MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY.

Senator Quay declares that hisphy'
s;cian orders him to keep out of the
turmoil of politics. In this way only
can he avoid an attack of vertigo.
Now this malady comes from indi
gestion and while it may lead to
paralysis or apoplexy, it can be cured
by keeping the digestion in perfect
order, and stomach and bowels free
from all irritating substances and UNI
digested food. For this purpose there
is nothing that equals the Laxative
Gum Drops. These contain no taste
of medicine and they can be given
without the slightest danger. They
are best taken at night before retiring.
They are invaluable for sour stomach,
for dyspepsia and for any malady
that arises therefrom. Ask your
druggist for them and do not take
anything else, for nothing else will
help you. They come in two sizes.
Small size 10 cents, large size IS
cents. Get them of any dealer.

THINGS OF INTEREST.

SEVERAL sharp reports, which were
heard distance of fifteen miles, imme-
diately preceded the fall of forty -four
pound acrolite on the farm of Lawrence
Freeman, Bath county, S. D.
THE old-fashioned birthstone match,
which was used with finder box, was
little slip of very thin wood, six inch
es long and n quarter of an inch broad;
it tapered at either end, and at either
end was dipped in birthstone.
A PEAR tree which was set by Gov.
John Endicot in 1880 is still standing
near Danversport, Mass. 1t blossoms
freely, although two hundred and sixty
two years old; but the fruit, like most
of the pears of that date, is of poor
quality.
ALTHOUGH it may not be generally
known, the woods of northern British
America are still infested by queer
species of bison known as the "wood
buffalo" lie is much larger than the
buffalo of the plains, which formerly
abounded in such numbers.

THE CARE OF CATTLE.


Why Every Farmer should study this
Science OF Feeding.
II is not the fault OF the scrub COW or
steer that she Is no better than she or
he Is. We need TO remember that, for
II we have been at fault in lesscning
the value of the scrub, we may lessen
the value of better cattle If we ever
have them. Fifty years ago, those of us
who are old enough 10 remember, the
life Of the COW was anything but
desirable, Even in summer the pas
ture was apt to be utterly insufficient
for the animal because the pasture
went year afteryear without having the
slightest attention paid TO it. In VIM
ter time there was the barest apology
for shelter if there was any at all
Such extravaganza" as feeding grain
was never thought of, and while the
hay was poor the corn fodder was
poorer Anything in the shape of a
bull was good enough for service, and
il any body wonders that the scrub is
no better than she generally is, he
would wonder that fire would burn a

in the world could not stand such
treatment for hundred years and be
whit better than the scrub is,
We have never known case in
which farmer, however careless he
might have been in caring for common
stock, did not take good care OF thor
oughbreds if he purchased them. One
of the great uses of improved breeds of
cattle-we always contended-is that
they teach men to be more care
People are not apt to pay u
good price for thing and then
abuse it. But there is abuse of cat
tie other than exposing it to storms
and starving it, and if we do not realize
il we are in danger of going far wrong
We have seen, and so has every reader
Of this article seen, show stock that

| tened almost to death. Its bones and
muscles had been neglected in order TO

whole matter was, people mistook the
mountains of fat-of practical disease
for strength and size-often bought
these abused animals for breeders and
rs result produced animals that were
weak, and, in measure at least, unsat-
| isfactory.
1t is readily to be seen, therefore,
that to treat an animal kindly, to take
care of it in the most profitable way,
we must study the science of feeding
and be governed by its principles 1t
is hardly probable that any reader of
this paper does not feed enough. But
there may be many who do not feed
the right kind of foods. We hope that
the time is not far distant when every
farmer will recognize the fact that too
much corn is injurious and will feed all
animals enough of such foods as bran,
oats, etc, us will nourish the bony and
muscular systems. Farmers Voice.

The Rest Aiwayg Sells.

A good animal of any breed or kino
will sell itself; will find its own mar
ket 1t will command attention when
that which is bad is ignored and neg
lected. When the market is over
stocked, who is it that still sells at
paying price? 1t is the man who in the
midst of dizziness has still had an ere
to perfection in his animals; who hes
never looked back but has pursued an
even course toward high merit from
the beginning, no matter what his cir
cumstances as TO market may have
been; it is the man who has not studied
so much what he is to receive, but who
has been concentrating his powers on
the production Of animals OF snlteele
merit. --ceimvns RHssl Weg!a

An authority says that in boiling
macaroni it is fatal to permit it to stop
boiling for moment until done. Have
plenty of sailed water in the saucepan

The proper way to brush the hair is
not to brush it lengthwise, but to hold
the ends of the hair, if it be long
enough, and simply comb the scalp
with the brush. This process promotes
the circulation of the blood and excites
the oil glands to action. After the hair
has been thoroughly brushed in this
way it should then be finished with a
few vigorous strokes lengthwise of the
hair.-Detroit Free Press.
