Rat Exterminator.
Some one has written on the sub-
wt of exterminating rats. I want to
fell my Plan- I talje a bunch of
matches, probably two dozen, remove
,he heads with a sharp knife. These 1

removed then I thicken this water with
corn meal. You will have no rats if
you practice this plan.—C. A. Banks,
in the Epitomist.
Farm Sanitation.
The farmer can do very much for
himself along the line of preventing
disease on his farm- among his pnl-
5 and his family, In fact far more
than professional men with drugs can
ever do. While he Is cleaning up his
barns and stock pens he should not
forget to thoroughly disinfect all
vaults and to open up the sewer drains
and the free use of carbolic acid In
water solution. Sulphate of iron and
lime applied to the place where slops
are emptied about the house, not for
getting the sink, may prevent many
cases of typhoid fever and diphtheria in
the family. Both in the dwelling and
In the barns and stables are disease
germs in filth that Is allowed by the
careless farmer to accumulate, and
he and his family suffer In conse
quence, while the doctors and patent
medicine vendors are reaping a har
vest.—Epitomist.
Soil Fertility.
Don't let the truth escape from your
observation, that soil fertility Is be
fore production. Therefore, guard
jealously the elements which secure
the harvests. There is a saying in In
diana: “Drive your grain to market,”
meaning, feed It to the stock and drive
the stock to market. There Is no better
way to maintain soil fertility, for it
secures the envied gain while accom
plishing the desired result. Crop rota
tion, if practiced systematically and
intelligently guarantees the same re
sult, but it is not believed to be as pro
ductive. There are farmers whose
laud is not adapted for stock raising;
these will of necessity follow other
means to maintain the fertility of their
soil than by feeding all farm products
to stock. In whatever way it can be
most economically accbmpllshed Is the
best way for the Individual farmer, but
the necessity of obtaining' it in some
way is dally becoming more evident.—
Farmers’ Home Journal.
Spray Cattle to Kill Flies.
Every dairyman knows that his
*>ws cannot produce so much milk if
hey have to spend half of their time
stamping and switching flies, instead
>f eating grass. Our dairy farmers
ihouhl provide themselves with some
tlnd of a sprayer and spray their cat-
le from now until flies are killed by
he cold weather. The c6st of these
ittle sprayers and the preparation
or driving the flies off, is next to noth-
ng, while the increase in market pro-
luction will more than pay for the
udra expense and trouble. Short pas-
urage will soon be coining on, so that
he cows will have to work harder in
lo their best when bothered and tor-
nented with flies. By spraying the
o" each day just before turning'them
>ut on pasture, they will be coinfort-
tble throughout the day and can eat
n peace. At the same time the milk
lu PPly will not drop off a quarter as
nodi as it otherwise would. Any good
; °al tar preparation furnishes a suit
able spray, while the cheap hand
Prayer, holding a gallon or so of fly
tiller, will soon pay for Itself in the
Pilk t hut would go to feed the flies.—

Good Plowing.
No amount of harrowing or after
Wor k can entirely overcome the effects
°f bad plowing to begin with. Plow-
* n K is the foundation of the crop to
follow. A man who can drop a
straight furrow is one v/ho keeps pret-
tJ' 'dose watch of his plow. He may
hold Ids handles loosely and appear to
he plowing very easily and perhaps
carelessly; but he is watching every
Movement of the plow and shifting the
handles slightly one way or the oth-
er "'at it may take more or less land.
The plow, of course, should do the
Plowing itself, without any necessity
for the plowman to bear down on it
"’Itli all its weight, not to raise it up
0,1 its point constantly; but never
theless plowing needs close attention.
Intelligent selection of the team which
s to plow togemer, is important. The
horses’ gaits should be even and they
B hould work well in span. It is impos
sible to do good work with one horse
walking rapidly and the other lagging
behind constantly or walking some
times in and sometimes out of the fur-
rcuv - The plow itself is another thing
t° consider. No one plow is best suit—
ecl to all kinds of land. A sharply
Clll 'ved, short high mold boaid will
throw the furrow very high and hard
and break it up; this is suitable for a
clav soil.
1 or smooth, mellow soil, or for plow
ing sod in the spring, when it is desir
ed lo turn the furrow squarely over,
a plow with a long, slightly curved
mold board is best, as it turns the fur
row smoothly upside down and breaks
the furrow the least. The Scotch
farmers want a plow which will turn
a narrower furrer than American farm
ers. If the beam of the plow is short,
bringing the horses near to the point
of resistance, the draft will be least;
hut there should be several links be
tween the beam and the whlffletree to
give the hoi ses some leeway, when step-
ping on a mound or into a depression,
so that the point of the plow will
not be jerked up or down.—American
Cultivator.
Cost of Putting Up Ensilage.
This is rather a confused question,
for the reason that so much of the
testimony is conflicting. One farmer
has good, economical appliances, is a
good organizer and manager, and he
stores his ensilage at a low cost. An
chor farmer is just opposite in condi
tion and character, and the cost is
much greater for him.
The United States Department of
Agriculture took the experience of
thirty-one farmers in this matter of
cost of filling the silo, and the re
sults are summarized by Hoards Dairy
man. Fifteen cents an hour was al-
lowd for men, the same for a team,
$4.50 a day for engine and engineer,
and 13 cents a gallon for gasoline was
allowed. The cost of binding twine
was 111-2 cents a pound, and the coal
for a steam engine was reckoned at
$5 a ton. Ten hours was reckoned a
day’s work.
From this basis oi reckoning the cost
per ton of storing ensilage ran from
eighty-six to forty-six cents. The aver
age yield per acre was 9.1 tons and the
average cost per tor. was sixty-four
cents. The returns showed that the
average amount of silage put up per
man was 4.9 tons. The cost of cutting
the corn and putting it into the silo
was $5.98 per acre. Probably this Is as
good a general basts of figuring «s
can be obtained, but one can see what
a difference in the cost of forty cents
a ton affords a rich field for study. Of
course, it is the difference in the make
up of the man that does it. Every
thing connected with farm work shows
about the same difference. The cow
census report show us one man mak
ing milk at a few cent§ above the cost
of food and another with a margin of
$2 for every dollar’s worth of feed.
Then another would come out with a
loss. It is this wide difference in man
agement, cost of product and final
profit, that constitutes such a constant
stimulus to the teacher and agricul
tural paper to get men to see how they
can perfect themselves in knowldge
and method to their great profit.—Am
erican Cultivator.
Farm Notes.
Only keep as many hens as you cau
care for.
A well kept flock of fowls is n neces
sary adjunct to a country home.
Put a few camphor balls under the
sitting hen to drive away the lice.
Ducks require a dry place to roost in,
even though they do love the water
in the day.
Watch the horse's hoofs. An ounce
of blacksniithing' is worth a pound of
veterinarying.
When mating your birds use only
strong, healthy ones. You can’t get
out more than you put in.
A pint of kerosene in a gallon of
whitewash makes a very good insecti
cide. Lice do not live long in kero
sene.
Change pastures as often as possi
ble, especially with sheep, as they are
apt to become contaminated with dis
ease.
When a mare wjth a colt has to be
worked it is the best plan to keep the
colt at the barn while she is in the
field.
A thorn bush is a mean thing to
grub, cut up and pile, but there is a
deep feeling of satisfaction when it is
done.
A good ointment to use for scaly leg
is made of lard, kerosene and a little
sulphur. Apply often and rub the
legs well, getting as much under the
scales as possible.
What Was Lacking.
A man who had served two terms In
Congress was making a campaign for
a third term. In the course of a
speech in the town hall at Broomcorn
Junction, a village near the further
boundary of his district, he "It
Is true, fellow-citizens, that I W c, not
always been able to do as much as I
shouid like to do in the matter of in
ternal improvements in this district,
but I have never lost sight of your
interests for a single moment. You
have no idea of the obstacles that lie
in the way of a congressman who tries
to secure appropriations for public
buildings, the improvement of naviga
ble streams, and the like for the bene
fit of his constituents, but I want to
assure you, fellow-citizens, that I have
labored constantly in your behalf to
the very best of my ability.”
“We know it!” shouted an cld far
mer in the audience. “That’s why we
want an abler mar..”—Youth’s Compan
ion.
The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with'its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
8afety of Traveler*.
As an Instance of the Great Eastern
Railway's elaborate precautions for
the safety of travelers on Its system,
the Railway News says that at Brox-
bourne, for the purpose of advising
the station signalman when a train
has passed his down or up advanced
starting signal, a rail contact is plac
ed about 300 yards ahead of the re
spective advanced starting signals,
and on the engine reaching the rail
contact a bell is rung in the Rignal
box, and this bell continues ringing
until the signal Is replaced to danger,

Aid Nature
To Cure Female Troubles
[After all, nature is the best doctor. When we
try to get rid of disease, by methods contrary to hers,
we come to grief.
The best way to cure female troubles, female
pains, irregularities, falling feelings, headache, back
ache, etc., is to help nature to do it, by taking Cardui,
the natural plant extract, made from ingredients
with a natural curative action on the female organs.
Mrs. H. A. Harper, of Flanagan, 111., writes: “I
suffered miserably, for a year, with bearing-down
E ains, which got so bad I could
ardly walk and laid in bed most of
the time. I was also irregular and
had the headache. Finally I began to
take Cardui, and found it to do all
that you recommend it for. Now I
am better, don’t have the headache
like I used to, and am a different per
son.” Try Cardui. Sold everywhere.
