Feeding Pumpkins.

Most farmers grow pumpkins either In
their corn o. I'm a separate patcn. but most
" IN corn. They are so easily grown and
have so much value when grown properly
that If they were a new thing and some
scotsman had monopoly on them and
woul1 tell nothing but the simple truth
about them he might make a fortune.
We undervalue them because they are
cheap and common. 1t will not be long now
until IL viii ho time TO commence feeding
them and the value to be received from
them will depend good deal On the way
I'm which they are fed. They are not a COM
plete food in themselves. They are more
than. nine-teuths water, and hence like
roots TOO bulky for a sole food. The nu-
tritive ratio Varies greatly with the quality
and season. but it is not far from TO
a. which makes a very wide ration. Pump
kins should, therefore, PC lea Win more
heterogeneous or narrowed ration; aud this
explains why farmers find the greatest pen-
en- in feeding them TO COWS and young cat
tie on clover. II gives thu philosophy OF
the old method Of feeding pumpkins with
bran, clover and bran both being nitro

"Indgestion is the curse Of this country" says

This Ia all very true, but there Is no reason why
any man or woman should suffer from indiges.

II. Thousands of people have discovered a sure
cure for this much dreaded complaint and some
OF them have given the public the beneht OF
their experience.
Mrs f. Tarlton. 345 Park avenue. Cincinnati.
saws: II had dyspepsia for fifteen years. and
was entirely cured by taking Duffy's pure malt
whskey l had tried almost everything, and
know that this whiskay cures where all others
fail. I am advising all my friends to use It,"

caro. SAYS: II used Duffy's pure malt whskey
for indigestion and dyspepsia. NV stomach Is
now in better condition than 1t has been for
years past. Seven Of my friends are using It
with the same results
These are only two cases selected from thou.

that dyspepsia and indigestion can be always
