At what price can milk be sold
wholesale and still return a profit?
This lis question that we would like
to have some Of our readers answer.
An eastern, paper has been asking a
somewhat similar question Of many Of
Its readers, and the reports agree IN
saying that when milk is sold at and
~ cents per quart 1t is a losing
transaction, II this is so then the
farmers that supply much Of the sum
mer milk to New York must certainly
lose heavily. for the summer prices
have in some instances dropped down
to 81 cents per 100 pounds or about
one cent per quart. Even at 81 per
hundred pounds there is little if any
profit in the TRANSACTION, when all
things are considered. Conditions In
the west differ somewhat from those
in the east and we would like to hear
the opinions of western shippers OF
milk. #
tFoot-and -mouth disease has again
broken out in England after having
been apparently extinct there for
about six years. Reports say that the
situation in one locality there is very
serious, especially as regards cows in
milk. In a single locality over 100
cases have been discovered, and, as
many Of the animals were canvales-
cent at the time of the discovery, it is
evident that the diseases had been in
existence there for long time. The
problem is how have the six years
been abridged over Have some ami
mails been sick all the time, transmit
ting it from one to the other, thus
completing chain, or have the germs
lain dormant in some material or 9th
ar? Whatever the answer may be, 1t
Is quite evident that care was not
used to the degree 1t should have

unknown disease" the thing might
have been nipped in the bud. AS it is,
1t will probably be a hard task to cor
raj the diseased cattle, for without
doubt some have gone from the in
fected herds into herds far distant.
American farmers and dairymen
should take the lesson to heart. Con-
tagious diseases can be kept down only
by cleanliness and vigilance. 81.

BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If You would win in the Battle of Life
you must have a clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, sllrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needfu1 quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stantly tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pePsia, indigestion, bi1iousness, sour
stomach, or any other ai1ment of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With a perfect digestion go strong,
healthy body, clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
cases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DIR. K. 3. Strong, New York City,

Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more eficacious though it

New York still maintains it's reputation
as the premier state in golf, as 153
clubs are devoted to the game within
its boundaries. Massachusetts is a

A superstition of Jim Corbett,..


Variety performers and baseball play
ers are responsible for two-thirds of
the slang that italicizes the American
language, and they are also to be held
accountable for a similar amount of
the superstitions of the day. They be-
lieve firmly in "mascots' and "hoo-
doos," and so do a large majority of
fighters.
Anent this fact Billy Brady played it
low down on Corbett at Coney Island.
One of Corbett's Superstitions is that
it is unlucky for a fighter to be the first
to enter the ring when he is about to
engage in n contest. He forced Sulli-
van to enter the ring first at New Or
leans, and he defeated him. He in
tended TO make Jeffries enter the ring
first at Coney Island, but Brady had
big Ed DunkhOrSt wear blue sweater
similar to the one that incased Jeffries'
body. When the men left their dress
ing rooms, Jeffries preceded Corbett
and his seconds.
When they got to the ring, however,
Jeffries squatted down outside of it.
and Dunkhorst. surrounded by Jeffries'
seconds, assembled the steps and took a
seat on Jeffries' stool. Jeffries' sec
onds then closed in around him, and
Corbett was notified that "Jeffries is
in the ring" He made his appearance
Immediately thereafter and entered the
ring clothed in big bathrobe.
Hardly had he taken his seat on his
stool before Jeffries climbed into the
ring, dispossessed Dunkhorst and took
his seat in his corner. When Corbett
saw this maneuver, he was visibly mo-
mentarily chagrined.
