NOTES FROM MEADOWBROOK FARM By William Pitt If you have not started those farm accounts yet begin now. Remember the cow must have food to keep up her bodily vigor as well as to provide for the milk yield. Cut the burdock off at the crown and pour a few drops of kerosene on each stalk. Time will do the rest. Calves should have access to good clean hay at all times if the best re sults are to be obtained from the grain ration which is fed. A can with a hole punched in the 'bottom of it the size of the seed to be sown makes an excellent aid to sow ing of seed in the garden. Get the sunshine habit. You know how sunshine makes the crop grow. Sunshine in the home and about the daily tasks is Just as essential. It is folly to sell off the stock just because the prices seem to be low and it looks as though It was unprofitable to raise them. ‘He patient and wait for prices to recover, as they will. The small flock does better than the large flock because the ration of the former is made up largely of the table scraps, which provide a more bal anced ration than that provided by the more exclusively grain diet. An old farmer who has tfieri It says that common poke root boiled down to a strong tea and added to the drinking water In proportion of one to a pall fur of water will cure chicken cholera, and hog cholera, too. A farmer who fed his hogs the skim milk warm from the separator, mixing with corn ineaJ at the ratio of one to three, that is. one pound of corn meal to three of milk, found that he secured what amounted to 40 cents a 100 pounds for his skim milk. Owing to the wet weather this spring the weeds have given the farm ters a hard flght in most sections. Hut *if by extra effort the fields are kept clean, the crops will show proportion ately greater improvement as a result of the more thorough cultivation. The farmer's wife should be his help meet in all things, but not his drudge. She should help in planning the work ot the farm but she should not be asked or expected to take the place of a hired man and do rough chores. We think that she should not even be asked to help do the milking. Ever stop to figure out how many eggs your hens averaged for the year? Perhpas you would be surprised to know how low an average your flock would show. It costs no more to feed a 200-egg-a-year hen than the one that only lays 100 eggs. Why not study the individual merits of your flock and breed for better layers? Farmers in some sections are ex periencing trouble this year from clod dy ground due to the plowing having been done when wet. There is not much which can be done to relieve such a condition. The only thing to do is to watch and put the harrow on the ground at the moment when the clods appear to have their greatest possible friability, due to their con taining a certain amount of moisture. Whitewash may be put on with the spray pump provided the wash is thor oughly strained before pumping. Oth erwise particles are apt to clog in the pump. It Is a fast way of getting on the wash and a good way. as ♦*'.e wash may be forced Into nooks and corners where the brush cannot reach. Every farmer should have a spray pump, as it is not only handy about the poultry house, but is frequently necessary in the orchard. In a hog feeding experiment by the Oklahoma station in which Duroc-Jer seys and Poland Chinas were used, six lots of five each were fed as follows: Lot 1, corn meal; lot 2. seven parts corn meal, one part meat meal; lot 3, eleven parts corn meal, one part meat meal; lot 4. four parts corn meal, one part cotton seed meal, alternated every other two weeks by corn meal alone; lot 5, corn meal, alfalfa hay: lot G, corn meal, cowpea hay. In this teat the cost of making 100 pounds of gain in each case was as follows: Lot 1, $8.01; lot 2. $4.94; lot 3. $4.73; lot 4, $6.38; lot 5, $5.88; lot 6. $6.67. Self-pruning trees are the subject of an interesting article In the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden by Mr. C. S. Gager, who studied the phenomenon in his garden. In Oc tober the sapling poplars litter the ground about them with branches, most of which are two years old and bear winter buds. The catalpa, the ailantus, the horse-chestnut, the elm. the lilac, the mulberry, the maple, hand 17 or 18 other varieties of trees 'have this habit of self-pruning. With some, as the maples, It occurs In spring or early summer; with others, in the autumn. The purpose appears to fce to get rid of superfluous branch es. The branches thus eliminated are not dead to begin with, but die as a result of the pruning process, which begins by the formation of an "ab scission layer,” or a brittle zone, at the base of the branch. Little or no grain should be fed the brood sow when not suckling pigs. Cleanliness in the hen house is the price of freedom from lice and mites. Keep the boar in a separate pea far enough away from the sows to &eep him from fretting. The wet land will grow alsike clover when other clovers will fail. Try it. It is high in nitrogen content. There is no reason to suppose that the Plymouth Rock egg is harder to break than that of any other variety. Don’t be discouraged. Corn often more than makes up in July and Au gust what it has lost in May and June from unfavorable conditions. In climates where low temperatures are constant during the winter a hillside site for the orchard is to be preferred to the low-lying places. The grain from two-rowed barley is usually of better quality than that from the six-rowed variety, although the production is not quite so heavy. The right start with work in the morning makes things run smoothly all day. Try plann'ng out the work the night before, so that each one of the hands has definite work assigned. It is coming to be more generally ad mitted that the dairy farm needs the dairy type of cow and the beef pro ducer must hold himself to the beef animals. In other words, the dual purpose idea is on the wane. Tile drainage is a subject which Is receiving more intelligent considera tion of the farmers than ever before. It is costly improvement, but repays the outlay many fold In Increased pro ductivity of the land thus treated. The trap nest is the only sure way of finding out the best layers, but the observant farmer's wife can pick out the best layers and by keeping them for the breeders next season she will be on the road to improving her flock and increasing her egg money. Too many poultry yards are un sightly mud puddles after a rain. One farmer eliminated such condition by enlarging his yard space so as to take in a big patch of green and by the poultry house door laying a wide strip of cement uud around this cinders up to the point where the green sward began. New ideas are all right if they are carefully digested and wisely used. The man who plunges blindly ahead into something which sounds good but which may hnve weak and impracti cable points connected therewith. Is the man who is constantly making serious mistakes and is making a fail ure of farming and stockraising. Have you put in that patch of corn for summer use for the cows? Re member that the pasturage gets pret ty dry and thin during the hot weeks of July and August and you need something to piece out and prevent serious shrinkage in the milk yield. It Is a great mistake to let the cows run down in their milk. Secretary Wilson defines the pro gressive farm as one who rotates his crops, tile-drains his land, keeps dairy cows or mutton sheep or both, breeds draft horses, does farm work with brood mares and growing colts, and Improves the power of the soil by growing legumes. How is it? Do you come into the class thus defined? A mason who is onto his job and who builds in the interests of his em ployer says if chimneys are plastered up inside as they are built with a mortar to which one-fourth common salt is added It will have a glazed finish to which the soot will not stick, and hence there will be no chimneys catching fire from the soot accumula tions. A good oil or vinegar barrel cut in half and placed over the pasture spring will make a good drinking place for the stock. Without the barrel the water softens all the soil about which is tramped by the stock until it be comes a mud hole. If the land slopes away from the spring the other half of barrel can be sunk into the ground and a pipe run from the half barrel at the spring. Spare that tree! There is not a tree of any variety in the United States which should be cut down unless there is an apparent and immediate necessi ty for its destruction. There are few pieces of wooded land west of the Rocky mountains which will not soon be worth more as they are now than if cleared and under -cultivation. Data furnished by the agricultural depart ment. and from other sources reliable in details furnished, show that this is absolutely the case. Estimates made show that the hardwood timber of the United States will be practically ex hausted within the next 16 years. The same estimate, with a lengthened time for destruction, applies to timber of other kinds. To spray or not to spray Is no long-' er the mooted question among fruit raisers. Rather is the question being asked whether the orchardlst can afford not to spray. Tests always prove that the sprayed orchard pro duces choicer fruit and returns a larger net profit than the orchard not so treated. In a test In Nebraska last year in two apple orchards the cost of spraying in one was about 29 cents per tree for four sprayings, and in the other about 40 cents per tree for five sprayings. Spraying produced a net gain per tree above the cost of spraying of $1.70 in one orchard, and $2.56 in the other. It increased the yield of fruit by 1.7 bushel per tree in one orchard, and by 2.1 bushels per tree in the second. The improvement in quality of fruit was also very no ticeable. In one orchard the sprayed trees produced about 45 per cent, of No. 1 fruit, while the unsprayed trees gave only four per cent, of No. 1 fruit. In the other orchard about 62 per cent, of the crop on the sprayed trees was first-class fruit, while only about 22 per cent, of the crop on un sprayed trees was first grade. BED-BOUND FOR MONTHS. Hope Abandoned After Physicians' Consultation. Mrs. Enos Shearer, Yew and Wash ington Sts., Centralia, Wash., says: "For years I was weak and run down, could not sleep, my limbs swelled and the secretions were troublesome; pains, were intense. I was fast in bed for four months. Three doc tors said there was no cure for me, and I was given tip to die. Being urged, I used Doan’s Kidney Pills. Soon I was better, and in a few weeks was about the house, well and strong again." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. N- Y. SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH. Boys' Fervent Prayer Was Answered in the Nick of Time. A suburbanite is fond of telling this story of his five-year-old son Hobby. Being of an inquiring turn of mind the youngster one day managed to turn on both faucets In the bathtub to see what would happen. It chanced that the stopper was in place, and the tub rapidly filled up. to the great de light of Hobby. Finally, however, the tub became so full that it threatened to overflow on to the floor, and Hobby, hawing a proper respect for the mater nal slipper, became frightened and tried vainly to turn off the water. Be ing unable to, for some reason, he gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood, and then, mindful both of his religious training and the occasional visits of the plumber, he plunged down on his knees, and his elder sister, who hap pened to be passing at the moment, heard him exclaim, fervently: “O. Lord, please stop this water running! And, O, Lord, if you can't do it. please send somebody that can!" His prayer was answered, for his sister rore to the occasion and turned off the water and temporarily saved Bobby from the much-feared slipper. ONE ON THE DOCTOR. 6t. Peter's Query Decided Reflection on Medical Attendant. Dr. Arthur T. Holbrook told a story on his profession. "A man by the name of Evans died,” he said, "and went to heaven, of course. When he arrived at the pearly gates he said to St. Peter: “ ‘Well, I'm here.’ “St. Peter looked ot him and asked his name. 'John Evans,' was the reply. "St. Peter looked through his book, and shook his head. “ 'You don't belong here,' he said, pointing to the exit. "‘But I am sure I belong here,’ said the man. " ’Walt a minute,' said St. Peter. "He looked again and in the back of the book found his name. “ ’Sure,' said the guardian of the gate, 'you belong here. Hut you was n't expected for 20 years. Who's your doctor?"’—Milwaukee Free Press. Where the Urchin Scored. The busy man stopped before an office building and leaped from his carriage. At the same moment an ambitious urchin ran forward and pitted: "Hey. mister, kin I hold ver horse?" "No, you can't!” snapped the busy man. "Won't charge y’ much.” insisted the urchin. "I don't care about the charge.” impatiently responded the man, throwing a blan ket over his bony steed. "My horse will not run away.” "Gee, mister, I didn’t think he'd run away!” "No?" "No, I thought he might fall down.” Carriage to Match. "I heard Miss Gadabout wondering the other day what sort of an electric she should get." "I would advise her, if she wants something fitting, to buy a runabout.” —Baltimore American. DROPPED COFFEE Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum. A physician of Wash., D. C., says of his coffee experience: "For years I suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes 1 was almost frantic. 1 was sallow, consti pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem ory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused. "My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave. "Finally Wife bought a package of Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. (I make this emphatic because I fear many others have had the same expe rience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the di rections, made it right, boiled it full 15 minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, I liked It —it invigorated and seemed to nourish me. "This was about a year ago. Now I have no headaches, am not sallow, sleeplessness and Irritability are gone, my brain clear and my head steady. I have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new* man. “I do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing, but I had dropped it before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose. "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates and albumens. This is no imaginary tale. It can be substanti ated by my wife and her sister, who both changed to t Postum and are hearty women of about 70. "I write this for the information and encouragement of others, and with a feeling of gratitude to the inventor of Postum.” Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.

Washington Whisperings Interesting Bits of News Gathered At the National Capital. Taft Boom Was Born in Barber Shop WASHINGTON. The nursery of Taft’s boom for the presidential nomination was a room In the execu tive offices of the White House giounds, where President Roosevelt, before he left for his horn, at Oyster Bay, was shaved each work day. Here, when the boom was a grt*<n and ten der thing. Its first youns shoots pushed to the light. Here it was coaxed to sturdier growth. Here, in full blossowi, it was talked over and admired. Frank Hitchcock was the* official and the president the unofficial manager of the Taft boom. The president, at these heart-to-heart talks with the can didate, was in a barber chair. A cer tain White House messenger wielded the razor and lather brunh. It was the only part of the day when official bus!- nt ss did not claim all of Roosevelt's time. It was Taft's one chance to do most of the tulking. , Even then, the barber had to be watchful, and quick to snatch away the brush or blade. When T. R. wants to talk he sometimes forgets he Is be ing shaved. If the barber’s hand had not a gambler's quickness, the presi dent would have had the lather brush Wholesale Prices Are Highest in Years IT will be of Interest to those who j were busy last year in keeping the wolf from the door to know that fig urcs on wholesale prices of 258 repre sentative staple articles reached tin? apex of their soaring last October. These statistics are for the IS years between 1890 and 1907. The annual report on this subject of the commerce and labor department shows that the average for the year 1507 was 5.8 per cent, higher than for 1906; 44.4 per cent, higher than for 1897, the year of lowest prices during the 18-year period, and 29.5 per cent, higher than the average for the ten years trom 1890 to 1899. Prices reached their highest point tinting tin* 18-year period In October. 1907, the average for that month being 1.2 per Wiley’s Poison Squad End Their Test DR. HARVEY W.

Resides taking up such matters ns summer beverages, widely advertised as possessing medical properties, but Makes New Record for Cabinet Changes THE retirement of Secretary of War Taft leaves but two men in Roose velt's cabinet who were there when he succeeded to the presidency on the death of President McKinley. These are Secretary of State Root and Sec retary of Agriculture Wilson. Mr. Root was secretary of war when Mr. Roosevelt became president In September. 1901. He shortly after ward retired from he cabinet, hut was persuaded to re enter it upon the death of Secretary of State Hay. There have been more changes and shifts In President Roosevelt's <ab- Inet than In that of any of his prede cessors. He has had two secretaries of state, Ilay and Hoot. He has had three secretaries of the treasury. Gage, Shaw and Cortelyou. With Luke E. Wright he ha 3 had three secretaries of war, Root, Taft and Wright. He ha had three pttr*- neys general, Knox, Mjciy and nonz parte; five potV.T.aAiers general. Smith, Payne. Wynn**. Cortelyou and Meyer; five secretaries of the navy. Long. Moody. Morton, Honaparte and Metcalf. He has had two secretaries of the in terior, Hitchcock and Garfield. He has had one secretary of agriculture, Wll »on, and three secretaries of commerce and labor, Cortelyou. Metcalf and Straus. The retirement of Secretary Taft has led to some speculation as to how long Mr. Wilson will continue at the head of the department of agriculture. in his eye as often as he had it In his mouth. The shaving of the president and the midday cultivation of the boom of Taft started at 1 p. in. and lasted u half hour. Tuft, when he was in Washington, often saw tin* president several times in tho morning. But-Mr. Roosevelt had many things on his mind then and no leisure. For an hour or longer aft er 11:30 his outer office was filled with men who had appointments. At the one o'clock slinvlng time came the first respite. The room In which the president was shaved Is a small, narrow one, between the presi dent's office and that of Secretary Loch. It is used as an anteroom to both offices. On the wall 1b a long, framed photograph* of a squadron of battleships. At this window is a low-sol leather upholstered chair. Against the wall at one side a writing desk. When the time for shaving arrived tlie low, leather covered chair was pulled out from the wall. A neat foot rest of two steps was produced from under the writing desk and set In front of the chair. Roosevelt took his place. Then came Taft, who pulled up another chair alongside. When Taft was away Roosevelt oft en received others In the shaving peri od. Sometimes the correspondents talked with him there. Sometimes It was Hon. Jimmy Garfield, he of the classic brow. cent, higher than the average for the year 1907. When the commodities are divided into nine groups every group shows an Increase in price In 1907 as compared with 1906. For farm products tnken as a whole this increase was greatest, namely. 10.9 per cent.; for food. 4.6 per cent.; for clothes and clothing, 5.6 per eent.; for fuel and lighting, 2.4 per cent.; for metals and implements. 6.1 per cent.; for lumber and building materials, 4.9 per cent.; for drugs ami chemicals. 8.3 per cent.; for house furnishing goods. 6.8 per cent., nnd for the miscellaneous group, five per cent. The effect of the money stringency In the latter part of the last year it* reflected in the decrease recorded in ul! commodities during November nnd December, the average price showing a decrease of 3.5 per cent, below Oc tober. Of the 258 articles for which wholesale prices were recorded 172 showed an increase in (he average prices for 1907 as compared with 1906; 35 showed no change; and 51 showed u decrease. thought by sclentilie inen to Ik* objec tionable because containing caffeine or other injurious substances, there la a wide field for the-students to eXT>erl ment. One of the most Interesting possi bilities is the determination of wheth er or not feungroek, the famous old world herb remedy, which Is part of most medicines advertised to Increase flesh, is really what It is said to be, and will accomplish the purposes for which it is advertised. A class In feungreek Is said to be one of the pos sibilities of the early future. Condition foods for animals also offer a field of endeavor that Dr. Wiley may yet explore to deterr,lno If the clulms made for the various brands of food are really true. The experiments conducted by Dr Wiley are the first large experiments of the sort conducted in the scien tific world. The classes, which were started in the fall of 1902, have al ready gone through a variety of ex periments. Borax and boric acid were the first to receive attention, eulphurlc acid, benzote, formaldehyde and cop per salts have also been fully tested as to tlielr effects on the human sys tem when taken with food. The chances are that he will continue to serve through the term of Mr. Roosevelt, and should Secretary Taft succeed to the presidency, it Is possi ble that Secretary Wilson would con tinue In the cabinet. It will be 12 years next March since Wilson be came secretary of agriculture, lie is 73 years old. but a man of great activ ity. However, it has been a matter of some surprise that he has continued In office so long, as it has been the Roosevelt tendency to get younger men Into his cabinet. Dummy Used to Make Test. Walking day and night, without a single stop, a dummy soldier is mak ing 100,000 steps every 24 hours an endurance test to determine the life of several new cartridge belts which are under consideration by the board of ordnance and fortification of the army. The dummy's tour of duty is at the Rock Island (III.) arsenal. The dummy Is the size of an average sol dier. By a special mechanical appa ratus It is made to walk, with the guidance of a wire cable, as though on sentinel duty. In a circle In one end of a LjsV. The mechanism is such as to give the dummy the same motion as wc.nl«i be experienced by the average soldier in walking. About the waist of the figure are strapped the various belts, one at a time, which are being tested. Each Is filled with the regula tion number of rounds of service cart ridges, the principal test being made with the sharp-nose bullets, to deter mine how long it will take for these to wear through the pockets of the belts. British Commerce Through the Suez. One-seventh of the foreigners com merce of Great Britain passes through tlie Suez canal. A Woman’s Duty. The woninn of taste keeps abreast of the fashions in a way—that Is. she drops wornout styles and adopts what ever new ones she can adapt to her use. If she can nfTord it she patron izes first-class dressmakers and gets her money's worth by wearing her clothes two or three seasons without losing her prestige as a well-dressed woman. There is an advantage In tills method, as. you can see, and I have been told by women who use It that there Is economy as well. It is no economy to save at the ex pense of good looks. It is a woman's duty to look her best, a duty she owes to her family. If she can secure It by a small expenditure, so much the better, but to save by accepting shab biness is not creditable suve in dire stress of circumstances. Poverty Is an excuse for shabbiness and nothing else is accepted by the world, save In the rare cases of shabby millionaires. —Chicago Journal. The Vital Point. Judge Gillette was one of the most dignified of old fashioned Jurists. One day he was holding court nt a count y seat in a rather out of-the-maln road county, when n violent hubbub In the hallway Interrupted proceedings in the court-room. After quieting the dis turbance. the sheriff returned to report to the Judge. "It was two men fight ing." explained the official. "Danny Flaunigan and Jake Jenkins, tough characters about town. I have put them under arrest.” And he waited, expecting that the magistrate would order both offenders to be brought In to his presence and committed for con tempt.
