds or
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
HE used to drink coffee. as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
IT was always fond of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous / could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such con-
dition / thought / might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and 1 was almost desperate. 1t was
about this time we decided to quit cof-
fee and use Postum, and have used 1t
ever since. am In perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.
Postum has been great blessing
to us all, particularly to my son and
myself"

pounds Of phosphorus in the first
seven inches, and this entire amount
of phosphorus would be sufficient for
only 70 years of such farming. On
the other hand, suppose with this crop
rotation we can secure from the soil
each year only one per cent OF the
phosphorus contained in the first
seven inches; this would be only IL
pounds year, and would necessarily
reduce the crop yields much below the
amount suggested.
"Three crops of corn In this rotation
would remove 200 pounds of nitrogen
per acre. If all the nitrogen contained
in the clover crop is taken from the
air, the clover roots and stubbfe would
apply only 80 pounds Of nitrogen to
the soil Here will be net loss OF
more than 200 pounds Of nitrogen in
this rotation.
cit is not possible to maintain the
supply of nitrogen by such a system.
Where this rotation is successful for
a time, 1T is due to the fact, that the
soil nitrogen has been drawn upon
year by year, while the chief effect OF
the clover has been to extract phos-
phorus from the soil for its own
growth and for the use of succeeding
crops.
"If the yields were only half those
assumed above they would not be re-
duced SO rapidly, but it would be a
matter of a little longer time when
such rotation would fail.
"On land capable OF furnishing nj
trogen for even a 5O-bushel crop of
corn, the clover crop will undoubtedly
draw third Of It's nitrogen from the
soil and not more than two-thirds from
the air. Consequently since two-thirds
Of the nitrogen in the entire plant is
removed in the tops, the roots and
stubbles will leave no more nitrogen
in the soil than the plant takes from
the soil.
eff all the crops taken in the rota-
ton are fed, including the corn-stalks,
and If three-fourths of the nitrogen Is
returned in the manure, we have suff1-
cient to replace that removed in the
corn and oats crop. Possibly the
grain farmer can maintain the nitro
gen by blowing under everything pro-
duced excepting the grains and the
clover seed, preferably only one corn
crop being grown in rotation.
"This nitrogen can be maintained
easier in a six-year rotation. to include
about two years of pasture, using a
mixture of red clover, alsike, timothy
and red top, instead of seeding red
clover only, with the oats. This would
mean three grain crops, and meadow
and pasture the other half of the
time"

Pruning Raspberries.

Pinching back the new growth dur.
ing summer, thereby causing more
bushy form has long been the accept
ed method of pruning. A better plan
is to let the canes make q natural
growth, then during the winter cut
back to three or three and one-half
feet. In spring tie to wire support
ed by stakes. Much larger berries
can be grown, there is less difficulty
In picking and much better price
can be obtained for the fruit. This
method will pay handsomely on the
fruit farm and is the ideal plan for
the ordinary farmer. The work can
be done in winter when there is plenty
Of time.

Skinny.

A contributor to the American Mag
azine tells the following story:
"A clerk in one of the great jewelry
stores on Fifth avenue in New York
City exhibited to a rich and weary
customer lady's handbag, five inches
square, made of platinum and fairly
we'll covered on one side only with
diamonds. The price was $4,000. The
fact that one side only was covered
with diamonds troubled the customer.
Turning the handbag around and
around, and looking at 1t from all
sides over and over, he finally said.
Very pretty-really. But I don't like
one side without diamonds. Honestly
the thing looks skimpy-rather skim
py' At an additional expense Of ST.
900 this difficulty was removed"

planted as deeply as they should,
blowing this depth will cause them to
produce deep root system which will
not be injured as quickly by freezing
or drought. After this blowing the
fertilizer should be applied and
worked with disk harrow or cult
vator.
Frequent civilizations should be
given with the cultivator or disk har-
row, running deep enough to form a
good soil mulch and prevent subse-
Quent baking or crusting Of the sur
face, and prevent loss of soil moist
ure by evaporation. Thorough cul-
ture kills all the weeds, which are a
constant drain on the soil moisture
and plant food, and also assists in de-
composing and iberating any plant
food which may have turned under.

(By l.. M. BENNINGTON)
The cutting of alfalfa should be done
when not more than one-half the
plants have blossomed.
At this stage the yield for the sea-
son will be greater than If cut earlier,
therefore more feed will be secured.
Late cutting of the first crop Injuries
the plant and the increased yield from
succeeding crops will not make up for
the loss Of the first crop.
The leaves Of alfalfa contain much
more feeding value than the stems,
and every effort should be made to
save the leaves.
When the ground and weather are
dry it will cure readily and Is safe to
rake within few hours after moving,
and to stack within few hours after
raking.
The Odanah star. [volume] (Odanah, Ashland Co., Wis.) 1912-1916, 1914-06-19

When alfalfa is very rank and sue
culent and the weather is damp it is
not great task to dry the leaves, but
the stems will be wet.
Always have the hay dry enough be-
fore stacking that when a handful OF
stems is twisted together no water can
be squeezed out.
Now early in the morning, after the
dew is off, allowing the sun to wilt the
swath. Then rake and put It in mar.
row tall cocks before night.
The next morning, after the dew is
off, open the cocks, but do not shatter
the leaves; the following afternoon the
hay will usually be in shape to stack.
OF course you will sometimes be
governed by weather conditions, but
when the weather is fair this is a very
satisfactory method to follow.

CULTIVATION OF PEACH TREES
Cuitivator or Disk Harrow Should Be

1t is very essential to take the very
best possible care of the young peach
trees. They should be kept thrifty and
healthy, and all the necessary care
given them to conserve the moisture

AS soon as the soil will permit, 1t
