Matters Especial Moment to
the Progressive Agriculturist
It is a complete waste of time to
yawn when some people talk.
Kick and you are apt to be kicked—
this holds good at milking time.
Most of us see success only when
we are brought face to face with it.
Often the fancy farming of a city
farmer is worth traveling miles to see.
It is better to have resolved and
failed than not to have resolved at all.
You may run into debt, but the pos-
sibility is that you will have to crawl
out.
Drawbacks are discouraging, but
they are sometimes blessings in dis-
guise.
When you can’t see straight ahead,
it is because you are going to turn a
corner.
It was a wise hostess who discov-
ered that changing rooms might
change modes.
It would be a remarkably silent
world if we were as silent about our
achievements as we are of our mis-
takes.
Competition is all right In some
things—but not in crop growing.
There is not room enough in your
fields for both grain and weeds.
Part of the price we pay for a good
crop is alert watchfulness of every de-
tail, from the preparation of the
ground to the final act in the harvest
field.
Man possesses hut limited knowl-
edge! of the law which governs the
universe, and that little is all he needs
to know. When God gets ready for
man to run things for him he will
Impart the necessary knowledge.
SLOVENLY METHODS ON FARM
Ample Time In Each Year for Farmer
to Do His Work in Systematic
Way—It Pays Big.
(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Because of lack of help much work
Is being done that will prove a loss
to the farmer, ___
Instances such .f6 Wllere oafs v-ere
Bofvn broSeffiast of unplowed land
then attempts made to cover by using
a spring tooth harrow or by using a
disk drill on unplowed land -are cer-
tainly great mistakes.
One man down in Marion county,
Indiana, writes that he sows his oats
every year In February on unplowed
ground and lets the frost and rains
cover the seed for him.
Another writes his method of plant-
ing potatoes is to plow open a furrow
with a barshire plow, drop the seed
and cover with the plow, running both
sides of the open furrow, thus cover-
ing and hilling at the same time.
Well, we confess ignorance of what
results could be hoped for from these
methods of culture.
It looks as if too many farmers are
shifting their work off upon costly ma-
chinery in the absence of proper help
regardless of the consequences.
The man who rides on the sulky
corn plow in cultivating his corn can-
not do good work.
The farmer who shirks or slights
his work will be the loser.
In whatever manner he plants, sows
or cultivates in a like respect will his
crops come to him.
No use in slovenly methods. N-o
necessity for spasmodic efforts to out-
run time. Th6?e is ample time in
each year for one to do his work sys-
tematically and in a proper manner
and it will pay big to do so. Better
far to plant and till one acre well
than to slipshod two.
MILK PfiolpUCERS IN , LEAGUE BLUE BEST KITCHEN HUE
Rapid Progress Made by Dairymen’s 1 Artistic Effects in the Culinary De

astern States.
The Dair; men’s league has made
rapid growl since the formation of
the permane >t organization. The num-
ber of local iranches are about three
times what :hey were at that time,
writes Abne [ Minker in the Country
Gentleman. We now have branches
in Sussex-an Warren counties, N. J.;
Litchfield nd Fairfield counties,
Conn.; Berkshire county, Mass.;
Wayne county, Pa.; Orange, Sullivan,
Ulster, Putimm, Dutchess, Columbia,

It should jfce remembered that this
is a large o ganization covering a large
field—the latest of any similar organ-
ization—amflike a long train it should
not be explcted to start off at full
speed. It rjjist start slowly, be con-
servative, g|n concessions gradually,
but when uiM$r full speed its momen-
tum is wondlrful, and a rash or false
move will Feck it. Every milk pro-
ducer shoutt avoid surplusing the
market. Serif the unprofitable cow to
the butchejls block, for she only
makes the s*plus which tends to keep
down the pjfee of the profitable cow.
We canmjfexpeet to get something
out and putBothing in. It takes time,
energy and if little incidental expense.
Nothing caifflhe gained by retreat. It
becomes m<jfe evident each year that,
the milk pijfeucer must work out his
own salvatjln. The failure, and in
some casesjjfthe refusal, of the dealer
to recogniyf the farmers in this busi-
ness transaction leaves the farmer the
alternative fto organize and act inde-
pendently. This is not as it should be
in equity ^aiid from a business stand-
point. The ■ farmers must join hands
to protect their interests. They need
organization effectually to promote or
defeat legislation as it affects their
interests. Every milk producer should
consider carefully the proposed reci-
procity treaty with Canada with re-
spect to the removal of the duty on
milk, cream, . butter and cheese, and
its effect on 6ur market, and then let
their representatives in congress hear
from them. We keep men in the field
continuously organizing, and speakers
are sent tofv any locality to form
branches of jthe organization.

try will he serious* affected by reci-

Liming Oats.
Liming alone Is not likely to in-
crease the yield of oats. On very sour
soils, or when used in connection with
the plowing under of green manure
crops or stable manure, it may have a
beneficial effect. When lime was ap-
plied without manure, at the Pennsyl-
vania station, it reduced the yield of
oats, but where it was applied in con-
nection with manure it increased the
beneficial effect of the manure.
Cure Kicking Cow.
A kicking cow may often be cured
by buckling a strap one inch wide
around each hind leg a little above the
hock, tight enough to compress the
hamestring.

Without having to be gnawed all the

When the mother’s milk cannot be

eighth month of her period of lacta-
tion is bad for|a very young calf.

partment Are by No Means to
Be Dispised.
It may sound foolish to talk of a
“color scheme” for the kitchen, but
if pots and pans and utensils of all
kinds match and the walls are in the
same shade with linoleum of the, same
on the floor, you will be astonished
to find how clean and dainty it all
looks and how much easier it is to
concort dainties for the home m,enu
in the pleasant room.
Blue is always a good color for the
kitchen especially, as it is easy to
secure the blue enameled cooking
utensils, which are not only easy to
keep clean, but eliminate to a great
extent all likelihood of burning.
Blue and white china or the quaint
solid brown and white ware are pret-
ty in a blue and white kitchen, while
blue and white dish towels may be
bought just as easily as red and white
ones and will look far daintier is the
kitchen.
Usefulness, however, must come be-
fore an artistic effect and care must
be exercised in the selection of the
pots and pans. If you have a small
family don’t buy big stewpans and
enormous skillets.
If you have a big family get big
utensils and don’t buy a lot of mod-
ern inventions that you never use,
and which clutter up drawers and
closets unnecessarily.
MACHINE HAS MANY USES
Ingenious Device Intended for Wash-
ing Clothes, Renovating Feathers,
Canning, Etc.
Two Texas men have invented a
machine which can be put to a variety
of uses, among which are washing
clothes, renovating feathers, canning
fruit and vegetables, etc. A cylinder,
made of longitudinal slats, revolves
on a stationary lower section, which
is raised from the floor by legs. Be-
neath the cylinder is a metal half-
cylinder, adapted to hold water. Be-
neath this, in turn, is a fire box, with
a pipe rising from it at one end of the'
machine. This firebox is the distin-
guishing feature of the apparatus, as
it can be filled with coal or wood and
the water in the metal receptacle kept
hot while the cylinder is being re-
volved through it and the clothes or
feathers, or whatever may be in the
l 1
Machine Has Own Firebox,
cylinder, thoroughly cleaned. For can-
ning, of course, the cylinder remains
stationary after the jars have been
placed in it, and the lid of the ma-
chine can be closed, if desired.
To Blanch Sweetbreads.
Soak in cold water one hour, change
R-ater once or twice, serve with cold
water, add one teaspoon of salt, one
tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar,
two or three cloves, two peppercorns
sprig parsley and one-half bay' leaf,
simmer gently 20 minutes; drain, cov-
er with cold water; drain again, re-
move fibers and pipes.
To Clean White Plumes.
Make a thin paste from gasoline, and
flour. Dip plumes and cover with paste.
Lay aside to dry, then shake well, and
plumes will come out clean and fluffy.
This has been tried time and again.—

ThatTired Feeling
that is caused by impure, impoverished
blood or low, run-down condition of the
system, is burdensome and discouraging.
Do not put up with it, but take Hood’r
Sarsaparilla, which removes it as nothing
else does.
“I had that tired feeling, had no ap-
petite and no ambition to do anything. A
friend advised me to .take Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla. I did so, and soon that tired
feeling was gone, I had a good appetite
and felt well. I believe Hood’s saved me
from a long illness.’’ Mrs. B. Johnson,
Wefetfield, N. J.

Chinese? Educational Puzzle.
It is generally recognized that China
has set to work at the wrong end of
her education problem. . . . China
has begun at the top, has tried to
establish universities without prepar-
ing students for them, and all the low-
er rungs of the ladder are so badly
constructed that it is almost1 impos-
sible for the student to mount by
them.—National Review, Shanghai.

“Ever since boyhood I have been
especially fond of meats, and I am con-
vinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
“The result was that I found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with ail-
ments of the stomach, and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my
business.
“At last I took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead
of the heavy meats, etc., that had con-
Btituted my former diet.
“I found that I was at once bene-
fited by the change, that I was soon,
relieved from the heartburn and indi-
gestion that used to follow my jneals,
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased.
“My nerves, which used to be un-
steady, and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from a heavy diet of
meats and greasy foods, had, not in a
moment, but gradually, and none the
‘.ess surely, been restored to normal
efficiency.
“Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are quick-
er and more acute than for years past.
“Alter my old style breakfasts I used
to suffer during the forenoon from a
feeling of weakness which hindered
me seriously in my work, but since I
began to use Grape-Nuts food I can
work till dinner time with all ease
