PHILOSOPHY TO THE RESCUE
Pat Went Without His Steak , but at
. That Everything Was Not
> Lost.
Charles Nagel , secretary of com
merce and labor , says the Irish race
3ias , in addition to its sentiment and
romance , a lot of philosophy as one
of its characteristics.
"The best illustration I ever heard
of thishe explained to a dinner
party one evening , "was the case of
.a , poor Irishman who had been given
.a fine , juicy piece of steak. Being a
religious man , he placed the steak in
front of him , and there , in the shade
of the trees surrounding his benefac
tor's house , he folded his hands ,
closed his eyes , and gave thanks to
ieaven for the meal. When he was
in the attitude of prayer , a dog rushed
up and captured the steak. Pat
looked around in time to see the food
disappearing over the hill.
" 'Thank heaven , ' he exclaimed ,
again closing his eyes , he left me my
appetite ! ' " The Sunday Magazine.

AT THE PARSONAGE.
Coffee : Runs Riot No Longer.
"Wife and I had a serious time of it
While we were coffee drinkers.
"She had gastritis , headaches , belch
ing and would have periods of sick-
mess , while I secured a daily headache
that became chronic.
"We naturally sought relief by drugs
without avail , for it is now plain
enough that no drug will cure the dis
eases another drug ( coffee ) sets up ,
particularly , so long as the drug
which causes the trouble is continued.
"Finally we thought we would try
leaving off coffee aad using Postum. I
-noticed that my headaches disappeared
like magic , and my old 'trembly' nerv
ousness left. One day wife said , 'Do
: you know my gastritis has gone ? '
"One can hardly realize what Post-
-aim has done for us.
"Then we began to talk to others.
Wife's father and mother were both
coffee drinkers and sufferers. Their
leadaches left entirely a short time
after they changed from coffee to
Postum.
"I began to enquire among my par
ishioners and found to my astonish
ment that numbers of them use Post-
Tim In place of coffee. Many of the
ministers who have visited our par '
sonage have become enthusiastic champions -
pions of Postum. " Name given by

Young orchards should be culti

Peas put back the fertility that the
corn takes out.
Keep the land constantly at work
growing some crop.
Head lice are the great drawback
of chicks raised under hens.
Lima beans will require more ma
nure than other beans or peas.
The tractor is going to be the new
est and biggest help to the farmer.
The manure for peas , beets and
onions should be fine , rich and well
rotted.
The hens need lime and the best
way to furnish it is to feed crushed
oyster shells.
A uniform quality of dairy products
whether it be milk , cream or butter ,
is always best.
Melons of all kinds require an
abundance of moisture and a clean ,
deep mellow soil.
Frequent watering of the teams
during harvest is good insurance
against sunstroke.
Good poultry can be reared and
made to produce in close quarters of
city and suburban lots.
Manure as well as fertilizers should
be thoroughly mixed in the soil be

Do you ever give your horse a cool
bath in summer ? You know how

Hungarian grass'seed sown in rich ,

Some people claim that a hog is a
scavenger by nature , but he certainly
thrives better on clean feed and de
cent surroundings.
Prepotency does not come by
chance , but through years of proper
breeding for certain characteristics
and specific functions.
Many farmers do not have a supply
of cabbage for winter because they
neglect starting plants in midsum
mer for the fall crop.
Every inclosure for the hogs should
be perfectly tight , and with excellent
wire fences that are now manufac
tured this is an easy matter.
The silo is almost indispensable to
the really up-to-date dairy , but silage
is the best form in which to feed
corn to sheep or to beef cattle.
A ewe that la troubled with caked
udder would better be fattened and
sold to the butcher. If she has it onqe
it may be worse the second time.
The average ensilage ration is for
ty pounds per cow daily. This is
seven and three-fifths tons per year.
An acre will yield fifteen tons of
silage. ---r..o - - *
Milk giving is a habit that responds
to encouragement er neglect. It is a
function which may develop or
diminish by the treatment accorded
the cow.
When acorns are-fed pigs their fiesli
is apt to become very soft and oily ,
but this difficulty may be overcome by
feeding corn for three weeks before
slaughtering.
The Indian Runner ducks are not
very good sitters , although they are
often inclined to incubate. Their eggs
are generally into
put incubators or
under hens for hatching.
There is no better feed for young
pigs than fresh skimmed milk. It is
also a good supplementary feed for
brood sows , and , in fact , a good feed
for hops of all kinds and ages.
"Spring pigs can get along very well
without shelter except from rain un
til fall , then if you are so shiftless
as to fall to provide shelter they are
better able to stand cold and rain.
An excellent destroyer of lice is
four ounces of powdered lobelia seed
and two quarts of of boiling water.
Let stand till cool and apply to the af

Feeding sour or sloppy food Is one
way of inviting bowel trouble in the
young chick.
Opinions vary somewhat " "as yet as
to the comparative feeding value of
pea vine silage.
The farmer who keeps better poul
try , or the best , is on the right road
to a paying business.
Asparagus shoots should not be cut
too late , as late cutting will injure the
vitality of the roots.
The proper wayto apply manure is
to remove it from the stable directly
to the field and spread it
Impatience with the heifer that is
freshening for the first time is one
sure way of spoiling the cow.
Do not attempt to raise fall pigs
without having first prepared a per

Tomatoes should be given the last
working with cultivator and then
bedded just before the vines fall over.
If dusty hay is fed , sprinkle with
water and it will save the horse much
annoyance ; but better not feed it at
all.
The greatest forage crop in the
world is corn , and the silo is the most
economical device for use in dish
ing it up.
Free range for hogs does not mean
that they should be allowed to run in
the highways and through the neigh
bors' fences.
Stall manure applied to the ground
fresh is much better than manure
that has been weathered by standing
in the barnyard.
All vegetables which require warm
soil , as okra , beans , tomatoes and
egg plant , should have warm manure
and never muck.
Farmers everywhere are looking for
some economical way of maintaining
the soil fertility or improving It
Dairying is the answer.
Fence corners full of dead weeds
make a fine hibernating place for all
kinds of bugs 'hich will get busy with
your crop next spring.
The alfalfa farmer is not cutting as
heavy a crop this year as ordinarily ,
but he is just as many laps ahead of
the all-grain farmer as ever.
The man who is sincerely interested
in h'is dairy work is pretty sure tto
be a prosperous dairyman and in his
case the dairy business booms.
Stall manure , mixed with ground
phosphate and applied on the ground
fresh , is vastly better as a fertilizer
than manure in any other form.
The cream from the milkings must
not be kept so long that it will de
velop a sharp acid , for that would
impart an unpleasant flavor to the

You would think the manufacturer
a fool who would feed cotton into his

from it , and yet tbe hen is simply a
machine. - l
Try the plan , of flushing the ewes
from now until breeding season , then
follow with good pasture , and you will
see from results that the plan makes
most profits.
We need to have a clear idea of
what breeding does , of what feeding
does , of what care and environment
do , if we secure and maintain a
profitable dairy herd.
In order that a good horse may re
sult the colt should not only be given
a good s'tart in life , but should be
kept in healthful and thrifty condition
through the growing stage.
Cabbage will continue to grow late
in the fall if the ground'is clean and
the surface fine and loose. The same
is true of celery , beets , carrots and
some other hardy vegetables.
Lines of breeding which a century
has developed and stamped with ap
proval ought to prove safer than
the theories of a single mind , made
tangible In afew heterogeneous
crosses.
Turkeys are tough birds , that is ,
they will stand almost anything att-
er they are grown up ; but for some
reason very many seem to have a
world of trouble getting them grown
up.
If the fowls are not allowed free
range add alfalfa meal and some
high-grade beef scrap , and pullets
will be grown that will be a surprise
with their strong , long bodies , well
prepared to shell out eggs the year
round and breed strong chicks for
next year's crop.

Munyon.
GREWSOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON ,
FINDS EXPERT.
Many people In the United States arc
afflicted with a queer disease , according
to a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing : remarkable and rather grewsomc
statement :
"Many persons who como and write to
my headquarters at 53d and Jefferson
Sts. , Philadelphia , Pa , , think they are
suffering from a simple stdmach trouble ,
when In reality they are the victims of
an entirely different disease that of
tape worm. These tape worms are huso
Internal parasites , which locate In the
upper bowel and consume a large per
centage of the nutriment In undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
of forty to sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her m health.
"Persons who are suffering' from ono
of these creatures become nervous , weak
and irritable , and tire at the least ex
ertion. The tape worms rob one of nm-
bltion and vitality and strength , but they
are rarely fatal.
"The victim of this disease Is apt to
believe that he Is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble , and doctors for years
without relief. This Is not the fault of
the physicians he consults , for there lane
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi
tively that one Is not a victim of tape
worm.
"The most common symptom of this
trouble Is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
and canot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food is loathsome.
There Is a gnawing ; faint sensation at
the fiit of the stomach , and the victim
has headaches , fits of dizziness and nau
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he Is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
"I have a treatment which has had
wonderful success In eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of" * Its regular action In aiding-
digestion , and ridding the blood , kidneys
and liver of Impurities it has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm , this treatment will. In nine cases
out of ten , stupefy and pass it away , but
If not , the treatment will rebuild the
run-down person , who Is probably suffer
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvelous success here with this treat
ment. Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms , but they are naturally reti
cent about discussing them , and of coursa
we cannot violate their confidence by giv
ing their names to the public. "

Serenity.
