Lisa a Trad Mark,
nualnens men have trade marks; so
should the farmer. The farmer who
uses a trade mark, and puts It on
everything he sells Jn packages, adver
tises his goods Rnd creates a market
for his products. In adopting a trade
mark, however, only the best and
choicest articles should be sold.
Fitting Horse Collars.
As a rule, not enough care Is lakPn
to flt the collar to the neck of the
horse. Tho owuer buys a collar, often
times guessing at the size, and if it
comes anywhore near fitting properly
he lets it go at that. In buying a
heavy collar insist that the dealer fit
the horse perfectly, If possible; then,
before the collar Is worn, wot it thor
oughly and put It on the horse, bend
ing It aa needed to make a perfect fit.
Remove it and let It dry as bent, be
fore it Is put on again. In addition to
this, every farmer should make a busi
ness of washing the top of the neck
of the horco whore the collar rests,
once or twice a week. Take a sponge,
a little warm water and a piece of pure
cnstllo soap. Wash the spot thorough
ly and dry with a strip of chamois skin
or of canton flannel. This will pre
vent the neck from ejettlug sore.
Good Tillage.
Good tillage loosens the soil and al
lows free circulation of air. It may
often aid In hastening evaporation for
a time, and it also allows the sun's
rays to have more power on cold "sog
gy" soils. Thorough tillage reduces
tho soil to fine parthlcs tipon which
water and humlc adds may act more
readily, and by breaking the surface
crust which always forms on untitled
soil, makes more room and better con
ditions for the development of fibrous
roots. It Is a well-known fact that
roots grown In a hard, crusty soil do
not have as many fibers (which are the
chief fceciers of the plant) tia those
grown in soil of looser texturo. It is
also true that though our cropplng
plauts send toiany of their roots to a
greater depth, tho major part of their
feeding Is done near the surface. These
facts suggest that good plowing is one
of the moat essential features of good

Fighting Hessian Fly.
Whether one grows 10 or 100 acres
of wheat, tho hesslan fly Is an enemy
that will need watching. Scientists
havo worked for years trying to find
some method of exterminating" this
pest, and agree that the best way of
combating it is the following; At the
usuul time of sowing wheat In the
fall, sow a smn!l portion of the field
quite early and after the wheat is up
watch it closely for aMarkH of the hcs
slan fly. In ens tho pent does not ap
pear It will bo safe to finish the sow
ing at onco. In the event of trouble
with the Bmall Blrip of wheat, wait
until just before a Bhnrp frost may
be expected before sowing the balance
of the field. The Idea is that if the
wheat does not make Its appearance
until after a sharp frost it will be safe,
as it is thought tho frost will kill tho
beoslan fly. This method Is well worth
trying and repeating each year until
some better plan is discovered.
Curing Cow Pea Hay.
A number of correspondents have
requested information as to bow cow
pea hay can bo properly cured. They
say they can raise the crop in a satis
factory manner, but hnve been unable
to cure it properly. The following
method is supplied by one of the edi
tors of this department, who has raised
eow peas, both north and south; do
not cut the cow pea hay until the first
of the cow peas are well ripened, then
use a good machine and it possible, cut
two rows at a time, seeing that the
vines are quite dry before the cutting
is done. Lot it lay for awhile but do
not out more than can be properly
stacked in a single day with the cut
ting. It must bo cured out of doors
and up from the ground, henoe a
rough platform ot some kind should
be erected.
A cheap one may be made by set
ting a piece ot scantling or a pole a
toot or more In the ground and at
taching to it, at about a foot from the
ground, several boards to form a small
platform, bracing them if necessary.
After the bay Is wilted a little pile it
on to these platforms with a fork,
making it about four feet wide and
about six or seven feet high. On top
use a cap or cover with hay or grass
to form a wator-Bhed. In fair weather
the bay will cure in this position in
two or three weeks and be ready to
store in tho barn. Indianapolis News.
Alfalfa Bacteria.
The alfalfa bacteria Is not a joke.
Unless these bacteria aro In the soil
the alfalfa will not make a healthy
growth nor a good yield of hay. This
theory baB been well tested by Profes
sor It. W. Clothier, of Missouri, by glv
Ins plats treated and fertilized with
different manures and oue plat, espec
ially unadopted to alfalfa, but the
heavy clay soil liberally inoculated
with soil from an orifnlfa ft old where
the bacteria were known to be abun
dant. On evory plat destitute of the
bacteria, the alfalfa faded, turned yel
low, made but little growth and much
ot It died out. On the inoculated plat,
the alfalfa was characterised by a
deop green color and vigorous growth,
and examination showed on abundance
ot the characteristic nodulea on the
root a Many of our Texas farmers
who have had but limited success with
ajfal'i and are looking arouad for a
cause, may find !t by first finding a
thrifty alfalfa field and securing there
from a little soil and scattering this
soil thinly over their alfalfa lands bo
fore or after planting. This tact of the
necessity for alfalfa bacteria for the
successful growth of alfa'fa has been
many times and thoroughly demon
strated. It is also one of the many
cases wherein science has been of vast
benefit to farmers. If nlfnlfu has not
heretofore succeoded on your land, try
inoculation. Thnt may be tho rsmsdy.
Alfalfa will not succeed without the
bacteria. Farm and Ranch.
Catching Moles.
A year ago this summer I, merely to
while away the time, commenced
watching for these little fellows that
had become so bad in our garden and
around the yard. 1 bought a trap and
commenced. The way I use It is to
bunt the moles' regular track, and
then tramp it down so aa to make the
top smooth and level, then set tho trap
with the trigger level with the top ot
the ground, so when the mole goes
through it will be easy to catch him.
The trap must be set with the spears
in line with the track, then there will
be no way for him to get away, unless
be goes clear around the trap. I have
caught as high as three a day, one in
the early morning, one about noon and
one in the evening. After using the
trap In. the garden last fall and spring
we have not been bothered In there
with them this year. The first I had
caught any In there was the other day.
I have caught as high as six or eight
In the same track. During the months
of April, May and June I have caught,
the most. During the hot month of
July the mole Is affected by the unus
ual heat, working little, and I have
caught fewer than any other time. I
not only use the regular mule trap, but
have been successful In finding tbs
haunts of the mole, and then standing
guard, patiently and watching. When
I see the earth being thrown up In a
tittle hillock I plant my heel In the
rear ot where the animal Is working so
he can not run backwards, and can be
easily taken out. Another way Is to
take a small Iron rod, about the sizo
ot an ordinary poker, and when you see
the earth being thrown up in a little
hillock plant in the rear of where the
animal Is working, and, with a quick
motion toss It upon ttie ground. The
ordinary gardener will give up In dis
gust when trying to do away with
these persistent workers, but I advise
him to be patient ana watt until he
captures him, then he will rejoice
when he plants bis crop next year. In

Crimson Clover.
Crimson clover should be seeded In
September, or even In August, If rains
are abundant It is not adapted to cli
mates where winters are very severe.
It may be pastured, cut for hay, or
used for green manure, but its main
ndvnntage Is that it grows on land af
ter other crops go off and comes olt
before other crops go on the samo land,
hence It really entails no cost for the
use of the land. It Is claimed to be
free of weed seeds as a rule, and It IB
harvested before weeds- can do much
harm, but occasionally weed seeds will
get In. Seeds ot crimson clover from
foreign countries are sometimes adul
terated with the seeds ot Egyptian
clover, which are ot the same size and
color, but the form tends more to egg
shape and there are deeper lines on
tho edge where the rootlet can be seen
outlined on the seed. In crimson clover
seed this edge Is about so smooth as
the back, while in Egyptian clover
seed there Is a marked depression on
each side of the rootlet. Dodder Is the
weed that does the most damage. The
amount of seed required for an acre
varies under different conditions. From
12 to 25 pounds have been recommend
ed, but usually from 15 to 20 pounds Is
tho quantity required, though It is hot
ter to use too much rather than too
littlo. It Is of advantage to test the
germinating power of the seed, If pos
sible, as the seed may be old or not
good, which Is one of the causes of
failure. As crimson clover Is a nltro
gon gatherer, having the power to de
rive nitrogen from the atmosphere,
through bacterial agency, there will be
no necessity for the use of nitrate ot
soda or sulphate of ammonia, although
It must be admitted that a small quan
tity of nitrate ot clover at tho start
will not come amiss. Totash Is the
main substance required, and may be
applied In the form of wood ashes or as
potash salts. Lime, however, always
gives good results, and Is used at time
when seeding, as welt as w!ion turning
the crop under. What is most import
ant, however, is to disregard the ad
vice that crimson clover can be grown
anywhere by scattering the seed on the
Biirface of the ground without first
plowing the land. Such an experiment
Is never satisfactory, as many of .the
seeds fall to germinate, while the
plants that take root are liable to be
Injured In winter. The ground should
be deeply plowed, and, it manured with
well rotted manure, or comploto fer
tilizers applied, so much the better, as
tho land will then be in more suitable
condition for corn when the crimson
clover is plowed under. Tho ground
should be harrowed several times, or
until It is fine and In good condition
for the seed, covering the seed with a
brush or roller. A seed sower should
bo used to secure even distribution ot
the seed, and if sowed early, and va
cant spaces occur, the spots may bo
seeded again. It tho ground Is woll
prepared thero will be less liability of
tho plants being thrown out by frost

BEER AND CIDER.
Are 8ald to Be the Cause of Cancer,
and Disease I. Contagious.
An Inquiry by Dr. Alfred Wolff Into
the mysterious cause of cancer has
yielded an unexpected conclu&lon
which promises temperance advocate's
a new and powerful argument. Tak
ing the widest possible; survey of can
cvr areas throughout Europe and the
United States, Dr. Wolff discovers
that all the districts of high caneor
mortality are districts in which beer
or elder Is largely drunk. Davarla,
for Instance, heads the l'irt In Ger
many, and Salzburg In Austria both
great beer-drlnklng provinces. In
France tho statistics aro still more
striking. There Is the most marked
contrast between the high cancer mor
tality In beer-drtiiklng departments
and the low death rate from cancer
elsewhere. The Increase In cancer In
England during recent years, Dr.
Wolff thinks, has probably a direct re
lotion to the Increased consumption of
beer. What It Is In ber that conveys
cancer infection is not clear; that Is
a matter for further Investigation.
Another conclusion to which all the fig
ures point Js thnt cancer is most com
mon In thickly wooded districts
abounding In water. Dr. Wolff'B re
searches show the strongest evidence
that cancer Is contagious and that
habits and environment have much
more to do with the disease than race
or hertdlty. Leslie's Weekly.

The Pygmy Race.
A German scientist has recently
brought out some Interesting conclu
sions Jn regard to the pygmy race, of
which specimens are still met with in
the central part of Africa. It Is prob
ably) that tho pygmy races have existed
also In Europe. This conclusion Is ar
rived at from the examination of nu
merous skeletons which havo been
found In the region of Dreslati, In Si
lesia. Their height Is considerably be
low the ordinary avorago, being about
4 foct 9 Inches, which represents the
mean figure for a whole group of skel
eton. Kollman describes the remains
of pygmies which have been found in
Switzerland. In this case the average
height rcairhes as low aa 4 feet 6
Inches. Gutmann has described the
pygmy remains which were found In
lower Alsace, near Colmar. These are
still smaller and the height of many of
the specimens Is but 4 feet. Tho pyg
my race must be considered as com
posed of well-formed specimens and
not In any way degenerate or path
ologic. They seem to have persisted
In Europo until a comparatively re
cent epoch. The pygmies of Silesia ap
pear to have been the contemporaries
of tho Romans and to have existed
until tho year 1000 A. D.

An Excellent Brain Food and Full of
Phosphorlo Acid,
The apple Is such a common fruit
that very few persons are familiar
wkh Its remarkable efficacious medi
cinal proportlea, says the Philadel

know that the very best thing he can
do Is to eat apples Just-before retir

luted In tho mysteries of tha fruit are
liable to throw up their hands In hor
ror at the visions of dyspepsia which
such a suggestion may summon up,
but no harm can come even to a deft
oate system by the eating of ripe and
Juicy apples Just before going to bed.
Tho apple Is an excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric add
in easily digestible shape than any
o4hr vegetable known. It excites the
actIon oi the liver, promotes Bound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. This ia not ell.
The artple agglutinates the surplus

and Is one of the best preventives

Seek Out Remedies for Ailments and
Do Their Own Surgery.
Most peoplo have seien a sick cat
eat grass, or an uneasy dog seek out
some week and devour It greedily to
make his complaining stomach feel
better, says Urn Outlook. Some few
have read John WeBley's directions
on the art of keeping well which have
not, however, found their way into
this book of discipline for the soul
nnd have noticed with surprised inter
est his claim that many medicines In
uso among common people and the
physicians of his tlmo were discovered
by watching the animals that sought
out these things to heal their ills
vases. "If they heal animals, they will
also heal men" is his Invincible argu
ment. Others may have dipped deep
Into Indian history and folk-lore and
learned that many of the herbs used
by the American tribes, and especially
tho cures for rheumatism, dysentery,
fever and snake bltss, were learned
direct from the animals by noting thy
rheumatic old bear grub for fern root s
or bathe In the hot mud of sulphur

eyes what plants the wild creature ate
when bitten 'by rattlers or wasted by
the fever.
