FARM NOTES
Tlie garden record book is very val-
uable The best stock builds up earliest
swarm first and are tbe best to gather
honey
The cost of seed Is Insignificant com-
pared with the importance of a good
stand of corn
Tbe most expensive elements of a
balanced ration protein for Instance
can be grown in abundance on most
farms
! Peanut butter has become a staple
article of food and It has characteris-
tics that give it a special place in the
affections of the housekeeper
As conservators of fertility and aids
to the growth of other members of the
plant kingdom the legumes act a part
remarkable in economy and unique in
Bcience
Every year when the gardening
season arrives the question of the
best varieties arises This can be eas-
ily determined by keeping records of
each variety
Many gardeners are now planning
for bedding plants and some are
doubtless hesitating because of the
cost of tbe plants Tbe cost will be
small if you propagate the plants your-
self BENEFITS IN USING CEMENT
It May Be Profitably Employed In
Many Ways About Farm and
Costs but Little
(By J E BRIDGEMAN)
The proper use of cement supplies
so many needs on the farm that the
following article on cement brick ma-
king is bure to be of great value to
every ingenious farmer
Cement brick may be easily made
on the farm and used for all purposes
for which clay brick or stone are now
used and they may also be used for
some things that clay brick or stone
could not be used for Tbe cost in
most cases will be less than the clay
brick
' Tbe illustrations show the mold for
making the brick also six of tbe
finished brick on the drying palette or
board
The two sides of this mold are
formed of 2x6-lnch tfmber the 12
center cross pieces are of 1x6 boards
while almost any lumber may be used
Hard wood however if smooth and
straight is preferable
The brick are supposed to be 2x4x8
Inches and set as shown on one face
This permits the molder to face the
brick with a very rich cement mixture
Mold for Brfck
-say about one inch and the remain-
ing apace in the mold is filled with a
leaner or weaker mixture
While it is true that a mixture of
one part cement and four parts coarse
sand will make a brick that will sup-
port a great amount of weight it will
not be waterproof so by filling the
first one inch with a mixture of one
part cement and one or two parts
sand we get a waterproof brick on the
face at greatly reduced cost
The various parts of this mold are
as shown interchangeable and must
all be of the 6ame size The mold Is
held together by the two bolts CC
which have hand taps that are quickly
loosened The mold sets on a bottom
board B and is squared and hel£ lu
place by the four blocks AAAA
Many failures have been made lay-
ing to make cement brick with molds
held together with hinges hooks etc
as almost all of these molds are con-
structed in a way that it is impossible
to keep them square or sufficiently
rigid to tamp the cement In the molds
When the molds have been filled the
palette or drying board Is plflced on
top of tbe mold and all turned upside
down tbe bottom removed the bolts
loosened and the part3 may then be
easily taken away from the brick
without spoiling or chipping the
edges
Tbe mold must be smoothed with
sandpaper and kept well oiled After
the mixture is well tamped In place
level off the top with a straight board
and place the brick under some shed
or at least in the shade
Keep the palettes under water for
several hours before using them but
be sure that all the surplus water has
been drained off
Tbe entire operation of molding the
brick la quickly and easily done
For all ordinary work use a mixture
Cement Bricks
of one part cement to three or four
parts coarse clean sand Mix dry and
add water until it Is of the consistency
of thick Jelly and will hold its shape
when squeezed in the hand
Before laying the brick in the wall
wet them thoroughly and keep th-m
well dampened while drying for a
least ten days While it will be pos-
sible to handle them and if necessary
lay them in the wall only ten or fif-
teen days old they will not be entire-
ly uardene-i for several months
MAKING FARM CHORES EA&i
Where Possible Every Farmer Shoult
Use -Time and Labor-Saving
Conveniences
(By S L PARKER
In tbe work about the farm It Is at
times necessary to have an easy way
of transferring water swill or any
oiher liquid to different parts of the
farm and as it is impossible to use
horses and wagon for this work ach
time much labor may be avoided by
Axle Holds Barrel
the construction of the bandy water
and-barrel-carrier Illustrated and de-
scribed in this article
The cost of same should be very
slight as on every farm there is usual-
ly an old pair of wheels with an axle
and the wood frame work can be
built in a few moments this with a
barrel and a little blacksmithing com-
pletes the carrier ready to help lighten
your labor and save you many a step
To construct have the axle bent
into a half circle as shown in the Illus-
tration near to the hub have a short
block about two inches thick fitted so
that it will rest upon tbe top of axle
to elevate the handles bo the barrel
will swing
Make your handles of two-inch-square
lumber in the manner shown in
the illustration or like an ordinary
push-cart handle Now have two Irons
eight inches long and about one inch
wide have one end of each one bent
up at right angles to make a hook
which Is to hold the barrel In' place
These must be drilled with two
holes about as far apart as the axle is
wide and then placed on the end of
the handle and over the block fitted
to the axle then two holes are bored
down through the end of the handle
and block
Into these holes a clip or hook Is
fitted sa that it goes around tbe axlo
and up through the block handle and
Iron hook on top where it Is drawn
tight with nuts so that the whole
framework is rigid
Procure a good oil or molasses bar-
rel and have two lugs made in an
L" form with tbe part that fits
against the barrel flat with two boles
In same for bolting to side of the bar-
rel and with tbe projecting round
This is the hanger that the barrel
swings upon and is placed a little
above the center of the barrel toward
the top about two inches Is ample
To' use have tbe barret set upright
in the usual manner fill with water or
other liquid then roll up the carrier
and elevate the handles which lowers
the hooks at axle end these are
hooked over the lugs on barrel with
the sides of the barrel up even against
the semi-circular axle You have only
to press down the handles to raise the
barrel from the ground and transport
to any place you desire upon the farm
Water Barrel Carrier
The bent axle prevents the barrel
from tipping over and also holds it
firmly so that it will not swing on the
lugs and thus make It harder to con-
trol when carrying It also keeps the
barrel from leaving its tuition on the
hooks bolted to the ends or the han-
dles and serves as a fulcrum for the
handles to work upon as levers when
lifting the barrel when filled
MILO GROWN AS FEED CROP
Plant Belongs to Nonsaccharin Sorg-
hums and Resembles Kafir Very
Much in Appearance
(By ALVIN KETSER COLORADO AG
RICULTURAL COLLEGE)
The campaign being conducted by
the Colorado Agricultural college in
an effort to get mllo generally grown
as a feed crop on the plains of the
state has called forth a great deal of
Inquiry concerning this crop
Milo belongs to the family of plants
called sorghums The sorghums are
divided into two large groups— the
sweet or saccharin sorghums and tbe
nonsaccharin sorghums These differ
chiefly in sugar content and yield of
seed The sap of the saccharin
sorghums is sweet and the non-
saccharin sorghums have no sugar in
the sap Milo belongs to the non
saccharin group of sorghums It re-
sembles Kafir very much in appear-
ance and habits of growth which Is
quite natural considering it Is h close
relative of Kafir It is frequently
called mllo maize but this name is in-
correct as it Is not a maize
Mllo grows erect with thick short-
jointed sulks attaining an average
height of from four to seven feeL The
grain is borne in heads at the top of
the stalks These heads reach a con-
siderable size and are relatively short
and compact Where the stand is thin
tbe beads get very large and turn
downward by their own welghL With
uucker stands the heads are smaller
and stand erect

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT
My little son a boy of five broke
out with an Itching rash Three doc-
tors prescribed for him but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college
but its treatment did no good At
the time I was induced to try Cut!
cura he was so bad that I had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages as It was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand There was not one square Inch
of Bkln on his whole body that was
not affected He was one mass of
sores The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking I began to think that
he would never get well but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment I began to see signs of improve-
ment and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up His skin peeled off twenty
times but it finally yielded to the
treatment Now I can say that he Is
entirely cured and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day twelve years or more since
the cure was effected Robert Wattam

Carelessness with Firearms
Georgia has a colored gen'man fa-
mous for the wild turkeys he can bag
He also can deliver luscious tame
fowls and Judge H of There
abouts ordered Gustavus to bring him
au exceptionally fine specimen of the
latter variety for the New Year spread
At the 'feast he carved the great bird
with much satisfaction until his knife
struck a bunch of shot
The next day Gustavus was haled to
the judge's office
"Gus you black rascal” said the
Irate Judge "I ordered you to fetch
me a tame turkey you brought me a
wild one Don’t deny It here are the
shot from It now what have you got
to say?”
The colored gen’man shuffled and
twisted his cap then he grinned
sheepishly and explained:

“My mamma says it isn’t good for

Marlon with an air of self-righteousness
“I’m not ever going till I’m 18"

Discovery is to-day and has for over
40 years been the standard Blood-puri-

Invigorator sold by druggists It’s not
' secret nostrum but a medicine of
known composition — a medicine so
good that the best physicans prescribe
it knowing that its ingredients which
are printed on its outside wrappers and
attested under oath are the best known
to medical science for the diseases for
which it is advised
The great success of Dr Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery in curing weak stomachs wasted bodies
weak lungs and obstinate and lingering coughs is based on the rec-
ognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden Medical Discov-
ery" supplies Nature with body-building tissue-repairing muscle-
making materials iq condensed and concentrated form With this
help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to di-
gest food build up the- body and thereby throw off lingering ob-
stinate coughs The "Discovery" re-establishes the digestive and
nutritive organs in sound health purifies and enriches the blood
and nourishes the nerves— in short establishes sound vigorous health

Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound? We can
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable
cures after all other means had failed
Women who are suffering with some form of female
illness should consider this
As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial
letters We guarantee they are genuine and honest stato
ments of facts
Cresson Pa— “ Five years ago I had a bad fall and hurt
myself inwardly I was under a doctor's care for nine weeks
and when I stopped I grew worse again I sent for a bottle of
Lydia £ Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound took it as directed
And now I am a stout hearty woman''— Mrs Lila E Aikey
Cresson Pa
Baird "Wash— “A year ago I was sick with kidney and
bladder troubles and female weakness Tbe doctors gave mo
up All they could do was to just let me go as easily as possible
I was advised by friends to take Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier I am completely cured of my
ills and I am nearly sixty years old" — Mrs Sarah Leighton
Baird Wash
Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not
cure are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles after
reading two such letters as the above should be encouraged
to try thi3 wonderfully helpful remedy
For 30 years Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine
Made exclusively from roots and herbs and
has thousands of cures to its credit -
