A Complete Cure Effected by
Hoods SarsapariIIa
Now Enjoying the Best Of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.

My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over d year.
She was unable to stand for any length
OF time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was 80 weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods sarsapariIla. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
: persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can cat almost anything she wishes. She

The Kansas Hen.

We have read of Maud on summer
day, who raked, .barefooted, the new
mown hay; we have read OF the maid
in the early morn, who MIXED the COW
with the crumpled horn; and we've
read the lays that the poets sing, OF
the rustling corn and the flowers OF
spring; but of all the lays of tongue
or pen, there's naught like the lay OF
the Kansas hen. Long, long before
Maud rakes her hay, the Kansas hen
has begun to lay, and ere the milk
maid stirs peg, the hen is up and has
dropped her egg; the corn must rustic
and flowers spring If they hold their
own with the barnyard ring. II Maud
is needing hat and gown, she doesn't
hustle her hay to town, but goes to the
score and obtains her suit with bas-
ketful of her fresh hen fruit: If the
milkmaid's beau makes a Sunday call,
she doesn't feed him on milk at all,
but works up eggs in a custard pie,
and stuffs him full of chicken fry;

corn? Not much! He simply robs a
1est, and to town he goes-yoQ know
he rest. He hangs around with the
cliques and rings, and talks of politics
and things, while his poor wife stays
at home and scowls, but is saved from
want by those selfsame fowls; for,
while her husband fingers there, she
watches the cackling hens with care,
and gathers eggs, and the eggs she'll
hide till she saves enough to stem the
tide. Then hail, all hail, to the Kansas
aen, the greatest blessing Of all to
men! Throw up your hats and emit
howl for the persevering barnyard
fowl! Corn may be king, but it's plain
ly seen the Kansas hen is the Kansas
queen. Topeka Mail and Breeze.

The incision healed rapidly, and at
the time Of the autopsies there was
no evidence of local LESSONS or any
effect which might have been due di-
rectly to the mechanical part of the
inoculations.
A number of other guinea pigs have
been inoculated with different samples
OF oleomargarine, but at this writing
(after eight months) have not con-
tracted disease from the oleomargarine
incubation. Two of the samples
which caused disease in the animals
were made at factory where the ma
terial used may have been question
able in character.
Our incubation experiments show
conclusively that disease may be COM
municated by means of oleomargarine.
The objection might be raised that dis
ease could also be communicated in
the same way by butter. 1t is, how
ever, very simple and easy matter to
pasteurize the cream before churning.
The temperature of pasteurization is
unfavorable for oleo-oil manufacture.
: The statements of most authorities
lave been to the effect that oleomar-
garine is good and digestible and
healthful, provided it is made from
pure material and the process is prop
erly conducted. The legitimate and
safe manufacture of oelomargarine can
be secured, therefore, only when there
is careful and safe control and inspec-
ton at the abattoirs and oleomargar-
Iine factories Of both the finished pro-
duct and the constituents which enter
into its manufacture. Then, too, all
the oleomargarine should be sold as
Oleomargarine, and should have some
thing distinctive about its appearance
absence Of color, as Massachusetts,
demands, OF a specially bright color;
and every pound Of it should be care
fully inspected at the factories before
being shipped, to see that the par
ticular distinctive character is prae-

standard Varieties of Chickens

The Partridge Cochin is beautiful
yet difficult fowl to breed, and in plum
age is much after the pattern of the
Dark Brahma, the color being red and
brown, instead Of the steel-gray erect
of the latter. The head Of male in col
or is bright red hackle, bright red or
orange red, with distinct black stripe
down the center of each feather; saddle
feathers same as hackle; breast and
body rich deep black wing bows, red;
primaries, black on inside web, with
a bay edging on the outside web; sec
ondaries, black en- the inside web and
rich bay on the outside web, termina-
ting with greenish-black at the end OF
each feather; wing coverts, greenish-
black, forming a well-defined bar OF
that color across the wing when folded;
tail, black; sickles, coverts and lesser
coverts glossy greenish-black; the lat
ter may be edged with red; thighs,
black; shanks, yellow and we'll covered
with black or brownish feathers, the
middle toes being also well feathered.
The female is the prettier OF the two.
Her head is small and of rich brown
plumage, with a stout, well-curved
beak, yellow in color. Her eyes are
bay and mild in expression. The head
is ornamented with a small single
comb set perfectly straight upon the
head and bright red in color. The
wattles are small, well-rounded and
fine in texture; the earlobes are well
developed and are also fine in texture.
The neck is neatly curved, with album
dant hackle flowing we'll over the
shoulders. The plumage is bright red
or orange red, with broad black stripe
down the middle of each feather. The
black stripe in good feather should
run to point near the end of the
feather. This stripe should be free
from penciling, but the standard per-
mits slight penciling of the black. A
good back and cushion helps make the
bird. Her back should be broad and
fiat, the broader the better, and the
cushion should rise with gentle con-
vex curve and partially cover the tail.
Trained Butter-Makers Wanted
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1897-07-30

Colonel Ligget and Professor Hacker
unite in saying that Minnesota butter
interests are handicapped because our
butter makers lack training and expert
ence. They say that butter maker
ought to have two years training in a
factory before they enter the agricul-
tural college, and then ought to act as
assistant in a creamery for another
year before taking full charge. There
certainly is little inducement for
young man to spend two years in study
at his own expense, for business
which pays scarcely better than any
trade in which even apprentices receive
wages. But we believe that trained but
ter makers will command an increase
of salary sufficient to compensate them
for their expense in preparation. If
they can not, then the training is a
waste of time and money.-Northwest

Proper Food for Horses.

We talk about the loss in the horse
business from one cause or another,
but the most mischief comes from the
want Of proper food, says an exchange.
This means Il SIS to the horse and great
er loss to the farmer. good per cent
Of the horses seen on the streets of any
town show insufficient or unbalanced
food supply. Horses that have been i'll
fed when young are almost invariably
small, long-legged, light-carcassed and
narrow-chested Some of them have
a great deal Of energy, but all are soon
exhausted, unfit for protracted exer-
ton. Grown-up horses, when much re-
duced by deficient nourishment, require
more food to put them into working or
der than would have kept them for
two or three months in the condition
they require to possess when going in
to work. When horse is starved, be-
sides losing strength and flesh, his
bowels get full of worms and his skin
covered with lice. Very often he takes
mango, and sometimes he does not
mOult, or the hair falls suddenly and
entirely off. leaving the skin nearly
bald for long time. The skin of an
ill-fed horse is always rigid, sticking
to the ribs, and the hair dull, staring,
soft, deadlike. If not famished to
death they recover strength and ami
nation with good and sufficient feed
ing, hut starvation always spoils the
shape of a growing horse.

American Ostrich Farm. The Amer
lean ostrich farm at South Pasadena,
Cal, was established in 1884, forty-two
ostriches Deing imported in sailing
vessel from South Africa, and requiring
three months for the voyage. Since
then over 800 birds have been raised,
and the flock is increasing at the rate
of about 100 chicks yearly. The aver
age life of an ostrich is about 70 years,
the food fed in California consisting
mostly of alfalfa and sugar beets. The
eggs weigh about three pounds each;
the infertile ones are blown, and OBJ
tain a ready sale as souvenirs. The
feathers are plucked every nine months
and are graded into their various
lengths and colors, varying in price
after processing according to the style
in vogue from IS to 800 per pound,
the latter for the long white plumes
taken from the wings. Only those on
the wings and tail are plucked. The
body feathers are shed once year, and
are gathered in the corrals. Every
feather has selling price.-Ex.

Mr.. r. Lindsay Coleman, ex-president OF
the National Cycle Board of Trade, and
president of the Western Wheel Works, in
speaking ON the cut in bicycles, says:
This cut in the price of 800 wheels has
occasioned no surprise. We expressed the
opinion five years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeay-
oring to maintain a fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed on Crescents would become the
standard price for other high grade wheels.
Gone of the secrets of the success of the
Western Wheel Works is, that we not
only guarantee our wheels, but we guaran-
tee our prices as well, and the purchaser
of a Crescent in February has the satissac-
ton of knowing that his neighbor who
purchased a Crescent in July paid the
same price as he did.
81 do not anticipate that a still further
reduction in the price of bicycles will DO
made this year.

feet long, three feet wide and twenty
five inches deep will hold 27.S bushels
of ear corn or 50.2 bushels of shelled
corn. A crib ten feet wide, ten feet
high and sixteen feet long will hold III
bushels of ear corn. OF ear corn one
bushel is contained in two and a quar-
ter cubic feet. In figuring shelled corn
and grain, the same space will hold
one and four-fifths times as much grain
as it will of ear corn. A crib that win

In conclusion analyses are given OF
a number OF samples of oelomargarine
and Of butter. The melting point OF
the oleomargarine was about 10 de-
grees c. lower than that of butter and
several of the samples contained con-
siderable cotton-seed oil. The pres
ence of an abnormally large amount of
albuminoids in a number of samples
of the oleomargarine points to a con-
tamlpation with animal fiber and in
dicates that the material used was not
nure."

This noted institution of learning en-
tiers upon its fifty-fourth year with the
next session, commencing Sept. z. 1897.
Parents and guardians contemplating
sending their boys and young men
away from home to school would do
well to write for particulars 10 the Uni

making arrangements for their educa-
ton elsewhere. Nowhere in this broad

Feet Of the Sheep.-Keep an eye on
the sleeps feet. They should be
trimmed regularly and kept in good
condition. This is done by pairing off
the surplus growth of the horn, which
will otherwise turn under the feet,
gathering filth, which rots the sole and
causes lameness. By neglect, this is
quite possible to turn into the con-
tagious foot rot by incubation by the
virus-which may come we know not
whence, but it is in the air-and then
cause serious trouble.-Ex.

Rice for Fowls.

Rice is said by those who have tried
it. to be the very best of food for fowls,
and that it possesses more fattening
qualities than corn. In the Carolinas
and the rice growing regions of the
south, rice meal or broken rice can be
purchased from one-fourth to one-half
cent per pound, and is largely used as
feed in those sections. Poultry men
within easy reach of the southern or
gulf seaboard can thus get a cheap
poultry food at small cost for freight.
Rice will never produce diarrhoea in
fowls or animals like some grains, but
will check it when produced by other
causes. With broken rice, kattir corn
and wheat, we not only have a good
ration for chicks, but an ideal food for
broiers-S Southern Fancier.

proved fatal, causing the death OF the
animal in the one instance In two
months: in the other, in two weeks
An examination showed the lungs con-
gested, the liver soft and pale, one OF
the kidneys badly congested, and dis
tinct ulcers in the intestines, like ty-
phoid-fever ulcers. The bladder was
distended and the urine albuminous.
At the present writing the nature OF
this disease has not been determined,
but the fatal effects were produced by
the oleomargarine. Another guinea
pig inoculated with sample of oleo
oil, taken from lot used in the man
ufacture of oleomargarine, died within
three weeks, the autopsy showing bad
ly congested lungs, liver dark, blood
vessels congested, and the small 1ntes-
tines containing bloody mucus.
Five months after incubation with
another sample of oleomargarine, the
pig which had been used for the expert
ment was chloroformed for examina-
ton. The animal was in fair condi-
ton, but the left lung showed incipient
tuberculosis, and this disease was also
apparent in the spleen, and there were
several calcareous tubercular nodules
adherent to the sternum. A prepare
ton made from this same sample had
shown the presence of a germ which
could scarcely be anything but the tu-
berculosis bacillus. The result of the
incubation confirmed this diagnosis.
The NEGOTIATIONS Of all the animals
were made by introducing in the side
bit of fat the size Of small pea.
