THE advocates of the free coinage
of silver are absolutely certain that
free coinage means vast benefits to the
people. The opponents of the measure
are equally sure that great financial
disaster would be the result. Some
how we are of the opinion that the
advantages or disadvantages are large
ly theoretical, and that there would
be comparatively little disturbance
We make an exception, of course, in
the case of the owners of silver mines.
There can be no question as to the
advantage to them of policy that
would give them double price for all
the silver they can produce.

TRAINING A COLT.

The training of a colt should begin
as soon as it is weaned indeed, be-
fore this time something may be done
in a preparatory way to make the
training more easy. The first thing
to do is to get well acquainted with
the colt, and thus remove all fear OF
the owner. When the young animal
has the confidence of the owner the
rest is easy, if this confidence is not
lost by any rough or unkind treat
ment. The utmost gentleLes and
kindness are requisite to maintain the
influence over the young animal first
acquired. The rest follows by gradual
steps, teaching the colt its business
little by little. In this way the ami
NAL may be put to light work soon
after it is year old. 1t is good
thing to have colt go with the mare
while it is sucking, as this accustoms
it to much of its future work, and
uses it to the road. New York Times.

INDIGESTION IN CALVES.

When young calf is gorged with
milk, Indigestion follows and the
stomach is clogged with mass of com
pact curd. The consequence is, says
the Mark Lane Express, that the ami
NAL becomes dull, dribbles at the
mouth and grinds its teeth.
The treatment should be to give a
teaspoonful of carbonate of soda or
saleratus in half pint of water, which
will dissolve the curd and aid its pas
sage through the intestlnes. In six
hours after give one teaspoonful of
raw linseed or castor oil. Offer no
food until the bowels are cleaned out,
and then give one quart of warm fresh
milk at meal every three hours.
When calf is drinking milk it should
be fed slowly and with intervals Of
rest, and cold milk should never be
given, as this chills the stomach and
provokes indigestion.

The Elephant Made Change.

canton, the big buff colored ele-

Geological Gardens, is the smartest
elephant I know" avowed the re-
turned tourist to the Mail and Ex-
press reporter. 81 saw him one morn
ing do neat stroke of business with
his keeper and a group of children
who were handing him cakes and
tarts.
"He kept slowing away the sweet
meats with small ceremony until the
last morsel had disappeared. Then q
little girl reached up copper coin
and Anton took it without hesitation.
He turned that into the general fund,
apparently, and thrust forth his pro-
bocis again. 1t was like taking up a
collection. Every child wanted to con-
tribute.
"He must have had yearly n dime
in coppers concealed about his person
when he trumpeted. His keeper
stepped out from behind the board
partition and gave him a water
cracker. Anton produced coin from
somewhere and offered it in exchange.
There was another cracker and an
other copper.
"They kept up the transaction I'M
til Anton's treasury was exhausted.
and noticed that he never gave up
two coins for one cracker. Pretty
soon the old fellow had all the pocket
money of those youngsters, and his
little eyes twinkled as he waved his
ears gently. gave him small piece
of silver, and he held out against all
temptation to surrender it until his
keeper set four crackers before him. :"

The question of economical feeding
in pork production is one that inter-
ests all farmers, and much informa-
ton on that line is being impaired
from the different experiment stations.
A recent bulletin OF the Utah Station
gives results from the use of bran fed
in four different combinations-bran
and wheat, bran and peas, bran and
corn, and bran and barley. The grain
was ground and mixed with clean
water, and fed in such quantities as
wonld be eaten up clean, and in each
of the pens was kept box contaiL ing
salt and ashes on the ratio of pint of
salt to peck of ashes. The period
occupied by the feeding was little
over five months, and in that time the
gain of the sets in the order of the
feed named was: 333, 52S, 1903 and
260 pounds, weighing at the start 106,
Ill, 112 and Ia pounds respectively,
and at the close 439, $50, 415 and 3Sl
pounds respectively; the average gain
per pig per day was SO, 100, .63 and
SO pounds.
1t will be noticed that the pigs fed
with the pea mixture made much
greater gain in the whole than either
OF the other lots, being 200 pounds
heavier than those fed on wheat, 224
than those fed on corn, and 25S than
those fed on barley. The amount of
feed varied, however, on the different
lots as follows: 1344.44, 1919. 40,
137S.6S and 1913. 70; the amount re-
quired for l pound of grain of less
weight was 4.02, 1853, 4.55 and 4. SO
pounds respectively at cost of 2.51,
3.1S, 2.S4 and 800 cents respectively,
being reckoned upon the basis of wheat,
45 cents per bushel, or rs cents per
cwt., ground; peas, $1.25 per cwt. !;
corn, Is cents per cwt, ground, and
barley, 80 cents per cwt., ground. 1t is
noticed that Notwithstanding the
greater gain from feeding the peas,
the cost of the pork was also greater.
1t was determined that the feeding
value of the grains as compared would
be for 100 pounds of wheat, 8S pounds
of peas, rs pounds OF corn, and 12l
pounds of barley.
1t appeared that peas made rapid
growth, and were superior to either
of the other grains; the others follow
in their order, wheat, corn, and bar
ley last.
On the basis of this experiment,
taking wheat as standard OF value
measure, peas would be worth Is per
cent. more, and corn Is per cent, aud
barley II per cent less, respectively,
than wheat for feeding to pigs. -New

A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS.
NERVOUS TROUBLES END IN ST.
VITUS' DANCE.
Physicians POwerless---The Story Told by
the Child's Mother.


(From the Reporter, Somerset, Ky.)
Among the foot hills of tho Cumberland
Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock, is
the happy home of James McPherron. Four
months ago the daughter of the family, a
happy girl of siXteen, was stricken with St.
Vitus' dance. The leading physicians were
consulted, but without avail. She grew pale
and thin under the terrible nervous strain
and was fast losing her mental powers. In
fact the thought of placing her in an asylum
was seriously considered. Her case has been
80 widely taxed about that the report of her
cure was like undermining a miracle of old.
To reporter who visited the homo the
mother said:
eyes, the reports of my daughter sickness
and cure are true as you hear them. Her af-
Fiction grew into st. Vitus dance from an
aggravated form of weakness and nervous
trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of
help was followed to the end but it seemed
that physicians and medicine were power
less. Day by day she grew worse until we
despaired of her life. At times she almost
went into commissions. She got so that we
had to watch her to keep her from wander
ing away, and you can imagine the care she
was.
"About this time, when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fed, l read OF
another case, almost similar, that had been
cured by medicine known as DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. Almost in desperation secured
some of the pills and from that day on tho
wonderful work of restoration commencad
the nervousness left. her cheeks grew bright
with the color of health, she gained flesh and
grew strong both mentally and physically
until to-day she is the very picture of good
health and happiness.
at is no wonder that I speak in glowing
terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person
meet. They saved my daughters life and
am grateful"
Tho foregoing is but one of many wonder
full cures that have been credited to DIR. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People. In many
gated by the leading newspapers and ver
fled in every possible manner. Their fame
has spread to the far ends of civilization and
there is hardly drug store in this country
or abroad where they cannot be found
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from watery
condition Of the blood or shattered nerves
The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price 60 cents a
box, or six boxes for S250-they are never
sold in bulk or by the 1000 by addressing
