For sALE-Five Jersey milk COWS.
Kuox l. JOHNSON, foot Of MsgoMp Ave.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1897-04-17
DAIRY SUGGESTIONS,

Mix of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With COWS long in milk the butter
will come slowly.
The only way to keep COWS is to keep
them perfectly clean.
The oleo law has been sustained in
West Virginia by the supreme court OF
that state. The law requires that oleJ
be colOred pink, and for n violation of 1t
by selling it in the guise of butter a fine
of 500 and costs was imposed. An ap-
peal affirmed the decision.
At ten cents a bushel. potatoes do not
pay the grower, but they will pay the
dairyman who purchases them at that
price to feed his mich cows. Farmers
who are hauling potatoes out to the field
to be used as fertilizers will find 1t will
pny better to first put them through live
stock.
Water cools the milk much more
rapidly, says a writer, than air will do,
and on this account the water setting
must be used in the winter as well as
the summer. 1t would be a simple mat
ter to set the water to be used out of
doors to get cold before putting it in
the tank.

Opium and WHISKY Habits.

The letter quoted below, written March
%, 1896, by the editor and manager Of the

to doubt that a successful treatment for
the cure of the liquor habit exists:
"Dr. B. NJ. Woolley, Atlanta, Ga: Your
antidote for the liquor habit will do all you
claim for it. After drinking whisky for
more than twenty years l find myself en-
tirely relieved of the accursed appetite
through the use of three bottles of your
medicine. 1t is absolutely q specific for the
liquor habit, and leaves NJ bad effects.
"E. NJ. RAGLAND."

and never had any call for opium after
taking the first dose of your Antidote. You

ter. Yes, and my name, also. Any one
may write to me if they wish to know OF

efficacy of the Antidote, and if they en-.

the present system to be wrong; other
wise they would show their faith by
their works; they would no longer feel
justified in performing 50 worth Of
labor on the farm one day, and $1.50
worth on the road the next.
We have long stood with those who
think the Dad tax should be collected
in money. and have paid cash for several
years, but under the present system of
road management it cannot always be
applied to the best advantage.
In some sections even where great
claims were made for the ~"naturaiiy
good" condition of the roads, the bouI!-
tiful crops sometimes lie unmoved
through a period of high prices, simply
because the naturally bad condition of
the roads at certain seasons of the year,
forbids the hauling of loads. Farmers
study and plan. and work. to increase
productions; they study the law of sup
ply and demand; they watch the mar
kets hat they may be enabled to sell
their produce when prices are best;
in short, they, many of them, do their
part as well, as far as their own private
business is concerned. On the other
hand, the railroads and elevators are
ever ready to do their part, as far as
their private business of handling the
farmers produce is concerned. Under
these conditions what is to hinder the
intelligent farmer from always pushing
his produce into market at such time as

weakness of the connecting link-the
highway-the one thing over which the
people have full control. There are
times when the farm is practically
much farther from the nearest village
than the village il from the great mart
to which it is tributary, and until the
weak link is made strong. farming will
not be as generally profitable as it
otherwise would be.-The Epitomist.

THE KAvA-kAvA SHRUB anu pIOOdDiy was
(Piper Ae,hystieum.) used for centuries
by the natives before Its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries In South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
1t is a wonderful discovery, with a rec
ord of 400 hospital cures in 90 days. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is a true specific, just as quiz
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of the
gospel, well known doctors and business
men cured by A1kavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
In the New York Wteky Ho,H of Sept. 10th,
the testimony of Rev. W. B. Moore. D: D., OF
years 81 suffering from Kidney disease and
Rheumatism. and his rapid cure by Alkavis.

gravel stones after two weeks use of Alkavis.
Rev. John H Watson, ofSunsetT Texas, q minister
of the gospel of thirty years service. was struck
down at his post of duty by Kidney disease.
After lowering between life and death for two
months, and all his doctors having failed. he
took Alkavis, and was completely restored to
health and strength, ana IS IuI ilInS HISdELSSaS
minister of the gospel. Mr.. re Wood. q prom.
incnt attorney of Lowell, Indiana. was cured OF
Rheumatism. Kidney and Bladder disease OF ten
years standing, by Alkavis. MT.Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often COM
PEELED to rise ten times during the night on
account of weakness of the bladder. He was
treated by all his home physicians without the
least benefit and finally completely cured in a
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is I'M
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James
Young. of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried
sig doctors in vain, that she was about to give
up in despair, when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
TO health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis IN the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. ara Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send a free treatment
of A1kavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma-
tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain in Back,
Female Complaints, Or other affection
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
erers to send their amt and address
to the company, and receive the A1kavis
free. It is sent to you entirely free. to
prove its wonderful curative powers.
