Sale Of Farm Products.

To the Editor:
/ am inclined to think that Vermilya is
right when he says: 1--WE cannot compete
with the big corporations in grain buying,
But his reasons are not my reasons Tor
the failure. The big combinations use
bribery and the farmers are too careless
in their duty of cOmptrOlierS. The COMBINE
is furnishing the money for our local
warehouses, and they are only local gath
erers for the puppets of the cOmDlne-the
Board of Trade operators. l am more and
more convinced of this since l began to in
uuire for shipments of grain to our bust
ness agent in Minneapolis w. Powell
There are too many farmers who must sell
part of the crop at least In less than car
load lots; therefore, buyers are necessity
at local stations; but the most important
place is where grain is sold by wholesale
and this idea is not fully grasped by farm
ers: therefore, they will be robbed of 40
per cent of the value of their wheat in the
future as in the past and more or Tess on
other products. EhlC OLoON'

THE BEST COSMETIC.

It is the Open Air and Plenty of Exercise.
As far as compilations go there is 10
reason in the world why women whose
lives are spent in the fresh, pure air of
the country, untainted by smoke and
dust should not have the finest skins.
BY exercise in the open air violent
enough to produce perspiration, and by
regular bathing, the proper ventilation
of the home, combined with good nutri-
tious food, they can obtain this crown
ing glory of womanhood. There is nc
cosmetic equal to flower garden. The
woman who cultivates roses is apt to
have them reflected in her glowing
cheeks, and there is nothing so good
for a nervous, low-spirited nature as
genuine love for growing things. Nc
woman's life can be inonotonous when
she is anxiously waiting to see the
coloring of her new pansies and is not
quite sure whether those lilies will be
pink or white. She will dream Of her
flowers. and her first impulse in
the morning will be to run out
and see what marvels of open.
ing buds the night has brought
forth. The labor of the entire day will
seem easier because of these few mo.
ments among the flowers, and the de.
sire to get back to her treasures will
prove a wholesome incentive to a rapid
and vigorous doing of her household
tasks. Some women complain, how
ever, and say that it always gives them
a headache to work in the garden.
This is generally the case because they
rush into the hot sun in the very hot
test part of the day, often either with.
out anything on their heads or with
some hat the weight Of which is enough
to cause pain in itself. If every woman
living on a farm would wear nothing
upon her head during the time spent
by her in working around her domain
but the old-time sun-bonnet of her
grandmother's day she would be able
to enjoy outdoor exercise without pain.
There is no better shield for the ewes
and complexion, and the back of the
neck, where delicate woman feels the
heat particularly, is shaded by the
cape. This bonnet should be made of
dark green ginghaIn or some other
easily-laundered material; white or
lighter colors are DAZZLING for the eyes
and so induce headaches. For the chill
dren these little sun-bonnets are excel
lent. As rule, women in the country
wear the heaviest headgear, especially
for their best attire. and by that prac-
tice lay the foundation of at least some
of their nervous troubles.-Ladies'

FEEDING FOR MILK.
CONCLUSIONS Reached BY Experiments in
Canada.

NO'-~-~oAcA'" As~oSsaCh W <APCNfAnCItb IL
Canada.
The experiments Of the Central ex-
pertinent farm at Ottawa, Can, have
been summarized as follows:
That when COW is ip full milk and
full flesh, she will give her normal
quality of milk for at least limited
time, even although the quality and
quantity of the food be very deficient.
That when in good condition COW
will take off her body whatever is def
cient in the food, in order to give her
normal quality of milk.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food at all times increases the quality
Of milk, but the percentage of fat is
not in any way improved by it, If any,
thing the tendency being rather the
other way.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food almost invariably very slightly
increases the solids not fat of the milk.
That a ration poor in food ingre-
dients has very slight tendency to
reduce the solids not the fat in the
milk, but has little appreciable effect
on the fat.
That with poor ration COW in full
weight will lose carcass weight, while
on rich diet she will gain weight.
That although the percentage of fat
in cows milk may vary daily, we at
present seem unable to control these
variations, or to account for them.
That for limited periods up to one
month or thereabout, all ordinary
quantities and qualities of foods seem
to have no material effect on the quail
ty of the milk.
That the only food which seems to
have any material effect on the per-
centage of butter in the milk is an ex-
cess of brewers grains.
That very succnlent grass has had
only very trifling effect in altering
the percentage of fat.
That most foods may convey some
flavor in the butter, but scarcely any
of them will alter it's percentage in the
milk.
That some foods exercise material
effect in raising the melting point of
butter.
That the aim of all producers of milk,
butter or cheese should be to feed what
will give quantity in moderate amount
and OF a mixed nature, and the pro-
duce will be the best that the COW can
give.
The extra quality must be looked for
by improving the breeds and judicious
selection, rather than by any special
foods or method of feeding.
That the variations in the percentage
of fat in a cows milk are caused bv
something, but what that something is
we at present do not know. though, if
we did, we might not be able to influ.
ence the quality.

DIR. PIERCES
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures NineV-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, In all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, III all its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
6enfage of cases, ard we believe, jnliJ; oS
per cent are cured by DR., Picrce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration linclud-
ing tubercular matter, great loss of flesh
and extreme eniaciafion and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds OF such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need rot take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures. had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, wfiskey,
and various preparations of the lIypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs Of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred nialadies, have been
skillfully reproduced III a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to .you on re-
