CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED.” Newberry, 8. C.—W. Chief of Police, of Newberry, says: “I suffered for a number of years with kidney complaint. There was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made me feel miserable all the time. The kidney secretions were dark and full of sediment, and lack of control compelled me to rise a number of times during the night. Between this @nnoyance and the backache it was impossible for me to get much sleep and my bealth was being undermined. I tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy according to directions promptly brought about a change for the better. After using two boxes the backache all left me, the kidney secretions cleared up and the action of the kid- neys became normal.” .

It is generally supposed that cats are carniverous animals, yet-from in- vestigations recently undertaken by a French cat fancier it would appear that vegetarians are to be found even among the feline tribe. Green peas, cooked, are among the vegetables most favored by these four-footed gourmets, and asparagus is regarded as an extraordinary dain- ty, even the hard, white stalks, usually rejected by the most fastidious “hu- mans,” being eagerly devoured. Hari- cot beans and sorrel are not much thought of, nor spinach, but cooked chicory and lettuce are more to their taste. Carrots are generally appreci- ated and are said to be beneficial to cat health. They are also excessively fond of maize, either green, or even the hard grains when cooked. Fruit, apparently, does not appeal to puss, apples, pears, peaches and apricots failing to arouse her appe- tites. On the other hand, they show a decided taste for melons and bananas, while some were found to be absolutely greedy over cocoanut in any form. There is evidently likely to be an opening in the future for a cat’s vege- table man to compete with the peripa- tetic cat’s meat man of the present.— London Telegraph. Would Not Pay Twice. A man recently, whose bans of mxr- riage had been twice published, asked leave to substitute the name of an- other girl for the one which had been so far coupled with his own. He was, of course, told that this could not be done without withdrawing the first banns and payment of fees a second time. “Do you mean to say I should have to begin all over again?” he asked. “Certainly,” was the reply. The banns must be published three times in the names of the persons who are actually to be married.” “And must I pay all over again if T have the other girl?” ge ’ replied the clergyman. “Well, I call that too bad;” and then, after a few moments: “All right, I shall stick to the first girl. ('m not going to pay twice over for anybody.” He was married accordingly the fol- lowing week.—Tit-Bits. BUNCH TOGETHER. Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally Attacking Some Organ. Ails that come from coffee are cumulative, that is, unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are con- tinually appearing and the old ones get worse. “To begin with,” says a Kansan, “I was a slave to coffee just as thou- sands of others to-day; thought I could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and 1 had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month, Could hardly keep my food on my stomach, but would vomit as long as I could throw anything up, and when I could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach I thought I was better. “Well, two years ago this spring I was that sick with rheumatism I could not use my right arm to do any- thing, had heart trouble, was nervous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tips were blue as if I had a chill all the time, and my face and hands yellow as a pump- kin. My doctor said it was heart disease and rheumatism, and my neighbors said I had Bright’s disease and was going to die. “We I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morn- ing would drag myself out of bed and go to breakfast, not to eat anything, but to force down some more coffee. Then in a little while I would be so nervous, my heart would beat like everything. “Finally one morning I tcld my hus- band I believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought I would try Postum which I had seen advertised. He said ‘All right,’ so we got Postum and although I did not like it at first I got right down to business and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the whole family got to using it and I tell you it bas worked wonders for me. Thanks to Postum in place of the poison, coffee, I now enjoy good heaith, have not been in bed with sick headache for two years although I had it for 30 years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouble from my heart or from the rheumatism. “I consider Postum a necessary ar- ticle of food on my table. My friends who come here and taste my Postum say it is delicious.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Get the book, “The Roard to Well- ville, in each Dkg. Se ariat In Pasturing Rape. The time is here when the sheep will be turned into the new rape pas- ture. In this connection a few things should be remembered. One of them is that rape should not be the only kind of feed given to any kind of stock for several reasons. In the first place it is very succulent, and it would be difficult for a sheep to eat enough of rape to keep it in the best of condition, even if there was not a danger of bloating, which there is. In all cases there should be access to the rape and to pasturage at the same time. The sheep should not be turned into the rape all at once, but should he allowed to eat it for only half an hour the first time, then an hour, and then the time may be gradually increased from day to day. When they have become accustomed to it, there is little danger that they will be injured by it, provid- ed they have access to other pastur- age or other feed. On the first day the sheep are allowed access to the rape pasture, they should receive a full feed in the barn or shed or feed lot, so they will eat but lightly of the succulent rape of which they will show themselves at once very fond. Rape should never be pastured very close. If the sheep are made to de- pend on it too much they will eat it down to the ground, and its recovery will be slow, even under good con- ditions of moisture. If, however, the feeding is so regulated that the sheep will only eat off the tops and will leave most of the stumps and some of the leaf stems the plant will continue to grow and develop while it is being pastured. This is one thing greatly in favor of the rape plant. When properly handled it is an enormous producer of valuable pasturage. The man that has had rape for a number of years will need no advice in this regard, but many new men are now beginning to grow rape and to feed it extensively to sheep as well as to other farm stock. The Balanced Ration. A large plantation owner of Louis- jana, in an address delivered before the Louisiana Live Stock Breeders’ as- sociation, said: “The money saving of scientific feeding is so great,as to scarcely- be believed, unless it is brought to our own doors. The Paris Omnibus Company, which works 10,- 000 horses, and which formerly fed its stock solely on oats, found a sav- ing of $9.26 per head a year by the par- tial substitution of corn for oats. On our plantations in Assuthption it was only in August last that we began to look seriously into the feeding of a balanced ration, and our feed bil) for the year, for 240 head of stock, amounted to an excess of $10,000. This year we are following to the letter a balanced ration, and by adding to our corn molasses and cottgn-seed meal, we will have sufficient of the former to feed to last until our new crop is harvested. This will be with an ex- pense of less than $2,500 for the pur- chase of meal and molasses. Formerly we used to feed as high as 18 pounds of oats per day per mule, that is, when we were out of corn, which, without figuring the cost of the hay given, in quantities of as much as the mules would eat, brought our cost of feed to 25c per. head with oats, at the present market value of 44¢ per bushel. Our present feed consists of eight pounds of corn and cob meal, two pounds of cotton-seed meal, eleven pounds of molasses and 15 pounds of Peavine hay, which figures out ,quite near to a balanced ration with a nu- tritive ratio of 1 to 6, at a cost of 14.5 cents per head, allowing 5c per gallon for the molasses and $6 per ton for the peavine hay. Thus you can read- ily see that our feed is costing us at present about one-half as much as it did formerly. Buying the Ram. The earlier the ram is selected the more certain the buyer is to’get what he is looking after. A good many farmers buy rams in the fall, but wait till late before doing so. They seldom take into consideration — the numerous delays that are likely to in- tervene before the ram is actually pur- cased and located on the farm. If the buyers waits till late his order is sure to get to the breeder at a time when the latter has other such orders to fill. If the breeder has more orders than he can uu he has to decline to fill the order and the buyer has to seek another breeder. The second breeder may be sold out as was the first and the buyer has to try again. All this time the weeks are slipping away. Then there are delays in shipping, which can never. be foreseen. So it is altogether the part of wisdom for the buyer to take steps to secure his ram as soon as possible, That oats make a better feed for the horse than corn, especially in spring, is generally conceded. The corn has an overbalance of heat form- ing material, which gives him a great surplus of fuel to be changed into en- ergy. But there must be muscle on which to exercise the energy or it cannot be used. Corn produces too little muscle. With oat: the balance is more nearly equal aud the energy and the muscle on which to exercise the energy are in about the proper proportions. For this reason the far- mer is able to get mcre work out of ten pounds of oats than out of ten pounds of corn. When a man loses Lis temper he is gure there is ample reason for it. ‘more available as decoys. Shall Farmers Raise Broilers? The farmer frequently asks himself if it will pay him to raise broilers. The prices quoted for such are some- times very high and the farm reader can but help thinking what a revenue he would have if he had annually a few thousand pounds of broilers to sell. But, as a general thing, the farmer that has gone into broiler pro- duction has not made a success of it. That is one branch of poultry raising that seems to belong to the specialist. The raising of birds for the broiler market requires a very different set of efforts than aoes the production of farm fowls generally. In the first place the broiler raiser must do his hatching in the Fall, and, of course, for this work must have incubators and brooders. Then comes the ques- tion of an egg supply, which can sel- dom be answered satisfactorily with- out the farmer building up a flock of hens that will produce him an abun- dance of eggs in the late Fall and ear- ly Winter. Our specialists have found it ad- visable to build brooder houses that tan be heated by steam. We know of one such recently build which cost $700. Whether it will pay an interest on the investment we do not know, and neither does the builder. There are few farmers that care to go 80 deeply as this into the poultry busi- ness. Then the market for broilers is confined to the cities and to a few families and hotels in each. The broil- ers have to be handled a certain way and be marketed through certain chap- nels if the profits are to be preserved for the raiser. The farmer seldom knows the ins and outs of the city markets well enough to sell broilers to advantage. In the raising of broilers great skill is necessary, and the man that is put- ting most of his time on other farm work is little likely to take time to become skillful with his poultry. This is the cause of numerous failures with raising broilers on farms. This has led to the centralizing of the broiler business in the hands of comparative- ly tew persons hving near the larger cities, and these have become spe- cialists. If a farmer wishes to under- take the business of broiler raising, it would by all means be.best for him to make a special investigation in person. Let him nrst go to the markets in the great cities and learn all there is to jearn about prices, time of market and requirements and exactions of the ul- umate customers. Then it would pay him to visit some of the farms on which broilers are being raised, and if he can find some farms that are rais- ing broilers and producing other crops al the same time he should visit them, determinea to get both sides of the story. ‘There is ‘only one way for a novice to begin the broiler business and that is on a small scale. If he depends on the experience of others and goes in on a large scaie the chances are that he will lose all he puts into the enterprise. There is money in the broiler business, but it takes exper- ience and skill to get it out. Call Ducks. There are two varieties of Call ducks the gray and the white. Both variet- ies are bantams and are bred more for orhament than for profit. The gray Call duck is sometimes ‘called —s = WHITE CALL DUCKS. the Bantam Rouen, and the White Call duck the Bantam Pekin. The two va- rieties differ only in plumage. They are good for pets, and are also used as decoy ducks by duck ‘shooters. They are not infrequently crossed with the Mallard duck to make them The re- sult of such crossing are ducks that are both tame and domestic. One of the greatest drawbacks to turkey raising is the loss of young turkeys, due to wet weather. The convenience of buildings has muth to do with the success of under- takings in poultry raising. Too much work reduces the profit. The house- wife usually has the work of caring for the fowls on her hands, and where is the woman that does not have all she can do in her own house, to say nothing of out of doors work. Since she must do this work, it should be made'as easy as possible for her. La- bor saving inventions here as on oth- er parts of the farm should not be neg- lected. The higher the price of turkeys the more likely are they to “disappear,” if they are permitted to wander off the farm. It is cheaper to grow good shade trees from seed in a nursery, under the proper conditions, than to hunt and pull them in the woods.

Elaborate, Indeed, are the plans for the proposed new Manhattan bridge, with its towers, each made up of four steel columns, the columns to be bound together by cantilever devices. On the tops of the anchorages, at a height of 125 feet or thereabouts, will be Courts 125 feet by 175 feet in area, ich will undoubtedly became highly popular resorts, as will also be the two balconiés to be built on the level of the footwalk and upon the edge of the bridge, for resting places for pe- destrians. This bridge will be double- decked and extremely massive, as well as stately in appearance. A suggestion has been made that the towers and cables should be out- lined with electric lights. The Brook- lyn bridge is an object of glittering peauty at night, although its cables and towers are not illumined.

Kushequa, Pa., Aug. 1.—(Special)— In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kid- ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure cure, and that is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: “I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills the result would be considered won- derful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushe- qua is fast arriving at a verdict that “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism.” A Habit With Her. “There goes Mrs. Giddeigh,” re- marks the woman in the Wicker rock- er on the porch of the summer hotel. “One hears all sorts of things about her.
