UTILIZING CORN FODDER. The Best Way Is to Cut It Up Into Short Lengths. It is desirable to utilize all the food value there is in the corn fodder, though the usual way of feeding it to the stock is n very wasteful method. Where the daily supply of fodder is thrown in the barn yard at feeding time, what the cattle do not eat is trampled down and destroyed so far as the feeding value is concerned. The leaves and the stock are all stock ■will eat. From one-third to one-half the length of the fodder is readily eaten in racks without cutting. When the stalks are heavy, coarse and hard, the upper half may be cut for feed •with a sharp broad axe and heavy block if but a few cattle are fed. For a larger herd, says a correspondent of Farm and Home, we have adopted a large shearing knife, home mude, {h. , V PLAD£_ =: c r = 3 iIL et - Home Made Corn Stock Cutter. Trbich soon nhcnrs cnoucb for a day's feeding. The cutting kn'fo or shcnra is best made from an old blade of a cross cut saw. After the handles have been removed, get a stout piece of iron, a, about eight inches long and one and one-fourth inches thick. Have about five inches of this slit up to receive the back of the saw. Punch holes through both and rivet together. Near the end of this iron have a hole drilled or run an eye on It to receive a string bolt. Rivet a strong handle on the other end, as shown at c, long enough to give a good leverage, say two and one-half to three feet. Grind the blade down to a good, sharp cutting edge, attach the cutter at d to a strong post or upright so it will have plenty of swing. Put a heavy block underneath and it is ready to cut or shear the bundles as they are fed by a boy. or man. TOMATOES AS A FIELD CROP. The Kind of Soil That Is Best and Its Preparation. This crop is more profitably grown on good clay subsoil or low lands bor dering on our bays and rivers. The seed should be selected by every grower. Sow the first seed about the middle of April, in well prepared soil, where the tomato plant has not been grown for five years at least. Spray plants in the bed three times with Bordeaux mixture. This will help the first blossoms to resist the blight; if they do not drop, you are pretty sure of a crop. A sod field of scarlet or crimson clover covered in the winter with 10 loads of manure per acre, plowed un der in April and kept well harrowed, should be used. Mark out rows four feet with plow, sow down these rows 600 pounds per acre of phosphate com posed of four per cent ammonia, nine per cent phosphoric acid, ten per cent potash. Then cover and mark rows crosswise with light marker four feet; give shallow cultivation and plenty of it when the vines are not wet with dew or rain, up to the time they begin to ripen. Early tomatoes require hotbeds and cold frames to grow the plants to a strong, stocky condition, with blos soms set before transplanting to field. Light, high, warm soil, with not so much vegetable matter, is the best. Mark rows three, feet each way and drop half a small shovelful of well composted manure in hill. Set your plants with as much dirt as will hold to them in this manure and culti vate well. A little nitrate of soda around the plants after they start to grow is helpful. Pull off the poor, knotty or specked tomatoes as they ripen. Never wait for a season of rain, says Farm and Home, but set your plants when ground it dry, sun is hot and nights warm. By pouring a little water around each plant, small, fibrous roots will start from the plant the first night they are set, wheu ground is warm. r „ > GARDEN NOTES. Look over the garden tools and get tnem in condition for the spring work. Guinea hens are notorious bug catchers, and the orchards is a good place for them to roam. Examine the cherry and plum trees now, and if you find that you over looked any of those black knots re move them. A great deal of crowding and waste of growth can be prevented by rubbing off all imperfect shoots while they are yet in the bud. If you haven't a shed in which to store manure, the best way to dispose of it is to haul it out to the garden and scatter it where most needed. Many farmers make a lot of plans In the winter time, but when spring comes they forget all about them. Plans are no good unless they are executed. Afier cutting off a limb of any con siderable size the wound should bo Immediately painted to prevent decay and the growth of fungus. White lead makes as good a protection as any. HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE. Left Thousands of Veterans with Kid ney Troubles. The experience of David W. Martin, a retired merchant of Bolivar, Mo., is just like thous £ands of others. Mr. Martin says; "I think I have had kidney dis ease ever since the war. During an engagement my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring the kidneys. I have been told I had a floating kidney. I had intense pain In the back, headaches and dizzy spells and the action of the bladder was very irregular. About three years ago I tried Doan's Kidney Pills, and found such great relief that I continued, and inside a comparatively short time was entirely rid of kidney trouble."

Senator Pettus was a lieutenant In the Mexican war; he rode horseback to California with the "forty-niners" and was advanced from the rank of major to that of brigadier general in the confederate army. He was ad mitted to the bar at Oalnsvlile, Ala., when he became 21 years of age. At this time Texas was an Independent republic, California was a part of Mexico and Great Britain was disput ing the American claim to the Oregon country.

The Evolved Product of Centuries of Invention. The point of a needle is a very im portant part of that useful little in strument, and there are many points about needles calculated to interest the general public. The daily con sumption of needles all over the world Is something like 3,000,000, while every year the women of the United States break, lose and use some 300,- 000,000 of those tiny tools. Few peo ple while threading a needle have ever given a thought to the various processes through which the wire must pass before it comes out a needle. Yet the manufacture of needles includes some 21 different processes from cutting the wire and threading the double needles by the eyes to separating the two needles on the one length of wire, heading, hard ening in oil, cleaning out the sides of the eye, point-setting, and final pol ishing. For wrapping purple paper is used, since it prevents rusting. There are many sorts of needles, for sur geons', cooks', glovemakers', weavers', saiimakers', broommakers', milliners' and dressmakers' use. The needle Is the evolved product of centuries of invention. In its primitive form it was made of bone, ivory, or wood. Point by point its manufacture has improved, until this little but not in significant instrument is now one of the highly-finished products of twen tieth century machinery and skill.— Zion's Herald. A FRIEND'S TIP. 70-Year-Old M?p NpttQP pid to Accept "a Food Pointer. "For the last 20 years," Writes a Maine man, "I've been troubled with Dyspepsia and liver complaint, and have tried about every known remedy without much in the way of results until I took up the food question. "A friend recommended Grape-Nuts food, after I had taken all sorts of medicines with only occasional, tem porary relief. "This was about nine months ago, and I began the Grape-Nuts for break fast with cream and a little sugar. Since then I have had the food for at least one meal a day, usually for breakfast. "Words fall to express the benefit I received from the use of Grape-Nuts. My stomach is' almost entirely free from pain and my liver complaint Is about cured, I have gained flesh, sleep well can eat nearly any kind of food except greasy, starchy things and am strong and healthy at the age of 70 years.

A COUNTRY OF NEVER-FAILING CROPS The Gulf Coast of Texas Is a World- Beaterl Raymondvllle, Tex., Feb. 19, This town is in the central part of Cameron County, Texas, which county lies along the Gulf Coast and is bor dered by the Rio Grande River on the south. The St. Louis, Urownsville & Mexico Railway traverses the county from north to south. At Raymondvllle last spring a field of corn attained a height of eight feet without rain or irrigation, simply from the moisture that was stored in the 8011. After that it required irrigating. In Cameron County, Texas, the ears are setting on the stalks when the lowa farmer is planting his crop. "Roasting ears" are in the market in that region in the early spring, as well as in the late fall, and at Christmas tide. Take alfalfa, also: The Northern farmer who is satisfied with three or four cuttings a year from his alfalfa field will hardly believe even the con servative facts about alfalfa in Camer on County, Texas. Here the farmer harvests seven or eight cuttings in the first year. Sugar cane, as Is generally known, is grown by planting the stalks them selves in furrows, but this does not have to be done every year. In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas a single planting will last for eight or ten years. Another point: Rio Grand® eano contains about thirty per cent, more sugar than that of other locali ties. It was this fact that won the gold medal at the St. Louis Exposi tion for cane from the Closner plan tation, near Hidalgo, Texas, which is fifty miles above Brownsville.

"Yes," returned the woman, "she doesn't seem to see us now, does she?" "The next time she comes to us with her tale of woe," affirmed the girl severely, "she won't see us, if we catch a glimpse of her first" VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. Suffered Three Years—Physicians Did No Good—Perfectly Well After Using Cuticura Remedies. "I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am prefectly well, the disease having left me entirely. I cannot recommend the Cuticura Remedies too highly to any one suffering with the disease that I have had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, 111., October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S.

Albert Merritt was for three years a member of the New Jersey State Senate, was a Presiden tial Elector, and is now Treasurer and General Manager of the Consolidated Bag Co., of 150 Nassau street, New York City. In 1882 he suffered severe ly from urinary and digestive trouble. He was sick from "head to foot." He was advised to use Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy and IT CURED HIM ABSOLUTELY. He said at that time: "Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy is honestly entitled to the UNDIVIDED CREDIT OF IT. It went to the very root and source of my trouble." Now, in 1906 (24 years after), Mr. Merritt writes that his health still CONTINUES VERY GOOD, and says:"l cannot say too much in praise of Favorite Rem edy. It is certainly a wonderful medi cine." ITis cure was a permanent one. There are thousands of others who have been cured by Favorite Remedy years ago, and they stay cured. Largo bottles SI.OO, at all druggists. FREE SAMPLE BOTTLES.

Agt .'-Sl Chemical Pldg ,Bt Louii,Mo AILING WOMEN How Many Perfectly Well Women Do You Know ? "I am not feeling very well," "I am so nervous it seems as though I should fly." "My back aches as though it would break." How often do you hear these signi ficant expressions from women friends. More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and there is a cause. More than thirty years ago Lydia E. Pinkhamof Lynn, Mass. discovered the source of nearly all the suffering endured by her sex. '"Woman's Ills," these two words are full of more misery to women than any other two words that can be found in the English language. Sudden fainting, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing down sensations, displacements and irregularities are the bane of woman's existence. The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pink* ham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs holds the record for a greater number of absolute cures of female ills than any other one remedy the world has ever known and it is the greatest blessing which ever came into the lives of suffering women. Don't try to endure, but cure the cause of all your suffering. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.
