Chew Your Whisky.
A new and novel cure for drunken
ness Is proposed by the now famous
Mr. Fletcher, who took a hint from
die wise old cud-chewing cow, and In
Tented perpetual mastication. Mr.
Fletcher has applied to Inebriates his
discoveries relative to mastication,
and asserts that his method has made
prohibitionists of a large number of
hard drinkers. The remedy is sim
ple. Instead of gulping down the
Bsunl "three fingers" In the old, famil
iar way, letting It irradiate its sun
shine in one internal mechanism as
ttrescribed in the ancient Bacchic rites,
the whisky is taken in sips by the pa
tient or victim, who proceeds to chew
It stolidly for fifteen or twenty min
utes, gurgling It around In his mouth
until it is thoroughly Insalivated. This,
Fletcher says, creates a physical in
tolerance of excess, and it is not long
before the victim is taking his "nips"
with a medicine dropper. Chew your
whisky; that's the secret of temper

Bimply stop it for a time and use
Postum in place of It, then note the

ness and insomnia.
"I was then an inveterate coffee
drinker, but it was long before I could
be persuaded that It was coffee that
hurt me. Finally I decided to leave
It off a few days and find out the
truth.
"The first morning I left off coffee
I had a raging headache, so I decided
must have something to take the
place of coffee." (The headache was
e&used by the reaction of the coffee
drug caffeine).
"Having heard of Postum through
a friend who used it, I bought a pack
age and tried it. I did not like it at
first, but after I learned how to make
It right, according to directions on
pig., I would not change back to cof

"When I began to use Postum J

170, and as I have not taken any

my recovery of good health to the use

there are weeds and brush.
An Angora is a prolific breeder

An ordinary fence is generally ef

Add Humus,
When growing green crops to plow
under to add humus it will be found
more economical to turn down
legumes and thus add nitrogen.
When this Is done it will not be nec
essary to use a fertilizer rich in ni
trogen. Nitrogen is the most expen
sive element of fertility, and the air
is a much cheaper source to obtain
it from than the fertilizer works.

Hugs That Eat Hugs.
The Department of Agriculture cul
tivates insects that destroy any and
all crop parasites. The polygnqtus
hlemalis can whip any Hessian fly
ever born; the tysphlebus trlctl is
death on the green bug. The green
bug eats the other, which promptly
lays its eggs inside its devourer. The
young eat their way to the open air,
thus killing the green bug, says Van
Nordan's Magazine.
To one lady bug is due the destruc
tion of the San Jose scale, which did
millions of dollars' damage to the
fruit trees of California. When the
pest had become a positive menace
the department heard of a species
of bug in North China which was
fatal to the scale. A large number
of the bugs were procured, but all
were dead except one when they
reached this country. The one insect
was taken to Washington and became
a ward of the Government. She
rewarded her keepers by laying about
6000 eggs. In an incredibly short
space of time she had a flourishing
family of seven billions and the reign
of the scale was over.
Cracked Corn For Hens.
In a recent experiment the Maine
Agricultural Station made a compari
son of whole corn and cracked corn
for laying hens. Certain poultrymen
reason that cracked corn is more de
sirable when thrown in the litter, be
cause laying hens, which tend to grow
too fat upon the whole corn, are
forced to take more exercise in se
curing the smaller pieces. In Octo
ber 1000 April hatched pullets were
put into ten like pens. Besides the
other food, the pullets in one-half
of the pens received whole corn, and
In the other half an equal weight of
cracked corn. The records of each
pen from November to April show
that the average number of eggs per
bird receiving the whole corn was,
for the various pens, eighty-four,
seventy-eight, seventy-three, seventy
seven and seventy-six, and for those
receiving the cracked corn seventy
nine, seventy-five, seventy-seven, Bev-enty-flve
and seventy-four. From this
experiment it- appears that there is
nothing in the results that leads to
the conclusion that it is necessary
or advisable to crack the corn fed
to hens kept for laying purposes.
Building a Herd For Beef.
In building up a herd for beef pro
duction, select cows with a broad,
deep and square body, cows with a
good coating of flesh, for these, if
bred to4the right kind of bull, will
produce calves that will prove profita
ble feeders.
Now for the bull. The bull Is half
the herd. He Btamps his qualities
on all the ealves, not simply on one
calf a year, as with the cow. Get a
registered bull of the breed you want,
even it you have only grcJe cows, as
then you are sure you are getting a
beef breed from beef ancestors. Se
lect a bull that is of good size, with
a proud masculine bearing, a good,
intelligent head, broad and, full be
tween the eyes, yet with a quiet ex
pression, as a nervous, excitable ani
mal will never fatten to good advan
tage. He should be broad and
straight across the back, with smooth,
even hips. He should have well
spring ribs, heavily covered with
flesh.
Spring la the natural season for
cows to drop Ihelr calves, and the
cows should be bred so as to drop
their calves in the early spring, and
then when the cows are turned to
pasture in the spring the calveB are
old enough to go with them and thus
have advantages for making rapid
growth and require very little atten
tion during the busy summer months,
When the calves are a few weeks
old they should be castrated and the
wound washed with some good germ
killer, so it heals rapidly. In the fall
the calves should be weaned and fed
on good, nutritious food. This should
consist of silage and roots, clover or
alfalfa hay, oats and bran equal
parts with dally allowance of some
reliable stock food to aid digestion
and promote a quick growth.
The age at which steers should
he marketed depends largely on the
market prices, but as a rule well fed
steers sell best at fourteen to sixteen
months old. Dr. David Roberts,
Wisconsin State Veterinarian.
Culling is Beneficial.
Culling the flock Improves it and
makes it better every year, as a high
er standard is constantly being
evolved. By an observation of the
individuals much can be learned. In
stead of running indiscriminately
with culls, one becomes acquainted
with the good hens and perhaps
makes pets of them and pride in their
Individual excellence is entertained
by the owner. All of which is very
desirable. Then, too, the young flock
will be hatched only from the best
producers and the choicest specimens,
instead of from eggs taken indiscrim
inately from the egg basket and large
ly from poor specimens, says Eplto-
mist.
Even with good pure-bred stock
the matter of selection should not be
overlooked. There is no likelihood
of there being such extremely poor
specimens in a pure-bred flock as in
a flock of mongrels, but at the same
time In every flock there are some
that are better than others. The ob
ject of this, then, is to impress upon
poultrymen and farmers the impor
tance of a close scrutiny of the stock,
and to teach the fact by careful se
lection a profitable flock may often
be built up from what may at first
seem to be very unpromising mate

Next week will end the county fairs
in Ohio. I have attended county fairs
and the Ohio and Indiana State Fairs
this year. Becoming the owner of a
coach stallion last spring, my interest
centered la the horse displays at
these fairs. I shall not dwell upon
the displays at any of them, but I
wish to say a few words through your
paper of the result of my own ex
perience and that of many horse own
ers to whom I talked.
In Ohio we have no stallion law;
that is, anybody who owns a stallion,
no matter how many blemishes or
other imperfections he may have or
how mongrelly bred he may be, he is
for service to any who apply. At
county fairs the so-called grade horse
was there, but I am happy to say he
was overshadowed by the magnificent
specimens of the pure-bred horse.
But the mongrel is like a cancer; he
keeps on in business by the cheap
price he offers for service, and th?
only way to drive him out is to pasn
stringent laws allowing no mongrel
bred stallion to stand for service.
When a company or a person pays
from $1500 to $3000 for a horse they
should be protected. Under our pres
ent no-law-at-all, it is only a matter
of four years when a horse of pure
blood has Btood in a' locality, that
there will be as many grade stallions
as you have fingers in as many miles
in every direction. This Is not true
in all localities, but this stattment
will hit more localities than it misses.
Thirty-five years ago I can remem
ber that almost one-fourth of the
horses were blind. We have better
horses than in that day; we are be
coming more educated, but like the
liquor question, it takes more than
education to correct the evil. Strin
gent laws of all kinds have been en
acted to curb the liquor traffic, but it
Btill exists. If the eradication of the
mongrel bred horse is to be done by
education it will be a long way off.
That there should be a law of some
kind there is no doubt, hut who is
going to take the first step? If the
Legislature of Indiana would move
in the matter, all owners of pure-bred
stallions should get busy. In Ohio we
have to wait a year yet, as the Legis
lature only meets every two years,
and this la the off year. In an article
in a week or two I will outline a law,
which I believe would be efficient, and
the working of such a law prove a
boon to the horse business for genera
tions to come. C. C. Neal, in the
Indiana Farmer.

Every year in the Rumnl country,
in India, a marriage lottery is held,
usually in October. The names of
all the marriageable girls and of
young men desirous of matrimony
are written on slips of paper and
thrown into earthen pots. One of
each kind is drawn out at a. time by
a wise man. The youth whose name
is drawn out obtains a letter of In
troduction to the young woman whose
name accompanies his, and then all
that remains for him to du is to start
his love making at once. The ma
jority of these fortuitous courtships

Cared In 2 Days by Cutlcura.
"Some two months ago I had a humor
break out on my limbs below my knees.
They came to look like raw beefsteak, all
red, and no one knows how they itched
and burned. They were so swollen that I
could not. get my shoes on for a week or
more. I used .five or six different remedies
and got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching less.
For two or three weeks the suffering was
intense and during that time I did not
sleep an hour at a time. Then one morn
ing I tried a bit of Cutlcura. From the
moment it touohed me the itching was
gone and I have not felt a bit of it since.
The swelling went down and In two days I
had my shoes on and was about as usual.
