I went all down in health due to my having woman's weak ness. I was nervous, suffered con tinually with backaches, pains in my side and bearing pains, and could not eat nor sleep. When 'Favorite Prescription' was recommended to me I began to tako it, and it proved to be all that it is recommended to be for it completely cured me of all any woman's trouble and built ma up in health and strength. It is the most wonderful medicine for women I have known." Mrs. E. Shanks, 1219 Fifth Avenue. Good looks in woman do not depend upon age, but upon health.

Mrs. Scrub Dnlry Cow Is about to break Into the upper class of dairy so ciety. Madam Scrub will parade with the blue-blooded aristocracy of tho cattle world. The United States department of ag riculture expects to exhibit tho grade family consisting of a purebred sire, a scrub cow and the grade offspring of this mating at the national dairy show to bo hold at Chicago In October, 1020. Some of the cattle clubs will also havo similar exhibits. The purpose of this feature Is to In terest the owners of scrub and low grade herds and to show In a practical wny the manner In which such a herd may be Improved by tho use of a pure bred sire. This will do much to com bat tho prevailing Idea that the nil- A Scrub Cow Which LacRed $1,954 of Producing Enough Milk to Pay for Her Feed and Care In One Year. tlonal dairy show Is of Interest only to the owners of purebred herds. It will help also to advertise the fact that the United States department of agri culture through Its "better sires" cam paign Is offering co-operation and aid to the owner of poorest herd as well as to the owner of Improved stock. After all Mrs. Scrub doesn't get Into society on the strength of her own qualifications; she Is accepted purely on account of the merits of her mate nnd her progeny. CHAMPION DAIRY COWS Several of our folks have asked for the names and rec ords of leading cows of each dairy breed at the present time. Here they are, fresh from the secretaries of the breeders' as sociations: Jersey Plain Mary, 1,040 pounds butterfat und 15,255 pounds milk. Holsteln-Frlcslan Angle Acme, 1,005.4 pounds butterfat and 24,600 pounds milk. Guernsey Murne Cowan, 1, 09S.18 pounds butterfat and 24, 008 pounds milk. Brown Swiss College Bra vura II, 798.10 pounds butterfat and 19,400 pounds milk. Ayrshire Garcnugh May Mis chief, 894.91 pounds butterfut and 25.329 pounds milk. Mllklng-Shorthorn Doris Clay, 053 pounds butterfat and 17.241.5 pounds milk. These nro all yearly rdcords, ond for cows living at the pres ent time. CLASSIFICATION OF RECORDS Department of Agriculture Bulletin Emphasizes Importance of Cor rect Accounts. "A Classification of Ledger Accounts for Creameries" Is the title of United States department of ngrlculture Bul letin 805, recently issued. This bul letin emphasizes the Importance of the use of a definite and logical classifica tion of accounts for keeping the cost and financial records of any business and describes in detail a classification that can be used advantageously by creameries. The classification of ac counts presented In this bulletin, If adopted will Insure an adequate basis for correct operating and financial In formation which will be uniform from year to year, thus enabling compari sons of operating efllclency. The bulletin bus been prepared by experts In accountancy In the bureau of markets after a careful study of the methods pursued at a number of crenmerles In recording their costs and the financial activities of their business comprehensively and simply. The bulletin can bo had upon appli cation to the United States depart ment of agriculture, Wnshlngton. GET SILO PROPERLY FILLED One of Most Serious Jobs of Dairy Farm and Requires Careful Study and Work. To get the silos properly filled Is one of tho serious Jobs of the dairy farm. Careful planning will facilitate the work. The silo should be put In order, the hoops tightened and the doors repaired. The roof should he patched if It has become leaky. The binder must be put In order If delays are to be avoided. Likewise the cutter must bo put In first-class working condition. The wagons are not to be overlooked when preparations for an efficient sea son's work are being made. No silo filling season passes without accident to one or more wagons. For a wagon to be taken off the work for a day or more means a handicap. CORN IS EASILY PUT INTO SILOS Almost Any Green Crop Can Suc cessfully Be Made Into Pal atable Silage. MOST NUTRIENTS PRESERVED Can Be Put Into Silo at an Expense Not Above That of Shocking, Husk-' Ing, Grinding and Shredding Less Waste In Feeding. Almost any green crop can bo mndo into sllago successfully. Much enre, however, must bo taken to expel the nlr from such hollow-stcmtnod plants as the small cerenl grains by cutting fine nnd packing firmly. Other crops, of which legumes are examples, aro de ficient In tho fermentable constituents needed for pnlutnblo sllogo. On tho other hand, n few crops, such ns tho snccharlno sorghums, have so much sugar that unless cut at n more ma ture stage they havo n tendency to produce sour silage. Food Material' From Corn. In most parts of the United Stntes more food material can be obtained from an acre of corn ns silage than from an acre of any other crop that can be grown. Corn Is more easily harvested and put Into the silo than crops like- rye. clover, cowpeas. or til fnlfa, and' when cut for silage tho max imum quantity of nutrients Is pre served. Experiments have shown that corn, when siloed, lost 15.0 per cent of the dry matter, against 23.8 per cent when cut for fodder nnd cured In tho field. Moreover, there Is less waste In feeding silage than In feeding fodder, since good silage properly fed Is all consumed. Land Ready. When corn Is cut for silage tho lond Is cleared nnd left ready for another crop sooner than when the corn Is shocked or Is husked from the stoijd- Cuttlng and Blowing Corn Into Silo. Ing stalk. Corn can bp put Into the silo at a cost not above that of shock ing, husking, grinding and shredding.

SYSTEMS OF FARM ACCOUNTS Ready-Made Schemes Seldom Bring Out Essential Facts That Farm er Ought to Know. Farmers, ns a rule, are hlgl)ly Indi vidualistic In their methods, nnd fnrm business conditions vary widely. Ac cordingly, ready-made systems of farm accounts seldom bring out all tlio facts that the farmer ought to know. Sys tems must be developed to fit ench man's requirements, nnd efforts' to shape one's needs according to a pre pared system not based primarily on these needs will almost Inevitably re sult In failure. AVOID BLACKLEG INFECTION Bodies of Animals Dying of That Disease. Should Be Burned or Burled Quite Deeply. Carcasses of animals dying of blackleg should either bo burned or buried deeply. The bodies of such animals constitute the main source of blackleg Infection, and It Is a danger ous practice to allow a carcass to de cay where it fulls or merely haul It to some out of tho way place. Like wise, skinning or opening a carcass Increases the dunger of Infection. MAKING PORK WITH ALFALFA Without Crop of Legume Producer Is Handicapped Hogs Do Not Rel Ish Bulky Feeds. The pork producer without alfalfa Is handicapped from the stnrt. Hogs are not designed by nnturo to consume large quantities of bulky feeds ns are cattlo and sheep, but there seems to bo an exception In tho case of alfalfa. RELATIVE HARDINESS "It is a mistaken Idea that scrubs aro more hardy If only those are kept which are of good constitutional vigor." United States Department of Agriculture. WHITE SWEET CLOVER CROP IS PREFERABLE Breeding Is Much Easier Than With Red Variety. Interesting Facts Brought Out by Re. cent Experiments Conducted by Department of Agriculture and Iowa State College. lied clover, recent Investigations hnve shown, Is practically self-sterllo; that Is, under the Influence of Its own pollen n very small number of seeds on n given plant will set. In tills re spect It differs from white sweat clo ver, which tests havo demonstrated will set nearly ns mnny seeds under the Influence of Its own pollen ns It will with tho pollen pf nnother plnnt. This makes the breeding of white- Cutting Clover for Seed With Grain Binder. sweet clover n much moro protnlslng undertaking than the breeding of red clover. These fncts have been brought out by recent experiments conducted by tlie United States department of ngrlculture In co-operation with Iowa State college. Tho federal depart ment's Investigators plan to follow up these discoveries with tho selection nnd breeding of white sweet clover for Increuscd forage Tind seed produc tion. It was nlso found that sweet clovet needs n great deal of moisture to ma ture the seed properly. This Is one of the rensons why the second crop of sweet clover sometimes has a better seed yield than the llrst. There being a smaller amount of growth on tJto second crop, the plants do not draw on tho water supply so strongly nnd there Is more water left for tho matur ing of tho seed. DRIED CORN FOR WINTER USE Sweet Corn Cheap and Easy to Pre pare for the Family During Cold Weather Store In Dry Place. Dried corn Is 'as old as the early American Indians. Sweet corn Is one of the easiest of tho vegetables to dry for winter use. If there is enough on tho market, the corn can be bought very cheaply, or If you havo u sur plus In your gnrden, It will bo well worth your while to dry thut surplus. As soon us the com Is pulled, husk tho ears and boll for five minutes to set tho milk. Cut the corn off of tho cob, and plnce on the dryer In tho sun nnd nlr for a day or until the corn has been dried. Placo trays In tho oven and finish drying. Store In a dry, cool place until It Is desired dur ing tho winter. GOOD SIRES NEEDED i "Breeds of livestock cannot 1 bo Improved without tho con stant use of good sires. A good slro so Impresses his character istics upon his offspring that they nro moro like him than like tho common herd." Missouri Stnto Board of Agriculture. BLUE GRASS IS DETRIMENTAL Iowa State College Favors Disk to Get Rid of Noxious Plant Alfalfa Left Unhurt. Nothing Is more detrimental to tho growth of alfalfa thnn blue grass, ond perhaps nothing Is harder to got rid of. Some use tho sprlngtooth harrow, but It does not do satisfactory work. The Iowa State college says tho disk does much belter work, as It will tear out tho blue grassland leavo most of the alfalfa unhurt. Naturally, tho disk will spilt some of tho crowns of tho .alfalfa', but this Is far better than los ing the whole Held. The disking should be done right after tho first or second cutting. SERIOUS LOSS BY CUTWORMS Corn and Other Cereal Crops Suffer Greatly Every Year, Fall Plow ing Is Beneficial. Cutworms cnuso serious losses to corn and other cereal crops overy year In tho United States. These worms are the young of brown or gray moths, or "millers," which lay their eggs on grasses and grains, The young cut worms live In the soil during tho win ter nnd attack the grain soon after It sprouts In tho spring. Fall plowing Is a beneficial measure for control, where practicably POULTRY CACKLES SHIP EGGS BY PARCEL POST Cost Depends Greatly on Container Used, Size of Eggs and Packing and Wrapping. Average hens' eggs will weigh about 14 pounds to tho dozen, or two ounces apiece. The weight of a single dozen of eggs In n carton properly packed nnd wrapped for mailing will run from two to three pounds, depending on the nature of the particular container, the size of the eggs, nnd the packing nnd wrapping used. If the container bo a very light one and the eggs small, the parcel may fall within tho two-pound limit, nnd tho postage therefore. i il IlilM ' ' lis II IW'lB Ml 111 1 1 1 I SH I 111 ll l W 'I Moer-Uoaru Box Filled With Corrugat ed Pasteboard Lining and Fillers of Same Material Each Egg Has a Separate Wrap. within the first nnd second zones, or 150-nille limit, would he six cents. Most purcels containing a dozen eggs will exceed two p.unds but will not reach three; therefore the postage on them will bo seven cents within the first nnd second zones. A parcel con taining two dozen eggs will add per haps two cents to the postage, though sometimes only one cent, depending on the nntnre of the container und the packing and wrapping, It should he observed thnt the larg er the parcel (within the size and weight limits) the chenper Is the postage, as the first pound of overy packngo costs five cents within the first nnd second zones, while ench ad ditional pound up to 50, costs but ono cent; so that while n one-pound pnrcel would cost IIto cents postage, a two pound pnrcel would cost only six cenls. or three cents a pound. A 20-pound parcel would cost 21 cents or One and one-fifth cents per pound and a 50 pound pnrcel would cost 51 cents, or but one nnd two-fifteenths cents pe pound. FATTEN TURKEYS GRADUALLY Select Desirable Fowls Beforehand and Feed Them Corn Save Best for Breeding. Turkeys will not fntten well In con finement. Select tho Thanksgiving offerings beforehand, and begin to fat fen them grndunlly by feeding more corn. Too much new cofn Is ond for turkeys unless It Is boiled. Boiled corn Is n good fottoner, ami will not cause dlnrrhea, as will an overfeed of the new corn. Trent the turkeys for lice, looking especially between tho quill fen thers." Olve them plenty of grit and water. If they have not' been In the habit of coming home early to feed, drlvojthcm In. They should nlso be driven out In the morning If thoy are disposed to hang about the chicken house. The exercise which foraging gives them Is the best health Insur ance. , Do not try to fatten the breeding stock. We want big, rangy birds with out too much flesh In tho breeding pen. Try to separate the breeders before fat tening tho sales birds. The heavier birds will be the mqst prolltnhle for the Thanksgiving mnrkot, but do not sacrifice breeders If turkeys tire to bo raised next spring. Save tho breeding flock from the most vigorous, best birds grown. Chooso size nnd not weight. KEEP EGG-PRODUCING FOWLS Hens With Yellow Shanks, Smooth Plumage and Nice Looking Are Not Good Layers. When feeding the flock, notice tho shnnks, beaks and plumngo of your birds, If they have yellow shanks and bonk, nice smooth white plumngo nnd nro In general good looking birds, It Is safe to guess that they have not Inld u great many eggs the Inst season nnd nre not laying many, If any, now. Sell such hens and keep the ones thnt havo pnle shanks nnd benk and worn plumage, for it hen thnt hns worked liard producing eggs during the past season will show the effect of hard work Just tho same as a person will show the effects of a hard day's work In tho field.
