Sergeant Buck Taylor.


Sergeant Buck Taylor, one of the
famous Rough Riders, is a personal
friend of Governor Roosevelt, of New
York. He accompanied Governor Roose-
Welt on his great stumping tour
through upper New York state. He
was promoted through gallantry in
the field during the late war.
The Sergeant has the following to
saw of Pe-ru-na: II think there is no
better medicine ON earth than Pe-ru-na,
for catarrh. It has cured me. It
would take a volume to tell you all
the good It has done me. Pe-ru-na is
the best catarrh cure on earth, and I
know, for 1 have tried nearly all Of
them. Respectfully,
..Buck F. Taylor"

Corn for, cold-we.ther.

Corn, which has been the staple food
for winter. has found q rival in wheat;
but while wheat is quoted at very low
price, those who buy in very small
quantities will find itssstill nearly up
to old prices. The wheat sold for uses
Of poultry is. usually of the lowest
grade, but the retailers seem to make
no difference on that account. While
wheat is an excellent food whenEf fed

DOES PARKING PAY7l


How often this question has been
asked and how seldom answered how
can it be answered, when there is not
one farmer in 100 who can tell the
number of each kind of live stock he
had, and what they were worth, one
year ago? 81 81 81 RS. /
There is not one in 1000 who can
tell how much it has cost him the
past year in household and other
expenses. Bookkeeping is a terrible
bugbear to the average farmer, but
one would think he might take account
of stock once year, and make a mem
orandum Of it, so as to be able to CONF
pare one year with another, and if he
kept an expense account, and also an
account of his income, he would know
where he could retrench, II necessary,
and when he might safely expend. or
indulge in something besides the bare
necessaries of life. Few farmers know
how much it would take to support
their families in the way they live
now, if they had to pay house rent.
and hand out the cold cash for every
thing they consume; and that is the
reason so many come togrief after sell
ing or renting their farms and going
to live in town. A farmer can, and
frequently does, drive as fine a horse
as any man in town, but he doesn' t
realize how much it costs the other fa
low to keep horse just for pleasure.
It is getting quite common for we'll
to-do farmers to move into town to
educate their children, and both they
and the children frequently learn more
than is good for them. The cost OF
keeping pony for the children to ride
or drive to school would be small in
comparison, and would be keeping the
whole family out of the way Of tempta,
ton.
The moral side of this question is 4
great deal more important than the
financial The farmer doesn't have to
solicit the patronage of anyone. He
doesn't have to enter into competition
and strive with his neighbor like a
merchant; he doesn't have to wrangle
and warp the truth for a living like q
lawyer; he doesn't have to depend on
donations reluctantly doled out. like
many ministers; in short, he can be
the most independent man on Gods
green earth it he manages his affairs
in a business-ike manner. he has
more time and equal opportunitie. fol
improving his mind, he has Less allure
ments for corrupting his morals, and
his occupation is conducive to the high
est development of his physical pow
ers. He can be on intimate terms with
his own family, at peace with the
world, and he can worship God under
his own grape vine and apple tree

FATTENING HOGS.
Science Of Feeding VIII They Pro-
duce the Best Pork.

No country on earth can produce
pork as cheaply as we can. No fault
can be found with the hams and shout
ders from American hogs, and only the
absence of lean streaks prevents our
bacon from taking first place. Under
present conditions we cannot afford to
produce bacon such as comes from Den
mark and Ireland, because there is
more profit in producing weight with
corn. With all these advantages of
cheap feed and favorable climatic con-
ditions, we can produce pork very
cheaply, but we should not be content
with this. We should try to produce
better pork than we do without adding
to the cost.
Very few farmers would say they do
not know all about raising hogs, but
the truth is, very few really do know
the best way to feed for the best re-
suits in quality, gain in weight and
healthfulness.
Most farmers are inclined to think
the best way to feed lot of hogs is to
put them in lot and keep corn by them
all the time. Corn and corn alone is
enough for a hog, they think, and to
feed this in unlimited quantities re-
quires neither Judgment nor sense.
The average farmer does not read, nor
does he bother himself much with
thinking. The man who is above the
average reads and thinks, and he knows
there is much to learn in even so sim
pie an operation as raising hog. He
knows that corn alone does not fur
nish all the elements that go to make
perfect pork. The thinking farmer pro-
vides pasture of clover OF blue grass
for his pigs, and gets them up to 100
pounds or above with grass, wheat
bran, skim milk and such heterogeneous
feeds as to make lean meat and bone.
Then he feeds corn and oats or bran,
and toward the last feeds all the corn
the animals will eat, with good appe-
tite, and goes into the market with a
finished product that he may be proud
| of, which has not cost him any more
than full corn-fed hog would have
| cost. When all farmers follow this
course, then will American pork have
come into its own and the price will
rise to its true value.-Farmers' Voice.
