A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so. for we are given a thing called St TW?P f 5 r O tUnt el?rvnl/l ? ...v tuuv diiuiiiu tiuiue us iis hi what the system needs at any time and can digest. But v.-e get in a hurry, swallow our ' food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are? indigestion and its accompanying mistries. A Phila. lady said: "My husband and 1 have been sick and nervous tor 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee?feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure.

We referred recently to the concrete hotbeds now built by florists and vegetable growers. The following directions are given for a four-sash bed, which of course could be extended to any length desired. A standard hotbed sash is three by six feet. Lay ,..i? tk? K-.l ..J _ t * -1 ?V..

Pig the foundation trenches two feet six inches deep within the lines given above. Make forms of one-inch lumber to carry the south (front) wall six inches and the north (back) wall 14 inches above ground, says the Rural New Yorker. Forms are not required below ground level. The tops of the end walls slope to the others. Before tilling the forms with concrete test the dimensions of the bed by means of the sash. See that the sash lap the forms two inches on all sides. Mix the concrete mushy wet in the proportion of one hag of cement to 2V4 cubic feet of sand to Five cubic fe?t of crushed rock, or one bag of cement to five cubic feet of bank-run gravel. Fill the forms without stopping for anything. Tie the walls together at the corners by laying in them old iron rods bent to riglu an ffl ^ ^ ^ " J Frame Grooved for Sash. gles. While placing the concrete net tg inch bolts about two feet apart to bold the wooden top-framing of the bed to the concrete; or tnalte grooves in the top of the concrete for countersinking the sash to the level of the walls with ati allowance of one-quarter inch lor clearance. This can be done by temporarily imbedding in the; concrete wooden strips of the necessary dimensions. During this operation, by means of blocks nailed to the strips, make provision for the center bars described below. Remove the strips as soon as the concrete stiffens. Take down the forms after five days. The ? xtra 2% inches in length of the bed is allowance for the three center bars between (he sash. These sash supports are of dressed one-inch stuff. sua pen line a capital i turned tipBide down The length of the stem of the "T" is equal to the thickness of the ausli and the top is three inches wide. Sufllcient materials for the concrete will be supplied by 14 hags of cement, 1*4 cubic yards of sand and 2l/j cubic yards of crushed rock , or 14 bags of cement and yards of pit gravel at a cost of $10. PAYS TO FERTILIZE MEADOW, Increase in the Yield of Hay Estimated From Three-Quarters to One Ton Per Acre. Several years ago when cutting hay next to a patch of wheat in the same field, i. e., there was no fence b? tween. I noticed that the hay adjoining the wheat was much heavier in widths of a drill than elsewhere, writes F. P. Gerlaeh in the Michigan Farmer: In fact, there was so much difference that I began to study out the reason, which explained itself simply enough. In drilling the wheat the fall hefore with 250 pounds of 2:8:2 fertilizer per acre, and running the drill out on the meadow, there would he from two to four feet of meadow fertilized while in going back the drill would not he net in sear until at the edge of the wheat field, consequently every other width of the drill would show a marvelous difference in the grass. This set me to thinking that it would be a good investment to for tilize meadows, and the following fall I fertilized five acres with the same result, raisfrm the disks and drilling the fertilizer over the top. and since then we have been doing so. and I am satisfied we harvest from threequarters to one ton of liay per acre more where we use the tertilizer The fertilizer ran be sown late in the fall before the snow covers the ground, or in the early spring. Success With Cattle. Said Prof. J. M. Truman, of the State Agricultural college: "If success has been obtained in one breed of cattle, stick to that, breed." President VV. 11. Lee advises that the summer silos should largely take the place of the pastures after June, lie predicted a great increase in the average grain yield and in the culture of alfalfa He thought that many farmers in remote districts would do better in raising good cows to sell than shipping inilk. "ream or butter. Egg Yield and the Feed. The egg yield can be controlled by the feed and manner of feeding When fresh-laid eggs have an offensive odor when broken or cooked, it is time to examine the quality of food the hens are getting. Onions, fish, manure piles and the like have a strong tendency to cause a bad smell and flavor In eggs. Diseased Trees. It Is well to remember that the old and diseased trees not only take tip valuable space in the orchard, but they are liable to spread disease among the healthy trees and they always harbor pests that are injurious to the entire orchard. n a \ CARE NEEDED FOR HARNESS Before Applying Oil Thoroughly Wash and Free It From Sweat and Dirt?Use Ivory Black. First thoroughly wash the harness to free it from sweat and dirt. Perhaps the easiest way to accomplish this is to take the harness to pieces and soak it over night in strong soapsuds. having the water as warm as is vuiuiunaoie to noia tne nand in when j the harness is first put in. If too hot it will scald the leather. When taken out in the morning, most of the dirt is gone, and a little rubbing with a coarse rag will remove the spots that did not soak off. Xeatsfoot oil is. in the long run. the cheapest oil for oiling leather of any kind, and especially harness. nR It is exposed to the action of dirt, sweat and very often is out in the rain. if the harness is not very dry. a half gallon of oil will bu enough for an ordinary set of double harness, though sometimes harness is so dry that a gallon would he none too much. A nickel's worth of ivory black will give a color and polish to the leather if it l?e mivort w?n ?:?i. the oil before using. Ho sure to get ivory-black ami not lamp-black, ns the latter rubs off badly. Have the oil warm, and as you take the straps out of the water run them a few times through the oil. wipe off with a rag and bang up to dry If not then soft enough, repeat the operation. Treat your harness in this way. and it looks like new. and if it is oiled about three times a year it will outlast three or four sets that never receive any oil. It is an old saying that "five nilings equal a new harness." DYNAMO OF COUNTRY HOUSfc Electric Power foe Lighting. Heating and Cooking Derived From an Ordinary Automobile.

Marketing the Product. In marketing pork, like In market ing the rest of the farm products, there are often good reasons for sell ing on foot and allowing the various middlemen to do the distributing even if they do take good-sized toll. Put tnany farmers are so situated that iu<\. ran aim uo ream mr consumer directly, and if they possess any "got up" can make good money by selling directly to the consumer. There are many dairymen who market their t?utter directly and as the fall approaches start marketing pork Gestation Period of Ewes. The gestation period of the ewe. or the time she carries her iambs, is be iween 145 and 150 days on the nverage. Kwes bred in the middle of October are due to lamb in the middle of March -a good time for Iambs to come if good shelter is available If shelter is poor, however, it is better for the larnbs to come the last of March. A tried ram is of great value in insuring the time for the lambs to arrive. It is a great disappointment to have lainbs coining for a period of six weeks. Sheep on Rough Lands. Some rough $15 to $20 land in th* eastern states is being stocked w ith western sheep. The east produces hut a small shares of its meat and prospects are good for mutton prices that will give to the grower a lair profit, if dogs do not become trouble some these lands should show pood returns to investors who understand the business. Seed Potatoes. More care than is usually given h\ producers is becoming necessary for seed potatoes and now at storing time this attention can best be given. Select medium-sized tubers, the smoothest type, and store in a eool, dry place where the temperature does not vary too greatly. Humus Is Necessary.
