Dogs aud Dog Laws.

Many of our states have laws
against sheep-killing dogs, but for
the most part the laws are ineffect-
i've. Why? For a number of reasons,
chief Of which is that the farmer can
not expect to be with his flock all
the time, and if a sheep is killed by a
dog it is not often that proof of the
culprit is forthcoming. Another great
reason why the laws are ineffective
is that few men care to go to war
with their neighbor5. Most men will
stand a great deal Of annoyance and
even loss rather than start a feud
that may be life long. The result is
that farmers discontinue the keeping
Of sheep
The way out of the difficulty is not
plain. A campaign of education is
Standardization for the keepers of
dogs. The fact that the country is
overrun with dogs is the greatest
cause for the slow increase of our
sheep. The people must be impressed
with the truth of the fact that nearly
every dog is an unmitigated nuisance
to the farming community. 1t seems
to-, be instructive with dogs to kill
sheep. There are people who seem to
think their particular dogs are excep-
tons to the rule, but few of the big
dogs are exceptions. In lieu of we'll
developed public opinion we believe
that a properly laid tax would be of
value. A tax of $25 on every female
dog might prove quite effective.
Milk Poisoning.-A case of milk
noisoning in Utica, n. Y, was traced
first to the dealer, whose milk cans
were found to be clean. Then the
health officer looked up the farmer
who supplied the dealer, and found his
cans in a most filthy condition, look
ing he said, as if they had not been
cleaned for week. This is another
fact to indicate the value of the scru-
nulous cleanliness in the handling OF
milk. Another case, traced to the
same cause, was that which occurred
Of Camp Eaton, Island Lake, Mich,
where a number of soldiers were made
violently i'll from drinking milk taken
from cans in every one OF which de-
composed milk was found in the seams
ond crevices of the cans.-EX.
value of Cut Bone.-A pound of cut
oraen bone is sufficient for sixteen
hens one day. which means that one
cent will pay for the bone for
tbo+ number of fowls. If one quart
- Grain be fed at night to sixteen
hons and one pound of bone in the
.,,ornine it should be ample for each
dow in winter. In summer only the
bano need be given. Such diet pro-
r1;dos fat starch, nitrogen, phosphates,
$50 ond all the substances required
~ enable the hens to lay eggs. As an
i worth about three cents in win
ter II is plain that it is cheaper to
80 hone than grain, as the greater
s,lor Of eggs not only reduces the
-. cost but increases the profit as
well.-Ex.

How is Your GripP

Not getting along as well as you ex-
pected? That is the way grip acts
when it is not taken in hand and
driven out OF the system at once.
The poisons left by the grip germs
keep right on destroying the vitality
and undermining the health. You
lose your appetite for food and what
little you eat seems to do no good.
Your nerves are unstrung, you become
weak and exhausted and finally you
are overpowered by some chronic dis
order which takes you to au untlme-
ly grave.
Why should you let the grip run
until it gets such a hold on you when
u few bottles of DR.. Miles Nervine
would fix you up all right? 1t is the
greatest nerve medicine and health
restorer ever known and thousands
of grips victims are linding in it a
safe aud sure means OF regaining lost
strength and vitality.
Il found myself with a very weak
stomach, and every time tried to eat
l would become nauseated, som etimes
beIchlng wind and frequently finding
relief only after vomiting. My nerves
became affected and l was almost
blind for several months. Finally I
began using DIR. Miles Nervine; and
when had used one bottle | was
greatly improved. After taking two
more bottles my stomach trouble was
entirely gone and l have had no re.
turn of the symptoms in over three
years" MRS. L. l.. WINTERS,

of DR.. Miles Nervine, DR.. miles Anti

ton.

4 Mr.. Walker, who is the republican
chairman of the committee on bank
ing and currency, spoke during one
of the closing debates in congress last
week of efforts he had made during
the long series of years to secure
monetary legislation. In this con-
nection he answered published crjti-
cisms of his course and went into an
elaborate explanation of the long
fight in his committee, which re.
suited in the report of the McCleary
bill and its subsequent withdrawal.
Mr.. Walker denounced H. H.
Hanna, and his colleagues, of the
Indianapolis monetary committee.
He said they lobbied about the capt.
toll for alleged currency reform. "The
difficulty with these reformers," said
he, lis that they obtain their facts
from canvass back and terrapin and
their arguments from champagne.
The result is robbery"
DO you expect the next congress, y
interposed Mr.. Johnson, (rep.) of In
diana, ''to enact any banking and
currency legislation worthy of that
name2 1 do not"
IF it does" replied Mr.. Walker,
1T will mean certain defeat for the
republican party. There is more dyn-
amite connected with banking and
currency than any subject ever intro
duced in the house. ANY PARTY THAT
ATTEMPTS A SETTLEMENT OF THE
CURRENCY QUESTION BEFORE THE
SILVER QUESTION is SETTLED WILL
BE swAMPED." And Mr.. Walker
might have added that the silver
question will never be settled until ii
is settled Observation-Disclosures Demo.

Germany's lates move In the Philip
pine waters is shrewd one, The
German government has turned its
interests and lives of German resi-
dents into the keeping of Uncle Sam

States responsible for any damage to
property or loss of life through the
wanton acts of the natives who resent
the usurpation of their territory. The

for slaughter was 21,667, of mules so,
and of donkeys 80, but 734 horses, a
mule, and seven donkeys were con

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
The News and the Political Edi-
tors Disagree,

In the st. Paul Pioneer-PresS of the
4th, among its Geographic dispatches
was one showing the advance in the
price of tin plate since the formation
of trust that takes in the several
plants. We invite attention particu-
larly to the news as given by its
telegraph.edito as follows:
PRICE OF TIN ADVANCES.
Chicago, March 3.-There has been
another advance in tin plate of 10
cents per box, making the price 49, 70.
net advance of 95 cents since the
trust was formed. The market is ex-
sited.
Cleveland, Ohio, March st is
stated that the Britton Tin Plate mill
owned by the Tin Plate trust, which
was closed down ostensibly for re-
pairs some time ago, will not resume,
put Will be permanently closed. Five
hundren men were employed The
object in closing the plant permanent-
~ is to prevent over production.
1t will be observed that 500 men are
thrown out of work by closing the
Britton mill. Also that 95 cents a
box has been added to the price of
tin per box.
The political editor ignoring the
news, and also the fact that the men
thrown out of employment, get no
wages, writes:
During the past week there has
been a general advance in wages, i'm
mediate or prospective. At most
points the advance of 10 per cent or
more was entirely voluntary. 1t has
averaged 5 to 10 per cent in tin plate
works, and about 10 per cent in other
or cases, and as it affects much over
1000 hands it will add greatly to the
purchasing power of the wage earn
ers.n
1t will be further noticed that if
there has been an advance in the
wages of those retained, that the
trusts have made an advance in the
price of their product sufficient to
more than cover the advance alleged
to have been made to those employed.
By entering into trusts the different
mills cease to be comp etitors for bust
ness, and find it unnecessary to ad-
vertise through the papers, thus cur
failing the revenue of publishers, and
imperilling the wages of their en-
ployes.

How To Get a Free Farm.

To the Editor:-It has been so long
since there has been any Government
land left for free settlement in the
older states like Iowa, Illinois and In
diana that there are thousands of
farmers who DO not know that they
have right to secure 100 acres free
from the Government lands by virtue
Of their right rs citizens of the United
States. Every male citizen of the age
of twenty-one years or over, and ev-
cry female of eighteen years or over,
can take 100 acres of Government
land as homestead. To do this set
Element on the land is required; the
person must make a home upon the
land. AT the time of entry at the U.
s. Land Office in the district where
the land is situated, fee of from $1S
to SEP is required for the papers issued
by the Government. After a resi-
dence of five years, the Government
gives deed to the land at the cost of
the final papers which is about SIS
If the settler does not want to wait
five years for his deed, after he or she
lives on the land fourteen months, a
deed can be secured by the payment
of So. so per acre to the Government.
THE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT
to get 100 acre homestead is to take
one of the half rate excursions which
leave on the Northern Pacific Railway
on the first and third Tuesday of each
month for central and western North
Dakota for some one of the stations of
that railway in the localities named.
AS soon as you get there, go at once
into the surrounding country where
the farmers that are already there
will inform you of the land that still
can be taken in their vicinity. After
you have made o selection, go to the
United States Land Office for that
district at Bismarck and ask for a
homestead entry blank. Enter upon
the blank statement that you have
seen the land and subscribed to the
other requirements in it and upon the
payment of the small fee required, a
receipt emitting you to the land will
be issued you. After getting your re-
ceipt you will have six months in
which to make settlement upon the
land. 1t is required that improve
ments of house, barn and cultivation
sufficient to indicate good faith In
making your home on the land be
placed on the land. This on the aver
age homestead costs from $3.50 to 5000
in material and labor. There are still
about eleven million acres of land
open for settlement in the Bismarck,
North Dakota Land district, much Of
it is excellent land.
RAILROAD LANDS.
The Northern Pacific also has a con-
siderable amount of lands consisting
of timber, mixed timber and prairie
and prairie lands for sale in Mime
sofa and in western North Dakota.
This land is sold at very low figure
considering its quality. This is done
to encourage settlement of the coun-
try. In Minnesota the prices are from
So to So per acre, and in central and
western North Dakota from So to 81
per acre, one-tenth do wn to settlers
and balance in one-tenth payments
each year ct 6 per cent interest. This
makes it perfectly easy matter for
those desiring to own lands aud
homes of their own to get farm in
a prosperous and growing country.
