FOR FARM AND GARDEN,
ACTUAL COST OF FEEDING COWS
A cow may be well fed for fifteen
tenis a day, and in some cases for
twelve cents. Winter feeding will
cost considerably more, counting the
market value of the fecd—fifteen
pounds of hay and six pounds of meal
is as littlo as a cow in milk should be
fed, and this may be worth twenty.
one cents. For winter dairying only
the best cows should be kept and but.
fer of the best quality only made, other.
wise the food of the cows will not be
paid fori=-[New York Tribune.

It has been found that a rolled soil,

SALT WATER IN THE STABLE.
A most excellent preventive of gall
Is to bathe the shoulders each evening
with strong salt waler, commencing
six weeks before active spring work
begins, and conlinuing the bathing
during the summer. An English

the above for ten years, “In the

THE CHERRY TREES,
Until recently, cherries were ihe

ihey are the wost dificult in many

call the “spotting” discare, which be-
gins ou the leaves, and extends until
the whole tree is stripped of all foli-
age. The shoots around the trees be
tome weak and spindling, and the life
of once fine, hardy trees scems to have
been supped out of them. This dis.
ease is still restricted to certain sec.
lions; but so far no remedy has been
suggested that proves effective.
Even potash around the trees docs

“August
Flower”
This is the query per-
petually on your little
boy's lips. And he is
no worse than the big-
ge older, balder-head-
ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. ‘‘ What is it for?’ we con-
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: "What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR ?'' As easily
answered as asked : It is for Dys-
pepsia. Itis a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothin
more than this; but this brimful,
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. T'wenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
one of the largest manu-
acturing plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. It is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along—it
cures Dyspepsia,
