A PROMINENT FARMER OF KAN
SAS FINDS A CURE
From the Capital SL John Kansas
Hearing that T II Detwiler a prosper
ous farmer who resides about three miles
east of SL lolm Ivan had been using
Dr Williams Pink Pills with marvelous
beneficial results a reporter of the Kan
sas City Star called upon him for an in
terview regarding the matter We found
Mr Detwiler a tall and apparently well
preserved maai of 70 years He gave the
following and with his consent to its
publication
I had been troubled for several years
with extreme nervousness At first it did
not prevent me from attending to my
farm duties About three years ago how
ever I began to grow rapidly worse then
my nights became sleepless and I could
not sleep two hours in an entire night I
became terribly afflicted too with indiges
tion 1 became alarmed at my condition
and consulted a physician One doctor
told me the trouble was insomnia and I
took his medicine for that but without re
lief Another told me it was nervous
prostration but his medicine had no more
effect than the same amount of water
Finally seeing Dr Williams Pink Pills
advertised and noticing particularly the
testimony of a person who had been cured
by them of a very similar disease to mine
1 determined to try them I called upon
our local druggist Mr J Stivers and
procured a supply I began taking them
nnd in a very short time my nervousness
was less severe After I had given them
i thorough trial I found myself entirely
cured I can now lie down at night and
go to sleep without the slightest trouble
Furthermore the cure has been perma
nent and I can recommend Pink Pills to
all who are afflicted as I was for their
equal connot be found
Dr Williams Pink Tills for Pale Peo
ple are now given to the public as an un-
failing blood builder and nerve restorer
f curing all forms of weakness arising from
l watery condition of the blood or shat
tered nerves The pills are sold by all
dealers or will be sent post paid on re
ceipt of price GO cents a box or six boxes

Keep Milk Cans Clean
In the care of cans they are to be
kept clean and free from rust They
should be washed as soon as possible
after being used Rinse first with cold
water then scrub thoroughly with a
brush both inside and outside using
warm water almost hot or better a
good soapsuds which use often any
how Give particular attention to the
seams and dont forget the outsides
You know the inside is often judged
by the outside Finish with scalding
water Turn your cans upside down
long enough to allow them to drain
then leave them right side up or on
their sides in the fresh air and you
will have clean sweet cans It is a
very common error to leave them over
a stake a board This is a serious
mistake as invariably the cans will
sour thereby The hot air or steam
rises and having no escape conse
quently condenses in the cans and
sours Much milk otherwise well
cared for is often tainted from no other
reason A rusty can should not be
used as it imparts a foreign flavor to
milk Gennantown Telegraph
Protectinr Tomatoes
By exercising a little extra care the
season for ripe tomatoes may be pro
longed for two or three weeks beyond
the usual period As soon as there are
indications of frost cover the tomatoes
in the eveuiug with some kind of can
vass or old blanket Between the rows
COVER FOR TOMATO V1XES
of tomatoes drive sticks about four feet
apart and nail strips of boards on the
top at the height of the tomato vinos
Place the covers over these letting the
edges extend to the ground where they
must be fastened so that the wind will
not blow them off Leave no opening
or the frost will get in I prefer a
heavy cover made of blankets as this
will often protect the vines when light
canvass will fail If the work is care
fully done the tomatoes will stand a
great deal of cold weather New En
gland Homestead
Kerp Wood Under Cover
The wood can be lauded on a slight
elevation near the shed it sometimes
happens it must be wheeled a distance
of fifty yards or more Stretch a wire
say 3 1G inch diameter from the pile
into a window or door of the shed and
haul taut to a beam with a small
tackle Suspend a square basket or
rack made for the purpose with a pul
ley lashed to each end Then with a
small cord Nos 2 and 3 to draw back
and forth attached to each ear of the
basket a man inside with a boy to
load the basket at the pile can do
more than four men with wheelbar
rows and do it easier The loaded
basket is simply thrown up over the
wire in the shed and the wood falls
out The inside man then piles the
wood while the boy returns and fills
the basket I take my own wood
through a second story window in this
way and find it to be a great saving
of labor over the old method Port

For Haulimr Stones
On some farms the only time for
hauling stones is when the ground is
dry and firm after harvest A rigging
may be made to aid in unloading by
A QUICK DUMPING DEVICE
lenghtening out the wagon so that a
platform can be built upon two strong
poles as shown in the illustration The
poles serve as bed pieces to which the
platform should be hinged on one side
and hooked on the other When ready
to unload the stones unhook and dump
Blanch ins Celery
The old method of plantiug celery
In trenches and blanching the stalks by
piling soil around them is not much
practised now Various expedients
have been devised to blanch celery
cheaply Much the best is to have the
celery planted as nearly as possible on
a level surface When the stalks are
large enough place wide boards
against the celery holding them from
falling by piling soil against the out
side of the board protection This will
blanch the stalks and leaves without
causing rust as soil is sure to do in a
rainy season
Milkinjr in Fly Time
It is very unpleasant milking a rest
less cow when torments by flies If
she uses her natural means of defense
hex tall It may quiet the cow at the ex-
pense of the milker The best contriv
ance we ever saw to rid cows of flies
at milking time was some boughs of
trees tiea above the cow and coming
down just far enough to cover her back
and a short distance down her sides
These leaves gently brush against the
animal and protect her better than she
could do it herself Cows used to this
will seek such refuge during the hor
summer days Exchange
Incubatinxr Chickens
I wonder if neighbor K is baking
eggs this year as he did last said
one man to another as they met on
the public highway one afternoon I
suppose you know about his incubator
experience He invented in one that
held about six hundred eggs filled the
trays with what he confidently hoped
would prove to be broilers and roasters
of the most delicious description After
watching the thermometer with the ut
most care for five or six days he got
a little tired of it as he seems to tire
of everything and consoling himself
with the reflection that the incubator
would probably get along all right he
went out driving and stayed away for
several hours When he returned the
heat had run up to a cooking point
and most of the poor little possibilities
were beautifully cooked and done And
the most astonishing part of the en
tire performance was that he treated
the accident more like a huge joke than
anything else Three times last spring
he filled that incubator and each time
the heat ran up until almost all of the
eggs were spoiled Out of eighteen
hundred eggs there were less than one
hundred chickens that grew to broiler
age It is just such management as
this that gives so many small industries
a bad reputation To succeed requires
vigilance and care New York Led

Harvesting Machines
While plows and other agricultural
implements of American manufacture
to a considerable amount in dollars
are exported to many foreign coun
tries the value of the American har
vesting machinery exported is greater
than that of any of them American
harvesting machines mowers reaners
and binders and so on are used all
over the world and in many countries
extensively American machines like
other American products are copied by
foreign manufacturers but the for
eigners are of course a year behind
The American machine placed on the
market contemporaneously with the
foreign copy is likely to contain im
provements over the machine copied
from one of a year before and it is
sure to have some touch of superiority
in detail or workmanship American
harvesting machines are the best in the
world the lightest the strongest and
the best adapted to their uses New

The Cabbage Louse
In a bulletin devoted to injurious
plant lice issued from the Maryland
station attention is attracted to the old
time enemy the
cabbage louse
This pest appears
early in the sea
son even attack
ing young cab
bage grown for cabbage louse
transplanting It also attacks turnip3
and radishes to a greater or less ex
tent The winged viviparous female
is a greenish gray in color and is a sub
ject for illustration Flight usually
takes place during very warm weather
and it is not an uncommon sight with
us to see the air filled with them in Au
gust The complete life history of this
pest is still unknown The same rem
edies suggested for the melon plant
louse can be used for this insect They
congregate on the underside of the
leaves in great numbers where they
can be reached to best advantage by a
spray directed with the bent brass ex
tension
Propagation
To propagte from puny plants is as
fatal to success as to breed animals
from scrub stock A plant never re
fuses to bear fruit without a cause
and that cause is often barrenness that
no system of cultivation will remove
Ponltry Notes
Always keep the floors of the houses
and coops well covered with sand or
ashes
Always keep a sharp lookout for ver
min and eradicate them as quickly -3
possible
Always rake the droppings off every
morning Cleanliness is a great pre
ventive of sickness
Always keep some Epsom salts and
sweet oil by you as you may want
them at any moment
Always give just enough food at one
time that it will be all eaten up none
should be left lying around
Always give as great variety of food
as possible constant change of diet Is
the way to get the chickens on
Always do little odd jos that want
doing at once Frocrastination is the
thief of time and often a nail here
or a tack there will ge an hours
work
Always carefully look over your
flock ouce a ray and if you see any
birds inopey or drooping their wings
remove them then and there one ill
bird may affect all the rest
Always keep a strict account of all
you buy or sell By treating your hob
by in a thoroughly business way you
will derive greater pleasure by seeing
exactly how much profit you have

MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
The House Still Standing Where the
Famous Sony Was Written
The house is still standing near
Bardstown Kj where Stephen Col
lins Foster wrote the world famous
song My Old Kentucky Home It is
known as Federal Hill the residence
place of the Rowan family for almost
a century
In the late 50s only five or six years
before his death Foster then living in
Pennsylvania was invited by the Kow
ans to pay an extended visit to Federal
Hill On this visit his sister Eliza ac
companied him and the stay in old
Kentucky as Foster often said was
one of the most pleasant periods of his
life Surrounded by all that was beau
tiful it was easy for the man who had
given expression to so many soul-stirring
Southern melodies Old Folks at
nome Massas in the Cold Ground
eteto compose the tribute to the man
sion of the Blue Grass that will en i5 ure
as long as Kentucky can produce a sin
gle voice capable of humming its sweet
notes It is doubtless probable that
Foster composed the three verses of
My Old Kentucky Home in quite as
many days and gave a fitting musical
expression to the woils employed as
rapidly as his pencil dropped the lines
He was inspired alike by the beautiful
sunshine of the mornings and the yel
low moonlight of the nights that fell
upon Federal Hill by the waving gold
en grain the hush of the corn the ne
groes performing their duties the lazy
little darkies in the cabins and finally
by the warblings of the mocking bird
the thrushs mellow song and the life
like notes of the Kentucky cardinal
made world renowned by Tames Lane
Allen and the wrting of the undying
verses must have been a labor of love
My Old Kentucky Home is charac
terized by melancholy Foster seems
to have had a presentiment that the
days of slavery were numbered and

Itfy Old Kentucky Home
although a Northerner by birth regret
ted in his song the coming of the day
when the darkies would sing no more
by the glimmer of the moon on the
bench by the old cabin door The song
complete is as follows
The sun shines bright on my old Ken
tucky home
Tis summer the darkies are all gay
The corn tops ripe and the meadows in
the bloom
While the birds are making music all
the day
The young folks roll on the little cabin
floor
All merry all happy all bright
Bym by hard times comes a knozking at
the door
Then my old Kentucky home good
night
Chorus
Weep no more my lady oh weep io more
to day
Well sing you one song for the old Ken
tucky home
For cur old Kentucky home far away
They hunt no more for the possum and
the coon
On the meadow the hill and the shore
They sing no more by the glimmer of the
moon
On the bench by the old cabin door
The day goes by like a shadow oer the
heart
With sorrow where all was delight
The time has come when the darkies have
to part
Then my old Kentucky home good
night
The head must bow and the back will
have to bend
Wherever the darkies may go
A few more days and the trouble all will
end
In the field where the sugar canes grow
A few days more to tote the weary load
No matter it will never be light
A few more days till we totter on the
road
Then my old Kentucky home good
night
