The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
October 8, 1021 
Whose fault is it when your 
husband is cross at 
breakfast? 
If you hit your thumb 
with a hammer you 
wouldn’t blame your 
thumb for hurting. 
Then why blame your 
husband whose nerves 
may have been pounded 
by coffee, and whose rest 
probably has been broken 
by the irritation of the 
caffeine it contains? 
If you stay awake half 
the night you don’t feel 
any too cheerful. 
The caffeine of coffee 
and the thein of tea are 
known drugs. If their use 
is persisted in, sooner or 
later the nervous system 
may give way. 
Then you may have 
insomnia, or disturbed 
sleep. Your nerves and 
tissues will be robbed of 
that stability essential for 
normal and happy living. 
You can avoid this 
possibility if you’ll stop 
drinking tea and coffee and 
drink instead, rich, pleas¬ 
ing Postum. 
Postum is the deli¬ 
cious cereal beverage with 
a coffee-like flavor. It 
affords the advantages of 
a hot drink, without the 
ill effects of tea or coffee. 
Order Postum from 
your grocer today. Try 
it with the family for a few 
days, and see what a dif¬ 
ference there’ll be—how 
it will permit Nature to 
bring sound sleep and 
strong, sturdy, quiet 
nerves. Sold by grocers. 
Postum comes in two 
forms: Instant Postum (in tins) 
made instantly in the cup by 
the addition of boiling water. 
Postum Cereal (in packages of 
larger bulk, for those who pre¬ 
fer to make the drink while the 
meal is being prepared) mads 
by boiling for 20 minutes.

Does not Shred 
It Husks 
Stalks are fed from upper platform to 
snapping rolls on top, which removes 
the ears and drops them to six husk¬ 
ing rolls below. Endless apron, eight 
feet long, carries stalks to end of 
machine, for bundling or feeding to 
ensilage cutter. 
The Chicopee Corn Husker can be operated 
by a 4 to 6 h.p. engine, and under good conditions will husk 40 to 60 bushels an hour. 
Write for catalog and prices. Husking time is almost here. How are you going to do it this year?

Storing Dahlias and Gladioli. —If 
you are growing Dahlias and Gladioli 
you should get them into the cellar before 
the ground freezes hard. T’se a spade or 
a fork for digging the bulbs. If you try 
to pull them up by the tops there is cer¬ 
tain to be damage and loss. When dig¬ 
ging the Dahlias you must be careful not 
lo break the neck of the individual tu¬ 
bers, because this will interfere with 
their growth next year. Don't pull the 
tubers apart until Spring, as they keep 
better in a clump. It is wise to leave a 
few inches of stum attached, and to store 
the roots with the stems downward, be¬ 
cause the clumps contain moisture which 
will cause decay unless- it drains away. 
It isn’t necessary, as many people believe, 
to have the tops of Gladioli turn yellow 
before the bulbs are dug. One of the 
biggest Gladiolus growersr in Xew Eng¬ 
land began digging his small bulbs early 
in September this year, and the others ii 
few weeks later. lie says you can get 
them dug for half tb e cost if the work is 
done while the tops are green, so that t’ 
rows are easily seen, and that the hulos 
keep just as well if not better than if 
digging Is delayed. This is a good point 
for men who sue growing Gladioli in a 
commercial way to keep in mind. 
Ladders in tfif. Orchard.—I have 
been interested in the different kinds of 
ladders which I ho fruit men use. In 
peach orchards step-ladders are in favor.

Chicopee Corn Husker 
A Cherry-pie-Icing Ladder. 
The apple people prefer, apparently, 
kng ladder, the sides of which come to¬ 
gether at the top. The advantage of such 
a ladder is that it can easily he pushed 
out upon the higher branches. The cherry 
growers like a ladder which will stand 
alone, and yet which is somewhat taller 
than the average step-ladder. What they 
use is an ordinary short ladder with dou¬ 
ble supports reaching from the top to the 
ground. Such a ladder can he set almost 
anywhere without respect to the nature 
of the soil, and makes it possible to pick 
the cherries at the end of the limbs with¬ 
out danger of breaking them off.
