It is Thought They Would Like
to Buy It.
A USEFUL ADJUNCT.
Would Give a Direct Line Be-
tween st. Louis and Chicago.
There Are Over Two Hundred
Miles in the Road.

SPRING FIELD, Ill, July 13.-The recent
agitation of the purchase of the Chicago,
Peoria & St. Louis railroad by the Cairo
Short Line, has aroused the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe people to the impor-
tance of this line as part of their sys-
TEN. A party of Santa Fe officials, head :
ed by Receiver Walker and Traffic Man
ager Biddle, went over the Chicago,
Peoria & St. Louis system in the past
twenty four hours and made thorough
inspection of the road bed and equip
ment 1t is thought the Santa Fe peo-
pie contemplate acquiring the road.
The Chicago. Peoria & ST. Louis rail-
road is line 1873 miles long extending
between Chicago and Peoria with q
branch line AZ miles long between Peo-
ria and Jacksonville.
A branch of the Santa Fe's Chicago
line runs into Peoria and if the Santa Fe
owned the 1873 miles of road between
Peoria and St Louis it would give the
Santa Fe and Frisco system direct line
between St, Louis and Chicago.
A prominent Santa Fe official said this
morning: "There is no question but that
this road could be used to great advan-
tage, if we owned it, but it is hardly
likely that there is anything in this
story. We had traffic agreement with
this road up to about year and half
ago when we gave it up, because we
could not make satisfactory arrange
ments with the owners of the road"

Feeding Hogs Cotton Seed.

Feeding experiments with pigs are
among the interesting things at the
barn now. The lot of four that was
started in the ratio of cotton-seed meal
and corn meal have all succumbed to
the deadly effects of cotton-seed meal.
One pig survived only twenty-three
days from the beginning of the expert
ment; two. thirty-seveD days, and the
fourth. fifty-six days The average
weight of the pigs was something less
than fifty pounds. Each pig was re-
ceiving about eight ounces Of cotton
seed meal a day, mixed with three
times this amount of corn meal. No
signs Of sickness could he seen up to
within day or two of the death of the
pig, but examination of the corpse
would show a severe case of inflamma-

they did not relish the feed, they made
about twice the gains of lots fed on

HERE AND THERE.

Orchards require care and attcn.
ton and should receive rs much AZ
other crops.
1t is a waste Of time and money to
undertake to grow profitable crops on
lands which have been impoverished,
without putting into the ground some-
thing to enrich it.
There is too great a difference be-
tween what the farmer gets for his
poultry and eggs, and what the con-
sumers pay for the same. This thing
should be remcdied.
The grand total wheat crop of the
world in 1894 was ESQ. III 600 bushels,
of which Europe produced .53S. ZIG, 600
bushels the United States AGO, 1000
bushels and South America, l0+, 900. 900.
A cubic foot of good silagc will
weigh about fifty pounds, and is good
ration for one COW one day, combined
with other food. A silo containing
4. 900 cubic feet will hold 100 tons, or
200, 900 pounds.
1t is no more trouble to reap oats
where the yield is 80 bushels per acre,
than where the crop measures up less
than 10 spushels per acre. The only
proafitble plan is to enrich the land
and sow plenty Of seed oats per acre.
The highest market price for sew
cral years do not seem to stimulate
the cattle trade. The fact is cattle

they were last year when prices were

in Georgia and other southern

the only expense incident to its use.

URBANA, Ohio, April 16, s95.-(SpeciaD.-
This town is in quite boil of excitement
since the facts about the improved physical
condition of many Of our leading citizens
became known Anderson 4 Cramer, the

Mr.. Anderson termed it. "Yes, we intro
duced No-TO-Bac into this town about three
years ago. The demand at the start was
very light, the folks had no faith in it, but
we sold to few people, and to our great
establishment every one reported . cure.
Since that time we have sold hundreds Of
boxes, and every one under guarantee
to cure or refund the money, and strange as
it may seem, we have never had call to re-
fund money. This is indeed a great record
of merit, and it is because Of this merit that
the big sale has resulted. As every cure
brings in at least twenty live customers, we
know that NO-To-Bac can be relied upon in
every respect, and NOTo-Bac not only re-
lieves the nervous irritation and makes the
use Of tobacco entirely unnecessary, but at
the same time builds up and fOrtifies the
general physical condition. just saw two
of our prominent merchants pass down the
opposite side Of the street, they were cured

weed"
Further investigation revealed the fact
that there are 500 people living in this town
and the surrounding country who have
ON at this rate it will not be very long be-
fore the tobacco industry is going to be seri-
ously affected. The sale of No-To-Bac has
been phenomenal.
Tho public should be warned, however,
against the purchase of any of the many imi-
tations on the market, as the success Of No
To-Bac has brought forth host of counter
feiters and imitators. The genuine No-To-
BAG is sold under a guarantee to cure by all
druggists, and every tablet has the word No
To-Bac plainly stamped thereon, and in the
purchase Of the genuine article you run no
physical or financial risk.
