BAD DREAMS Caused by Coffee.

T have been a coffee thinker, more or less, ever since l can remember. un. til a few months ago l became more and more nervous and irritable, and finally l could not sleep at night for l was horribly disturbed by dreams of all sorts and a species of distressing nightmare.
 Finally. after hearing the expert ence of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and were drinking Postum, and learning of the great benefits they had derived, concluded coffee must be the cause of my trouble. SO got some Postum and had it made strictly according to directions.
 ''I was astonished at the flavor and taste. It entirely took the place of coffee, and to my very great satisfac- ton, began to sleep peacefully and sweetly. My nerves improved. and l wish could wean every man, woman and child from the unwholesome drug. drink-coffee.
 People do not really appreciate or realize what powerful drug it is and what terrible effect it has on the hu- man system. K they did, hardly a pound Of coffee would be sold. would never think of going back to coffee again. would almost as soon think of putting my hand in a fire after ! had once been burned Yours for health"
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Regular Postum - must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
 Instant Postum-is a soluble pow der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar. makes a delicious beverage inst stiy. BOG and soc tins.
 The cost per cup of both kinds is aJout the same.
 There's Reason" for Postum.

RAISING DRY LAND POTATOES
Best Soil on Farm Should Be Selected by Those Who Desire Success
 Flow Deep as Possible.

OBy A. J. sILCoCK. oeirichs. S. D)
 The man who desires success in potato raising should select the best land on his farm for this crop. In the preparation of the soil. backsetting is best. if possible. The sod should be double disked as early as possible in the spring and narrowed after each rain as soon as dry enough to handle.
 If the weather is favorable, the po- tatoes should be planted as soon as possible after the 20th of April.
 Get good. clean, homegrown seed. free from scab. advise some early variety; the Early Ohio is good. If possible, cut the seed potato so as to have but one eye to a section. When ready to plant, blow Cat least six inches) and drop the potatoes into every fourth furrow. If furrows are narrower than l2 inches, drop seed into every fifth furrow or so that the rows are about our feet apart. Drop one piece of seed potato in a place. averaging about fifteen to twenty inches apart.
 If one desires extra fine potatoes, the ground should be plowed as deep as possible. and the potato seed GOV cred not less than six inches.
 As soon as through planting. the land should be narrowed. and harrow ing should not be neglected after rains until the potatoes are five or six inches high. Narrowing should be oh f,, lfrnaffnn nnnn.ifn a 10 the last previous narrowing. After the potatoes are up six inches, the harrow should be discarded and the cultivator used after deep rain until the plants are in bloom. The first cul- tivation should be deep, but subse- quent cultivations should be as shal- low as possible to give results-that is. kill the weeds and keep the mulch. Cultiyations of the ripening plant should not be so close to the plant as in early growth.
 The cultivator will always leave some weeds near the plants. These should be cut out carefully, but the land should never be "hilled up." as the plants do much better with leveied land.
 Potatoes can be produced on sod land if dropped into the furrow of the breaking blow. provided the land is soft or sandy; but with heavy soil the land should be broken at least three inches deep and then chopped up with disk. After disking it should be plowed about five inches deep and the potatoes dropped into the furrow.

EXCESSIVE BLOWING OF SOIL
Subject of Vital importance to Many Farmers-Movins Dirt Acts Much
 Like an Auoer in Action.

It is only where there is excessive blowing of the soil that damage oc- CUTS. It is a well-known fact that if one can prevent the soil from start ing on the windward side, the prob lem has been solved. When once the wind begins to move the soil from the windward side of the field. the moving dirt acts much like an auger, working and twisting. loosening and Tightening the soil in front of it, until the wind sweeps freely through or across the field, taking the loosened soil and leaving the exposed roots to withef and die.
 The movement of soil is natural. Both wind and water serve as vehicles for the continual carrying of dirt from place to place. It would be quite i'm poss ible to prevent absolutely the movement of soils. but it is by no means an impossibility to prevent dan Rerous movement.

Take half 6 day to examine and trim up your colts feet. Many young horses are injured by letting their feet grow wild.
 Rasp the rough edges. and in case of sand or quarter cracks rasp at the fnn nf tsc crack aoep enough to stop ft, and then trim down the edges.
 Sometimes it is best to have the blacksmith put light shoe on.
 Don't neglect a sand or quarter crack that may lead to serious injury later on.
 While it may pay any farmer to buy heavy work horses 1t will pay him still better to breed them on his own farm.
 Use big draft mares for farm work and sell the geldings to swell the bank account or make substantial pay nent on the mortgage.
 The larger the geldings grow the more money they will bring. The more feed they get, as a general prop osition, the larger they grow.

 An attractive opportunity awaits farmers who undertake the production of high-class commercial mules. and 1t is certain that many farmers will grasp the opportunity within the next few years.
 Whether brood mares or seldings, it is the well-fed horse that exhibits the greatest endurance and efficiency in the harness.
 All kinds of breeding stock require good shelter-that is, dry. clean. com tortable and so constructed that there will always be an abundance of pure cir without exposing the animals to cold drafts.
 Brood sows and breeding ewes re quire plenty of room and will thrive best if separated in punches, so as 10 prevent crowding and fighting at the trough and feed racks.
 Pregnant animals should not be kept with other animals, where they will be compelled to fight their own way for a place to eat and drink, as they are more subject to injury, and violent exercise is quite apt to cause serious trouble.
 Exercise is an important essential in the winter management of all kinds of breeding animals. and the yards should be large enough so that the animals may go out and in as they please during every pleasant day.
 Many swine breeders make a prac tee of feeding their brood sows al quite a distance from their sleeping quarters, in order to induce them to exercise freely. and I have found this sn excellent plan, for many sows be come sluggish during pregnancy and will not exercise unless compelled to

Alfalfa Versus Timothy.

In one ton of alfalfa hay there are 1,0ll pounds of digestible nutrients, of which 220 pounds are digestible pro tein. In one ton of timothy hay there are 92S pounds of digestible nutrients of which 56 pounds are digestible pro tein, says Hoard's Dairyman- The nutrients in the timothy hay are fur nished a little cheaper than in the alfalfa. but the protein in the alfalfa is far cheaper than in the timothy. As a dairy feed we would consider al faifa hay cheaper at s2s per ton thar timothy at 320
