ALL' KINDS OF GARDEN VEGETABLES IN THEIR SEASON
Thero nre three practices followed
by many families that lmvo been out
lowed by modern views of suultutlon
and which nre without question !
sponsible for moro tlunipy spells una
doctor's bills than any others in tho
whole cnteRory of offenses against tho
lnws of health. They nro keeping bed
room windows closed during the night
hours to promote wnnntli. the burning
of keroseno lamps turned low during
the same) iiours and the baukiug up of
tho houso vtt ill smelling manure
from the barnyard. Any ono of the
three practices is bad enough, but
when all three are combined it makes
a pretty stiff combination.
The fellows on the usually low and
wet land who In wet years past havo
dono n heavy business in mosquitoes,
bullfrogs and pitchfork burrs, have
been in clover during the past two
seilsons nnd have already harvested
bumper crops of small grain and will
soon gather big yields of corn. The
owners of this low land-almost in
variably rich and fertile should more
fully appreciate that the tilling of this
land will in the main have the same
result in making it productive that
these two dry seasons have done, and
thnt the sooner they get It tilled the
sooner will they cease to be the help
less victims of wet seasons nnd be nble
to raise bumper crops ou it every year.
The commission men are at their
same stale old tricks this year-uame-ly,
reporting an oversupply of fall and
winter apples and thus "bearing" the
market They will likely continue on
In this line until tho fruit is pretty
much out of the growers hnnds. when
prices will Jump as if they had been
given an electric shock. There Is lit
tle question that in the case of late
summer and early fall npples there
was an oversupply in some sections,
bat that there i3 more than hnlf a crop
of standard late fall and winter ap
ples is not borne out by either the gov
ernment crop reports or those from oth
er reliable sources. Hence if one hns
a good quality of fruit which has been
sprayed and Is free from worms it will
le well worth his while to box or bar
rel it carefully, and if a fair price is
not offered by buyers at ouce to put
the fruit In cold storage. Producers
of fruits have been lllmflammed by
commission men long enough, and It is
high time the former took the neces
sary measures to safeguard them
selves. The plan suggested above and
intelligent co-operative effort are two
means by which tills end may be accomplished.
When your feet are wet and cold, and
your body chilled through and through
from exrosure, take a big dose of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, bathe your feet
in hot water before going to bed, and you
are almost certain to ward off a severe
cold. For sale by M. E. Snook.

"EDUCATED CABBAGE."
Advice, on Qrowlng Voflotnblo 8o Do
scribed by tho Lato Mark Twain.
Cauliflower requires a rich, moist soil
and thrives best under Irrigation. Cnu
litlower will not withstand ns much
frost as cabbage. The culture Is tho
same as for cabbago until the heads
begin to develop, after which tho
leaves may be tied together over tho
heads In order to oxeludu tho light and

keep tho heads white, says n recent
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The tender heads of cauliflower nro
boiled and served with butter or cream
ed and are also used for pickling.
Cauliflower seed, formerly produced
almost entirely in Europe, Is now
grown In commercial quantities in the
vicinity of I'uget sound, Washington,
and a few other localities In the Unit
ed States. There arc several varieties
of cauliflower, but without marked
differences among them. Some grow
ers consider Early Dwarf Erfurt and
Snowball, two of the best. A late ma
turing nnd hardy form of cauliflower
Is known ns broccoli.
Lovers of cauliflower are fond of re
calling Mark Twain's dollnltlon of tho
vegetable as "cabbage with u collegu
education."

X FARMING.
X President Tnft In n southern
speech said, "If 1 wero advising
X a young man as to his future
4 profession I should nay to him
that there was probably greater
X opportunity for real reward in
assiduity, industry, attention to
business and scientific investiga
tion In the profession of agrlcul- f
ture thnn in any other profes- T
slou this country nffords." j;
Law Points For the Farmer.
The laws of most of the states say
that farmers shall cut the weeds that
grow on the public hlghwny alongside
the farm, or tho township may do It
at the land owner's expense.
Statutes which allow the owner of
land sold for taxes to redeem on pro
scribed conditions are liberally con
strued In favor of the right to redeem.

A person approaching a railroad

Better Than a "Boughten" Popper.
Hero Is a homemade corn popper
that beats the "bought ones." Take
a piece of heavy wire about three-si-'.ecntlifj
of an inch in diameter and
about seven feet
long. Double
nnd twist tho
wire from the
middle to within
nine or ten inches of the end, then
spread nnd bend like A In the picture.
Take a half gallon sirup pall, punch
holes in tho center of tho ends to re
ceive the wire and perforate the pall
with small holes. Ilend the ends of
the wire so that they are long enough
and must be sprung a llttlo to be put
on. Spring your handle on, nnd your
popper is complete. In use simply
roll it on the stove, and It works (Ino
and does not burn the corn. Farm und
