SUCCESS WITH COSMOS

Sow cosmos early if you wish to get any satisfaction out of it. Push it along as fast as you can. It does not transplant readily, therefore grow it in pots. Shift 1t along until it is grow ing in nine-inch pots. Then sink the pot in a border and from the time the plants are six inches high until the end of July the shoots should be pinched out. This will keep the plants low and stocky. Long after severe frosts your cosmos will be giving you your beautiful flowers for the window.

PROPAGATING BY CUTTING
By w. R. GILBERT.

Where thousands of plants are grown .or positions in the open air dur ng the summer, this is an important operation from March onward. Con- siderable forethought and knowledge )f the work are necessary to obtain the plants in suitable condition and in suf- ficient numbers, when the time for planting out arrives.
 Although decried by some, the scar ret geranium still has hosts of admir- ITS, especially since the introduction of the variety-Paul Crampel.
 Cuttings of the varieties of which he numbers are short can be inserted now. These may be obtained from the old plants lifted from the beds in the autumn, or few tops may be taken off the strongest of the young plants. Inserted in light, sandy soil they will soon root on shelf in a warm house. Cuttings of iresine, coleus, ageratum, heliotrope, verbena, fuchsia, flbrous- rooted begonia, etc., when required in quantity should be inserted in a bed of sand made up in a propagating frame with bottom heat.

ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the pre- vious days accumulation of toxins and poisons; thus, cleansing, sweetening, and freshening the entire alimentary canal, each morning, before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make any rheumatic or lumbago sufferer an en- thusiast on the morning inside bath.
 Millions of people keep their joints free from these rheumatic acids by practicing this daily internal sanita- tion. A glass of hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate, drank before breakfast, is wonderfully invig- orating; besides, it Is an excellent health measure because it cleanses the alimentary organs of all the waste, gases and sour lamentations, making one look and feel clean, sweet and fresh all day.
 Those who try this for one weak may find themselves free from sick headaches, constipation, bilious at tacks, sallowness, nasty breath and stomach acidity.

DA1PY NOTES
 1.=1@'

Fresh air for COWS, but no exposure to bad weather.
 Corn silage, in the frozen stage, should not be fed to dairy cows
 The greatest contamination of the milk flow occurs at the time of milk ing.
 Milking the COW clean will develop her udder and help to increase her milk capacity.
 It never pays to kill the heifer calves from the best COWS. Raise them to re- place the poor COWS.
 Milk must be promptly cooled and kept cold. The growth of germs is checked by cold.
 Too much cannot be said about the way in which cows are treated in the stable. Kindness must prevail.
 Frequent attention to distribution of the cows bedding Is just as important as to supply large amount of 1t.

BUTTER ALWAYS IN DEMAND
No Reason Why Farmer Should Not Compete With Creameries-Some
 Business Ability Needed.

There is plenty of room today for the private dairyman who wants to market his cream in the form of but ter. Because the creameries have nearly monopolized the retail city trade is no reason why butter made on the farm should not compete suc- cessfully with the best of the cream cry butter. This class of butter, which is made from but one herd of well-bred cows and from separated sweet milk, should form one of the most delicious articles of food, and can always command fancy prices when it reaches the right people. It requires some business ability to work up select trade for any home prod uct, yet it is not at all difficult to create demand for a certain brand of butter among those who know a good article when they see or taste 1t, and are willing to pay a little extra for what suits them.

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

Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work to perform day af- ter day, have found better capacity and greater endurance by using Pos tum instead of coffee. An Illinois woman writes:

 The first noticeable benefit which followed the change from coffee to Postum was the improved action of the kidneys and bowels In two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steadier.
 Then l became less Respondent, and the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength.

Instead of Dosing Delicate Little Stom- achs They Recommend the External
 Treatment - Vap-O-Rub.

Mrs. M. J. Porter, and Mrs. J. Jacques, of Bolivar, Mo-. and Mrs. M. E. Ferrel, on Rural Route No. 2, like all
 intelligent mothers, believe internal medicines are bad for children, and
 yet cold troubles must have some kind of treatment. When Vick's Vap-ORub was introduced here from the South last season these ladies found it filled the need exactly. Vap-O-Rub is a salve, which, when applied to the warmth of the body, is vaporized by the body heat. These vapors. inhaled
 with each breath, carry the medication through the air passages to the lungs, and. in addition, Vick's is absorbed through the skin, relieving the tight ness and soreness. This two fold action makes Vap-O-Rub useful for a wide variety of infiammations-from intiammations of the air passages and lungs, such as head colds, catarrh, asthmatic troubles, bronchitis and deep chest colds-down to inflamma. t!ons of the skin and tissues, such as

of sand will be sufficient and if this is made firm, well supplied with water and bottom heat of 75 to 80 degrees maintained, many of the cuttings will be rooted in week and ready for potting up singly in small pots.
 Remaining in the sand such a short time, they can be dibbled in close to- gether
 Lobelias, altermantheras, and me. sembryanthemums can also be in creased by the thousands in this way.
 Provided there is good stock of old plants on hand, March is soon enough to commence propagating.
 Early in February dahlia tubers, of which large stock is required, may be brought into the propagating house. Placed on the stage, partly burying the tubers in leaf mold, plenty of shoots will soon push out. When these are about three inches in length they should be taken off with slight heel and if inserted in a sand bed they will soon root.
 Another method successfully adapt ed for roofing dahlias, is to make up a hotbed a yard in height, place a frame on this and plunge the pots of cuttings where there is nice bot tom heat.
 A list of the quantities of plants required should be made and the num- bers entered as they are rooted. This may have much trouble when the time comes for planting out.

RIBBON BEDS.

Good effects can be worked out in ribbon beds, by using different varie- ties of verbena in rows. To make an effective design, however, it will be necessary to purchase plants of each color from your florist as seedlings are quite sure to bring plants of all colors common to the verbena family and therefore spoil the color effect which is the prime motive of such a bed.

BACKACHE, LUMBACO

Uric acid causes backache, pains here and there, rheumatism. gout. gravel. neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who discovered a new agent, called "Anuric," which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system. "An- uric" is 37 times more potent than Iithia, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheu. matism or gout, or many other dis. eases which are dependent on uric acid within the body.
 If you feel that tired, worn-out feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your sleep is disturbed by too frequent urf. nation, go to your best drug store and ask for Doctor Pierce's Anuric Tab lets, full treatment soc, or send 10 cents for a trial package of "Anuric" Tablets to pr.
