SELL MATURED STOCK.
There's No Profit in Keeping Cattle
or Hogs After They Have Been
Fattened Fairly Well.

There is no profit in keeping any kind
OF stock when they have been fattened
for the market; the retention of cattle
every ear of corn serves only 70 main
tain their present condition is unwise
and improbable. When they are fat
sell them; you cannot afford to con-
tinue feeding them in anticipation of
higher prices, regardless of the cheap
ness of the feed. If hog is fat and
ready for market at 200 pounds sell
him, as no appreeiable gain can be
made after this period has been
reached, on the other hand there is
some danger of the animal going back,
or losing fat; so it is best to place the
stock on the market after the finish
ing touches have been put on, and yield
not to the temptation, which is strong
one, 10 hold on for better prices, which
may and may not be received.
If cattle and hogs have been judi
ciously fed and are of good breeding
they will nearly always bring a re-
munerative price and pay handsomely
for the labor and expense involved in
their preparation for the market.
Another thing-the local buyers who
visit you every week or two to get stuff
to send to Chicago, St. Louis or Kansas
City and who of course make consid-
cradle profit thereby, should be sent to
1.-The other fellow" as any farmer can
ship his own stock. cattle, hogs and
sheep. just as cheaply as the local buyer
can, and thus secure the profit which
the latter usually receives. He may
not have a load, but the buyer may
be confronted with the same difficulty;
then the thing TO do is to see neigh
Dor or two who may have stock to ship
and thus make out the car load. 1t
pays to save money wherever possible;
this is one of the places where it is pos
sible. The reason many farmers do not
act in this regard as advised is that the
little trouble of getting car. load
ing the stock and caring for it during
shipment frightens them and they are
content to sell to the local buyer at
less money than undergo the trouble
and receive higher prices.-Farmers'
Voice.

girth is less than three feet, multiply

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing TO cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
