CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace in Family.

II is quite significant, the number OF
persons who get well of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about 1t,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-caffeine-in coffee is not present in
Postum, which is made of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago l was having 80
much trouble with my heart" writes
lady in Washington, that at times
felt quite alarmed. Ny husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
1.-The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something / had been
accustomed TO, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
Il remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So / stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. have had no further
trouble since.
"a neighbor OF ours, an old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made 1t carefully according to direc-
lions.
HE drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
II to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than II
used to be, 90 she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead OF coffee"

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER 2S. The corn then was I'm.
touched by frost and II stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons TO the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor.

manifested itself At the Brandon ex.
perimental farm this year several va.
rieties. all very good yielders. matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced. and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing it,
should not 1t receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one of these
crops? In Ontario and IN the United
States we find ii forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since its in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn, even now we find scat
tered fields Of corn in Alberta and

much sound advice may still be
CLEANED from these ancient writer's on
this subject. The progressive fruit

the yearly pruning of the apple or
chard as they are in the harvesting

neglect the pruning of the trees abso-
lutely. Many such men are ready with
an excuse for their negligence, while
still others are unaware of their folly.
Unless a man is positively Indifferent
to the quality Of fruit borne on his
trees he has no excuse for such neg
lect, and even then his bad example is
a positive detriment to his community.
While one Of the excuses often Of
fered for neglecting the pruning of
fruit trees is that It is contrary to
the laws OF nature" a close observa-
ton not only proves the folly of this
reasoning, but II shows conclusively
that pruning is In accordance with ma
lures own methods rather than con-
trary to them.
If we examine the branch OF a tree
we find all gradations of dormant leaf
buds, small twigs, fruit spurs, etc A
close observation shows that there are
many more dormant buds than
branches, and that many small twigs
start to grow only to perish after a
short existence. Only few buds are
able TO produce twigs which eventually
produce flowers and fruit. Such then
is the struggle for existence among
the buds and branches of the tree.
Similar to the struggle among all the
organisms of the world. A tree is es-
sentially a collection or colony of In

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in it's approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in it's later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, II discovered early, so 1t is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull. heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat-
lea, neuritis. lumbago or kidney collie.

aim a regulation of growth and fruit

as a thinning of the fruit buds, and for
the regulation and distribution of new

for the better development of fruit is

PREPARE TURKEYS
FOR THE MARKET
Fowls Should Not Be Fed Too
Literally During First Few
Days OF Confinement.
CBy C. NJ. sHULTz.)

In preparing turkeys for market
they should not be fed too literally
during the first few days, but after
they have become used to confinement
should be given all they can eat up
clean. Only the very early Matched
birds will be large for the Thanks
giving market, and selections for this
market must be very carefully made.
The largest birds in the flock should
be placed by themselves in a large
pen. They must not be closely con-
fined. A large shed with tight sides
on the north and west with the south
and east sides covered with poultry
netting makes a good fattening pen.
1t must be covered, as the birds must
be kept perfectly dry. The pen should
be provided with low roosts in the
back part and 1t should be placed in
a secluded spot at some distance from
other poultry houses or barns, as tur-
keys are very shy, and IL excited by
a noise or other animals or strangers,
will not readily take on fat.
The feeding troughs should be
placed on the outside OF the pen, SO
that they can be easily cleaned and
filed without continually entering the
pen. This work should be done quiet
ly and at regular intervals. The
troughs should be kept scrupulously
clean. Nothing is better than galvan-
lied iron for this purpose. as they
can be scalded, and in this way mad0

troughs absorb great deal of moist
ure, and 1t is almost impossible &c
