A NIGHTHARE
Gives point to tho fact that excessive or
irregular eating disturbs tho digestion.
Nightmare or night hag has its day tittle
correspondence In the undue fullness
after eating, with the bolcliings and sour
or bitter rising so often experienced after
too hasty or too hearty eating.
Dr. Pierco's tioldcn Medical Discovery
cures dyspepsia or had stomach. When
the weak stomach is strengthened and
invigorated the whole body shares in tho
increased strength derived from food
properly digested and perfectly assimi
lated.
" I was a victim of sleeplessness and ex
treme nervousness induced t»r chronic indi
gestion and I felt heavy, tired and worn out
continually," writes Miss Mary Mnith. of 1613
No. Walisatch Street. Colorado Springs. Cola
"Dr. l'lerce's Golden Medical Discovery was
the only medicine which relieved me. With
in a week after I began using it that heavy
oppressed feeling after meals had left me.
and I found that 1 was able to sleep better
than for months previously. My appetite
was gradually restored, general syst«m was
toned up. nervousness became a thing of the
past ana I have now been In splendid health
for over nine months."
Sometimes a selfish dealer tempted by
the little more profit paid on the sale of
less meritorious medicines will offer the
customer a substitute as being "Just as
good" as tho "Discovery." It may be
better for him because it pays better, but
it is not as good for you, if you want the
medicine that has cured others, and
which you believe will cure you.

A TOMATO STANDARD.
Br»t Kln tin Have Suiall Seed Cavltle*
and Tliirk Walls.
Farmers will soon be making out
their seed lists, and the varieties of to
matoes to lie grown come up for divi
sion. Early ripening sorts are frequent
ly irregular in shape, have compara- I
tively tliin walls, large s<-ed .-avities
and numerous seeds. The fruit is apt |
to color and ripen unevenly, remaining
green around the stem, or to contain a
hard core. Later ripening sorts, while
uot all superior to the others, have as
a rule thicker and firmer walls, smaller
seed cavities and few seeds.
The most highly developed varieties
uow make few seeds and ripen evenly.
( BOSS SUCTION OF TOMATO.
(Showing the small seed cavities and
thick walls of good shipping sorts.]
These characteristics of the fruits are
Important factors in determining their
fitness for special purposes. Professor
G. C. Corbetj, an authority on horticul
tural matters, says:
Medium sized, smooth, spherical
fruits which ripen t venly and have
small seed cavities and thick walls, as
shown in the accompanying figure, are
especially suited to long distance ship
ment. These qualities should enter Into
every sort selected to the greatest pos
sible degree consistent with earllness,
lateness, heavy yield or any other spe
cial quality which gives the variety a
marked commercial advantage.
FEEDING METHODS.
La rut- Amount of "take" t iie«l by
Ensliali Cattlemen.
The amount of "cake - ' that Is fed to
cattle In England Is astonishing. By
this term is meant what we know as
"cottonseed meal" and "linseed oil
meal." They are usually combined with
other feeds, but may be fed alone, espe
cially during summer. Either or both
are used. This term is strictly applica
ble only to the product In the form in
which it comes from the presses. When
sold on our markets the cake has usual
ly been ground into meal, but for con
venience In exporting this is not usual
ly done until the cake reaches its desti
nation, and In many cases it U merely
broken into small pieces and not
ground. This makes It more conven
ient to feed, especially when It Is
thrown on the grass.
British farmers use large quantities
of nndecortlcated cotton cake, especial
ly in summer feeding. This Is the cake
obtained In the process of oil milling,
where the hulls are not removed from
the seeds. The hulls have a stringent
property which Is found valuable In
counteracting the laxative effect of
grass.
Uiulecortlcated cottonseed ineal is
practically unavailable for American
feeders. The only seed which can be
economically milled without first hav
ing the hulls removed is that to which
no lint u«lheres In ginning. There Is no
Egyptian seed milled in America, and
sea island is a very small factor. As
far as known to the writer all Ameri
can mills remove the hulls as the first
step In the milling process.—W. J. Ken
nedy.
In the I)nal Purpose Cow Needed f
From Chicago comes the report, too
often repeated, that there are uot
enough "good to choice" feeders to
meet the demand, ami quotations are
running from $4 to $4.50 without
bringing out a sufficient supply of this
class of cattle. At the same time com
mon stockers and grass and skim milk
calves are quoted there and at Buffalo
at to $2.00. Most of stuff
appears to come from the dairy dis
tricts and •emphasizes the importance
of dairymen working Into a different
class of cows from those uow held in
many localities.—D. E. Salmon in
Country Gentleman.
Seed Corn Earn.
After the seed corn is thoroughly
Cried out, preferably some time In the
Winter, when farm work Is not crowd
ing, all the ears should be examined
carefully, and a sufficient number of
the very best and largest cars should
be selected to plant next year's crop.
In making this selection the grower
should carefully examine each ear, se
lecting those having deep and well
formed kernels, which will give the
greatest weight of shelled corn per ear.
The Imperfect kernels at the tips and
butts of these selected ears should bo
shelled off and discarded l>efore the
ears are finally shelled for planting.
FertlllziiiK Tobacco.
In fertilizing tobacco at the new Ohio
test farm the greatest total yield and
net profit were produced by a fertilizer
containing nitrogen, phosphoric acid
anil potassium in approximately the
ratio to each other In which they are
found In barnyard manure. The large
quantity of nitrogen required In this
application greatly Increased the cost.
As a carrier of nitrogen nitrate of soda
appeared much more effective than
tankage
WORKING THE FIREWOOD.
With C'roaiscut and Saw* and
Az For Koine or Mnrket.
As a rule, it will be found more eco
nomical when gathering up the homt*
supply of wood or a few cords for
market with crosscut and buck saws
to fit the wood for the stove on tho
spot where the tree falls, says an
American Cultivator writer, who makes
further suggestion In regard to this
work as follows:
At the preri«iit high price of wood
It Is better to use the saw as much as
possible instead of the more wasteful
ax. And tills Is especially true when
cutting a tree down, since by sawing
closer to the ground we can make an
additional saving.
Always begin sawing 11 felled tree
at the stump and before cutting off
the limbs, as they will bold the trunk
steady and also In most cases balunce
it. Continue sawing until you reach
the Jluibs. Then take the ax and cut
o(T a few, draw them across the body
of the tree and trim them. Cut them
Into convenient lengths for the saw
buck. or if small enough cut them with
the ax Into lengths to Ut the stove. Do
the same with all the branches and
make a pile of the brush lxtilnd you.
Throw the sticks Intended for the buck
saw toward the spot where you intend
to make your pile. Keep your work
all cleaned up us fast ns yoti go and
you will gain time In the end.
Do not keep the log trimmed too far
In advance of the saw, because when
working among the limbs a log Is liable
to balance In such a way that It will
rock or roll with each motion of the
saw, and In such cases you will work
at a great disadvantage. Having sawed
the body of the tree, hang up the big
saw and begin with the buck saw. Set
the sawbuck next tho ends of the sticks
aud as have suwed all that
you can conveniently reach move your
buck.
Always plan your position so that
every tline yon move a stick you will
move It toward a central point which
you have selected for a pile.
Begin splitting at the pile, work back
away from ft and throw your wood to-
SFLmTXQ BLOCK.
ward it as fast as split. If you are pre
paring wood for market split It as your
customers want It, always remember
ing that the finer it Is split the more it
will measure and also the more it will
cost you. If you have a tough tree or
stick do not try to split It fine, but find
a customer who prefers coarse wood.
If for your own use, plan differently.
The wood must lie loaded on a wagon
or sled and unloaded into the wood
shed and perhaps moved several times
besides. Xow, your wood car. be moved
cheaper if it Is In blocks as large as
can l>e handled easily than If It Is finely
split. On the other hand, there will
never be another time when It will split
as easily as now and you will be saved
the labor of moving it several times.
A section from a large forked hickory
limb makes & good splitting block. The
ends of the fork are closed, as shown
In the cut, with a piece of plank fas
tened with wooden pins. Do not use
nails, as the ax will be sure to strike
them sooner or later. The triangular
Inclosure holds up the partly split
pieces of various sizes, and the work
man Is saved from betiding over to Bet
them up after every stroke. The part of
the block where the branches Join Is
hard and tough, making a good base to
strike or chop upon.
Ilofte For the General Farmer.
I know of no hogs which so well fill
the bill for the general farmer aud feed
er as the improved large English Berk
shires. While they grow to very large
size, they can be fitted for the market
at any time and take on for the food
consumed as large gain as any other
breed. The large sows weigh as high as
800, those In the medium class 500 to
GOO. These weights refer to animals
well grown and In good flesh. The pigs
can lie fed to 400 and 500 pounds In ten
to twelve months and when properly
handled always top the market, says a
Rural New Yorker correspondent.
SorKbnm Fotaoatntf.
From a Mississippi station report It
ippears that hydrocyanic acid was
found In the stomach of a cow which
died suddenly and Vn sorghum from the
field where she had grazed. The only
plat of sorghum found to contain
traces of the add had made the most
luxuriant growth.
TARM BREVITIES
Grass Is a soli maker, a soil Improv
er and a soil protector.
"Big money In sugar beets," "profit
able progress" and "Industrial and so
cial accord" are characteristics of the
present situation In Colorado, accord
ing to press reports.
The cotton red spider Is another ene
my threatening the cotton plant. Un
der ordinary conditions Its Injuries
rarely become serious, but It appears
to have become more familiar than Is
desirable In some sections during the
past two seasons.
"It pays to plant trees," say many
who claim to speak with the authority
of accurate knowledge.
Following the recent movement In
favor of open front poultry houses
come protests against too close confine
ment of dairy cattle. This, It Is con
tended, tends to develop tuberculosis.
"The fresh air cow Is the vigorous
cow."
ft Require* Nerve to I'ae Thfm aa the
DulKHrlanai Ho.
Kcginald Wyon in his book on "The
Balkans From Within" writes from
the Interior of a blockhouse on the
Turko-Bulgarian frontier: "We are
shown captured bombs, heavy "cylin
ders used for blowing up buildings and
the dreaded band grenade, whose short
fuse Is calmly lighted by a burning
cigarette aud hurled among the attack
ing Turks. A man must Indeed have
uerves of Iron to do this deed. Picture
a devoted handful of men surrounded
by an overwhelming force of Turks,
slowly but surely drawing nearer.
Now they are n hundred yards away,
fifty yards—luckily they shodt abom
inably—but it Is too far to put the
weight with effect.
"They must wait, though here aud
there a bullet fired at random thins
out tlio"little band. A rush—now. See!
One coolly lights the fuse and quickly
hurls It at the foe. He must make no
mistake. Ills aim must be correct and
his arm strong. A slip at the moment
of throwing means his and his com
rades' lives Instead of the Turks', for
the fuse Is very short. But he has
thrown It well. The Turks see It com
ing and halt In blind fear.
"A deafening crash, screams and
yells of anguish, and the Turks break
and run, shot down by the triumphant
Insurgents. Down Into the valleys
they fly to the nearest village, where
their officers, anxious to save them
selves a semblance of authority, order
Its massacre and pillage. Aud the next
day we read of the extermination of
another baud."
CROWS HELP FOX HUNTERS
They Follow the Alert Bird* When
Ileynard la Roaming.
For some reason crows have seated
aud mortal antipathy to foxes. As
crows build their nests In trees, where
no fox cau climb, and as an adult crow
can escape from any fox by flying, we
cannot understand why all crows seek
to harass anil destroy every fox they
see. Hut we know this to be a fact, as
we have watched the performances of
crows when foxes were near mauy
times.
We have seen crows watch for ruu
uiiig foxes on such occasions for hours
at a time, and as soon ns a fox emerg
ed from the thick woods and let a crow
get a glimpse of Its body every bird
would hover over the running beast
and peck at It and scold It and show
marked evidence of a bitter hatred.
Several fox hunters whom we know
make a practice of following the alert
crows when the foxes are roaming
across back lots, claiming that the
birds are fully as reliable as hounds
and less trouble to maintain.—Bangor
News.
The Tramp.
The curse of the man who will not
work has always Iteen with us. In
Ilenry VIII.'s reign he was not allow

The act of depositing a
dollar is the first step on
the road of prosperity.
Thought for the future is the main characteristic of '
wisdom. Banking your surplus now, is reaching
into the future and insuring yourself a comfortable
living in the unproductive period of your life.
We pay 3 per cent, interest on any deposit, from
a dollar up. No matter how small your account may
be at first, it increases as rapidly in proportion as a
large one. If your income is large enough to save
$ 1.00 a week and you haven't saved it, you are out
of pocket a dollar for every week that you have
been earning that salary.
