THE SOUND SLEEP OF GOOD HEALTH The restorative power of sound sleep can not be over estimated and any ailment that prevents it is a menace to health. J. L. Southers, Eau Claire, Wis., says: "For a long time I have been unable to sleep soundly nights, because of pains across my back and soreness of my kidneys. My appetite was very poor and my general condition was much run down. I have been taking Foley's Kidney Pills but a short time and now sleep as sound as a rock. I eat and enjoy my meals, and my general condition is greatly improved. I can honestly recommend Foley's Kidney Pills as I know they have cured me." Sold by all druggists.. ; AUTO TRUCKS FOR FARM. Handy Horseless Vehicle Gradually Coming Into Agricultural Use One of the latest developments is the automobile truck for heavy hauling on the farm. The accompanying Illustration shows one of these big gasoline driven vehicles doing heavy duty on a Virginia farm where until a few years ago the patient ox team drew tbe big . loads. That the auto truck is penetrating the byways of the south is a significant sign of the times. For some years tbe horseless dray has been at work on many of tbe great western farms. Now it Is becoming known in older communities. Tbe auto truck where the roads are fairly good Is of inestimable service -- a,:w.:-. v. i 7,-riti..Vi--V )) ' !..r ..." . . .- AUTO TKVCK FOB VA.BK BAUUH& In battling produce" to town and In conveying machinery or building ma terial from one part of the farm to another. Some farmers who have ac quired this con enient vehicle help to pay for It by hiring its services to their neighbors upon demand. Of course the cost of a farm truck Is too high at present for the small farmer to find It a paying proposition, but each year the price is decreasing, while it ifi said the serviceability of tSe trucks increases. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth is planningto establish a. Hone Hall for the j convicts of Louisiana. About a year ago wtlle visiting New Orleans she offered to furnish tt proposed institution provided twel e members of the Louisiana Trison Reform Association would each subscribe $200. A few weeks ago she returned to New Orleans and at a lecture delivered in Rayne Memorial church renewed her offer. In a few minutes five men had subscribed $200 each . and 150 members of the reform association pledged themselves to raise the balance. .

Some of the worst blunders that are made by tillers of the soli and those engaged in animal husbandry are the result of practicing shortsighted initial economies the attempt to save in first cost followed by increased losses later on. To this class of economies belong tbe purchase of scrub or cheap grade sires for tbe dairy or beef herds, the use of poor seed on high priced land when good seed costing a half more would give three ttaes tbe crop return, tbe use of wornout and dilapidated machinery and tools when money would be made by tbe use of those new and up to date, the plodding along in the same old rut in tbe dairy without Babcock tester or cream separator when money could be made by the use of both, the refusal to buy a manure spreader or other labor saving devices which would make possible a maximum utilization of the various farm resources and. lastly, tbe use of tbe old. played out fuel wasting stove and furnace when the new would do vastly better work at a minimum consumption of fuel. This is but a partial list of false economies, but enough have been mentioned to suggest a profitable line of thought. This fault may be summa rized in the statement that the trouble lies in holding the .copper or nickel to close to one's eye that it ruins one's perspective of the real value of things and obscures the distant dollar or eagle that might be made were a more in telligent and enlightened policy adopted. SOME SILO ADVANTAGES. In many sections of the corn beit during the past few months corn has not only spoiled from being left in tbe field as a result of heavy snows, which made husking impossible, but considerable quantities of that which was cribbed also spoiled because it was not properly dried out when stored. But that corn which was cut in season and put in the silo was safe not only from frost damage, but from possibility of rot and mildew as well. There ought to be a suggestion in this all too general situation for tbe farmer wbo would -combine the best intelligence with brawn in his farming operations. There is no debating the question that tbe silo offers both the safest and the most economical method for handling this great cereal staple of tbe country. It is none too early now to begin making plans for a silo if one contemplates Installing one next fall, as a study of plans and types of silos should be made, while a visit to sev eral farms where they are in success ful operation, coupled with inquiries made of tbe owners as to their experience with them, would be time very well spent. The greatest agricultural leak in the country today is the result of the present careless methods of handling , the sorn crop. The use of the silo offers t'ae best way out. THE LAWIN-3 CHAP.. We have in mind a fellow who is everlastingly at law about something or other. Part of the time it is because be fancies he has been wronged in some way by those with whom ho has had dealings, while the rest of the time be is a defendant in suits brought by his fellows who feel that he hat been an offender in an attempt to gev what did not belong to him. While seemingly a strong believer in the law as a corrective' of the ills from which folks suffer and a generous contributor toward the maintenance of its machinery, be now aad then is hauled into court for open violation of the statutes. It goes without saying that this chap is a mighty disagreeable person to get along with, his rating as a man being away below par in the family as well as in the community in which he lives. He makes rich plucking for tbe lawyers, who are the only ones who are the gainers from the squabbles and suits in which he becomes involved. THE STRAWBERRY BED. In view of the fact that strawberries are among tho most delicious of the garden fruits It seems ' strange that more folks do pot have a patch to supply the familj table and, if tbe bed does well, to sell to the neighbors. The plants should be set in rows from two and one-h.lf to three and one-half feet apart, depending upon whether the hill or row system of culture is followed, while the plants should be from one and one-half to two feet apart in the raw, depending somewhat upon the variety. The bed should be set while there is sufficient moisture in the ground, should be given frequent cultivation and kept free from weeds and watered if the rainfall is not sufficient If the plants are not real thrifty all blossoms should be snipped off the season the plants are set out. When a bed has produced two full crops it should be plowed up and some legume sown to give the land a rest. -lire time It tattes a" fellow to set fire to a pile of rubbish that be wants to dispose of makes him scratch his bead to see how a barn will catch fire from simply throwing down a supposedly dead match or tbe stub of a cigar. Many a failure to get a start in alfalfa seems traceable to a need of liming and sweetening the soil or to use of seed and soil neither of which has "-rv inoculated with the bacteria There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few vears was suDDOted to be . incurable. For a nreat many year .doctors pro nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly faillna- to cure with local treatment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a. constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. - Hall's Catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Co.. Toledo. Ohio.

the Farmers

wnose pr&ence "seems qui. Indispensable to the best growth of the legume. When the cow seems greedy for dirt or paint or wants to gnaw old bones it is fair to assume that there is lacking from her ration some element which she ought to have, and. this is quite likely to be bone forming matter. The difficulty may be righted by feeding wheat bran or giving bonemeal in the ground feed occasionally and seeing that tbe cow has plenty of salt. It will be well for gardeners of a competitive turn of mind who live north of the latitude of Tennessee to pass up trying to win the $1,000 prize offered by a well known seed bouse for a bush lima bean stalk bearing 600 pods. The limn bean is to all intents and purposes a tropical plant and requires a degree of heat for its best development, found only In tbe southernmost states. - It speaks well for the type of instruction which is given at the agricultural short courses over the country that three of the five silver cups given by the Milwaukee chamber of commerce for the best exhibits of spring wheat, winter rye and Oderbrucker barley were won by a young mac, a graduate of the 1907 class of tbe short course school. Thus tbe day has gone by, if it ever was. when a fellow has to be gray beaded before be can succeed in agricultural, horticultural or animal husbandry lines. 4 Where the pruning of the orchard has been neglected and the putting of the tree in proper shape would necessitate very heavy cutting of surplus branches it is well to do part of the work one season and complete it tbe next instead of doing it all up at one time, as one's natural inclination often is. Spreading the job out over two or even three seasons relieves the tree of a shock that often results in permanent injury. Of course this refers chiefly to pears and apples, for the peach stands far heavier pruning than either without injury. - If moss luxuriates on the shingles and snails are now and then seen clinging to the clapboards and doorknobs it is presumptive evidence, unless one lives in a section where it rains all the time, that there is tooj much shade about tbe house. If such is the case some of it should be removed, whether through the removal of whole trees or the trimming up and thinning of the branches. Sunshine is recognized by all health authorities as one of the most effective germ destroyers known, and unless a good supply of It plays on tbe house and the ground immediately surrounding things are too wet and a decidedly unhealthful condition prevails which ought to be righted. The Crop Reporter for February, issued under the supervision of the department of agriculture at Washington, contains some Interesting statistics relative" to the number and value of farm animals in the country Jan. 1, 1910, as compared with" the showing of a year prior. The number of horses shown on Jan. 1, 1910, is 21,040,000, their value being placed at $2,276,333.000, or an average of $108.19 per head. This Is an Increase In number of 400,000, while tbe average value per head shows an increase of about $12.50 for the period. The total num ber of mules at the last report was 4,123,000, an .increase of 70.000 during the year and an increase in value per animal of $12. Although swine show a decrease in numbers of 6,365,000 in a total of 47.782,000. the increase in total value is $81,809,000. or $2.50 per head during the year. The number of sheep is placed at 57,216.000. This is an increase during tbe year of 1,132,000, the total increase in value being $41,032,000, or 65 cents per head. Apparently seedsmen the country over don't relish being advertised as venders of adulterated grass seeds, for the number . who have been found guilty of the practice in seed investigations made by the federal seed test ing departments in different parts of the country are far fewer than the number reported the preceding year. Of 630 samples of red clover seed tested by the department last season but fifty-four, or less than 10 per cent, were found adulterated as compared with over 50 per cent adulterated in " the samples of seed examined in 1908. The seed examined is bought on tbe open market and if found to contain impurities or adulterations the per cent of such admixtures, together with the names of the firms selling, is printed and given wide circulation in pamphlets . issued by the .department. .If

'Scrimping the salary given to a first class buttermaker is like planting cheap seed corn at $1 a bushel when first class seed could be secured for from S3 to $6. . We have known of creamery companies losing thousands of dollars by just such a policy as this "penny wise and pound f oolish kind. A partition fence 1 may prove a source of good will and neighbor I iness or enmity, depending upon whether the respective owners do or do no) meet their obligations connected therewith. The same principle works out much the same with a number of other matters of everyday life which might be named. The one great advantage that western states have over central and eastern is in the nearly ideal conditions which prevail during the harvest season of small grain and forage crops. Because of this it is possible to leave small grain standing weeks after it is fit to cut and to take alfalfa from the stack as bright and green as tbe day it was made. Whatever may be the net result of the congressional investigation into the Balllnger-Pinchot affair so far as either man or the public welfare is concerned, it is nevertheless a fact that a good deal of information is be ing made public which is not only In teresting but highly entertaining to the public and of a type, by the way, which certain Interested mining, railway and timber syndicates would quite likely a great deal rather have kept in the dark. 1 A very simple preventive of the contraction of diseases, chiefly typhoid, from an impure water supply lies in bringing to a boiling point all vater which is used for drinking purposes or taken into the mouth for the washing of the teeth or gargling of the throat. Such treatment of water will destroy any disease germs which it may contain. Of course such precautions will avail but little if tbe family milk supply is taken from cans which are rinsed with cold water from the same foul well. Whether in the case of neighbors or members of the same household, it holds that when two people set out to see how meau they can be they seem to succeed, each surpassing the other by a good lap every turn in the game, to tbe increasing wrath and discomfiture of both parties coucerned. On the other hand, if tbe contest is one in which there Is au effort to outdo one another in consideration and kindness the results are also cumulative, being edifying rather than destructive and contributing substantially to the cause of human happiness and decent living..

rowing a field wet! established for tne purpose of killing out grass aud weeds could not possibly destroy the stand. One alfalfa farmer whose case was reported to us tbe other day went over such a field with a spring tooth harrow, then disked the piece and followed this with several dragging, which left the soil as mellow as would be required as a seed bed for. small grain, hardly any alfalfa crowns showing at the time the process of renovation was finished. That it did not damage the field a bit was shown in his getting tbe best alfalfa crops that season that be had had in years.

There would seem to be slight excuse for shoddy and Indifferent farm ing in communities where land is worth from $60 to $100, and far less excuse for this type of management in fruit valleys where land is priced at from $300 to $1,500 an acre, yet not withstanding this just such fellows are too often run across, and the query that naturally arises in tbe mind of the newcomer from the sections of lower priced land is what tbe owners f such abused and neglected properties can be thinking of. The situation as indicated simply goes to show that whether in sections of low or high priced land it is. after all. the type of management rather than favorable or unfavorable climatic and soil conditions that may prevail that is responsible for the measure of success- achieved in the great majority of cases. The excellent state experiment stations scattered over tbe country and maintained by taxes which come out of the pockets of every property owner are doing a most valuable work along the several lines to which they are giving attention, but their usefulness could be measurably increased would agriculturists and horticulturists refer to tbe experts in charge oftener than they do matters on which information would be valuable. For instance, most all of the experiment stations will test and report on tbe impurities contained in grass seed, will test stock foods, the vitality of corn and other seeds, will identify the fungous and insect enemies of fruit trees as well as noxious weeds and give brief methods of eradication and answer dozens of other questions that arise in everyday farm management. Experiment stations are established for tbe use of the public, and the more frequent the demands made upon them for information and assistance the more fully do they perform .their mission.

A DOG DETECTIVE Even Outdoes the Famous Sherlock Holmes in Running Down Clues. HAS A WIDE REPUTATION

Moscow, April 9. The criminal classes are beginning to believe that the police dog Tref is possessed of an evil spirit. It was rumored recently lu the night shelters and criminal dens of Moscow that Tref and his keeper were on the tracks of certain robbers, and were about to scour the town. Trers reputation Is such that this report resulted in a partial retirement among those whose records and consciences were not clear. It transpired that a number of bank notes and other valuables had been stolen from a Moscow man, named Pokrofsky. Tref ; was ; put on tho scent of the thief, and. after taking a circuitous course, entered a night shelter and made straight for an old coat known under the name of Alexander. The money was found in one of the pockets of the coat ' " Tref then left the night shelter and.' still hot on the scent, went to the shop of a second-hand dealer, named Gusset and here a number of silver articles, stolen from M. Pokrofsky, were discovered. A cabman drove up at the time, and complained that he had just been robbed of a fur coat and an ordinary overcoat Tref was at once taken to tbe scene of the theft, and within a few minutes found the clothing concealed in the court yard of a neighboring house.
