A slight pain or a little distress after eat- ing,—not enough consequence, you think, todo anytLing for it. But this is a symptom and warning that you have some derangementof the stomach. If neglected, Chronic Dyspepsia re- sults, and let this continue, as it surely will, unless attended to, a disease of the stomach takes place, that becomes incurable. Gastric uicers form on the li ing of this most deli organ. They eat into {te tender membrane end destroy its tissue and mar its power to perform its ordinary func- tions, and such Q food as should be taken to be of benefit to the body, only causes pain. The blood becomes emac- iated from thedischarges of these loathsome and ever-eating ulcers, until at last the patient dies from sheer exhaustion or from internal hemorrhage should one of the life consuming sores perforate some artery. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is the great blood purifier. For diseases of the stomach, liver and kidney it is a positive cure. Not only is relief given instantly, but a new lease on life is quickly effected. In this connection, Mr. Frank Boardran of Verndale, Minn., writes :— “Kickapoo Indian Medicine Co., Gentle- tiemen:—I have been a great sufferer for years from Dyspepsia. Could eat nothing without great pain. Tried many remedies without relief. ‘The least particle of fat in my food caused me the most intense pain. Asa last resort, I purchased a bottle of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa. Imagine my joy, when [ found what it had accomplished. It cured me. Iam now strong and healthy. Can eat anything and relish what I eat. Sufferers from Dyspepsia should not fail to take this grandest of medicines. I would not be with- out it. ‘Yours Respectfully, Frank BoarpRAN.” Remember that Kickapoo Indian Sagw: gold at all druggists at $1. per bottle. DATRY. AND, POULTRY. INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. ANY cows are com- ing fresh now and they should have considerable care. The want of care at this time is often the cause of sick- ness and loss, says Dorothy Tucker in Farm Journal. Exposure will cause all sorts of (inflammatory diseases. It is cruel and senseless not to do all that is in our power to make them comfortable. Put each cow in a box stall by herself as calving time ap- proaches. Avoid all noise and excite- ment, and insist that the same person cares for her every day. A few days before calving each cow should be given a moderate dose of epsom salts, molasses and ginger. Af- ter the calf is dropped she should have another dose. It is wonderfully beneficial in every case and should never be omitted. Never neglect the warm bran mash immediately after the calf is dropped, and never fail to take the chill off the water for at least ten days. If the weather is at all cold put a blanket on the calf, a little flannel blanket is just the thing. Sew strings to tie around the neck and under the belly. As the calf grows the blanket can be let out to fit. Our calves have often worn these little blankets, and grow so that they little more than covered their backs—and oh, how pretty and sleek they looked. We do not think it best for calf or cow to leave the calf by the mother more than ten days at the longest. If the udder is inclined to be inflam- ed, bathe with hot water and rub thoroughly dry, reduce the food and nature will help. The man who cannot be especially gentle and tender with his cows at this time, should not be a dairyman or stock breeder, and will never succeed. He should immediately go into other business. If the fodder begins to get low, don’t scrimp the cattle, better buy some clover hay and some grain. Better sell something and invest the proceeds in feed than let stock run down and get thin, for that will be a dead loss. How much money has the farmer made this winter, who has kept his cows out in the barn yard with hunched backs and water running out of their eyes? How much rich manure has he sav- ed and applied to his fields? How much poorer is he this year +han he was last year? This isn’t luck. It is lack of brains. A Shortage of Cattle. One peculiarity of the past winter’s cattle trade has been the disposition of feeders to sell their stock as soon as it was in any kind of shape for mar- ket, says National Stockman. Compar- atively few have kept cattle in the feed lot until they were fully finished. This was entirely unexpected in view of the abundance of feed and the difficulty of marketing it in any other way. It has, however, prevented any accumu- lation of cattle to flood the market dur- ing the latter part of the season, as was the case last year. There is no over-supply of cattle in sight. Feed lots are not as full as they were a year ago, either east or west. Distilleries bold comparatively few, many of these establishments having been shut down. There is, too, a shortage of butcher stuff on farms, which is pushing local slaughterers into market for cattle, or to the use of dressed beef. Cows and heifers are unusually scarce at market points, affording an outlet for more butcher steers. On the whole there does not seem to be anything to inter- fere with a good market for heavy steers during the remainder of what may be called their season, and for handy and medium weights thereafter. if the advancing tendency in other live stock is continued it would not be sur- prising to see cattle selling higher within the next sixty days. There is nothing in sight to justify any boom, put an advance of 50 cts. per 100 lbs. is considered within the bounds of pos- sibility by a good many cattle men, Time alone will tell whether their fore- easts are correct. Starting a Flock. This is the season of the year when many are thinking of either starting a laying flock of hens or reinvigorating an old flock by the introduction of new blood, says a writer in Southern Plant- er. It is a good time to do this, as the spring-hatched chickens are of sufli- cient size and so fully feathered as to show clearly what kind of hens they are likely to make, and breeders are now anxious to sell before cold weath- er and the heavier requirements of winter feeding comes upon them. If you have no hens, or only a few “old scrubs” which you have decided to kill off, then the question naturally first arises, what breed should be bought? If the object is eggs and eggs alone, then you cannot go wrong in buying Leghorns, either white or brown. With these you will never be troubled with sitting hens, but you must make up your mind to fence your garden not merely with a four-foot fence, but with one at least six feet high, if you in- tend to keep the hens out of it, or you must have your hen house so far away from the garden that they will sel- dom come near it. They are the most active breed of fowls, and are ever on the alert. As a consequence of this, if the range is large, they will pro- vide themselves during the great part of the year with very much of the food they require, and seldom become too fat to lay. Their close plumage and compact form also conduces to hardiness, and they seldom suffer from cold. Their weak point is their small size if wanted for the table. As egg producers, however, they are probably unequalled, and their eggs, though not so large as those of some of the other breeds, are yet large enough to sell readily on the market for a full price. If the object be eggs and broilers, then we would say buy Plymouth Rocks, Brahmas or Wyandottes. These breeds are all large, heavy ones. They are of a contented, restful disposition, and re- quire only a very low fence to confine them. They are good layers and good sitters, but their sitting propensities somewhat interfere with the quantity of eggs they will produce, but this, of course, is compensated for if chick- ens are wanted by the fact that with any of these breeds you may have chickens almost at any time of the year, for we have known them to sit in the fall of the same year they were hatched, and to have chickens running with them at Christmas. Whilst har- dy, they are not so little affected by cold as Leghorns, as their quiet dispo- sition leads them to neglect that exer- cise which wards off the effects of cold. They should have warm quarters in winter, and they will then lay when most other breeds are resting. If you have already a flock of good hens, then all you need is the intro- duction of new male blood. In mak- ing a selection of a rooster, never buy anything but a pure-bred bird of what- ever breed you fancy. In this way, if you do not buy of the same breed as the hens, you will,- nevertheless, get good blood, and not breed scrubs, but merely cross bred birds. Many of these cross-bred fowls are amongst the best layers that can be kept. A cross be- tween the Plymouth Rocks and Leg- horns makes excellent layers and table fowls. The cross should be made by running a Leghorn rooster with the Plymouth Rock hen. A _ cross of games and Leghorns is a good one. They are good layers, the hens will sit, and the chickens make good broil- ers. The rooster should be a largy game bird. Poultry Notes. Do not feed geese much grain. Use milk for mixing up soft feeds. Fully one-half of early maturity is in the feeding. A little salt in the food is beneficial, too much is detrimental. Inbreeding is breeding within a fixed line without outside blood. Young poultry should never be al- lowed to run in the wet grass. With extra large size fowls comes the increased danger of bumble foot. Inbred stock is that which will trace on both sides to a common parentage. In breeding more depends upon the female than the male, if size is an object. If you raise ducks, do not allow the little ones to go into the water till they are feathered out. : Under ordinary conditions if a lay- ing hen averages an egg a week it will pay the expense of feeding her. Cooked meat chopped reasonably fine can be fed to chicks confined in a brooder once a week, profitably. As a general rule, it will be best to have all surplus fowls of every kind marketed by the middle of this month. Keep the little chicks warm and dry and do not allow them to get hungry, and you will have but little trouble with disease. Roup may be generally traced to want of cleanliness, improper ventila- tion or undue exposure, and guarding | against these will usually prevent it. While the Brahmas are good sitters they are so large that care must be taken in the construction of their nests or they will break a good many of their eggs. Some poultry men claim that by feeding bone dust to poultry an abun- dance of bone and shell making ma- terial is supplied, and in feeding with ground feed the tendency to diarrhoea is checked. Buttermilk Cheese.—A much valued friend up in Minnesota, who did not wish her identity disclosed at that time, wife of one of the men promi- nent in dairy affairs there, wrote us some three years ago that she learned to make buttermilk cheese from a dear old Swiss lady, who knew how to do most things well. And this is the pro- cess as she described it: “We pour our buttermilk in an ordinary milk can and set it in the reservoir until the eurd begins to separate and rise to the | top, stirring often; do not let it get too hot or the curd will be tough. Put cheese cloth over a colander set in a pan and put the curd in, After a few minutes draw the cheese cloth together and tie loosely and hang up to drain say, six hours, when it will be found a compact mass. Break it with a potato masher, until smooth; add a little salt and cream sufficient to hold it togeth- er; press in small cups or molds. It is very like cottage cheese, only finer m flavor.’—Correspondent Hoard’s Dairyman. From an exceptionally clean dairy in New’ York milk was sent in bottles across the Atlantic. Some of them were not emptied and were found to contain milk still sweet when the steamer reached New York. The milk was kept in the ship ice-chest, of course, but even then it shows the great value of cleanliness. Never use a male bird unless he fe pure bred: No matter what the breed- ing of the hens, there is no way to im- prove a flock that is better than to use pure bred males. They transmit to their progeny the good qualities that have been bred into them and make the flock more profitable each year. Dairy science is growing, A SCIENTIST SAVED President Barnaby, of Hartsville College, Survives a Serious Illness Through the Aid of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, From the Republican, Columbus, Ind. The Hartsville College, situated at Harts- ville, Indiana, was founded years ago in the interest of the United Brethren Church, when the state was mostly a wilderness, and colleges were scarce. The college is well known throughout the country, former students baving gone into all parts of the world. on PROF./ALVIN P, BARNABY. A reporter recently called at this famous reat of learning and was shown into the room of the President, Prof. Alvin P. Bar- naby. When last seen by the reporter Prot. Barnaby was in delicate health. To- day he was apparently in the best of health. In response to an inquiry the professor said: “Ob, yes, I am much better than for some time. lam now in perfect health; but my recovery was brought about in rather a peculiar way.” “Tell me about it,’’ said the reporter. “Well, to begin at the beginning,” said the professor, ‘I studied too hard when at echool, endeavoring to educate myself for the professions. After completing the common course I came here, ae, raduated from the theological course. entered ,be ministry, and accepted the charge of a Long-Distance Riding. For riding long distances, the great secret is—keep an even, steady pace, and cut down the stops.

I did as he requested and was some Le scalding Soon after, I came here as professor in physics and chemistry, and later was financial agent of this college. The change agreed with me, and for a while my health was better, but my duties were heavy, and again found my trouble returning. This time it was more severe and in the winter I be- came completely prostrated. I tried vari- ous medicines and different physicians. Finally, I was able to return to my duties, Last spring I was elected president of the college. Again I had considerable work, and the trouble, which had not been entire- ly cured, began to affect me, and last fall collapsed. I had different doctors, but none did me any good. Professor Bow- man, who is professor of natural science, told 'me of his experience with Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and urged me to give them a trial, because they had benefited him in a similar case, and I con- cluded to try them. “The first box helped me, and the second gave great relief, such as ] had never ex- perienced from the treatment of any phy- sician.

The comfort and ease of a long ride depends immensely on the proper management of such small de- tails as the above.
