DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.
When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
•with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change Is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona
man says:
“For years I could not safely eat any
breakfast. I tried various kinds ‘of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for 1 found the toast
very oonstipating.
“A friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
Instead. I shall never regret taking
bis advice. I began using them three
months ago.
“The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. I now have no more
of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and I never have
headaches. I have gained 12 pounds
in weight and feel better in every way.
“Grape-Nuts make a delicious as
well as a nutritious dish, and I find
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symptoms.”
“There's a Reason.”

SCIENCE IN GROWING CORN
Requires Great Deal of Labor, but
Farmer Is Repaid by the In
creased Crop.
(By ('HAS. K. PETERSEN.)
The testing of seed corn is very im
portant this spring. / Not in many
years has the question so closely ap
pealed to the farmer as it does now.
Much of the seed corn saved in the
corn belt states for this season’s plant
ing is showing low germination and
better cultivation than ever will be
necessary to produce a big crop.
A good seed bed is the foundation
of the crop, or rather the first stone
upon the real foundation, the seed.
Presuming that the corn ground is in
proper rotation and sufficiently man
ured, it should be worked up as mel
low as a garden bed. If stalks are on
the ground tiiey should be disked both
ways, the rollers being ground sharp,
then follow with a spading disk, and
work the soil thoroughly four or five
inches deep.
It is hardly possible to spend too
much time in preparing the ground.
It should be disked three times each
way, making six workings before
planting.
When stalks are plowed under a
good plan is to harrow first then plow,
then harrow again and plant.
The harrow should follow the plow
closely and all plowed ground should
be finished every noon and night.
Another good preparation is to disk
the ground four times, using a spader
the first time and an ordinary dtek a
week later. Then harrow the land
after each double disking and plant
close after the harrow. Rowe the Il
linois man says that after several
years’ experience ne prefers disking
to plowing. Of course sod ground
must be plowed.
It is also important to use the right
kind of a corn planter—use an edge
drop planter or one that will drop the
exact number of kernels for which it
is set 95 times out of 100. It should
even do better than that, if the seed
has been carefully sorted according
to size to fit the holes in the different
plates. This is the only way to get
an even stand of corn. An even stand
from good seed is the only way to
grow a profitable crop.
Test the planter well before taking
it to the field. Do not spoil a lot of
ground and waste a lot of seed trying
to find out whether your planter is
reliable or not.
The Gipsy Brown Tail.
Every farmer should take pains to
learn to recognize at sight the various
stages of the gipsy brown tail and
many other of our insect pests, and
they should be instructed by the state
how to manage the war against them.
If farmer A keeps his orchard and
trees free from brown tails and neigh
bor g just over the fence leaves a
lot of these pests on some of his trees
that are out of the jurisdiction of the
town or state, how can farmer A
expect to get ahead in his fight
against the pest?
Concrete Fence Posts.
The United States department of
agriculture has issued an elaborate
bulletin on the subject of concrete
fence posts. This bulletin goes into
detail, giving full and minute instruc
tions which will enable the farmers
1o build their own fences with the
farm labor. By applying to the office
of public roads, United States depart
ment of agriculture, Washington, D.
C., Farmers’ Bulletin No. 403 will be
sent without charge.
Care of Garden Tools.
Rusty garden tools may be bright
ened by soaking in sour milk for 12
hours, then brushed. A coat of Wero
sine should then be applied.
Some Fertilizers Injure Celery.
It is popularly believed that certain
fertilizers influence the disease of cel
ery known as black heart, and a series
of experiments was carried on at the
Florida experiment station, in which
36 formulas of fertilizers were tested.
Plats receiving nitrate of soda and
kainit were uniformly severely at
tacked by the disease, and those plats
which received fertilizers consisting
of bone meal, fish scrap and * high
grade sulphate of potash gave best re
sults.
Fertilizers for Fruit.
Commercial fertilizers rich in pot
ash is needed for fruit trees; it
strengthens and builds up the wood and
adds flavor to the fruit. When they get
strong and vigorous apply nitrate of
soda in the early spring.
Care of New Lawn.
All new lawns should be covered
with well rotted manure or other com
mercial fertilizer late in the fall. Five
hundred pounds of the latter to the
acre Is a good proportion. Some gar
deners think that the use of stable
manure encourages weeds.
BEEHIVE MADE OF CONCRETE
Anyone With Little Ingenuity Can
Make Them —Set of Molds Will
Last Indefinitely.
Among the occupations which offer
profit and amusement, and at the
same time entirely suited to women,
is that of bee raising. Its advantages
arc that little space Is required, there
is no great expense and the work is
light, requiring only a limited amount
of time and care. Much of the ap
paratus required may be made at
home and where the facilities for this
fffff

are not present, the things may be
purchased without any great outlay of
money.
There have Deen many improve
ments lately In the manner of con
structing the beehives and probably
the most interesting is one which is
made of concrete. A patent has been
recently issued covering the manufac
ture of concrete beehives, but any
one with a little Ingenuity may easily
make them, and a set of molds once
having been made satisfactorily, may
be used indefinitely and any number
r f hives made from it. Anyone at
tempting to make a hive of this ma
terial should acquaint themselves
with the character of the cement and
should also be familiar with the habits
of bees.

near the bottom. To an eye-bolt near
the top attach a chain, letting it pass
down through the end of the rod
which should be in the shape of a
fork. The length of the chain will
determine the distance of the kettle
from the ground.
The successful farmer finds weed
ing lo do in the flocks as well as the
fields.
You can find many enunks of wood
about the farm. Save them all for
the stove.
Every weed that is killed before
going to seed makes next year's field
the cleaner.^
The farmer of today must be learned
in many things besides plowing, plant
ing and harvesting.
It will pay to keep the cultivator
going in rhubarb, late potatoes and
asparagus till growth stops.
Manure that is spread upon the
field will not waste its fertility. This
is not the case with the piles in the
barnyard.
Bees use water to dilute the heavy,
thick honey left over from winter to
make it suitable for the young larvae,
and also to make the cell wax pliable.

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE
“I began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. I went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
“I had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en
tire inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I -would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

Queer Questions.
Queer questions come over the tele

was one that the man who chanced
to answer the phone had put up to
him the other day:
“Say,” began the unknown seeker
after the truth, “do you—do you re
member who it was that killed Abel?”
"Why, Cain, of course,” replied the
newspaper man, who put In several
years at Sunday school. “Who’d ju
suppose?’’
“Well,” observed the man at the
other end In an annoyed tone, “doggon
if I ain’t gone and made a fool o’ my
self. Course it was Cain, now that
you mention It, but I made a two to
one bet with a fellow that ’twas
Goliath, and now I’ll have to go with
out anew overcoat, I reckon, this next
winter.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It is a shame for people who have
in their lives a consciousness of love
and character and courage, to fali in

about the unimportant. —Margaret De

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Ever
a Model of Behavior to the
Children.
It is hard for a young mother, who
har not yet overcome the wayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
As the mother is, so are her sons
and daughters. If a family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who is dainty and refined in her
manner, and does not consider it nec
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per
son in her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see her habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them a kind word and a pleasant
smile. For a true woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will in any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toil. The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.
