The Testimony Of an Expert.

The claim has frequently been made in
these columns that RElD'S GERMAN
COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE contains
no poison and can be given to children
without the slightest danger. This is a
great thing to say, because the average
cough remedy contains opates or narcotics
and many child has been overcome by
too great a dose. In order to settle the
question for RElD'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE we have submitted
the case to Mr.. Chas. B. Allaire, the head
of the well-known pharmaceutical house of
Allaire, Woodward & Co., the largest drug
miers in Central Illinois and one of the
leading houses in the West. Mr.. Allaire is
practical chemist, a microscopic of learn
ing and authority, and gentleman Of
wealth and standing. After full and
careful examination he says:
am acquainted with the formula of
RElD'S GERMAN COUGH AND KID
NEY CURE and know that the claim that
it contains no opiate or any deleterious sub
stance is strictly true. 1t is an exceedingly
valuable remedy and | am glad to know
that it is meeting with such a large sale. "
Mr.. Allare is in no way interested in the
Sylvan Remedy Co. and his high charac-
ter makes this testimonial of value. He
will endorse that statement by letter if any
one wishes to write him.

A Sunny Dining-Room.

The dining-room should be light and
sunny. The most essential pieces of
furniture are table of generous width,
capable of being enlarged, comfortable
chairs and a sideboard After that if
the room be large enough and the purse
will admit of the purchase of cabinet
or two, with glass fronts and sides, so
much the better In these there can be
kept dainty bits of china and glassware.
These cabinets will brighten dining
room more than anything else you can
put into it, possibly excepting pictures.
If there be no room for cabinet, a
corner cupboard and some hanging
shelves will be a great addition. Pic
lures that suggest pleasant things are,
of course, always desirable. A few
thrifty ferns Towering plants or ever
greens add great deal to the bright
ness and beauty of any room, but par
ticularly in the dining-room. Have
them there if you possibly can. La

it is true, also, that we, as farm
ers, have placed burdens, grievous
to be borne, upon our own shoulders,
and we need relief from these while we
are striving to throw off the other, and
unless we change the present systemo OF
making cotton to buy food for our
selves and our stock, the wisest meas

Tie Can Live with Short Eating, But Must
Have Water or Die.
A horse can live twenty-five days with
out solid food, merely drinking water;
seventeen days without eating or drink
ing, and only five days when eating
solid food without drinking. An idea
prevails among horsemen that a horse
should never be watered oftener than
three times day, or IN twenty-four
hours. This is not only mistaken idea,
but brutal practice. horses stom-
ach is extremely sensitive, and will
suffer under the least interference,
causing feverish condition.
Feeding a horse principally on grain
and driving it five hours without water
is like giving man salt macSerel for
dinner and not allowing him to drink
before supper time-very unsatisfac-
tory for the man.
If you know anything about the care
of horses and have any sympathy for
them, water them as often as they
want to drink-once an hour, if posi-

10 more work, they will be healthier,
they will look better and live longer
If you are slkeptic and know more
about horses than anyone else, you are
positive that the foregoing is wrong,
because you have had horses die with
watering them too much, and boldly
say that the agitators of frequent wa
tering are fools in your estimation and
you would not do such a thing. Just
reason for moment and figure out
whether the animal would have over
drunk and overchilled his stomach if
it had not been allowed to become
overthirsty. A horse is great deal
q man.
Let him get overworked, overstarved
or abused, and particularly for the want
of sufficient drink in warm weather,
and the consequences will always be
injurious Sensible hostlers in large
cities are awakening to the advantage
of frequent watering. Street car horses
are watered every hour, and sometime:
oftener, while they are at work. 1t il
plenty of water that supplies evapora

AN ADVANCED STEP.
The Problem OF Making the tafm Sci

rhe Problem OF Making the taFm Self
sastaihiRg.
The entire cotton belt is agitated over
lhe discussion of the problem of remu-
nerative cotton planting, Individual
farmers rs well as clubs and rommuhi-
ties are graphing with the subject A
large convention of cotton growers as:
sembled in Memphis, Tenh., last month,
and we devote considerable space to
their conclusions, We commend their
recommendation to the careful con.
sideration of every farmer In the
south. To follow their counsel
will be TO take an advanced step
In The path leading TO prosperity. Sue
cess will only result, however, when
concert of action is attained between
the mercantile world, cotton-growers
and negro tenants. The first advanced
step Is to place ones self in the position
OF not needing advances to run the
farm and grow the cotton. This will
be the result of diversified agriculture.
The next step is the intensified culture
of cotton, bringing up the yield per
acre to the full capacity of the soil,
and improving the fiber of the lint. An
increase in the quantity and quality OF
the cotton grown will enure greatly 10
the advantage of the cotton-grower.
The great trouble is that it has cost
the producer too much to grow the cot
ton. 1t is not so much the low price
received for the cotton as it is the great
cost of producing it, 1t will not do tc
stop the culture of cotton. for the wants
Of mankind demand it.
The grower is confronted with this
dilemma: To run cotton up to higher
figures stimulates competition from
other countries; to continue its culture
under the present system is bankrupt
ing the producer There can be ne
progress for the cotton grower if h'
continues the culture of cotton &C

tenn is predicated on the idea that it il
the duty of the farmer to make none,
and not to make the farm self-sustain
ing and the home indeed and in trutl
home. 1t is not wisdom to risk pros
perity and sustenance on one crol
alone, be it cotton, tobacco hemp o
anything else. Nor is it sound policy
to conduct your farm affairs on the be
lief that fortune can be attained il
one season, or in the expectancy tina
some one else will do for you wha
you ought to do for yourself
The first object of the farme
should be to make the farm sus
tain himself, family and the stool
necessary to conduct it. And thi
should be raised at the lowest possibl
cost of production. This is an essen
tial element in farm prosperity, an
can only be obtained by Oversize
and intensified system of culture. TIL
land becomes richer and more produC
tive each year, thus reducing the cos
of production. by careful culture c
cotton, making one acre do the work c
three or four acres, the cost can be re
