FEEDING LIVE STOCK.
A Successful Missouri Man Talks About
His Experience.

A Successful Missouri Man Talks About
His Experience.
I The profitable preparation of cattle
for market is still in it's infancy in the
west. The price of beef will not admit
OF practicing the methods of feeding
that arc practiced in the far east. The
labor necessary in connection with
stall feeding, loosing and tying up the
animals, bedding and cleaning out
compels us to discard this plan; and
since dehorning has become practica.
BILE new possibilities are open for the
successful handling of cattle in bulk.
Some feeders advocate the plan OF
keeping cattle In room In cold
weather, not allowing them out when
it is freezing. Other breeders allow
the fat cattle to stay out Of doors
through all kinds of weather. Where
cattle are confined in a room it is al
most impossible to furnish bedding
enough to keep them dry, and constant
tramping presses the bedding so close
that it is of no prac teal value. To al.
low an animal to lie on wet bed
causes severe chills. Their natures are
slow and sluggish, and in room there
will be more or less crowding, no mat
ter how much space is given them
One restless animal causes the dis.
turbance OF several, which is not con-
ducive to putting on flesh. In the
north it may pay, but where storms
are not continuous it is dead loss to
feed in stables During stormy weather
it will pay to have sheds under which
cattle may gather, but big fat fellows
will eat for long time in freezing
blast without hardly trembling, but
there'is no gain made, and even loss
of weight. As soon as possible allow
cattle the full liberty of large lot
with bedding scattered in dry places
even if the weather is cold. What
have been working for, and will work
for in the future, will be tile feeding
on part of a meadow which / intend
breaking up the following year, using
temporary sheds This will lower tn,
cost of pr oduction, and think Civ,
better gains for food consumed ant

Keep Only One Breed.

The farmer who would indiscrimin-
ately cross his stock, breeding to first
one breed and then ano ,her, would
not be called wise, and this applies to
poultry as well as other stock Select
a breed and stick to it, for there is not
so much IA tie breed as in the care. If
the stock is -mongrels to begin with
breed to pure bred males all the time,
and constant Improvement will be
made. If it is pure bred, do not breed
to some other breed, for whatever
benefit must be derived from the first
cross, will be lost in the next, for the
second generation will be only mon
grels, and will lose the valuable points
of their ancestors very often. Con-
slant improvement along all lines
should be the rule. Rural World.

A PARALYTIC CURED.
His Grandfather, Revolutionary Soldier,
and His Father Both Died of Paraly-
sis, Yet the Third Generation
Ia Cured-The Method,
From the Herald. Boston. Macs.


Like a thunderbolt from q clear sky,
stroke Of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank 7.
Ware, the well-known Boston auctioneef
and appraiser, at 1915 Washington street
He went to bed one night about six yeart
ago, seemingly in robust health. When he
awoke his left side was stiffened by the
deadening Of the nerves.
The interviewer sought out Mr.. Ware to
get the Facts. He gave the interesting par
ticulars in his own way:
"The first shock came very suddenly
while was asleep, but it was not lasting in
its effects, and in few weeks was able to
be about. A few months after, when ex-
hausted by work and drenched with rain,
went home in very nervous state The
result was second and more severe shock,
after which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
sMy grandfather, who was q soldier in
the Revolutionary War, and lost an arm in
the struggle for American independence,
died finally Of paralysis. My father also
died of paralysis, although it was compli-
Gated with other troubles, and so l had some
knowledge of the fatal character of the dis
ease which is hereditary in our family.
After the second shock took warning, for,
In probability, a third would carry me
off.
"Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me, and l tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any good,
electricity, massage and specialists, but to
no effect.
"The only thing found that helped me
was DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and l verify
| believe that If it hadn't been for those pills
| would have been dead years ago.
"Yes, still have slight reminder Of the
| last attack six years ago. My left arm is
| not as strong as the other and my left foot
| drags little, as the paralysis had the effect
of deadening the nerves. But / can still
| walk a good distance, talk as easily as ever,
and my general health Is splendid. am
really over seventy years old, although !
am generally taken to be twenty years
younger than that.
ssThe Pink Pills keep my blood in good
| condition, and believe that Is why ! am 80
well, although cheerfulness may help.
II have thought Of 1t great many times
and honestly believe that the Pink Pills
have saved my life"
Mr. Ware has every appearance of per-
| fectly healthy man, and arrives at his Office
promptly at eight o'clock every morning,
| although he has reached an age when many
| men retire from active life. His experience
| Is well known to great many people in
| Boston, where his constant cheerfulness
has won him hosts of friends. He says that
in his opinion both his father and grandfa-
| Their could have been saved IL Pink Pills
| had been obtainable at that time.

Coin Made of Tree Gum.

The mint officials" of the Malayan
peninsula claim the distinction of
coming" the most unique piece of
money now is use in the world. This
curious coin" is simply thin disk or
wafer of hardened vegetable gum, the
original source Of supply being the
bola tree and bluff Of emory sand.
Dozens of trusty officials are constant
ly employed in collecting bola gum
and sitting and pounding the sand
which is to be used as ALLOY" The
coins so struck are not only unique
and curious on account of the material
used in their composition, but because
they have the least commercial or ex-
change value of any medium of barter
known among either civilized or saw
age men. No other piece Of money"
in existence can be acquired with such
a small expenditure of time or goods
as the bola gum "coin," consequently
such pieces are valued very lightly by
those unlucky enough to oome into
possession of few millions of such
disks. 1t is almost impossible for an
American whose ideas of minimum
money value are associated with the
cent piece to frame very definite con-
ception of the small value of this
standard Of exchange. We consid-
err the cent piece as being of no
particular consequence, yet it could be
readily exchanged for five thousand
freshly-minted bola gum coins and a
twenty-dollar gold piece could be
traded even for whole ship load of
such mediums of barter and ex-
change. st. Louis Sepublic.

Other Authorizes Issue

2S WASHINGTON, Dec. 24--The house
Republicans will introduce on the day
after Christmas, and pass within the
week two bills in response to President
Cleveland's message Of appeal for help
for the treasury. One Of these two will
be tariff bill to increase the. revenue,
the other financial plan to maintain
the gold reserve and prevent alleged ex.
listing trouble with the greenbacks.
This party plan has been perfected by
two meetings Of the Republican mem
bers Of the ways and means committee.
Although strong efforts were made to
preserve secresy concerning the details
ct the plan, its features have been OBJ
tanned from unquestionable authority.
The tariff bill will go into effect
$f When Signed by the President,
* he signs it, and will remain in effect
until Aug. /, 1895, when, by it's provis-
ions, its operation will cease. Its items
follow:
A duty on wool of 60 per cent of the
Mckinley law rates.
A compensatory duty on woollen
goods OF 60 per cent Of the Mckinley
law rates. IA,
"A duty of 90 per cent of thSErate OF
1890 on leather, which will be from 10
to 20 per cent ad valorem.
An increase Of rs per cent from the
Wilson German act rates on cereals,
$breadstuffs, dairy products and live
stock, including poultry.
$ A horizontal increase of Is per cent
from the Wilson German rates Oh all
other schedules, with the provision that
in no case shall the duty exceed the Nc
5Kinley rates, except where the Wilson
German rates exceed those Of the Nc
SKinley law.
S XII. Provides For II Bond Issue.
The second bill will provide for two
issues of bonds. The first one will be
an unlimited amount Of 8 per cent 5.
year coin bonds, to protect the gold re-
serve, with the provision that the cur
rency redeemed by the proceeds shall
not be paid out for current deficits in
stherevenues, unless the expenses of the
government are in excess of the rev.
enues (Which it is expected they will
not be if the first bill is in operation).
In addition, the second bill will pro
vide for 1-year 2 per cent treasury GER
tifcates Of Indebtedness, not to exceed
$4,000, 900 in amount, and to be dis
posed Of at the discretion of the secre-
tary Of the treasury to meet current de-
jfcits in the revenue. These are to be
