Consult with your help.
Nearly every one can grow phlox.
Good, clean runs are a delight to
the hens.
A good cow Is seldom sold, except
it a high price.
Are you troubled with crows about
rour chicken yards?
Feed very little soft feed and you
will raise more chicks.
Clover can be grown more cheaply
than timothy or fodder corn.
Bran and meat meal help to supply
the young sows with muscle and bone.
By putting a little fine hay in the
calf's mouth dally she will soon learn
to eat
Parsley is next to lettuce In winter
marketing—both profitable—when well
frown.
One of the most important problems
of the farmer Is to feed bis animals
•conomically.
Borrowing tools, and sending them
homo dull or rusty, doesn't make the
other fellow grin.
Young,as well as old orchards should
be plowed in the fall, and thoroughly
harrowed In the spring.
Celery seed should be sown In a
lhallow drill and covered with Just a
light sprinkling of fine earth.
Don't cultivate the potatoes when
out in bloom, or coming out, unless
you want a lot of stunted little tubers.
If there are signs of worms in your
hogs, feed concentrated lye, one-half
teaspoonful to each animal well mixed
In slop or soft feed.
If sweet butter is to be made which
will command the highest market
price, cleanliness must begin In the
(table where the milking is done.
Go over the young apple trees and
cut off every water sprout with a
llharp knife close to the trunk. Do
It early and they will heal this season.
The proper time to set out fruit
and deciduous trees Is the latter part
of October and the latter part of
March or first part of April, in the
•pring.
It Is estimated that Colorado farm-
ers last year received $7,500,000 for
their sugar beet crop, an increase of
$1,000,000 over the product of the
previous year.
In the opinion of many eastern
feeders, best development of livestock
cannot be had without the use of
roots or silage to supply succulent
feed during winter.
String a stout wire overhead in the
cow barn and hang the lantern to this
while milking and feeding. It can be
slid along from place to place and is
safe handled this way.
In setting one fruit tree, or many,
the ground should be deeply plowed,
thoroughly harrowed and the rows
for the trees run out with the two-
horse plow. Run the plow twice in
each row.
A ewe without milk makes a poor
mother. Feed if necessary to get the
milk flow, and you'll find the invest-
ment a good one. Roots of any kind,
alfalfa hay, or a small grain feed will
work wonders.
A stout wire netting fence fastened
to stout posts set two and one-half
feet deep In the ground and eight feet
apart mokes the best hog fence; have
board at bottom and one at top to
keep '.he wire tight.
Might as well give the trees plenty
of room at the start because if you
don't they will have to be cut out
later. Thirty feet apart is the right
distance for apple trees, although 40
feet would not do any harm.
The future of the dairy business de-
pends upon the quality of our prod-
ucts. It Is a sad commentary on the
dairy business, when we hear dealers
and consumers argue that oleo Is bet-
ter than one-half of the butter, that
finds its way to the market.
When the mother's milk cannot be
used for her calf, try to get the milk
from a cow with a calf as old as the
one you are feeding on the bottle, as
the milk of a cow in the seventh or
eighth month of her period of lacta-
tion is bad for a vary roung call.
There Is nothing like leather
Plant tomatoes four feet apart each
way.
Don't fojget to spray the grape-
vines.
The Homer pigeon is the best bird
for squab raUlng
Sometimes litter gets so filthy that
It Is worse than none.
Leave It to the old hen to pick out
the best nest to lay In.
To Improve live stock requires In-
telligence and thought.
Among all dwarf growing trees the
Japanese maples stand first
If possible grow potatoes on clover
sod; this saves buying fertilizers.
Oats Is the standard grain for the
healthy development of young ani-
mals.
In the fattening pen give the pigs
all they will readily clean up but no
more.
Many farmers use a boar of differ-
ent breed of that of their sows to pro-
duce a cross.
Sound, healthy cows can only be
had by good stabling, careful feeding
and good water.
When the chicks can get away from
It at will, plenty of heat under the
hover is a good thing.
After the calf has learned to drink,
a little fine hay should be tied up In
the pen for the calf to nibble.
Almost all flower seeds germinate
more quickly if soaked In warm
water for a few hours before planting.
Do not plant trees with a bunch of
spreading roots. Trim them off to
within four or five Inches of the root
stock.
Don't forget to give the little ducks
plenty of drinking water, and after
one week old they want It to swim
in, too.
Horses that are clipped dry off
fast at night. This is better than
having them stand around in a heavy
wet coat.
A once lively faith In the existence
and possibilities of strains of hens
which would produce 300 eggs a year
has decayed.
At the end of five to eight days re-
move the calf to a roomy, clean box
stall and give a clean dry bed of
wheat or oat straw.
The feeding and management of the
young calves should be In the hands
of a competent hand and not left to
the boys or careless help.
Many a man has been surprised at
the effect of one load of barnyard ma-
nure scattered about under a tree.
It gives new life and fruitfulnees.
The only way to make a profit with
poultry is to attend closely to busi-
ness and not leave the feeding and
management of the flock to hired
help.
Extreme care must be taken of the
tiny seedlings, for If allowed to get
dry they will almost surely die and
If kept too moist they Incline to
"damp off."
The great secret In successful root
culture Is clean, mellow deep soli,
liberal fertilizing, early sowing and
early culture as soon as the plants
can be distinctly seen.
A light sandy soil will be rather
benefited by working it when moist,
as such will have a tendency to make
it more compact and consequently
more retentive of moisture.
Rhubarb Is of easy cultivation, and
when once planted, the grojind kept
clean, mellow and heavily manured,
will furnish a generous supply of Juicy
stalks for eight to ten years without
removal.
The horse can be made to masticate
his food by puttlng flnely cut hay with
the grain. A ration of half pralrio-
grass hay and half alfalfa will give
almost as good gains as a ration of
alfalfa alone.
A Virginia man writes that for
yearB he has sown a small patch of
buckwheat for his hens and he says
he Is quite certain that they thrive
better and lay more eggs than they
did without this grain.
Since the cost of growing an acre
of roots is two or three times as great
as that of growing an acre of corn,
the yield of dry matter being little
more, It seems poor farm practice to
abandon the silage In favor of roots.
Poor soil management means In the
end complete or partial soil exhaus-
tion, which Is a condition of the soil
in which it is deficient In humus con-
tent, or food content, or moisture con-
tent, or all three, and they usually go
togther.
Good sires are very essential If
hogs of the highest quality are to be
grown and <t uniformly profitable herd
built up. Only pure-bred boars should
be kept and these should bo carefully
selected to insure prepotency, quality
and soundness.

WELCOMED BY MEN WHO
SMOKE
Particular men who smoke realize
how offensive to people of refinement
la a strong tobacco breath, and how
objectionable to themselves Is that
"dark brown taste" in the mouth
after smoking.
Paxtlne Toilet Antiseptic Is worth
Its weight in gold for this purpose
alone. Just a little in a glass of water
—rinse the mouth and brush the teeth.
The mouth Is thoroughly deodorized,
the breath becomes pure and sweet
and a delightful sense of mouth clean-
liness replaces that dark brown to- j
bacco taste.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an- j
tiseptics and Peroxide for all toilet I
and hygienic uses and may be obtain- ;
ed at any drug store 25 and 60c a box

A Wily Judge.
At an assize court, according to the
London Times, a Juror claimed ex-
emption from serving on the ground
that he was deaf. The judge held a
conversation with the clerk of ar-
raigns on the subject, and then, turn-
ing to the man, at whom he looked in-
tently. he asked in a whisper: "Are
yon very deaf?" "Very," was the un-
guarded reply. "So I perceive," was
the rejoinder of the judge, "but not
whisper deaf You had better go into
the box. The witness shall speak
low."—Case and Comment.
POPULAR BUNGALOW HOUSES
Home architecture has made great
strides of late. California has taken
the lead and its bungalow homes are
built by thousands all over the coun-
try. We recommend to our readers a
book called "Practical Bungalows,"
published by the Iajs Angeles Invest-
ment Co., 3357 S. Hill St., Los Angeles,
Cal., in which is shown large photos
of 100 one and two-story homes, with
Interior views, plans, descriptions and
building costs; houses suited to our
climate at prices from $1,100 to $9,000.
You can get a hundred good, new

the most practical and beautiful book
of the kind we have seen.
Like the Other Chicks.
Charles T. Rose, equally well known
In Masonic work and banking circles
of Cleveland, is a great chicken fan-
cier. Rhode Island Reds being his
favorite breed. Walking through his
incubator house he discovered that
H«l°n, the three-year-old daughter,
had followed him.
"Come here, little chickabiddy." he
called to her. And when she ran
up to him to be tossed up and down,
she asked: "Papa, which was my in-
cubator?"
TO QUENCH A SUMMER THIRST.
Don't pour a lot of ice water into
you in order to quench the thirst for
the moment—not only does it not pro-
duce the desired result, but it is bad
for you.
There is just orTe beverage that fits
all conditions of heat and thirst—
COCA-COLA. v
Next time you're hot, tired or thirsty
drink a glass or a bottle of this one
best beverage—delicious, refreshing,
thirst-quenching. At soda-fountains or
carbonated in bottles—5c everywhere.
Write to the COCA-COLA CO., Atlanta,
fia., for a copy of their booklet, "The
Truth About COCA-COLA"—you will
find it interesting.
The Passing of the Wife.
We have known for some time that
I the wife would have to go. We have
held off as long as possible the in-
evitable moment, but it might just
as well be over with at once.
The wife was a very desirable a#
tide while she lasted. She mended
the hose and did the housework when
necessary and sat up patiently and
waited for hubby's return. A useful
person certainly—one to love, to hon-
or and obey.
Now the suffragette age is upon us
and the wife is rapidly becoming ex
tinct, says Life.
In a few more years she will be ex-
hibited in museums.
Adieu, madam! We respect your
memory!
Clean Sanitary Floors.
Varnish, which is commonly regard-
ed only as a beautifier, is an efficient
sanitary agent. Varnished surfaces can
be Cleaned by. Wiping, and the microbe-
laden dust is thus kept out of the air.
A varnished floor is therefore not only
up to date, beautiful and easily clean-
ed. but is wholesome. The National
Association of Varnish Manufacturers,

are distributing free a booklet entitled
"Modern Floors." which tells how
floors may be made and kept whole-
some and attractive Send for one

Chills and Fever
cause a great deal of distress and suffering. Miss Edna
Rutherford, of Douglassville, Tex., says: "Some years ago,
1 was caught in the rain, and was taken with dumb chills
and fever. 1 suffered more than I can tell. I tried all the
medicinas that 1 thought would do me any good, and had
four different doctors, but they did not help me. At last, I
tried Thedford's Black-Draught, and I improved wonder-
fully. Now, I feel better than 1 have in many months. It
is a wonderful medicine."
Thedford's
Black-Draught
has been uniformly successful, during more than 70 years,
when used to relieve chills and fever, in any form. Fever
is nearly always caused by some form of poisons in your
blood. Thedford's Black-Draught strikes at the root of the
trouble by cleansing and purifying the blood, and restoring
the system to its normal condition and efficiency. Enthu-
siastic friends have written, from all over the country, tell-
ing of their experience with this reliable, vegetable liver
medicine. They speak with the authority of actual expe-
rience. Why not try it for yourself? Sold everywhere.
Price 25c. Always ask for Thedford's. cca2
