Why I Believe
 in Nuxated Iron
As . Tonie, Strength and Blood Builder

Probably no remedy has ever met with such phenomenal success as has Nuxated Iron. It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are tax highly endorsed and used by Former United States Senators and Members of Congress, Physicians who have been connected with wellknown hospitals have prescribed and recommended it; Monseigneur Nannini' s prominent Clergyman, recommends it to all. Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. Kerr, of Chicago, says it ought to be used in every hospital and prescribed by every physician,
 pr. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon ef the City of Chicago, and former cl: House says Nuxated Iron has proven through his own tests of it to excel any preparation he has ever used for creating red blood, build ing up the nerves, strengthening thes mus eles and correcting digesstiy,,s: s,,: disorders.
 physician I of Bellevue Hospital (oatdoor dep't) New York, aud the Westchester County Hospital says there are thousands of men and women who need strength and blood builder but do not know what to take. organic iron-Nuxated Iron-for enriching the blood and helping to increase the strength and endurance of men and women who burn up too rapidly their nervous en- ergy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day.
 If you are. not strong or well, you owe t to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far iyou can walk without becoming tired. Next take two hve-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for, two weeks Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. W

PLANT POTATOES FOR HOME USE
Home Gardners May Produce Enouqh for Five Persons During a Winter from Small Plot.

It isn't too late the first half of June to plant late potatoes in all section of the United States, says, Specialists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, who are rec ommending that all available space in gardens be used for this crop to safe guard home supplies and to reduce transportation.
 Their recommendation is made de- spite the fact that potatoes require more space than most garden crops, and should not be planted in small gardens to the exclusion of other vegetables. One bushel of seed pota- toes will plant one-tenth of an acre or a plot A by 100 feet and will pro- duce enough potatoes for the use of a family of five during the winter At present there is a surplus of old potatoes on the market and sufficient seed can be obtained at reasonable prices. It is suggested therefore that seed be used more IfberaI1y than last year. and that F to 15 bushels of seed be used per acre.
 It is also urged that city authorities and managers of large corporations arrange for the use of unoccupied land and have it plowed, prepared and as- signed for potato growing. It is sug- gested that they could purchase seed in large quantities and furnish it tc the growers at price just enough above cost to cover handling ana
 shrinkage. Where fertilizers ar, needed they can be secured in th, same manner.

time.
 These beetles are only about one quarter of an inch in length, one-half of which is beak. They winter over as adults in rubbish around the base of the tree and thrive in overgrown. crowded, unpruned and unculdvated orchards. They begin to feed on the young apples when they are as large as small peas, and very shortly after the beetles lay eggs in the young by puncturing the skin. The pune ture is commonly half moor. shape, well known to many.
 The growth of the apple is stopped around the punctufe, the surrounding tissue hardens and knotty deform- ity results. The pest is controlled to some extent by the ca1yx or the codlin moth spray. $- Clean cultural methods of orchard ing can be a very large factor in the destruction of this insect. Rake up and destroy the small apples that drop. Jar the tree agd collect the insects that fall. Cults l vate around the tree and allow ths sunshine and warm air to kill the young insects. sss Remember that work along ;thess lines this summer and fall is the in,
 surance you have for better frui

CUT HAY EARLY AND SAVE
 MONEY.
One Way of Improving Quality of
 Next Winters Feed.

The opportunity to increase the feeding value of hay by cutting it at the proper state of maturity is a very important matter and should not be overlooked. Actual tests have shown that hay which had been cut late and improperly cured decreased almost 50 per cent in value With the very high prices of all feed stuffs every farmer must this year plan to get as good quality homegrown feed as possible Early instead of late cut hay is one way of increasing the quality of next winters feed.
 All hay, especially timothy, has a higher feeding value if cut before ma turity. For dairy cows this is point worth considering. If timothy hay must be used for dairy cattle, cut it in full bloom, or even a trif1e before. Never wait until the heads have ripened and turned brown. Mature hay is less palatable, less nutritious and too woody"
 The calendar is no indicator of when hay should be cut. If it were. June 18th would often be a more correct date than July 4th, which seems to be the custom of many farmers.
 Weather is a great factor in hay making, but many fields are left toe long because having was started toe late. AS rule the weather is more favorable from June 10th to July 2Ott than in August and hay cut early is best not only because better cured bur because it is more palatable and more nutritious. Because the hay was GU, one season when continued we weather followed is not sufhcien' reason for believing that the mex season will be the same. It is tn, uncommon occurrences which we seen to remember best and not the orii. nary. Although the farmer has nj control over the weather, there ar daily and weekly forecasts availabl, with a fair degree of accuracy an, mush more reliable than the judgmen of the individual.
 1 The first essential to securing tn greatest amount of food value in tn
Norwich bulletin., 1918-06-12

hay is to cut the grasses and clovers at the proper stage of maturity. Cut ting grasses when in full bloom shCuad be avoided in all cases. The best results are obtained when grass ts cut just as t is beginning to bloom. Cutting timothy at this stage of ma tnz&ty make a considerably better quality hay than when cut in full bloom or after blooming when it is moro woody and less palatable for feeding dairy stock.
 Clover, orchard grass and Kentucky blue grass are the first to cut. Late cut orchard grass is little better than Gt1aw, and no second growth is made -cut it early! Timothy and redtop mature little later but never ought to be left until the heads have gone to seed. For market hay timothy yields a little more if cut just after blooming, but for home consumption the higher feeding value of early cut timothy more than offsets the differ ence in yield. Cut it early for cows!
 To obtain the highest feeding value in clover hay it should be cut when in full bloom. If cut later, many of the leaves are lost in handling. The leaves contain the largest amount of protein in the plant.
 The analysis of early and late cut nay crops SHOWS that III the case Ol timothy, 100 pounds of hay cut early
 (before full bloom) contains 51 pounds of total nutrient, while timothy hay cut nearly ripe contains only 45.4
 pounds of total nutrient. In oSher words. the man who allows his timothy to become over ripe loses approxima- tely 53s pounds of digestible nutrient in every hundred pounds. which means loss of over 100 pounds of digestible
 matter per ton. In the case of Ken lucky Blue Grass hay. this loss is about 135 pounds per ton. Clover hay which is cut in bloom, contains more than 80 pounds more digestible nu- trient per ton than clover cut after
 blooming. Alfalfa hay contains about
 100 pounds more digestible matter per
 ton when cut just before bloom than is the case when it is cut after the seed forms.
 The feeder of live stock, who is pay l ing present prices for nutrients in the feeds he buys cannot afford to over look this opportunity to add several l hundred pounds of digestible matter l to his home grown feed. Look these l figures over carefully and ask your
 self whether or not you can afford to
 allow your hay to become over ripe
