One of his patients says: "During the summer just past I suf fered terribly with a heavy feeling at tho pjt of my stomach and dizzy feel ings in my head and then a blindness would come over my eyes so I would have to sit down. I would get so nerv ous I could hardly control my feelings. "Finally I spoke to our family physi cian about It and ho asked If I drank much coffee and mother told him that I did. Ho told me to immediately stop drinking coffee and drink Postum In Its place, as ho and his family had used Postum and found It a powerful rebullder and delicious food-drink. "I hesitated for a time, disliking the Idea of having to give up my coffee, but finally I got a package and found it to bo all the doctor said. "Since drinking Postum In place of coffee my dizziness, blindness and nervousness are all gone, my bowels are regular nnd I am well and strong.

I EXPERIMENT IN ORCHARD CULTIVATION 1 An Old Apple (By M n CONOVKU) Tho orchard in question was in sod of permanent orchard-grass when it came Into my possession four years ago, having been seeded two or three years before. Three of tho four years since I bought it, this section has suf fered severe di oughts in the sum mer. Thero wns quite a lot of dead wood In tho orchard, and this was cut out tho first year. The scars healed over with bark in many instances, indicat ing a vigorous condition of the trees. The noxt year a more drastic prun ing was given, and the succeeding year a good crop of fruit was borne. Tho soil of an adjoining field re ceived thorough cultivation, and this extended under the outer row of ap ple trees. The third year the trees through the center of the orchard be gan to die back to an alarming degreo and the foliage turned a sickly yel lowish green. Examination revealed no scale in sect, but I feared some Invisible pest was at work in my orchard and my trees must go. However, early last spring I turned under tho sod in the entire orchard and have cultivated the soil all the, season. Tho trees are toning up, but It is going to take more than a couple of years to get back to normal condition if not longer. KILLING BORERS IN THE ORCHARD TREES Apple and Peach Growers Alike Must Deal With Pest No Preventive Measures. Tho fall Is tho best time In tho year to examine the trees for traces of wood borers. Tho apple grower and tho peach grower alike must deal with these pests that are often unno ticed until they have seriously injured many trees. It takes a careful examination to detect tho presence of these borers when they arc first beginning to in jure tho trees. You can usually lo cate them by tho dust, like sawdust, only finer, that is thrown out by tho borer as It strikes deeper Into tho bark and wood, says an Illinois writer In Farm Progress. These "castings" are found near tho surface of tho ground In most Instances. If the trecB are badly affected by the larvae of tho borers they may look weak and sickly- An early yel lowing of the leaves on certain trees should be Investigated as this may mean that tho borers aro endnngerlng tho life of the trees. It Is better to glvo tho trees some Inspection from time to tlmo in order to head off any nttack in season to prevent actual losses. Give especial attention to trees in sodde'd orchards. Thoy are very like ly to be attacked by borers, as aro those standing in weedy orchards. Clean cultivation Is about tho best Insurance against tree loss from bor ers and this has been shown tlmo nnd tlmo again in orchards whero a pnrt of tho area had been cultivated and tho rest permitted to grow up in weeds. Tho greater number of affect ed trees were found In the weedy and grow n-up portions. Do not overlook tho fact that all parts of the treo trunk and tho bigger branches aro liable to attack by tho borers. In old orchards particularly, the bigger limbs should be examined for fresh traces of tho borers. Tho Insects are usually found In the soft er white or sap wood, but in badly affected trees they seem to boro deep ly and almost honeycomb tho treo trunk to a depth of several Inches sIth their tunnels. There are no proventlvo measures that aro reliable. Some people paint tho treo bark around the trunk with a mixture of whalo oil sonp solution and crude -cnrbollc acid. To a gallon of a paintlike mixturo of tho soap nn ounce .of the crude carbolic Is add ed. It works pretty well in some nelghhoi hoods and seems to bo a fail ure in others. Wire screons, if put on tight enough to keep tho female of the fly from getting down back of it and of a flio enough mesh that tho Orchard Tho trees on the outer edge, which received cultivation last year, have suffered no dying back, but havo grown long, vigorous branches which nre now bending to tho ground be neath a load of fruit, and the foliage Is of a fine, dark green. If I had turned the sod under tho first year I havo no doubt that my crop of apples would have been abun dant, judging from the cultivated trees, yet the soil has hurt no fertilizer asido from the turned under sod. I believe that two years is long enough for any orchard to be kept In sod. Of course, a clover sod would have given better results. Judging from the appearance ot many orchards over this section of the country, I believe some growers aro putting too much faith in sod; that is, they are leaving the sod upon tho orchards too long, and wherovei this is being dono the trees look nbout as mine did. I havo a row of Baldwin apple trees along a larae.. A wide strip of fine sod has grown under them on tho roadsido for many years, but tho field thoy border Is under continual culti vation. The trees nre healthy and vigorous and bear fruit well", so it seems that partial cultivation docs much to keep the trees in good condition. eggs cannot bo deposited through it will sometimes be of value. The only way to get at the borers le to dig them out of the wood and crush them. Some people use a stiff strong wire nnd when the borer is la cated tho wire is thrust into tho tun nel and tho tunneler is killed In thnl way. But you can't always bo cer tain that you hnve managed to kill tho Insect with the wlro. A bolter plan Is to go Into the orchard with a good sharp, heavy bladed knife and a stout piece of wire Use the knlfo to get into tho burrow and open tho tunnel up until the grul Is uncovered. Whero tho tunnel mado runs abruptly into the wood II may bo necessary to use the wlro By pushing it into tho hole nnd feel ing for tho grub tho borer can usually ho killed, but there should bo some evidence of Us presenco on the end of tho wlro when that is withdrawn. In the fall, when the leaves are just beginning to loosen, the borers are more easily found. Children arc helpful in finding nnd killing then with tho wires. If they nro taught where to look and what to look for. WHY ALLOW LICE ON YOUR LAYING HENS? Factors Which Favor Develop ment of Insects Are Not Dif ficult to Remedy. (Dy J. A.

They have not a piercing mouth, but one that is used for biting. The louse subsists on the production of the skin and fragments of feathers. It Is not so much what the lice get as nourish ment from tho individual that hurtH as tho violent Itching and pain they cause, especially If present in large numbers. They also spread as rapidly as they breed. The lice from one individual may spread through tho entire flock. Factors which favor their develop ment nre, poorly ventilated qunrters, insufficient food and weak stock. Tho bird that looks poor nnd sickly is tho ono most likely to be infested. Treatment.

THE There Is not only nn economy In aging sour milk, thoro Is also a dis tinctly different flavor as well as moro mois ture In the food, nnd it does not dry out so rap Idly. Tho amdunt of soda to bo used with sour milk dopends largely up on Its acidity, and In consequence tho results nro not al ways good. Too much soda spoils tho ippearanco, and not enough will make tho food heavy. See that soda is well dissolved before It is added to any Food. A level tenspoonful of soda to i cupful of fairly sour milk will bo found to bo sufllclont. Cottago cheese Is ono of the dell clous products of sour milk where ono Is fortunnto enough to havo a suffi cient quantity of milk to prepnrn It.
