Corn is right now at its most tempt- ing stage for enticing the cattle over the fence, and it is also at the stage when most conducive to foundering them if they once get where they can eat it unmolesteck Keeping a close watch on the fences may save you a lot of corn, and perhaps a valuable cow or two. The shooting season is at hand, but there is very little to shoot unless they begin to shoot the shooters. Consider the many good and profit- able points of a wood shed—then build one before winter sets in, Look around over the farm before snow falls, and see how many tools you will find scattered here and there —tools you will need over and over again before spring. Cut that row of corn that waves so temptingly near the pasture fence, apt to push through and break down the fence in trying to reach the corn. | But don’t feed it near the field—haul it away out in the pasture, so the ani- | mals will not hang around the fence after they have cleaned up what you) have given them. a | When the weather grows a little cooler, hatch off a few broods of late | chickens. Lice and mites are then fewer in number, and there is an abundance of bugs, worms and seeds on which the chicks may thrive. | Those who have not learned that drainage is the foundation for good roads are too dense to learn anything In the past two dry seasons our earth roads have been almost perfect, but it is not our fault. Any old road isa good road when the weather is dry. Early harvest, early stacking, early fall plowing, early everything. It really looks as though the proverbial “Slow Smith” farmer_must_ get_all his fall work done before winter comes. In spite of all the swats the fly has been getting this summer he seems to be meaner and more numerous than ever. Perhaps we may see fly- less summers, but it will be after we have learned how to kill the first fly before it is born. The demand for drain tile is not as | brisk this year as it has been the past few years, but those who have places on their farms that are too wet dur- ing rainy seasons should remember that in times of peace prepare for war. Wet seasons will be with us again. The yield of small. grain is rather disappointing in many cases this year, | especially where grasshoppers and | crickets did part of the thrashing. and feed it to.the stock, as they are! better price. buretur or mixer. The Knight en- gine is said to be as noiseless in oper- ation asa clock, besides doing away with valves and valve grinding. There is a wonderful possibility in the use of gasoline, and we are going to make still farther strides in using it to our advantage. It isa mistake to partition off part of the barn for a hen house, because sooner or later there will be a battle with mites and itis hard enough to fight them in a separate house, let alone chasing them all over the barn. Eggs are another article that should be marketed in a different manner than they are at present. They are usually taken to the local stores about once a week, where they are kept a few days before shipping, so that a real fresh egg must be a treat to the city customer. When eggs are mar- keted on the same plan that we now market our butter the city consumer will get fresh eggs and we will get a CURED TO STAY CURED.

I had} sharp, knife-like pains across the | small of my back which were more severe when I stooped. I also suf- fered from sharp twinges in my limbs and shoulders and a kidney weakness annoyed me. After trying several remedies without getting relief, Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my at- tention and I soon found relief through their use. Almost before I was aware of it, my trouble had disappeared.” (Statement given in February 1906.) A PERMANENT CURE. On November 30th, 1908 Mr. Krigg said: ‘The cure effected in my case over two years has been permanent. I always keep Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I take a few doses now and then, finding that they act as a tonic to my system.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

EARNED SURPLUS A Convenience for Farmers No method is more simple for the payment of all charges, for the wages of helpers in the fields or about the house, living expenses or outside ac- counts, than to draw- your personal check on this bank and give or mail it to the person to whom the money is gwed.
