I'revruta Mud Around Tank.
To prevent a mud hole forming

like this can be built A hole or pit
in dug the nlze of the tank to a depth
of f.lx feet and Is filled with broken
stone. The tank In then mounted oil
whatever kind of foundation desirable
which can bo made of brick or stone.
The overflow pipe is placed In the cen
ter of the tank Instead of at the sides
which is usually the manner of attach
ing it. When the wind blows the water
instead of slopping out of the sides and
making a mud hole runs over the top
of the waste pipe In the center of the
tank and runs down to seep away In
the broken rock and porous sub-soil.
The accompanying illustration will in
dicate how it is constructed and the
manner of disposing of the overflow
of water from a stock tank. It will

be better to have the water line a few
inches lower than the top edge of the
tank so as to preclude the possibility
of any water escaping and making a
mud hole.
Crops Following Con Peas.
One ought not to get the idea that a
worn out piece of ground can be plant
ed to cow peas one year and be sown
to seed so as to raise a paying crop the
following year. Cow peas renovate the
soil and supply nitrogen, but they can
not and do not entirely rebuild it in a
short period. If one has a worn out
strip of soil, he must expect to spend
some time and energy on it to get it in
proper condition.- A plan somewhat af
ter the following would work well : Sow
five peeks of cow peas per acre broad
cast and with them four or five hun
dred pounds of some good fertilizer, us
ing a fertilizer more heavily endowed
with potash and phosphoric add than
with nitrogen, although It should con
tain some nitrogen. About the middle
of the summer plow the cow peas un
der, lime the soil heavily, five hundred
pounds or more to the acre, harrow In
and sow to a mixture of crimson clover
and rape. This, plowed under the fol
lowing spring, would give one a soil
fairly good for some cultivated crop
upon which a liberal quantity of fer
tilizer should be used. Exchange.
Marker for Corn and Bean.
The runners of this marker for corn,
beans, etc., are of ash, with pieces of

are of spruce, lxC. Can mark rows

To Kill Canada Thiatle.
It may be a trifle early to discuss
Canada thistles, but, if you are liable to
forget, clip this out and put It where
you can get it readily, and apply the
remedy when the season comes :
Put half a bushel of salt in a barrel,
and hot water enough to dissolve the
salt; stir till dissolved, dd water
enough to nearly fill the barrel and dis
solve in It one quart can of concen
trated lye. Let It cool, then sprinkle
freely on the thistle patch. It Is claim
ed they will wilt and die. This ought
to be effective if anything will.

It Is safe to sny that In no other pro
foHMlon, for farming is a profession If
properly carried on, are there so few
practitioners who understand the fun
damental principles of their work as
among farmers.
Wo call In a physician, and feci that
If he can not tell us pretty nearly what
the trouble is with the patient that he
does not understand his business. We
give a case to a lawyer, and if he makes
a mess of it we feel, and rightly, that
he Is not up In his profession. We of
the farm have a poor crop under nor
mal weather conditions, and guess at
the cause.
If we plow and sow we hope the soil
will bring a certain return. If it does
not, how many of us can tell why? The
truth of the matter Is, we plow and sow
without much regard to why we do it,
and with even less regard of what our
soil needs are and whether we have
supplied them.
If every soil worker In the country
could tnke a course of one year in prac
tical soil chemistry, there would be
such a change In farming operations
and results as would startle the world.
We read and see many agricultural suc
cesses, and In each and every case we
would find, If we investigated, that the
owner of the farm was well acquaint
ed with It as well acquainted with the
ease as the successful lawyer is who
wins a case before the bar. Why not
begin to study the farm? It surely will
pay. Indianapolis News.
Ahe( Good for Fruit Tree.
I think very favorably of hard wood
ashes for orchard use as p dressing for
the soil, says a well-known orchard
owner. It appears that we get results
from their use altogether out of propor
tion to the amount of phosphoric add
and potash they contain, and that this
must be credited to the effects o? the
lime they contain upon the soil con
tents. The chemist tells us that the
lime, potash, etc., contained in wood
ashes are in the best possible form for
plant use. I would want more phos
phoric add than the ashes contain, and
would prefer to add It in the shapu of
steamed bone rather than acid phos
phate. I have used large quantities of
acid phosphate In the past, and still
favor Its use, but not In combination
with either wood ashes or common
lime.

Henry Draft Anlniala.
At a recent Missouri Association
meeting, Prof. Kennedy spoke as fol
lows about the heavy draft horse :
"The heavy draft horse weighs from
1,000 to 2,000 pounds, and is worth, at
a minimum, $200. Each of the first
two additions of a hundred pounds
above 1,000 increases the value of the
horse $25, after which every addition in
weight means $50 a hundred pounds.
So a draft horse of 2,000 pounds is
worth $500. Light draft horses, weigh
ing from 1,300 to 1,000 pounds, are used
for express wagons, Are engines and
other heavy but quick work. These
bring about $125 to $200. The high
acting carriage or coach horse is worth
from $200 to $2,000. The roadster or
gentleman's driving horse, and the galt
ed saddle horse vary from $200 to $300
respectively up to $1,000. In the last
ten years there has been an advance
of 25 per cent in the draft horses of
Iowa and Missouri.
There always has been, and there
always will be, a good demand for first
class butter. The man who makes good
butter, not necessarily butter that the
groceryman calls good, but butter that
the most critical trade pronounces good,
will always bring remunerative prices.
There is no reason why the farmer
should not he able to make as good but
ter as any modern creamery, in fact,
there are many reasons why he can
make better butter. It all depends up
on the Individual and tne facilities be
has for turning out a good product
The ingredients that enter into S. S. S. and the method of com
bining and preparing: them so that thev build ut and strengthen
every part of the body, make it the greatest of all tonics. S. S. S. is nature's
remedy PURELY VEGETABLE and while it is restoring the lost arme-
tite, overcoming that tired, run-down feeling, and other ailments common to Spring, which
warn us that it is necessary to take a tonic, it is purifying the blood of all poisons and waste
matters so that it can supply to the system the strength and nourishment it needs to keep it
in perfect condition during the depressing summer months that are to follow.
one
Spring is the season when most every
needs a tonic. It is nature's time for
I have used S. 8. S. quite extensively and unhesitatingly
reoommend It as the best blood purifier and tonio made.
I am a machinist by trade and at one time my system was
so run down that by 10 o'clook every day I would be com
pletely exhausted, and It was with the greatest effort that
I oould pull through the balance of the day. Since taking
8. 8 8., however, all this has disappeared. I am a strong,
vigorous man, abundantly able to do my day's work, my
appetite has been whetted up so that I oan eat anything,
my sleep is sweet and refreshing, and I know further that
it has purified my blood and put it in good condition. I
oannot speak too highly of your great remedy, S. S. 8.

SHE FOUND IT THE BEST SPRING TONIO.
On two occasions I have used 8. S. S. in the spring with
fine results. I can heartily reoommend it as a tonlo and
blood purifier. I was troubled with headache, indigestion
and liver troubles, whioh all disappeared under the use of
8. 8. 8. My appetite, which was poor, was greatly
helped. I oan eat anything I want now without fear of in
digestion, and my blood has been thoroughly oleansed of
all impurities and made rloh and strong again. As a tonio
and blood purifier it is all you olaim for it.

renewing and changing ; and as everything
puts on new nie, me sap rises in vegetation,
the earth thaws out from its winter freezes,
and all respond to Spring's call to purge
and purify themselves, there is a great
change also takes place in our bodies. The
blood endeavors to throw off the poisons and
accumulations which have formed in the
system, and been absorbed by it, from the
inactive winter life, and calls upon every
member to .assist in the elimination. The
system is often unequal to the struggle, the
appetite grows fickle, the energies give way,
the spirits are depressed, and a general run
down condition is the result.
Then the body must have assistance
it must be strengthened and aided by a tonic,
and S. S. S. is the ideal one. Being: made
entirely from roots, herbs and barks, it does
not disagreeably affect the system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market,
which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and
digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S. S. tones up
the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food ; it rids the system of that
always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It re
establishes the healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms
the unstrung nerves which make one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S. S. S.
gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find' our
selves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season.
' It acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other remedy,
and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. Dyspeptic; irritable, nervous, debili
tated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of
the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as
for toning up and helping the entire system. When you take your tonic this Spring do not
experiment, but get the best the tonic with forty years of success behind it, and the one
endorsed by the best people all over the country S S. S., THE GREATEST OF ALL
TONICS It is ntcessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every
point, that the right remedy be used one that is especially adapted to the condition, and
S. S. S. has proved itself to be this remedy for many years. If it is taken at the first sign
of Spring the system will be so built up and strengthened that the disagreeable affections of
the season will not be felt as wanner weather comes on.
