RECORD OF THE PAST. The best guarantee of the future is the record of the past, and over fifty thousand people have . publicly . testi- fied that Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured. them of numerous kidney ills, from common backache to dangerous diabetes, and all the attendant annoy- ances and sufferings from urinary dis- orders. They have been cured to Stay cured. Here is one case: Samuel J. Taylor, retired carpenter, tesiding at 312 South Third St. Goshen, Ind., says: “On the 25th day of August, 1897, I made an affidavit before Jacob C. Mann, notary, public, stating my experience with Doan’s Kidney Pills. I had suffered for thirty years, and was compelled at times to walk by the aid of crutches, frequently passed gravel and suffered excruciatingly. I took every /medi- cine on the market that I heard about and some gave me temporary relief. { began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and the results I gave to the public in the statement above referred to. At this time, on the 19th day of July, 1902, I make this further statement that during the five years which have tlapsed I have had no occasion to use either Doan’s Kidney Pills or any other medicine for my kidneys. The cure effected was a permanent one.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ney medicine which cured Mr. Tay- lor, will be mailed on application, to any part of the United States.

Ex-Speaker Reed loves his joke as dearly in these days as ever he did in the times when he was so much in the publi in Washington. It is related that the other day he met a friend from a small town in the where, in rapid succession, ier of its principal bank had been found a defaulter, a leading busi- ness man had failed dishonorably and been imprisoned, and the county clerk (living there) had been convicted of misappropriating public funds. Mr. Reed greeted his friend very effusiv: shaking his hand heartily and saying how pleased he was to see him. The friend, somewhat surprised at the extraordinary heartiness, said: “Mighty glad to see you, Reed, but why all this—er—?” “Why, because,” replied Mr. Reed, “I’m so very glad to see a man from xX-—— out of jail!”—New York Times. Sometimes the Case. “She is of an extremely affectionate disposition, and yet she has been di- vorced three times.” “H’m! Love, with her, seems to be intermittent.”—Judge. instant Relief from Rheumatism and Neuralgia. Here is a case: Mr. T. Shepherd of Whitburn, Sunderland, Ohio, says: “My wife suffered severely from rheuy matism, and neuraigia. She could not get one moment’s rest and was nearly crazed with pain. Obtained instant re- lief and a permanent cure by using the contents of one bottle of St. Ja- cobs Oil. There is no other remedy in the world that will do this. The in- stantaneous effect which St. Jacobs Oil produces is a part of its half a century record.” St. Jacobs Oil is sold in 25 cts. and 50 cts. sizes by all druggists. The words “Acts like Magic,” “Con- quers Pain,” which have been used in connection with St. Jacobs Oil for more than 50 years are wonderfully and truly descriptive. WHAT THE LIGHTNING DOES. Between Seven and Eight Hundred Lives Lost Each Year From Electric Shocks. It is probably not generally known, or eyen imagined, that every year in this country between 700 and 800 lives are lost by lightning stroke, and more than a thousand persons injured. Dur- ‘ing 1899 there were 4,253 animals— cattle, horses, mules, sheep or pigs— killed by lightning in the open fields, while the value of property destroyed, either directly or through fires caused by bolts, was estimated at $6,000,000. There are numberless cases on rec- ord where whole herds of sheep and eattle have been struck with fatal ef- fect. In one instance, in Colorado, ninety-one sheep were killed by a sin- gle stroke, and fifty-two in another. In Iowa where, during the year, 266 cattle were killed by lightning, the cu- rious fact was noticed that 118 were found in close contact with wire fences. ‘Their death was probably caused by the shock received from the fence, and not from the,direct stroke, as it was evident in many cases, that the lightning struck the fence at some dis- tance from the animals. If there had been sufficient ground connection from the fence, the cattle would probably have been saved.—Leslie’ sMonthly. pga eke See 4 In Bed Three Months. Oolitic, Ind., Sept. 15.—Mr. W. A. Terry of this place suffered for months with a very severe case of Kidney Trouble. He was so very bad that he was al- most confined to his bed for three months. He tried many medicines but he could not get any relief till he com- menced to use a remedy introduced here some time ago as a cure for Kid- ney Trouble, the name of which is Doda’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Terry says that the second day after commencing to use this remedy he could notice a very marked im- provement in his condition and in a ay time he was able to go about He’ is naturally filled with gratitude to Dodd’s Kidney Pills for the im- mense amount of good they have done him and says: “I would recommend Dodd’s Kidney Pills to every sufferer from kidney or bladder trouble, for from my experi- ence I am sure they are the best medi- cine to be had for all diseases of that When to Grind Feed For Stock. The following concise advice from a recent book on feeding by Prof. Henry of Wisconsin, a recognized authority on the subject, is commended: “This subject is a difficult one to discuss owing to the great variety of condi- tions existing as to both grain and animals. Directions are here given which may serve to guide the feeder in his practice. For horses which are out of the stable during the day and worked hard, all grain, with the pos- sible exception of oats should be ground. For those at extremely hard work, all grain should be ground and mixed with chaffed hay. For idle horses oats or corn should not be ground, nor need the hay or straw be chaffed. A cow yielding a large flow of milk should be regarded as a hard working animal and her feed prepared accordingly. Fattening steers and pigs may be crowded more rapidly with meal than with whole grain, though there is more danger attend- ant upon its use. Sheep worth feed- ing can always grind their own grain. In general, idle animals and those having ample time for mastication, rumination and digestion do noc need tLeir grain or roughage prepared as carefully as do those with only limited time for these essential operations. Experiments quite generally show in- creased gains from grinding grain, but in many cases they are not»sufficient to pay the cost of grinding.” Large Versus Small Pastures. Prof. W. A. Henry: The subject of large or small pastures is frequently discussed. The majority of experi- enced American feeders favor a single large range rather than numerous small pastures. Grasses, both in va- riety and quality, are never quite the same over the whole of a large pas- ture, and cattle soon detect the slight differences, and satisfy their desire for variety by ranging from one spot to another. In large pastures the hab- its of the animals become regular, and it is interesting to study their move- ments. The herd will be found in the morning on one side of the valley, feeding on the more abundant vegeta- tion. Later, as the sun’s heat increas- es they appear on the hillside, where there is a movement of air and where the grasses are shorter, but more nu- tritious. At noon they are to be seen resting in the shade at still another point. This regularity in grazing cer- tainly conduces to comfort and quiet and is of importance to profitabe re- turns. Where the pastures are cut up into several lots, the fresh bite of rank herbage which comes with each change leads to irregularity and un- rest, thus reducing the gains. Beware of Poor Cottonseed Meal. Of late the practice has become common of grinding the cottonseed hulls with the meal and making a very inferior product to be sold at a little lower price than prime meal, says a bulletin o: the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. If the meal has any ground hulis or black specks in it, or if it is offered at less than $25 or $26 laid down at your station in car lots this year it may be taken for granted that it is not prime meal and that it is either adulterated or stale. A sample recently sent to the station for exam- ination by a feeder in southern Mis- souri showed on analysis to be nearly one-half hulls and to have a value of about $16 per ton on the basis of $25 for prime meal. Good meal has a bright yellow color, free from black specks or cotton fiber; a fresh clean smell and a pleasant taste. If in- clined to be lumpy or if it shows any evidence of having started to mold or is dark in color, reject it. Timothy Versus Corn Fodder. At the Missouri station it was shown that when young beef cattle were win- tered on rough ieed alone a better gain was gotten in every trial with timothy hay than with corn fodder. “From these trials,” says the experi- menter, “it is perhaps safe to estimate that timothy hay is worth fully twice as much as whole corn fodder pound for pound for wintering young cattle. This refers to large, coarse fodder from crops averaging sixty to seventy bushels of corn per acre. That grown especially for fodder would presuma- bly have a much higher feeding value and could be fed with much less waste than this coarse fodder. It should be borne in mind that in feeding this large fodder whole nearly half by weight, viz., the lower portion of the stalk is refused by the stock and is only valuable for bedding and man- ure.” Use of Roots in Cattle Feeding. In all parts of the old world the feeding rations of cattle include roots. In this country litue attention is paid to them, though nearly all scientific feeders advocate their use. In the feeding of beeves roots are valuable, especially before the finishing period is reached. The amount to be fed each day must depend on the size of the steer, but to a 1,000-pound steer 50 pounds per day may be fed at first and this may be increased. As the time for finishing approaches, the daily allowance of roots should be decreased as the food affects the hardness of the flesh, too many roots making it soft. The best feeders advocate cutting the roots, slicing them. Some pulp them and mix them with the forage, delay- ing feeding till the forage is moistened by the pulp. | 5.7; North Carolina, 5.3; South Caro- tom —s Salt as an Egg Preservative. Fine table salt, such as is sold at ordinary grocery stores, was used, says a bulletin of the Rhode Island Experiment Station. Salt to the depth of two inches was placed in the stone jar, and on May 18, 1899, twenty Leg- horn eggs, laid during the five days May 12th to 16th, were placed in the jar, small ends down, not touching each other, and closely packed in the salt. The jar remained untouched in the cellar closet to the end of the test. Result: Good, 0 per cent; bad, 100 per cent. On April 4, 1900, these eggs were examined and their contents had somewhat shrunken, the air cells being greatly enlarged. The whites were orange tinted in some cases and slightly darkened in others. Several used as dropped eggs had a rather flat taste. The whites of sev- eral subjected to the egg beater frothed up nearly as well as_ the whites of fresh eggs. Both the whites and the yolks of these eggs had a taste similar to that of smoked her- ring, and could not therefore be said to have kept well. For preserving eggs for a few months, however, this method may be recommended. It is simple, cheap and for short periods yeasonably effective. Skim Milk for Fish. The proprietor of a creamery in Kansas has a fish pond near his cream- ery and he has noticed that the fish seem to be very fond of curd, He, there- fore, inquires whether it would be more profitable to feed this curd to fish, which are worth 10 cents per pound, or to feed it to calves and pigs. We are not aware of any specific ex- periments having been made to deter- mine this question, but as an origina) proposition, we should be inclined to the opinion that the curd could not be put to any more profitable use than feeding it to the fish. Of course, there should be some care exercised and a very close watch kept to ascer- tain whether this could be used as a sole diet, or whether the health of the fish demanded something in addition. There is n- reason to suppose that the curd would give any unpleasant re- sults in the matter of flavor or tex. ture. We can readily understand, how: ever, that it should never be fed in greater amounts than the fish would} consume readily, as otherwise the sur- plus or refuse might decay and render the water unhealthy.—hoara's Dairy: man. A Cellar. From Farmers’ Review: Last fall we had a cellar made that pleases us greatly. Its new feature is in the benches of earth left on either side and in one end; these benches are 2% feet high from the cellar floor, this floor being a walk or room surrounded by these earth bencbes. The entire in- side was cemented, of course, and as the earth benches kept from moving a lot of dirt and because if there had been no earth benches left we would have placed wooden ones inside we like it greatly. Much nicer to place jars, boxes or cans on these benches than to place them on the floor; saves stooping that all mothers will ap- preciate. Over one bench we made wood shelves to hold the cans of fruit; one can put quantities of cellar stuff in a small cellar if arranged in this way; one that once has a convenient cellar will never do without one again unless compelled to. Ours is ce mented directly on the earth as is also our cistern—Emma Clearwaters. Wells as Creamery Catch Basins. Every once in a while a creamery company sinks a tubular well to carry off the waste water, but in no case so far as we have heard has such a well given satisfaction, and in most cases the waste water contaminated the water in the well used for the cream- ery, and in two cases caused serious trouble, says the Dairy Record. One creamery, after running the waste water in such a well some distance from the creamery was compelled to draw water from a neighbor for two months, and the pump in the cream- ery was kept going day and night dur- ing that time before the water could be used again. Their experiment should suffice for others, but still oth- ers try the same scheme, usually to their sorrow. Acre Yields of Winter Wheat. The Department of Agriculture has compiled a report showing the average yields of wheat in bushels per acre. It is as follows: New York, 16.8; New Jersey, 16; Pennsylvania, 15; Dela- ware, 16.5; Maryland, 14; Virginia, lina, 5.6; Georgia, 6; Alabama, 6; Mis- sissippi, 8; Texas, 9; Arkansas, 9.1; Tennessee, 6.6; West Virginia, 7; Kentucky, 9; Ohio, 16; Michigan, 17.4; Indiana, 15; Illinois, 16.6; Wisconsin, 18.1; Iowa, 17.5; Missouri, 18.2; Kan- sas, 8.7; Nebraska, 22; Idaho, 26.4; Washington, 25.7; Oregon, 22; Cali- fornia, 15; Oklahoma, 11.6; Indian ter- ritory, 12.3. Average for the states and territories reported, 13.8. The Polish fowls are distinguished by a crest or tuft of feathers on th top of the head, which adds much to their beauty.
