* HA8 DOUBLE CAPACITY. Low Down Barrow Which It Just What Farmer Needi. The drawing shows a low down barrow in sufficient detail to enable any one to make a similar one. We think that next to the low down cart it is the handiest thing around the buildings and garden that we have, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. Its capacity is more than double that of the ordinary kind, and the load is much more easily put aboard. It has the advantage of getting into close quarters where the cart would not go, and tor use about the feeding alleys, the stable, the lawn and the garden there is hardly anything that will take its place. For the framework get two pieces of hard wood 2 by 2 inches which will project to form handles cm one end and for the wheel frame on the other. At front end of box in rear of wheel a piece of the same dimensions is mortised into the frame to hold it rig­ idly and to make the front end of the box frame. PieceB 1% by 1% inches are also mortised into the bottom of the legs, both front and back. These form the foundation for the floor, Low Down Barrow. which should be of three-quarter inch boards. The legs are mortised into the shaft or handle pieces, the front ones resting about three inches from the ground and the rear ones securely braced, as shown in the cut. If desired the sides may be built from the floor solid and straight up, but we find it better to have a per­ manent bed from floor to top of han­ dles, with removable side boards to slip on for use in handling bulky stuff. Heavy material, such as bags of fertilizer, large stones, etc., are easily handled with this type $f barrow, as they may be loaded between the handles directly from the ground. MANURE SCIENCE. How Different Feeds Influence-Value of the Fertilizer. The Maine station has recently is­ sued a bulletin describing a feeding experiment. One part of the experi­ ment, at least, is very Interesting, It deals with the Influence feed has on the fertilizing value of manure. Figur­ ing the elements at what they would cost on the market, it was found that a ton of hay contains $4.40 worth of plant food elements. It is not stated what kind of hay was used, but the supposition is that it was mixed hay. Spring wheat bran contains $11.80 worth; fall wheat bran, $9.60 worth; and cotton seed meal, $23.60 worth of fertilizing elements to the ton. In this experiment no consideration was tak­ en of the value the manure would possess as an Improver of the humus content of the soil, which will be very considerable indeed. This shows the reader that if he needs feeds for his cattle and at the same time it is necessary to pay some attention to the fertility of his soil, he should purchase those feeds which are most valuable as improvers of the ma­ nure voided by the stock. It was found that hay was richer in potash than any other element, containing more potash than both nitrogen and phos­ phoric acid. Spring wheat bran had nearly as much phosphoric acid as both nitrogen and potaBh. Cotton seed meal contained almost twice >8 much nitrogen as both phosphoric ac!d and potash. Hence, If the soil needs hu­ mus and perhaps potash, feed liberally of hay; if it needs phosphoric a^id, let bran entur largely into the ration; If It needs nitrogen, a great deal of cotton seed meal should be fed. FARM ITEM8. Do not wait for the wagon to whis­ tle for grease before putting it on. We are told that in bnilding the great dam which holds back the wa­ ters of the Nile for Irrigation, flocks of sheep and goats were driven back and forth to pack down the earth. A roller with teeth like a sheep's hoof has now been invented for packing oiled roads. The Connecticut experiment station states that 5,000 tons of cotton-seed meal are annually used as fertilizer by tobacco growers in that state at a cost of $155,000. In 1899 the acreage cost' was $22.80 per ton, making nitrogen cost 12.9 cents a pound. Last year the price had risen to $31 per ton of meal or 19.4 a pound for nitrogen. No soil that will produce a variety of crops should be farmed continually with one crop. One writer has esti­ mated that ten crops of one kind of grain will exhaust the best soil in the United States. It has been shown that cowpeas ma­ ture in about 80 days. This proves that the seed can be sown after an early*crop of oats has been removed and a heavy growth will result by the time the farmer is ready to fall plow. The farmer who practices a rotation of corn, small grain, corn, small grain, clover two years and pasture two years and then repeats, will never be confronted with a worn-out farm. Protect the Cows. During fly timo it is a good idea to provide an enclosed shed in which the cows can find refuge during the heat of the day. Hang a blanket over the door and the cow passing under this will bru$h off the flies. She will spend two or three hours every day in this retreat. In the evening she will go to the pasture and eat more in an hour than she could hare eaten in three during the day. * ke Improvement of ways Should Be Cirilized nations have good roads. Savage nations have no roads. Prob­ ably the road is the greatest index of civilization. The communities living in savagery do not desire intercourse with other communities and do all possible to make intercourse difficult. A nation must be well advanced in civilization before It undertakes the building of roads. We do not have to go back many thousands of years to find the Caucassian race living with­ out roads and depending on trails in the fields and forests. One of the great drawbacks about country life has been Its isolation. This isolation has been rendered more intense by the badness of the roads which have kept families apart. They have not only kept the families from visiting, but by making progress slow, have compelled the men hauling loads to town to consume twice as much time as was necessary. This extra wasted tiihe has to come out of some place and that place has to be the time that should be devoted to socia­ bility. The years of time that are wasted pulling loads over muddy roads is a great obstacle in the path of civilization. The lost time is such a factor that the farmer in a communi­ ty of poor roads must Spend most of his time in drudgery tc make up for it. Fortunately now there is a move­ ment all over the country to improve the roads and to reduce them to a condition of permanent hardness. This is a movement in the interest of civilization. The good roac| will do more for civilization than almost any­ thing else. The road that the farmer had to take two hours to traverse can now be traversed in one, where the roads have been improved. If we mistake not the general move­ ment, the United States government will in the near future do much more for the construction of roads than it has ever before done. In the recent sessions of congress there has been much talk and some action in this di­ rection. It is evident that the na­ tional government can build inter- state roads for military purposes if for no other, and we may expect to see some such roads constructed. Every mile of such a road will be a civilizer and a stimulus to the communities to build good roads. It is impossible for nations to have good roads while the populations are sparse, but as soon as the populations become dense the relative cost of building is reduced. The population of this country has now reached the point where it is feasible to construct roads throughout the length and breadth of the land. Every dollar spent in the construc­ tion of good roads is a dollar spent in the interests of a higher civilization. The good road opens tfie school to the use of the pupil and increases the -av­ erage attendance. The good road makes it possible for many a child to obtain an education that otherwise would have half of one. The good road increases the attendance on the church' and on every other religious and social agency. In some sections we hear of the farmers opposing the construction of good roads. But, declares the Farm­ ers' Review, that is only because in their case the cost is so great that they do not believe the demand justi­ fies it. There is such a thing as put­ ting in a too-expensive road. What would be the right kind of a road for one place would be the wrong kind of road for another place. Circumstances alter cases. Every community is in­ telligent enough to settle the matter of detaife for itself. Every community is not, however, awake as to the value of good roads and this is why such articles as this appear. The matter should be everywhere agitated in the interests of a broader and grander civ­ ilization. A TIME 8AVER. Have 8tyle of Oate Which Will Cause the Least Trouble. To open and close gates that stock may be kept within bounds the year round is one thing which uses up a great deal of time, and makes no re­ turn. Every gate should be so made A Handy Farm Gate. that it will fall into place of its own weight and stay closed and open with­ out hitch or bother. The cut illustrates a convenient thing that should be in larger use on farms. It Is always open and always closed against stock. Put up and well painted, says Farm and Home, it will last for many years. Remember This. Never sell a thing from the farm that can be doubled in value by put­ ting it into some other product If a bushel of corn can be doubled by feed­ ing it to hogs, it should never be sold. If the income can be doubled by dress­ ing the hogs before selling them they should never be sold alive. The suc­ cessful farmer is not the one who raises the largest crops, but the one who makes the most out of the crops raised. Do I t Now. Do not forget that now is a good time to cover the stubble field with manure. Do not pile the manure in heaps, as is the practice in some sec­ tions of the country. When in heaps the materials ferment^ and much of the nitrogen passes off into the air. Spread it out evenly over the field and leave"3till ready to plow. No fertility will evaporate from the manure when it Is not in heaps large enough to heal of 8oldiers Contracted Chronic Kidney Trouble While In the Service. The experience of Capt. John L. Ely, of Co. E. 17th Ohio, now living at 500 East Second street, Newton, Kansas, will interest the thou­ sands of veterans who came back from the Civil War suffering tor­ tures with kidney com­ plaint Capt. Ely says: "I contracted kidney trouble during the Civil War, and the oc­ casional attacks final­ ly developed into a chronic case. At one time I had to use a crutch and cane to get about. My back was lame and weak, and besides the aching, there was a distressing retention of the kidney secretions. I was in a bad way when I began using Doan'g Kidney Pills in 1901, but the remedy cured me, and I have been well ever since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milbum Co,, Buffalo, N. Y. TRAGEDY OF A BROADWAY CAR. Truly It Is "Everybody for Himself In New York. There were six ia the seat of the Broadway surface car, which was too many. However, everybody who board­ ed the car seemed to take a fancy to that particular seat so some were also standing. A very small man sat crouched on the end seat, a pretty girl next to him. The small man seemed to be very restless, and no wonder, for all the rest were pushing the pret­ ty girl, who necessarily pushed him in a way that seemed to infer that his room was better than his company. At length, unable to endure it any longer^ Me all at once shoved his shoulder under the rail and fell out, apparently. "Mercy!" screamed a nervous pas­ senger, "has he committed suicide?" "I don't know," answered the pretty girl, "but, anyway, I've got the end seat."--N. Y. Press. THREE B0Y8 HAD ECZEMA. Were Treated at Dispensary--Did Not Improve--Suffered Five Months --Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "My three children had eczema for five months. A little sore would ap­ pear on the head and seemed very Itchy, increasing day after day. The baby had had it about a week when the second boy took the disease and a few sores developed, then the third boy took it. For the first three months I took them to the N-- Dispensary, but they did not seem to improve. Then I used Cuticura Soap and Cuti­ cura Ointment and in a few weeks they had Improved, and when their heads were well you could see nothing of the sores.

A good-looking, well-to-d# bachelor of Manchester was being teased by some young women of his acquaint­ ance for not being married. He said: "I'll marry the one of you whom on a secret vote you elect to be my wife." There were nine women in the com­ pany. Each one went into a corner and used great caution in preparing her ballot and disguised her handwrit­ ing. The result was that there were nine votes cast, each receiving one. The man remains a bachelor, the; friend­ ship is broken up, and the women, all mortal enemies, united in the one de­ termination that they will not speak to the man again.--The Tatler. He 8et a Date. A merchant in a Wisconsin town who had a Swedish clerk sent him out to do some collecting. When'he re­ turned from an unsuccessful trip he reported: "Yim Yonson say he vill pay ven he sells his hogs. Ylm Olesen, he vill pay ven he sell him wheat, and Bill Pack say he vill pay In Yanuary." "Well," said the boss, "that's the first time Bill ever set a date to pay. Did he really say he would pay in January?" "Veil, aye tank so," said the clerk. "He say dat it ban a dam cold day ven you get that money. I tank that ban in Yanuary."--Harper's Weekly. What the Poet Says. After their honeymoon to Niagara Falls they came back and settled on the old farm. "Gracious, Sile!" said Cynthia. "Why are you in such a bad humor?" "Making butter is blamed hard work," grumbled Sile, removing the beads from his brow. „ "Oh, cheer up, Sile. Don't the poet say that it is 'love that makes the world go round'?" "Yes, but, by gosh, it don't make the churn go round." rOUND OUT. A Trained Nurse Made Discovery. No one is in better position to know the value of food and drink than a trained nurse. Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa., writes: "I used to drink strong coffee myself, and suffered greatly from headaches and indiges­ tion. While on a visit to my brothers I had a good chance to try Postum Food Coffee, for they drank it alto­ gether in place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks after using Postum I found I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. "Naturally I have since used Postum among my patients, and have noticed a marked benefit where coffee has been left off and Postum used. "I observed a curious fact about Postum when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in cases where coffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. "I find trouble in getting servants to make Postum properly. They most always serve ft before it has been boiled long enough. It should be boiled 15 to 20 minutes after boiling begins and served with cream, when it is cer­ tainly a delicious beverage." Read The Road to Wellyille" in pkga There's a Reason." WHAT FATHER AND HARRY ACCOMPLISHED AN ILLINOIS MAN WRITES RE­ GARDING HI8 SUCCESS <N WESTERN CANADA. Change In Homestead Regulations Makes Entry Easily Accomplished. "Nothing succeeds like success" Is an old and true saying having many applications in Western Canada. The following letter is an illustration. The writer, Mr. Gerts, left Chicago a short time ago and the success he has achieved may well be gained by any­ one having pluck and energy by locat- ing on the free homestead lands in Western Canada. A change recently made In the Canadian Land Regula­ tions concerning homesteads makes it possible for any member of a family to make entry for any other member of the family entitled to a homestead. For instance, a man may now make entry before the local agent for his father or for his brother or brothers, or for his son or sons, or for a sister or daughter who may bo the head of the family having minor children de­ pending upon her for support A sis­ ter, daughter or mother are also en­ titled to make entry, upon a home­ stead. The only fee required is $10.00 for each entry. A great saving in rail­ way expenses is thus made. Read what Mr. Gerts has to say: Battleford, Sask., Aug. 4, 1907. Dear Sir: -- Thinking a letter from us Northwest settlers might interest you, and I write a few lines and let you know we are progressing finely and well pleased with our new home. When I think of the many hard working, industrious men east with families who are struggling for a liv­ ing and doing the strenuous, laying up practically nothing for old age and the thousands of acres of land here yet to be plowed and cultivated capable of raising sixty to eighty bushels of oats, thirty to forty bushels of wheat, it cer­ tainly seems a pity the two cannot be brought together. But I will repeat, this country is only for the industrious and thrifty; also I might add, it re­ quires some capital to start. A man should have at least a team of three good horses; better to have mares so as to have some colts com­ ing along each year. It is best to bring them with him as work horses are high. He should be able to purchase plow, disc and drag, harrow, drill, binder and hay rake. Of course sev­ eral taking up claims or buying land near together can divide up the pur­ chasing of the above machinery and exchange work. This plan will work well for a few years or until crops will warrant each individual to purchase a full outfit. We have 480 acres of as good farm land as lies in the famous Cut Knife district. Every foot can be plowed. Last year our oats run 60 bushels per acre. I sold them for 50c per bushel on the place. The indications are for a good crop this year, though we were very late in seeding owing to the late spring. Last winter was the coldest known in this country by the oldest settlers (some who have been here 35 years>, but with a comfortable house and plenty of firewood, which we hauled four miles, we passed the winter quite pleasantly. The air is clear and dry. Some of the days I came from work I was surprised to find the thermometer registering 40° below zero. Though we never keep fire at night, we had nothing freeze in our cellar. Our stock and chickens wintered fine. I have a yearling heifer, who would hold her own in any "fat stock show." She has never had a drop of milk since she* was four months old- and has never had a mouthful of grain. A gentleman who saw her made the remark, "He bet that heifer had eaten her head off with grain," but would hardly believe she had never had any grain. This is a great country for growing all kinds of vegetables and we are certainly enjoying our garden. The flavor of the green peas is especlaay fine. Last season Mrs. G. canned a lot of them, and we have enjoyed them up to the fresh crop. I am sarry I did not have time this past season to attend to transplanting trees, but will keep the land I had pre­ pared worked up for next season's planting. I received a number of small trees (ash and maple) from the Gov­ ernment Experimental Farm at Indian Head. I put them around the edge of the garden and they are doing fine. I also received qtiite a lot of other seeds, oats, wheat, potatoes and rhubarb roots which were acceptable. . It is useless for us to bother with garden flowers as wild ones grow in profusion. We are located near a fine creek, the water of which Is soft and fine for bathing and washing. We have a well of water near the house, 32 feet deep and 21 feet of water all the time, though it is harder than the creek water. Land which could be bought for five dollars par acre three years ago is now worth $14 per acre and steadily advancing each >'ear. All kinds of improvements are going on. Steam plows and large threshing outfits are already in. Roads are be­ ing graded, bridges being built across rivers and creeks. Last year I took my family, also wagon, across the Sas­ katchewan river ip a row boat, swam my team across and now the contract has been let for $200,000 bridge at that place. The C. N. R. have run their final survey from Battleford to Calgary, running west about one mile north of us. The C. P. R. have run a survey, which runs northwest passes about 500 feet from the northeast corner of our farm. The country will soon be cov­ ered with a net work of railroads and It will keep them busy hauling the out­ put of grain. It is certainly encourag­ ing to us settlers. Two years ago, Harry, my son, and I as you know unloaded our car at Saskatoon and drove 130 miles to our claim. Last fall we had only 18 miles to haul our wheat to railroad and as you see, the prospects are w«* w,ill ^ave a railroad at our very door and a town near-by. This district can support a good town and it will be well patron­ ized. Harry arrived home at 12 p. m. last night after going fourteen miles to blacksmith shop to get plowshares beat out. The shop was full of work and It was eight p. m. when Harry left for home and parties still in line to have work done. We will need stores nearer and good mechanics. We are all enjoying the best of health which is a great blessing. When we left Chicago over a year ago my youngest son's (four years of age) health was so poor that I almost de­ spaired of raising him, but he is cer­ tainly a hearty, healthy little fellow now. The pure fresh air has done him worlds of good. So to sum up the whole. Why should we not be glad we made the break? A good farm, stock Increasing, health and an independent life. What more can we expect? Did we have to make an effort? You can bet we did and hustle, too. Should you pass this way with your shotgun this fall, we should be pleased to let you shoot prairie chickens off our grain stocks. Respectfully yours, CHAS. M. GERTS AND FAMILY. Disillusion.
