The Cora Phredder.
Last season's experience with corn
shredders and buskers has developed
several objectionable features, the
most serious being that they are too
expensive, and that tbe fodder too fre
quently molds when baled or stored
in mows. The first will gradually dis
appear, predicts the "Orange Judd
Farmer." As tbe machines become
more generally Introduced and used,
tbe first cost will be less, and compe
tition among owners will necessitate
a reduction of charges for work by
the acre. The matter of knowing how
to keep tbe fodder properly Is more se
rious, and experience alone can deter
mine the best method of storing. That
It can be kept hardly admits of doubt
The problem is certainly not more dif

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ticial effects, to note when you pur

all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If

may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the

Figs stands highest and is most largely

Qnallty of Vegetables.
There Is great difference in quality
of vegetables aside from tbelr fresn
ness. It Is due to tbeir method of
growing. All roots need to be grown
quickly, which require that the soil be
rich and moist If tbe soil is poor or
dry, tbe roots will be stringy and unfit
either for human use or feeding. At
tbe same time, it Is not best that roofs
