'" Flno sensibilities aro llko wood bines, delightful luxuries of beauty to twine round a solid, upright stem of understanding; but very poor things, If unaustalned by strength, they aro left to creep along tho .ground. John FOfltex. Clover Dodder (Cuscuta). Somo readers of tho Farmers' Re view may havo noticed queer bright small blossomed plants growing on other plants. Some of theso aro the dodders. Awhile ago a lady found one of theso growing on dogwood and brought it to the writer for analysis. It was pronounced to bo dodder. There Is ono variety of this plant that thrives on clover. Tho little plants twine about the clover plant and kill it. They rosomblo tangles of yellow fibers without leaves or conspicuous blos soms. Somo seed of dodder has been at times Introduced Into tho fields of clover in tho clover seed. In such a caso they always prove to bo u great nuisance. They should bo extermi nated ruthlessly, but wo as yet know little about exterminating this plant when It attacks a field numerously. Farmers' Review. An Oat Experiment. In a test in England, an tin manured plot produced oats at tho rato of 27 bushels and 1,904 pounds of straw per acre. The application of 33G pounds of super phosphate per aero brought up the yield to 34 bushels of oats and 2,350 pounds of straw. When tho same amount of superphosphato and 112 pounds of nitrato of soda were added the yield was 41 bushels of oats and 2,G88 pounds of straw. When super phosphato was applied and 224 pounds of nitrato of soda in two dressings tho yield was 47 bushels of oats and 3,130 pounds of straw. In each case tho gain was doublo in value tho cost of tho fertilizers used. Value of Corn Silage. A great deal of tho valuo of corn sllago comes from the fact that it is succulent. This suc culenco is preserved in tho sllago and makes' it easily digestible. No amount of soaking or adding water to it in any way can make tho dry corn stalk like tho fresh ono. Nature puts tho yator into tho stalk in a so.t of com bination that it cannot make except when put in by tho help of active and developing cells. When the cells dry out and become hard, tho water cab never again penetrate them, and that is why water cannot make tho dried stalk fresh again, no nialter at what season It is cu New Yorkers Dying Fast Dr. John II. Glrdncr of Now York nays of that city: "At tho present tlmo New York Is not reproducing Itself. Wo aro all living swiftly and dying swiftly. Were it not for tho influx from out of town tho decrcaso would soon bo noted. But as it Is, for ono Now Yorker that dies two strangors tako tip their abodo in tho city, and thus tho loss is not noticed. Now Yorkers aro driving themselves and aro being driven llko beasts of burden. Thoy aro working llko dyna mos all day, playing llko idiots all night."

Tho brain deponds much moro on tho stomach than wo are apt to sup poso until wo tako thought in tho mat ter. Feed tho stomach on proper food easy to digest and containing tho proper amount of phosphates and tho healthy brain will respond to all de mands. A notablo housowlfo in Buf falo writes: "Tho doctor diagnosed my trouble as a 'nervous affection of tho stom ach.' I was actually so nervous that I could not sit still for fivo minutes to read tho nowspnper, and to attend to my household duties was simply impossible. I doctored all tho tlmo with remedies, but mcdlclno did no good. "My physician put mo on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds. of cereal foods, but nono of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings I had no faith that it would succeed whoro every thing elso had failed. "But it did succeed, and you don't know how glad I am that I tried It I feel like a now person, I havo gain ed in weight and I don't havo that terrible burning sensation in my stom ach any moro. I feel so strong ngain that I am surprised at myself. Tho street noises that used to irritato mo so, I never notice now, nnd my mind is so clear that my household duties aro a real pleasure." Namo given by Postum Co., Battlo Creek, Mich. Thoro's a reason. Now why was this great change mado in this woman? Tho stomach and tho brain had not been supplied with tho right kind of food to rebuild and strengthen tho nervo centers In these organs. It Is absolute folly to try to do this with medicine. Thero is but ono suro way and that is to quit tho old food that has failed and tako on Grape-Nuts food which is moro than half digested in tho process of manufacture and is rich in tho phosphate of potash con tained In tho natural grain, which unites with albumen and water tho j;nly three substances that will make up tho soft gray filling in tho thou sands of delicato nervo centres in tho brain nnd body. Grape-Nuts food is a suro road back to health in all such cases. Alabastine Your Walls i w Alabaslino produces exquisitely beautiful effects on walls and ceil ings.
