GETTING A SUPPLY OF FUEL.
Borne Suggestions 33 to Method*
Which Will Make the Work Easy.
We have tried several ways of
getting up the year's supply of fuel,
but have finally settled on the fol
lowing plan, says a writer in Orange
Judd Farmer. Fell the trees on the
ground with a small sapling tinder, so
a log chain can be passed beneath.
Fig. I.—Logging Bob.
Then a logging bob (Fig. 1) is tipped
up on its side near the largo end of
the log; a chain is hooked to the
bolster near the ground, passed under
the log and over the top runner of the
bob and the team hitched to the end
of the chain. A quick pull of the team
and the bob comes down on both run
ners, with the log on top of the bol
ster.
The log Is now drawn to some shel
tered place near the woodhouse and
sawed into stove lengths with a 6-inch
crosscut saw on the skidway shown in
Fig. 2. The limbs are trimmed in the

woods, drawn on a pair of bobs to
the shop, where we have a three
horse power boiler and two-horse pow
er engine, and are sawed at the rate
of cord an hour with a buzz saw.
A handy device can be made of two
crotched limbs, as shown in Fig. 3, to
saw large limbs on. A 2-inch auger

hole is bored where the limbs branch,
and a hardwood limb driven tightly
In the hole.
We had a large number of trees
blown over several years ago, leaving
a mass of earth and roots on the
stumps. Most of the trees were too
far from the ground to saw. We
found the following described device
(Fig. 4) very handy to hold and low
er the trees after sawing the stump
AA, planks with holes bored in
them; B, log; C, chain; D, crotched
limb; EE, lever; FF, iron pins,
off. It is made of two hardwood
planks about Bxs inches and 1V&
inch thick, bolted together at the
top and bottom, with a 2-inch space
between for the lever to work in. One-
Inch holes are bored through the sides
of both planks, in which iron pins are
placed for the lever to pry over. The
lever is made of white ash, and has
two notches near the large end, with

a chain link attached midway be
tween notches. A stout log chain is
hooked in the link, passed under the
log, and attached to a crotched limb
leaning slightly against the opposite
side of the log. By working the small
end of the lever up and down and
moving the pins up one hole at a time,
a good sized tree can be raised from
the ground high enough to be sawed
tasily without a backache.
ALL AROUND THE FARM.
Corn following a poor stand of al
falfa gave 11 bushels per acre moro
than the check test in some AlabamA
experiments.
Make a good work bench this win
ter.
You never can entirely rid your
saw of rust if once it gets a hold on
the steel. So keep It off, if you wish
to have nice bright saws.
Let all useless fences go; can't af
ford to keep them.
A little brain work during this win
ter will be a saving for leg work next
summer.
Prepare for the spraying campaign.
If you haven't a good pump and at
tachments, better order the necessary
outfit soon.
If it is wrong for a man to have
a diseased cow in his herd, why should
it not be considered just as much so
to let a tree covered with insect pests,
or affected with some bad disease, sta»
the orchard?
OPTEN THE CASE,
Women Struggle Hopelessly Along,
Suffering Backache, Dizzy Spells,
Languor, Etc.
Women have so much togo through
in life that it's a pity there is so much
suffering from back
dizzy spells, head
aches, and a feeling of languor. Part
of the time I could not attend to my
work and irregularity of the kidney
secretions was annoying. Doan's Kid
ney Pills brought me prompt relief."

ONE THING AT A TIME.
"Have you noticed that the baroness
never talks about other women?"
"How could she? She is all the
time talking about herself."
SKIN ERUPTION CURED.
Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful
That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep
—Scratched Constantly.
Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven.
"When about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. It
began in October; the first I noticed
was a little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then I bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

A Slight Misunderstanding.
Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles,
aged five, dearly loves her grandma,
who has been living with her and her
parents. Recently grandma went to
Seattle for a visit, and caught cold
on the way. When she arrived there,
she wrote back to Helen's parents that
she had reached Seattle, but had had
a hard fight with the grip. Helen
wanted to hear what grandma had to
say, and the letter was read to her.
Soon afterward she saw one of her
neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs.
Smith, we've had a letter from grand
ma. She got to Seattle all right, but
she had a terrible fight with her va
lise."
For the Public Taste.
The following makes a very popular
dish, the usual name given it being
"funny paper." Take three mothers
in-law, two Irishmen, one German
one or two tough kids and a coon;
mix and stir well. A jag is considered
to add flavor. Sprinkle in a little
spice and ginger, and garnish with
drawings. The addition of a pinch of
hardsensc is advisable, though not es
sential. Chestnuts are used for stuff
ing. The dish is usually roasted,
though poaching is not uncommon.—
The Bellman.
Took It Out on the Boy.
"What, you want a dollar for spend
ing money?" exclaimed Mr. Tytea.
"Look here, young man, when I was
a boy my father never gave me a dol
lar to spend foolishly. I was taught
to consider myself lucky if I got a
nickel."
"Well," protested Bobby, "you don't
neiid to jump on me about it. Tell
your troubles to grandpa."
JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.
Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur
suing their way because of love of
their work.
It is a fact that one's food has much
to do with it. As an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or a boiler
Is fired with poor coal, a bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of
health's temple and you will find
"Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the
most nourishing and beneficial you can
use.
We have thousands of testimonials,
real genuine little heart throbs, from
people who simply tried Grape-Nuts
out of curiosity—as a last resort —with
the result that prompted the testimo
nial.
If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
it's worth while to give it a fair impar
tial trial. Remember there are mil
lions eating Grape-Nuts every day—
they know, and we know if you will
use Grape-Nuts every morning your
work is more likely to be joy-work, be
cause you can keep well, and with the
brain well nourished work is a joy.

EVERYTHING WAS FAVORABLE
SORRY HE DIDN'T MOVE TO WEST
ERN CANADA BEFORE.
Mr. Austin was a man who had
never had any previous experience in
farming, but Western Canada had al
lurements, and he profited. He got a
low-rate certificate from a Canadian
Government agent, and then moved.
What he says is interesting:
"Ranfurly, Alberta, May 10-' 08.
"J. N. Grieve, Esqr., Spokane, Wash
ington.—Dear Sir: After a dozen or
more years of unsuccessful effort in
the mercantile business in Western
Washington, in August, 1903, decided
to come to Alberta with a gentleman
who was shipping two cars live stock
to Edmonton. 1 assisted this man
with the stock over one hundred
miles out in the Birch Lake Country,
East of Edmonton. Indeed, how sur
prised, how favorably everything com
pared with my dream of what I want
ed to see in a new country.
"Had never had any experience in
farming, but I was Immediately con
verted into a farmer. And from that
moment I have prospered. Selecting
a homestead near Birch Lake, I re
turned for wife and three small chil
dren and freighted out from Edmonton
in March following year we shoveled
a spot clear of snow and pitched our
tent and commenced operations, at
that lime we had no neighbors. Four
years have passed, the locality is well
settled, two miles from railway sta
tion, with churches and schools, tele-
I phone and good road accommodations.
"We are enjoying the privileges
granted to any rural district in
! Washington. The Birch Lake Coun
| try is no exception, this great trans
formation is rapidly going on in every
j district in Western Canada.
"I estimate that every quarter sec
| tlon in every direction is capable of
producing a comfortable living for a
family of ten forever. After paying
for two horses and a cow, had just
SIO.OO togo on. Did my first plough-
I ing in my life. I was very awkward in
my work, but nature was glad and I was
abundantly paid for my efforts. Our
cattle has increased to about fifty
head, which was very profitable on ac
count of the abundance of forage. To
farm was compelled to buy about four
hundred dollars' worth of farm ma
chinery on time, and the payments fell
due last fall, and you may wonder how
I expected to pay for them when we
had such a bad year. 'Twas a little
bad for Western Canada or for a Mis
sourian. But is not 35 or 40 bushels
j oats a pretty good yield per acre in
many States? Then the price of
1 grain v/ent out of sight, so when I had
| sold my crop I found I was able to
make my payments nicely, besides we
had lots of feed. No one has any busi
ness raising cattle without growing
grain, or vice versa. As to the winters,
did not feed my cattle, excepting the
calves, a fork of hay until in March.
Have fouud the winters much more
; pleasant than we did in Western Wash
| ington. This is strange and hard to
: explain, but 'tis true, nevertheless, at
40 degrees below zero we have more
! comfort than you would at 20 degrees
| above, so still and dry—with bright,
sunny days. My wife says that the
| only regret she has is that we did not
j come here ten years ago, as we would
! now certainly have been in a position
'to retire from hard work. Most wom
en soon become satisfied as neigh
bors begin to come round them.
Have 98 acres in crop this year,
besides two acres potatoes, which
have always brought me a fair
price. We find a ready market for
1 everything we produce. To the Poor
Man —Here is a chance to establish
yourself. To the Rich Man —Here is a
chance to buy land for SIO.OO to $15.00
per acre which will produce more crops
than a half dozen acres of your $50.00
|to $75.00 per acre land. And if not
very much mistaken, this year will
prove an opener to those who are
a little sceptical. The trouble with
me is that 1 have so much to say so
favorable to Alberta 'tis hard to be
brief. Respectfully,
Signed) "P. S. AUSTIN."

RHEUMATI9M PRESCRIPTION
The increased use of "Toris" for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater
nity. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre
dients and taken properly. The fol
lowing formula is effective: "To one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring."
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma
ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.
