ROYAL VALLEY COFFEES
Your old brand of coffee may be giving you satisfaction; but if there is
something better, and it is more economical—-because you don't need to use
so much of it—why, you want it, don't
you?
"Something Better"
is the demand of progressive people today; and in preparing Royal Valley Coffees, Peter Smith & Sons have that aim
in view over and above everything else.
A lot of people who are very particular
(as they should be) about their coffee,
have tried Royal Valley
Nero, Marigold or Tzar
coffee, and they're enthusiastic about
them. More people are trying them,
and praising them, every day. No such
coffee-values were ever seen in this town
before. Right away you will notice the •
difference—the

TWO BARLEY LEAF DISEASES
Blights, Commonly Called  Rust, Has
Appeared in Many Sections in
Past Two Seasons.
(By "WALTER B. LEUTZ.)
During the past two seasons there
has appeared in many sections a
widespread disease on barley, commonly called rust, but in no way related to this disease. It is caused by
an imperfect fungus.
There are two forms of these leaf-
spot diseases of the barley, one an
early bligbt which has been designated as "the yellow leaf disease."
The yellow leaf disease appears
early   during the   season.      This   is
a.—Barley leaf affected by "late
blight." b.—Barley leaf affected by
"yellow leaf disease." c.—Blade of
corn affected by this fungus.
characterized by yellowish longitudinal stripes alternating with darker
lines. This is transmitted by the
seed.
The late barley blight causes brown
spots of irregular outline, and occurs
on the leaves, glumes and seed. The
leaves are easily broken up and completely destroyed in some cases.
There are many species of this fungus on grasses, and one occurs on the
leaves of corn, sometimes doing much
injury.
CORN CRIB IS MADE MOVABLE
Serviceable   Building   May   Be   Constructed Out of Old Barrel Staves
—Keeps  Grain   Dry.
(By E. G. STEIN.)
A good movable corn*?crib may be
built of barrel staves, that is the
walls, the roof of lap siding or any
kind of roofing you want.
For the side Avails use two lengths
of staves and run a pole on the middle, as shown in the cut, to nail the
staves on and run the two rods
through the middle of the crib, one
through poles and one through plates.
The size of the crib is according to
how much corn you raise.
The walls must slant out a little
toward the top, as this will keep out
the rain better.   The floor is tight.
This kind of a crib is quite cheap
and may be built of small poles nailed
A Movable Corn Crib.
close together if no barrel staves are
at hand.
Such a crib keeps the corn in good
condition. It drys quickly and keeps
dry all the year around, which is not
possible for corn kept in a tight granary- where it molds and spoils at once.
Is The World Growing* Better?
Many things go to prove that it is.
The way thousands are trying to help
others is proof. Among them is Mrs.
W. W. Gould, of Pittsfield, ST. H.
Finding good health by taking Electric Bitters, she now advises other
sufferers, everywhere, to take them.
"For years I Suffered with stomach
•and kidney trouble," she writes.
"Every medicine I used failed till I
took Electric Bitters. But this great
remedy helped me wonderfully."
They'll help any woman. They're the
best tonic and finest liver and kidney
remedy that's made. Try them.

IN   REPAIRING  A   DIRT  ROAD
Few Little  Hints That Will  Tend to
Make   Work   of   Fixing   Up
Highway Easier.
In repairing a dirt road:
Don't fill up the holes and ruts in
the dirt road with brush, with rocks
on top, and a little dirt to cover the
rocks; hut fill up the hole with dirt
of the same character as the balance
of the road.
Don't throw all the refuse from the
ditches into the middle of the road,
thus softening the surface and destroying the solid, firm hed that you
have obtained hy previous *work; but
throw this material out on the' opposite side of the ditch.
Don't leave the center of the road
the lowest point; but make it the
highest and give, the surface of the
rOad a slope of ahout 1 in 20 to the
side ditch.
Don't carry the water across the
surface of the road from one side to
the other; but carry it by means of
culverts underneath the road.
Onions in Winter.
To keep onions over winter put them
in a dry location, such as a barn loft,
and spread them on the floor or on
shelves in thin layers. If they should-
happen to freeze it will not damage
them provided they are not disturbed
when frozen. They should be covered
with sheets of paper' in order to assist
in preventing sudden thawing, but
usually if the layers of onions are not
so thick and the location is dry, they
will keep without difficulty.
