A Farmer' Enterprise. -
An Iowa farmer has succeeded In
opening up a big field for his enter
prise by applying an old method to a
new service. He has gue into the
business of furnishing fresh eggs daily
to a regular list of customers, after
the fashion of the milkmen and bakers.
This farmer Is a man who raises many
chickens and markets a large number
of eggs. These he hod been selling to
dealers, who In turn sent them to cold
storuge warehouses or to wholesalers.
Finally they got to the consumers, usu
ally pretty stale and much the worse
for handling, through the retail grocer
or huckster. When egRS were plenti
ful and the wholesalers were well
stocked up, the farmer got little for
them. When eggs were few and prices
to consumers were very, very high,
the farmer found that his eggs in the
warehouses were still In competition
with the producer. This man's egg
route isn't an egg route exclusively.
He sells dressed chickens and other
fnrm produce, too, and when his egg
wagon is going about the driver takes
orders for other things which are raised

This soil should be pressed down and
the seeds scattered either in rows or
broadcast. Cover the seeds by sprink
ling through a fine sieve a small quan

frequent sprinkling will provide the
conditions necessary for germination.

How to Grovr Potatoes.
Director Woods of the Maine agricul
tural experiment station summarizes
his suggestions as to succesful potato
growing as follows. What he says
about thorough preparation of the soil
is applicable to that to be used for any
crop.
Select highly fertile land, so situated
that It will suffer as little as possible
from either excessive rain or from
droughts.
Thoroughly prepare the soil and fer
itllze liberally.
Spray for Insects and blight, early
and often.
Keep the crop free from weeds and
the surface of the soil loose during the
whole season.
Do not let anything prevent the po
tato field from receiving constant care,
Vastly more failures In potato grow
ing can be traced to neglect of crop
than to luck of knowledge.
When and How to Prnne.
It is very Important that the healing
process should start soon after the
wound Is made, otherwise the cambium
will be killed buck quite a distance
from the exposed surf nee, and healing
will be greatly retarded. For this rea
son winter pruning should be avoided,
particularly in frosty weather. In the
early fall or late spring the cambium
Is active and wounds made at this time
start to heal at once, and there la lit
tle or no dying back of the cambium.

Tremendous Cost of Prairie Doors.
In the state of Texas alone prairie
dogs eat annually enough grass to sup
port 1,502,500 cows. Utterly useless, the
little animal Is a pest so dreaded that
the forestry service has undertaken his
extermination. Poison is killing him,
wherever he now flourishes and another
resource of the farmer is safeguarded.

says the Technical World Magazine.
Out on the national forests which Uncle
Sam Is guarding for the use of the pub

prairie dog with zeal, ingenuity and
poison and literally exterminated them
in great numbers, because some of their
choicest bottom lands have had the
grazing ruined for stock by the indus

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS
By Clarence L. Cull en
When you mildly praise another
woman your wife knows that you mean
to mn her down.
The New Thought cult comes In pret
ty handy for quite a number of women
who, for reasons, must have their
thought stuff ready-made.
.There are plenty of martyrs who
wear no halos. The men, for example,
whose wives carry blocks of ice, in the
shape of feet, to bed with them.
It Is always the woman who suffers
most acutely from jealousy who says
this: "Huh, I'd hate to have a husband
that other women wouldn't look at"
We know a man who 'washes hit
wife's hair every other Sunday merely
for the reward of having her tell him
that his hands "are so nice and strong."
A woman's Idea of facing adversity,
when her husband's business flattens
out. Is to move from the ?!M)-n-inonth
flat Into one that only costs $87.50 a
month. ,
Have you ever met a woman who
didn't know perfectly well that, If she
had Lillian Russell's clothes, she'd
make Lillian look like somebody that
had been left out and rained on?
She considers thnt you are callous
and devoid of sentiment when you
smile over her weepfulness at the emo
tional play. But If you wept with her
she'd loathe you for a uoody-naddy.

It Is on excellent plan to bow a cover

It Is more a matter of quality than

The trees that are tilled must be

more potash and phosphoric acid and
less nitrogen.
The fruit grower Is apt to make two

other is planting too many trees.

Get Rid of Spring Humors
Impure or effete matters accumulated in the blood during the winter
eause in the spring such disfiguring and painful troubles as boils, pimples,
and other eruptions, also weakness, loss of appetite, that tired feeling.
The best medicine to take is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly
cleanses the blood, and effects permanent cures by giving healthy func
tional activity to the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and skin.
Hood's Sarsaparilla effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it
contains sarsaparilla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values
of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and en
riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very rem
edies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ail
ments. There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla. If urged to
buy any preparation said to be "just as good," you may be sure it is in
ferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.
Begin taking Hood's Sarsaparilla today, in the usual liquid form or in
the chocolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar.
