CHEAPLY MADE PoRK.

We can commend the following as a
new and very practical way in which
to care for a lot of shotes from the mid
die of August to the middle of October.
a method whereby the health of the
pigs will be promoted and a gain in
growth secured more chg&ply than by
any other method. If you have 80
young pigs. plant three acres Of ever
green sweet corn in May on a good
piece of land. At the time of the last
blowing sow one and half pounds Of
Dwarf Essex rape per acre among the
corn. As soon as the corn begins to
harden up. which will be from the LIST
to the 18th Of August. fence Off half an
acre and turn the hogs in. giving them
a fresh strip from time to time as they
need it. See that the pigs have enough
water and then let them alone. They
will do tie rest and make You the
cheapest pork ever produced on your
farm. They will further splendidly fer
tilize the land for succeeding crop.
This plan is well worth trying by every
man who raises hogs, Of course reduc-
ing or increasing the acreage to CORE
spond with the number Of hogs in his
herd

CUssEDNEss AND THE COW.

For fact there have been more in
geniOus rascality and cussedness devel-
oped in connection with the single item
of cows milk and its products than in
any other thing produced on a farm.
The dairyman early learned to water
and skim it, the milkman who peddled
it to adulterate it with formaldehyde
and silicylic acid to keep it from
sOuring, the butter maker to work
casein and water into the butter. and
then the steer man and the hog man
and the cOttonseed oil man each took a
hand to fraudulently beat old bossy
out of her vested rights, while only a
few commission men can handle the
butter and keep the Ten Command
ments. Think of well bred COW, one

Cincinnati, March 27.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation began yesterday in Cincinnati
by attending early mass at the Roman
Catholic cathedral, though she is not

At the Grand Central station over
1000 persons inspected the new Pan
American train of the Big Four road.
Forty other cars of this pattern are to
be delivered to the road by June. Cen
eral Passenger Agent Lynch and As
sistant Reeves escorted Mrs Nation
and her party through the train, and at
that time the champagne happened to
be flowing freely. Mrs. Nation ex-
pressed her indignation at the use of
liquor and wine on the train, as we'll
as at her hotel and elsewhere.
Mrs. Nation called on Mayor Julius
Fleischmann at the city hall in the af-
ternoon and scolded him for operating
a distillery here. On her arrival the
mayor greeted her cordially and asked
her if he could do anything for her.
She said:
yes; I want you to give me some
advice as to how to close the hell holes
in this city. You will never die peace
fully as long as you are a man who
manufactures intoxicating drinks. You
will have some serious questions to

RIGHT UP TO DATE.
(BensOns Plaster is Pains Master)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quicllness of action and thcroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eDer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured qUickly-and BensOn's Plaster
does it. Coughs, colds, lumbago. asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as icedoes to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists (and a thousand times as many nom
professional persons) have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few G. home remedies
that can be trusted
Fifty-fve highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be
sure to get the genuine.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
