Up to the present time spring sown speltz has given better returns than the fall sown on the farm of the Okla­ homa experiment station. There are known varieties, however, that are well able to withstand the winter and are even quite hardy in that respect a? well as droutn resiBtant. In the fall of 1902 one plat was seeded to speltz. The soil was in excellent con­ dition and the seed germinated mod­ erately well, but the plants made a very slim growth during the fall and fhs major portion of the crop was de* strpyed by the frosts of winter. Last season two plats containing one acre each were seeded to this crop. The seed was sown October 20 and the plants made a fair growth on both plats tip to the winter season. The cool dry weather during the winter months was very severe oi the crop. The plants on one plat went back to such an extent that it was necessary to reseed it in the spring. On the re­ maining plat the stand was very light. The yields for this season are given in the table below: Grain, bu. Straw, tons T?st Treatment per A. per A. perbu. Fall sown..J..6.9 £2 27.2 Spring sown.9.8 .68 24.0 The yield of grain per acre was fig­ ured on a basis of 30 pounds per bush­ el. • In this test ths spring sown speitz gave the largest yield of grain per acre. The quality of the spring sown crop was inferior to the fall BOWL. Weeds came up very thick in the fall sown speltz and this, of course, in­ creased the yield of straw per acre on this plat. It should also be noted that very heavy rains occurred at the harvest season and this had a ten­ dency to decrease the yield per acre to quite an extent. Experience with this crop on the station farm would lead to the opinion that very little, if any, pasture, can be obtained ffrom speltz during the fall and winter months. It may bo possible to obtain, in the near future, hardy varieties that will furnish a fair amount of pasture, but tor the present wheat will give far better satisfaction in this respect The Hessian fly has given us no trouble whatever in this section. Tho Insect works on wheat, rye and barley, and probably will also work on speltz, the latter plant belonging to the same genus as wheat One authority states that though none of our wheats are exempt from attack, those varieties with large, coarse, strong straw are less liable to Injury than weak-strawed, slow-growing varieties. Speltz has a very stiff straw, which Is much in its favor so far as insect attacks are con­ cerned.--Oklahoma Station. To Keep Up Soli Fertility. Agriculture demands and deserves all the Investigation which is being given to it--it is In need of, and is worthy of, all the investigators whose services are being devoted to this greatest of all our industries; but let us remem­ ber that It is only a genius who can draw correct conclusions from incom- plete data or insufficient premises; that we are to use all obtainable in­ formation to guide us, and that we are to work together as a unit for the betterment of American agriculture. The work is greater than any man or any office. Let every man develop and magnify the line of work which he is called upon to perform, but let us neither decry nor ignore nor un­ derestimate the value of any other good work. And God speed the time when we shall agree on some funda­ mental principles; and when we shall discover and demonstrate the best and most economic methods for the perma­ nent maintenance or increase of the productive capacity of our soils, not only by maintaining the most suitable physical conditions of the soil and by effecting the utmost possible control of soil water and by the most econ­ omic utilization of the virgin fertility already stored In the soil, but also, wherever necessary and profitable, by liberal additions to the soil of valu­ able plant food,--not by the purchase and use of sodium nitrate, almost cer­ tainly not, but undoubtedly by the assimilation and utilization of unlim­ ited quantities of atmospheric nitro­ gen,--probably not by the use of acid phosphates, containing six per cent of phosphorus and sixty per cent of man­ ufactured land plaster, usually sup­ plying, as commonly practiced, less than one-half of the phosphorus actu­ ally removed by the crops and stimu­ lating the soil to give up a greater quantity of the stock of plant food it contains, thus leaving it in a still more Impoverished condition, but much more likely by returning to the land in pure form the bone meal produced on the farm and by using, together with farm manures and leguminous green fertilizers, large quantities of fine ground rock phosphate direct from the almost inexhaustible natural phos­ phate deposits in our southern states. --Prof. C. G. Hopkins. Specifications for Farm Drains. The matter of specifications for the construction of tile drains is in my opinion very Important, although al­ most universally neglected, says Pro­ fessor Marston in a book on drainage investigations. Every engineer ought to prepare and always keep on hand regular printed specifications and forms of agreement between land own­ er and tile contractor, with blank spaces for filling in particular names and adding special clauses as individ­ ual pieces of work may demand, and he ought to furnish a copy of such printed forms with each set of plans he prepares. At present there is too often only a general verbal agreement between the land owner and the ditch­ er. There is no way to enforce good work in all particulars, and too often disputes and dissatisfaction regarding the agreement and the work arise which could readily have been pre­ vented had there been written speci­ fications and agreement The dairyman should start with the right kind of a ,cow if he wishes to build up the right kind of a dairy business, that is. a business that pay*. IN GREAT DISTRESS VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESIST* EP EV#BY EFFORT TQ ,v.' , „ - '• ^ 'CHECK, - ; Mrs. Brook. Became So Weak SHs Thinks 8he Would Have Died But For Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Sarah L Brooks, of No. 45 Lin­ coln Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives tha folio wing accuuul of her cure from dis­ tressing spells of vomiting: ^ "For five years off and on I was treated in vain by different doctors for relief from a stomach trouble which showed itself in frequent and trying spells of vomiting. Part of the time 1 was able to work, said again i would be confined to bed for three or four days in succession. "My stomach was at times so deli­ cate that tt would not retain even plain water. The spells would some­ times occur at intervals of half an hour, and would leave me so weak that 1 would be compelled to lie down between them. 1 would have several oi them during the night following a day of such attacks. Finally I be came so weakened that I had to give up working altogether. I weighed only ninety-feur pounds. "Last January i read about Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills for Pale People in' one of the Chicago daily papers and bought a box and began to use them. After 1 had used half a box I found that I could keep on my stomach the food I ate. 1 was encouraged by this and kept on using the pills for four months. At the end of that time the vomiting spells had ceased altogether and my weight went up to 142 itgunds and is still growing. "1 think 1 surely would have died if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for 1 sometimes vomited clear blood, and for three or four days at a time I could not eat a bite of any­ thing. One doctor said I had chronic inflammation of the stomach, and an­ other said my difficulty was a cancer, but none of their medicines did me any good at all. Finally I concluded that 1 did not have blood enough to digest my food, and 1 began the treat­ ment that has cured me. I can eat anything now, and have strength for all kinds of work. 1 always keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on hand, and 1 recommend them to my friends be­ cause 1 know they cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills agree with the most delicate stomachs and strengthen the digestive organs until they do their work perfectly. They are sold by all druggists. ; Sound Obscured by 8ense. 'In course of a Southern tour." said John D. Rockefeller Jr., "I attended church one Sunday morning in a quaint little wooden meeting house where the pews were of unpainted pine boards. "The minister was a good man, a sincere man, a really eloquent man. but he had an unfortunate habit of bellowing. He bellowed like a bull. His voice .shook the rafters. The sound overwhelmed the sense, and it was often impossible, for very noise, ,to get at the man's meaning. "He was especially loud during the prayer. I never heard such an uproar as filled the little building while this Southern minister prayed. After he was through a little girl on my left gave a sigh of relief, and I heard her whisper to her father: "'Father, don't you think that If ho lived nearer to God he wouldn't hare to talk so loud?'" Gained Ground on Famous Tackle. W. W. Hefelflnger, formerly a mighty football player, was driving along Hennepin avenue, Minneapolis, the other morning, when he heard a runaway horse approaching. The frightened animal was attached to a buggy in which sat a screaming wom­ an. "Pudge," as his friends call him, jumped from his own conveyance, handed the reigns to a passer-by and waited for the runaway. As the ani­ mal lunged past the football player made a splendid tackle, securing a hold on the throatlatch, and brough. the horse to a standstill inside half a block. Then he drove away, quietly remarking: "That's the first time any­ thing gained so much ground after I tad tackled It." CAN DRINK TROUBLE. That's one way to get It. Although they won't admit it many people who suffer from sick headaches and other ails get them straight from the coffee they drink and it is easily proved if they'e not afraid to leave it to a test as in the case of a lady in Connellsville. "I had been a sufferer from sick headaches for twenty-five years and anyone who has ever had a bad sick headache knows what I suffered. Sometimes three days In the week I would have to remain in bed, at other times I couldn't lie down the pain would be so great. My life was a tor­ ture and if I went away from home for a day I always came back more dead than alive. "One day I was telling a woman my troubles and she told me she knew that it was probably, coffee caused it She said she had been cured by stop­ ping coffee and imping Postum Food Coffee and urged me to try this food drink. ; "That's how I came to send out and get some Postum and from that time I've never been without it for it suits my taste, and has entirely cured'all of my old troubles. All I did was to leave off the coffee and tea and drink well-made Postum in its place. This change has done me more good than everything else put . igether. , "Our house was like a drug store for my husband bought everything he heard of to help me without doing any good, but when I began on the Pos­ tum my headaches ceased and the other troubles quickly disappeared. I have a friend who had an experience just like mine and Postum cured her just as it did me. "Postum not only cured the head­ aches, but my general health has been improved, and I am much stronger than before. I now enjoy delicious Postum more than I ever did coffee."

Comparatively few ducks are raised on American farms, and the duek pop ul&tion of the country holds a very small place in the total o£ our feath* ered fa^m stock. The business has drifted largely into the hands of spe­ cialists, even In the localities where ponds and streams on the farms abound. Where ducks are raised on the farms they are kept In small flocks, being chiefly for the home sup­ ply. Yet there seems to be no good reason why dueks should not be kept in greater numbers than they are. They take naturally to the marshes and ponds and the food they gather would be lost in the event of their not being kept In summer time our pools and ponds swarm with water in­ sects, and the ducks find these a fav­ orite food. Ducks also are great in­ sect hunters qn dry land and help apprecltbl^;.t9Vi|iQ4ftce th& numbers <& any pest Probably thfl thing that militates most against the duck is the fact that it is not an extensive egg producer like the hen. It lays so few eggs dur­ ing the year that they hardly more than supply the demand for eggs for- setting. Meat must' therefore be the only source of revenue to the farmer that raises them. The hen not only promises a good supply of meat to the producer, but in the meantime pays her way with the surplus eggs she lays. It is a settled fact that the duck cannot compete with the ben as an all-around bird. But the duck has due advantage over the hen. It is comparatively free from disease, and many a man, after a disastrous experience with the roup or cholera in his flock of hens, discards them and goes to keeping ducks. In addition, the farmer does not hfve to fight mites and hody lies of hens. This compensates for a good deal and is of importance to the farmer that feels he can spare very little of his time for looking after poultry. For them also it is unneces­ sary to buiid a high fence, one two or three feet high, answering every purpose. This applies, of course^ to the few varieties that are generally kept on the farm. There are breeds of tame ducks that will do as much flying as a hen. The chief point in favor of the duck is its ability to grow rapidly. It will outstrip a hen in growing, from the Arst. At ten weeks of age a chicken will weigh perhaps two pounds, while the duck will weign iour or five add is ready for the table. The duck does not care for the rain, and wet weather does not drive it to cover. It con­ tinues to hunt its feed in all kinds of weather, when the land aqd the streams are not covered with snow and ice. Ponds and streams of water are not absolutely necessary to ducks, but it is the general impression that they do better if given water in which to swim. It is claimed, probably right­ fully, that ducks given water in which to swim produce more fertile eggs than these that are restricted to dry landw Roosts for Turkeys. F. McGrew, writing in a bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture, says: Turkeys do best, when they can roost in the open. If well fed they will thrive more in the shelter of the trees than in a close confined house. The troubles that arise from allowing them to live in the trees are that they become wild and frequently are stolen. If housed, their quarters should be airy, roomy and perfectly clean. It is not wise to have them roost with other poultry. If found necessary to confine them, all that is needed is a shed or house that A Turkey Roost In Rhode Island. ' will protect them from the elements and marauders of all kinds, and at the same time not be too confining for them. Place the roosts well up from the floor and keep the interior perfectly clean and free from vermin. In localities where it is- not too cold during the winter months, it is better to allow the breeding stock to roost ip the open, either in trees or upon roosts prepared for them by planting posts that project about eight feet above the ground. Upon these place long poles about 2 or 2% Inches in diameter for roosts. Roosting places of this kind are better sheltered wh«a located on the south side of a barn or building, as in the illustration. .. In Shipping Fowls. In shipping fowls consideration must be given to several things, among others to the matter of pure air. When fowls are boxed up tight and packed Into cars with other boxes it sometimes happens that fowls are smothered before reaching their des­ tination. This is not so many times the case as the injuring of the fowls for future usefulness by close pack­ ing in a closed car. When fowls that are to be used for breeders are sent long distances with no provision made for air or for feed or water, their experience is such that they arrive at their destination greatly exhausted Those that handle fowls know how long it takes fowls to recover from such an experience. Sometimes the fowls do not seem to recover more than partially, but thereafter easily succumb to the first bad cpfidlUon they meet Scours are the resuit of inJti(ITc!ous feeding. They may often be caused directly by a germ, but the germ could not get a suitable medium in which to multiply if the digestive processes wont on as t^jqr ^ould. • V, " " • * '• i / •: One Man Who Likes It Well Enough, but Prefers Roast Beef. "Where I stayed in the Adirondacks this season," said a returned summer" boarder, "we had, after the deer sea­ son opened, venison twice a day. I ate it just once, and then I cut it out "It was good venison, and nicely cooked and nicely served, but as a matter of honest fact I'm not much stuck on venison; it doesn't seem to me to have much taste anyway. "I can* imagine that venison from a deer that a man had shot himself might taste very good to him--very good. In eating it he would have the pride of the hunter in being able to provide for himself, and after the hard work and exposure of hunting he would have the appetite of forty- seven mules. Venison cooked at a campflre under such circumstances would taste very good. But on a hotel table? Not for me. "I may lack sporting blood, and I may lack the taste of a really add truly epicure, but I have no great hankering for venison. I like it well enough, but as between' venison and roast beef, why, give me roast beef." „ ' Sure Cure at Last.
