THE IRON HORSE IN AGRICUL-
TURE.
Oue of the most interesting as well
ab Important economic developments In
the realm of agriculture In the past
ten years has lieen the remarkable
utilization of steam and gasoline mo-
tor power !n the doing of many kiuds
of farm work. The old time horse-
power sweep was put out of business
a long time ago. More recently the
Iron horse has been called into service
to pull a gang of from six to ten
plows, to disk and harrow the land, to
liaiil heavy loads to market, to build
g<**l roads in every instance displac-
ing a large number of horses. The In-
troduction of gasoline tractors In the
•emiarid portions of the west, where
water and fuel are at a premium, has
gone on at a rapid rate, with the result
♦hat they are now tirmly established,
having proved their efficiency In vir-
tually every position in which they
have been tried, (me manufacturer,
who has been a pioneer in this line ' f
work, Is looking forward to the time
when from a half to two-thirds of the
*K rses now engaged in doing the agri-
cultural work of the country will be
displaced by oil or alcohol traction en-
gines of varying size and horsepower.
The twenty horsepower tractor eost
Ing $3,500 is hardly within reach of
the farmer of moderate means, but
should one be put on the market cost
ing half this sum, say $1,600, profita-
ble use could l)e found for It on almost
any farm 3-0 or more acres, or one
eonld be owned jointly by four or five
neighbors and used to do the work of
twelve or tifteen horses. The whole
trend of industry Is along the line of
a displacement of hand work and horse
power, and progress along the above
line would be followed with Interest.
WHAT AILS HER CHICKENS.
A lady reader of these notes living
at Buckhart, 111., writes Inquiring what
may be the matter with her chickens
Bhe states that she has a number of
chickens which stagger, fall over and
have difficulty in getting on their feet,
but which seem to be perfectly wel!
and eat as greedily as the others. She
feedH her poultry corn and oats (most-
ly the former) with melon rinds and
the parings of all kinds of vegetables
and fruits. While our correspondent
doe* not say so, it is likely that her
chickens are kept In rather close con
finement, in which case the bill of
fare given would l>e decidedly Insuf-
ficient from the standpoint of needed
nutritive elements, it being short In
protein ami animal food. That this is
quite likely the cause of the trouble
seems to be born© out by the fact that
the chickens are not sick, but have
£o«m1 appetites. When chickens run at
large they get animal and green food
In sufficient quantities, but where they
are closely confliked these elements
should be furnished them in the shape
of grass cuttings and meat scraps,
while bone forming material in the
shape of oyster shell or ground bone
should be accessible. Whether con
fined or not, it would be well to sub-
stitute wheat screenings or rye in place
of the corn, while In the former case
green food and animal food should be
provided. It Is barely possible that
the trouble referred to may have been
aggravated by the chickens' roosting
in damp and ill ventilated coops or
houses, In which case the cause should
be removed.
TREATING POST TIMBER.
The gradual advance in the price of
post timber s resulting In an Increased
Interest In methods of treating posts
which will Increase their length of
service. Some experiments have re
cently been conducted along this line
at the Iowa experiment station with
the use of creosote as a preservative.
In considerable quantities creosote,
which Is a distillate of either wood or
coal tar, may be purchased at 18 cent**
per gallon, which, counting 8.92 pounds
to the gallon, makes the cost of the
preservative about 2 cents per pound
In the experiments above referred to It
was found that white cedar posts ah
torbed In the process 4.f pounds, soft
maple 5.8 pounds, cottonwood 3.L*
pounds and green ash l.G pounds. Th!«
made the cost of treating the four dif-
ferent kinds of posts respectively 0,
11.0, 0.4 and 3.2 cents each. The estl
mated length of service of the untreat
ed white cedar was twelve years, of
the treated twenty-five years, of the
untreated soft maple three years and
of the treated fifteen years. On the
above basis it is seen that in the case
of the untreated and treated white ce-
llar posts the annual cost was respec-
tively 1.72 cents and 1.2 cents each,
while in the case of the soft maple It
was 8 cents and 1.45 cents respectively
for treated and untreated posts. The
margin of saving resulting from treat-
ing posts in the above manner would
not be large fur one post, but would be
considerable were hundreds or thou-
uuiiLi to be as*.

One hears now no more about empty
freight cars, but only the complaint-
of shippers who are having difficulty
In getting sufficient cars to carry their
produce and stock to market.
A ' !ii« f advantage of the cow which
freshens in the fall Is that she Is in
full ruilk when milk and butter fetch
a good price, while she Is usually dry
during the months of August and Sep
tember, when feed is short and shrink-
age In milk from (lies Is a likelihood.
A nature student who lives in I 111
nols Is said to have collected, labeled
and mounted 100,000 different speci-
mens of insect life. This lias been
done during a period of forty years
and gives him one of the finest pri
vate collections of Insects in the coun-
try.
Roadside weeds are not only an eye-
sore to the passerby, but if left uncut
through the winter are likely to prove
a prolific source of drifts and chucky
roads. If the weeds have not been cut
between July 15 and Aug. 15, as is re-
quired by law In a uumber of states,
they should at least be cut for the
above reason before snow flies.
A whole lot of dismal marital fail-
ures seem to be traceable to an over
looking of the fact that something be-
sides chain tables, pictures and rugs
are necessary In the building of a
home. It is the folks rather than the
furniture that are the determining
factors. Where they are white and
considerate happiness is pretty likely
to reside.
The notion Is pretty well outgrown
that a frost works any real good to a
field of immature corn in the matter
of helping to ripen it. A heavy or
killing frost means death to the leaves
and hence death to the stalks. Foi-
lowlag this, the julees In the stalk
tairn sour and thus render little or no
assistance t« the ears in the conver-
sion of the starch which they contain.
The parent who has the real welfare
of son or daughter at heart will take
pains to see that there Is as little In-
terruption as possible in the school
work at tlie beginning of the year.
While keeping the pupil from school on
almost any pretext should be discour-
aged at all times, it is especially Im-
perative that the work of the first few-
weeks after vacation should be prose-
cuted with the least possible interrup-
tion.
Every ear of corn Intended for next
year's seed should lie gathered and
hung in a well ventilated place to dry
by Oct. 15. If you are dilatory In this
matter and wait until Nov. 20 before
attending to this most Important busi-
ness, you needn't lay it off on the Lord
next spring if the seed you have saved
doesn't germinate. < ood horse sense
and Providence go hand in hand in a
good many 'nstances, but in none more
than in the matter of a selecting and
saving of seed corn.
A uumber of town boys we know
have this year spent the major part of
their summer vacation working on
nearby farms and have as a result of
their industry earned from $40 to $70
apiece. In addition to this financial
gain they have acquired a knowledge
of different kinds of farm work which
Is both practical and useful and will
come In handy at some future time
When these same boys attended the
county or state fair they had the sat-
isfaction of Knowing that they had
earned a vacation as well as that the
money they spent was their own.
Having spent the summer thus, these
boys are In a mood to take up their
school work with Interest and zest and
will get much more good out of It.
A Chicago health physician a short
time ago issued a bulletin in which
he warned (lie people of the city
against the danger of the spread of
scarlet and typhoid fever, diphtheria,
tuberculosis and other contagious dis-
eases by means of the common house
fly. lie recommends as an effective
method of exterminating this otnni
present pest a plan discovered by l>r
Dela ma re. a French army surgeon,
who has found that If one part of
forniol (also known as formalin or
formaldehyde) is mixed with nine parts
of water and put on plates which are
to be set wherever the flies are likely
to congregate they can easily be ex
terminated. The Insects seem to be
attracted by the mixture as if it were
sugar. Even the emanations of tlie
mixture are deadly to them. In one
large room In which the doctor tried
this method the number of flies killed
averaged 4,000 a day.
Following a protracted dry speP |
which has been characterized quite
generally the country over with nu-
merous forest (ires and parched pas-
tures, there will be a tendency to stuff
the young pigs with a heavy ration of
green and Immature Held corn. Betler
let them go hungry and stay thin than
make this mistake. Immature corn
may be fed. but in limited quantities,
and the ration should not l e Increased
until the food Is dry and hard. A pig'*
digestive apparatus Is Just as likely to
be upset as is (hat of the human being
who Jumps of a sudden from a diet of
pork, potatoes, soda biscuits and dried
apples to all the green cucumbers and
sweet corn he can stulT. In the latter
instance there is quite likely to lie vio-
lent disturbance. It's just so with the
pig, only that he doesn't have sense
enough to quit eating the stuff that has
upset his stomach. In which case his
owner should have sense enough to
quit placing the corn within his reach.
Feed the pigs sparingly of the new
corn. It will mean a faving of dollurs
in the end.

What is medicine for? To cure you, if sick, you say.
But one medicine will not cure every kind of sickness, because different
medicines act on different parts of the body. One medicine goes to the liver,
another to the spine, Wine of Cardui to the womanly organs. So that is why
Wine of Cardui
has proven so efficacious in most cases of womanly disease. Try it.
Mrs. V/m. Turner, of Bartonvilla, 111., writes: "I suffered for years with female diseases, and doctored
without relief. My back and head would hurt me. and 1 suffered agony with bearing-down pains. At last
1 took Wine of Cardui and now I am In good health." Sold everywhere. In $1.00 bottles.

The milk cows will do much better
during the winter months If, In addi
tion to their hay and grain, they can
be given a daily ration of beets, whkU
have a high sugar content and see in t>>

gesting and assimilating other foods.
Expressed appreciation for work
well done often furnishes as strong an
incentive to effort us the money whi h
is paid iu the shape of wages at the
end of the week or mouth, and it is a
kind of incentive that is not utilized
as much as it ought to be.
The excellence cf a man * ,7.£r
is quite often in. inverse ratio to the
measure of success w!ii h he n« hiovcs
in the business world. There is many
a captain «.f industry an I millionaire I
who would gladly the t!i '? « 'uds of
dollars to the humblest la borer in his
employ in exchange for a good dlges
tlve apparatus.
The necessity of sufficient rain for
the corn at earing time is shown from
the fact that for the production of
every pound of dry matter in stalk or
ear there must pass through the stalk
from 275 to ,'KK) pounds of water Thus
when there is a shortage of moisture
in the soil the size and weight of the
stalk and ear are likely to be reduced
In the same proportion.
A friend inquires how he can exter-
minate a patch of quack grass that
has gained a foothold in his lawn, the
patch being about 4 by 10 feet. In a
case of this kind the best as well as
the most effective method to follow
would be to cover the patch with tar
paper, covering the outer edges with
dirt as well as the edge where the two
pieces of paper lapped. Six or eight
weeks of this kind of a dose will put
the quack grass, root and branch, out
of business.

barn 40 by 50 feet and HO feet high at
the gable can be equipped with three
effective rods and the wires necessary
to ground them properly for $11.50.
Considering the fact that the insur-
ance rate on farm buildings thus pro-
tected ij> considerably less than on
those not protected and in view of the
large number of barns which are burn-
ed to tlie ground every year, with their
contents of hay, grain and live stock,
protection of property at the above cost
would not seem to be a matter <>f ex-
travagance. but one of good business
judgment, it goes without saving that
to be worth anything the job of rod-
ding a building should lie carefully and
scientifically done, but when it is so
done tiiere is as nearly complete pro-
tection from loss by lightning as can
well be.
A locality 100 miles south of where
the writer lives this year had in sight
some fifteen carloads of Wealthy and
other varieties of fall apples. A few
days before It was time to pick them
a hard wind blew through the orchards
for several hours, with the result that
two-thirds of the fruit on the trees
was precipitated to tlie ground and
rendered worthless for packing pur-
poses. in no Instance were any of
these orchards protected by a timber
belt as a windbreak. As a result the
ripening fruit was an easy prey for
the swishing winds. The importance
of a windbreak for the orchard In "lo-
calities where heavy winds are likely
to blow from a given quarter can
hardly lie overestimated. If a site
cannot be chosen for the orchard
which already has a belt of natural
timber to the windward, It is well to
set out several rows of quick growing
trees, such as eottouwoods, willows or
elms, which will furnish the needed
protection by tlie time the trees get
Into bearing. Next to hail, damage
from wind the orchard 1st has most to
fear, and against serious loss from
tills source he eau largely insure him-
self with a timber belt of the above
type. In the writer's orchard tills pro-
tection is furnished by a belt of nat-
ural timber to the south and west,
which has proved invaluable since
the orchard came Into bearing.
