IMPROVED BLOOD.
Why the Farmers of Our Day Can Not Al
ford to Raise Scrub Stock.

Why the Farmers of Our Day Can Not Az
ford to Raise Scrub Stock.
The value of an animal in the veins
OF which improved blood predominates
is certainty. Some owners are igno-
rant of. this superior worth, but the
fact remains the same. The horse in
whose composition is at least one
half standard or registered blood, as a
rule, has either better speed or weight
as the lines are determined better
disposition and intelligence, as well as
other important qualities. It follows,
OF course, that such horse has supe-
.rior money value. From $25 to $500
measures the increased~value OF a
good four-year-old grade colt. As the
breeding season opens. an owner
should not let $40 to SIS extra in a
service defeat his chances for full
portion OF the profitin growing horses.
Such a thing is possible as spending
but half enough in such cases. with
the result that the venture is loss
instead of a gain. This is illustrated
in the case of producing $50 scrub
horse when one worth 5000
might have BEEN secured by
"a little more outlay at
the start. Cattle improved are always
enough more valuable to recompense
for the pains taken to secure higher
merit. The COW with increased record
for milk and butter is the product OF
intelligent action, and leads the novice
to wonder why he has been so long in
getting proper estimate of the ques-
ton OF Improvement. When the
greater worth Of feeding steer is
considered in the fact that a three
fourths grade can be brought to 400
pounds atstwentysfour months to thirty
months of age, easily, on two-thirds the
feed required tomake the same weight
with common steersAthe latter a year
older also-such a result alone makes
the growing OF such cattle desirable in
a business sense. Add to the above
truth the further quality of enhanced
value of the meat in the market,
amounting, at present prices, on an
average. to about one dollar per
hundred pounds, and no man. in
GLIDING the one who borrows money
to buy common feeding steers, has ex-
cuse for not investing now in an i'm
proved sire and some good grade fe-
males. --Orange Judd Farmer.

PEANUTS FOR INSOMNIA.

Bishop Lyman Says That a Half-PInt Dose
Daily Effects Cure.
DIR. Theodore B. Lyman, Episcopal
Bishop OF North Carolina, has written
the following letter to the Raleigh
Daily News and Courier:
Il think have made very valu-
able discovery, and am anxious that
others should also enjoy the benefit of
it. For nearly two years have been
suffering greatly from sleeplessness at
night / have tried great number OF
proposed remedies, some OF which
have helped me little, but not for
any length Of time A little more than
fortnight ago, while staying 1.-THE
house of friend in the country, my
good hostess brought into the parlor,
quite late in the evening. a bountiful
supply of peanuts, As am very fond
of them, when they are not toe much
cooked. ate quite freely Of them, and
soon after retired to bed. found the
next morning that had enjoyed the
best sleep had experienced for over q
month. / attributed this at once to
the peanuts, and determined to try
them again the following evening.
did SO. and also drank glass Of fresh,
sweet milk after ! had FINISHED the
peanuts. That night / slept still
better, and now, for fortnight, /
have partaken OF the peanuts and milk
every night. and have. not only slept
remarkably we'll. but have also fully
recovered from slight attack OF in
digestion which had troubled me be-
fore. ! now find that peanuts, care
fully roasted and not overdone, so as
TO be at all burnt, are surely a remedy
for sleeplessness and also for that form
kpf indigestion which produces sleep
lessness. AZ
There is popular impression that
peanuts are indigestible. but have
never found them so unless they were
too much roasted or had been roasted
many days before. When too much
cooked orswhen stale they certainly
are indigestible, but when carefully
roasted and fresh they promote di-
gestion. They should be eaten shortly
before going to bed. and not more than
half pint should be taken. They
should be roasted before they are
shelled. and shelled only as they are
eaten. "A half pint Of shelled nuts
would be too many. Icommend this
remedy with great confidence to those
who are afflicted with insomnia, par
ticularly if indigestion is in part the
cause of it. The peanut is very val
liable article OF food when carefully
roasted and partaken ofin moderation.
II hope none Of my readers will imagine
that have started a peanut farm, and
am wishing to ereate7a boom In that
article, but shall berejoiced II what
s have written should be the means OF
bestowing on any others the great
benefit which 1 have derived from this
simple agency"

The Fort Worth Elks, to Keep Up the Lick, Do

At every point YESTERDAY the Fort
Worth club out-played the aggregation
of alleged ball players from Dallas.
They had fewer errors, more hits ana
harder ones, and more stolen bases. Five
Fort Worth players were sent to first
on balls, while Long George Mallory had
such perfect control of the pigskin that
not Dallas man got four bad ones. In
fact, it was the XII dee's day. He had
great speed and fine curves, and worked
the best batsmen of the visiting club so
that they struck out, or else raised little
flies that the ffelders easily cared for.
Only three scattering singles were made
off his delivery.
, At the bat the home team
did great work, Crogan lead
ing With two singles and
double and Fogarty coming next with
one single and double. In base run
ming Hill led with three, Crogan,
Hutchinson, Bader and Jordan having
tgo each.
Hutchinson, the new short stop, did
good work both with the stick and in the
field. He had only one clean hit to his
credit, but long sacrificed fly in the
first inning, with two men on bases,
served to bring in the first two runs.
Two errors appear against him in
the fielding record, but he
covered great deal of territory and. his
work throughout was satisfactory. He
is a good addition to the team
