It is very seldom that we pay much at.
tention to reports circulated in reference
to the virtue of patent med icine, as we
have always considered that reports Of this
nature were more or less fictitious and got
ten up for the purpose of creating demand
from the public. But the publication in
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tanned from using that famous remedy st.
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that it ia a
remedy for outward application only, led
us to make trials of it in our own family.
One, case Of lumbago OF long standing
which had previously resisted every form
few applications of the Oil. Another was
sprained ankle, with severe pain. This
was instantly relieved and permanently
cured in a few days by the use Of st. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia
it acted almost like magic, so quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was SO highly satisfactory that
we determined in the interest of the gen.
eral public to make thorough local inves
tigation among dealers and others who have
sold and used st. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and Co. as headquarters fol-
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Brlggate Store, and on making known the
object OF our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
were selling more than a thousand bottles |
OF st. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade |
was constantly increasng-that it was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly |
spoken OF by everyone who used it. The |
Manager said he had heard hundreds OF
people say they had been permanently cured |
Of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, and sim. |
liar complaints by the use of this famous Oil |

Keeping COWS CLEAN.
Simple Method Described by n West.
ern Farmer who Has Used II
Quite Successfully.

I think can tell some farmers how
to keep their cows clean in the stable.
Many COWS are stabbed in stalls with
out gutter or stanchion and with an
open manger, and come out in the
spring with a veneer of filth on their
hin lquarters which requires the
rains of spring and half the summer
to remove.
My COW stable is too small, and hav.
ing more horse stalls than l needed,
took the COW stable for calves and tried
keeping our two cows in horse stalls
with the hangers cut down in front Sc
they could reach over. But never
could keep them clean with all the bed,
ding could use. This winter have
it fixed to suit me and only spent a
little time.
I took inch boards from a WORKOUT
fence, and 2x4 scantling for stills, and
made platform of each stall for the
COW to stand on, just so their hind feet
are on the edge when their noses reach
the manger. Horizontal Stats from the
side of manger next the COW so she
cannot step forward; below this is a

RAISING GOOD CALVES.
In No Other Way Can the Average
Farmer Obtain Profitable
Herd of Dairy Cows,

like to fuss with calves. l like
the calves because like good cows
and realize the fact that the founda-
ton of good cow is a good calf.
sometimes l come across a good COW
that can be bought at reasonable
price, but the surest way to get a
good cow is to raise her from a calf
of known good parentage. There are
people who yet believe they can feed
butter-fat into milk. My experience.
however, is that when you have a COW
that gives blue milk, blue milk she
will make, even on the richest kind
of food, and when it is given to her
in fullest supply And when YOU
have COW that gives rich, creamy
milk that butter-makers and milk
consumers like, rich milk she will
give even if she has nothing but
corn-stalks or poor hay to eat. Feed
determines the quantity of milk.
while the blood of the animal de-
termines the milk's richness. For
that reason it does not pay to bother
with calves of blue-milk stock (un.
less for selling milk, and hardly
them. Nor does it pay to fuss with
calf that for any reason is lack.
ing in individual vigor. But any Wig
orous heifer calf of good stock is too
good for the butcher when it is so
easy to make a good cow of it in
not more than two years time. The
Guernseys and Jerseys have the rep.
utation of giving the richest milk.
But there is yet a great difference in
this respect in individual COWS, or
perhaps rather in COW families. Just
at present l am raising a calf from
a Jersey dam, whose milk contains
more butter-fat than l have ever seen
in milk before. Not having much
milk on which to bring this calf up,
1 have tried milk substitutes, espe-
cially clear flaxseed-meal and a calf
meal. 1 began giving flaxseed-meal
on the third day by the teaspoonful,
gradually increasing to two hand
fuls at a feed in the fifth or sixth
pail, and boiling water put on it,
making thin soup, which was mixed
with what skim-milk I could spare
for the purpose, and fed bloodwarm.
At six weeks of age the calf meal
which seems to consist mostly of
flaxseed-meal or oil meal-was sub
stituted for the faxseed-mea, two
good handfuls at feed. This calf
also receives dry bran and other
ground grains, and eats several hand
fuls out of its pail, some cut clover
hay, etc, and has done so well that
I believe it possible to bring up good
calves practically without milk, ex-

Peruna a Preventive and Cure for Colds,

Last December The Journal began
aqitating the proposition TO put all
state officials on a fat salary, and have
the fees and earnings Of each office
placed directly in the state treasury.
Many of the newspapers and public

for discussion, and hundreds Of able
articles and communications were
written on the subject.
The county conventions in March
and April Of all parties adopted reso-
Iutions demanding the enactment of
this reform, and candidates for the
Legislature expressed themselves in
favor Of it. No one opposed it.
The journal addressed letters to
the candidates for governor, and all
the prominent aspirants for nomina
