PL0W WHEAT GROUND EARLY
Buries Hessian Fly and Gives Soil
Time to Become Moist and Com
pact Underneath.

Early blowing of wheat is beneficial
in more ways than one Not only does
it bury the Hessian fly, but it also
gives time for the plowed soil to be-
come moist and compact underneath.
Such condition of the soil is difficult
to secure if blowing is put off until
September. Keeping down the weeds
also conserves soil moisture and plant
foods. From five to seven hundred
tons of water are necessary to pro-
duce ton of dry weeds and moist of
this may be saved for the wheat crop.
Plant food is made available more
rapidly when early blowing is prac.
ticed, due to the better air circulation.
If the weeds are kept down, this food
is stored up and ready to give the
wheat quick, vigorous start when
seeding time comes. If, on the other
hand, the weeds are allowed to grow,
they will draw heavily on this plant
food and While they will eventually die
and decay, restoring it to the soil, the
wheat will not do well, for if the
wheat crop waits until the weeds de-
cay, the danger from winterkilling
will be greatly increased This differ
ence in growth may make the differ
ence between winterkilling and good
spring condition.

TIME FOR CUTTING ALFALFA
Crop Should Be Allowed to Grow
Slightly Longer for Horses Than
Other Live Stock.

For all classes of animals except
horses, alfalfa should be cut for hay
when the new shoots or stems begin
to appear at the crown. These are
easily seen just as they come up
among the old stems at about the be-
ginning of blossoming time. Gut
ting earlier than this is not desirable
or profitable, since the yield will be
smaller and the hay will be more diff
ficult to cure. 1t should not be al
lowed to get much beyond this stage
for two reasons: O Although a
somewhat heavier first cutting of hay
can be secured by allowing it to stand
longer than the time recommended,
the hay is neither as palatable, nor as
nutritious. (2) Leaving the first crop
after it is at the proper stage to cut
delays and reduces the second crop,
since the new shoots coming from the
crown are cut off with the first crop.
When alfalfa is to be fed to horses, it
may be allowed to grow slightly
longer than when it is TO be fed to
cattle, but it should never be left I'M
til the second crop is injured in cut
ting the first crop.

RAISING LETTUCE IN AUTUMN
Crop Can Be Grown in Ordinary Gar
den in Fall, and II Is Excellent
for Table Use.

Many persons seem to have the idea
that fine lettuce cannot be grown in an
ordinary garden, except in early spring
and summer, but this is a mistake,
Lettuce can be grown successfully in
autumn and it is excellent for table
use.
Select a rather moist SPOT, or one
that is partly shaded at the noon hour
from the Scorching sun, and make the
soil rich and light Sow the seed rath-
err thinly during the latter part of Au-
gust or September. and unless the
weather is very hot and dry, you can
raise a fine crop of the best of lettuce.
Seed sown as late as October will
produce fine lettuce if the season is
open and freezing weather does not set
in until late in December.
Some of the harder varieties OF
head lettuce will stand considerable
cold weather, and can be grown in au-
tumn and cut during mild spells in
midwinter and very early spring.

4 recipe given by a famous ply
kician for long life was: Keep the
kidneys in good order! Try to elimi-
nate through the skin and intestines
the poisons that otherwise clog the kid
neys. Avoid eating meat as much as
possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol,
tea. Drink plenty of water.
For those past middle life. for those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is
a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your
druggist does not keep it send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is thirty-seven times
more potent than lithia and that it dis
solves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

What a joy it is to be brought into
contact with women whose very pres
ence radiates sunshine and gladness,
on whose lips there is an every-ready
laugh and gracious word, and how
heartbreaking it is to remain five min
utes in the society of the woman who
is always endeavoring to load the story
of her woes upon you and insists upon
presenting to you the seamy side of
life and its shadows.
The woman with glad heart may be
plain of face even to LONELINESS, but
that is quickly forgotten in the music
of her voice, her cheerfulness and
charm of personality. The complain
ing woman, she of the imaginary sor-
rows, may be as beautiful as a houri,
but even those who try their best to
love her will find more contentment
in her absence than in her presence.
This hugging of sorrow to ones
bosom can become mania with per-
son unless it is stamped out deter
minedly in the beginning. Home train
ing in early youth has much to do
with the grave habit. The girl who
from childhood up is made to smile
each time a disconnected thought
crosses her mind, smile each time she
addresses q member of the family or q
friend, will unconSciously imbibe the
spirit of happiness. 1t will come
natural for her to smile in after years.
A happy disposition and smiling
face are a woman's best assets. With
them she can have the world at her
feet. The child who frowns is prone
to diScontentment. giving up courage
under imaginary difficulties and sOr-
rows, gives timely warning to those
about her that she will have a hard
road to travel in her future. Those
who love her and have her interest at
heart should lose no time in endeav-
Oring to eradicate her gloomy outlook
on life. Their reward for every IA
vor rendered her should be a smile.
This should be insisted upon with I'M
Tagging patience and kindness.
Gloomy subjects should not be toler-
ated or discussed with her.
Much attention should be paid to
the choice of gloomy girls compan-
ions, the furnishings and hangings of
the room she has for her very own,
and her clothes should not be somber
On the contrary, they should be light,
airy and beautiful to the eye.
Husbands should not encourage a
wife to have dreary forebodings, but
should take pains to laugh them
heartily away. 1t is hard enough to
them. 1t is shame to give imaginary
sorrows brain room. Make your heart
light by smiling them away.
