BUILT A MONUMENT
The Best Sort in the World.

"a monument built by and from
Postum" is the way an Illinois man
describes himself. He says:
For years l was a coffee drinker
until at last / became a terrible suf-
ferer from dyspepsia, constipation,
headaches and Indigestion.
THE different kinds of medicine
tried did not cure me, and finally some
one told me to leave off coffee and
take up Postum. l was fortunate in
having the Postum made strictly ac-
cording to directions on the pkg, so
that from the start l liked it.
Gradually my condition changed.
The old troubles disappeared and
began to feel well again. My appetite
became good and 1 could digest food.
Now / am restored to strength and
health, can sleep sound all night and
awake with fresh and rested body.
81 am really a monument built by
Postum, for l was physical wreck,
distressed in body and mind, and am
now a strong, healthy man. l know
exactly what made the change; it was
leaving off coffee and using Postum"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

Postum comes in two forms:
Postum CereaI-the original form

GREAT MISTAKE TO
SELL A BROOD sow
Keep Her as Long as She Re-
mains Healthy and Vigorous
Keep Pen Free of Dust.

1t is a great mistake to sell the
brood SOW just because she is two or
three years old. Keep her as long
as she remains vigorous.
When the hogs are confined keep
the floors of the pen as free from dust
as possible. Hogs lie with their
noses close to the floor and In this
way inhale more dust than any other
farm animal.
Ap excellent bedding for hogs is
marsh hay or pulp from the sugar
cane mill. This gives out very little
dust
Some farmers seem not to have
learned the very essential fact that
hogs are natural grazers and should
always have plenty of grass. A
field of rye makes the best spring
pasture for the hogs.
Hog-breeding for a purs-bred mar.
ket is ticklish job, and requires a
great deal of experience. The aver.
age farmer will do we'll to stick to the
pork grades.
Naturally a SOW nursing q big litter
of pigs loses fat rapidly and should
be fed plentifully on nutritious milk
giving feeds.

POULTRYMAN MUST
STUDY HIS FLOCK
lust as Much Business Sense Re-
quired With Poultry as Any
Other Farm Work.

At the high prices of corn and grain
now prevailing, the chicken raiser
must study every point of the game in
order to make profit. Better reduce
the number of the flock and feed well
those that are left than to try to man
age large flock on scant rations.
1t is a fact that good fat hen will
lay better than lean one.
What a mistake 1t is to feed lot
of cockerels all winter. They should
be sold off and with part of the money
a new, vigorous well-bred cock bought
for the spring.
There is just as much business
sense required in the management of
poultry as in any other branch of
farming, but not many farmers seem
to have discovered this fact
Sell off all turkey gobblers this fall
and buy new ones for breeding next
spring.

WAS DOUBLING UP ON LIFE
Small Girls Unfortunate Remem-
brance of Mothers Remark
Caused Embarrassment.

Col. George Harvey said at a ban
Quet in his honor in New York:
We editors like criticism, espe-
cially when it is of the very favorable
kind that I've received this evening.
But not all criticism is favorable.
even for the most successful editors.
A good many editors, in fact, often
find themselves in the position of the
rich old broker whose little grand
niece said:
Uncle, how long do people liver
THE natural span of mans life,
the uncle answered, is as the Good
Book tells US. three score years and

oh, then you'll live to be one hun
dred and forty. won't you, uncle?'
The old man looked around the
room crowded with relatives and
laughed heartily.
Why, no, he said. Why, no. How
do you make that out?'
Isn't it true, then,' said the little
girl-isn't it true what mamma says

MEDIUM CLAY SOIL
BEST FOR ALFALFA
Good Plan to Have 1t Follow
Some WeII-CIItivated Crop
Like Corn or Potatoes.

1t is best to have alfalfa follow some
well-cultivated crop like corn, pota-
toes, tobacco or sugar beets where the
soil is freed of weed growth. Never put
alfalfa on sod land, for the blue grass
will cause difficulty. A virgin soil
should always be first subdued by
growing several cultivated crops to se'
the soil in good physical condition.
Poor land should always be well
manured. A medium clay loan is best
On heavy clays winter-killing is more
apt to occur. Light sandy soils gen.
orally require lime and manure. Al
falfa does well on river bottom lands.
but peat soils are too sour or acid.

PROPER FENCE FOR

Most sheep raisers use fence con-

II thirty-inch woven wire is used,
It should have at least one barbed
