EXCELLENT STOCK FEED.

An Official Bulletin Treating of Sweet
Potatoes and Their Uses.
The department of agriculture has
issued a bulletin treating of sweet po-
tatoes and their uses. Only in locali-
ties favored with transportation facili-
ties and good markets is the sweet po-
tato sale crop. But as a food for
stock The department thinks it should
be extensively grown in regions adapt
ed to it. The roots have been success
fully fed to hogs, cattle and horses.
For cattle and horses it is better to
slice the roots. Of all classes of stock
hogs can be used to consume sweet
potatoes to the best advantage, since
they do their own digging.
Sweet potato vines are usually left
to decay in the field where they are
grown. However, they may be used as
food for cattle. An analysis of very
succulent sweet potato vines, grown in
Texas, showed them to be practically
Identical in chemical composition with
succulent COW pea vines, of which the
feeding value is well established.
v HES VI i've VdIlcClcS were dlldlyZeQ
at the Georgia station and showed con-
siderable differences in composition.
It is claimed that the vines Of the So,
called vineless variety, which stand up
we'll. can be cut with moving ma
chine, but to permit of this it will be
necessary to cultivate nearly level.
The vines are better suited for feeding
green than for curing into hay. In
the silo they are said to become Shiny.
A writer says he weighed a heavy crop
of green vines, and found that the
weight was five and one-sixth tons per
acre. At the Texas Experiment sta
ton the yield of green vines was much
greater.
The sweet potato is valuable crop.
i'hey are, worth raising for stock feed
alone, but sometimes it happens that
there is a good local demand at very
remunerative prices. The man who
has large yield when the general crop
is poor generally gets good pay for his
efforts. II prices are unsatisfactory it
would pay to try the experiment OF
feeding to stock.

A MOTORMAN'S LIFE.

Constant Danger.
The Great Strain on q Mans Nerves snf.
acient in Itself to Wreck Him In =
Short Time--The Experience Of Q
Wsll.Known Motorman.
From, The Cincinnati, Ohio. ENQUIRER

From the Cincinnati, Ohio, Enquirer.
The life Of q motorman is not bed OF
roses. He Is subjected to many hardships
especially In the winter when he is exposed
to the cold and snow. Even in the summer
he must bear the intense heat which beats
down upon him. Considerable nerve and
self possession Is necessary in good m otor-
man, for the lives and limbs of his pas.
sengers are at stake. One of the best
known electric motormen in this city is
William Frazer, who is at present running
Is not only well known to his fellow en-
ployes but to the people who travel on his
car. Mr.. Frazer is Q young man about
twenty-six years Of age and resides with his
wife and child at IA Belts Street, Cincin-.
natl, 0. About year ago Mr.. Frazer was
taken with serious stomach troubles. He
bought several kids of medicine which
were recommended to him, but none of
them seemed to give him even temporary
benefit. An enthusiastic admirer Of that
famous remedy known as Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People told him to try
them. Frazer was almost discouraged, but
took the advice. To reporter Of the En-
Qurer he said:
: II can most heartily recommend Dr.. VII
liams' Pink Pills. They are all that is
claimed for them, in fact they advertise
themselves better than any medicine ever
saw. was seized some time ago with q
bad attack of Indigestion. Ny stomach
hurt me nearly all the time and ! could not
digest my food. The pain was almost un-
bearable and found nothing that would give
me relief. I confess that when I bought
the first box of Pink Pills hadn't much
confidence in their efficacy because I had
tried 30 many things without success that
was almost discouraged. Before had
taken one box I was decidedly better. Two
boxes cured me entirely. While I have
been under the weather from other causes
my indigestion has never returned. If it
ever should know just what to do. have
so much confidence in the efficacy of Pink
Pills that il ever get real sick again with
any disorder shall use s0me of them. 1t
Is pleasure for me assure you to testify
to the excellent qualities Of these Pink Pills.
They not only tone the stomach but regu-
late the bowels and act as mild cathartic."
Mr.. Frazer's testimonial means some
thing. He speaks from personal experience
and any one who doubts that he received
the benefits stated can easily verify the as
sertion by calling on Mr.. Frazer or seeing
him some time while heis on his car.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are sold in boxes never in
loose form by the dozen or hundred) at 50

EPIDEMIC OF MAD CATS.

Their Elite Harder to Treat Than That u
Mad Dogs.
An epidemic in Paris Of ''enraged
cats" as the French call them, has
called forth some interesting state
ments from DR.. Chaillou, the director
Of the anti-rab ies staff at the Pasteur
institute in that city, where from /, 500
to !, 800 persons bitten by mad animals
are treated annually. "Contrary to
the popular belief he says, "cats go
mad frequently. and about per cent.
OF the cases we treat are caused by
bites inflicted by them. Horses and
other domestic cattle are rarely sub
ject to madness
The bites of cats which have gone
mad are generally serious and difficult
to treat for two reasons First, tho
teeth of the cat are fine and sharp,
and the wounds they make are deep,
introducing the virus into. the system
thoroughly. The dog, on the other
hand, has larger, blunter teeth, which
tear rather than penetrate. Cauteriz-
alton is excellentif done Immediately
In the case Of a dog bite, but when the
wound is caused by cats teeth it is
impossible to cauterize more than the
edges, while parts below the surface
remain impregnable with the virus.
I'm the second place, the dog bites
ut tho hands or legs of the person he
attacks, and not often at the face,
while the cat almost always attacks
the face first for it can jump more
easily and clings with it's claws to the
cloching. Bites in the face are much
more dangerous because of the proxi-
nifty of the point of entrance of the
virus to the nerve centers, it having a
much shorter distance to traverse than
If it entered tho body through wound
upon the legs or arms
''One thing which makes cat much
more dangerous when it goes mad is
that It seems to become furious and
attacks whatever 1t sees, while dog
frequently will crouch in corner and
seem to be subject to sort of partial
paralysis
Among CATS another authority says,
insanity is most frequently brought
about by indigestion, which causes a
congestion of their feeble brains The
reason they have commissions moro
frequently in hot weather is that the
heat OF the direct rays of the sun is
especially difficult for them to endure.
The Angora cat is the species most
likely to become mentally disordered,
for it is continually making it's toilet
and swallows great many of it's long
hairs, which form a ball in its stom-
ach and cause cerebral congestion.
This has been established by number
of autopsies which have been made
upon this variesy of felines.-N. Y.
