Value of Blood.

2. F., Madison, county, y. Y: "Can
] afford to pay $50 for a Sbort-horn ball

$50. All good dairymen are now learn
ing the policy of raising their own COWS.

YOU raise ten heifer calves or the dairy.
The milking strain of Short-horn blood
has proved itself excellent, both for
quantity and quality of milk. II also

blood Short-hOTns that give 1000 to
8 900 pounds of milk, and 500 pounds
of butter per year. It is quite safe to
say that yOur hsifers, at one year old,
would be worth SO per head more thsn
common ones this, therefore, Would
pay ron 800 extra the first year on the
heifer account, and If you should raise
as many steers, they would be worth as
much extra. A dairyman certainly
makes a bad mistake TO use common
bulls when he IS raising heifers for the
dairy or steers for the butcher He had
better pay double the sum that T. men

Important TO InValIds.-Dr. Libbey's
next visit to Fremont will bo at the Ball
House, Saturday, April 18th. The doctor has
devoted quarter Of century practicing
medicine for the cure of old lingering COM
plants. He has treated in the past twenty
Eve years upwards OF thirty-two thousand
cases. This immense experience gives him
better facilities to judge correctly as TO the
durability of ali such cases. Thousands owe
their lives TO his treatment, and thousands of
others are envious to avail themselves Of his
wonderful skill and experience. It is not
strange that be should meet with opposition
from ths facuIty-none Of it has done him
material harm, but sends him hundreds Of pa
tients. Why he should be opposed seems a
little strange when he does not interfere with
their practice Of acute diseases, but confines
himself to cases Of long standing and chronic,
and prefers those cases given up by other ply
sicians. Those wishing to see hundreds of
testimonials in favor Of his treatment can do
60 by calling at his rooms at the Ball House
any day that he is in Fremont, where crowds
of anxious invalids await his coming. His
days are every second Saturday. He uses ma
lures remedies and never charges for consul
tation. 1916

roosters from ten to thirteen pounds. Also
the famous Hudsons, beautiful in feathers and
characterized for their exceedingly large eggs;
the valuable white Leghorns. noted for their
fecundity, the golden and spangled Ham
burg, and other rare birds. The collection
are well worthy Of inspection and we feel as
sured Mr.. T. will experience little trouble in
securing customers for eggs. We have long
advocated that our farmers breed and keep a
finer class Of birds and again strongly recon-
mend them. "Here are your birds and now
is your time" if you would secure first-class
and profitable stock.

Mary Secor was murdered in Mercer coun.

bed, to a Catholic priest, that be had commit

Denver City Nees, to learn the facts and Mr.
Harrington has replied that no such man had

priests, or that any body there knew anything
Of any such person. So the story IS proven
fraud.
A mysterious affair was explained at Nedl-
na, recently. The engineer Of freight train,
coming up to that town, had discovered two
men digging a grave near the railroad track.
It was dark, and the deed was SO silently done
and Eithal had so guilty lock, that he sus-
pected murder. When he got to Medina he
raised courage to visit tho spot, stuck pole
down through the looss earth until it struck
box, and then he felt certain. But he had to

Grafton be told his story and word was sent
back to Medina. The proper officers were sp-
prizcd and proceeded 10 the spot, although the
night was dark. prepared to solve the CUES
ton. There was the grave, sure enough, and
a discrimination to unravel the matter result
ed in several sbovels being placed in active
hands. The earth was thrown out, disa-
greeable odor began to manifest itself, which
grew more intense as they approached the
buried object. When they had uncovered
