The last-minute plan of buying a
farm machine is a lax one. It gives op
portunity for the loss of time and
money , for n bad temper to generate ,
the postponement of chore hours into
the night , and the Inducing of a bad
digestion.
To remove cockleburs quickly and

recipe Is efficient : Dip the tall In a

The RTernge farm garden might well
be larger. It ought to be ample enough
so that almost all of it could be culti

a hoe in two days and do it better.
The hoe has Its place , but the place is

The growth of abbate plant * for
late setting has been a very uncertain
venture ip parts of New York State
for several years. Maggot-flies and
flea-beetles have becpm * so plentiful in
cabbage sections that only small frac

worth letting ; so that many growfers
ave had to Import large numbers of

P.ulleiln No. " 01. A suail : bed was
covered with chcesccloili screen ing and
tlie plants completely protected from
maggots. From 1SOO square feet of
bed 50CCO sets were taken , while from
a check plat Intended to set forty
acres only plants enough for a little
over four acres were secured. By tak
ing off the cover for a week before
setting , the plants were "hardened" so
that there was no more wilting than
with plants grown in the open air. The
screening method is very inexpensive ,
and is apparently more promising than
any spraying or soaking of the soil
with insecticides.
"Dry Parsjlnar * ' Ilttdafm.s Desert.
Dry furmiug will eventually m.'iki
the so-called arid region of the west
ern highlands blossom like a rose. In
half a dozen Wyoming counties it la
being adopted with complete success.
The State Is encouraging it. and ha *
provided a department of dry farm
ing , with Dr. C. V. Cook at its head.
"With proper irrigation and irrita
tion , " says Commissioner Cook , "the
desert of the West will in time disap
pear. The possibilities of redemption
In this arid territory are being demon
strated more and more every year.
Land that was valueless ton years ago
now produces bountiful crop ? . " '
Dry farming is the irritation part
of it. It is simply the science of using
to its utmost the meager rainfall of
this axid region. The secret lies in
storing up every bit of moisture pos
sible. It merely consists of keeping
the surface of the ground covered with
a dust mulch or blanket , which retain ;
the moisture.
You huvo noticed that after a rain
the earth forms a crust You would
think this crust would prevent the
moisture from escaping , but it does
not It is full of little holes through
which the sun and air , especially In
high altitudes , draws the moisture.
Here is where dry farming comes
in. This moisture-releasing crust is
pulverized into a dust blanket by fre
quent harrowing or discing. The soft
earth Is made floury and close lying ,
and neither the sun nor the air action
can draw the moisture through ft.
No expensive equipment is required.
A 14-inch gang plow for four horses ,
so that the plowing may be deep , the
deeper the better , Is used mostly. A
boy with four good horses and a three-
section disc harrow can cover thirty to
thirty-five acres of plowed ground a
day. This harrowing must be dona
several times until the ground is thor *
'oughly pulverized upon the surface. .
Plowed ground must be harrowed after
each rainfall. Cheyenne , Wyo. , Cor.
Polmonlngf Gophers Is Beat.
Strychnine Is the most effectively
known poison for killing the pocket
gopher , and this method is recommend
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture for general use. Strych
nia sulphate la tha most convenient
form of the poison , since it is freely
soluble in cot water and In the natural
Juices used for bait. To disguise its
bitterness so that th * gophers may not
be deterred ftpm eating tha bait sugar
is often used , ' A sugar eyrup IK pre
pared as follows : Dissolve an ounce of
strychnia sulphate In 6 pint of boill a
water. Add a pint of thick sura *
eyrup scented by adding a few drops
of oil of anlst , but this is not essen
tial. If preserved In a closed vessel
the Byrup will keep Indefinitely.
The above quantity Is sufficient to
poison a half bushel of shelled corn or
other grain , but corn if recoosniended.
The grain Is steeped in hot water and
allowed to cook over nltfht It Is then
drained and soaked for several hours
in the poisoned tyrup. Before uainj
cormneal may be Added to taka up th
excess of molatnrm.
The prepared batt In introduced Into

wlth a itnz-hon&ed spoon. A spade
handle sharpened , irlth , * metal poijit ,
makes a good dibble for making hofes
Into the runwajB. Having located tbo
runway with the dibble , more it from
side to Bide to firm tb soil about ihc
hole and then withdraw. This will
leave a hole for the bolt to be drooood
into. Some prefer to corer th-e holes ,
but it is better not to do so.
Bait should be placed in the main
runways and not in the abort laterals
near the mounds. A skillful operator
can go over twenty to forty acres of
badly infested land In a day , and If the
work is carefully dona at a time whan
ths gophers are active all animals
should be destroyed by the first appli
cation.
Under favoraba * conditions the ucc
of carbom bisulphide can be made suc
cessfully , but extreme care must be
exercised in handling the stuff , n 4t hj
very inflammable and must be kept
away from all fire : It forms a , tweavy
gas that goes into the burrows anff
kills the anlmala. An ounce of carbon
bisulphide for each burrow is sufficient
but even at that it is rather an ex *
pensive method. The chemical Is nonr-
ed over a bnnch of rags or cotton wajita
and this pushed Into the burrow , which
should be quickly closed.
Traps are also used by some with
good results. The ordinary sreel trapa ,
as well as special gopher traps , are
used. However , the poisoning with
strychnine is undoubtedly the best and
cheapest method of ridding one's farm
of the pests.

Each tablet Is a v/orking dose of Cas-

Because It ta not a ' 'Bile-driver , " lika

Neither Is It like Castor Oil , Glycerins ,
or other Oily Laxatives that simpiy lubricate
the Intestines for transit of the food stopped
up In them a that particular time.

The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is a. v/eakneaa of the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Grid Bath
are to the Athletic Mttscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles t
contract , expand , and squeeze the Dlges *
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver In
ouch a way as to make them ieaa upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why , with Cascarets , tha dos
may b * lessened each succeeding time
Instead of increased , as it must bo with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.

Casoarets act like exercise.
