markably docile.
In my opinion there will be lot of
money made in the next few years in
supplying the great demand that will
arise for Buff Orpingtons, and the
poultry breeder who possesses a fine
flock of them, small or large, is indeed
fortunate. All who see or hear of them
have a desire to own some breeding
stock. Today the demand is far in ad-
vance of the supply. Prices range high,
and scarcity exists at any price. This
is advantageous in a way to the breed.
for it places them in the hands of a
class of people who will breed them
well up toward perfection and push
them to the front.-Mrs. w. A. Mar

The fact that all women suffer during
the birth-hour leads great many women
to accept a degree of suffering which IS
altogether unnecessary. Sometimes it
is hours, sometimes days before the
struggle is over. No medicine can alb
solutely eliminate pain from this time
of travail, but DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription can and does make the baby's
advent practically painless. 1t acts upon
the organs of maternity, giving them
strength and elasticity. 1t produces
physical comfort and mental cheerful
ness. It is an effective tonic, giving
the mother abundant nutrition for her
child.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN FAILURE.

The incompetency of the Republican adj
ministration is further shown by the fact
that the effort to amend the constitution Of

their failure to advertise properly the

amendments to the organic law.
In this, as in other matters, the consti-
