A Road To Fame.

The Walker, Iowa, NeUs, saya:
sour old friend, Robert Baird, of Mus
catine, Iowa, has been secretary of the
state senate, and an active politician
for years. but was never generally
known until he had the collie, and used
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy, and got into one of their
advertisements. Now he is famous.
Here is what Mr.. Baird said: "While
in Des Moines 1 was taken with Sc
we're attack of bowel complaint. For
two days suffered intensely, trying
several drug stores and paying them
for relief, but in vain finally bought
a small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. and
two doses of that brought me out all
right. 1t costs less than the drug store
preparations and I have the balance
for future use. l consider grand

THE FARM LEDGER.

How It Can be Made Of Great and Con.
stantly Increaslng Value.
In addition to the ledger in which
the farmer keeps record Of his finan-
cial affairs, he can profitably keep an
other. This book should form sort
of condensed and classified statement
of matters pertaining to the crops
which are grown and the animals
which are kept on the farm.
Take the rye crop as an illustration
of the method of keeping such book.
The word "Rye" should be written
at the head OF one of the pages. 1t
should also be entered in the index,
together with the number of the page
selected. On this page enter, in the
briefest possible manner, the leading
facts concerning the rye crop during
the current year. Among these items
should be the area of land; date of
plowing; fertilizers used, if any, and
when applied; date of sowing; quantity
of seed per acre; date Of harvesting;
time of threshing, and the yield of
grain and straw. If rye is largely
grown several consecutive pages should
be reserved for this crop.
Each of the farm crops should have
one or more pages. and the records
should be kept in the manner above
described. The livestock department
should be also fully represented. With
little extra labor the scope of the
work can be enlarged and made to in
clude many other matters of interest,
such as the dates of early and late
frosts, severe droughts, heavy rains,
deep SHOWS, violent winds, and other
unusual occurrences.
But little time or labor will be re-
quired to make the proper entries.
For the purpose indicated a ledger is
far superior to diary or journal.
as in the former the facts are arranged
under their appropriate heads and re-
lated ones are grouped together and
can be seen at glance, while in either
of the latter these facts are noted on
many different pages. and those of
different years appear in different vol
umes. In the one case the facts can
be quickly and easily found. In the
other long and weary search may be
required to obtain them. A ledger
large enough for records of an ordi-
nary farm for several years can be
bought for from fifty cents to a dollar.
If properly kept it will place many
facts at the instant service
of its owner, and as the records
of successive years are added, will be-
come of great and constantly increas-
ing value.-N. Y. Examiner.

a Letter from Poet WnIrtIef.

The poet Whittier is again reported
as having caused all his letters to be
burned to prevent posthumous publi-
cation. By permission writer in
the Boston Journal prints the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Whittier, bearing
upon this rumor:
"Oal Knoll. Danvers-Dear Friend: The re-
port concerning the burning Of my letters is
only true as far rs this: Some years ago 1 de-
stroyed large collection of letters had re-
ceived, not from any regard to my own reputa-
ton, but from the fear that to leave them liable
to publicity might be injurious or unpleasant to
the writers or their friends. They covered
much of the anti-slavery period and the war Of
the rebellion, and many Of them know were
strictly private and confidential. 1 was not
able at the time to look over the manuscript,
and thought it safest to make bonfire Of it all.
1 have always regarded a private and confden-
tal letter sacred and its publicity in any shape
a shameful breach Of trust, unless authorized
by the writer. 1 only wish my own letters to
thousands Of correspondents may be as care
fully disposed OF.
You may use this letter as you may think
wise and best. Very truly thy friend,

electro plates. wnIcn can DC uisur,D-
uted and used in the monographs Of
subscribers.
The latest development of talking
machines is the gramophone, which
differs materially from the photograph
and the graphophone. 1t is the inven-
tion of Emile Berliner, who recently
gave private exhibition of it's pow
ers in this city. In this machine ro-
tary motion is given to thin disk OF
metal, eleven inches in diameter, COW
cred with very delicate etching
ground, on which stylus presses
lightly and traces the waves of speech,
or other sounds, that enter the mouth
piece. The plate is then put into an
acid bath, and in few minutes the re-
cord is etched into the metal and will
last as long as the plate. For COM
mercial purposes medium of sealing
wax can be used, upon which treat
ment with alcohol fixes the record in
fifteen seconds.
At the exhibition here reproduced
playing of German band filed the
room. Mr.. Berliner said that at an
exhibition given in Washington it was
distinctly heard ty five hundred per-
sons. The accuracy of pitch was some
what unpleasantly evident. 1t must
have been toward the end of the day
when the strains of the German
band foated into the mouthpiece,
and the leader was probably weary,
for his tone was undeniably fiat and
spasmodic. But the fidelity of the re-
production was beyond question. and
all the shakes and gradations of tone
were distinctly given. Marching
Through Georgia. was rendered with
fine effect. A test was made by Mr..
Berliner to show the accuracy of re-
produced language, and the history Of
Humpty Dumpty's great final catas-
trophe was Immediately heard and
recognized word for word.
The striking characteristic of the in
strument is power. In some cases,
however, there was slightly burning
sound. When Mr.. Berliner's attention
was called to this, he explained that
this was the fault of the medium. De-
tachinS the stylus from the instrument.
he drew it over the back Of the metal
record disk. The sound lacked dis
tinctness. He then passed the stylus
over the window pane, and the differ
ence was striking; the sound was now
clean cut, soft and almost musical.
81 shall soon have a plate Of vitre-
Gus MATERIAL" he said, land then my
machine will be perfect"
Though the gramophone is intended
for commercial use, its immediate mis-
sion, Mr.. Berliner thinks, is to pro-
vide means of amusement for concert
halls or parlors, which will be always
available. The hostess "has a few
friends" and has no one to sing for
them. A disk of Patti in La Sonnam-
bula, or Gerster in Lucia, is put into
the instrument, and every one is de-
lighted. If little instrumental music
is wanted, Joseffy, on List rhapsodie,
will probably fill the bill. Ifthe young
people want dance, the latest waltz,
rendered in the most approved fash
ion. may be reproduced.
No turning of the handle is neces-
sary, as small electric motor can be
used, and the gramophone will 60 on

grown stations, while in all others
this age is protected as a colt and are
not called grown until four years old
and over. Let me show you pen
picture.
A crossroads livery stable keeper
takes his eight-year-old grown stallion
who has seen service in the stud, and
is consequently all ambition and very
snowy when 18th other horses. This
horse is fat, sleek, well groomed and
trained, has not been out of his box
except to go round the square when
lots of farmers were in town, and OF
course, being in the shade all the time
and well-fed on grain, he looks plump
and nice, although his colts may be all
spawned and blind etc. The judges
look at him and fail to see that great
space between his last rib and his hip.
A granger goes down into his pasture
and lassoes his three-year old colt, and
after scraping off the mud and sand
burs and pulling out all the cockle-
burrs he can, currys him, and after a
world of trouble gets him to the fair.
He is poor, unkempt, sunburned, awk-
ward, no life, ribs show so plain that
the judges can see that his last rib is
only three inches from his hip. He is
really the best Of the two, but is it
fair to show them both together?
In this same lot (9) you have left
out "Best mare two years old and un-
der g." In lot 10 you have left out the
females altogether thus:
"Best mare years old and over.
Best mare years old and under 4.
Best mare 2 years old and under 8.
Best mare 1 year old and under 2.
Best mare with sucking colt.
You have no class for pure trotting-
bred horses. AS this industry is larg-
er than the draft horse in this county
and constantly on the increase, 1 be.
lieve it would pay to insert one in the
paper.
In lot II there is an offel for best
brood mare and three colts. Now last
year there was not a single entry in
this class, and 1 and many others
tried to show mares with two foals.
The fact is good mare produces such
good colts that we can not keep them
until she has three of them. Why
can't We have showing like this
"Best herd of borses bred and own
ed by any one man,
"Best stallion raised in Allen coun.
ty, bred from parent stock that
was also bred in Allen county.
Give lis walking race, a farmers |
double team trot of mile with farm
wagon, slow race, and finally on the |
last day of the fair have all the prize |
winners shown together.
We are all coming to the fair and |
many of us would like to see the above |
changes. We did not come to the
preliminary meeting because we could |
not get there by 10 a. m. We have
longed for this fair ever since the last |
one was over and we are all coming.

Why Young and Old Fowls Should Not Be
Allowed to Run Together,

Why Young and Old Fowls Should Not Be
Allowed to Run Together.
We do not refer to the cockerels and
pullets, for these have long ago been
separated by careful breeders, but re-
fer to the different kinds of stock kept
by the poultryman. "A classification
may be made according to age, into
hens and pullets, and according to
purposes, into breeding stock, layers,
settlers and stock to be fattened.
Old hens and pullets should be sep
arated because the feeding suitable
for the one is unsuitable for the other.
Old hens have made their growth. and
if to be kept over should be fed with
sparing hand, in order to prevent them
from becoming too fat. Excessive fat
ness leads to a suspension of egg-pro-
duction and predisposes to certain
forms OF disease. Pullets, on the other
hand, are growing and should be fed
literally in order to promote growth
and keep up their strength. There is
little danger of their becoming too fat.
Breeding stock should be SO fed as
to be kept in robust health, be well
nourished, neither too fat nor too lean,
so that when the breeding season be-
gins, they will be in proper condi-
ton to perform all the functions of
breeders. The laying stock-and with
them may be included the hens in
tended for setters-should be
fed for eggs, forced to lay
through the winter when eggs are
high, and be ready to furnish plenty
of hens, which desire to set early in
the season. The stock for fattening
should be separated from all the rest
and be so fed as to make the most
flesh in the shortest possible time and
be ready for market.
1t will be readily seen that it will
not do to let all of these kinds of stock
run together, for the care which will
produce the best results with one kind
will be positively injurious to another
kind. The best results can be obtained
only by the exercise of good ju dgment,
which selects the appropriate means
for accomplishing any given purpose.
Like every other business poultry rear
ing needs good mixture of br aims in
the food and management if success is
to be attained. The more brains used
the better, for beyond any question the
most important element of success is
brains. Anybody can raise chickens,
perhaps, but not every body can make
chicken raising a successful and profit
able business. and the highest success
is attainable only by the constant use
of brains.-American Pou TRY Yard.
