DR.. Ham will make another of his
regular visits to Lancaster, Tuesday.
November 4, and al usual he may be
consulted free of charge in his parlors
at the Wright House. The doct tor is
becoming so well and favoraby known
in our community that it is hardly neces-
sary TO more than mention the date of
his coming TO secure a large crowd at
the hotel eager 10 avail themselves of
his superior skill. Those who are in
durable are frankly told so. Some who
think their troubles are of trifling ma
ture are found by DR.. Hams peculiar
methods of analysing diseased cordi-
tions TO be net only in dangerous con-
dition but beyond human power to
control. Likewise many who have
doctored for years, even until they have
given up the cherished hope of cure
n despair and resign themselves To
miserable existence, are speedily and
permantly returned to health, especially
is this true of the nervous system. To
those who have been discouraged we
would say by all means visit the doctor
and obtain his opinion if you have not
already done so.

TnE WORD "CALCULATr. .

When people say calculate" they
use a word which goes back 10 the very
infancy of our race and the beginning
of the science of arithmetic. 1t comes
from the Latin calculus, a pebble.
When men first began TO reckon and
compare numbers they could think of
no better way than to lay pebbles

"A Serious April Fool Joke.

1t will take a long time for the literary
world to recover from the alleged joke per-
petrated by The Frankfurter Zeitung as
an April Fool" on it's readers. Its edito-
rial page of March q announced the dis
covery of a mass of Goethe relics in u long
buried nook of the Goethe house in Frank
fort, among them being an ~unprintable
poem entitled 1.-THE Joy of Love-" The &C.
count closed by stating that the collection
would be on view at the Goethe house April
l. The Zeitung's story was copied by it's i'm
mediate exchanges the next day, found it's
way to Berlin March %, and WIS promptly
cabled to all parts of the world. As a
result on April 1 Frankfort was visited
by some fifty Goethe worshipers from all
parts of Germany, five from Austria, three
from France and two from England. That
they were angry on learning the truth is
to put it mildly. The lie, however, is still
on its travels, and pilgrims are reported
hurrying to Frankfort from the United
States and other distant civilized countries
of the world.

The Wicked Hawk,

T. D. A. Cockerell, Wet Mountain val
ley, writes in Toledo Farm: "I am SUI
prised that at this day such a wicked con-
domination Of hawks should appear, to-
gether with an appeal for a bounty. DR..
Merriam, of the department of agricul-
ture, has given statistics of the food of
the principal kinds of hawks, and from
these and the independent testimony of
other witnesses any one can perceive
that hawks in general kill far more mice
and other noxious animals than is recon-
pense for the few fowls or small birds
they destroy. In any case I think a
bounty would be a waste of public
money. In the present case it would be
a useless ard criminal waste. Of course
there are some hawks that may be USE
fully killed-namely, Cooper's hawk and
the sharp Skinned hawk. Cooper's hawk
has ~undeniably a liking for chickens.
But these are exceptions. The sparrow
hawk is a pure b~enefactor and lives al
most entirely on mice and insects. 1

If a hen eats her eggs, kill her.
The Southdown sheep is growing in

such he is a swindler.

IDA OF ST. LAMBERT'S,

We have in America, in Colorado, a
live German baron who has come to this
country and engaged in the fine stock
breeding business. His name is Baron
W. B. 7on Richthofen. He is buying
all the cattle of the Stoke Pogis St.
Lambert family that he can get his
hands on. Hereafter he will make the
breeding Of this family a speciality.
The success of the baron has been so
good that he has already a number of
COWS that have yielded two and a half
to three pounds of butter a day. One of
these is the third best Jersey COW now
living. Her name is Mrs. Knickerbocker
and she has record of t~hirty-one pounds
and three ounces of butter in seven days.
Undoubtedly if you want butter the
Jersey is your COW.

The Berkshire is blackin both hair and

comes off with the hair and the pork

from all tendency to the woolly under

There is a white splash on the face, the
feet are white and so is the end of the
tail. These peculiar marks are all repro

Harvesting Oxen,

While over at Burlington, in Kit Car
son county, we saw one Christian farmer
thereabouts. He was riding in a farm
wagon behind a pair of patient oxen,
harnessed like horses. The harness con-
sisted of traces, girths, breeching, Dutch
collars and reins. The reins were fast
ened into rings snapped into the noses of
the horned brutes. The driver-a very
]patriarchal looking old fellow-managed
them like a team of horses, and they
obeyed the reins as readily. Besides be-
ing much relief to the oxen, it appeared
more businesslike to see the driver be-
hind his team instead of at the side, as is
usual. The old fashioned yoke is barbar-
GUS and very heavy to carry, while the
harness looks light and quite in keeping
with Christianity, civilization and mod
ern improvement. This was one indica-
ton we observed in the rainbelt. Field

Muscle and Bone in Draft Horses.

Mr.. J.. Critchlow, in The National
Stockman, Pittsburg, says:
"We may personally admire and pre-.
fer a clean pair of smooth geldings
weighing 5000 to 5000 pounds, and
worth in Pittsburg today from $3.50 to
$500, but if we can produce a team weigh
ing 8,40o to 6, 900 pounds they can handily
be disposed of at $500 to $500, for the
simple reason that the demand is for
muscular weight and bone, regardless of
extra fiat bone and silky feather. If,
then, we are raising draft horses for
market, this demand is to be consulted,
and the horses bred from that by their
breeding and individual merit indicate
massive bone and muscular development.
The Englishmen learned this years since,
and have been handsomely paid for it,
and the sooner we catch on the better
for pocketbooks."

In repeated observations to see if the shoe
will fit. 1t is not necessary to touch the
foot with a hot SHOE" Owners of horses
should attend to the shoeing themselves,
and see that the feet are not injured,
Continuing the writer we'll says: 'Ihave
seen a smith shoe a horse by fitting one
shoe at a time, and when he was done
the horse had four different shaped feet.
Have the shoes all fitted before mailing.
Make the forward shoes just alike in
shape, weight and width between heel
calks, then put them on. Then shoe the
hind feet in the same manner, always
remembering that steel shoes are the

FEEDING CALVES FOR BEEF.
4 Nebraska Live Stock Farmers Improved
Methods-Meat Producing Machines.

Methods-Meat Producing
I would prefer to have calves dropped
in February and I would let them have
all the milk until the following Septem-
Der or October, then we.n and give them
all the clover hay they would eat. to-
gether with all the shelled oats and
shelled corn in equal quantities that can
be crowded into them. And right here
! wish to impress upon you, my brother
farmers, that not until you recognize and
accept as a correct axiom that the young
meat producing animals kept on the farm
are used as mere machineH to convert
grain into beef, pork and mutton, will
the right kind of success attend you.
In the feeding of calves great care and
judgment should be exercised in starting
them Alright. At this period there is
great danger of overlooking and of blast
ing their future usefulness. For the first
two or three weeks they must be fed
very s~cantily with grain until all get
down to business. From this on the ma
chimes are to be run to their full capacity,
The more feed you a get into them the
larger will be the profit in the end.
The calves are kept on this feed and
fed their grain twice each day, morning
and night, in boxes, cleaning out the
boxes at each feeding, until the grass is
Of sufficient size in the spring to make
suitable feed.
They must at all times be literally sup
piled with salt and have all the water
they want, free from ice. The ice is
kept out Of the water tank by a tank
heater, which can be u at a small ex-
pense. When in the spring the grass is
of sufficient size to turn on l should dis
card the use of the hay and oats and con-
tinue the corn, either shelled or broken
up.-George Wendell.

Breeding for Beef.

Of course I discard the scrubby, or
"pennyroyal" kinds, and deal only with
high grades and pure bred of any of the
noted breeds Of our country that are now
found O almost every farm.
For the breeding Of cattle for profit, I
would select dams of high grade, good,
heavy bone, large, we'll developed bodies
on short legs, and of a kind and gentle
disposition. Such dams I would mate
with a pure bred sire, having a good
pedigree, combined with individual merit
"a broad, straight back, large bone,
compact body, set on straight. short legs.
Now, with such dams and sire, we are
ready for business, and a profitable bust

attachment, and she became Mrs. Arm
strong quite young. At 81 she was a widow
with one child, so she went to London and
thence to Paris, and after two years de-
voted to study and to perfecting herself in
the French language she made her debut
in "Rigoletto'. at Brussels.
It was a triumph. She subsequently ap-
peared in "Traviata," Faust" Hamlet"
and "Romeo and Juliet" her first appear
ance in Paris being as Ophelia in "Ham-
let." Her greatest success there, however,
has been as Marguerite in 'Faust." She
assumed the theatrical title of Nine. Melba
as q compliment to her native Melbourne.
Partisan critics say that most of the debu-
tantes of late years have been from Amer
lea and consider the arrival of one from
Australia as marking an epoch Nine.
Melba is large in person, a brunette, with
most expressive and caressing black eyes"
and her person is as beautiful as her voice
is sweet.
"With such a fattering introduction to
the public at the age of 25," says an en-
thusiastic admirer in LIE Monde ~Illustre,
much may be expected of the Australian
star"
But will this presage be fulfilled? Will
Nine. Melba be able to WELD the scepter as
regnant queen of song for any length OF
time? Where one remains her loyal knight
