Doctor Metzger, celebcated h s seventieth birthday. He had been ret. -ed from active practice for some years, owing to tb- fact that he had bt-con.e immensely wealthy through the use of the wonderful thumb of his rvi t hand This thumb stands out at a right angle from his hand and, it is saic. cannot be bent back automatic i-..> He soon found it of great serv ' *• :n massage, and w hen he became a »p»-:ia!ist in Intestinal disorders he was called as assistant to the greatest of Europe, bringing relief to marry illustrious patients. The queen of Roumania sent for this doctor with the curious thumb when -:.e s .’Tered from facial neuralgia, while the late king of Sweden once dri ve a beautiful tpan of horses over the border of his cingdom to consult the doctor and on returning left the i horses as a token of gratitude to his preserver. There was a time, early in his ca reer. when the use of this curious thumb was looked upon as a form of i charlatanism, but so well did Doctor Metzer establish iis reputation that the medical profession accepted his thumb for what it was worth, without trying to explain tae phenomenon. Luck. Have any luc* on your fishing trip?’ ' Yep. Not a single native insisted •Ltt 1 should have been there a week before." Discretion.

And a man is also the architect of most of his own misfortunes The Meat For Summer isn't beef, pork or mutton, but the true life giving meat of wheat. Warm weather calls for lighter diet, and a true grain food best answers every purpose of comfort and activity, not only for the business man but for everybody. Try Grape-Nuts with cream or good milk for breakfast ten days, then take note. Such a breakfast puts one in fine fettle and ‘There’s a Reason” Grape-Nuts is a wheat and barley pure food un hke other cereals in that it affords, the valuable phosphates of the grains necessary for the daily re b-aiding of brain, nerve and muscle tissue:. Economy, too. plays a part; and Grape-Nuts is convenient—ready to eat direct from the package.

Those who have a flock of sheep* or who purchase lambs for fall fatten ing. can pasture them to advantage In late summer and all through the fall in cornfields. If the corn is not infest ed with summer grasses and weeds it will be necessary to plant ccwpeas. rye or some other catch crop between the rows of com. Where the cornfield is large and the flock of sheep or lambs small there will be no need of planting any special crop between rows, as there will be enough feed for the animals in chance weeds and herbage among the corn and along the fences. Last summer we had a cornfield in which were a few weeds of several kinds and considerable crabgrass and foxtail, says a Missouri writer in rarm Progress. A small flock of sheep and lambs was turned into this fieid in August and we found that neither the Iambs nor the sheep ate any of the core blades worth considering, and they did not bother the ears of corn in the least. But they eagerly ate the weeds and summer grasses, cleaning the soil of undesirable grow th between the rows of corn ar.d mowing the fence rows till they looked lik<* a clean lawn. Where corn is not to he cut for fod der or silage, but husked in the field, it can be pastured heavily with sheep and lambs in late summer and through the fall. Of course, where there are no weeds or grass for the animals to eat, they will eat the lower blades of corn, stripping the rtalks up as far as they can reach. Old sheep will sometimes disturb and destroy tha ears after they have cleaned the field of weeds and grass, but net till then. Lambs cannot reach the ears on corn of standard height. Cov.peas planted in corn at the last cultivation make an excellent feed for fattening sheep and lambs, the peas being a legume and furnishing protein fer flesh building. This method al pasturing sheep not only furnishes clean, healthful, shady pasture fer the animals, tut it cleans the field af mane plant pests and fertilizes the soil evenly. FURNISH HOGS SOME SHADE IN SUMMER Farmer Who Is Not Supplied With Trees Has Quite Difficult Problem to Solve. The hog needs a shade in the hot summertime. Without it he will he reduced in flesh very rapidly. Heat is b great flesh reducer, and the blister ing rays of the sun will trim down the hogs very rapidly. The man who is fattening his hogs is very liable to lose seme of them if they must be exposed to the burning rays ef the midday sun during the hot season. The farmer who lives in a timbered country will have na trouble in pro viding shade for his hogs. On one farm there was a 40-acre tract of wooded ; land. Here the hogs were kept in the summer. They had the shade to pro tect them from the sun, and a ced ing spring came from under a ledge of rock and flowed down the branch, so they had sufficient pure water in . which to wallow. It is the man on the prairie who is troubled with the shade question. An ideal shade for hogs is provided by a man who had no tree cn his place except a few in his yard. He had constructed a long shed out of cheap lumber, opening to the north. His fine Poland-China hogs were stretched cut i in a long line beneath the shelter of the shed, enjoying protection from the hot rays of the midday sun. A man had better construct a shed and cover it with straw than to let his hogs suffer. STUDY EACH COW IN EVERY DAIRY HERD Greatest Good Not Always De rived in Eliminating the Un profitable Animals. It is a fact, and there is evidence | of it. that it is a good plan to weigh ; and test the milk of each individual ! cow: but it is a far better plan to take | each cow in the herd and make a care i ful study of her and investigate to see if she has reached the limit of her pro duction. By weighing and testing the milk some rather surprising results have been found in many of our dairy cows. The greatest good that has been derived is not alone in eliminating the unprofitable cow, but rather in awak ening to the importance of studying the individuals in each herd. When you find a cow that is not yielding a desired profit, see if she is not capable of better things before condemning her. Watch the scales and reward her with each increase of milk, and you will oftentimes find that her limit will i be far above what you had at first thought Be fair to the cow and give her a chance. Loss Among Turkeys. The fatality among young turkeys in nine cases out of ten is caused by want of due care during the earliest stagest of existence. Low or wet grounds, in fact any dampness, in duces rheumatism of the joints, etc. Cull Out Poor Stock. No dairyman should be satisfied with cows that produce much less than 300 pounds of butter fat per year. Vse the Babcock test and dispose of the poor stock. Profitable Sheep. For the man who has rough or poor land with short pastures, sheep are much more profitable than cattle. From Shell to Market. Ten weeks from shell to the market is the time allotted a chick UNPROFITABLE LAND j LIKE BOARDER COWS Low Yielding Acres Are Often Fatal to Successful Fa-m ing—Drainage Favored. The United States department ot i agriculture sends out a bulletin from j which this article is taken: We hear many uncomplimentary ' things about the unprofitable dairy cow—the boarder cow that is sapport ' ed from the profits of the remainder of I the herd. On many farms the un profitable dairy cow is not by any means the only boarder. Lew yielding acres, like boarder cows, are often fatal to successful farming. Our farm survey records shew- that area of poorly drained, compact, sour soils, or 6oils low- in humus greatly reduce net profits and are a frequent cause of minus labor income. Some times these records show that as much as 30 per cent of the entire farm acreage dr.es not produce enough to pay its way. One farm on w hich we recently took records has 40 acres of pocrly drained ! land that in its present condition is j practically worthless. Twenty-five dol I lars per acre spent in drainage will j make this 40-acre tract the equal cf ; any in that district, and good land is selling there at J15C per acre. The successful business man tries to weed out all unprofitable enter prises and to expand those that pay a profit. Unprofitable acres cannot al I ways be disposed cf as rapidly as ' boarder cows, tut usually they can be improved until they become profit ! bearing. If the income from such land ’ cannot be increased, it is quite possi ble that the labor spent upon it can be reduced until the income at least pays the cost of labor. MAKING PROFIT BY GIVING HOGS WHEAT Interesting and Instructive Re sults in Swine Feeding Ob tained in Kentucky. The Kentucky experiment station ot tained 98 cents tc $1.16 a bushel foi | wheat by feeding it tc hogs last year I when hogs were selling at $7 a hum ! dredweight. If begs had sold far $S a hundredweight the return would have been $1.25 tc $1.33 a bushel. Manifestly it will not be profitable to feed wheat to hogs as long as it is selling at present prices but when it dreps to the figures Daid last year at harvest it will be more profitable to feed it than to sell it provided the prices paid for hogs are satisfactory It ordinarily is estimated that ; ground w heat has about the same feed ing value as ground corn. The price of corn, therefore, is a factor which should be considered when deciding whether to feed or sell the wheat. The i Kentucky experiment snow also that ground wheat returned 7 to 10 cents more a bushel than soaked wheat, i The results of the experiment are de j scribed in detail in Bulletin No. 190 I which can be obtained ty writing to j the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment | station, Lexington, Ky. Separate Ailing Hogs. Hogs afflicted with swine plague should be immediately separated from the rest of the herd, kept in an iso lated pen and fed absolutely nothing for two or three days. No danger of their being starved. Teach Boys Gentleness. Boys often chase the cows, not re alizing the great danger and even cruelty they cause. They should be taught gentleness toward all animals, and particularly toward horses and cattle. \Ket Cocteata 15 fluid Drachma - i |f SMBs j$*J ALCOHOL- 3 PER CENT. {*2j.
