YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SUFFER From Constipation , Bowel and Stom ach Trouble. Q. What is the beginning of sickness ? A. Constipation. Q. What is Constipation ? A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the waste matter which lies in the ali mentary canal where it decays and poi I'llJ sons the entire system.

The manner in which weeds bring about injury to farm crops is discuss ed in an Oitar o bulletin. Farmers will find sufficient reasons for fighting the weed pest in the following : The amount of water which is taken up by weedand evaporated from the surface cf the leaves is very great. For instance , an average mustard p aut p. nip. from the soil about four teen ouices , or even-tenths of a pint , per day ; a sunflower , thirty-three ounces , and so on. The transpira tion -eerally in pr - . ortiou to the eurf-ro of tie 1af 1 , tut imn leaves trauopiio , or Imow ouaUjr , uit freely than fles.y ones. Consequent ly , weeds having large leaf surface draw rom the = oil and give off througr the leaves a large amount of water and thereby rob the sur rounding plants. Many botanists consider this wate of ( moisture the mos serious injury done by weeds. Weeds naturally make use of the same food as the cultivated plants among which they grow. Consequent ly they deprive a crop of a large amount of the available nourishment , and they rob the succeeeding crop as \vell. For example , an analysis of the Russian thistle by Snyder showed that it contains from twelve to sev enteen per cent , as mucK nitrogen as there is in clover , and an ordin ary thistle cf this kind covering a square yard takes more potash and lime from the soil than two good crops of wheat from the same area. Weeds often grow more vigorously than usual plants , and , as a conse quence , they shade or crowd , or par tially choke , the seedlings of the de sired crop. Black bindweed , for in stance , often covers completely a 'large part of plants among which it grows. At best , it is difficult to clean many of the smaller seeds , such as clover , grass and rape seed , and the difficulty is greatly increased when they are grown on a dirty farm. It is almost impossible to 'dean clover seed by winnowing. Hence the ne- cesssity that the land on Which it grows be clean. Weeds interfere with a regular rotation of crops. A well- balanced rotation of crops conserves the fertility of the soil , but it is often necessary to depart from such a ro tation when noxious weeds get poses- sion of the farm to give undue at tention to the growth of hoed crops , for instance , or almost omit a certain crop altogether for a time , as in the case of the oat crop on a farxa over run withwild oats. Weed.i harbor scores of injurious fungi. Many of the rusts whicli attack grain crops find a resting place on weeds of the grass and other families which pre serve them through the fall , winter and spring. Weekly Witness. WATER FOR THE COWS. Our water supply for the farm ani mals is pumped from a well in the shed attached to the barn , and troughs have been arranged so that this wat er can be sent into tubs which stand in the cow shed. The custom is to fill each tub about half full and then add enough hot water so that the entire quantity is comfortably cool. Cows do not care for warm water , but they do like the chill removed from the very cold water during the winter. Here dswhere our independ ent furnace or range comes into play. It is located near the barn , under a rough roof to keep the storm off , and the water is heated here without in terfering with affairs in the house kitchen. Enough water can bo heat ed in an hour to properly temper the water for horses and cows and leave some pretty hot for the fowls , who delight in water as hot as they can drink , during the winter. Actual fig ures have shown us conclusively that in extra milk we receive enough to more than pay for the labor and time involved in warming the water given to the farm animals. Moreover , we find that with plenty of warm or hot water handy we are inclined to do much more in the way of cleaning various things than we could do if all the water available was cold. Indianapolis News. POTATOES GROWN FROM SMALL , SEED. Considerable argument is rife among writers as to the relative value of s/mall / and medium or large tubers , for use as seed. It is claimed that the small tuber will often ( generally , perhaps)1 produce as large and fine results as the larger tubers used for seed. We believe this claim is open to question at least beyond the first generation , for it is safe to say that degeneration can only be the result from planting the small tubers a num ber of seasons in succession. This seems to be a logical conclusion to reach. On the other hand , it is quite as logical to assume that the fine medium or large tuber , containing as it must all the vigor and fine points of the variety , will produce first-class progeny and , we believe , this is es sentially the case when the seed tu bers are selected fram one's own pro duct and selected at the proper time and properly cared for. If the seed potatoes are selected from the bin , be the selection from small or the large tubers , in the spring just about the time they are wanted for use it must not be eyp c' ° .d tnat give as good results as those which have been properly selected in the tall and properly cared for. There is a decided saving of time , money and fertilizer in the careful selection of the seed potatoes , as any one will dis cover who will take the necessary trouble. Indianapolis News. BALANCED FOOD FOR SWINE. While our hogs get plenty of corn we go to considerable effort to furn ish them variety in the rations and try to g.ve it to them in such a way that it for-rs a balanced ration. We are believers in considerable soft food iui swine and consider a ration cf wheat middlings and gluten tnreal with a small portion of process oil meal a feed that will keep themin good weight and in the finest condition. These grains are mixed thoroughly and then skim milk is used so that tie mass is about like thin porridge. This our hogs get twice daily with corn on the cob for the third meal , and something in the way of root crops or good kitchen slop in which is mixed vegetable and fruit parings for the in-between uneal. This is the food during the summer ( except that the corn is cut out ) as well as during the winter. The range takes the place cf the third meal of slop and vege tables , but with these exceptions we try to feed about the same the year round and find that it pays. Indian apolis News. HOGS IN WINTER. Those who keep hogs should make it a point to see that they are made comfortable during the cold winter * months. When they are in comfort able quarters they can be kept much cheaper. Many a disease wbich the hog is subject to is caused by lying in a cold bed at night. Not only is this cold a detriment to them but there is no doubt but what they suf fer as much , if not more , from the wet. A cold snow or rain chills the body right through , and all this is very expensive to the owner. The man who keeps his hogs in comfort able quarterswill find in the Spring that h's hogs have cost him a great deal less money to carry through the winter and are also in much better condition than the hogs of his neigh bor , who has paid no attention what ever to this matter. Weekly Wit ness. CALVES RAISED WITHOUT MILK. As a substitute for skimmilk In raising calves cocoanut shell tea ap pears to have some imerits. At the Ontario Experiment Station calves were fed in addition to what corn and green feed they wanted six to eight quarts of tea made by boiling ou& fourth pounds of cocoa shells in two gallons of water. They gained 135 pounds in eight weeks , while two oth er calves fed on two gallons of skim- mmilk per day in addition to the oth er feeds gained 34S pounds in the same period. The conclusion was that shells made as good a substitute for skimmilk as could be had but that nothing could entirely take the place of milk for young stock. Mas sachusetts Ploughmaan. Charcoal for Gunpowder. Charcoal-making for gunpowder is a much more complicated process than the ordinary field kiln manufac ture. Only certain kinds of wood are used usually the young shoots or' elder and willow and it is cut in the Spring , so that the bark may be stripped off. It is then piled under airy , open sheds and allowed to re main several years until it is thor oughly dried. When the powder-mak er is ready for a new supply of char coal , the weed is cut into lengths of three feet and placed in tight iron retorts , under and around which a fire roars continually. The dampers and pipes are so arranged that the workmen have complete control of the heat. At the end of the retort a hole is left for the escape of inflammable gases resulting from the charring pro cess. A pipe catches them as they leave the retort and conveys them into the furnace , where they take the place of a good deal of fuel. When the flames of the gas .become a deep blue color the workmen know that the wood is sufficiently charred , and the retort is cooled down as quickly as possible. The charcoal is then letf for a week or more before grinding , because if placed in the machine at once there is danger of spontaneous combustion. The best charcoal is jet black , and fractures show velvety sur faces. Apple Trees 135 Years Old. An apple from a tree at least 135 years old was brought to the Am erican office this week by Josiah H. HigL'ins , of Elliswortb. When his grandfather , Levi Higgins , moved from Eastham , on Cape Cod , to Maine , in 1770 , he brought with him. this apple tree , and set it out on the place at Hull's cove , in what Is now the town of Eden. There Mr. Hig gins. and his father before him , both born on thp place , ate the fruit. He is interested to know ii there is an older tree in the county still bearing apples. Ellsworth American.

" Magazine of Fun. .inbreeding ; Fowt * . H Is only among mongrels that you need to greatly fear inbreeding. For at least three years , with pure breed and by judicious selection of the best fowls on each side , we can bleed our own fowls among ourselves. The rea son so many fear tbe effects of in breeding is from their experience run ning along the lines of rulls. They kill and sell the best always , leaving anything for breeding purposes. No wonder the fowls get smaller nnd scrubbier each year. When you build up a good strain you mu ? t always make choice of your best amons your own , irrespective of relationshin , and one can to some extent follow this out among our general utility flocks. I do not approve of it too far , but for , say , thrc6 years , it is all right if you select your most perfect males anfl females for breeding purposes. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Robbed in Cliurclt.
