After they were mar ried they aet out for their new home in a freight car that the bridegroom bad specially fixed for the Journey. “The front half of the car was ar ranged as a sleeping and living room and kitchen combined. They had the necessary tables and folding chairs, box cupboards for the dishes and sup plies, and a big oil stove. Lamps hung from the roof of the car, ship fashion, and the whole interior looked particularly coxy when the bride had finished the work begun by her hus band. “The odd part of the outfit was the fact that the rear half of the car was fitted up as a stable for the two horses that were a part of their wed ding gifts.

This was the title of the subject al lotted to a speaker at one of the auxiliary meetings of the Michigan State Dairyman’s Association. In the course of his remarks he said that he believed that many dairymen at tempt to feed too economically. The average cow wants all she can eat. The first thing she does with her feed is to repair to the wastes of the body, all excess going toward the production of milk. He advised a liberal supply of different kinds of feed. Feed all that the cow will eat, but show some discrimination as to kind of feed. A cow in order to give milk should have flesh-nourishing foods and heat-form ing foods. Good feeders always have enough heat-producing foods. Foods containing protein are not raised on our farms in sufficient quantities to balance the others. Clover, alfalfa and bran are very good protein bear ers, but the food that has the most protein is cottonseed meal. It is also probably the cheapest source of protein. Next cheapest are oil and gluten meals. The speaker also said that he had used corn silage and cot tonseed meal last year and found it *>, very satisfactory ration.

But soon scales or crusts formed where the break ing out was. Instead of going to a phy sician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had grea^ faith, and all was satisfactory.

Bill Hackney the other day “So I immediately became a reform er and started an agitation for a law creating Grand Juries. I was sent to the Legislature two or three terms and at each session tried to get a Grand Jury law through, but failed. Then I went to the Senate for a couple of terms and kept up my fight, but failed. “Then as a member of the third house for a couple of terms I threw my influence in favor of a Grand Jury bill every time one showed up. Finally, after seventeen years of ceaseless toll, I was amply reward ed. A Grand Jury law was passed. I went home happy. I nad helped to do something to protect the rights of the people. "In order to see how the thing worked the people of my own county, where the agitation had been the fier cest, had a Grand Jury called and 1 was the first man Indicted.

Many boys do not understand why a ball may be made to curve in its flight. Here is the explanation: When a ball is thrown it is retarded in its forward motion by the resistance of the air, which exerts a pressure not only on the face of the ball, but a resisting force on its sides by fric tion. If the ball be simply thrown forward the friction of the air will be equal on each side of it; but, if one side be made to move faster than the other, that Is, if the ball be made to rotate on its own axis so as to increase the lateral friction, the natural result Is a curve in the di rection of the side on which its mo tion has been retarded. That is thi philosophy of a "curved ball.” Taylor’s Cheroke® Remedy of Sweet Gum aud Mulleu is Nature's great remedy—Cures Coughs, Colds, Croup and Consumption, and all throat and lung troubles.

In line with the suggestions before given about having places in the barn on which to hang the harnesss is the plan of keeping preparations on hand to oil and repair the harness so that it will have the longest possible lease of life. If the harness is very soiled and stiff the best way of getting it in prime condition is to take it apart at every place where it is fastened by a buckle and soaking it in water which has been a trifle warmed. Then take a stiff brush, a small scrubbing brush will answer the pur pose, and scrub each part of the harness thoroughly. Then spread it out to dry and if any portion is still sticky scrub it again. To soften and preserve the leather nothing is better than neat’s-foot oil, which is readily obtained. Apply a small quantity to the harness and rub it in thoroughly with the hand. In the absence of this oil use sweet oil. After thoroughly oiling see that each buckle moves freely and that none of the stitches is broken at the seams. Twice or three times a year of overhauling the harness as suggest ed will keep it in such condition that it will last for years longer than when carelessly treated.—Indianapo lis News. Many beekeepers reserve un furnished sections and place bees in hives that are short on winter stores. Queenless and weak colonies of any kind should be united for winter ing. In uniting take away all but one queen. If you are not prepared to look af ter your bees properly you had better get rid of them, as they will never make you a profit uncared for. Success in beekeeping must be gained by actual experience. Others may supply facts, but the results, even if they agree, must be the work of experience. Keep the dark and ill flavored comb off the market. Feed it back to the bees, sell it to the baker, do anything with it, but don’t put it where it will kill the sale of honey, good or bad alike. Grinding Corn for Hogs. There is such a variation in results of experiments conducted to ascer tain whether it is best to grind feed for hogs that the individual feeder is left to be his own judge and to ascertain for himself whether it pays best to grind the feed or to feed it whole. My experience has been that young animals will chew their feed better than old ones and that almost cocw-y Vw-0^5 -Tr -UL olefc.-A ^ — x,- •**-■* •* fore it dries out. While young hogs will chew dry corn reasonably well old ones are liable to pass half the grains unbroken in their voidings. Last year I undertook to fatten a stag five years old and after the corn got dry he did not, from appearance, break half the grains. I am now fattening a sow about the same age and the same is true with her. I am feeding her ground feed now, however, and feel pretty sure that it pays me to go to the trouble ( of grinding it. If the grains are not broken it is a clear case that the animal will not get much benefit from the feed, and when any considerable quantity of grains are voided without chewing by the animal it would seem to be the best plan to have the feed ground. Of course it will be some trouble and cost to grind the feed, but if the animals are not chewing their feed well the extra trouble will be amply repaid in extra grain from the same amount of feed. —J. P. Fletcher in the Indiana Farm er. How to Mate Fowls. The mating of the fowls is of great importance to the true fancier, and should receive careful attention from him. The experienced and success ful fancier well knows its importance, and realizes that upon his knowledge of the same much of his success de pends. Many a season’s work has been a failure, from a fancier’s standpoint, simply because of mis takes in mating. The stock may have been good but not well mated, and the result therefore was a failure. To the beginner it may seem that by mating his highest scoring male with his highest scoring females he has made his best possible mating and can confiidently look for good re sults in their progeny. This may at times prove correct, but not always; it depends upon cir cumstances. No bird is perfect, and therefore must have its faulty points as well as its good points. How to mate a male bird having a faulty comb with females with a like de fect, we must not expect the outcome to be good; for the offspring are apt to come with this defect magnified. We should \not expect good results from mating .a male and a female with the same de| ;ct, for we will not get any but bad results. It requires but little thought for one to plainly see this, and cause him or her to say that with such a male one must mate fe males having good combs of good re sults in that idirection are to be ex pected. YouJmay see by so doing you will not Jilways obtain good re sults or bad, out you will not always have bad chicks. To obtain chicks as near perfection as can be got, al ways breed fro^ the very best stock that can be obtained.—J. A. Roadruck in the Indiana Farmer. much it will 90 percent o tmdtf 8,rable tire investiga surveys of tfi^ Vitality of Seed. The vitality of seed depends partly on its manner of harvesting and partly on the way it is preserved. Imported seed is rarely so full of vitality as American grown seed. The moist climate of Europe and the sea voyage injure it. Seed kept in air tight packages, especially if stored before it is “bone dry,” loses its life. Seeds differ greatly in the time they will retain their germinative power. Cabbage and turnips can be safely planted the third year, and will retain some vitality up to seven or eight years. Carrots, parsley, spinach and parsnips have low vitality after two years, and fresh seeds are much to be preferred. Cucumbers, melons, etc., will retain a vitality of 70 percent up to4he third year. Pepper and egg plant re of little value after the first year. Beets are their best the first and second year, but have been known to grow a crop at eight years of age. Lettuce is good for four years, but celery is not safe to plant after the first year. Tomato, when well cured, is good for two or three years. Peas and beans are good for two years, and* if well cured may grow the third year.' Well cured flint corn will give a 50 percent stand the third year. * Dent corn and sugar corn are of weaker vitality, and new seed should always be planted. Buzrss.

PLANS A MOSQUITOLESS JERSEY. 1 State Entomologist Says the Job Can Be Done for $315,550. New Jersey Jjas just found out how to free the state of ioes- its JUQgt exhaus- ased upon actual mosquito breed ing grounds In7 the salt marshes which fringe the| state from upper Newark Bay down along the Atlan tic coast and up< the Delaware bay, it has been found that the .work can be done for $315,55(. The cost is based upon the resultfc of work that has been done already in New Jersey and New York. John B. Sm/ith, the state entomo logist, has jueit published for the in formation of Jaw makers and others, his findings ip a pamphlet, which he calls “Mosquito Memoranda.” Mr. Smith says that nine-tenths of all the mosquitoes in the state come from the salt marshes, which used to be thought valuable solely for the pro duction of salt hay for the bedding of horses. He has also found that of the mosquitoes which afflict residents of shore resorts and the region of pines not far inland fully 95 percent are bred in these marshes. The one remedy to rid New Jersey of the evil reputation of being the greatest mosquito factory in the world Is to abolish all salt marshes. A large part of the work can be done by simple ditching and draining. Some of the work can be accom plished only by filling up the marshes with the sand which can be found close at hand. Hundreds of square miles can be reclaimed for only a lit tle more than $300,000. The most expensive part of the work lies along the southern half of the Jersey coast. In and around New ark bay and Staten Island a large amount of work has already been ac complished. The most expensive part of the work in all that region is at the mouth of the Raritan river and extending to the end of its salt marsh. The cost for freeing this ter ritory from marshes is only $5000. In all the other parts of the northern belt only a few hundreds of dollars are needed in about a dozen neighbor hoods. South of Barnegat the expense mounts up. The area along the main shore, south from Barnegat to the Pennsylvania railroad's bridge and west to Manahawkin. and including the islands along the shore, will re quire $18,000 for exterminating pur poses. The meadow south from Tuckerton to Great Bay, one of the worst regions in the state, will re quire $10,000. The area between Na cote Creek, Somers Cove, Little Baj and Great Bay will require $15,000 VaII around the Cape May region ap propriations of from $5000 to $10,000 will be required in a dozen places. On the Delaware bay side an appro priation of $20,000 is needed in the Port Norris region and $15,000 In the Salem and Cohansey creeks terri tory. Altogether money is asked to clean up the areas in G7 distinct bits of geographical territory.—New York Press. The Gamin’s Advice. It was in Piccadilly that the fair mo tor driver could not make her mag nificent car go. It spluttered, it pant- j ed, it throbbed, it blocked the traffic and drew a huge hilarious crowd. The lady—pretty and young to boot— drew various levers, patted numerous pedals, blushed furiously. Still th# car would not budge. Suddenly a small voice piped out, “Fhit annuver penny in, lidy,” and the crowd laughed.— Sheffield Telegraph. A Fetching Echo. At the American Bar Association's banquet at Narragansett, Hector Law rence, of Duluth, said, apropos cf tact: "Tact often goes a great way in a case. I know a man who defended an old fellow charged with stealing an armful of wood. “The judge was very deaf and had a habit of talking to himself. Some times, unconsciouslv, he talked to him- jseW in a pretty loud tone. “Now, in this case, when the prose cutor took the stand and identified his stolen wood with great positive ness, the Judge asked himself in a louder key than he was aware of: “How can he identify this wood when one stick is as much like an other stick as one egg is like an other?’ “The tactful lawyer for the defence rose immediately. “ ‘Your Honor,’ he exclaimed, pas sionately, ‘how can this witness iden tify his wood so positively when one stick is as much like another stick as one egg Is like another?’ “The Judge turned to the jury with a great start. " ‘Gentlemen,’ he said, ‘you will acquit the prisoner. That very thought flashed through my head the moment before the words were spoken by the learned counsel for the defense. Yes, you will acquit the prisoner, gentle men. I consider this a direct inter position of Providence.’ ”—Minneapo lis Journal. Doctors Must Know Tastes. “Do doctors know how their own medicine tastes?” was a question put to a group of physicians. “To be *ure,” said one, “but we have hard work to convince our pa tients that we do. ‘If you only knew how this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you wouldn't ask me to take it,’ is the complaint they make when dozed with an especially disagreeable con coction. And they are hard-headed people, too, who say that—people who are by no means laving In delirium. No matter how sincerely I may pro test it is hard to persuade them that I do know how the stuff tastes just as well as they do. ‘“How did you find out about it?’ is one of their trump questions. ‘You have never been laid tip with t*ll the diseases in the dictionary. How did you learn what the different rem edies taste like?’ “It never occurs to the average patient that tasting drugs is a part of a medical student's education, and that no man is qualified to practice until he has learned tTie flavor of the medicines he prescribes.”—New York Press.

NEW FOOD LAW People now demand the right to know exactly what they eat. To be told by maker or retailer that the food is “pure” is not satisfactory. Candy may contain “pure” white clay or “pure” dyes and yet be very barm ful. Syrups may contain “pure” glu cose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a small amount of salicylic or boracic acid as a necessary preserva tive. which may agree with one and be harmful to another. Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn flour and really be improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet aud yet be nutritious. The person who buys and eats must protect himself and family, and he has a right to, and now demands, a law under which he can make intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills have been in troduced and some passed by State legislatures; many have been offered to Congress, but all thus far seem ob jectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and prevent endless trouble to retailers. No government commission or officer has the right to flr “food standards” to de fine what the people shall and shall not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of his per sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have nat urally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors, (the retail grocerl si~ 1 gnidf>d by thi<i have prepared a bin for submission to Congress which is intended to accom plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State it is deemed proper that the gov’t take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the States. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxed or otherwise. Sec. 2 governs the retailer, who may open a barrel aud sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also enclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg. and inasmuch as the re tailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers aud add his own name aud address as a guarantee of his selling the food ns it is represented to him which relieves the retailer of responsibility of tbe truth of tbe statement and throws it upon tbe maker, where it properly be longs. The remaining sections explain them selves. The Postum Cereal Co.. I.td., for ex ample, have from the beginning of it« existence printed on the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape- Nuts food a truthful aud exact state ment of what tbe contents were made of in order that the consumer might know precisely what ho or she was eat ing. A person desiring to buy, for in stance. strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost but a further right to certainty as to what be eats. Or be may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly made part of fruit juices, sugar and a portion of glucose. But be must be supplied with truthful information of tbe ingre dients and be permitted to use his per sonal liberty to select his own food accurately Tbe people have allowed tbe slow murder of infants and adults, by tricky makers of food, drink and drugs to go on about long enough. Duly to oneself, family aud nation demands that every man and woman join in an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able to go per sonally to Washington to impress your Congressman, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represeut you. Remember tbe Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district aud if a goodly number ot citizens express their views to him, he secures a very sure guide to duty. Re member also that the safety of tin. people is assured by insisting that tbe will of the people be carried out, ami not the machinations of the few for selfish interests. This pure food legislation is a pure movement of the people for public pro tection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by de ceiving and injuring tbe people. There fore, if your Representative in Con gress evades his patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability and if necessary demand equitable and honest service. This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legisla tion of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to kill tbe oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class leg islation really unworthy of a free peo ple. Work people wanted beef suet butter because it was cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but tbe dairy interests organized and forced tbe legislation. Tbe law should have pro vided that pkgs. of oleomargarine bear the statement of ingredients and then let people who desire purchase It for just what it is, aud not try to kill it by a heavy tax. Manufacturers some times try to force measures iu their own interests but contrary to the in terests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in tbe interest of that trust but directly contrary to the interests of tbe people as a whole. Witness Hie anti- injunction bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to re strain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill is perhaps the most infam ous insult to our courts and the com mon people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acts relating thereto. But when bills come before Congress that are drawn In the interest of all the people they should receive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Senators also should be written to and instructed. ‘If. there fore, you will remember your privilege and duty you will at once—now—write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip and enclose the copy herewith presented and ask them to make a business of following it through the committee considering it. Urge its being brought to a vote aud requesting that they vote for it. Some oppressively intelligent and carping critics may say this is simply au advertisement for Postum and Grape-Nuts. It is true that these ar ticles are spoken of here in a publid manner, but they are used as illus trations of a manufacturer seeking' by example, printing on each pkg. a truthful, exact statement of ingredi ents. to shame other makers into doing the fair thing by the common people, and establishing an era of pure food, but that procedure has not yet forced those who adulterate and deceive to change their methods heftce this ef fort to arouse public sentiment and show a way out of the present condi tion of fraud, deceit and harm. The undersigned is paying to the publishers of America about $20,000.00 to print this announcement in practi cally all of the great papers and mag azines, In the conduct of what he chooses to term, “an educational cam paign,” esteemed to be of greater di rect value to the people than the establishment of many libraries. That is held to be a worthy method of using money for the public good, Tell the people facts, show them a way to> help themselves and rely upon them to act intelligently and effectively. The reader will be freely forgiven If he entirely forgets the reference to Postum and Grape-Nuts, If he will but join the pure food movement and do things. 1 C. W. POST.
