Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. ofNeW
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cementS for Which similar claims
are made, but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
uses the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensiveand do not allow
large profits Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs Sc. rs a pound
and another costs 81 65 a gallon, while large
share Of the SO-called cements and LIQUID
glue upon the market are nothing more than
#sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and. in some cases. altered slightly in
color and OdOr by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty five cents a BOTTLE, and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubtly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
amounts to over $4,000 a month throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
Insist On having Majors. Don'taccept any
offhand advice from a druggist.
LII you are at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are a good deal more SO
than you lmag1ne) you can repair your rub

Long Lost Brass Medallion.

West Bend, Wis, April II.
Miss Anna Schroeder of Barton,
the sister of John Schroeder, of
this city, was seized with a sud
den illness last night. An en-
etc was administered and after
a severe paroxysm, it was
found that Miss Schroeder had
thrown up a brass medallion, the
kind generally found on rosaries.
It is supposed she swallowed it
when a child. For the past
seventeen years Miss Schroeder
has been i'll, and the mystery OF
her illness, which was pulling
the physicians, is now thought
to be cleared uI, having evi-
IDENTIFY been caused from the
metal. The young lady will re-
cover if blood poisoning can be
averted.

Catch Fish with Nets.

Oshkosh, Wis, April II. Diff
ferences among the professional
fishermen of the city have re-
vealed the fact there is a great
deal of illegal fishing going on in
Lake Winnebago. The lake is
still practically closed with ice,
except at the mouth Of the Fox
river, where the fishermen set
their nets, and so crowded have
they become that trouble has
arisen. Il is also claimed that
some have been robbing the nets
of others, and that to prevent
further efforts of this kind some
of the fisherman stand guard
over their nets all night. Net
ting, which is illegal under all
circumstances, is not generally
regarded as profitable at this
season. Consequently the war
dens have been careless and the
fishermen have been taking adj
tantage of the respite. Local
sportsmen are clamoring for
more attention on the part of the
WardenS.

Fading Away.

Glenwood, Wis, April II.
-Glenwood's famous fat
man, Lee Tricky, is losing
his grip on the proud distinction
of being the heaviest man in the
United States, if not in the
world. From an extreme avoir-
dupois Of 10 pounds, which he
reached few years ago, he has
dropped, to a mere feather
weight of $50 pounds. At. the
time his picture was printed in
the daily papers, few years
ago, his weight was about 650
pounds, and at that time the
claim was made, and it met with
no denial, that he was the heav-
lest man in the United States.
Heavy as he is, Tricky follows
daily the occupation of a team
ster indeed, this is his only
means of livelihood, for he is a
poor man with a 125 pound wife

ANTHRAX AND MURRAIN.

Prevention and Cure For These Dam
gerous Diseases.
Bloody murrain, also known as red
murrain. dysentery and infectious gas
tro enteritis, is disease of an infec-
tious character which appears to be
due to eating spoiled or moldy food
stuffs or of grasses which are contami-
mated by parasitic growths. says Har-
old Sorby in Kansas Farmer. The ex-
act cause Of this disease is unknown,
but that it is infectious in character
there seems to be no doubt. 1t attacks
cattle and sheep. also hogs, and rarely
horses Some of the symptoms of
bloody murrain are similar to those of
certain other diseases, particularly that
disease known as anthrax.
In bloody murrain recoveries fire.
quently occur, and the disease will Of
ten yield to treatment, whereas in an
thrax the disease is invariably fatal, no
treatment being of any avail when
once the animal is attacked. Anthrax
generally occurs in certain districts
where the infection is known to exist
III the SOIL III SUCH lOcdlllleS the Ills
ease is liable to break out at any time
and particularly during the summer
months of the year. Anthrax can be
prevented. however, by vaccination
with Pasteur anthrax vaccine. This
vaccine is now successfully employed
in almost all the anthrax infected To-
caIities of the North American CONT
nent.
In respect to bloody murrain the ex-
act cause of the disease has not been
determined. 1t cannot be prevented by
vaccination. as no vaccine has so far
been discovered for it,; but. as already
stated, it will frequently yield to ra-
tional treatment. The removal of the
stock to fresh pastures and the separa-
ton of the we'll from the sick animals
will almost invariably stop the further
spread of bloody murrain, but anthrax
infection may be carried from place to
place and for long distances.

EARLY Maturity of Hogs.

Why not carry the early maturity and
early marketing Of hogs little further,
if we can find the period in pigs
life when the carcass will bring its
highest net profit, and then sell? We
have already shortened the hogs life
from two years to one year, to ten
months, to nine months. and yet many
claim that the profit begins to decrease
before even that brief age Is reached.
The American Swineherd says: A
pound of flesh is produced more cheap
ly before the pig is 6 months old than
is possible at any time afterward. Then
why should the pig be kept after the
age of months? However. it takes two
to sell hog. 1t may be that the packer
wants heavier hog than can be grown
in six months. However, we believe
the hogs life will be still further short
ened and that the hog raiser will profit
by it.

SHREDDED CORN FODDER.
Readily Eaten by All Kinds of Stock.
Cos< Of Ghreddfnu

Readily Eaten by All Kinds of Stock.
Cost of Shredding.
George M. Calvin of Indiana in The
Breeders Gazette says Of shredded
corn fodder,
Our experience extends over a Pc
Rod Of five years. There were eight
shredders around and run last season
within a radius of six miles Of our
town. Some are owned by individuals
chimes, charging 4 cents per bushel.
Others are owned on the company plan
that is, four, five or six farmers own
ing the shredder and hiring an engine,
paying So per day for man and his
engines. With us shredded fodder has
come to stay until we can get some
thing better at least. Some object to
the cost of shredding, but I never knew
a man to have shredding done but that
he was pleased with it and would have
more next year.
While the cost looks great, taking In
to consideration the time of getting the
fodder in the dry and the amount saved
and the superior quality over that
standing out in shock until it is husked
by hand and fed out and the con-
venience of feeding and the quality of
manure after feeding, the expense is
not great Any kind of stock eats it
well, and never heard of its making
sore mouths for cattle. / know farm
ers here who feed it the year round
and by this plan are able to have much
more pasture during the summer, as
the field of timothy off which they
would have to make hay for their stock
they can pasture by feeding their corn
fodder.
The best time to shred IS just as soon
as the husked corn will keep when put
in crib. AS early as this the fodder
must be dry on the outside, as there is
a great deal of sap in the stock, and
with a little rain or very heavy deW
the fodder is liable to mold, but later
in the season one need not be so par
ticular about this. Our experience Is
that shredded fodder is not as likely to
mildew as cut fodder. The reason why
we do not know. l built rick 40 feet
long outside last fall by making bot
tom out of rails, the same as for hay.
l find that it keeps equally as well as
timothy hay. and by having a fork
made on purpose it can be pitched into
q wagon and off very well.

LUMP JAW IN CATTLE.
How Animals Become Infected an,
How to Facet a Cure,

How Animals Become Infected and
How to Eject a Cure.
The malady commonly known as
big jaw or lump jaw Is caused by a
fungous germ, writes an Indiana
stockman to Prairie Farmer. 1t makes
its growth on weeds and grass of low
land, taking the form of mildew, which
grows up in spores filled with number
less seeds. These are taken into the
animals mouth with grass and food
and there commence their deadly work.
Animals are most readily infected
with these germs when cutting their
teeth, the fungi getting into the in
famed tissue and thence into the blood.
They start an abscess, not necessarily
in the jaw, but generally there. Pus
forms and discharges, drops on the
grass or food eaten by others of the
herd and, being full of germs, spreads
the disease from one to another. After
the pasture has been affected with
these germs it should be plowed and
cropped for two or three years.
These germs can be killed in the AMI
mails body by a careful treatment of
~ drains Of iodide of potash for a
1000 pound animal, once day for four
days, then twice day for four days
and then once a day for four days.
Rest one week. and then repeat treat
ment. Keep the animal in the barn all
the time, and give iodide of potash in
the drinking water.
The above remedy will exterminate
the disease. but If the jawbone has
become honeycombed and the teeth
loose in the jaw it will not take away
the lump. All cattle having the dis
ease should be kept apart from the
rest of the herd, and the milk from
such cows should not be used, as It is
secreted from the blood. which is the
home Of these germs.

Cross BREEDING of swine.

During recent years a great deal has
1een written and said about the cross
ing of different breeds of swine in or
der to secure larger filters, better graz
ers, more bone. early maturing. better
bacon type. etc. In some Instances the
cross of the breeds may prove advan-
tageous, but it must be done wisely.
else disappointment will oftentimes fol-
low such practice. believe that
with good care and proper selection the
above mentioned desirable character
istics can be secured from any of our
generally recognized s5TTeetsss without the
introduction of any foreign blood. Cross
breeding may sometimes prove useful,
but it is not wise policy to make it a
general practice Professor w. ]. Ken
