This may be fyimd iu sjiois around the

wherever the Mir has gained access to
cause the t unions growth. This coiidi
tlou may ho improved ly tramping the
material carefully lu the silo, adding
water by sprinkling with u hose, or if
this is not available direct a stream of
water into the Mower or elevator suf
lieient to saturate the cut fo lder. This
moisture assists the material to settle
and acts as a seal to keep out the air.
There should le lalior and teams

pays to have sullicient help for this

The foregoing timely advice is given
by Ir. !. A. Hillings iu American Ag
riculturist, and the cut shows part of

very great satisfaction.
The Popular Cantaloupe.
Scarcely any branch of horticultural
work has increased of late years like
the growing of cantaloupes. All mar
kets handle them and are glad to ex
tend their season by getting early and
late supplies from nil sections of the
country. Many varieties of melons
end cantaloupes were formerly seen in
our markets, but present requirements
have banished almost all but the Net
icJ Cem, or. as it Is popularly known
today, the Rocky Ford. This canta
loupe, besides possessing the finest tex
ture and highest flavor, is almost round
nnd Is thus easily packed. Recent seed
selection in this strain has produced
a very line fruit, heavily netted, reg
ular in form and weighing about a
round each. W. N. Ilutt.
Utilizing Skim Milk.
There are many fruit farms on
which the flock of fowls Is becoming
every year a large factor. The by
products of these are utilized to some
extent for the poultry, but not so
much, as the byproducts of the dairy
farm. There Is no better way of util
izing skim milk than by feeding to
poultry, suggests Kansas Farmer.
"When this skim milk Is allowed to
sour nnd is made into curd for the
fowls it is still more extensively
available. There is no byproduct that
need go to waste when you have plen
ty of chickens around. They are the
scavengers of the farm and make lots
of waste material into good fresh
ggs.
Varieties of Oats,
As an average for two trials, 1905
nd 1900, the varieties producing the
highest yields at the Kansas experi
ment station were the Red Texas,
t! 37 bushels; Silverine, 52.1S bushels;
"White Tartar, 51.97 bushels; Danish,
48.03 bushels; Kherson, 47.27 bushels;
lxty-day, 40.75 bushels; Minnesota
No. 202, 46.57 bushels, and Swedish
Select, 45.16 bushels per acre respec
tively. The season of 1905 was espe
cially favorable for the production of
oats. f

Cooper is ;i (!iiit, ucnl lttnaiiN
person, with the ttjipcaranoc of t
(Student, rather than a business
man. He is apparently about
thirty one or two yeirs of age. Ue
liret came into public notice hy hit
philanthropic work among the poor.
The larye fortune he possesses hs
made it possible for him to ilistrib
ute many wagon loads of food and
clothing amoiit; those in indigent
''irctiuiitaiices since his arrival in
Chicago.
... nist thst w as known of
oopci'- power over disrate wan
nheti Mr. John islauber, of ItiOT
roadway, Cincinnati, Onio, who
hs in this city on bueincss, dec ar-
d that Cooper, the pbilatithrop at,
was the same prison who saved is
ife last March, after he had been
'iTeii n p to die by his physicians.
ilr. Staubrr stated that last March
the doctors had told him he would
not live until May, as he was iu a
trrible condition; eTery one said he
had consumption; he had a nasty !
cough, with frequent hemorrhages,
dizzy spells, and was so weak that
the least exertion or excitement
world con plstely prostrate him;
here were te?ere pains in the stom- ,
tch and back, and his kidi.tys were,
iu bad condition. j
"After my physicians gave nie i
up," said Mr. Stauber, "Mr. Coopei !
heard of my case and called to see !
me. He left a peculiar medicine;
which I began taking and I inime-1
diately beg in to improve. My j
cough stopped, my stomach no
longer distressed me, and my kid-1
iics were in perfect condition. 1 j
gained seventeen pounds iu seven
weeks, and today I am as well ts I '
cer was in my life." !
A fcf days after this Mr. U. L. j
ulwell, a justice of the peace living
ix :W2 Dearborn Street, reported ;
that Cooper had cured him of a!
severe case of stomach trouble with j
a few doees of bis pcculr.T nudi-'
cii.e. 1
Ilis trouble had been of longi
standing and he had tried many
different doctors and medicines with-1
out relief. From the first dose of I
Cooper's medicine he began toim-
prove, and is to day in apparently i
perfect health.
This was followed by the still I
more remarkable cure of Mr. Thom
as Webster, employed at the Omaha
Packing Company, and living at
5210 South Morgan Street. Mr.
Webster had suffered for yean with '
pain in his stomach, dizziness, pal-',
pitation of be-.irt, backache, and all I
other troubles. He came to Coop-1
er's headquarters and displayed an !
enormous tapeworm, which he said
had passed from his system after he
had taken a few doses of the Cooper
medicine. Mr. Webster said all his
suffering had left him as if by magic,
and he felt like a new being.
The report of these remarkable
cures tlew through the city like
wild lire, and the Public Drug
Store, where Cooper is making his
headquarters, is besieged by people
"tifferir.g from all manner of ail
ments" Tried !UtIics.
How to Have Healthy Feme. If
you want healthy-looking fi'rns
this winter, pive them a steam bath
occasionally. Fill a tub with enough
lioi ling water to come almost to the
top8of the pots and leave it until
the water gets cold. This treatment
will prevent the tips of the fronds
from becoming dry and yellow.
How to Whip Cream Quickly.
One way in which a fruit jar may
be utilized with gratifying and sati
sfactory results is tor preparing
whippid creani. The desired quan
tity of cream for coffee, cake or
fiuitmay be placed in a fiuitjar
and shaken, when it will thicken
much more rapidly than when beat
n with a fork, spoon or egg beater.
If the cream is too warm or too
cold the defect is easily remedied by
plunging the jar into cold or wirm
water, as the case vinay require. A
fuend of mine churns small quanti
ses of butter by shaking cream in a
large two-quart jar.

Cooper created consi'lerHhle
Htntistiiient at the expense of the
doctors by asking them why thpy
did not write their prescriptions in
English so their patients would
know what they were taking.
Since the interest has become 60
widespread that Cooper caunot meet
the pi ople personally, he is receiv
ing an enormous mail, and keeps a
large foice of stenographer employ
ed in answering it. In the mean
time scores of marvelous cures coti
tiuue to pour in.
Mrs. G. Fry, living at LS2 Oak
Strfet, had sulfcied agony for mouths
from rh.'iimtuism. In telling abont
her cafe, she said:
"I have had rheumatism for over
nine years. It bas been getting
worte every year until I have been
almost a cripple Loin it for the past
eighteen mouths. I have leeii un
able to write for over three years, as
the knuckles of my hands were so
swollen 1 could not close my liugerr
enough to write. Every joint in my
body was in the same shape, swollen
and intensely painful. The suffer
ing has been too great to tie cube.
1 have seen a doctor every wetk for
ten motr.hs and havi tried in every
way to get well.
"Liut week I came hire and.
bought.sonieof the Cooer nudicines
1 was told to come back in case I
did not improve. I have come back
anjwav; just to express my thank
fulness. "Yon see my hands. The swell
ing has almost gone. So has the
pain. If yjti will let.d uie a pencil
I will show you that I can write."
Mr. Fry here took the pen "I and
used it readily. "1 told a n-ighbor
who has rheumatism, about it. a .d
she said 'nmybiit Un't the u.i ciei.'.o
uiayte it's something elsj I told
her that until I knew what the
something else was I should keep on
taking the medicine and 1 advised
her to do likewise."'
LYopor claims to have received
the formulas of the medicines he ii
using from an aged priest in a sltepy
Spanish town in Old Mexico. The
Mexicans belicfcd that holy water
or some supernatural element enter
ed itito their composition.
Cooper receives an enormous daily
mail. Letters are coming fiom
eery part of the state, asking for
advice.
The philanthropist reads every
letter carefully, and replies to each
one, advising the remedy which is
applicable to each individual case.
While his remarkable cures are
the chief topic of conversation, many
stories are heard on the streets and
in business places of his goodness to
the poor. His gifts of fund, money
and clothing have relieved a great
auiouut of distrtss, and have greatly ;
endeared him to the people.
He is beginning to show the great;
strain he has been under the past
two weeks, and it is understood that
he will remain here only one more
week.
