Now, Thanks to Tanlac,

AFTER one neighbor had told me
what Tanlac had done for him, and
numerous others added their praise, /
began taking your preparation" said
Edward Lang, well-known farmer Of
Dutch Neck, N. j., in a recent inter
view with the Tan1ac man in Trenton.

medicine and the results are most salts
factory. suffered for five or six years
with Indigestion and kidney trouble l
needed nourishment, but found that
heavy food would not digest, but caused
distress and constipation.
This past winter contracted grippe
and couldn't throw off its after-effects.
My bones and muscles ached. I became
nervous and irritable and seldom secured
full nights sleep. Tan1ac slowly but
surely corrected my trouble and am
now free from the old aches and pains.
I can eat most anything without the
least discomfort and my appetite is fine.
Thanks to Tanlac, 1 am in prime

to add my testimony to that of my
neighbors. I sleep like babe at night
and my nerves are as strong and steady

Oats Not a Hoo Eaad.

Hogs fed ration consisting of oats
and tankage made slower gains and re-
quired more feed per pound of gain
than those given corn and tankage in
feeding tests at the Ohio experiment
station. The use of oats is profitable
only when the grain is much lower in
price than corn.
One lot fed nine parts of corn to one
OF tankage gained one and three
fourths pounds a day and ate 43O
pounds of feed for 100 pounds Of gain,
while another lot fed oats and tankage
In the same proportion gained only
pound apiece daily and required 571
pounds of feed for 100 pounds gain.
Representative hogs of the two lots
dressed S0.3 and 76.1 per cent, respec-
lively, which alone, if the corn fed hogs
were worth $40 per 100 pounds of live
weight, would give the oats fed hogs
value of only $9.4S in comparison.
The pork from the corn fed hog con-
tanned a larger amount of fat than that
from the oats fed hog.
Because of the coarse, fibrous nature
of oats, animal husbandmen advise
against the feeding of this grain to
hogs except in small quantities and
then only when oats are cheap.

Mount Holly evidence-doubly proven.
Mrs. F. D. Smith, rs Church street,
Mount Holly, gave the following state
ment on November Ist, 1915: my back
was weak and often panied so severely
that was miserable. When I walked
M or down stairs or swept, I could
hardly bear the dull, miserable pain
across my back which resulted. My
kidneys were irregular in action and l
felt tired and ached all over. One box
of Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of the
trouble"
Statement given November Ist, 1915
NO TROUBLE SINCE
On October 2, 1916, Mrs. Smith said:
81 have never been bothered with kid
ney complaint since I last used Doan's
Kidney Pills, for the cure they gave me
has been lasting"

MEASURING HAY.
Way to Get Weight of Stack Without
Weighing.

Woi9HIn9s
Estimating the number of tons of
hay In stack by measuring is often
resorted to when it is inconvenient or
impractical to weigh it. 1t is impos-
sible to give a rule for measuring hay
which is entirely satisfactory. The
following one has often been used and
approximates the correct weight:
Width plus over, divided by A and
squared, then multiplied by the length
and, divided by 512 gives the tons.
The above rule assumes that the
cross section Of a stack may be OBJ
tanned by dividing the width plus over
measurement by four and squaring 1t.
Stacks vary so much In shape that
this cannot be absolutely true with all
stacks. The above rule also assumes
that there are 512 cubic feet in ton.
The length of time stack has been
built, the size of stack or the amount
1t has settled, also the kind of hay. all
influence the weight OF certain vol
ume of hay. The above or other rules
should not be relied upon unless it is
impossible to weigh hay when it is
sold.
Problem.-Assume. that a haystack
measures eighteen feet wide, twenty
six feet over distance from ground
on one side up over the stack and to
the ground on the other side and thir-
ty feet long.
The solution would be: Eighteen plus
26 equals A, A divided by equals
II, IL squared equals 121, 121 times
30 equals $500 cubic feet In stack, and
5000 divided by 512 equals 100 TONS

HANDY FARM HINTS.

T''t''t-'t-s-'t~+~t
Allowing animals to harvest corn
saves the labor Of cutting, hussxing
hauling to the feed lot and hauling the
manure back ON the land.
Delicious table strip can be made
from Gull and waste apples by home
methods developed by the United States
department of agriculture.
Limestone soils in general are mar
ticularly well suited to alfalfa, but
even such lands are frequently acid
and require lining to grow this crop
successfully.
While corn culture under droughty
conditions is largely a matter of tax
ing chances with seasonal conditions.
certain comfortable conditions of soil
and seed often determine the success or
failure of the crop.
Thoroughly rotted manure makes
good mulching for shrubs. It NAV be
spaded into the soil in the spring. A
thin covering over the lawn is also de-
sirable to hold the snow and work into
the soil during the spring.

Natures Wood Lot Mantle.


investigations made by the PennsvI-
vania State college foresters show that
many wood lots do not have a good
protective mantle. Nature develops a
protection against drying wind and
storms In the form of a mantle COM
posed Of the branches of long crowned
trees along the outer edges of the wood
lot. For distance of fifty to seventy
f1ve feet from the edge the wood lot
should be disturbed as little as possi-
bic and preferably not at all except to
remove dead trees and an occasional
large, oVermature tree.
While the mantle should be allowed
to develop and to remain on all sides.

SEED CORN SELECTION.

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Much may be done during the winter
months toward improving the quality
of the corn crop for the following year.
1t is particularly important to hold
over from good crops sufficient seed
corn for two or three years paintings.
This is essential in the origination
and perpetuation of high yielding vari-
cites adapted to local conditions Seed
corn that natures well and dries out
promptly without injury will keep its
good terminating and yielding power
for four or FIVE years. Seed corn of
the best quality can be always avail

able by protecting sufficient quantity
from moisture and insects and other
animals.
The need Of sources from which suit
able seed corn can be obtained is espe-
cially great in the semiarid and Rocky
mountain regions. Since this Is a
sparsely settled country, subject to ex-
IRENE seasonal variations, seed of
adapted varieties is much scarcer each
year than In sections where the corn
crop Is more certain.
Nothing else would so cheaply turn
many corn failures into successes as
the establishment of good sources of
seed corn. While knowledge Of corn
breeding would be helpful, any farmer
can do much toward supplying himself
and his neighborhood with better seed
corn by starting with well tested va
riety and selecting the best ears from
the best stalks each year. By SO doing
natural selection assists in wedding out
the unfit. Where corn is grown for
grain there is no better locality from
which to obtain seed than that in
which 1t is to be planted. Where
grown for the silo or for large stalk
growth seed may be obtained to advan-
