Although an engine now to warfare, the armored motor car has proved ex tremely useful, especially for outpost and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and mobile, It covers a vast amount of ground on the splendid roads that crisscross tho field of war In western Europe. Most of the cars aro Incased in a light frame of tough steel plato that runges In thickness from three sixteenths of an Inch to a quarter of nn Inch, and that Is Impervious to rlflo and nmchine-gun fire. All tho vulner able parts of the motor, such as tho radiator and steering gear, and In some of tho newest cars tho wheels, aro protected by tho steel covering. The "wheels, both wood and wire, aro said to withstand tho roughest sort of usage., Accidents to the tires are mucn less common than anyone would expect The cars carry a light arma ment oho or two machine guns so mounted that they can bo swung through a complete circle and a largo supply of ammunition. The crew, which may number from four to eight or more men, aro armed with rifles and revolvers. Some of tho cars havo a steel superstructure that rises from the chasls frame high enough to enable tho crew to stand upright, nnd that i3 capped with a domed roof, from which bullets and shrapnel usu ally fly off at a sharp angle without even denting the steel.

It Is about as well to advlso people to stick to coffee until they get hit hard enough so thnt they will never forget their experience. A woman writes and her letter is condensed to give the facts in a short space: "I was a coffee slave and stuck to it like a toper to his 'cups,' notwithstand ing I frequently had severe attacks of sick headache; then I used moro cof fee to relieve tho headache, and this was well enough until tho coffee ef fect wore off. "Finally attacks of rheumatism be gan to appear, and ultimately the whole nervous Bystem began to, break down and I was fast beconflng a wreck. "After a time I was Induced to quit coffee and take up Postum. This was half a year ago. Tho result has been most satisfactory.

GOOD MANAGEMENT fHJt Results of the Work of the Three Worst Orchard Pests: Curcullo, Codling Moth and the Apple Scab. (By J. G. AIOOUE.) Good orchard management, is neces sary to securo profitable returns from fruit trees. Prevnlonco of insectB and dlseaso requiro thnt special attention bo given to tho -trees to produce n good quality of marketablo fruit. It is not necessary to glvo up grain or dairy farming in order to grow good fruit, but if good fruit is to bo produced in conjunction with theso other lines of agriculture, then tho farmer must recognize tho fact that thero nro certain things tho orchard demands which aro quite os Impor tant from the standpoint of fruit pro duction ns feeding the cow or culti vating tho corn is In tho other lines. Four-fifths of tho farm orchards nro operated at a loss so far as tho valuo of tho fruit is concerned. If the or chard is used for farm crops after tho fruiting ago is reached, then tho trees aro a. drawback to the produc tion of theso .crops, not only becauso of tho additional trouble in putting them in, but in tho lessened yield. An orchard should bo an orchard, not a grain or hay field and an orchard combined. In tho latter instance, neither crop has half a chance. Either tho orchard should bo given tho caro and attention which is necessary to make it a paying proposition, or It had better be discarded and tho land used for something elso. Thero is a general awakening along tho line of proper caro of orchards, but in n great many instances, tho grower is not con versant with what constitutes the best orchard management. This requires some study, but It must be admitted tnat It is worth while. The soil of the orchard should re ceive special attention and several methods of handling soils aro now be ing practiced. Pasturing tho orchard la common in many sections and should bo discouraged as. should also tho growing of hay or corn In tho or chard. Tho "clean-culturo-cover-crop" system Is preferred by the best grow ers and consists essentially of keeping the orchard under clean cultivation during the first part of tho season and then sowing a cover crop, which re mains on tho soil during tho winter. By using leguminous crops nnd plow ing them under, fertility may alsq bo added. Tho soil of the young orchard should bo treated differently from PLANT SOME TREES TO IMPROVE FARM They Have Practical Value, Not Only for Wood, but for Shade and as Windbreaks. v We all know that trees are not only an adornment to the farm premises, but they have also practical vnlue not only for their wood, but for their shel ter from tho winds, and shado from the burning sun. ., If they be fruit trees, each locality baa its favorite varieties, and you should know them and plant only such as are adaptable. If it is windbreaks and shade, you should know that tho government experiments have proved that white pine, Norway spruce, Aus trian and Scotch pines and American nrborvlta, havo no superiors. These kinds grow rapidly and aro not lack ing in vigor or adaptability to thin soils, exposed situations and other ad verso conditions. But do not plant evergreens exclusively about the home. Deciduous trees occupy a place In any schemo for farm Improvement, which tho evergreens alone do not and cannot fill. Hard or soft maples, elder, elm, where they aro suitable, should not be overlooked. WOODEN FLOOR USED IN WINTER FEEDING One-Inch i Boards Laid Flat on Cement Are Recommended by a Practical Breeder. An excellent suggestion Is made by a practical swlnj breeder to those having cement floors In their hog pens. Ho ndvlBes a movablo wooden floor for tho winter. Ho makes his own floors of one-inch hoards and lns them flat on tho cement In sections small enough to be removed at any time. In this way ho combines the advan tages of both tho cement and tho wood. Ho' can remove tho board floor, scrub out tho pen and also thor oughly clean and disinfect tho falso floor outside. Ccmont Is tho cheapest material In tho end for tho floor of a hog pen. The floor of the outdoor apartment ehould be a few inches lower than the house floor, so as to insure a good drainage and dry sleeping quarters. OF BEARING ORCHARD that of the bearing orchard and small fruits and some field and garden crops may bo grown between tho rowB until tho young trees nro old onough to bear fruit. Continuous cropping Is tho quickest method of depleting soil fer tility. In tho orchard, rotation is im possible, thereforo tho orchardlst should even bo moro alert concerning tho preservation of soil fertility than tho grain farmer. Tho fertility of tho orchard needs to bo kopt up in order that profltablo yields of fruit may bo secured. Vcgo tablo mntlor should bo added to tho soil to keep It in good tilth nnd plenty of nitrogen fertilizers should bo nddod to glvo strong growth of wood. From eight to ten tons of stablo manure per aero onco In two years will bo suffi cient on nverago soils. In nltornato years commercial fertilizers may bo used. When legumo cover crops aro grown tho amount of nitrogen and manure may bo considerably reduced. Good cultivation is nocessary at tho samo timo as tho land should always bo kept In good tilth. Pruning tho bearing orchard should bo regular and systematic, since trocn that aro neglected when young novcr fully regain porfect form. Tho prun ing should begin when the trco is sot, for tho purpose of forming a low head and fruit-bearing nrcn, to keep the head open and iu a form which will facilitate spraying nnd harvesting. Winter pruning is most desirable since injuries to tho trees are loss likely to occur. During tho second and third seasons tho young trco should bo pruned to form tho head nnd encour age tho growth of strong bearing branches. Neglected trees should bo pruned vigorously but not to tlo ox tent that a heavy top growth Is forced. Spraying is essential to profitable orcharding. Six of tho most serious orchard pests aro codling moth, aphis, scale, curcullo, scab and blight. Undor tho average conditions spraying with bordeaux mixturo for fungous diseases and pads green or arsenato of lead for tho chewing insectB will be effective. Tho limo-sulphur wash is gaining greatly in favor and many growers prefer to use it. Good spray ing machinery should bo used since the success of tho spraying dopends largely upon tho effectiveness with which tho material is applied.- STUDY CONDITIONS IN FRUIT GROWING If an Orchard Is to Be Planted for Commercial Purposes, Make It a Large One. Thore aro locations where it Is moro profltablo to grow general farm crops than to engage in fruit growing, and under such circumstances the size of the orchard may well bo limited to the supply of fruit needed for family use. If, however, fruit is grown for commercial purposes, it is a mlstako to havo a small orchard. Under mod ern methods of care tho expense at tending a small orchard Is much great er In proportion to tho number of trees than for n largo orchard. Of course, the Intelligent man will In vestigate market conditions before sot ting largo orchards, and will know pretty well what may bo expected from his soil, but when these things are well understood and seem favor able, then tho profltablo orchard will be the largo one. Once set, the great est caro must bo given or the largo orchard will bo a greater loss than the small one would havo been. SAVE THE ORCHARD FROM THE RABBITS Galvanized Wire Screening Prevent Trees From Being Girdled by Animals. You don't want tho now orchard girdled by rabbits .this winter, do you? Galvanized wire screening Is the solution suggested by F. S. Merrill of the horticulture department In tho Kansas Stuto Agricultural college. Tho screening needs to be fastened with v,lrcn nnd should extend from the lower branches to flvo or six Inches below tho ground. In this way tho ravages of Hold mice aro avoided. Several experiments at tho collogo have shown that trees protected iu thiB manner are also protected from tho borers. Thero nre other methods of pro tecting tho trees from rabbits, such as using III tasting solutions of soap or parls green, but although they pro vent tho rabbits from killing the treo they do not form a permanent pro tection or prevent the work of tho borers, 22SSSfcS tram 1 1 rriv.'pa HlWJilW.l niiinnniirrit.iriiTmnirrriTTTiiniTniiirininnrirTinTTITnTI ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT AYegctable Preparation for As similating theFoodflndnegukv ling the Stomachs and Bowls of Lhismwm?i Promotes Digcslion,Checrful ncssandRcsi.Conlains neither Opium.Morphinc nor Mineral Not "Narcotic Fcopt tOM DrSAMEinmER impti'n St J' tlxSr-nm MthtlUSHs hvrmint - Horn Srtd ifriifirm 'fitter I I Apcrfccl Remedy forConsllpa lion .
