MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Work Since
Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform day at.
ter day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Pos.
tum instead of coffee. An Illinois
woman writes:
II had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart was nervous and

make from which he is SO sure to re-
ceive generous dividends as from good
roads.
A reduction in the cost of hauling
is one of the most immediate benefits
OF good road. A striking instance
of this is shown by Investigations
conducted in Virginia where the av-
erage distance from the farm to the
market is $50 miles, and the aver
age load for the staple crops is about
one ton. Assuming that the wages of
a two-horse team and driver are $500
per day. it costs the farmer in Vir-
ginia an average of 20 cents per ton
mile to market his crops. If the roads
were graded and improved with a sur
facing suitable for the particular road
and region, the load could be in
creased at least so per cent and the
round trip made in the same or less
time without any additional hardship
on the team. This would represent
a clear saving of $3.50 per day to each
farmer in the state for every day in
the year in which he was e~-agod IL

other benefit that is noticeable wher.

extricated himself with difficulty.
The man was deafened by the deto-

were several bruises on his head. He
was taken to neighboring hospital
where the following day he noticed
four islets of white hair on the fronto-
parieto-occipital region of his head.
The loss of color was complete from
the roots to the ends of the hairs, and
the white hairs were as firmly in his
scalp as their brown neighbors.

1t Is estimated that the people of
this country annually waste $3.50, 0OO,-
900 because OF bad roads. Investiga-
tons have shown that the average
cost OF hauling on roads in the United
States Ia 20 cents per ton per mile.
1t costs the farmer more to haul q
bushel OF wheat "a miles, the average
distance from farm to shipping point,
than 1t ordinarily costs to ship it
from New York to Liverpool In
France, England and Germany, consul
lar reports show instances where the
cost Of hauling agricultural products
Is as low as 10 cents per ton per
mile. II the farmers of this country
could reduce the cost of hauling to 10
cents per ton mile, they would save
about $250,00O,000 which now repre-
sents their mud tax"
The benefits of good roads are nu-
merous and far-reaching. They are
powerful factor in promoting better
farm conditions throughout the coun-
try. They make the farmer more in
dependent Of seasonal and weather
conditions and permit him to take bet
ter advantage of favorable market and

This is due partly to the decreased
cost of hauling and partly to the fact
that good road makes the farm q

S0RGHUMs TO PRODUCE MEAT
Regions by Sale Of Stock Than
All Other Sources.

In no section of the country has
permanent system of agriculture been
built without the use of live stock. A
very careful observation of the condi
tions that are prevalent in the sub
humid sections of the United States
shows that more money is brought
into those sections through the sale OF
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs than
from all other sources combined
writes w. A. Cochel in Farmers Mail
and Breeze. The experimental work
OF the argonomists and cerealists in
dicates that the grain sorghums prob
ably are the most valuable of all Of
the grain and forage crops that have
yet been tried. This also is indicated
by the practice of the better class of
farmers In the same regions who are
continually increasing the acreage de-
voted to katir, feterita, milo, sorghum
and sudan grass and at the same time
are decreasing the acreage OF corn,
oats, barley and other crops that are
especially adaptable to the more hui
mid regions.
1t is essential that the dry land
farmers as well as the farmers in 9th
er sections should realize that the
chief function of live stock is to sup
ply a market for the feeds that are
produced in the local community and
that the live stock business cannot be
separate and distinct from farming;
that the best live stock men are al
most invariably the best farmers in
the community and that the best farm
ers are as a rule men who give a con-
siderable amount of time and atten-
ton to live stock
