A HANDY WAGON BOX.
Easily Constructed and Can Be Used
for Variety of Hauling.
This homemade wagon box may be
constructed with little labor and ex-
pense and is very useful for a variety
of hauling. For the sills I used two
timbers I%x8 inches by 12 feet long
of hard pine. For the floor I used six
pieces of No. 1 sheeting hard pine tor

wide. For the floor ordinary hard pine
flooring was used. For stays at the
side I used 2x3 inch strips. The front
end gate was made solid, as shown m

was made in two pieces, either one
of which could be left out.
This is a fine rack, says the Farm

grasses for pasturage.
I have seeded considerable land the
past ten years and will give hr e y
my experience and observation,
writes a correspondent of Farmers
Review.
In Mercer county, Illinois, the blue
grass (and red-top in the low an s

' short time when used either as
meadow' or pasturage, especially
latter. My plan of gettth? a good

j either spring or autumn; if in spring,
| with oats, in autumn with rye. With
1 oats I go through with seeder am

acres of ground, then I p°w t ree
bushels of oats, disk thoroug y,

peck of timothy seed, then cross har-
row and leave until oats are read,
to harvest, and almost invariably iaA®

and yields a bountiful supply of botn
hay and pasture. I sow clover first,
as it roots deepest. The following
year I have an excellent crop oi hay
pasture in the fall. At this time blue
grass appears, and In two oi t re
years is firmly set. After the fl
year the land may be pastured stead-
ily and soon forms a firm sod.
Rve is an excellent crop with wnic
to seed. I plow the land about four
inches deep as soon as oats are ou
of the way, enough to cover all tras .
I then sow my rye at the rate of one
and one-hnlf bushel per acre, and one-
tenth bushel clover seed, harrow once
and then apply one peck of timothy
and low-land red top and harrow tho7*
oughly. This should be done by Sep
tember first; it then gets all the tan
rains. After October first it may be
pastured in dry weather. In the
spring it may be pastured without in-
jury to either crop until June first.

A Billion Feet of Lumber Wasted
Every Year in the Northwest.
In the Pacific northwest, nearly 200.-
000 men are employed in culling down
the last primeval forests of this coun-
try and sluicing these stately armies
of spruce and fir and ^ « 000 00o’'-
000.000 feet of lumber and b,000,000,-
000 shingles every year.
This timbered area is the richest
natural treasure of the American con-
tinent. compared with which the gold
mines of Alaska and Nevada are of
picayune value for this and for com-
ing generations.
It is so wonderfully rich a treat-lire
that, "according to Ralph D. Paine,
in Outing, its owners are squandering
it like drunken spendthrifts. A di.
lion feet of lumber is wasted every
year, enough to build 100,000 comfort,
able American homes.
It is characteristic of western men
and methods that the ways of tog
ong in the east should have been
flung aside as crude and slow. The
giant timber of the Washington for-
ests on the slopes of the Cascades
is not hauled by teams or rafted down
rivers Steam has made of logging
a business which devastates the woods

differ as strikingly from the lumber

as the electric sold dredgers of the
Sacramento valley contrast with tne

other words, the greater the need of
preserving the forests, the greater is
the American ingenuity for turning
them* into cash as fast as possible.

Dead Leaves.
Dead leaves are of great value for j
fertilizing purposes in the garden and
they are also good to keep out frost in
the winter. For banking around a i
building to keep out the cold nothing
is better. They are useful for a cov- J
ering for vegetables stored in the cel-
lar or buried out of doors. Sweet po-
tatoes can be kept in leaves. They
can be used as a covering for the
flower beds in the fall to protect them
from freezing. They are useful for
protection to the strawberry bed and
any other plants that are in one place
for more than one season. They are

A FOOD CONVERT.
Good Food the True Road to Health.
The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve dyspepsia, keeps up the
patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion — dyspepsia — is caused
by what is put into the stomach in
the way of improper food, the land
that so taxes the strength of the di-
gestive organs they are actually enp-
pl\Yhen this state is reached, to resort
to stimulants is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lasn
increases his loss of power to move
the load. . , , .
Trv helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestible food an-
take on Grape-Nuts—light, easily di-
gested full of strength for nerves and
brain, in every grain of it. There’s no
waste of time nor energy when Grape-
Nuts is the food.
“I am an enthusiastic user of Grape-^
Nuts and consider it an ideal food,
writes a Maine man:
“I had nervous dyspepsia and was
all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an adv. I tried Grape-Nuts food, and
after a few weeks’ steady use of it,
felt greatly improved.
“\m much stronger, not nervous
now, and can do more work without
feeling so tired, and am better eveo
“I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four heaping teaspoonfuls at
a meal. I am sure there are thou-
sands of persons with stomach trou-
ble who would be benefited by using
Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum

tle book, “The Road to WellvUle, ia
