Lassifude and Debility.

The relaxation Of nervous energy which creates
an indisposition to physical or mental effort, so
strong as almost to amount to positive inability,
and which we term lassituds, proceeds from q va
riety of causes. The principal of these consti-
tutional debility heat Of the atmosphere, coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the physical
prostration consequent upon a long illness. But
whatever the cause it must be perfectly clear that
If the nervous system is unduly relaxed, something
is required to brace 1t up. That something is Hos
letters Bitters, which is universally recognized
the most complete and speedy recuperant Of the
physical forces in existence. 1t has been so thor
oughly and widely demonstrated as to be q matter
OF positive certainty and familiar knowledge, that
the Bitters will not only rshabilitate the physique,
when shattered and wasted by disease, hut will,
also if taken systematically, actually compensate
the consttutionaly feeble frame for its deficiency
OF strength, and by infusing new life into q weak
system, endow it with the health and vigor which
Nature has denied it. The Bitters also enable the
body to resist the enervating influences Of heat,
humidity, and changes from temperate to a hot
climate 1t is, on these accounts, specially TO
recommended to travellers and residents in the
torrid zone and persons subjected to abrupt tran
sitions of temperature.

Our Fireside Friend. &.

The new weekly illustrated literary and
family paper recently started in Chicago is,
we are gratified to know, meeting with great
favor and extraordinary success. The pub
fishers, Messrs. Waters, Ebert & Co., evil
IDENTIFY understand the conditions upon
which success in such an enterprise depends,
and these are not wanting. The paper is al
ready established. Its fine illustrations,
artistic appearance, attractive makeup, to-
gether with the variety and excellence of its
coutents, at once recommend it to popular
favor. We are assured that the substantial
aid and encouragement already given to the
enterprise guarantee its success in every
particular. There is no good reason to doubt
the success of such an enterprise in the
West. A first-class paper, business capacity
and experience, ample capital, energy and
pluck, are all that is necessary; these thii
new and popular weekly already possess
We predict for it a brilliant and prosperou
career.-IbStdl Record.

Workshop for Boys.

WE have done a good deal of talking
to persuade farmers TO provide conven-
lent room for a workshop so that boys
who show signs of mechanical skill may
have opportunity to develop the same.
Our correspondent, J. w. Lang, says of
this, in the Mirror and Farmer, that aa
important advantage ip repairing imple-
ments of husbandry and making your
own utensils at home, so far as allowable,
is to learn boys to handle tools and get
ideas that, united with practical knowl-
edge, are of great use. Genius is de.
veloped, talent applied and time occupied
that would on rainy days and leisure
hours be, perhaps, devoted to something
useless, or worse perhaps, if not thus use
fully occupied.
Boys love to try their hand at "making
things" and many conveniences as well
as necessities will grow under their in
dustry if provided with tools and en-.
couraged in their use. Many skillful
mechanic dates his earliest inspiration to
leisure days in boyhood upon the farm
when he fashioned to use or pleasure some
image of his Imagination with nipple
ments kept to make repairs in the shop oil
by the fireside-6hi0 Farmer.

Chicago Euterprfse.

No stronger evidence of the wonderful en-
ergy of the age, can be produced than is now
exhibited in the rebuilding Of Chicago.
Scarcely five months have elapsed since one
of the greatest calamities ever known leveled
this proud city, consuming over two hundred
millions of property. Quite city has al
ready arisen in the ruins, and the buildings
are OF a better class than before. During q
recent visit to Chicago, we noticed among
other fine buildings erected, the mammoth
brick warehouse OF the great dry goods firm
of FIELD, LETTER & Co, corner Madison and
Market streets, covering almost the entire
block, being 20lx190 feet ian area more than
double their former quarters), six floors,
filled from basement to roof; nearly five
acres and half Of dry goods, gathered by
their own foreign and home buyers, from all
parts of the world. This is but one of the
many great distributing depots, which have
arisen from the ashes, because the Great
West needs them. This firm, and their com
petitors, recognize the fact, that prosperou:
business means bensft to the buyer as well n:
the seller, and through their wide-awak,
| policy, IOp prices are brought one Thousand
miles nearer to their doors. The Great Wes
has given Chicago her prominence, becaus'
every country village and city has "takeI
stock in her," and extend their encourage
ment and patronage to her; in a few year
she will be rebuilt more elegant and substan
| tial than before,

Cut Food for Sheep.

The editor of the National Lire Stock
Journal has been making some experiments
in relation to cut food for sheep, and
says:
Some sheep farmers have discouraged
cutting fodder for sheep, asserting that
the teeth of these animals are equal to a
Burr -millstone, and that they will eat and
grind it as well without cutting. But we
know these to be quite random assertions,
ignoring the commonest facts and habits
of sheep. 1t is well-known that the sheep,
of all our domestic animals, most relish
fine fodder. Sheep take infinite pains to
select the finest parts of the grasses-the
heads, leaves and fine branches of.clover,
leaving the main stalk in their racks un-
touched while cattle and horses will eat
all alike, if of good quality.
We remember that a noted farmer in
Central New York made strong state
ment at the State Fair in 1864, about cut
observed that they did not eat it'as well of
ter as before cutting. This led us to ex-
pertinent to test the correctness of his
statement. We took fifty pounds of
early cut and nicely cured timothy hay,
and fed it to sixty thrifty common sized
medium wooled sheep, in clean racks.
After giving them longer than the usual
time to eat it, we found twelve pounds of
fragments left. The next day fifty
pounds of the same hay, cut short, was
fed to them, and after same length of
time for eating, gathered up everything
in the racks, found only two pounds. and
this composed of the longest bits of hay.
We made also a comparative expert.
ment with clover hay, corn stalks and
straw, and found the saving as great in
proportion. In the case of corn stalks,
they would eat nearly all of them after
cutting one-eighth of an inch long, the
butts being cut into thin shavings, the
tough hard rind broken into shreds;
while in the uncut state, they would only
eat the leaves, tassels and fine parts, leav.
ing the stalks almost entire. We tried
with cut feed of various length, and
found that the shorter it was cut the
cleaner they would eat it. Invariably the
longest straws were left. Sheep waste
more feed than any other of our domes
/ tic animals, and we found, practically
that no other animal is benefited so much
by cutting its fodder as the sheep. The
principal saving in cutting is that it is al
eaten, and therefore the animal appear:
to eat less. 1t is an excellent plan tC
mix hay and straw together after cutting
or they may mixed before cutting. Ii
this way sheep will eat nerly all the straw
and keep in good condition.
BY cutting, food of different qualitie
may be mixed together and thus save all

have found to keep sheep and other stocl

der for all our animals for many year
and know that it pays, but for no anims
does it pay as well as for sheep.

So we go on the cheap principle in build

bodily comfort, sacrificing aesthetic con-
siderations to utility. 1t is vain, there

The Northern Pacific Railroad and
the Snow Question.

Mr.. W. Minor Roberts, the distin-
guished Chief Engineer of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, has made a statement
regarding the snow problem on the North
ern route, which has special interest just
now. Mr.. Roberts spent the winter of
1901 along the western section OF the
Northern Pacific line in Oregon and
Washington Territory the early part of the
present winter in Western Montana, near
the highest elevation of the route, and
has since been on the eastern portion of
the road, through Minnesota. Besides
this personal inspection he has been in
constant communication with surveying
and construction parties, and with Gov
ernment officials on the various parts OF
the line. His statement, which was made
in answer to certain definite questions, is
as follows.
