A fact of considerable Importance to

A fact of considerable Importance to
stockmen is that the second growth of
Kafiir corn, sorghum and probably of
field or sweet corn is a most deadly
poison to stock, death occurring in less
than one hour after eating Of such
food. The reason Of this is not yet I'M
derstood, and the peculiar toxic quail
ties of such vegetation are still mys-
terry to the scientists.

Where the farm is devoted almost ex-
clusively to dairying it is better to
make up the dairy herd from cows OF
the special dairy types, but where il
is only side issue on the farm, say
10 or Is cows on quarter section
farm, the question of beef production
cannot be ignored, and registered
beef sire should be at the head of
every such herd.

The delicate and fugitive flavor
which makes what is termed good but.
ter is in no sense the result of manipu,
lation, but of the food which is the
foundation of the butter fat. While
imperfect and careless manipulation of
the milk easily annihilates this delicate
flavor or changes it into one wholly un.
pleasant, it is also true that the food of
the cow creates it in the first place,
and if the food is wrong the flavor will
be wanting.

Because Of the splendid dairy train
ing the Dane receives at the hands of
his government it comes that the best
butter makers of the western cream
cries are very largely Danes. In some
localities a butter maker can hardly
secure employment at a creamery un-
less his name ends in "son."

age dairy of cows.

AN OBJECT LESSON


a physician put the query:
Have you ever noticed in any large
restaurant at lunch or dinner
time the large number OF hearty,
vigorous old men at the tables:
men whose ages run from so to
so years; many of them bald and
all perhaps gray, but none OF them
feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so COM
mon as TO have escaped your OBJ
servation or comment, but never
theless it is an object lesson
which means something.
II you viii notice what these
hearty old fellows are eating you
will observe that they are not
munching bran crackers nor gin
gerry picking their way through
a menu card of new tangled health
foods; on the contrary they seem
to prefer a juicy roast beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton.
and ever the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored.
The point OF all this is that q
vigorous old age depends upon
good digestion and plenty OF
wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live
upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that
meat, coffee and many other
good things are rank poisons, but
these cadaverous, sickly looking
individuals are a walking condem-
nation of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that
If the stomach secretes the natur-
al digestive juices in sufficient
quantity any wholesome food will
be promptly digested; If the stom-
ach does not do so. and certain
foods cause distress n or two of

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
not act upon the bowels and in
fact are not strictly a medicine,
as they act almost entirely upon
the food eaten, digesting it thor
oughly and thus gives a much
needed rest and giving an appe-

perience that they / a safeguard

travelling public for years have
pinned their faith to Stuart's
Tablets.

cents for full sized packages and

Yesterday afternoon about half-past
two o'clock the city editor of the
MonndsEille Echo was the victim of an
outrageous and brutal assault, his as
sailants being Capt. Reese and Guard
Henry. of the pe~nitentiary force.
The two men named called at the
Office Of the Echo with a view to ascer-
tanning the author Of an article which
had been published in that paper. Mr..
Shaw declined to give the information,
when Capt. Reese struck the city editor
repeatedly. knocking him down three
times. Reese also drew a billy" and
struck at J. A. Shaw, the editor and
proprietor of the Echo, but fortunately
the blow did not reach its mark.
After the two men had left the news
paper Office and started fer the Mayors
Office, Capt. Reese again assaulted the
city editor, striking him for the fourth
time. At the Office of the Mayor Capt.
Reese confessed to the assault, but his
trial was postponed for some unknown
reason, and the final result is simply a
matter for conjecture.
Later Capt. Reese confessed judg-
ment before Justice Pierce to carrying
concealed weapons and was assessed
five dollars and costs.
A few minutes after the occurrence
guards could be seen in all directions,
and trouble of a more serious nature
was anticipated, but fortunately fur
Their violence was averted. 1t is the ex-
p~ectation that Mondays issue of the
Echo will have some interesting read
ing matter in connection with this eff
fort to bulldoze its writing force and
carry the Office by assault.
