coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring. they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
MY mother, since her early child
hood. was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago | was making a
visit to a distant part Of the country
and took dinner with one Of the
merchants of the place. noticed a
somewhat unusual favour Of the .cof-
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was well and
hearty.

Important experiments have recent

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF BOAR
Task Of Keeping Him From Herd 10
Rather LaborIous, But II Is by
Far the Best Method.

The best hog raisers do not per-
nit the boar to run with the herd,
There are reasons why this should
not be done. If one is to control the
time of narrowing and the use of the
boar it can only be done when he is
kept by himself.
It is too common practice to sell
the boar when the season is over rath-
er than keep him for future use, de-
pending upon getting another young
one. This is a ruinous practice and
is largely responsible for small lit
tiers and weak bone. Get a good boar
and keep him for a few years. MAJ
turity Is good for him.
Have a small yard with grass, II
possible, hog tight and away from the
sows, SO he will not be worried. A
Quarter-acre,, with a good house and
shade will afford ample exercise in
the open air. When grass is not avail
able in his lot, give him cut green
stuff daily as long as it lasts. Feed
sparingly of fattening foods and sup
ply plenty to keep him in good trim
and growing if not fully developed
Mill stuff. skinned milk, clover, al
falfa anything that furnishes protein,
is advisable. OF course, supply ashes.
salt and charcoal.
This keeping the boar away fToia
the herd is more trouble than letting
him run, but it is the only way to
know just what you arc ubout in bog
raising.

but by others who are reckless to the
point of seeming to delight in taking
chances.
Many kinds of oils haye been used
for spraying insect pests, some Of
which have proved reliable and others
injurious. Kerosene oil can be used
on some plants under certain condi-
tions without causing injury, while in
other cases it will kill them. We have
seen quite a few shade trees killed
by spraying with kerosene and water
to exterminate woolly aphis; the oil
soaked into the bark, reached the
cambium and sapwood, destroying the
tissue.
Gas oil, heavy oil used in the
manufacture of water gas, is very in
furious to trees when used as spray.
A few years ago several hundred
shade trees were severely injured in
one Of the eastern cities by spraying
the trunks with this oil to kill clusters
Of gypsy moth eggs, it being used with
out any knowledge whatever of its
adaptability to this purpose.
Ordinary house paint has some
times been used on smooth-bark trees
with great injury. Y
Occasionally commercial oils used
for spraying fruit trees for the San
Jose scale cause local injury. and
some shade trees have been known to
be affected by their use.
Oils and other materials to keep
down the dust in roadbeds are now
much in use, and we have observed
some injury from this source, when
the trees were located close to the
highway and the buttresses of the
roots were exposed.
Salt used on sidewalks. in cutters
and trolley lines in winter has been
known to injure the root systems of
trees. Arsenate Of soda, potassium
cyanide and other chemicals are ex-
tremely poisonous to trees and win
cause death.

16 acres In ten hours. we deduce that
cost of labor per acre is 80 cents.
AS against these items let us sup
pose that the farmer could hire tie

Let us endeayor to ascertain how
many acres of grain farmer should

We assume the following data:
