A CHEERFUL EXPRESSION. it is Not Always So Much to Be De sired as It Might Be. “{ wish I could always looks as cheerful as you do,” said the sweet young thing as she dropped down be- side the attractive widow. “There are iimes when it is embar- rassing, that cheerful expression of mine,” said the widow. “Let me tell you. When my husband died I was journeying alone to his home, where he was to be buried. I was much an- noyed at the persistency with which the man across the aisle attempted to flirt with me. Finally he took a seat in front of me and said, ‘I beg your pardon, but I thought I’d like to talk with you a while, because you have | such a cheerful expression.’ - “And there I’d been weeping my eyes out for two days. So don’t cul- tivate that cheerful look too much or you'll find some one accusing you of looking happy at a funeral.”—New York Times. EXPERT TESTIMONY. Coffee Tried and Found Guilty. No one who has studied its effects on the human body can deny that cof- fee is a strong drug and liable to cause ali kinds of ills, while Postum is a food drink and a powerful rebuilder that will correct the ills caused by coffee when used steadily in place of coffee. An expert who has studied the sub- ject says: “I have studied the value of fcod and the manufacture of ‘ood products from personal investigation end wish to bear testimony to the wenderful qualities of Postum Cereal Coffee. I was an excessive coffee drinker, although I knew it to be a slow poison. First it affected my nerves and then my heart, but when [ once tried Postum I found it easy to give up the coffee, confirmed coffce fiend though I was. “Postum satisfied my craving for coffee, and since drinking Postum steadily in place of the coffee all my trcubles have disappeared and I am again healthy and strong. “I know that even where coffee is not taken to excess it has bad effects on the constitution in some form or other, and I am convinced by my in- vestigation that the only thing to do it health and happiness are of any valne to one is to quit coffee and drink Pos- tum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. | CIRCUMVENTING THE CATTLE TICK. Prof, W. H. Dalrymple of the Louis- jana station, in an address to Ne- braska stockmen, said: We in the South consider, so far as our cattle interests are concerned, and we might also say, those of the North- ern breeder who aims at creating a market in the South, that perhaps the most valuable discovery ever made, is, that when a few drops of blood are drawn from one of our native tick- infested animals, and injected under- neath the skin of a susceptible one, it will produce in the latter a mild at- tack of Texas fever, from which, in the great majority of cases, the animal so treated will recover, and after: wards be able to withstand subse- quent attacks of the disease, brought about by transmission of the specific organism through the medium of the common cattle-tick, or, in other words, become immune. I do not know just. how it is up here in Nebraska, but down our way, there are still to be found a few people, the exact num- ber I have never attempted to esti- mate, who have a sort of ingrained aversion for anything to which the term “scientific” is applied, but who, at the same time, seem absolutely ob- livious ‘to the fact, that scientific in- vestigation, about which they appear to possess such crude notions, and at which they are inclined to sneer, aS if there was some sleight-off-hand juggling connected with it, is nothing more nor less than persistent, pains- taking searching after the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. In this very work of immuniza- tion, we have an excellent illustra- tion: Texas fever, the hitherto dread- ed bane and bugbear of every South- ern stockman, below the fever line, whose desire it was to purchase, in, northern latitudes, pure bred cattle for the purpose of upbuilding and im- proving his degenerated herds, either of beef or dairy animals, has almost as many names as there are breeds of cattle, and just as many theories as to its cause and methods of treatment. And it is probable that such a chaotic state of affairs would still have existed had it not been for the indefatigable, dogged, and persistent efforts of the scientist in his search after truth, which has resulted in the accuracy of the knowledge now possessed relative to the true cause and nature of the disease, and the more intelligent and effective measures by which to com- bat its ravages. As has been previously hinted, the actual, or exciting, cause of Texas fever is a germ—a malarial type of germ—belonging to the protozoa, the lowest form of animal life. Technic- ally, this organism is known as “piro- plasma bigeminum,” and it can be found within the red blood cells of any of our native southern cattle that have been exposed to tick infestation. It may be of interest to state at this point that we have Southern na- tives, however, that are non-immunes. This may appear rather strange to some of you, as it did to many, in- cluding some of our leading stock- journals, when a South Carolina herd of cattle became infected with Texas fever after exhibition at the Charles- ton Exposition in 1901. The explana- tion of such an occurrence, however, is quite simple, when we realize that the tick is, so far as we know, the only intermediary host of the disease- germ, and that there are many places in the southern states, as, for ex- ample, the alluvial lands of my own state, or lands subject to periodic inundation, on which ticks are rarely to be found. Consequently animals born and raiseé on such tick-free places are non-immune, because they have not had the opportunity to be- come inoculated by the natural meth- od, viz., through the intermediation of the tick. But, if animals so raised are afterwards placed upon ticky pas- tures, they will contract the fever just as surely as if they had been im- ported from North of the Federal Quarantine Line. In short, it is, with us, a question of ticks, or no ticks. TREATMENT OF THE SOw. Young- sows should be liberally fed on flesh and bone-producing foods, such as ground oats and wheat bran. In summer they should have a run on clover, and in winter comfortable quar- ters, with access to the yard. It should never be forgotton that exercise is essential for breeding sows. Sows should not be mated before they are nine months old. At all times they should be kindly treated. A good brood sow is worth caring for, as she is more profitable than a brood mare. Her progeny mature more quickly, do not require such expensive stabling, are exposed to less risks, and a ready market is always obtainable for them. In winter a ration of grain roots and clover hay, with access to a yard for exercise, is an economical and suit- able way of caring for brood sows. The farrowing pen should be roomy and warm, with just a sufficieney of litter. In very cold weather it is a good plan to heat a couple of bricks and put them in a basket, cover with chaff, and then put the young pigs on this until all are farrowed, when they may be placed near the teats. For the first twenty-four hours after farrowing give the sow nothing ‘but perhaps a drink of warm water, as food or slops may kill her. The act of a sow in eating her young is often the PRACTICAL VALUE OF TUBER. CULIN. While the use of tuberculin as a diagnostic of tuberculosis of cattle has been undoubtedly abused in many instances where forcible entry was made into private stables by unpro- fessional, uneducated employes of state officials, the fact remains that it is, properly used, a reliable and valu- able agent in detecting the presence of the disease, There need be nothing hidden in the use of tuberculin. Any intelligent farmer may use it success- fully himself with a little instruction. We have given such instruction many times and results following the first use of the agent have been more than successful. This being the case we have always advised that tuberculin should be employed when there is rea- sonable suspicion in the mind of an owner that one of his cattle may be afflicted with tuberculosis and more especially when the udder is the seat of the trouble. We find that it is a common thing | for a milch cow to show the following symptoms: The udder becomes caked (gargetty) now and then and recovers without treatment. There is no good fers no chill or fever. She eats well and appears healthy. The milk from the affected teat or quarter is changed in quality for but a few days then be- comes normal again. Tuberculosis is never suspected by the owner, but in these cases we always suspect it and consider it by far the most danger- ous form of the disease so far as users of milk are concerned. Quite recently a cattle breeder sent us the following report of a cow owned by him: “A-four-year-old cow dropped her first calf, carried full time, tnir- teen months ago, and has not stood to service yet. She was a very poor milker and the calf was taken from her when three or four months old and the cow dried off. In a short time it Was noticed that one of her rear teats was larger than normal, as though it might have been caked a little in dry- ing her up. It has gradually increased in size until now that quarter of the udder is about five inches across, hard and hot. What shall I do for it? The cow seems in first rate general health with the exception of one eye which became irritated while on pasture last summer and seems blind now. She has had no grain for severat months, as I thought it possible she would be more apt to breed if reduced in flesh. An examination shows the mouth of the womb so tightly closed that I have been unable to introduce a hard Tubber dilator about % inch in di- ameter, What do you think of the case?” The owner was advised by us that we suspected tuberculosis and given full instructions as to the making of a tuberculin test. He acted upon this advice, procured the necessary ther- mometer, hypodermic syringe and dose of tuberculin and made the test of which the following is a report: _ Temperature of cow prior to injec- tion of the tuberculin, 6 a. m., 102.2; 11:30 a. m., 103; 6:15 p. m., 103.3. In- jected 3 cubic centimeters of tubercu- lin under skin of neck at 9:30 p. m. same day preliminary temperatures were taken. Next morning tempera- tures were again taken with following results: 6 a. m., 106.8; 9 a. m., 107.5; 12 noon, 107.2; 3 p. m., 107.3; 6 p. m., 107.8 This is a most interesting case. Cow reported to be “in first rate general | health” with not the slightest sus- picion of tuberculosis on the part of the owner was by the above tuberculin test proved to be very dangerously tuberculous. Her udder was doubtless the seat of the disease, but glands throughout the body were also no doubt involved in the disease. The | cow that has stood next to this cow | reason for the attack.

But the trial of one bottle of Peruna me of this trouble, so I continued taking it for several weeks and I was in excellent health, having gained ten pounds.'’—Miss Camilla Chartier. Summer Catarrh, Mrs. Kate Bohn, 1119 Willoughby Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes : “When I wrote you I was troubled with frequent headaches, dizzy, strange feeling in the head, sleeplessness, sinking feelings, faintness and numbness. Sometimes I had heartburn.. My food would rise to my throat after every meal, and my bowels were very irregular. “I wrote you for advice, and I now take pleasure in informing you that my improve- ment is very great indeed. I did not ex- | pect to improve so quickly after suffering for five long years. I am feeling very goo®’. and strong. I thank you so much for Pe- runa.

It is safe to say that the principal | defect in the quality of Canadian but- | ter, as in the butter from any other | country, is in regard to the matter of | flavor, said J. A. Reddick in an ad- dress. The causes which give rise to | this defect are many and not always easily located, but the buttermaker has a great advantage over the cheese- maker, inasmuch as he has it within his power to control the flavor of the butter to a very great extent by the use of good flavored fermentation “starters,” and by proper attention to the ripening of the cream. His failure to do this is one reason why the but- ter is often inferior in flavor. Butter- makers must study this question of ripening cream and the use of “start- ers.” The trouble is that very often the “starter” produces a bad flavor instead of a good one. When the farmer sows his seed he expects to reap what he sows. lf he sows wheat he reaps a crop of wheat, but if the grain he uses is full of mustard-seed I need not point out what the result will be. It is not possible to get fine flavored butter where bad starters are used any more than it is to get a crop of wheat from the mustard seed. The fault of the owner in feeding heat-pro- ducing food prior to farrowing, and giving little, or no exercise.—Prof W. T. Fraser. difficulty is that many buttermakers apparently do not know-the difference between what is a proper starter and what is not. It goes right to the affected part. It soothes first and then cures. It is perfectly pure and clean, does not soil clothing, leaves no stain. Hoff's German Liniment is the “Short Cut Cure for Pain of any name”—internal or external.
