"When I first read of the remarkable - able effects of Grape-Nuts food , I do- 'termlnod to secure some , " says a worn- un In Salisbury , Mo. "At that time there was none kept In this town , but my husband ordered some from a Chicago cage traveler. "I had boon greatly nnilcted with sudden attacks of cramps , nausea , und vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians , but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "My old attacks of sick stomach vdro a little slower to yield , but by 'continuing the food , that trouble has disappeared entirely. I nm today perfectly - foctly well , can cat anything and .everything . I wish , without paying the penalty that I used to. Wo would not jkcop house without Grape-Nuts. "My husband was so delighted with 'tho benefits I received that ho has boon recommending Grnpo-Nuta to his .customers and has built up n very 'largo ' trade on the food. He sells them 'by the case to many of the leading physicians of the county , who recom mend Grape-Nuts very generally. 'Thoro is some satisfaction in using a really scientifically prepared food.

The OocMmeirat That Made " American : Freemenn ONGRI5SS in 177C hat put Into the hands o John Adams n n i Thomas Jefferson the drafting of the Declara tlon of Independence writes Fullerton L Waldo in the Phlla dolphia Ledger. The two collaborators had a clear idea of the or tides of which the Dec laration was to consist , for there had been prolonged discussions in com mittee , of which careful notes were taken. The little sub-committee of two men mot and conferred together , and Jefferson asked Adams to take the written memoranda to his lodg ings and there prepare the draft. flut Adams , self-cffaclngly , Insisted that the laborious honor should fall to his colleague. 'You are a Virginian , " said Adams , "and I am a Massachusetts man. You ara a southerner and 1 'am from the north ; I have been so obnoxious for my early and constant zeal In promo ting the measure that any draft of mine would undergo a more severe scrutiny and criticism In congress than one of your composition. And finally and that would bo reason enough if thmro were no other I have a great opinion of the elegance of your pen and none at all of my own. " Whereupon , bowing deeply and with protestations of mutual regard , the patriots wont their several ways , Jef ferson with the manuscript under his arm. And In a day or two they mot again and "conn'd the paper over. " "I was delighted with Its high tone , " Adams wrote In 1822 to Timothy Pick ering. But to the part containing the denunciation of King George ho took exception. "I thought the expression too passionate and too much llko scoldIng - Ing for so grave and solemn a docu ment. " Nevertheless , ho had no amendment to suggest , and the draft 1 go down In history alongside of Paul Rovere's and Philip Sheridan's. In default fault of missing dotnll the Imagination must provide the picture of the tall , gaunt spectre of a man , half-masked and riding llko a demon , urging hie steed onward through the night with whip and spur , along a road abounding In pitfalls , with black miles separating ono warm , yellow cabin light from the next. What won ho thinking of as ho rode onward ? Not of the pain of the cancer , slowly eating away hln counte nance and sapping bin vitality ; not of the risk ho ran , a solitary horseman , of being waylaid and robbed or mur dered upon the lonely Journey. He hooded not the hunger and the sleep lessness ; ho was thinking only of the fact that his vote would turn the day for Delaware ; Delaware , though a lit tle state , might Influence Pennsylva nia , and so the vote of the colonies would bo unanimous for a declaration that would Immortalize the men who made and signed it , and enfranchise the people of the 13 colonies and their descendants. Next day , Thursday. July 4 , as the members wore assembling at the state house door , a rider , booted and spurred and covered with the dust of night- and-day travel , dismounted In their midst , and when , a little later , Caesar Ilodnoy rose in his place , still breath ing hard , and said , "I vote for Inde pendence , " the result was that the vote of Delaware was cast In favor of the declaration , Pennsylvania , by three of her five delegates present , supported Delaware's action , and thus by the ride of Rodney the unanimous vote of the colonies ( with the solitary and tem porary exception of Now York ) was that day secured for the Magna Charta of our American liberties. "It was two o'clock in the after noon , " Losslng tells us , "when the final decision was announced by Secretary - rotary Thomson. Whoii the secretary sat down a deep sllenco pervaded that u i Famous Old Independence Hall. of the declaration was put before the committee of five Just as Jefferson had prepared It. The desk upon which the declara tion was drafted la in the library ot the Btato department at Washington. It was exhibited at Buffalo in the Pan- American exposition In 1901. The llnal debate In congress , in the committee of the whole , upon the adoption of the Declaration of Inde pendence began at nine o'clock on Monday , July 1. On that day Pennsyl vania , seven of whoso delegates were present , voted against adoption. The vote of Delaware , having two dele gates present , was divided. Thereupon McKean of Delaware , who had voted affirmatively , wrote a frantic letter to the absent Delaware delegate , Caesar Rodney. Imploring him to come and cast his vote , and thus turn the scale for Delaware , for It was highly probable that If Dela ware supported the declaration Penn sylvania would follow suit. Rodney at the tlmo was 80 miles away , at Dover , at ono or the other of his farms , Byflold and Poplar Grove. Ho suffered tortures from the cancer , which , starting on his nose , had spread 1 all over ono sldo of his face , so that ho had to wear a green silk shlold to hldo the disfigurement ; It was of this chronic affliction that ho died. A con temporary chronicle describes him as "an animated skeleton Indeed , all spirit , without corporeal integument. " McKean's messenger loft Philadel phia late In the afternoon of July 1. It was necessary to got Rodney back to Independence hall by July 4 , the day appointed for taking the vote upon the adoption of the declaration.

Practise cleanliness In every dotal Good butter cannot be made union cleanliness is the watchword. Milk your cows in the same orde every day. Cows know the dlfferenc and it affects their flow of milk. You should not only know ho much each cow produces , but ho\ much It costs to do the producing. Mangels and ensilage replace on another as succulent foods for mill production , but the ensilage 1 cheaper.

Twenty-throe acres of corn after rye , planted June l , with cow poaa drilled between rows at the first culti vation , produced at the Now Jersey experiment station 314,8 tons of silage. The total cost was $3.51 per ton in tbo silo. COST OF FILLING THE SILI Bulletin Issued by Department of AC rlculture Gives Average Yield JB 9.01 Per Aero. Bulletin 202 Issued by the Unltc < States department of agriculture 01 "Cost of Killing Slloa" gives the aver age yield of sllago per acre as 9.01 The author visited 31 farms during the silo filling season and took notes or the number and arrangement of inei : and teams , the machinery used , longtl of time , etc. The results obtained an very valuable Inasmuch as they arc not the results obtained by one fnrraei under certain conditions. The fanm visited are all located In Jefferson and Fond du Lac counties , Wisconsin where the silo has been in quite gen eral use for several years. The average cost per ton of silage was Gt cents , and the average cost ol putting the corn In the silo waa $ fi.9S Filling With a Slat Elevator. per acre. The lowest cost for putting the corn In the silo was 4C cents per ton and the highest 8C cents. In regard to partnership arrangements - ments among the farmers the bulletin says : "Tho high cost of machinery for cutting silage and the difficulty In procuring help prevent many farmers from building silos. It is highly Impor tant to be able to get an outfit when it s' needed. An early frost or a spell of hot , dry weather may , HO affect the crop that it is necessary to illl the silo several days before the usual time , for this season a man should own his cutter and engine , especially If enough silage Is cut each year to war rant this outlay of capital. It is usu ally easier to hire an engine than It is i cutter. For this reason many buy the latter and depend on being able to rent the former when it is needed , riio next best arrangement to owning in outfit individually is for two or hroe farmers In the same neighbor- lootl to buy the necessary machinery n partnership. The illustration shows an excellent nethod of filling a silo by means of a ilat elevator. DAIRYING PAYS BIG PROFITS Requires Unremitting Attention , But Returns Are Large and Practi cally Sure No Holiday. ( > MIM.EU PURVIS. ) Dairying is a confining business to be sure. It requires dally attention and the work must be done with regu larity , each duty requiring attention nt practically the same hour , week if tor week , rain or shine , Sunday , Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. It IP this everlasting routine that prevents a great many from taking up dairying as n regular part of the farm work. It Is the American distaste for being bound down and hedged in that keeps the dairy part of our farm work very milch In the background. Notwithstanding this undesirable phase of dairying , it has some advan tages which producing grain , hay or live stock for market have not. it Is a business on which the oper- iitor Is able to count without much lunger of having his plans miscarry an account of wet or dry weather , aarly or late frosts , or any other of the things which so often mar the projects of the most careful husband man. man.With With a little forethought the dairy- nan may be as free from worry about ho weather as any other man living. Mow high or blow low the cows come ome and the consuming public Is eady to take all the butter that Is n'oduced , or the creamery or cheese octory Is waiting to weigh in the ullk and distribute checks every lontli. This is another advantage. The Ive stock breeder must wait two , hree or live years for his cattle to et in shape for market , the swine breeder gets his money only once a oar and the sheepman Is likely to iave his profits knocked away by arlff agitation or a big crop of wool n Australia , or a sudden panic among he "predatory wealthy. " Empires may fall and nations dls- ipear , until the map of Europe looks Ike a western landscape after a cy- lone , but people must have milk , but- er and eheese and the price gels a Ittle better every year. No dairyman iced worry about the result of the lection for Republicans , Democrats and Socialists ill Ike need the products of the dairy or they will not feel that hey are getting what Is coming to hem. i The money from the dairy comes veekly. or at longest , monthly , and It K a cash deal all the tlnio.

The dairyman who does not improve his land every year mist lie awake nights studying how 0 keep It from growing more fertile. Selling milk is about the hardest vay to use a dairy farm , but ho who ells butterfat soils nothing but sun- bine , for n ton of butter Isn't worth 1 wagon load of stable manure as a 'ertlllzer.
