LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.
.y.
Many people exist In a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that ton t.tid cof-
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness. and that there is u sin pic way
to let the light break in
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
ience and tells about it, iu u letter, lie
says:
"For about forty years, I have had
Indigestion ami stomach trouble in
various forms. Muring the last 25
years 1 would not more than get over
one spell of bilious colic until uuothcr
would be upon me.
"The best doctors 1 could get cud
all the medicines 1 could buy, only
guv- me temporary relief.
"Change of climate was tried with-
out results. I could not sleep nights.
Ii.nl rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump out of my body.
"1 came to the conclusion ttint there
was no relief for me and that 1 was
about wound up. when 1 saw a I'ostum
advertisement. I had always been a
coffee drinker, and got un idea from
the ad that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
"I began to use I’ostum Instead of
coffee and In less than three weeks I
lelt like a new man. The rheumatism
left me. anil I have never had a spell
of bilious colic simvx
"My appetite is good my digestion
never was better and 1 can do more
work than before for 40 years.
"I haven't fasted coffee since I be-
gan with I’ostum. My wife makes It
according to directions and I relish it
ns well a* 1 ever did coffee, and I was
certainly a slave to coffee."

the money bags
were tightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 400,000 now peo-
ple a year. Towns and cities hud to

und capital had not made sufficient
preparation
Hut the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to n normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall In 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed nt the usual time the
past spring Therefore ns a general
tiling seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country In the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been

and had a stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads

was $1,024.71 In 1910, as against
$518.03 in 1900. being an increase of
79.18 per cent, in the decade.
Coining back to the crops of 1913. It
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat In Saskatchewan will be about
115.000,000 bushels, with an average
yield of over 22 bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but a fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Harley is excellent, while flax,
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce a
greater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date of August 12th. a report
coincR from Regina which says:
"Unless some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers of the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded in the West.

U 3. to Help Financially.
Much interest was manifested In
the suggestion made by I.itul that all
proposals he laid aside for the pres-
ent except that which asks Huerta not
to be a candidate in the coming elec-
tion. It was learned that while Presi-
dent Wilson knew the gist of Mr.
Lind’s second proposals, he was not
acquainted until now with the text of
the communication in which Mr.
Lind promised that, if his last sugges-
tions were accepts#. assurances would
be given American bankers of the mor-
al support of the American govern-
ment for a loan to rehabilitate the fin-
ances of the present Mexican regime.
The hWIte House vfew of th coffer

fort to bring about peace appear to

bent upon the United States to help
Mexico straighten out her financial
tangles.
El Reno.—That within a few years
a silo will be as common a sight on
Oklahoma quarter sections as barns
now are, is indicated by the aerious
consideration farmers are giving to
the proper construction of the silo
and the eagerness with which they
ara seeking information concerning
the proper packing of nilon and the
method of feeding silage.
To those farmers who are unable to
construct a alio above ground, the
pit silo can be dug and made to pro-
duce the same quality of silage aa
the most expensive. The chief dif-
ference between the sUo built be-
neath tbc surface and the one tow-
ering thirty feet above lies In the
accessibility of the latter when feed-
ing time cornea. This Is the Infor-
mation given out by the lecturers on
the Rock Island silo train.
Experience has shown that depth
is one of the chief requisites of a silo,
in order to obtain gravity pressure.
The doors in the side of a silo built
above ground from which the silage
can be removed for feeding purposes
are practically the only advantage
possessed over those built beneath
the surface. The object in construct-
ing a silo round in shape is two-fold;
first if it is above ground no unequal
pressure will cause the walls to
spread, and second, it gives to the
silo a round shape which enables the
silage to settle evenly, precluding the
possibility of air pockets.
At Very Little Cost
Tor the tenant or farmer of mod-
erate means who desires to have on
his farm a silo in which to store win-
ter feed for livestock, an excellent
underground or pit silo can be con-
structed with the outlay of but a
few- dollars.
The pit silos that are being us®d
vary in diameter from eight to six-
teen feet, and from twenty to thirty-
six feet in depth. Silage usually is
fed to cows and beef cattle at the
rate of from thirty to forty pounds
per day, therefore a cow or steer
in 200 days would require from three
to four tons of silage. A silo with
a depth of twenty feet and a diame-
ter of eiRht feet would contain ap-
proximately eighteen tons of silage,
which would feed through the winter
at least five head of livestock.
The ground in which the silo is to
be dug should first be given a smooth
surface, to facilitate the walls being
kept perpendicular. The ground
should be firm. For a person desir-
ing to construct x pit silo eight feet
in diameter, n perfect circle can be
marked off by driving a stake In the
center of the ground to be occupied
by the silo. To the top of this stake
affix n board fully four feet in length.
At the far end of the board, one large
nnil should be driven, projecting
through the board, and then aix
Inches closer to the central stake a
second nail should be driven. By
revolving the stake two circles will
be described on the smooth surface
of the ground.

the brightest. It was not only In
wheat but In flax, oats and barley, the
same splendid conditions obtained.
Rains In all parts of the country came
at the right time and the best of
weather throughout tho season pro-
vailed in all parts.
The hay crop was excellent. Al-
falfa. clover and timothy grasses were
good, and many farmers are now cul-
tivating these splendid fodders.
The homestead shack is giving place
to comfortable residences. Large
hams are being erected where the im-
provised log and mud stable gave shel-
ter to the few head of cattle that the
mrly settler may have had in tils pos-
which were almost ripe enough for the
binder. Others require about a week
more warm weather, but everywhere
was the indication of a phenomenal
yield. Oats do not average up with
the wheat, but several good fields were
seen. This time next weqk the hum

Naples.—Porter Charlton, the Amer-
ican who must stand trial before the
Italian courts for the murder of his
wife, Mary Scott Castle Chariton, at
l^tko Como three years ago. arrived at
Naples front the United Slates aboard
the steamship Re' Italia.
Charlton w-as In charge of Lieuten-
ant French ini and Carabineer Rizzo of
the Italian military police, with whom
ho seemed on friendly terms.
The Associated Press correspondent
was allowed to see Charlton, who was
sitting in his shirt sleeves, about to
have supper with the carabineers.
Charlton promptly exclaimed that he
was tired of seeing newspaper men.
He added he had a ocmparatlvely good
voyage and had spent most of his
time tn studying the Italian language
as he was desirous of learning suffi-
cient words to follow- his own trial
and. at the same time, had prepared
his defense.
The space between the two circles
should be dug out to a depth of at
least eighteen inches. This branch,
six inches wide and eighteen Inches
deep should be filled with concrete.
If s%nd and cement is used to fill the
trench, the mixture should be in the
proportion of one part cement to four
parts of sand. If the sand contains
coarse gravel, one part of cement and
lire parts of sand should be used,
j This concrete curb# should extend
j above the ground a foot or two. to
protect the silo from wash water.
I When the concrete has settled for
twenty-four hours, excavation of the
I inside of the pit can safely be com-
menced.
Tli<> diameter of the pit, including
l th] coating of cement, should be even f
I at every point w ith the inside of tha
- curb, to permit an even settling of
the silage. After the pit has be^n
dug to a depth of five feet the walls
should be carefully trimmed and
given a eoatiug of cement. This coat-
ing should be from three-fourths to
one inch in thickness. The advant-
age of coating the walls with cement
is to make the pit airtight and to pre-
ment moles and rats burrowing into
l the pit. Hy coating the walls of the
pit as It is dug, no scaffolding wil!
be necessary.
The dirt from the pit, when it has
been dug to a depth which precludes
the use of a shovel, can be removed
by the use of an ordinary block and
tackle and bucket attached to a der-
rick. A cement flooring is not an ab-
solute necessity, but the pit probably
; will be more nearly airtight if one
| is laid. The cement flooring will in
j addition to excluding the air, serve
(ta keep out seep water from the bot-
- lom of the pit.
