DUG FOR GOLD FOR FORTY YEARS
Dol1iver Hid $4,000 and Robbers Stole
It the Same Night.

It the same Night
More than forty years. ago old Jim
Dollive:., rich owner OF timber land
and mills, buried s42, 900 in gold
somewhere between the Forks and
2Iurphy's, in Maine. Ee had come
from Montreal. along the old French
voyageurs' trail, and, reaching the
Forks, had told tie landlord Of the
hotel that he had been followed by a
party of French and Indian outlaws
all the way from the St. Lawrence
river.
ST have nearly five score hundred
yellow sovereigns in my batteau," he
said, "and if I don't bury my money
now the crazy fellows will rob me be-
foro get to Wateryil!e-"
He left the hotel at 10 o'clock that
night and was away three days. On
his return he remarked to the land
lord ....sss.is;;!I 80
aWell, I have put thafmoney where
the archangel Gabriel can't find it.
Then he took hearty suppeE, went
to bed. slept two days and two nights,
and awoke a raying maniac. For q
week he fought indians and buried
treasures in his deliriun, and died in
the act Of shooting Mohawk chief,
who had invaded his sick fancy for
the purpose Of rolobing him.
For dozen years after Doillver's S
death his heirs advertised for the
missing wealth, and increased the re-
ward until the finder was entitled to
rs per cent. OF ell he should discover.
Having spent nearly $4,000 in adver-
tising, the heirs gave it up as bad
Job, after which the paople who knew
the sto.y continued the work at their
own expense. For twenty years the
digging went on at all seasons.
!. In October, 1880, Saunders Atwood
came from Winterror5-and brought an
electric battery with him, which he
said could detect an English farthlng
under flour fa:hons': Of solid earth.
When he went away, two weeks later,
he showed handful of English SOW
ereigns all stamped with dates thirty
or more years ago, and said that he
had unearthed the whole of the miss
ing wealth. But while the people &C
cepted his theory that the proper time
to dig was on the lark of al October
moon they repudiate the story that he
found any Of the missing coin.
This fall, when the muscles OF the
farmers had grown hard fr'ora diggin 6
potatoes, about forty men packed up
a few tools and made ready to start
on another search for Dolliver's money
as soon as the old dmooD should change.
They were loafng about the hotel and
stores one night whenword came from
Montreal that EugGae Besl1prey an
aged az. -ith E=2enci3asn 81 Eisss city,
had lately died, ccE MESSING On his
deathbed that he had seen DoIliver
conceal the goldin a sollow pine stub,
and had gone and taksn it away after
the rightful owner had returned to the
Forks. This information was verified
later by an announcement that one
Eugen~ Beaupre, late Of Montreal,
had lied and left an estate amounting
tn $4,000 to different charities in
Canada and Maine, saying in his will
that the gift was made as ''partial

Preventing Cows From Kicking.

When a COW has thoroughly formed
the habit of kicking when some one
approaches to milk her she had best
be fattened and turned over to tie
butcher. 1t seems pity too, for it is
always the best milking COW that ac-
quires this habit. 1t comes from the
fact that the best mixer has always,
before her bag is milked dry, very
full tension in it, which is painful if
not extremely carefully handled.
Sometimes the COZ is injured by the
calf butting the udder, as instinct
teaches it to 90 to make milk come
faster. A good careful milker for the
tn Young heifer is therefore better
THAI the calf for starting the milk,
though rhe calf should be beside the
COW at the time, so as to prevent her
from kicking. It is astonishing how
much butting the COW will stand SO
long as it is done by her own calf.
The profit from any kicking COW is
never great enough to compensate for
the injury such an one may do to
those who have to be about them.
Usually, too, if left to hired help the
kicking COW arouses anger, which is
apt to be visited on other animals SO
that soon others will be spoiled as the
original kicking COW had been. Pre-
venting the kicking habit by uniform
kindness is better than trying to cure

Fattenins Home Grown Lambs.

In city markets there is frequently
some diHculty in disposing of very
fat sheep, buyers contending that they
are too fa* and even going SO far es to
say that high degree OF finish cannot
be produced in sheep without over
loading them with tallow. The Min
nesota experiment station holds that
this is not true, and inaugurated an
experiment to demonstrate that the
most perfect finish can be made with
out undue fattening, provided the
foods are suitably chosen, suitably
blended and suitably fed.
With this in view lot Of lambs
we're selected, all Of which had been
bred upon the farm. They were kept
upon pastures other than grass, such
as winter rye, peas and oats, corn,
sorghum, rape aad cabbage. While
they were pastured in this way, they
were not fed grain. They were late
March lambs. The sires were pure
bred Dorsets and the dams common
grades with sprinkling Of Merino
blood. AS rule they were Of good
form, but not Of the highest blocky
type. They were fed ina she'd and
had aeeasstto . yard at will. Their
food consisted Of oats, bran, barley
and oil cake in the proportion Of three
parts oats, three of bran, three of bar.
ley, and one OF oil cake, by weight.
Hay and roots were fed freely, the
roots consisting of carrots and man
gels. The lambs we're given what
they would eat up clean Of grain and
feed and a fairly liberal supply oi
roots.
= During the 112 days Of the expert
ment the average amount of food con
sumed per day was as follows: Grain
pit pounds. hay 0.9 pound, ROOFS
/ 81, or a total OF about 5 pounds.
The feed was charged as follows
Bran S.. so, oil cake Il cents, corn Is
cents, barley 16 cents, oats "a cents,
native hay 3 cents, roots 4 - cents
per bushel. The average increase pei
animal per month was II pounds.
These we're excellent gains for so long
a period; and Notwithstanding the
length of the feeding period the gains
were as good ct the closing portion as
at any other time. The cost per l0{
pounds OF increase was S5.4l. The
: lambs were sold in the St. Paul ane
Minnesota markets for $3.50 per 10(
pounds, shrunk weight. The mea'
was tested, and the unanimous YER
dict of competent judges was that it
was of the highest quality. The pro
portion of lean to fat was unusually
large aud the blending of fat and lear
was perfect. The meat was as tender
and juicy as that Of spring lambs
The value of each lamb when the ex
pertinent began was s3.15, and whel
it was closed s7.08, or in other words
the value had been N ore than doubled
during the feeding period. The ne
profit of 81. 43 per lamb was of cours'
unusual. Feed during 1897 whe1
this test was made was very cheal
and it is doubtful whether this resul
can be equalled again, but the fac

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
Can Be Cured Unless the Stomach Is
First Made Strong and
Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ
in the body depends on the stomach
for its nourishment. Nerve, bone,
sinew, blood are made from the food
which the stomach converts to our
use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy and
neglect the most important of all,
the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indiges-
ton are sour riSingS, bad taste in the
mouth, gas in stomach and bowels,
palpitation, all-gOne feeling, faint
ness, headaches, constipation; later
comes loss of flesh, consumption,
liver and heart troubles, kidney
diseases, nervous prostration. all of
which are the indirect result of poor
nutrition.
ANY person suffering from indiges-
tion should make it Il practice to
take after each meal one of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, allowing it to dis
solve in the mouth and thus mingle
with the saliva and enter the stom-
ach in the most natural way. These
Tablets are highly recommended by
DR.. Jennison because they are COM
posed of the natural digestive acids
and fruit essences which assist the
stomach in digesting all wholesome
food before il has time to ferment
and sour.
