Assuming that you are the average
person, you will enjoy health-phys-
ical freedom and full vigor-only
from age Is to 81. This astounding
fact is shown by the United States
Life Tables, 1920.
Your earning power will decrease
rapidly after 40. That period COM
monty called "the prime Of life" will
actually be an age Of decay.
This sounds sensational. It Is SEN
sational. But it is true-and it is
something to which the wise man or
woman will give serious thought.
OF course, it is not natural, or right.
It is the direct result of an artificial
mode of life-of careless eating, sleep
lessness, and stimulated nerves. Nature
provides danger signal-fatigue-to
warn when the body needs rest. The
person who regularly deadens the
fatigue signal by the use of drug is
overriding the warning Of nature.
That is what coffee does. The
average cup of coffee contains l y to
3 grains of tho drug caffein-classified
as q poison. This is dose of caffein
Of the size often administered by ply
sicians in cases Of heart failure. It
is powerful stimulant. 1t appears to
give new strength by deadening the
fatigue signal. Actually, this new
strength is robbed from the body's
own reserve.
Coffee contains no nourishmcnt. It's
only virtues, as beverage, arc its
warmth and flavor. A good, hot, drug

Losses of Butterfat

Losses of butterfat in separat-
ing skim milk from cream on the
farm may be traced to one or
more of the following causes, nc-
cording to c. A. IversOn of the
department of dairying at Iowa
State college.
Low Speed of the Separator
Always run the separator at
least as fast as the speed which
Is given on the handle of the
machine.
Cold Milk-Mllk should be at
temperature of 90 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Dirty Bowl-The separator
must be washed every time 1t is
used, not only because of econO-
my, but also because 1t Is lmpos-
sible to produce good quality
of cream with dirty separator.
Worn Bearings-Loose disks
and other mechanical defects
often cause losses of butterfat.
The machine should be kept
clean and well oiled.

Repairing Damage
Done Shade Trees
Farmers Bulletin Outlines
Methods to Be Followed
In Mending Breaks.

tPrepared by the United States Departmen,
of Agriculture.)
Inc extensive injury and destruc.
ton Of trees of all kinds during recent
storms has brought many Inquiries to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture regarding the proper methods
to be followed In repairing the damage
done. The following suggestions are
made by the department.
The first thing that should be done Is
to remove such large broken branches
rs are now. or may become. menace
TO life and property; this Is usually
best done by cutting at the point where
broken. Attention should then be
given to Injuries on the main trunk.
II limbs have been split, or partially
split, from the main trunk, all splln.
tered wood about the wound should be
removed with sharp gouge and NAL.
let. II not so situated that It can be
sawed on. The scar should be
smoothed in the manner Indicated in
Farmers Bulletin 117S, Tree Surgery,
and treated as an open cavity, or ms
large surface wound. as the case
may necesstate.
Attention to Branches.
Attention should next be given to
repairing the Injuries on the larger
branches In similar manner, and last
OF all to the smaller branches. Some
times when limb is broken away the
tree Is so weakened at the point Of
breakage that 1t may again break in
severe wind, and to obviate this the
top must be pruned back more or less
severely. In case of split crotches,
the advice given In Farmers Bulletin
IT'S should be followed regarding the
general treatment, including boiling
through and above the crack.
In cases Of estates where great
amount of injury has occurred, and
only n comparatively small force Is
available for repairing the damage,
the final, cutting of long stubs can be
conveniently left for a time, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk.
or close to It, should be attended to
promptly, In any case before warm
weather arrives.
IL Is mol necessary ~ III CdNitits'
1t Is better in most cases to leave
them open. All final cuts should be
Immediately covered with some good
antiseptic and waterproof paint. 1t
will not be necessary to specially treat
the ends of long stubs that are to be
removed close to the trunk later In
the season.
Avoid Climbing Spurs.
In no part of repair work should
climbing spurs be used on a tree. Spur
marks cause injuries through which
II Ia possible for disease and decay
germs to enter and cause damage, In
some cases more severe than would
have developed from the original sim
ple break. For details of treatment
of all scars and wounds send for
copy of Farmers Bulletin 11TS. which
can be obtained from the office of pub
lIcations, Department of Agriculture
Washington, D. G.
Remember that prevention Is better
than cure. The open wound of today
becomes the decayed spot of next year
and the deep rotten cavity of ten years
from now. 1t Is better to spend few
days or dollars in careful repair work
now than hundreds of dollars for ex-
tenslve tree surgery in 1880.
