Houston Texas— T was In ater-
tibly run-down condition of health

seem to regain my strength and was
really not able to do my housework
I knew I needed a good tonic and

folks used to regard Dr Pierce's
remedies in my girlhood days and
then I decided to take Dr Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery After
taking the second bottle my strength
returned rapidly and I felt better
In every way

the medicine that has done me so
much good and do not hesitate to

GRAIN GRADING
AND MARKETING
Columbia University Added to
Number of Colleges Giving
Course of Instruction
OTHER INSTITUTIONS AIDING
United 8tates Department of Agrlcul
ure la Preparing Seta of Traya
Illustrating Various Grad-
ing Factor
Columbia university has recently
been added to the number of colleges
giving Instruction In grain grading and
marketing The United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture charged with the
administration of the grain standards
act Is keenly Interested In having such
Instruction mnde a part of college cur:
rfcula particularly of agricultural col-
leges and today there are 20 colleges
where students study groin handling
Columbia University Helping
At New York city the local federal
grain supervision office Is giving active
assistance to Columbia university In
outlining and presenting the grain
grading course to be given and sim-
ilar help is being accorded other col-
leges by federal grain supervision offi-
cials located In 83 districts throughout
the United States The department Is
also preparing sets of eight type trays
illustrating the various grading factors
of shelled corn wheat and oats to be
lent to colleges teaching grain grading
under federal standards
Last fall a conference of teachers
of farm crops In a number of agricul-
tural colleges with federal grata su-
pervision officials was held athlcago
where the entire grain situation was
discussed with a view of equipping the
Instructors with Information that would
enable them to formulate courses of
study In grain grading and market-
ing Every phase of the grain trade
was covered and a report of the con-
ference prepared for distribution
among the various colleges interested
Grading Demonstrations
Grain grading demonstrations cover-
ing a period of from one to twelve
days have been given by United States
Department of Agriculture experts be-
fore students of agricultural colleges
In 17 states The department Is pre-
pared to assist colleges In every pos-
sible way In furnishing them with au-
thoritative Information regarding the
objects of the grain standards act and
the practical application of Its provisions
SNOWPLOW IS COLLAPSIBLE
Simple and Inexpensive Contraption
May B Folded Up and Carried
From Place to Place
The Scientific American In Illus-
trating and describing a snowplow the
Invention of V W Mason of Bridge-
port Conn says:
The object of the Invention Is to
provide a simple Inexpensive and col-
lapsible plow which when folded may
be easily carried from place to place
The Device Folded and Open for Use
A further object Is to provide a plow
f the manual type so constructed and
counterbalanced that its pushing and
pulling steering handle relatively ful-
crumed exerts a varying downward
pressure according to the depth and
resistance of the snow The plow can
be adjusted to clear a path from 28
to 30 Inches In width
AUSTRALIAN WHEAT IS GOOD
Larger Yield Obtained on Paclflo
Coast Than Some of -Native
Commercial Varieties
Tests made by the United States
Department of Agriculture with 130
lots of Australian wheats recently In-
troduced Into this country have
brought out three varieties adapted
for growing on the Pacific coast where
they have produced larger yields than
some of the native commercial va-
rieties They are known as Federa-
tion Hnrd Federation and White Fed-
eration The Australian varieties in
general are susceptible to most cereal
diseases but many of thqse are not
destructive In the Pacific const region
ERADICATION OF COCKLEBUR
Plant la Double-Barreled Gun Affair
Carrying Two Seeds — Circular Tells
How to Kill It
In eradicating the cocklebur remem-
ber that It carries a double-barreled
gun Every bur carries two seeds
only one of which sprouts the first
year Even when the product of that
seed has been killed the other will be
In shape to make trouble the next
season The United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture has a circular on
the cocklebur— how to get rid of It
WOOD CUTTING GOOD
JOB DURING WINTER
Work Does Not Interfere With
Regular Field Crops
Logs Cut In Cold Weather Season Are
Not 8ubject to Rapid Drying—
Farmers May Profitably Turn
to Soma Sawmilling
Farmers as a rule have too much
to do at certain times of the year and
not enough at others Many farms
are unprintable because their owners
have little or nothing planned for win-
ter Wood-cutting can be done at any
time but cool weather favors the rate
of production and In the winter the
work does not conflict with that on
regular field crops ' If cut In winter
logs are dot subject to rapid drying
Cutting Wood for Fuel by Ue of Gas-
oline Engine
nor to checking at the ends of the
logs which often occurs In summer-
cut logs and apparently reduces their
sale value
Because of injury resulting from the
southern pine bark beetle In the hot
season It is practically necessary to
cut pine In the fall and winter months
Damage and loss In summer often
come from wood-rotting fungi Includ-
ing the “bluing” and other staining of
wood For these reasons a good many
farmers turn profitably to logging and
sawmilling for a few fall or winter
months each year Nearly every kind
of wood product can be satisfactorily
bandied in winter according to the for-
est service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture

FERTILITY IN TON OF STRAW
It Has Ability to Increase Crop Just aa
Much at Manure Although It la
8lower to AcL
A ton of straw contains ns much
fertility as a ton of manure and al-
though the fertility does not become
available quite so quickly It neverthe-
less has the ability in the long run to
Increase crops just as much as ma-
nure Of course the Ideal way to use
straw Is to use It as bedding for ani-
mals and then spread it on the land
mixed with manure Where this Is
Impractical the straw should by all
menus be spread on the land at the
rate of around one and a half tons
per acre and plowed under
CHICKENS NEED GREEN FEED

PERMANENT ROADS ARE BEST
!! f
Although Apparently Expensive at
First They Add Greatly to Value
of Farm Lands
When one Is figuring the cost of Jm-
proving the public roads consideration
should be given to the Increased value
of the lands located In the section
where the roads have been permanent-
ly Improved
In every case where roads have been"
pnt in a permanently good condition
the value of the farms has Increased
to a point that the Increased value
would more than pay the cost of the
Improvement Permanent roads do
seem high-priced In the beginning but
An Improved Road Near Now York
City
one should figure that there will bo
small future outlay for upkeep
The dirt road has a bad reputation
every place It Is found and even Im-
proving does not make it a permanent
road for it is continually i needing
work It Is a never-ending job to keep
a dirt road in even passable condition
It Is like doing the chores on the farm
they must be gone over again and
again and still remain to be looked
after The properly graded road of
conrae Is better than one poorly made
but at Its best It Is a continual worry
and expense Where very steep hills
are on the roadway ditches should be
run off along the side to carry the wa-
ter Into the side ditch and not allow It
to run down to the bottom carrying
the soil with It and making a pool
where It stops
Mnch of the movement now for Im-
proved roads Is for permanent roads
And as stated above these permanent
roads although quite expensive at first'
add much to the value of the lands and
to the reputation of the farming dis-
tricts It has been much easier to
populate a new farming section when
It Is known that permanent roads are
coming soon or are already Installed
A farm always sells better when the
buyer can approach It on a substantial
roadway Those who are advocating
good roads and permanent roads may
not all live to see their ambitions sat-
isfied but they are starting a move-
ment that will carry on to the coming
generations and will be a blessing for
those who live after the present Im-
proved rood agitation

SUPERIOR SYSTEM OF ROADS
In Every Section of Country Work Is
Progressing Rnvorably on Many
Projects
The time Is rapidly passing when
the bad roads of America can be point-
ed out as a reproach In every sec-
tion of the country work Is In progress
to give the United States a system of
roads which will compare favorably
with those of other countries Roads
are being built at 2085 different points
Fully 30000 miles of road have been
approved by the secretary of agricul-
ture It is 'estimated that this con-
struction will cost the country nearly
1400000000 At the end of June 1020
the government reported that 2116 dif-
ferent projects or a totnl of 16000
miles of roads had been completed—

ACCESSIBILITY TO MARKETS
Farm on Paved Road la Nearer to the
City Than One Located on
Impassable Highway
The type of rond over which a farm-
er must haul his crops determines his
accessibility to mnrkets A farm many
miles from the city but If located on a
paved rond Is nearer to market than
a farm separated from It by only a
mile of Impassable rond That Is
why the various reports of the United
States weather bureau Issued dally by
the local state offices of the bureau de-
vote frequently their entire report to
the subject of roads — a strange place
you'll say to find an editorial promot-
ing permanent highways hut It Is there
