HAMMERING CURE FOR FAT.
■-
Hvr Mallets Helped Stoat Man to'
Redace His Weight.
Townsend Burnett Baldwin of the
Pennsylvania railroad, a member of
the New York Yacht and other clubs,
who formerly was very stout, returned
to New York from Europe the other
day looking as athletic as a football
player, says the New York Times.
When Deputy Collector John Castree
Williams asked Mr. Baldwin how he re
duced his weight the railroad man
smiled and said:
“I invented the remedy myself and
here Is the prescription: Every night
fvf months, when the time for all good
citizens to be in bed came I wrapped
two or three blankets around me. Then
I lay flat on my back. Near by I had
two big mallets such as marble cutters
use. Taking a mallet In each hand, I
began to pound myself and kept It up
for half an hour or more. Then I re
moved the blankets and went to sleep.
The mallets, not the blankets, did the
work. I only used the blankets to
lessen the force of the blows. It is a
fine remedy and is just as good for
rheumatism as it is for undue fat.”
ALFALFA HAY.
Culture amt Caring as Practiced In
Different Ilesrioim.
By A. S. HITCHCOCK.
Alfalfa should be cut just as it is
beginning to bloom. After the begin
ning of the flowering period the hay
deteriorates rapidly in nutritive value.
If the field is fairly uniform the prop
er stage for cutting is when about one
teuth of the plants have reached the
flowering period. The number of cut
tings varies from two or three in the
north or at high altitudes in the moun
tain.? to as iv any as ten in the irrigated
districts along the southern border
from California to Texas. The yield is
from one to two tons per cutting, the
first cutting being usually the largest,
but the yield per cutting, especially
for cuttings after the first, is usually
less when there are several cuttings.
Harvesting should take place with as
little handling as possible in order to
prevent shattering the leaves.
Haiulfing St For Hay.
In the arid regions the making of
hay from alfalfa is a very simple
process. The air is so dry that the
hay mowed in the morning may be
raked and stacked in the afternoon of
the same day. In more humid climates
there is more moisture in the air, the
green alfalfa is more succulent, and
the curing process must extend over a
greater length of time, with danger of
heavy showers or dew wetting the hay.
Where alfalfa is especially succulent
the curing process may be hastened by
the use of a hay tedder. When the hay
is sufficiently dry it is racked into
windrows and later thrown into
bunches or cocks.
A HANDY TOOL.
Cheaply Mhlp Witl: Material From
the Scrap Heap,
1 have a cultivator of my own make
that has special virtues, and I will ex
plain its construction and cost, says a
Country Gentleman correspondent.
The fork and front wheel of a bicycle
form the running gear, a straight plow
handle ripped in two forms the han
dles, and the leg to which the hoes are
attached is made from the side of a
bed spring.
We have in the wheel all the beauty
and delicate construction of the bicy-
JA
HOMEMADE CULTIVATOR.
cle, with its ball bearings and high
light wheel, so that the exertion of op
erating is reduced to a minimum.
Any kind of attachments can be
used. An old spading fork makes a
good cultivator after rains. Any kind
of a cultivator foot can. be used for
making rows to plant anything in up
to beans. The triangle hoe for hoeing
everything is made from an old buggy
tire that has edges on both sides.
The whole transformation is made
by eight quarter inch bolts two inches
long and can be effected by any one
with the irons made in shape at the
blacksmith’s. ,
Doesn’t Fay to Coddle Alfalfa.
If an alfalfa field is in bad condition
it is usually best to plow up and re
seed. It scarcely ever pays, at least
where irrigation is practiced, to coddle
a poor stand of alfalfa. Many growers
recommend disking every spring, even
when the stand is good, and some have
even found it a paying practice to disk
after each cutting. Such disking will
often prevent the encroachment of
weeds. In the eastern states alfalfa
fields sometimes suffer a check in their
growth, tend to turn yellow and other
wise show a sickly condition. Often
times this condition is accompanied by
an attack of alfalfa rust or spot dis
ease. The best remedy for such a con
dition is to mow the field. The vigorous
growth thus induced may overcome the
diseased condition.
GARDEN SNAPSHOTS
Keep the soil well stirred.
Sow winter beets and rutabaga tur
nips.
Hoe the lima beans and train them
on the poles if necessary.
For early ripening of the tomatoes
keep the side branches trimmed off,
and to prevent rot support the plant
by tying to a stake or trellis.
Be on the lookout for bugs on the
melon plants. Keep the ground well
stirred and sift tobacco dust on the
vines or cover them with mosquito
netting.
Layer the squash vines, covering the
Joints with fresh earth to prevent the
borers killing them out.
Keep the weeds out of the straw
berry patch.
Don’t cut asparagus much after the
third week in June. Clear out the
weeds, stir the soil and apply commer
cial fertilizer or manure.
It is of no use to think that contin
uous crops can be produced without
continuous effort. When one crop is
taken off the soil must be dug as deep
ly as in the first instance and fertilizer
used as for the first crop.

Early Risers
THE FAMOUS LITTLE PILLS.
For quick relief from Biliousness,
Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Jaun
dice, Dizziness, and all troubles aris
ing from an inactive or sluggish liver,
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are un
equalled.
They act promptly and never gripe.
They are so dainty that it is a pleasure
to take them. One to two act as a
mild laxative; two or four act as a
pleasant and effective cathartic. They
are purely vegetable and absolutely
harmless. They tonic the liver.
