A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and
bronchitis, which are the most
dangerous and fatal diseases,
have for their first indication a
persistent cough, and if proper
ly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has
proven wonderfully successful,

and extensive sale by its success
in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. If it is not

RAILROAD OUTLOOK.

of Idaho, but it may at the same
time put some obstacles in the
way of the construction of the
Idaho Midland, for which every
true citizen of Boise has been
striving and praying since Col.
T. w. Bates and his associates
first introduced the proposition,
some two years ago.
1t is evident that the Union
Pacific or Oregon Short Line
does not propose to give up the
advantages which they have al
ready gained in this section with
out a bitter fight, as can be plain
ly seen by the extensions made
and proposed by them in Idaho
in order to prevent the construc-
ton of other roads.
To those interested a review
and forecast of railroad work in
the state may prove of much in
terest.
Some two years ago the Bur
lington people extended their
line to the northeastern border
of Idaho and their surveyors
were kept constantly in the field
looking for the most available
route across the state. 1t seemed
almost positive that that com
pany would extend its line
through the rich agricultural sec
tons of Fremont and Bingham
counties, the wellknown Wood
River mining district and from
there on to the coast. And in all
probability taking in Boise on its
course across the state.
When such a route seemed as
sured, to counterfeit any en-
croachment by an outside line the
Oregon Short Line extended q
branch last year from Idaho Falls
to st. Anthony, thus making a
competing line through a very
desirable section should the
Burlington carry out their pro.
posed plan.
Again the big copper company
which is operating at Houston.
Custer county, put engineers ir
the field and surveyed line from
that camp to Ogden. going
directly through the Malad val
ley which gives promise of being
one of the most productive sec
tons of the state. This seemed
to have again put the Short Line
people to guessing as to wha'
such a road might mean to their
own interests. 1t probably look
ed to them that such railroad
made it very easy for the exten
sion of the Missoula branch
which terminus is at Gran;sdale
Montana, near the Lemhi county
line, and the Northern Pacific
might easily connect at Houston
with the copper company's roal
and thereby get another outlet
to the coast over the old Lo.
Angeles survey. which has caus
ed so much comment in railroad
circles the past few weeks. TX
prevent tLis, the Short Lin,
people went to the managers O
the copper company and paiC
them what they had been out OF
their survey from Houston south
One of the conditions given a
that time was that the Short Lin,
was to construct a branch lin,
from Blackfoot to Houston dur
ing 1901. This, together with ths
fact that the Short Line alsC
agreed to give the mining com
pany when the branch should bt
completely special freight rat,
to Utah points, even as low a.
they would have had they com
pleted their own line. This stor,
might seem mythical were it no
that the public are fully awar,
of the fight which has been COINS
on between the principal opera
tors of the Northern Pacific ant

Alfalfa in the Hog Ration.

AT the Oklahoma station alfalfa pas
ture, with and without the addition OF
grain. was studied with a number of
pigs. Other forage crops wer, also
tested, including sugar beets. cow
peas, sorghum, sweet potatoes and pea
nuts. During part of the tests the feed
ing stuffs were cut and fed; during
the remainder Of the time they were
harvested by the pigs. These tests
led to the following general con-
illusions: Alfalfa is excellent as pas
ture for hogs. Pigs will make some
gain with no other food, excellent
gains when fed grain on the alfalfa
Continuous pasturing will injure and
may destroy the alfalfa. With rare ex-
ceptions, alfalfa should not be pastured
the year it is sown. Sorghum also
makes fair pasture for hogs. Sow
ing cow-peas, planting peanuts or
sweet potatoes, and allowing hogs to
harvest the crop, giving them some
grain in addition, reduces the cost of
pork production. Sugar beets are much
relished by any class of stock. The
greater cost of growing them as com.
pared with other crops makes it doubt
full if they are an economical crop when
Used in large quantities.

Toads A. Medicine.

Out OF the queer use of a common
creature regarded as most potent in
old-time medicine there came the most
surprising and nearly the most import
ant of inventions. Nearly every school
boy knows that toad can cause warts
or make the cow give bloody milk, but
not everybody knows that toads are
also powerfully medicinal. It is a fact.
Martin Luther says so. These are his
very words: Experience has proved
the toad to be endowed with valuable
qualities. If you run a stick through
three toads, and, after having dried
them in the sun, apply them to any
pestilent humor, they draw out the poi
son, and the malady will disappear.

Clean Milking Important.

One of the things worth doing
well'' is milking the cows. Why a
cow ought to be MIXED clean every
time is too old a story and has too
many arguments to back it up to
make lecture necessary every
time it is mentioned. But it's i'm
portance cannot be brought out too
frequently, says Jersey Bulletin. It
looks like little thing to some men
to slight a COW because she is a
"tegious'' mixer; and it may be more
convenient TO leave quart of strip
pings in the udder than to put up with
the side-stepping and tail-swinging
agitation of nervous critter": but
the owner Of good COW might bet
ter have "hand" Tho will steal from
him than one who doesn't milk the
cows clean. He not only loses much
OF the richest milk-that is perhaps
the least of the objections to such
neglect-but the practice of leaving
milk in the udder has a detericrating
influence on the capacity of the COW.
The longer it goes on, the less milk
she gives. And the small yield soon
becomes chronic.

Since intercollegiate have taught US
to look upon -untreated cows milk
as q fruitful source OF infection, es-
pecially dangerous to infants, 1t has
become the universal practice among
physicians to insist upon its being ex-
posed to the prolonged influence Of
heat. e., sterilized. The too exclu-
stve use Of milk thus prepared has
been condemned by some authorities.
SO that the question may still be re-
garded as open to discussion, says q
British exchange. To determine the
relative digestibility Of fresh and ster-
ilized milk, JENNA Ola clinica medica
Itatana) has undertaken a series OF
laboratory experiments, which show
that under the influence of pepsin and
hydrochloric acid fresh milk is more
readily digested than sterilized milk,
while the reverse takes place when
the two fluids are subjected to the
action OF pancreatin. When acted
upon by artificial gastric Juice. ster-
tlized milk produces greater guam
tity Of peptones during the first four
hours than fresh milk, but after that
period the latter proves to be the more
easily digestible. Practically the same
results were obtained on using lab
ferment, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid.
The action Of labferment and pancrea-
attn was more pronounced in the case
OF sterilized milk.
In second series Of researches the
author set himself the task of deter
mining the relative digestibility of
sterilized milk, and of milk diluted
with a 10. per cent solution of sugar
Of milk. In, every instance the advan-
tage was on the side Of the diluted
milk The conclusions drawn by the
author from these data are: 1. Milk
submitted to the sterilizing action Of
heat shows no impairment of digesti-
bility, which is superior to that of
raw milk. 2. Milk that has been
sterilized and diluted with solution
OF sugar of milk is more easily digest
ed than pure sterilized milk.

would not support her, because he was
jealous of another man, who had paid

There were two handsome old ladies
sitting at the window with their work
In their laps, one the hostess and the
other the visitor. They were children

Just as though It was yesterday.
Salt was the designation when we,

pepper was faster, and mustard was

That's right. To do anything faster
than mustard meant fits or palpita-

suppose that there is one of those chill
dren out there could skip mustard
without having a sick spell. We GER
tainly go backward each generation.
Sue Let's take a look at them"
When they reached the back door
there was Margaret flying up and down
as though she had wings, springs and
lungs like long-distance runner, says
the Detroit Free Press. She was jump
ing two ropes going in opposite direc-
tons at the same time and whirling as
rapidly as the operators could make
them.

Then the old ladies filed back,
looked sheepishly at each other and
went to talking about how much bet
