Girlhood and Scotfs Emulsion are
linked together.
The girl who takes Scoffs Emul
sion haa plenty of rich, red blood; she is
plump, active and energetic
The reason is that at a period when a girl's
digestion is weak, Scott's Emulsion
provides her with powerful nourishment in
easily digested form.
It is a food that builds and keeps up a
girl's strength.

CUTTING TREES.
Iemy Dictates That Saplings

It Is worth while for farmer to pay
a little more attention to their farm
tlnilwr lots. Any one who baa bad to
liujr lumber lately know that Ita price
Is almoet prohibitory.
la fact, building operations 00 the
farm aa well aa elsewhere have been
treatly kept bark by the high prices
asked for ell klmla of lumber.
Take e trip a Unit the country, and
yon will ere auuie things tbat will
make your heart ache If you rare any
thing for trees. In the mill varda of

tbey will bring. This la quite la lloe
wltb Buck we do la other directions at
the pro at time. The dollar we can

The farmer baa It la bk power to

U-flDcInf to die. The ttt farmers do
t IiTm Tufiuaelve, aud If they rent their
lunde tbey luslxt that their tens tits
shall do the same. And then they may
set out more trees.
If tbey are compelled to cut any lire
trees for biiilillng purpoees, thry may
also set out other smaller trees to take
their place. Tbey may also fight Are,
the worst enemy we bare In our for
ests. Tbey may work for better timber
laws. And tbey may educate their
tors to lore the woods and try to keep
them growing.
CUCUMBERS.
They Need Plenty ef Heat, Light and
Met at wee.
To grow cucumbers to perfection
plenty of beat, light and moisture are
required. Tbey will tbiire In any
good aoil not too beery or sandy.
Seed may be sown as soon as the
danger of frost Is past. Six or eight
seeds should be planted In each bill,
the hills bring about sis feet apart
each way.

Frequent cultivating at aordrd sjotfl
tbe Tlnwe begin to run freely. As re-
cumbers are subject to several dis
eases, the old vines should be de
stroyed or cleared away In the autumn,
and tbe crop should not be planted
two years In succession on tbe same
land. The worst feature of cucumber
culture Is the Insect pests, but these
may be controlled by dusting with dry
Insecticides or even with bone dust
encumbers for pickling should be
gathered when quite small. They may
lie successfully preserved In brine,
frnm which thev are taken as needed, j
soaked In fresh water and placed in
vinegar. There are many varieties,
each good for a purpose.

in mnnr sections of the west when
the weeds get too large for the narrow

tIip slicker is usually about tweh

ners are made of 2 by C Inch or 2 by 8
tich scantling. Boards are nailed on
top of the runners. An Iron five-
iKhths of an Inch in diameter is ras
eued at the back of the runners, so
liat it draw In the soil one to two
inches below the surface. A tuln bar
f steel as Ions as the width of the
Implement, about two Inches wide ana
sharpened on the front. Is sometimes
used Instead of the Iron rod. The bar
Is bolted to the bottom of the back of
the runners.
The weight of the driver who rides
the implement causes the rod or knife
to run Just under the surface of the
ground. When the rod clogs It is
dumped by lifting on the handles,
shown in the cut It works very
nicely when the soli Is smooth, finely
pulverized nnd reasonably free from
stubble and other trash. When the
slicker Is to be used enre should be ex
ercised in turning tbe stubble under
well.
Potato Rot.
A man who has tried tbe experi
ment claims that it Is very easy to pre
vent potatoes from rottlns by placing
in different parts of the cellar In vhicb
they are kept a box containing a quan
tity of lump slack lime. He states that
this lime absorbs the moisture which
has such a detrimental effect upon po
tatoes and In his case has resulted In
keeping his stock of this commodity
always In good condition. The plan Is
simple enough and Is well worth a
trial by any grocer who h:is had dif
ficult)' In keeping his pota oss in a
damp cellar
Care of Apple Trees.
Apple trees do best in a fertile clayey
loam or "w hlte otik" soil and on a
southeastern slope. Varieties should
lie chosen which are known to be
hardy In the locality. Information
may le obtained from the state experi
ment stations in nearly every state.
The trees should not be planted
closer than twenty-four feet each way.
Dirt should be well packed about their
roots aud cultivation practiced for sev
eral years.
Between the trees crops of potatoes
or small fruits may be grown. Clean
culture Is essential to prevent Infection
by Insects nnd fungous diseases. The
trees should be watched carefully for
borers, which eat lu the trunk. These
ran 1 dug out with a knife or killed
by poking a wire Into the aperture.
The trees give best satisfaction when
headed low, so careful pruning Is es
sential It Is well to see that the
trunk is shaded on the southwest by
.1 healthy limb, which will prevent sun
sen Id.
When the tree Is coming into bearing
spraying with parls green or bordeaux
mixture is recommended. This should
le done after the blossoms fall and
again three weeks later. This treat
ment kills broods of the codling moth
nnd keeps fungi in check.
THE SWINEHERD.
Tests at the Indiana eierlment sta
tion Indicate that pigs make better
gains w hen their gnilu Is fed dry than
they do when it Is mixed with water.
This would suggest that those who
take the trouble to mix grain with
water before feeding waste their time
nnd to a slight extent the food value
of the grain.
The Pigpens In Summer.
In summer. If the pig kceer la wise,
a large pnHrtiou of hia stock will be
running out to grass. Then of course
la au opportune time to give the va
cant piggrrirs a thorough cleansing
ami lliue washing to act drainage of
yards and outlets right and attend to
any structural repairs that may be
ueivsxary. On a dairy farm especially
should the p Ik series be kept In a sani
tary condition. If neglected, offensive
odors arise from them. In many case
tlie dairy Is not far away. This la a
point which should be watched. When
building or rebuilding pons let them
be aa far removed aa possible from tbe
dairy, for t hia la not only objection
able, but really harmful, aa few things
absorb the Impurities of tbe atmos
phere more readily than milk.
Protein Feeds ef the Farm.
For the pig two to alx month old
protein la the moot Important feed.
Without protein It cannot build op tbe
lean meat or grow to any else. Pro
tein Is found In aklmmllk. clover and
alfalfa. Corn Is nine-tenths cartxv
bydratee. Oats bare little more pro
tein than corn, but not sufficient for
the pig. Rye contains a little more
protein than corn. Itarlry la one of tbe
best feeda on tbe farm. It contains
more protein than rye. In clover a ad
alfalfa tbere Is a Urge bulk for tbe
required nutrients, and pure cannot get
enough for a maximum growth.
Even If yon have cora and cVrrec It

makes it entirely rat and weather proof.

This allows the bogs and poultry to
pick up any corn that may fall through.

ground and twelve feet to the eaves.
The upper floor will hold several hun
dred bushels of small grain, and the
two cornerlbs 8 by 40 feet will hold a
large amount of corn.
Sliding doors are provided at either
end, and a large ventilating window in
the opposite gable ventilates the entire
building. The driveway is used a part
of the season for farm Implements.

Milk Powder.
The manufacture of milk powder has
now reached a stage where the process
Is considered a success In a business
way, and the trouble Is to find a satis
factory market for the product The
greatest field eema to be in the sale of
the powder made from separated milk
from large creameries. The sklmmllk
can be bought at a price which brings
the milk powder to a very low cost.
For wholesale purpoees It can be pack
ed In bags like flour at very little cost
for handling and light cost for trans
portation as compared with the liquid
milk. Large quantities are expected to
be used by the biscuit and cracker man
ufacturers; also by the bakers and con
fectioners lu the manufacture of milk
bread, cakes and pies and such prod
ucts. As It will keep for any length of
time. It should nnd a market on ship
board and for other uses where a sup
ply of fresh milk cannot be bad. It Is
believed that a large business can be
built up without Interfering to any
great extent with the market for fresh
milk.
