Mrs, Sarah Marine, of 428 St. Urain street, Colorado Springs, Colo., Presi- dent of the Glen Eyrie Club, writes: “I suffered for three years with severe back- ache. The doc- tors told me my kidneys were af- fected and pre- Wicines for me, but I found that it was only a waste of time and money to take them, and began to tear that I would never get well. A friend advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. Within a week after I began using them I was so much better that I de- cided to keep up the treatment, and when I had used a little over two boxes I was entirely well. I have now enjoyed the best of health for more than four months, and words can but poorly express my gratitude.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

We doubt if any medicine will then cure, although hundreds have been cured by the “‘Discovery”’ after their attending physicians, had pronounced their cases to be regular tubercular consumption. The fact is that the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’’ does cure severe throat and bronchial affections, lingering coughs, and those obstinate, wasting, ‘‘run- down”’ conditions which, if neglected or improperly treated. terminate in genuine consumption. We know that thousands of men and ‘women although in the advanced st of feebleness and emaciation—palid, wasted and broken-down with all the terrible symptoms of hacking coughs, night - sweats, hectic fever, absolute rostration, and even Bleeding | from Jungs—have been restored by the use of this marvelous mediciné to per- manent health, strength and vitality.

Attention is called to the fact that the experiment station has recently found at different points in the state feeding stuffs grossly adulterated with rice hulls. Rice hulls contain 40 per cent of woody fiber and from 15 to 20 per cent silica or sand. Worse than this, the edges of the hulls carry sharp barks which irritate the stomach ané intestines of the animals, and when fed in quantity the hulls may kill the animals to which they are fed. Rice hulls are, therefore, not only worth- less, but even dangerous to the lives of horses and cattle. No feed dealer who values his reputation will under any circumstances handle rice hulls So far rice hulls have only been found in feeds sold as rice brain, rice mid- dlings or rice mixed feed, but they may also find their way into other mixed feeds, an@ dealers should there- fore be Op their guard. In buying rice feeds or mixed feeds dealers are urged to demand a written guarantee from the wholesaler or jobber to the effect that the feeds are not adulterated with rice hulls. If they have any feed- ing stuffs on hand which they suspect may contain rice hulls, we ask them to send a sample to the Experiment Station for examination. If this warn- ing is properly heeded, we will soon drive this dangerous fraud from our state. F. W. Woll, :, In Charge of Feed Inspection. Madison, Wis. se ¢€ In line with the above, the Farmers’ Review has received a communication from Mr. Louis T. Jamme, secretary of the National. Millers’ Federation, in which he says: “The Millers’ National Federation is making a vigorous campaign against the unlawful adulteration of mill prod- ucts, principally bran. A reward has been offered by us@f $100 for informa- tion leading to the detection and con- viction of parties guilty of violating state or federal laws in this respect. “The use of adulterants of low pro- tein and high crude fiber content is not only an evidence of bad business judgment on part of milling concerns, but the sale of such feeds is: directly opposed to the best interests of farm- ers and feeders, and their interests as well as those of the miller putting out an honest article should receive the protection of the state authorities, as well as those identified with the miller and the agriculturist. “The Millers’ National Federation will gladly co-operate with any move- ment towards maintaining the stan- dard of mill feeds, and the sale of same at prices relatively equitable alike to the purchaser and con- sumer,”—Farmers’ Review. Horse Flesh Is Cheap. On a good many farms too few horses are képt. We never realized this till about five years ago, when we increased the number of our horses fifty per cent. Horse power is a cheap power for most kinds of work, though of course the horse cannot take the place of a stationary power like an engine or windmill. But in the work of the farm where locomotion is re- quired, horse flesh is far cheaper than human flesh, both to buy in the first place and to keep up afterwards. We found on our farm that a little extra force in the way of horsefiesh helped wonderfully in a hundred ways. We could haul ‘bigger loads of pro- duce to market with the same expense of human energy. We could plow faster and more steadily and the plow- man could ride instead of walk. When circumstances made it necessary to send a wagon to town while the plow- ing or other work was going on we had the horses with which to make the extra trip, and, as the women drove the team to town, there was no interference with the work on the farm. Before we obtained the extra supply of horses we sometimes had to put off going to the neighboring town for days at a time, though such trips would sometimes have been very advantageous to us. There are few times of year when horses cannot be used on the farm, and it is far easier to work with fresh horses than with tired ones. Horseflesh is cheap and the man will show himself wise that recognizes that fact. Campbell Co., Ky. Henry Edison. The Breeding Mare. A Canadian horse breeder says: In selecting the mare: for breeding pur- poses, you should get one well-ribbed and wide, with length, depth, ample heart room and a good constitution. The foals often take after their dams in constitution and stamina; there- fore it is highly necessary to select mares possessing these qualifications. The head and neck should be set on good sloping shoulders, ‘the quarters big and muscular and, above all, good legs and feet. The feet should be of good size, sound, open ones, not abnormally large, but hollow below, Iam sure Piso's Cure for Consumption saved | with strong heels, and thick, tough my life three years ago.—Mns.

Temperature for Churning. In most of our farms the matter of temperature of cream at the churning time and of the room in which the churning is done receives little or no attention. In summer the butter comes quickly and the churner thinks it is because the cows are on pasture; in winter the butter comes slowly and! the churner thinks that this is due to} the dry feed. In most cases the tem- perature is the great factor in regu- lating the time of churning. With the temperature of the cream and of} the room at 80 degrees the butter is quickly churned. But it is impossible to make good butter at a temperature of 80 degrees; at that temperature a great deal of casein is incorporated) with the butter and an unusual) emount of water. Sixty degrees is a good temperature at which to churn. The churning between 60 and 65 de- grees has been ‘popular for many years, but it is only recently that but- termakers have adopted the plan of churning at 50 degrees and under. This can be done only with heavy cream, that is, a cream containing a very large per cent of butter fat. It is not supposed that thin cream cap be churned at all at, this low tem: perature. The best flavored butter and the butter that has taken first premiums at our leading expositions, has been made at a very low tempera: ture. As a general principle it may be} assumed that the richer the cream} the lower the temperature at which the churning may be done. Tying the Kicking Cow. I have tried many ways of tying a kicking cow, and most of them have proved failures. One way, however, that was told me by an old farmer has proved en tirely satisfactory, and I. give it ta readers of the Farmers’ Review. Take a rope and make a noose in one end, The rope should be an inch in thick ness and should be about five feet long. When starting to milk pass the rope around the cow’s legs, crossing} it between the legs and runhing the long end through the loop. The loose end should lie over the lap of the milker. The two loops, one around each leg, should be above the joints in the legs. When the cow tries to kick she will be able to push her! leg forward but a short distance and will not be able to upset the milk pail or disturb the milker. I milked one kicking cow for several years, and always had her tied this way. The) rope will slip a little, but not enough) to allow the cow to do any damage. I:-is of no use to attempt to tie a cow further down on her legs, as she will then get excited and throw herself. She does not seem to mind the arrangement I describe above. Charles Bufort. Becker Co., Minn. Finished Lumber for Coops. The use of finished lumber far coops is to be commended. It is a mistake to use old half rotten boards for the construction of such coops, even though they may be used for but one season. The mites will find the numerous cracks great harboring places, and the rats will be able te gnaw through them if they have occa: sion to do so. The painting of such coops is a discouraging job, while the painting of the smooth lumber is a pleasant pastime. When properly painted well-made coops may be kept for years. They can be made'so that they can be easily taken to pieces when the time comes to put them away for the winter. The Hen and the Garden. It is a saying that it is of no use to try to have a garden and keep hens at the same time. Any farmer that has watched the matter knows|’ better. The saying doubtless arose among the townspeople whose keenest disappointments came from the little garden patch being raided by a neigh- bor’s hens. As a matter of fact the hens need be kept out of the garden only at planting time and during the ‘short time when the vegetables are still so small as to be easily destroyed. When good size has been attained by the plants and vegetables the hens are a help to the garden by keeping down the bugs and worms. -—— { Egg Laying Capacity of Fowls. It is a mistake under which we were all laboring to assume that hens ywere largely alike in their capacity for the production of eggs. At the Maine station experiments have been carried on for a good many years, looking to the finding out of the rela- tive capacity of layers of the Plymouth Rock breed. A hen of that breed laid 281 eggs in a year, another 260, and several went over the 240 mark. Quite a flock of hens was got together each one of which laid in excess of 200 eggs. One hen that would have been a@ prize winner at any show did not lay an egg during’ the entire time she \was owned by the station. Wonderful Varieties of Fruits. Occasionally a man comes along with a variety of fruit to sell the farm- er which he claims to be new and won- derful and that the like of which has never before been seen on the Ameri- can farm. Let it alone. Wher such unusual things are claimed for it, one may be sure that the variety will come far short of fulfilling expecta- tions, MEASURES UP TO THE STANDARD |Any Catarrh Remedy That Has Been Endorsed by so Many Trustworthy and Prominent People.” Conviction Follows Trial When buying loose coffee or anything your grocer happens to have in his bin, how do you know what you are getting ? Some queer stories about coffee that is sold in bulk, could be told, if the people who handle it (grocers), cared to speak out. Could any amount of mere housekeepers to use talk have persuaded millions of Lion Coffee, the leader of all package coffees for over a quarter of a century, if they had not found it superior to all other brands in Purity, Strength, Flavor and Uniformity ? This popular success of LION COFFEE can be due only to inherent merit. There is no stronger proof of merit than con- tinued and increasing popularity. If the verdict of MILLIONS OF HOUSEKEEPERS does not convince you of the merits of LION COFFEE, it costs you but a trifle to buy a° package.
