It will be some time, however, before broad tires are in common use on dirt roads. Usually another wagon Is kept for hauling on the road. The wagons with broad tires have not proved to be a good general purpose wagon for the farmer. They suit special conditions. If you have those conditions the metal wheel and the broad tire will be satisfactory If the ordering of broad tires were to be done over again the writer would take the ordinary running gears of a wagon and take measurement*. These measurements, when sent to the factory, will get a wheel that works well on the home wagon. In ordering wheels, do not get the broadest tire or the lowest wheel. Unless intended for heavy iiaullng, the medium light wheel will answer for all farm work. W. B. ANDERSON.

If a Proper Amount of Grain la Given, Applea Are Profitably Fed. If one ha* a nearby market where windfall* may be sold at a fair price, it will not pay to feed them to the hogs, but if the fruit must be shipped to commission men. then the hogs wifi make more profit from it.. The best way is to turn the swine into the orchard after all tho fruit is taken out one wishes to keep. After they have eaten what they want, turn them back Into the range, where they may have plenty of grass, which seems to be necessary properly to digest the apples. Once each day they should have a feed of com. For many years the writer has handled •wine In tbi* way and found that they put on flesh rapitlly and certainly at a small cost, for the grain ration was only about half what is fed when they have only the range to run over It was noticed that best results came from the sweet apples, although there was no hesitancy In turning them Into the orchard of sour apples for several hours dally.

In warm sections any* of the varieties will do well, but In colder regions success comes only with certain *orts. The whip-poor-will la peculiarly suited to the cooler sections and does well in the South. In many sections, and particularly North, the soy or soja bean is taking the place of cowpeas. in the South there Is little difference In their value. Experiments by our correspondents in Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota and In eeveral of the middle States indicate that it Is necessary to sow the early sorts of soy beans for the best results. The ordinary soy bean as grown In the South will not ripen in the North, hence loses much of Its value as a fodder plant as well as for plowing under. An acre of soy bean for feeding, either green or cured, will be a profitable investment, while If the poll is' pour the same area in cowpeas will do much toward bringing the sol! up if the peas are plowed under.

[Special to The Indianapolis News J —NOSHEN. Ind., September UL-After g* thirteen year* of study and axperimenUng. William Peering. a Vj 1 business man of this city, has perfected a grain-shocking device. which he claim* wtll fill a long-felt want among the fanners, and for which there is already a great demand for next year s harvest, though arrangements are not yet fully made for the manufacture, j It promise* to be the moat valuable ma- j chine for farm uee Invented In years. It can be attached to any style of binder, and is as near human In its mode of operation aa a machine could well be. It is , weighs ab n feet to th« be adjusted to any kind of grain, and to receive any number of bundles—this feature oeing made automatic; or it can be set for & certain number a shock, as the operator may desire. The device has been tested. Machine men from all portions of the country have been here to inspect it. and they pronounce It the simplest and most perfect device imaginable Several Chicago firms are now figuring on the manufacture of the shocker, to be placed on the market for next season, and negotiations are likely to be closed within a week. Air. Doenng wants to have ten thousand placed on the market the first year. Sets the Shock on End. The shocking device receives the bundles tn the same manner as a bundlecarrier. When a sufflclent amount for an ordinary shock has been deposited it will work side-wise (either automatically, or at the driver’s pleasure, as it may have been adjusted), and will set the shock on end, depositing the bundles on the ground hard. One arm of the device then moves forward with the binder, the other arm moves back and then over the shock, clearing it by from twenty to twenty-four Inches, depending on the night of the grain. The accompanying picture represents the device receiving oundles, with the inventor on the binder.

Frames of proper size and weight are covered with wire netting with meshes of various size. The upper mesh should be quite coarse and fastened Into the box about three Inches from the top. This is not to be taken out, but the frames | below are to be made so they will slide In and out readily. It is a good.plan to have more frames than slots, so that one may readily sift any grain one has This little arrangement is inexpensive and any one at all handy with tools could build one In a short time.

Selection of a Bull Should be Made Along Right Lines. The farmer who has become convinced that his herd can only be built up to a point of profit by the introduction of a grade bull needs to consider well the purpose for which the herd is to be used before he makes a choice of a sire. There Is too much buying on the basis of pedigree, pedigree is desirable, of course, but only when It fits In with the plan upon which one is working. If the dairy Is to be built up, the head of the herd should have an ancestry running through several generations on dairy lines. That he is the son of a famous butter cow is not enough. He must know how far back and how firmly seated this butter habit Is. ' Such an animal is expensive, you say. True, but when one considers the number of years which he may be used and what may be expected from his progeny, the cost Is comparatively small. If one Is not prepared to build up the herd on the host lines, bettei stick to the old crowd of common stock. Half-way measures are too expensive.

Through one end a hole Is btWred large enough to pass a rone one half Inch In diameter. ^Close to the other end. In the narrow paVt of the strip, screw In a hook, as shown. Through the hole in the one end pass a half-inch rope, tying it securely. This rope should be five or six feet long, and at the other end a rough handle be fastened. At frequent intervals loops are made in the rope as' indicated in the drawing To use, hold the two handles and cast the rope over the raspberry plant, drawing it taut until In the proper position; then slip one of the loops over the hook in the end of the large handle. This will hold the bush in position, so that one has the use of both | hands to tie the plant to the stake with ! rope provided for the purpose. Then unloosen the loop, take off the device and cast it about another plant in the same 1 way. By using this device one man can i do the work usually requiring the serv Ices of two men.

The real woman is the well woman. The sick woman is less than a real woman. It is a woman’s duty to avoid suffering, and this letter of Miss Thomas shows how “the untold misery” of painful periods and bearing down pains can be avoid-

ed by taking Wine of Cardui.

Wine of Cardui has cured many thousands of

women who were in the same condition as Miss Thomas. This pure vegetable Wine, taken in the privacy of the home, regulates disordered periods, which are the cause of bearing down pains, ovarian pains, convulsions, nervousness and hysteria. Wine of Cardui provides for a healthy and painless operation of periods at the proper intervals. And this important function becomes a healthful benefit instead of a dreadful torture. The health Miss Thomas today enjoys was given her by Wine of Cardui. It is your privilege to secure heakh by the same treatment. If your case seems to need special advice, write to the Ladies’ Advisory Department, The Chattanooga Medicine Co , and tell your symptoms.
