A Scrap Of Paper Saves Her

1t was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, bat il saved her
life. She was in the last stages of
consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurable and could
only live a short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On a
piece OF wrapping paper she read
of DIR. Kings New Discovery, and
got a sample bottle; 1t helped
her, she bought a large bottle, it
helped her more, bought another

Care of Sheep and Lambs.

During August and September
the summer pastures will pc get
ting short and brown, and sheep
should be allowed a short run dal-
~ on meadow ground, where the
grass Is green and succulent. 1t
is best that the sheep range consist
of both upland and lOwland, 30
that tht animals may change their
grazing at will. They should by
all means have spot OF high, dry
ground to rest on at night. An
old open clubhouse, or shed, af'
fords a good place for the sheep
at night and in rainy, damp weather.
Have a trough or box containing
salt, where the sheep can lick at
will. They need salt at this season.
To keep off the fly from deposit
its maggOts in the nose of the sheep,
smear the tips of the noses with
mixture of tar and grease.
Lambs that are weakly and sickly,
or that have the sconrs, should be
attended to without delay. Remove
the sickly ones to a good pasture
where there is some shade, but not
too much, and where there Is shell.

dark room will be a great blessing

Lambs that had the scours,
should have the filth from the re.
giOn of the tail washed off, and the
lamb permitted 10 drink only water
with lime in it. Castor oil and
spirits of turpentine should be
given them IN meal mush, and II

The cool, dark room will do much

FARM and HOUSEHOLD
FAILURE IN DAIRYING.


Whatever may be written 10 favor
Of preventing failure in dairylng,
the greatest u is sta K e
made by dairymen is that of buying
their fresh cows instead Of raising
them on the farm. The dalryman
does not wait as patiently for the
calf to grow as he does for his crops
TO mature, and when choice COW
becomes dry she is sent to the
shambles, and a new one, fresh,
With a calf by her side, is procured
as a substitute. The yearly intro
duction of COWS into the herd from
other localities has brought disease
also, although each animal may
have been apparently in excellent
health when purchased. 1t is safe
TO assert that no dalryman has
ever been cursed with that scOurge
-abortion-in his herd if he has
not brought cows from other points.
Where tue cows have been raised
on the farm they have been bred
from selected stock, not only for
weld OF milk and bututr, but also
for hardness aud freedom from
disease, bat when a COW is brought
from another point to be added 10
to the herd the only quality reQulr-
ed is that she is fresh, and recently
calved. IL is well known that the
most expert dairyman will fail IN
his judgement OF the milk and but
ter qualities of a COW until he has
tested her at the pail, and there is
always more or less risk OF procur-
ing a very undesirable animal.
1t requires two or three years to
procure a fresh COW by breeding
for her on the farm, which prompts
the dairyman to buy his COWS, but
that it is more economical to raise
them Is easily demonstrated, PROV.
ded the stock is graded up TO a
higher standard of excellence by
the use of thoroughbred males. The
creates loss of time is during the
period of growth, but after the
heifer comes in she will in a short
time, not only give quantity OF
milk and butter equal TO the animal
that preceded her, but will REIN
burse the dairyman for the time
lost before she became remuner-
alive.
l. it is not so much a matter oil
feeding, although feeding IL impor-
tant. as it is 20 secure the largest
Weld possible, for in dairying an
extra quart per day may turn a
loss INTO profit. When the thrllt
OF the flock is also considered the
home bred COWS are always IN the
majority.
As long as cows are purchased
Instead of being bred no improve
ment Is possible. 1t is a good aT'
erage if every COW in a herd will
Weld seven quarts of milk for ev-
cry day in the year, and this aver.
age is greatly lessened where COWS
are annually purchased to replace
those that dry of, but the records
Of some>of the noted COWS of the
pure breeds show that it is impos-
sible to obtain over forty quarts OF
milk per day, while one COW is said
10 have produced nearly seven
pounds Of butter per day for one
week. These facts demonstrate
that if the dalryman will grade up
bis COWS their yield Of milk may
be greatly increased, aud that

periemce with Insomnia.

New YORK, August 4.-John @. Col
Inns, who formerly resided in Cincinnati,
but whose home is now in Kansas
City and who recently arrived in this
city, has not enjoyed nights rest in
seventeen years.
Such statement may seem improba.
BILE, but it is a simple fact, and the life OF
this sufferer from insomnia has been
such that he would welcome death as q
relief. His nearest approach to sleep is
semi-unconscious state, in which be
does not lose the sense of his surround
ings.
Mr.. Collins does not present the ap'
pearance of an invalid. His frame if
large and we'll made, with solid flesh
and he has forid complexion. His
eyes do not betray the lack of sleep they
have so long endured, though the lids
are constantly dropping as when person
feels drowsy. He is religious in feeling
and says that the only thing which viii
produce temporary relief is the repeating
of the Lords prayer.
For two and one-half years he has beer
unable to work at anything. His farm
and stock gave him support for severa
years, but reverses in loss of crops ant
cattle, and the treachery of friends
despoiled him of all property excep
some in Kansas City.-[Cincinnati En-
