7 I O You
The Most important


Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition Of your blood.
Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity Of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the elements
whichgo to make up the organs, nerves
and tissues Of the body, and carries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle nerve and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods
SarsapaI.illa is the standard remedy
for making pure blood.
1t possesses merit peculiar TO itself
and by which it effects marvellous
cures even when other preparations
fail. When you buy your spring medi-
cine get the best, and that is

Don't Put it Off.

The necessity of a spring medicine
is universally admitted. This is the
best time of the year in which to
purify the blood, restore the appetite
and to build up the entire system,
as the body is now peculiarly sus
ceptible to benefit from medicine.
The great popularity attained by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing to its real
merit and its remarkable success,
has established it as the very bssi
medicine to take in the spring. I,

humors. biliousness. dyspepsia, head

The roller mill and Grantley hay
barn at Appleton City were destroy
ed by fire one day last week The
barn contained about $4,000 worth
of baled hay. The mill was esti-
mated to be worth $4,000 and only
carried $4,000 insurance. The in
surance on the barn and hay was
only $500 A steamer and fremen
were sent down from Sedalia on a
special train to fight the fire. The
mill pond was near at hand aud two
streams of water were thrown OF
the burning mass of hay and the fire
was soon under control. Had it not
been for the steamer aud tiremen
from Sedalia arriving when they did
it is thought the town would have
went up in smoke, as brands from
the burning hay were being scattered
over town by the wind, The loss OF
the big flour mill is a severe one to
Appleton, as the mill was means ot
bringing large amount of trade to

large city is swapping their trade.
The people, who should be patrons
of the smaller towns have formed
the habit of buying in the metropo
lis. That condition could have been
prevented and may yet be largely
mitigated. The town which has
suffered most can quickly restore
much of it's vitality by building up
a live newspaper and enthusing the

There is no other way in which the
desired object can be accomplished.
Without this policy the business of
the little cities is doomed Printers
ink in both the advertising and edi
torial columns is the only panacea.
While the Mails suggestion is a
good one, there is but one other
way for the towns thus injured to
combat against the city, and that
is to do like the Butler merchants
advertise freely and drop the prices
on goods so low it will not pay to

Mutton and Wool.

In very careful and thoughtful arsi-
Gle written by Henry Stewart he discuss
es IN the Sheep Breeder the production
of mutton VS.. wool:
"As fashions change, the supplies for
the manufacturers must change with
them, and thus 1t Is that the shepherd
should be in close touch with the wool
manufacturers, who use his product The
woolen manufacturers of England,
which sustain several large towns spe-
cially devoted to this industry, are sup
piled from all the world, the English
shepherds producing but small part
of their raw material. This Is unavoid-
able, because the climate and the meth
DDS of farming are not suited to the
product of the finest wool So it is that
the sleeps purpose in living in England
Is 70 yield the best mutton and the
fleece is a secondary object.
LAS the laws Of business are based on
the same exigencies In all countries, the
rapid growth of the United States will
soon bring us into the same predlcament,
which must be met by the same con-
dltions Of the wool growing industry. so
that we may expect that American shep-
herds will soon be producing mutton
more than wool, and our wool will be
sheep. The special wool bearer is not
the product OF a highly civilized COM
munity. for a pastoral life does not ad-
NIT Of this, but 1t Is carried on in a sort
of seml-wild condition of life, as has
been the case on our Western plains
rather than of farms. Farming calls
for quite different conditions Of life, and
1t must in time happen that the majority
OF our flocks will be kept on farms. and
not on the far-away ranches, where wool
growing must be the prime object of the
shepherd.
Now, the wool grower wants sheep
that will produce the staple at the low
est cost, the farmer wants the wool and
the mutton, and as he cannot hope to
compete on favorable terms with the
special wool grower. he must go in for
mutton sheep, and thus produce the
coarser fieeees Of the large sheep or the
cross breeds Cross s-breeding has always
been the most profitable part of the bust
ness OF the shepherd, and the English
farmers, who are proverbially success
ful producers OF mutton, are noted the
world over for the profit they make from
their hocks. The majority OF farms In
that country are managed on this basis,
and the rotation of their crops Is chosen
especially that the sheep may have a
good pasture on the young clover, and
a plentiful crop Of roots which are either
consumed In the land for the sake of
manure, dropped and spread In the best
possible manner. or for feeding the fat
tenlng sheep through the winter. 1t is
thus that the English sheep outnumber
the Inhabitants OF England. while we
cannot show more than half this proper
tlon."
