Success comes to those who count every cent and make every cent count , . ' ITS, L aM-"Z I IV 1 Care of the Cow. Do not stay around a cow with a young calf if it seems to disturb her. Do not stuff her with a heavy feed at once. Increase her feed gradually af ter a comparatively small beginning, so that by the end of three or four days, if she is In good health and has a good appetite, she will be on about full feed. Progressive Farmer. Weigh the Milk. A farmer with one or two cows kept merely to supply the family with milk and butter cannot afford to weigh each cow's milk all the time, or even twice a month perhaps; but the man who is giving a largo part of his time to dairying, cannot afford not to weigh the milk. It will quickly show him when a cow is dropping off in milk and that something i3 needed to get the best results she is capable of, even if it is no more than a dose of physic. Besides, the dairyman will know which cows to keep, which to dispose of, and which to keep heifers from. Progressive Farmer. ' Importance of Tile Draining. There is great profit in tile drain ing land that is inclined to be low. This doesn't mean that ouly bottom land needs tiling. Very often land that is gently rolling is benefitted by tiling fully as much as land that looks level and low. A good deal depends on the sub-soil. Tile makes land warmer. You gain from one to two weeks In the spring and you often gain as much in the fall. The soil Is better ventilated. Vegetation requires air in the soil as well as water. Available moisture is increased. Available moisture is film moisture, the kind that plants feed upon. Film moisture contains the elements of plant food in liquid form. Plants only feed on liquid. American Cultivator. Alfalfa Not Credited. Alfalfa is not yet credited for more than half its worth for making beef, milk, etc. In his recent visit to the Argentine country of South America, Prof. Muinford, of the Illinois Unlver slty, has some good words ou alfalfa, which are just as applicable to this country us to that. He says: Alfalfa is grown in most parts of the Argentine- cattle country, but not to anything like the extent to which it can be grown. It-ts known that it will grow well for ten years and It is believed a fair stand will be main tained for forty years if not pastured too close. Modern machinery Is used In some Instances in baling and stack ing this crop. A fine illustration of the value of alfalfa is seen In the experience of the manager of a 55,000-acre ranch, all in alfalfa. This much now actual ly supports more enttle than the HO, 000 acres of the original alfalfa ranch In the jative grass when this man took the place thirteen years ago. The alfalfa had much more than dou bled the production of the laud. Some cattle that are bred upon the native grass land are shipped to the alfalfa country to finish; at the monthly charge per head of stock the alfalfa returns $7 to $9 per acre per year. It requires from one and one-third to one and two-thirds acres of good al falfa, well cared for, to support one steer and two sheep. This means 4,000 to 4,800 cattle and twice as many sheep per league of 6,672 acres. Thi3 seems equivalent to a steer per acre. Knowing the great increase in yield and remarkable richness of alfalfa In protein, the most costly kind of food in a balanced ration, yet the wonder ful significance of this crop cannot be understood unless it is remembered that in Argentina beef cattle are brought to the highest flesh and finish on gras and alfalfa alone, without any grain at all. Ventilating the Poultry House. A poultry house is not much good unless it is well-ventilated, for pure, fresh air is very essential to health and productivity in hens. On account of tlleir higher body temperature, chickens require plenty of good air to breathe even more than most other domestic animals. Then in addition to this, the unpleasant odors and gases existing in the poultry house must be dissipated and removed. To correctly ventilate the poultry house is a more complex matter than most people' think, for the reason that drafts and currents of air must be carefully avoided. The ventilators, which work quite satisfactorily in dwelling houses and barns give very unsatisfactory results on poultry hous es and are little or no better than nothing at all. If the windows are left partly open, drafts and cold cur rents of air blow in over the fowls, or rain or snow may be blown into tha bouse. By having a loft above a loose cell ing in the house and keeping this filled with dry straw or hay, much of the moisture 'and impurities of the air are drawn off. But this Is not all that could be dssired, for it fails to supply fresh air to . the, fowls. The. modern and model method of ventilating a poultry house is by means of window openings In the south side of the building which are covered with a muslin curtain in cold or disagreeable weather. During the remainder of the time, both wlntet and Bummer, these openings are cov ered merely with wire netting. Oiled muslin (or "Waterproof sheeting") can be secured at almost any of the incu bator and brooder companies or the poultry supply houses, at a cost of only a few cents a yard. Ordinary muslin will answer the ventilating question just as satisfactorily as the oiled material, except that it lacks the water-proof quality possessed by the latter. Either kind permits of a gen tle diffusion of fresh air from the out side into the interior of the building while the foul air may Just as readily pass out through the porous curtain. All this is accomplished without any direct draft and the action is ery gentle although none the less positive. Instead of having three or four win dow sashes to the south of the poultry house, use muslin for the one instead of glass. On mild days the muslin frame may be removed and the bouse thoroughly aired. Epltomlst. Carbolic Acid In the Poultry Yard. Carbolic acid, properly applied, is a useful drug in the poultry yard. The offensive and unwholesome odors of the poultry quarters, arising from the ex halations and the fermentation of their droppings, may be easily and effectually removed by the use of a solution of carbolic acid. Among the most troublesome annoyances of poultry-keeping lice must be enumerated. These parasites will master the situa tion unless they are looked after. Car bolic acid in solution almost Instantly destroys these pests. The small "mites" or "spiders," which live dur ing tho day in cracks and crevices and about the bearings of the roosts, in the corner -of nest-boxes, etc., are the most annoying to the fowls at night. Another trouble that may be enumer ated under the head ot parasites is "scabby legs." This disease, if di sease it be, is produced by an acarus, a minute Insect, which burrows be tween and under the scales on the shanks and feet. When neglected for a considerable time, the scabs or in crustations grow to a disgusting size, and will be harder to remove than If undertaken as soon as discovered. This trouble Is easily cured by the use of the acid. A solution for use in poultry quarters for hygenlc purposes may be made by mixing one fluid ounce of the acid with a gallon of wa ter. Then sprinkle the inside eur face'thoroughly floor, walls, roosfs, nests, everything inside of the quar ters with the solution. An excellent plan is to saturate pieces of old car pet, or bags, or worn-out horse-blankets with a strong solution, and hang or tack them up In the roostlng-place, or inside the coops where small chick ens are kept. In hot weather the so lution should be used In the buildings at least one a month, and in the coops for little chickens oftener. The smell given off will neutralize odors or mi asms and destroy all microscopic or ganisms and parasites, while It is ab solutely harmless to the fowls and chickens. The ointment Is made by mixing about one fluid ounce or a large tablespoonful of tho acid with a pound of melted lard and stirring until thor oughly mixed. As soon as cold enough it is ready for use. A little of this will keep the vermin away. It will, when applied, cure the "scabby leg." Weekly Witness. Farm Notes. Hens in the stable are like pigs In the door yard. Both are untidy and unclean. 1 Plenty of shade for tbe hens. And they must have a cool house to roost in at night. Be not weary in fighting the lice, for in due season they will get your fowls if you do not get them. In picking your breeder ' lor next year's stock remember that tbe roos ter is more than half the flock. Poor plan to house tbe young chicks and the old fowls together. The old birds are more than apt to pick on the little fellows. If the cats are fed extra well during the period when the young chicks are running free you will find they will hot be so prone to an occasional chicken dinner. When you put the incubator away were you careful to see that the water tank was empty? The ground makes a good place to set the late broody hen. Protect from sun and rain. To eradicate worms, placing a lump of rock salt where the horse may lick it at will, is often useful. Oil of tur pentine, one-half ounce, to be followed by the raw oil purge, will dislodge the worms. The successful poultry man is the one who can distinguished the divid ing line between the pure bred stock and is all for show, and the pure bred stock that Is for the egg and flesh making business: It is impossible to say Just how soon in her life a heifer should be bred. The distinctive, specialized dairy breeds may be bred earlier than the, larger strains. Some heifers at six teen months are as fully developed as others at twenty-four. Therefore the experienced breeder will bred accord ing to development. The United States consumes 80,000, 000 pounds of tea annually. PLYINO SQUIRRELS RARE Once They We.-e Common In the New York Woods. Several flying squirrels were seen In the woods in the central part of this town the other day says the Den mark correspondent of the Utlca Ob server. They are not very common and few of them are seen in this sec tion, although 3,5 or 40 years ago near ly every old hollow birch tree had its family of little striped air navigators. The flying squirrel, be it explained for the benefit of the many who have undoubtedly never seen one, does not "fly" in the proper acceptance of the word, but is able by spreading the web-like strips of thin skin that ex tend from its fore to its hind legs on either side of its body to sail several rods on a gradually downward slant from the top of one tree to a point lower down on the limbs or trunk of another. Then by running higher up the tree it has alighted on it is able to repeat the performance and thus avoid its enemies by salCng from tree to tree. These squirrels were once numerous in northern New"York, but like their kinsman, the black squirrel and the fox-squirrel, have all but vanished from the northern woodlands. CURED ITCHING HUMOR. Big, Painful Swellings Broke and Did Not Heal -Snffercd 8 Years Tortures Yield to Cutlcura. "Little black swellings were scattered over my face and neck and they would leave little black scars that would itch so I couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear 'and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble only got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so painful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a Bet of the Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well. I continued tyg I had used three sets, and now I am sound and well. The disease lasted three years. O. L. Wilson, Puryear, Tenn., Feb. 8, 1008." Potter Drug & Chem.

Any bookseller will tell you that the constant quest of his customers Is for "a book which will make me laugh." The bookman is compelled to reply that the race of American humorists has run out and comic lit erature Is scarcer than funny plays. A wide sale Is therefore predicted for the "Memoirs of Dan Rice," the Clown of Our Daddies, written by Maria Ward Brown, a book guar anteed to make you roar with laugh ter. The author presents to the pub lic a volume of the great Jester's most pungent Jokes, comic harangues, caustic hits upon men and manners, lectures, anecdotes, sketches of ad venture, original songs and poetical effusions; wise and witty, serious, satirical, and sentimental sayings of the sawdust arena of other days. These "Memoirs" also contain a series of adventures and incidents alternat ing from grave to gay; descriptive scenes and thrilling events; the rec ord of half a century of a remarkable life, in the course of which the sub ject was brought into contact with most of the national celebrities of the day. The book abounds In anecdotes, humorous and otherwise; and It af fords a clearer view of the inside mysteries of show life than any ac count heretofore published. Old Dan Rice, as the proprietor of the famous "One Horse Show," was more of a national character than Artemus Ward, and this volume contains the humor which made the nation laugh even while the great Civil War raged.

Vrll A woman who is sick and suffering, and won't at least try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, is to blame for her own wretched condition. There are literally hundreds of thousands of women ia the United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs oyer thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman's suffering. Read what these women say : ' Camden, N. J. It is with pleasure that I send my testimo nial for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comnound, hopta? it may induce other suffering women to avail themselves of th benefit of this valuable remedy. -1 suffered from pains in my back and side, sick headaches, no appetite, was tired and nervous nil tho time, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman and this valuable medicine shall always have my praise." Mrs. W. P. Valentine, 902 Lincoln Ave., Camden, N. J. Eric, Pa. -" I suffered for five years from female troubles, and at last was almost helpless. I tried three doctors but they dirt me no good. 3fy sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham'a vegetable Compound, and it has made me well and strong. I hope all suffering women will just give Lydia E. Pinkham's; Vegetable Compound a trlnl, for It is worth its weight in gold. Mrs. J. P. Endlich, It. F. D. 7, Erie, Pa. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffer ing from the same trouble. For 30 years Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit. I?

New York Globe. Pretty Women Criminals. . It Is difficult to obtain a verdict of guilty against any woman charged with capital crime, triply difficult if she happens to be young and of at tractive personality. Preachers of woman's rights have held that wom en should be tried by female juries. No Jury of women could possibly be more lenient to a woman than Is the usual male Jury In this country. It is, even, not impossible that women hear ing a case against a woman would be less swayed by sentimentality than are the masculine Juries that almost Invariably fall victims to a pretty face and a woman's tears.
