The wonderful growth of the business which Is rapidly spreading all over the United States, is a natural result of merit. That Root Juice is a : medicine of unusual merit Is unques tioned by those who 'are most fa miliar with the remedy. Hundreds of druggists throughout the country claim ft fc t DflAft TtfA la CAtH n r mnra nrttloA from their customers, and giving bet ter satisfaction than . any medicine they ever sold. W. A. Gutellus, a well known druggist of Bluf fton, Ind., in a letter to the company, wrote: "The . people here are speaking In the high est praise of the Juice. Frank High- : land, a prominent , farmer of Rock Creek 'township, bought a bottle of Hoot Juice, and within a week return ed and purchased two more bottles, I asked him If he had received any benefits from the Juice. He said he was more than pleased. Said he had ft son who had not been able to attend school for sixteen weeks on account . of severe stomach troubles. He would bloat and swell up as tight as a drum. Had two doctors treat him, but he got no relief. After taking Root Juice a short while the trouble entirely disap peared, and that his boy would soon Start to school again. Said he himself was troubled with Indigestion, and fw doses of Root t Juice gave him much relief. Wiley Messlc, a prom inent farmer of East Lancaster township, had beeu afflicted with stomach trouble tor the last twenty-five years. jo ray personal anowieage ne was a total physical wreck when he bought three bottles of Root Juice. But after - taking It he came back to my store an4 said he, wpcld not be fa the same condition that he was be'era taking Root Juice, for any consideration.

"TWENTY-FIVE TO THE HILL." Aim of Colorado Potato Grower Who Advocates Seed Selection. Of ail the factors In potato growing selection of seed is by far the most important Some twelve years ago a fanner. E. II. Grubb of Car bond ale, Colo.; undertook to Improve and develop a potato along the (same lines that he follows in improving his Sbropr' shire sheep and Shorthorn cattle, using the best method of selection and giving the seed plat the best possible cultivation and Irrigation in order to obtain uniformity of product. Since that time be has been selecting seed potatoes of the size and type which be .wants to produce. As a' twelve ounce potato is about ideal In size, seed potatoes of wmmmmmmsm PBODCCTOF A SIKOIiB EOLIfc -Showingheavy yield and fair uniformity. that size were selected from the bin in the spring, and then four or five acres were planted in a special plat for seed to be used for the maiu crop the following year. This plan was followed for twelve years with a potato (the Perfect Peacbblow) which, it was said, would degenerate and ultimately run out, but that potato continued to Improve during ull that time. Three years ago Professor E.. R; Bennett, a specialist in potato work from the east, came to tbe state agricultural college. He became interested in tbe work Mr. Grubb was doing and freely complimented hhu on his success in potato production, but be wanted to take up and further improve the stock. Out of specially selected seed he selected perfect tubers and planted them In a field by themselves, and wbeu the potatoes were ready to barvest all of them were dug by hand and the product of each bill kept separate.' All hills that did not have twenty tubers of uniform size without knot, crack or rough end were discarded. No bill was selected unless it came within these requirements, and surprisingly few bills were found which passed muster. .Enough were selected, however, to make about 200 pounds, and these were planted tbe following spring When harvested it was a most marvelous row of potatoes. By pursuing this method it is hoped eoon to have a potato that will make twentyfive perfect tubers to the hill. In selecting potatoes in the - field considerable dependence can be placed On ' the appearance of the tops. ' A large perfect top, with several stems of good shape and size, can be de ; PBODUCT or A SWOUB HILL Showing uniformity of slzo and shape j resulting from selection of seed. pended upon to have more tubers under it and of more ' uniform quality and size than a hill with a single stalk or one with small, weak stems. One of the essential and most important factors fpr success in this industry is tbe selection of perfect seed stock frbm the bill In much the same way as seed corn Is selected in the field from the best Individual stalks. .There Is no other way to ; get true breed characteristics ' In potatoes except by selecting seed 'from the perfect hill. , Chloroforming Plants. A remarkable series of experiments In the use of anaesthetics to increase plant ' gtowth has been made recently at the Vermont experimental station of tbe United States department of agriculture by: Professor W, Stuart, the bead of . the station, f The distinguished German botanist, Jobannson. in 1900 discovered that ether and chloroform administered to plants during their, rest period cut short that period and ens bled them to send forth shoots earlier than : usual. This action of drugs is the reverse of the action upon man, ether, chloroform and their kind rendering dormant many of the functions of the human organism. .' Jobannson, beyond giving as a theory that certain functions which lend to retard plant growth during tbe rest period are neutralized by the anaesthetics, did not volunteer an explanation of the phenomena be evoked. Corncobs Useful. Save the corncobs. . They are good for smoking the meat in the absence of hickory wood. . and they are splendid for burning to a charred condition for the hogs. ' Tbe surplus cobs should all go into the ' manure. They are good absorbers of liquids and improvers of soli : texture, besides ; supplying some fertilizing elements and adding humus to the soil. To Balance a Ration. ::f In order to balance a ration and apposing the farmer baa grown corn and timothy hay, he should purchase clover, bay. ' bras and oilmeaL Corn and clover bay make a fairly well balanced ration, tbe corn furnishing the carbohydrates and the clover the orotein and mineral matter. - He Reded.

Of Interest to

This matter must not be reprinted without special permission. A HANDY SCRAPER. A very bandy scraper in some sections dabbed Mormon" Is mad by using a plank 2 by 12 inches and about eight feet long. On fbe : front and lower edge of this should be fastened by bolts eighteen Inches apart a strong strip of Iron three or four Inches wide and an eighth of an inch thick, this giving the scraping'': edge. Into the plank from the back side should be mortised obliquely a couple of two by fours or sixes about three. feet apart and a trifle below the center of the plank, so that the ends will be about a foot and a half apart and flat side up. To these should be nailed a cross board off two on which to stand. A chain is the gear which is most convenient In hauling tbe scraper, and this can be Inserted through two Inch holes bored a foot from each end and at about tbe middle of the plank and fastened to strong hardwood pegs running across the grain of tbe plank, so as to lessen the likelihood of splitting. For short, hauls this will handle more earth than three ordinary horse scrapers, v works fine in scraping up loose manure In yard or feed lot or will do very effective work as a pulverizer or road drag. When loading as a scraper two men should stand so as to throw the bulk of their weight on tbe scraping edge. It Is dumped easily by stepping off and throwing the platform forward with tbe hand. COTTONSEED MEAL AS A STOCK RATION. Bulletin No. 131 Issued by the South Carolina experiment .station in 1007 takes up quite fully tbe feeding of cottonseed meal as a concentrate with corn silage, and the results of experiments .conducted indicate that the combination makes a very effective one aud that cottonseed meal may be fed In much larger quantities than has been genera Ily supposed was advisable. It was found that from five to six pounds of meal per cow' with corn silage could be fed daily without affecting tbe health of the animals.. In fact, with such a feed their health was exceptionally good. . The ration was consumed with great relish at tbe end of a live months feeding period, the cows continuing to prefer the silage to bright, dry bay. and on no ration which had been given them in previous years did they produce more milk and butter fat. The ration was also the cheapest that could be fed, its -value being considered due in . a large measure to tbe fact that well ripened corn rich in grain was used for silage, which' furnished the carbohydrates necessary to balance the protein of the cottonseed meat. PRUNING SHADE TREES. A reader of these notes living at Muscatine, la., writes, inquiring what he can do to help tbe looks of some old and rather scraggly appearing box elders wants to know If pruning will help them and when It is best to do It. While a first hand Inspection would be necessary to give the most valuable detail advice, we should think that Bucb trees might be helped much by pruning provided they are not too far gone and possess reserve vitality suf flcient to withstand the pruning oper atlon. From the very nature of the case each tree should be pruned In such way that the new tree will have tbe best shape possible. The Job may be done during, the winter months or after the leaves are two-thirds out. but not while the sap is running, as the loss of vitality would be great, as In the case of the maples. Wonders can be done by the judicious pruning of shade trees, and an increasing duom ber of property owuers are putting the method into practice, thereby greatlj Improving the appearance of their premises. A FELLOW'S CREDIT. There is probably no respect in which tbe young man who is trying to get ahead in a business way shbuld exercise greater care than In the pro tection or nis credit. v This means. first of all. that he should apply himself and earn some uxney so as to establish bis credit. Later, when he bor rows money, be should see to It that his payments : are ' made A at the times agreed " on before rather than after. And it Is well for him to keep In mind the further fact that In tbe lending of money tbe banker not only takes stock of the visible chattels and property of tne oorrower. ms tnnrt ana industry. bar. thf .kind of man be is and the reputation he bears In the community This Js where the definite advantage of clean living comes in. and it Is a connection that should be emphasized and realized more frequently than is the case, for with tbe hanker tt Is a factor f hat is kept always In view The fellow who earns little and squan ders this, and more, cannot , borrow a shilling of. any reputable banking bouse. ; and . the reason is plain be neglects his credit. Prices are never too high for what a fellow has to sell and never too low to suit for those articles or product be may. have to buy. . . If the flock of poultry do not have a range which will enable them to get all the green food they need It Is well to sow a bed of lettuce, turnips or rape for them so that this lack may be supplied daring tbe summer months. ; They greatly relish this green food and will respond In a larger egg production. Tbe beginner in tbe poultry business often makes the 'mistake of trying to raise too many chicks and keep , too many fowls in the quarters which are available. This overcrowding tends to undermine the health and vitality of the flock and in so far to defeat tbe very object In' view in sock overcrowdingnamely, tbe profit to be had in i etui us. Tbe cheapest as well as safest ny klDer is a teaspoonfnl of .formalin added to nab? a pint of water, tbe notation being pat in any convenient shallow dish- Tbe flies will be attracted toit tspre.aeickly HL tltte sagar js

Every gardener and fruit grower, even though operating on a small scale, should equip . himself i with a mall hand sprayer, of. which there are several good makes on the market. I This can be used In the spraying of berry bushes sud potato vines, while It can be used with good results in giving the interior of benhouse or stable a spray wit b an lusecllckle or disinfectant. By using a ladder tbe outfit may also be used quite effectively In tbe spraying of small fruit trees. While the ordinary four orIx shov el corn cultivator canuot be- entirely dispensed ' with in handling the cory crop, more scientific cultivation of tbe soil as well as a more thorough killing of weeds, can be effected with the knife or surface cultivator, it takes a little time to get the knives to working at their best, but wbeu the operator gets them adjusted once so that they scour and do the work be has little further trouble. Many corn growers will use nothing else for tbe later till ing of the held, when the soil is dry enough to work. .. -.t', - Tbe dairyman who is wide awake and keeping up with tbe procession has already eliminated the loafers from bis herd of cows by tueans of tbe Babcock tester, while those run dowu with disease he has got rid of by applying the tuberculin test. On the other hand, there are scads of fellows, dairymen, so called, who are still shinning along in the same old slipshod manner, not knowing and seemingly . not caring whether tbeir cow are paying their way or not. Little short of an earth quake would wake tbem up. aud It Is questionable if they were aroused if tbey would have gumption enough to take advantage of the opportunity. A Holstoln cow. Princess Cariotta. owned by tbe Missouri experiment sta tion, gave last year 18.405 pounds of milk, which, with the 618 pounds of butter fat made therefrom, contained more human food than is represented by the complete carcasses ' of four steers weighing 1.250 each. The quantity of milk in question contained a to tal of 2,218 poqnds of dry matter, as follows: Protein. 552 pounds; fat. CIS pounds; sugar, 920 pounds; ash. 128 pounds. As the carcass of a . 1.250 pound steer is 50 per cent water, each would ; represent 548 pounds of dry matter. In view of such a milk yield as this, one can readllyappreciate that a cow Is.-" in fact, a machine, highly organized and sensitive and that ber ration, both as to composition and quantity, is a most important matter. Now and then one unwittingly of necessity moves into a bouse that is al: ready inhabited with the notorious bedbug, the, bane and object of loathing of every cleanly housewife. A friend who was confronted with just such a situation as this resorted to the sulphur method, which consisted of sprinkling about three pounds of sulphur on half an iron kettle of live hardwood' coals. It did the business. The sulphur fumes penetrated everywhere, coming out of the cellar windows and through thy cracks in tbe ajilnles. where dead bugs were found alway You can't find a store where the

A handy trellis on which to train raspberry, dewberry and logao berry vines consists of three wires properly supported by ports and crosspiecew. two of the wires which are at the our side being of equal height and about two and one-half feet apart. The third wire is between them, about a foot above. ; The first season's growth of vines may be trained along the lower side wires, while the following eason tbey may be fastened to the; higher wIm ni lh .Ma vim. imaH as before for the new growth. By this method the fruitiug vines may be kept separate from the new growth, while v the berries are borne where they cau be got at easily without scratching the ' ' t hands. The nost need nut he n'aeed ui more rrrauem intervals cnan are necessary to support the weight of the1 vines, as the wires can be stretched taut by proper bracing at each end of tbe stretch cf trellis.

Cockleburs. quack grass and a good many other weed pests that might be named are often tbe direct result of a system of absentee landlordism iu which shortsighted, stingy proprietors and shiftless one year renters play the leading roles. In such cases the only effective way to get rid of the pest would be to revolutionize the system and banish or convert to a better agricultural way both landlord and tenant. One of the largest recorded yields of potatoes is 072 bushels per acre, cred-v lted to a grower In the state of Wyo. ming. This' showing will be the better understood : when tt Is remembered that the average annual yield for the whole country Is just about one-tenth this amount, or between eighty-fire and a hundred bushels per acre. The fellows who are making tbe most money in the potato business are not tbe ninety-seven bushel type. The western mountain quail, while closely resembling In size and habit his eastern cousin, possesses an Individuality quite his own. Instead of a whistle which saya "Bobwhlter the western quail has a call which has been interpreted to mean "Sit right here." and the quaint little call" Is given In a very sharp and authoritative manner.
