J, Pemberton bought a jennet of J. B. Martin for $50. Stnce he bought the jennet he has sold four young jacks from the jennet that brought him $2000, He still has two young jacks from this jennet which he only a tew days ago refused an offer of $1000 for them. This would make @ total of $3000 worth of jack colts sold from this one jennet which was boughttor $50 Mr. Pemberton recently sold a two year-old jack to & Kansas buyer for $400, and a four-months-old jack colt to a Mr. Magruder of near Trip- lett for $200.—Armetrong Herald. The officers and men of the battle ship fleet are full of praise for the kindness and hospitallty shown them during their long crufse and the visits to forelyn lands. One of them says he was unable to spend any money during the trip, because wherever they wens no one would take any. That certainly was extra- ordinary, for as u rule foreigners seem to think that Americans have money to burn and the hotel keep- ers, merchants and others are quite willing to help on the conflagration. But It may be assumed that knowl- edge of the Uulted States has increas- ed abroad somewhat of late. Uncle Sam isa great deal bigger mao fn the world’s estimation than he was ten or eleven: years ago, and the na- tions of the earth are corresponding- ly willing to do honor to him and his representatives, says an exchange. This is the trade-mark of Scott's Emulsion andisonevery bottle of it sold in the world—which amounts to several millions yearly.

What else are you tp expect?—Re- view. There fs more dragging of country roads than ever before at this tims of the year, and the farmers so ep- gaged are to be commended. Oshere who have not yet dragged will begin when they observe the great good accomplished by their neighbors and will be ashamed to be the exception and have bad roads fn front of thelr premises. Dragwing is cersaluly the system, and road overseers should secure drags and use that method more tn thelr work, The recent published tinanctal state- mens of county showed a bonded indebtedness on that coun- ty of $996,000 or just four thou- sand less than a million dollars. This bonded indebtedness was creat ed as a bonus for aratlroad, which Cass was never built. We are experienc ing a slight touch of that in old Mt. Pleasant township, of which we are forcibly reminded each taxpaylng time to the tune of a 50 cents levy, and our children’s children will hard- ly see the last of it, The story comes from Knobnoster that a farmer in that vicinity a few Sundays ago went over to acoal bank to pick coal for a few hours and to make certain that he got ready to go home in time took a small alarm clock along, setting the alarm for the hour that he wanted to start back. He got throughina shorter length of time than he con: templated, and mounting his horee started home. He had not gone far before the alarm went’ off witha whir, Tho horse he was riding dis liked the nofse so much that he very promptly bolted down the road so suddenly that the rider was landed sprawling {n the mud and left tocon tinfue the journey home afoot, The Democratic party is nelther dead nor halt deaa! 1 polled 6,393,- 182 votes last fall, an increase of 1,- $15,211 over 1904 as against a Re publican increase of 4,190.

In one sense it has gained asenator in Colorado, for while the venerable Senator Teller has participated fo the Domovratic caucus for several years, he was a Republican until 1896, and siiil re- tains most of his Republican belief+ and sympathies. Statisties, however, tell only a small part of the ssory of the rehabilitation of the Democratic party. Tho old factional feuds are dead. The party fs reunited again.

Mudd of Bates county, who for several years past has been in charge of the stockade yard at the state penttentlary, re- cently quit his positlon and return- ed to Bates county the fis’ of the month to take charge of his farm.

He did not know the child was fll until the past year hogs have been dying off from some disease, commonly known as hog cholera. We have heard of the vaccination plan of sav- ing hogs, and we think there issome- thing init. We know that vaccina- |: tion saves cattle from black leg, and we know what it does to people in the case of smallpox, so there is no reason why !s would not be a very good preventive that we want, as there {sno knowncure for hog di- sease after it attacks the animal. The time has come when It coats too much to raise hogs to have them die off when they get about ready to market. I have been a great advo- cate of the dipping tank, and others in my neighborhood are using it quite extensively. I make a practiee' of running my hogs through the tank every few weeks, and find that {t has a very good effect in keeping them free from lice. Then we have! found that by keeping our hogs ina dry andclean penthey fare much better.
