READ TIN HIS NEWSPAPER.

George Schaub, we'll known German c It'll
zen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant
reader of theDayton Volkzeitung. He knows
that this paper aims to advertise only the
best in its columns, and when he saw Cham
berlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for
lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks
had suffered with the most terrible pains in
her back and could get no relief. He says:
"After using the Pain Balm for few days
my wife said to me, Il feel as though born
anew and before using the entire contents of
the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take up her
household duties.' He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderful recovery. This valuable lini-
ment is for sale by FL G Pierce Barton, III S

FEEDING HAY AND GRAIN ON EARLY
PASTURE.

The farmer who abruptly drops off
his hay and grain feed as soon as the
the COWS go to pasture in the spring,
makes a great mistake, but it seems
to be a common practice with many
farmers. There perhaps would be but
little difference in the amount of milk
given for a while, whether the hay
and grain ration is kept up or not,
and for this reason, and while the COW
seems satisfied on grass alone, some
may think that when they did con-
tinue the other feed it was thrown
away. But the farmer will learn
sooner or later, that his stock
will keep up their strength and
condition much better with grain and
hay on early pastures, than without
it, and along in the summer, and even
in the fall and winter, they will be
giving much better flow of milk, so
that when he comes to sum up for the
year he will see that the money put
into such feed was a good investment.
Cattle that have had nothing but
dry feed since the beginning of win
ter will Of course eat this new grass
with great relish; bat at this time it
is watery and unsubstantial; itstimu-
lates the production of milk beyond
what the nutriment it contains will
warrant, and this large flow of milk
will rapidly reduce the strength and
vitality of the COW so that she will be
unable to keep up extra flow of milk
unless she has some more substantial
food to keep her in good condition.

Successful Management of Hogs.

The SOW when bred should be in
good flesh. Her food should consist
in part of bran, muscle and bone form
ing foods, and not corn alone. If she
can have the run of a pasture or wood
lot so much the better. Good water
should always be at hand. Sows with
good bone, long and deep bodies, and
good dispositions are to be preferred.
The boar that has some age and is
where he can take plenty of exercise,
should have preference to the young
one or the one that is kept in close
pen.
February is a good time for pigs to
be narrowed as they can be fed and
fattened during the summer months
when grass and green feed is plenty,
and less corn is required in warm
weather than in cold weather. The
price of hogs is usually good during
the latter part of summer and early
fall.

OUR FARMERS.
CARE OF COWS.

! The we'll bred, high-produclng COW
: is more sensitive to her surroundings
! than the most delicately- constructed
machinery and is greatly affected by
slight causes" says @. L. Peck in the
National Stocknldn. A COW in my owe
personal care, produced over 600
pounds of butter and 10000 pounds Of
milk in year, when placed under the
care of another equally we'll fed,
dropped off to about one-half that
amount and, on her return to my own
stable, came back to former produc-
ton. Cows should be MIXED, SO far
as possible, by the same person, in
the same order and at the same time
of day to realize their full capacity.
There is no time or labor expended in
the dairy that brings so large return
for the investment as proper use of
the card and brush three minutes per
day per COW for that period in the
year when they are confined in the
stable. The COW that will produce
$50 pounds of butter in a year will, as
a rule, by the aid of the card and
brush. kindly and well used, increase
to 300 pounds on feed and care other
wise the same. I have tried this and
speak from personal and careful ex-
pertinent. The care of COWS includes
care of stables. In the dairy business
cleanliness is next to goodness. Clean
bedding. ample absorbents in the gut
tiers, and for this purpose gypsum or
land plaster is among the best. Two
pounds per COW per day put in the
drop behind each COW will do away
with most of the offensive smell of
the stable and absorb most of the
liquid droppings.
The effect of kind treatment Of
COW can hardly be overrated. She
should know and welcome the voice
of her master and attendant. If he
practices calling her by name and
speaking to her when he comes near
her she will soon learn to expect and
welcome it and will render rich re-
turn for the trouble in the pail. OF
the care of the milk after the COW has
delivered it into the pail, there is not
time nor space to speak fully. A re-
iteration ofIthe thought of cleanliness,
thorough cleanliness, is never i'll
timed at any point in the progress of
the milk from from the pail to the
butter in the tub.

To BE a Good COmrade.

A variety of knowledge adds greatly
to our successful social intercourse.
This the period of specialization in
training, and young people are in
creasingly numerous who, very sensi-
bly,, are well prepared for life along
some definite line. But even more
for women than for men there is dan
ger IN being narrow. The musical
girl, if she knew nothing but music,
will often find herself left out in gen.
eral conversation, and the girl who is
proficient in domestic science may be
a most tedious companion if she only
know what she is called upon to teach
and explain.
To sum up the matter, girls, you and
l must never lose sight of the fact
thatwe are likely to be failures unless
we are good comrades. Our friends
our loved ones at home, our associates
in business, the people next door and
down the street should be able to rely
on US for the qualities of fidelity, pa
tience and affection which make life
worth living. To be oversensitive, to
be rude in retort and contradictory in
disposition, is to be altogether unfit
ted for comradeship. And the good
comrade has something to contribute
to the common fund, some fun, some
fancy, some bit of song, and thus the
days go on in brightness from morn
ing till night and nobody minds
though the road be rough.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

of England at the opening of Parlia-

administered to all the kings of Eng

II, Edward, do solemnly and sincere
ly, and in the presence of God, profess,

that in the sacrament of our Lords
supper there is not any trunsubstnn-
tiation of the elements of bread and
wine into the body and blood of Christ
at or after the conservation thereof by
any person whatsoever, and that thein-
vocation and alteration of the Virgin
Mary or any other saint and the sacri-
flee of mass, as they are now used in
the church of Rome, are superstitious-
and idolatrous; and l do solemnly, in
the presence of God, profess, testify
and declare that l do make this dec
lnration and every part thereof in the
plain and ordinary sense of the words
read unto me, as they are commonly
understood by English Protestants,
without any evasion, equivocation or
mental reservation whatsoever, and
without any dispensation already
granted me for this purpose by the
Pope or any other authority or person
whatsoever, and without any hope of
any such dispensation from any per-
son whatsoever, and without thinking
that am or can be acquitted before
God or man of any part thereof, al
though the Pope or any other PEI an
or persons or power whatsoever should
dispense with or annul the same, or
declare that 1t was null and void from
the beginning"

Bribery Inyestiration.


The bribery investigation committee,
consisting of Representatives O'Con-
nell, Insley, Cannon, Schweigert and
Dunlavy, met on the night of March
4th, in open session, in the room of the
clerk of the House.
Mr.. O'Connell, the chairman, stated
that the committee held Il preliminary
meeting earlier to map out course of
action. Mr.. Montgomery appeared
and the chairman asked him to be
sworn.
Il deny the right of this committee
under the resolution creating it to ad-
minister oaths or subpoena witnesses.
However, l am willing to make my
statement under oath or otherwise"
The chairman administered an oath.
Mr.. Schweigert said the committee
could not assume that any members
We're guilty of bribery or that anybody
had said so. 1t was n matter to be
proven. Mr.. Dunlavy objected that
the resolution fixed no time when the
alleged words We're used, or in refer
ence to what matter they were used.
The chairman stated lnat he wanted
the grounds upon which Colonel Mont
gomery had used the words, and it was
suggested that the matter referred to
was section Al of House bill /, which
is the revenue bill.
Colonel Montgomery then said: "In

.he memory of man has left fully as
great number of bills not passed
which seemed TO many persons cx-
ceedingly meritorious.
The last ditch attitude of the Dem
ocrats over the Spooner amendment,
and the agony of Mr.. Teller, who
thinks that liberty is dead and weeps
over it, and is sorry he is aliye to sec
such day, are all rather amusing IN
view of the fact that the Spooner
amendment is almost exactly the Ian
guage of the law that was passed by
the Democrats in 1903 giving Jefferson
discretionary power in the government
of Louisiana Territory, and of the law
passed after the annexation of Florida,
giving President Monroe like authority.
What they call "the March of Imperi-
alism" began early in our national his
tory. 1t is indeed great wonder That
we have existed so long. And the
worst of it, says Mr.. Teller, with tears
in his voice and eyes, is that the peo-
pie will approve of the act. Surely
when the country will not take his
guidance it is going straight to the
demnition bow-wows. The times are
changed; we are not the men our IA
theirs We're; when the present genera
ton of Tellers passes there will be no
show for the republic whatever. Alas

King Victor Emmanuel has done
that which becomes true man. and
therefore something not unbecoming a
king. Lieutenant Bresci, brother of
the assassin OF King Humbert, has had
to endure such suspicion and dislike.
because of his relationship with the
murderer. that his position became in
tolerable, and he forwarded to the
king his resignation from the army.
Not only was the resignation declined,
in words which revealed the generos-

king. as proof of his confidence in
the loyalty of gallant and deserving
officer, promoted him to a captaincy,
with the command of a fort on the
