Non-producers must have what producers produce, consequently that creates good market, at profit- able prices. Ihave no faith in the theory that everyone should get their living from the soil. If a man is able 4o live without working, the fact that the does not work makes the way all the easier for the man who has to. But I do not believe in keeping men ‘in idleness who cannot afford a live- without-work policy. A good garden is bought at the cost of considerable work with the hoe, yet, where one has the room, much hoe work may be dispensed with by planting in long rows and far enough apart so a horse cultivator may be used. I notice gardens worked in | that way usually stand dry weather better, because horse cultivation as a rule is deeper. . Whenever I buy another mower it will be a six-foot cut. My horses are | large enough to handle a larger ma- chine nicely, and when the machine is old, if the cutter bar drags back too much on account of its length, I can cut off a foot. 7 Usually the purchase of an auto makes a good roads man out of a fel- low, but I know of one man who has owned a machine fora year and he has not yet shown any symptoms of road dragging alongside his farm. He wears out tires enough traveling in the ruts to more than make up to him for the work spent in dragging a mile of road. : Pigs may be carried through the summer on pasture alone, but some grain fed in connection returns much more than market price. Grass shoats 00 are usually stunted to some extent when the new corn crop matures enough for feed, and it takes enough more of it to get them in thrifty con- dition so that feeding grain regularly through «the summer would be a cheaper plan. Every farmer who turns off $500 worth of live stock of any kind dur- ing a year, and who owns the farm he tills, should also be the owner of scales to weigh the stock. Taking “short weight’’ is a great temptation to many a buyer, and a few pounds of beef or pork counts up in money {these days. Getting, under the lone tree to save wetting when a sudden shower comes up is risky business. The smaller the shower, it seems, the more deadly the lightning that accompanies it, and a lone tree standing ina field is an in- viting attraction for lightning. I would rather take a ducking than to act as terminal for an electric current. A cone trap to catch flies need not be an elaborate affair, nor large in size. One can take screen wire and make a cone no larger than a tea cup, then mount it on a base thatstands up the proper distance to make an en- trance all along the bottom, and turn a glass fruit jar over the point of the cone. A pasteboard for the bottom, with the screen cone sewed to it, and tacked td a small block at eachcorner, is a good plan. Hard rains followed by warm, clear days make it necessary to order “full speed ahead”’ in the cornfield.

With cattle and horses at their present price the loss of a single animal is more than the cost of a load of posts. Fly nets are a necessity, but in ad- dition it is a good plan to apply a liquid ‘fly chaser”’ to the horses’ legs and bellies in order to protect them from the unswatted pests. It is said that a handful of white clover will drive all the flies from a room. If this is the case it should be classed as an equal of the rest of the clover family and then some. The “‘Armstrong mower”’ should be overhauled and ‘sharpened because the battle with the weeds cannot be completely won without its use. Nooks, corners and under fences and some places along the road itis impos- sible to useateam. This is where the ‘‘Armstrong’’ shines. Must Fight for Clean’ Food The housewife will find eyes and nose the safest practical detectives of bad food in hot weather. If any ar- ticle has any suspicion of an unusual odor or looks abnormal, it should be avoided. People eating in doubtful restaurants should be particularly careful about meats or fish cooked with a highly spiced oraromatic sauce which might disguise a bad taste or warning odor. Only sweet smelling, clean food should beeaten. Spotted, green, slimy, or frothy raw meat, or meat which is soft in spotsalsoshould be regarded with suspicion. Taste of course is a supplementary test, but one to be used after eyes, nose, and fingers. A mother before she allows her child to eat anything, should examine it carefully in a good light, smell it, and finally taste it. All foods should be kept covered or wrapped, and always out of the reach typhoid. All vessels, pitchers, etc., in which food is to be stored should To Sweet Sp same dates “« of flies, which are deadly carriers of} 1 BACKACHE IS A WARNING. Butler People Should not Neglect Their Kidneys. Backache is often nature’s most | freguent signal of weakened kidneys. To cure the pains and aches, to re- move the lameness when it arises from weak kidneys, you must reach the cause—the kidneys. If you have | pain through the small of your back, urinary disorders, headaches, dizzy spells, or are nervous and depressed, start treating the kidneys with a test- ed kidney remedy. Doan’s Kidneys Pills have been proved good and are especially for weak kidneys. Doan’s have been |used in kidney trouble for over 50 years. Read Butler testimony: Mrs. Geo. Bailey, 510 Maple Street, Butler, Mo., says: ‘‘When suffering from a dull, heavy backache and pains through my sides and hips about a month ago I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and was cured. There has not been any recurrence of my trouble. I praise this remedy highly.’” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, sole agents for the United States.
