STOCK AND FARM.

Arkansas City Traveller: Boss Mer-
rick raised the best corn crop last sea-
son. He had 5000 bushels, which he
sold to the Arkansas City Cattle compa-
ny for $4,000.
Abilene letter: A number of cars OF
horses have been shipped to Louisiana
and Oregon from this county during
the past two weeks. Dickinson county
sent out about tisty cars of fine horses
during 1890, making a valuable return
for the farmers.
4 Hiawatha dispatch says that horses
are dying in Nemaha county from some
unknown disease. They become vio-
lently sick and the trouble goes to
their heads. making them wild from
pain. They live in no case more than a
few hours. NJ. J. Rich, Of Sabetha,
who lost three horses in one day, thinks
it is either from la grippe or from eat
ing corn stalks.
Lyons Tribune: C. D. Leonard in
formed reporter recently that he had
just figured up his stock account. and
found that since July, 1886. he had sold
from his farm over $1,000 worth of
hogs, netting him on his corn fed more
than SO cents per bushel. He says his
figures prove that hogs sold at 81 cents
make his corn worth 45 cents per BUSH
ell. The average price of his entire sales
was S4.10 per 100 pounds.
Wichita Eagle: George A. Lyon,
one of the Oldest residents of this val
ley, and who has successfully farmed
in Sedgwick county ever since the
county was a county, or for twenty
years, and who saw all the big wheat
crops of the famous wheat years har-
vested. saws that he never saw such
prospect for big yield as now. If all
the conditions should continue as ia
vorable from now on as they have
proved since its sowing, there will come
in reports of yields per acre that will
open the eyes of the world. As for the
acreage IN southern Kansas. it is great
er than the year when it was not an un-
usual sight to see on the streets Of this
city from three to five hundred wagons
loaded with wheat waiting their turns
at the elevators. If, perchance, the
crop should prove all it promises, and
should command as much as dollar or
more per bushel, south Kansas would
wipe out her entire indebtedness before
next Christmas.

Cold and moisture combined have tor
porlsing effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive ard secretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in winter than
in the fall. The same is true, also, of the
excretory functions. The bowels are often
sluggish, and the pores of the skin throw off
but little waste matter at this season. The
system, therefore, requires opening up a lit
tie, and also purifying and regulating, and
the safest, surest and most thorough tonic
poses is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Per-
sons who wish to escape the rheumatic
twinges, the dyspeptic agonies, the painful
disturbances of the bowels, the bilious at
tacks, and the nervous visitations, so COM
mon at this time of the year, will do well to
reinforce their systems with this renowned
vegetable stomachic and Invigorant. 1t i'm

cheers the spirits and renovates the whole

In reading over the literary items Of
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
recommendation to use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
great sufferer from sick headache, /
determined to try them, and, to my great
joy, ! found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.

News from the Convention.
 The Worlds and National Woman's Christian Temperance Unions have been holding joint convention in Boston, Nov. 15-18. Fremont Temple, where the meetings were to be held, has been full to overdowing, and Park-st. and Bromfield street churches have also been crowded with W. c. T. U. women and others, who have been addressed by some of the lead ing women of our country. Fremont Temple was beautifully decorated with flags of many nations, and with W. 0. T. U. banners of several states, and pie ture of the temperance temple now build ing In Chicago. The hall was also fes- tooned with the names of the signers of the worlds petition, which was signed in Stafford at our worlds meeting last May. That noble, pure-minded, whole-souled woman, Frances E. Willard, had charge of the meetings, and inspired us with fresh courage to go on in the temperance work, with strong faith in God, our helper.
 Lady Henry Somerset, president of the British W. 0. T. U., Mary Clement Leavitt, our round missionary, Mother Thompson and Mother Stewart, the first crusaders, and hosts of other bright women of our country and of other countries, addressed the meetings by re- counting the w. c. T. U. work as it is being carried on in It's various depart ments.
 The singing, in charge of Mrs. Alice J. Osborne -Harris, was excellent. The work of the children and the young men and women was shown in meetings of the B" and of the Loyal Legion. Let us, because of the influence of this conven- tion, do more in the temperance work, be closed.
