THE MAN WHO LIVED.
He should have been dead.
But he wasn't, because

"There's nothing succeeds like success"
There is no withstanding the living argu-
ment of the man who should be dead, who
isn't dead, but who would be dead, but for
a preserving medicine. That's about the
way it seemed to strike Editor Lawrence,
of the Ohio Farmer, Cleveland, Ohio. He
was afflicted with one of those colds that
have, thousands of times over, eliminated
in consum ption, when not promptly cured
In this condition he met a friend, con-
sumptive, whom he had not expected to
see alive. The consumptive friend recon-
mended DR.. ]. c. Ayers Cherry Pectoral
for the EDITORS cold, on the ground that it
had /" helped him wonderfully" 1t helped
the editor Just as wonderfully, giving
"a1most instant relief" But read his
letter:
"About two months ago, was afflicted
with bad cold, and meeting a friend, he
advised the use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral
which, he claimed, had helped him won

this preparation. I accordingly bought a

remedy."-W. H. LAWRENCE, Editor, The
Ohio Farmer, Cleveland, Ohio.
Keep bottle of DR.. Ayers Cherry Pee
toral handy, on the desk, in the Office, on
the shelf or in the closet at home, and you
will have at hand remedy that is capable
at any time of saving you suffering, money,
and even life. There is no malady so
prolific of evil results a neglected cold.
There is no medicine promptly effective
in curing cold and absolutely eradicating
its effects, as DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral
Every traveller should carry it. Every
household should keep it. 1t cures every
variety of cough, and all forms of lung
and throat trouble. Asthma, bronchitis,
Group, and whooping cough, are promptly
cured by it, aud it has in many cases over
come pulmonary diseases in aggravated
forms, when all other remedies failed to
help and physicians gave no hope of cure.
Those who for convenience have wanted

The New Hog.

In these days when everything
new" even including the, new wo-
man." is being discussed, it may not
be amiss to put in word about
the new hog, says Western Swineherd.
We have seen in the year just closing
zoo pounds of pork standing up on its
toes worth more in the market than
zoo pounds of pork put up in oak slaves
and hickory hoops. There is evidently
a change of taste coming about, and
the lard hog seems to have had his
days. The boys who were down on the
Potomac and who marched with Sher-
man to the sea, and who thought slice
OF raw SOW belly on steel armored
bareback a meal fit for the gods-of
WARFARE being gathered to their faith
ers, and while the present generation
has, we trust, inherited their patriotism
IL mas evidently missed inheriting their
taste by several points. The lard hog
was war measure and to his glory be
1t said he filled and important part in
that struggle. With the stubbornness
characteristic of him, whether he goes
on two legs or four; he held his ground
OF vantage long after his supreme use
tulness had departed. He never con-
fessed his waning popularity till cot
ton seed oil entered the lists against
MIN and won over the pastry cooks.
But he has served his country and
served it well. and in memory we will
ever hold him dear. The new hog, if
We may call that new which is old, is
the bacon hog-on authority of the sec
rotary of Agriculture himself Fifty
years ago we had him in all his glory.
He bred and fed in the forest, fast
nesses and in the wilds unutilized by
other animals domestic. He had sides
like cottonwood plank with deep saw
marks, nose that would have won
him marshall's rank under Bonaparte,
hams that resembled an exaggerated
baseball bat and shoulders according
He produced two streaks of lean to one
OF rat, and there was a gamey flavor to
his flesh that yet brings the water to
the mouth of those who have Toasted
on the delicacy. He stood age well
and was as good at four years old as
"I AOuA u1OuIuS. LII dill IuG SdIAuI VI
meats nothing was superior to the pork
OF the acorn-cracker and the prairie
rooter of our grandmothers' days. We
won't have him back in the new hog,
they say. And the problem now is,
how to produce him profitably. The
commercial instinct is too strong with
in us to abandon the lard hog which
produces 800 pounds at nine months old
for the bacon hog that will yield no
greater weight six months later, pro-
vided the bacon hog doesn't command
a price that will justify it, But we
want the trade of our European neigh
bors and they want bacon hog. The
problem that confronts us is, can we
make the bacon hog at fair profit; il
we can the new hog will be forthcQm-
ing. 1t is not the ''know how" that is
lacking, but is the incentive. We are
ready to supply the market with what
is wanted provided it pays to do so, and
that's all there is to it. So far the
bacon hog has not climbed far enough
ahead of the general market to justify
much expenditure of energy in produc-
ing the new hog, but the trend of sent1-
ment indicates that he may do so at
no distant day.

Sailing Cows,-Salting the cows is
one of the little things that is some
times lost sight of under the pressure
of other, and what is regarded as more
important work, but trial recently
made at the Mississippi experiment sta
ton, indicates that inattention to this
point may be rather expensive over
sight. Three COWS were kept WITHOUT
salt for four weeks, and their milk rec
ord kept during the last two weeks OF
this period; then they were given the
usual allowance of salt for two weeks,
and on comparing the milk records it
was found that the cows gave 454
pounds Of milk during the first period
when salt was withheld and 564
pounds during the second, when salt
was furnished, a difference Of ITO
pounds of milk in two weeks in favor
of salting.-Ex.

Ice Water in Winter.

There is no more reason why ice
water should be given to fowls in win
ter than to other stock. Too often we
know all kinds of stock on farm re-
ceive only ice water, but this should
never be so. It is always easy to give
the fowls warm or tepid water, at least
in the morning. 1t will not only help
the egg supply, but it will tend to pre-
vent indigestion. Who knows what eff
fects may result from carelessness in
this matter? Then, too, j. the water
be warmed it will not freeze SO soon
on cold days and can thus be left till
the hens have all taken what they want
and even till it is more convenient to
remove it. Water is necessary for the
digestion of food and acts as a gen
eral carrier It is therefore necessary
to supply it in considerable quantities.
When it is tepid or warm the fowls
will drink far more than when it is
icy cold,
Roquefort Cheese Deteriorated.-Fo,
many years epicures have delighted in
the flavor of Roquefort cheese, which
was made from the milk of ewes, fed
in pastures containing an abundance of
wild thyme. AS the trade increased,
the thyme-clad banks of the Larnac
and Ayeyron failed to yield sufficient
pasturage, so the f1ocks were fed in
grassy meadows, where they produced
more milk, but of inferior quality. The
cheesemakers, spoiled by prosperity,
took to the practice of mixing cows
milk with that of the ewes, and then
deteriorated their product still further
by artificially ripening the cheese. The
result is that buyers now look askance
at so-called Roquefort cheese, and a
business which formerly provided en-
ployment for over 100000 people is at a
standstill, with little hope of revival.
The Roquefort cheese makers, like the
misguided manufacturers of filled
cheese in this country, will realize that
it is necessary to maintain a standard,
as well as to attain it.-Rural New
Yorker.
Color of Butter.-A New York but
ter man says: The color of the butter
is OF great Importance. For years there
was prevailing opinion that consum-
ers wanted deep yellow, almost red
dish color to their butter, and butter
makers tried to give them just what
they wanted. But this requirement, if
it ever existed, has changed very much,
and there is now a growing demand for
pale color. High colored butter does
not look well at best, and the addition
of so much coloring matter imparts a
foreign favor Our home jobbers sell
dom complain of too light color, and
the constant call from the export trade
is for pale butter. Il can't under
stand" said well known shipper re-
Gently, why the Americans persist in
painting their butter red" This is a
defect too easily remedied to exist any
longer, and it should claim the atten-
ton Of our buttermakers at once.

Not More Crea meries but Better Cows.
G. L. Hubbell: What we want is less
creameries and more and better COWS.
II half the creameries in Iowa were
to be permanently closed to-day there
would still be enough to do all the bus
mess, and in expenses alone there
would be saved at least So 900 per day,
or $1,00O,000 annually. This amount
would be added to the profits of the
producer, besides the gain through i'm
proved quality. No, we as a state can
not afford to spend any more money
in creamery buildings and machinery,
but if the business is to grow in Iowa
let our surplus be spent in increasing
our herds and improving our methods
to the end that the cost of production
may be made less and not more.
creamery which makes 100000 pounds
of butter per annum will make the
dairy business much more profitable to
the producers than could three cream
cries on the same territory. Concen-
tration, Capitalization and true cO-ope-
ration are the conditions that must
hereafter be observed to show any
profit in the COW.
