Senator Horah of Idaho tells this story of how a psychologist and me diumistic professor was received in a small town in his state: The professor was talking to a young society bud about the possibili ties of the Journeyings of one's soul "Why, my dear young lady," he de> clared, "It Is possible for you in your sleep to travel to other planets in the ' 1 middle of the night." "Oh. professor!" she cried in evident alarm. "Not in my nightgown!" ?The Sunday Magazine. Boy's View of Policemen. A boy's view of policemen is thus quaintly expressed n the examination papers of the Albert Street school, Itulwell, Nottingham, England: "One of our well-known men in the large towns is the policeman; he is a very large man. and looks very smart In his suit of blue. "If he sees a boy who ought to be at school, he tries to catch him and take him to school, where he is punished. "His duties are many. At night he walks quietly down the streets in case there are any robbers. . . . lie carries a l.amp about with him to see where the robber escapes. If the robber hides, he will be traced. The policeman carries a staff, a whistle, and some handcuffs in case he needs them." FOUND A WAY To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles. "Husband and myself both had the coffee habit, and finally his stomach and kidneys got in such a bad condition that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and there didn't seem to be an organ In his body that was not affected. "I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some discussion he decided to give it up. "It was a struggle, because of the powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it ami then it was easy to leave off coffee. "His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and taking up Postum. Then I began to drink it too. "Although 1 was never as bad off as hnnl.M n/1 f ~ uunumiu, i V>raa ?ti vvuya very nervou8 and never at any time very strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before 1 began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as anyone my size. I think." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "Tho Road to Wcllvllle." Postum comes in two forms. Regular Pcstum (must be boiled.) Instant Postum doesn't require boiling, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have It served that way in the future. 'There'# a Reason" for Postum. \ TO RAISE BUCKWHEAT Crop Fills Best in a Rather Cool Season. Make* Good Feed for Almost All Animal* and Ha* Nutritive Ratio of Near One to Seven?Help* Greatly In Ridding of Weed*. (By A. J. LEGO.) Buckwheat is a crop that can be flnwn nnv tlmn nflor fKo Hon froBt is over up to about the first of August, with reasonable success. The buckwheat usually fills best In a rather cool season and in localities where midsummer is very hot it is best to defer sowing the buckwheat until late in the season so as to give from 60 to 70 days for it to mature a crop before frost. Sixty days is sufficient for a crop to make itself usually. The grain makes a good feed for almost all animals und it has a nutritive . ratio of near one to Beven, so it is I a fattening grain. I The bloom of the buckwheat plant | produces much nectar and there will | usually be plenty of bees on hand : during the blooming seuson to gather ; the nectar. In some localities in the eouth. t buckwheat has largely superseded ! the oat crop. Often it is sown after | wheat and thus the farmer is enabled to reap two crops from a field in one ' season instead of allowing his stub ble to grow up to weeds after har 1 vest. The buckwheat crop is a great help ! in ridding the land of weeds as it is ; a rapid grower and keeps the weeds back. If the wheat stubble la^turned and j sowed to buckwheat and clover there . is not much chance for the weeds tc [ mature seeds. ; The soil should be plowed and let settle for two or three weeks before ' the buckwheat is sown. Drill in from three pecks to a bush el of seed with from 125 to 150 pounds ! of good grade acid phosphate pet ; acre with a wheat drill. 1 I ir. ~ 1 * - " ' ii. m n liuuu piuu 10 sow umotny and clover with the buckwheat. - ! Put the timothy seed in the grass i seeder box and mix the clover seed 1j with the fertilizer. The clover seed is thus drilled in j rows and a little below the general i surface of the ground. This protects : the clover from the winter freezing and the soil is in better condition to grow the grass than if It had i j been sown on the wheat lields in thi j spring. HANDY DEVICE FOR FARMERS Maine Man Has Invented Implemenl for Picking Potatoes Intended to Save One's Back. Any farmer will tell you that the ; job of picking potatoes is a back j breaking operation. If you don't be I lieve it try standing with your finger tips touching the tloor for a day or so A man in Maine has invented a pick ing device which renders this stooping unnecessary. The implement has a long handle with a net affixed to one end. Projecting from this net is a I Potato Picking Device. scoop. The net is Jointed to the han die and moves backward and forward Fastened td this bar that holds the net Is J1 mlcf? whloh ii? fff.nl of the receptacle and rakes the tubers into it. As the scoop is shoved along ! in the row the rake is drawn toward it by the same movement and the potatoes scraped into the net as rap idly as they could be collected by hand and much more comfortably. Measuring Stack of Hay. To estimate the weight of a stack ol hay, take the height in feet to th? eaves and add half the height from 1 the eaves to the crown. Multiply the reply by the length in feet, then rnul tiply the width in feet and divide by 27, which gives the contents in cubic yards. New hay will average about 130 pounds to the cubic yard and from 160 to 190 pounds of old hay will be contained in the same cubic area. Measles. Measles Is very common with small pigs. Since It is a contavinn it snrends ! very rapidly when once there is an outbreak In the herd. Sotne of ita more common symptoma are coughing and sneezing.

Small Fruits and Berries, Bird CanI not Be Termed Injurious. (By II. W. WKI8GKRBKU. In the Knrm and Fireside.) I recall one summer afternoon. ! while hoeing in the garden, of having a female catbird fly over the fence and alight on the ground nlmost at my feet and pick up the worms and small insects that she could And. I honestly believe that she was the ( most distressed-looking wild bird that I had ever seen. Whether she had , been sick or had grown thin by brood- I ing the eggs too long, 1 know not; but it hardly could have been the latter case, unless the nest had been des, polled, for she did not carry away any food, but swallowed whatever she found. I stood still, and she came still closer. and 1 then noticed an appealing ( look in her eyes that moved tne to pity the poor creature. It was real pathetic. I stopped my work and let ' j?\ The Catbird. her gnther what food she needed. Poor bird! For who could tell what HAC trouble had been hers? > The catbird has rightly been called Thin the northern mocking-bird; and so it si might well be, for its size, shape and > coloring so nearly resemble its more ' gifted southern cousin that the name Afl well applies.

Hut the ? if anyone doubts the musical ability tG hi i of the catbird, just let him get out I early on some May morning, and all gome i his former doubts will be at rest. pjl B ; Although the catbird sometimes 'ph i does considerable harm by destroying over I small fruits and berries, the bird can- gaid: > not be considered injurious. On the jj,, contrary, in most parts of the country town it does far more good than harm.

The Ontario experiment station Ru I made a series of experiments in test- of ] l ing fertility of eggs, which are in- woul s teresting. They separated ten laying van i hens from the male and placed the ashai eggs in the incuhator each day to test back them. t Tho During the first four days 70 per woul cent, proved fetile, fifth day CI per troul cent., sixth day CO per cent., eighth ured day 12 per cent., ninth day 2 per cent, or mi and tenth day all were infertile. Then ospec they put a male with six laying hens "Tl which had not been with a male, and years tested tho eggs in the same way. good i ney round 30 per cent. fertile on the cura third day, 42 per cent, on tlio fourth decid day. and fifth day 50 per cent., sixth appll day 60 per cent., seventh day 60 per nient cent., eighth day 6S per cent., ninth Omti day 70 per cent, and tenth day 74 like per cent. It would seem that pimp nearly three-fourths of the eggs Df f are fertile four days after the male cured is taken away, or a week after the ell. J male was put in. There would prob- cul ably bo some difference in the males, throu however, and number of hens might free,\ 1 have considerable influence. card' Long-lived Horses.
