soon pays its own cost in the
saving of ice. If your old one
is worn out let us replace it
with a new one. Do not eX-
pertinent with make of which
the qualities are unknown, but
get one that has stood the test of
time, and can be guaranteed to
give satisfaction. The first cost
may be trifle higher, but it
pays in the end to buy only the
best.
1t is the same with
ICE CHESTS.
Some are so arranged that they
will keep ice; others con-
stantly need refilling. We have
the best, and in all sizes, from
the very smallest to the larg one

10 do is to tag, and the ewes should be
tagged before lambing time, at least
two weeks. The wool should be cut
clean, so that the droppings will not
touch it. This is hard to do with the
sheep lying on the floor or bench. We
have constructed a bench (see cut). so
that the holder can set the sheep with
rump on the bench at ., the holder sit
ting back On the bench at B, with his
feet on the rung 1, holding the sheep
by the hind legs, so that it is in about
the same position as if it was standing
up. In this position we can tag them
perfectly. We nave a basket setting I'M
der the end of the bench at 2, to catch
the wool. The other end of the bench
can be fixed the same, so it will accom-
modate two taggers.
When turning out on grass we give
our sheep a full feed of hay in the
morning until they getused to the grass.
Turn them on the grass for a few hours
the first day. and so on for a few days,
not giving them any salt to speak of,
and they will 500 go wholly on the
grass and not scour much. The prin-
cipal care for the rest of the season is
watching them, to keep them clean.
BY so doing we outgeneral the flies and

r MISCELLANY.

Plan to grow more grass and clover.
Study the requirements of the soil
as well as of the market.
Select the crops with respect to their
a~daptability to the farm.
1t is no only an item to increase
quantity but to improve the quality of
the crops.
Colts should be trained to walk fast
before attempting to improve them in
any other gait.
On the farm, Is in any other line of
business, it is an item to save labor
and economic time.
Manure adds to the productiveness of
land as soon as it is applied, but all of
the substances will not be used IN in
one season.
The farm products should be put in
the form in which they will bring the
most money and yet leave the farm
in the o productive condition.
While the farm may not always show
large returns in the way of cash, yet
with good management the farmer NAV
be reasonably sure of a good living.
Continuous cropping without making
an adequate return to the soil impover-
ishes the land and in the end will leave

The lamb makes more money for the
raiser when shipped alive than in any
other way. When the tender youngsters
are fit for the market and to be forward
ed by themselves the car should be
boarded up tight. Have plenty of feed
ard water in the car. Would advise
cornneal as a feed, placed where the
animal could nibble the same at will.
If shipped with their cams they should
not be separated. In case only a few
are sent on at time they should be
placed in a roomy box or crate and
shipped by express, so that they will
not lose their best qualities by being on
the road too long.-Dakota Field and

A LEGACY OF DISEASE.
Veterans of the War Repaid in
Sickness
Abasha Risk Only Lives Because He
Persevered-Sunered Since the
War With kidney Disease.
From the News, St. John. Kansas

From the News, st. John, kansaS
livery citizen OF st. John, Kansas, Is &C.
luainted with Abasha Risk, one OF the old
Veterans of the late war and resident of
this city. A few months ago hewas a COM
plete physical wreck, from kidney trouble
and diarrhoea, almost unable to get around
at all. lou correspondent, who had learned
he had found relief, meeting him on the
street recently, asked if he wouldn't give
him all the facts, as he was interested, as
were also all his friends. Mr.. Risk said
he was only too glad to let the people in
general and his old comrades In particular,
(who he knew were suffering from COM
plants similar to hls), know what had bene-
fitted him..
He then made the following statement:
Il had been suffering for years from a
complication of diseases, among them KID
ney and liver trouble and chronic diarrhoea.
The greatest trouble OF all, however, was
the complete wreck of my nervous system,
resulting from my service in the army. L
was, III fact, IN 4 most terrible and deplor-
able condition. l tried every remedy l
could hear OF without the least beneficial
results, until | saw a testimonial of an "old
veteran who was in the same regiment
with me during the war with whom l was
well acquainted), stating that he had been
cured of a similar complaint by the use of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. l had almost
given up hope, but concluded at last to give
Pink Pills a trial, as they might possibly
help me. l began using them and soon
commenced to feel slightly better; my i'm
provement was very slow, however, but still
it was noticeable, and this was encouraging.
In the course of about three weeks my. con-
dition was vastly improved. To the present
time | have taken Is boxes of Pink Pills,
and can truthfully say | believe | am en-
tlrely cured of my liver and kidney trouble,
and nearly SO of my diarrhoea. My nervous
trouble, too, is so much better that | am
sure a cure will be entirely perfected in a
short time.
my wife also used the Pink Pills with
great benefit. Her blood was in an ex-
tremely bad condition. Since using the pills,
however, this condition has entirely disap-
Feared. l consider DR.. Williams Pink Pills
the most marvellous discovery of the age. /
canno say too much in their praise"

was their efficacy that IT was deemed wise to

TURKEYS FOR MARKET.
Birds of Medium Size Always Sell at
a Satisfactory Price.

We can offer a pointer on marketing
turkeys that we discovered while buy
ing Christmas turkeys in the city mar
ket, and that is the superiority of the
medium-sized turkeys orer % 10 24-
Founders. as sellers. People, as n rule,
do not want enough turkey at one time
to lay a banquet spread, and eonse-
quently they pick for something small,
or not exceeding medium in size.
The hen turkeys always sell first,
simply because they are mere suited in
size 10 the wants of The ordinary family.
Then the smaller gohblers so. and lastly
the pride Of the :iock-the biggest tom
in the lot-and he usually goes at a dis
count of two or three cents i pound less
than the lesser weights.
4 turkey that weighs from ten to tif-
teen pounds dressed is plenty large
enough. The people don't want 4 tur-
key as big as : hog, but they do want a
fat turkey.
1t seems to US that there is z good
deal of room for Improvement in breed
ing turkeys for the market. That a
bird shorter IN legs and neck and very
full in the breast would be more desira-
bic. One that would be meaty and
plump. and capable OF taking on a great
deal of fat.
The heavy weight. tall, rawboned
toms that weigh 25 to 10 pounds may be
suited to a barbecue feast, but they are
not the kind that the man with an or
dinary-sized market basket looks for
when he goes to the city market.
There would be more demand and
better sale for turkeys all the year
through if they were grown more with
a view to compact body. meat and fat,
than for large size and coarse structure.

THE FARMING WORLD.
A SPLENDID M

French Law Which should Be Intro,
duced in Thfs ,
In an article on the necessity of sound
fires for horse breeding, a contempt
rary says: Every stallion in France
standing for public service must have a
government veterinary certificate"
Here is an excellent suggestion for rem
dering such service to horse breeders
just now, when they are awakening to
the fact that sound, well-bred animals
will fetch higher prices in the near fu-
ture than they have in the past; al
though those who ought to know, on
tend that at no time, even during h
depression through which we have
passed or are now passing, have horses
possessing real merit been a drug on the
market, or fetched any but fair prices.
These dealers, whose opinions are en-
TITLED to full credit, are unanimous in
stating that there is n dearth of good
horses in the country; and should the
demand at all equal their expectations
there will be a general desire on the
part of those who have dams suitable
for the purpose, to breed TO suit the an
ticipated demand. With no particular
leaning for parental government, it
seems that just here is where 4 little pa
t~ernalism would come in to public ad-
vantage. 1t is entirely possible, in every
state where horse-raisirg can be con-
Quoted proitably, and where n board of
agriculture is established with n veter-
mary department affiliated with it, for
such n board to issue a certificate of
soundness to every stallion owner seek
ing public patronage for his horses
service. This certificate would be an
immense safeguard for the breeder
for not one in twenty horsemen are
competent to pass confidently upon a
horses constitution. The possession Of
the certificate would enable the owner
70 offer the services of the horse at n
reasonable fee, inasmuch as he would
be in greater demand for his certified
soundness: at the same time the want of
warranty would drive unsound animals
out of the market and out of competi-
ton. But even if farmers were asked to
pay higher fees thar they have been ac-
customed to pay, the guarantee that the
sire was sound would be worth the
money. The idea offers a suggestion
to some individual or association to
take up what is undoubtedly an inn
portant subject.-Journal of Agrlcul'

OF o
Deep Working Is Said to Serve No
Good Purpose Whatever.

Oeep Working Is said to Serve No
Good Purpose Whatever.
All tillage of crops should be shall
low. The time to go deep is when the
ground is plowed in the fall. Deep
tillage of a growing crop serves no good
purpose whatever, while it is very i'll
furious to the plants. 1t is folly to move
the soil in which the roots of 4 plant
are growing unless it is desired to check
the growth of the plant. What is needed
is intelligent shallow tillage. After
every rain the crust that forms on the
surface must be broken up. and any inn
deep will accomplish hat purpose.
During a drought the surface of the soil
gradually packs and forms a crust, and
hence surface or shallow cultivation is
as necessary as after a shower. Shallow
cultivation viii destroy weeds quite as
effectively as deep, while it can be done
with less than n fourth of the labor.
The time to destroy weeds is just waen
they appear above the surface. Thor
ough tillage includes the destruction
of all weeds as soon as they appear.
Neither weeds nor grass of any sort
should be allowed to rob the soil of one
atom of its fertility. This involves
w~atchfulness and labor, but not hard
labor if the right kind of tools are used
and used in time.
Thorough is simply intelligent tillage.
A man must know his soil and then till
it in the manner that experience and
common sense show is best.-Troy IN.
