Balloons and an AirpIane.

Writing of the passing of an Avro
biplane over Uitenhage en- route to
Port Elizabeth. a South African news
paper has the following to say: "Mr.
Norman Chase relates a peculiar expe-
rience he had In connection with the
plane. He was bathing at Kamaehs,
when he noticed a number of balloons
which were in the vicinity showing I'M
mistakable signs of fear. They crowd
ed together and whimpered. giving
every indication that something
unusual had disturbed them. Mr..
Chase's dog, a well-trained Airedale,
and known to be plucky and fearless,
also became uneasy, and appeared to be
In dread of something. On looking
round for the cause of. all the trouble,
Mr.. Chase observed the airplane flying
overhead at a comparatively low al
titude. The sound of the engine and
the hinge birdlike appearance of the
plane no doubt upset the equilibrium

II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It Is that so many products that are ex-
tensfvely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plafn-the article did not fulfill
she promises of the manufacturer. This
appEes more particularly to q medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
a endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, Q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it ful6lls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; c~orrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Danger in Improper Cooking.

In the italian experiments indicat-

or at least not cooked enough to de-
stroy bacteria, a large joint of corned
beef that had been boiled three and
a half hours showed a temperature In
the center Of less than 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. This is harmless to most
disease germs, including tubercle ba-
GILL, with which beef is believed to
be especially liable to be infected. A

COULD DOUBLE CORN YIELDS
Desirable to Produce Enough to Meet
All Demands IN a Smaller Num-
Der of Acres.

Corn yields per acre In the United
States could be doubled within a few
years, and this could be accomplished
without increase in work or expense.
1t Is not to be understood that 1t is
desirable to double the present corn
crop, but that it is desirable to pro-
duce enough to meet all needs on a
smaller number Of acres and with less
labor, says the United States departs
ment Of agriculture. If go bushels are
raised on one acre instead of on two
acres, the labor Of blowing, narrowing,
planting, c%ultivating, and harvesting is
greatly reduced.

all the fiber necessary for the present
needs have already been imported to
the United States.
Although there Is no danger for
this years Irvine supply, officials Of
the department. Of agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the effect
that the low prices for fiber prevailing
now will have upon the production
Of henequen during the next few years.
Low prices, according to reports to
the department, are leading the grow.
ers in Yueatan to reduce their plant
ing, with the result that a real short.
age of the fiber five or six years hence
is a very likely possibility.
The labor outlook Is not 80 cheer

is about u per cent Of the normal.
Although no appropriation was made
by congress this year for carrying on
the department Of agricnlture's war
time activities In aiding the farmers
to get laborers, the department is do
ing what 1t a to assist farmers with
this problem. The state directors Of

though, that the labor shortage there

Labor and binder twine.
Oh the eve Of the harvesting sea-
son the wheat-growers' thoughts turn
to these two necessary items, particu-
larry the former, which caused him
much worry during the years Of the
war. OF course, labor is the chief
problem, but binder Irvine is some
thing that must be reckoned with as
well, and In its WI way is a very
important feature in the harvesting
operations.
(, The wheat-grower need have no ap-
%prehension as to the supply Of binder
Irvine this season. Reports coming to
the bdreau Of plant industry indicate
that there will be a plentiful supply
Of this commodity available for the

be plentiful, but 1t is likely to be

ECONOMICAL METHOD
IN THRASHlNG WHEAT
Task Should Be Performed d.
rectIy From Shock.
Grain That 10 Handled When Damp
VIII Sweat Too Much and Be-
come Hot and Burned-Commu-
nifty Plan Most Desirable.

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method is to
thrash directly from the shock. Thrash
when the grain is dry, either before or
after 1t has gone through the sweat.
II the grain is too dry, 1t will crack in
thrashing.
Wheat thrashed before sweating In
the shock will go through the sweat in
the bins, giving the grain a darker
and richer color. Grain that is thrashed
when damp will sweat too much and
become hot and bin burnt. When grain
is stacked It should be allowed to 60
through the sweat before thrashing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not, large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash
ing done more rapidly and econom-
ically where a group of farmers can
W and operate a thrashing outfit to-
gether.
See that the separator IL well
cleaned before the thrashing is started,
in order to prevent the mixture Of
grain and the scattering Of weed seed
from the neighboring farms.
Watch carefully the working Of the
machine to see that the grain ia en-
tirely removed from the straw and that

Stack the straw, use It as feed or
bedding for live stock. and SO con-
