COMPRESSED AIR SERVICE.
Suggestion for Securing Running
Wst»r in the Farm House.
A farmer of Milton, Ind., thinks
that he has invented a novel and
superior form of compressed air water
service system. As water in wells is
o.ften found within slight distance
from the surface, from 12 to MO feet,
he would dig the well of good size
and immerse an air-tight reservoir
directly in the water. This would till
by mc.ely opening a valve, and the
water he would force out by pumping
air into the reservoir. The air pump
could be located anywhere and con-

•ecUd by small pipe. Wind or gaso
ne would work the pumps. He pre>
en's a diagram of the idea.
Doubtless this would work quite
veil, remarks Breeders' Gazette. In
>rdcr to have a continuous flow oi
water there should lie two of these
reservoirs, and if above them there
was a separa'e : . serveir fcr com
pressed air, all the better, since tht
windmill would not always operate
The main difficulties are two: it if
costly to open a large well and most
modern wells are drilled ones, and ai:
Is not a real easy thing to pump with
i windmill, since a slow motion is
ery wasteful in operating an ait
lump. As a matter of fact, a great
Jeal cf thought and experiment has
oeen expended on this and similai
problems, and thus far little usf
seems to have been made of the idea
DRAGGING ROADS.
Points Which Must Ee Rememberec
to Do Gccd Work.
The following points are to be born<
n mind in dragging a road:
Make a light drag, which is haulcc
ver the road at an angle so that •<
small amount of earth is pushed to th<
center of the road.
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re
turning on the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after ever;
tin as possible, but not when th<
iud is in such a condition as to sticl
i the drag.
Do not drag a dry read.
Drag whenever possible at all sen
sons of the year. If u read is draggec
Immediately before a cold spell it wii
freeze in a smooth condition.
The width of traveled way to bf
maintained by the drag should b(
from !£■ to 20 feet: first drag a littH
more than the width of a single wliee
track, then gradually increase until th<
desired width is obtained.
Always drag a little earth towarr
'he (112 ntcr of the road until it is ralsec
,'roni ten to twelve inches above the
edge ' 112 the traveled way.

FARM NOTES.
Nail a leather strap to the side o
the wagon box to hold an ax and al
ways keep one there.
The best tools are the cheapest, th<
best stock is the most profitable am
the highest fertilization and cultiva
tion will bring the largest crops.
The meadows and pastures, as wel
as the growing wheat, arc often bene
fited by rolling well in the spring aft
'r the frost is out of the ground.
Ey cleaning up the farm you will in
crease its value, and when it i
cleaned and cleared it will cultivate
more easily and cheaply and give lai
ger returns.
When you have finished plowinj
clean the dirt from your plow am
jrease all the wearing parts with ax!'
grease. Smear it on with a rag am
be sure to leave no spots untouched

CORN CROWING.
Stir the Soil and Kill the Weeds in
Eetween the Rows.
I "ive made it a somewhat firm
and last rule not to plant corn un
til th> t-oil is good and warm, writes
a Mis. Uiri correspondent of Orange
Judd Farmer. This gives Immediate
and rapid germination, bringing t lie
corn up at once, and in that way
saves the injuries that often result
from too earl> planting, by mice and
insects working on the seed. It. is
my judgment that the early planting
has more to commend it to the corn
grower than late planting, yet as
staled above this is a matter wholly
to be regulated by the individual op
erator.
I have secured my very best stands
by getting the planter just deep
enough to cover the corn well. If the
ground is real dry, deeper planting is
advisable, three or even four inches
not being considered too deep.
Now for the cultivation. There is a
maxim in the, commercial world that
well bought is half sold. So it may
be said, if the corn grower does his
duty to the corn plant before it ap
pears above ground, his battle is hall
won. I like to cultivate, so to speak,
at least twice before the corn comes
up. By so doing 1 accomplish some of
the many purposes of cultivation. You
kill the sprouted weed seeds, aerate
the soil, hasten the warming up of ihe
seidbed and increase .t,,ur chancos for
s good stand.
I hkt togo over the land twice and
leave it in fine shape fo- the first go
ing over v ith the six-sho\tl cultiva
tor. Twice over with the. smoothing
harrow wi'.t <io this very nicely. Now
remove the large shovel next to the
row and put on the long, narrow bull
tongue and with a quiet, slow-walking
team you can get right up to the little
plants and give the little corn a reg
ular hoeing. You can also go deep
this time, without effecting root prun
ing, a thing to be studiously avoided
ever after.
I like to cultivate four or five times,
depending upon the season, and the
rapidity of the growth of the plants.
While I am an ardent and an un
wavering advocate of shallow cultiva
ticn, vet I know from my own experi
ence that there are times when you
must cultivate deep. When the sea
son has been wet and you have been
kept out of the field until the weeds
are numerous and lusty, you must
plow deep, for you will need dirt and
much dirt to cover these weeds, and
dceji plowing is the only way to get
the dirt. Ordinarily, 1 practice shal-
I'jV.' cultivation, for, I believe it to be
better for the crop and 1 know it is
much easier on the teams. Especially
do I l'ke level cultivation the last
time going over the field.
Some of the very best yields I have
ever had. I have goc- on the land im
mediately after harvesting the corn
and sowed to timothy with no other
preparation if the seedbed than two
harrowings with a smoothing harrow,
securing a splendid stand of grass on
an ideal bottom or surface. I merely
speak of this so as to give the reader
some idea as to how level I try to
le::ve the land at the last cultivation.
If you ridge your land andadiought
follows, the ground is just right to dry
out and injure the crop.
Keep weeds down, for remember
that they consume the soil mosture
as well as plant food. They are no re
specter of persons and they will have
their share of these things though
the corn plant languish and die. There
is an idea held by some that the
excrement of weeds is highly poison
ous to the corn plant, and for this, i!
for no other reason, they should not
be allowed to grow.
NEW ROAD DRAG.
One Which Is Said to De Superior to
Split Leg Drag.
The Home and Farm gives a new
plan for a road drag: This road drag
is superior to any drag that I have
ever seen. The front piece consists
of a four by four oak s! rip. b, ten feet
long, through which are driven ordi-

nary harrow teeth about three inches
apart. This is attached to the
rear piece, a, which is a two
by six oak timber ten feet long faced
with thret inches of one-quarter-inch
metal on the bottom, e, which projects
one inch. These pieces are kept
apart by wood; n blocks, d, upon the
bolts, 112, and by the top strips, c, each
two by six. This makes a fine level
ro.ul as it harrows it and scrapes it
at. the saint lime.
Lima Beans.
T,iinu beans need a long season, liy
this the pole Lima is meant. There
are bush Limas which grow more
quickly, but they are not productive,
ii dots not need many niils of pole
Limas to supply a family and the
bi'ins are delicious. The yield which
may be obtained by good treatment
is surprising. They may be started
early in a cold frame by planting on
inverted sods, but this is not always
a convenient way of doing. The cold
frame is needed for other purposes
and it is expensive to provide one lor
tliis use alone.

"Lawyer Hummel entertained us

"Hummel had one night In the

" 'There's nothing like our German

that,' the German boasted, and his
face, all slashed from corps duels,
beamed with pride.
" 'No, you're right,' said Hummel. 'I

in the students' sitting room a waiter

Because, sir. if you don't," said

State Pride.
There recently entered the offices of
the civil service commission at Wash
ington a dashing young darky of per
haps 20 years of age, who announced
to the official who received him that
he desired to "get papers for an exam
ination."
"From what state are you?" was the
question put.
The negro drew himself up proudly.
"I am from the first state of the
union, sir," he replied.
"New York?"
"No, sir; Alabama."
"But," protested the official, with a
smile, "Alabama is not the first state
in the union."
"Alphabetically speaking, sir; alpha
betically speaking," said the negro.
Not Time's Slave.
A traveler, finding that he had a
couple of hours in Dublin, called a
cab and told the driver to drive him
around .'or two hours. At first all went
well, but soon the driver began to
whip up his horse so that they nar
rowly escaped several collisions.
"What's the matter?" demanded the
passenger. "Why are you driving so
recklessly? I'm in no hurry."
'Ah, g'wan wid yez," retorted the
cabby. "D'ye think I'm goin' to put

DR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board of Health.
"What shall I eat?" is the daily ln
qniry the physician is met with. Ido
not hesitate to say that in my judg
ment a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp
erly prepared food. My personal expe
rience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
"Prom overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
♦lie heart and loss of sleep. Last sum
mer I was led to experiment person
ally with the new food, which I used
in conjunction with good rich cow's
milk. In a short time after I com
menced its use, the disagreeable symp
toms disappeared, my heart's action
became steady and normal, the func
tions of the stomach were properly
carried out and I i'gain slcyt as sound
ly and as well as in my youth.
"I look upon Grape-Nuts as a per
fect food, and no one can gainsay but
that it has a most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system of feed
ing. Any one who uses this food will
soon be convinced of the soundness of
the principle upon which it is manu
factured and may thereby know the
facts as to its true worth." Bead "Th'j

Don't Poison Baby.
prORTY TEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
■ PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
sleep, and A PEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP PROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKENG. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has hcen ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, eacli
of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is s "A medicine which relieves pain
and produces sleep, but which in poisonou s doses produces stupor, coma, convul
sions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names of " Drops," " Cordials," " Soothing Syrups," etc. You.
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or
your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CON
