That our neighboring county, that

evidently the people of good old
Monroe are waking up to the fact
that it is just possible to improve on
some of their Democratic Office
holders, and we will not for a
moment attempt to gainsay that
conclusion When the people of

Prevent

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is "the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.

This subject is frequently dis
oussed and it is asserted that in
times of danger the young snakes
are provided a refuge in the stomach
of the old ones where they curl
themselves up in the form of a ring.
w. P. Miller, of Central Texas, writ
ing in the Agriculturist, says they
have there quite a variety of snakes
and that he has examined all The
varieties found in that section dead
and alive, old and young, in their
native woods, as well as in his hands
and has petted, dissected, skinned
and made careful study of all the
various kinds, but has never found a
single case of a snake swallowing
its young, except for food, and then
they kill them first. He further
says that the highest authorities on
snakes do not record case of
snakes swallowing their young to
protect them. He thinks the young
do not stay with the parent snake
after they are Matched or born, the
watersnakes' young are brought
forth alive, for he has found little
ones which did not seem to be more
than week old.

CARE OF PASTURES.
Great Pains Should BE Taken to Make

Great Pains Should BE Taken to Make
Them Really Profitable.
There is too little estimate in some
quarters on the value of good pastures,
and therefore they are neglected. A
writer on cattle and pastures says: Our
pasture fields are usually selected from
the lands which we think will least re-
paw us for the labor of cultivation, and
SO, because they are comparatively
valueless, we think it will not pay 10
give them the care necessary to make
them of greater value. The stock is
turned loose into these fields to pick up
what it may. If the stock is kept from
starvation by the voluntary growth OF
the pastures, we are apt to consider
ourselves so much ahead, but the stock
kept in this way pays us little real
profit, and the interest charges and
taxes keep on accommodating every year
upon the land. It. is sometimes wise to
select for pastures such portions of the
farm as will least repay cropping.
Sometimes the fields so chosen are I'M
suited by their natural conformation
for profitable cultivation, and SO the
best use to which they can be devoted,
both for the land and the owner, is the
carrying of stock. Sometimes the land
Is too poor to grow profitable crop,
and so it is pastured as means of re-
storing fertility. In either of these
cases the land should have some care,
and pains should be taken to make it
profitable In the line to which circunl-
stances have made it advisable to de-
vote it. Do not get into the habit of
considering that it is only pasture
field, and so treating it as if it could
never be anything else.

LIVESTOCK POINTERS.

A hog without an appetite is like an
engine without steam.
Every animal on the farm should
have good, comfortable bed. Never
pile the bedding up by the manger. 1t
contains ammonia.
II is nov claimed that carrots fed to
young animals make them irritable
and that they make young stations
vicious. We should like to know why?
Still 1t may be fact.
Does it pay to keep swine until the
second year, we are again asked? No,
crowd them to maturity as rapidly as
possible, but remember that young
swine need something besides corn,

HORSES STILL USEFUL.
Farmers Boys Will Find q Colt More
Profitable Than q Wheel

EarmeES' boys VIII HAnu u SoA1 aAoA0
Profitable Than Wheel
In the highest civilization horses are
essential, whether for work or for pleas
ure. City street hauling and farm work
must yet be done in the same old way
with horses. More machinery means
more horses and wagons. In spite of the
bicycles, more carriages and buggies
are made than ever.
The farmer should think twice be-
,ore he invests 500 for wheel for his
boy. Try him with good colt in
stead. In two years the colt will have
eaten about half as much as the wheel
has, and the boy likes him better every
day, because it is growing in value, and
the idea OF profitable investment is i'm
planted.
AS the chances for our western ranges
are continually narrowing, and as our
export trade is continually growing, we
would seem to be surely approaching q
better era for the producer. There may
be ups and downs yet, but these united
conditions must certainly establish
higher range~of value for the future

refused him he declared war, killed the
chief who had declined the honor of be-

the girl after all. Not satisfied with
this much he had the skull of his wife's
father mounted in gold as drinking
cup, and one day, while under the influ-

after milking, the milk should be
strained into tin, or glazed earthen-

Seems to me Lon carries all mis- small

beside Ordelia when he said this, sharp
ening her pencils with his new knife.

"Who's that you're calling foolish p"
asked an awkward boy, who had
plated himself before Ordelia's desk.
She looked up, laughed, and saidi
"Thad says you can't recite word
without that button to twist"
Ions freckled face flushed sensitive
ly. "What'll you bet?" he asked, turn
ing on Thad.
"I'll bet half dollar that you can't
explain one example in mental arith-
metic straight without yanking it all
out of that button of yours"
"All right, I'll bet" said Lon, reckless
". Then he looked down with ruefui
smile at the button in question, which
dangled by frail thread or two from
his coat.
az reckon I'm bound to do without
it," he remarked. "if don't getit sewed
on soon."
"Oh, I'll sew it on for you, if you'll
stop at the house this evening-after
you've won the bet" said ordelia, light
ly.
The news of the challenge went
round, and for once interest was reused
in the mental arithmetic recitation.
''Therefore'-Ordelia thus concluded
her problem-"the man had G01s geese
to begin with" Ending with glib con-
fdence, she folded her hands behind
her, poised lightly on her shapcly feet
and looked with smiling complacency
at the "neXt,"
The "next" was Lon. The whole
school belonged to the mental arithme-
tic class, but of the craning line that
had toed the crack from the water
bucket to the blackboard at the begin
ming of the recitation only three schol-
ars now remained on the floor-Or-
della, Lon and Thad.
"Next!"
Ions slender figure shot up in rigid
attention. He folded his arms reso-
lutely across his breast and waited.
Ordelia, on one side. graceful and
serene, waited, too, and on his other
side stood Thad, his feet widely planted
and his face darl<ly flushed.
The teacher, Miss Molly, read the
problem slowly and distinctly. Lon re-
peated it in clear, defiant voice and
then took up the explanation with con-
fidence. ordelia settled back into her
place and glanced about in triumph.
