CONVENIENT SMOKE-HOUSE

Good Work.

a good thing to have on every farm, j
Build of matched boards with shingle

of eight-inch tile, B. A piece of stove
pipe should lead out through the roof,
having a damper at D that can b«
worked from the outside of the house.
Hang meat in the house, explains the
Farm and Home, build a fire at the
furnace of green birch chips, turn the
damper so as to fet the draft out
through the stovepipe till the fire gets
going well, then shut the damper and
cover draft in furnace and the smoke
house will do business for six hours
at least.
A GRAIN BIN.
Plan of One Which Will Economize
Space, and Be Easy of
Access.
A grain bin somewhat similar to that
shown in the cut was recently seen
V v—- —by the writer, and
its econo m y of
space struck him
favorably.
Its thickness
from the wall out
r* I 'is not more than
one toot, yet because it reaches to the
floor and can he tarried up four feet
from the floor, its capacity is large.
One-lialf of the front is hinged so
that all the contents can be easily
reached, even when the grain is near
ly used ui). For limited quarters,
says the Farm Journal, such bins
would certainly prove very useful.
SUGGESTIONS.
Buy seed corn on the ear, when it
can be obtained in that way.
See that the seed corn is all germ
inalde.
While the mows are full of hay, it
Is a good time to fix the pulleys in
the roof of the barn for using the
horse fork next year. Not so much
danger of falling and getting injured.
When it gets so that we can dig
e bit .of horseradish with the pick or
crowbar, it is a sure sign that spring
is coming. Keep up your spirits;
horseradish is the' sure forerunner of
spring.—Farm Journal.
The chief enemies of wheat are the
Hessian fly, chinch bug and grain
plant louse. The chinch-bug is cred
ited with annual ravages to the total
of $20,000,000, which is probably a low
estimate.
Man Is Master of the Land.
There are no soil conditions that
cannot be overcome by man if those
conditions are such that they inter
fere with the growing of crops. What
seems impossible now will be possible
later, when the value of land has risen
to the point where great operations
will pay. The sandy, leachy soils can
be covered with a layer of clay and
the heavy lands can be sanded. The
swamp land can be drained and the
arid lands watered. The time will
come when man will put into use
every foot of land not closed up by
the eternal ice around the poles.
Even in the far north, glass gardens
will yet become numerous and beat
back the frost line.
Alfalfa Pointers.
Alfalfa Is ;i deep rooted plant, hence
requires soils in which the subsoil is
of such a nature that the roots can
readily penetrate it. It must be well
drained to a depth of at least two feet
or the alfalfa will not prosper.
Any field likely to be under water
for more than :;<> hours at a time is
quite unsuitable for alfalfa. The same
Is true of a field with hardpan subsoil
within two feet of the surface.
To get a stand of alfalfa sow stiff]
oient good st-ed which you know will
germinate. Have the land well pre
pared and in a good state of fertil
ity, and be sure that tin- land is well
drained.
THE GOOD ROADS BILL
Has the Sanction of the President,
and Sentiment Is Growing
in Its Favor.
Three years ago the president of the
United States gave his indorsement
to national aid in highway improve
ment, and declared in a public speech
that it was help the people have a
right to demand of the general gov
ernment. That was in 1903. Since then
the patriotism, intelligence, progress
ive spirit and business sense of the
country has quickened in response,
and from one end of the land to the
other the good roads campfires have
been lighted on hillside and in valley.
The actual loss and inconvenience to
the country through the lack of decent
means of communication between
town and country, town and town in
the interior, between the homes of the
people and the markets, between the
homes and church houses and school
houses, is so immense that it cannot
longer be borne, and the people are
becoming aroused as they have not
been on any subject since the close
of the civil war. Every thinking per
son realizes that governmental aid and
supervision in road construction is an
absolute national necessity. Every
thinking person knows that state sys
tems will continue to fall short of
adequate remedy for the great trouble
of bad roads, as state systems have
failed for 75 years past except in two
or three of the wealthier states. Some
good road work has been done in a
few states, notably in New York, a
sfate of great cities, where the city
property is taxed with other property,
and money is abundant for the pur
pose. But there are few states able to
do what New York can do for high
ways, and nearly all of the 45 states
of the union realize tueir helplessness
in this respect. It does seem as if
there should be no hesitation about
the enactment of the Brownlow-Lati
mer good roads bill. It provides for
only reasonable assistance in getting
the work under way, and certainly If
the government can spend money for
road building in Porto Rico and the
Philippines, as it has been liberally
doing, the representatives of the peo
ple ought not to deny relief to the
states at home. The plan proposed is
neither extravagant nor burdensome.
It is a plain, practical business propo
sition which appeals strongly for hear
ing in the Fifty-ninth congress, and
the demand for this legislation is
growing stronger all the time. It has,
too, the sanction of eminent ofhcials of
the government, and if the people con
tinue their demand on congress the
Brownlow-Latimer bill will soon be
come a law.
Hon. W. P. Brownlow will send
copies of the bill and other official lit
erature to any person addressing a re
quest to him at Washington.

Hete is a wagon bed holster that is

Treat Oats for Smut.
One of the most surprising facts
connected with farm experience in the
United States to-day is the little at
tention farmers tire paying to oat
smut, which is rapidly increasing in
many localities and is greatly reduc
ing the oat crop. The wonder is great
er because oat smut can be quite large
ly prevented by treating the seed
oats to a bath of formaldehyde. This
material costs but 50 cents a pound,
says the Farmers’ Review, and that
is enough for 50 gallons of water.
This makes a solution in which the
oats may he dipped am! which will
destroy most of the smut spores. All
farmers that grow oats should take
Steps at once to prevent the further
spread of this fungus.
A Proud Title.
Why should not a man be just as
proud to write after his name the
word • Farmer,” as to write “Doctor’*
or “Lawyer?” It is the proudest title
any man can bear, says the Farm
Journal. Only, he must be worthy to
bear it; that is what counts.
Fertilizers.
A man must use fertilizers intelli
gently nr he will throw away a great
deal of money upon them. It is ab
surd for a farmer to purchase a fer
tili/.er just because it is a valuabh
fertilizer and put it tii>on land that
he does not know needs fertilizers. A
man should not expend a dollar in
fertilizers till he knows what kinds he
needs. If his land is rich in a cer
tain elemenf he will imt throw money
away if In* buys fertilizers to put on
his land. Wasting money in tltis wav

It Takes
Nerve
Everything depends upon
your nerves. It is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins: it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take Dr. Miles’ Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
“For eighteen years 1 >r. Miles'
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have be< n
my close companions. Early in mar
ried life, while raisdng children, my
nerves became all worn-out- ould not
sleep; had no appetite; lm ge.tion
very bad. and had such awful dizzy
spoils. Then I began using hr. Miles'
Nervine, and at once I began to im
prove. and soon found myself in
perfect health.”
