ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES.
Iron and Steel Products to Pay 20
Per Cent More.

A dispatch from Pittsburg yesterday says:
Railroad executives of the districts of the
Central Freight and Truck Line Association
have decided that freight rate advance of
20 per cent must go into effect on the bulk
of the mill and furnace tonnage of Pitts
burg and other districts on or before jan
uary /. The Pittsburg freight committee
will take up the matter at its regular meet
ing on Monday, and then 1t will go at once
to the Central Freight Association.
Leading iron and steel interests of Pitts
burg had no intimat!on Of this. Some were
unwilling to believe the report, for 1t is
only a few years since the railroads made
radical advances all around, and only part
ly toned these down when Andrew Carneg gle
was we'll along with his plan, two years
ago, TO build an independent line to the
seaboard.
On all iron and steel products, to which
the lower commodity rates are applied
there is to be made this advance of 20 per
cent. In the cheaper grain traffic, an adj
vance of Is per cent is to be made. This
will go into effect December 8.

PUTTING lit STRONG
BUT DOESN'T IT LOOK REASONABLE?


This may read as though we were putting it
little strong, because 1t is generally thought by
the majority of people that Dyspepsia in Its
chronic form Is incurable or practically SO. But
we have long since shown that Dyspepsia Is CURA-
BILE nor is 1t such difficult matter at first
appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptcs is that they are
continually dieting, starving themselves. or going
to opposite extreme else deluging the already
overburdened stomach with 'bitters,'' latter din
pills. etc, which invariably increase the diff
fculty II in some cases they do give slight
temporary relief. Such treatment Of the stomach
simply makes matters worse. What the stomach
wants is n REST Now, how can the stomach be-
come rested, recuperated, and at the same time
the body pourished and sustained.
This is a great secret and this is also the secret

success and popularity leaves no doubt as to Its
merit.
The Tablets will digest the food anyway, regard

The sufferer from Dyspepsia, according to dlrec-
lions is TO eat abundance Of good, wholesome
food and use the tablets before and after each
meal and the result will be that the food will be

The Proposed New immigration Law
Regarding Illiterates.

A dispatch from Rome says: The Tri-
buna, commenting on the proposed new law
of the United States to stop the immigra-
ton of illiterates, says this measure is a
new cruel offense to Italy. The journal
urges the government to make a protest
to the United States government, lnasmuch
as the proposed measure will strike espe-
cially at Italy, whose emigration comprises
81 per cent of iIliterates.
The government" 1t concludes. must
obtain veto on the bill from President
Roosevelt. so that the measure may at
least be postponed until the Italian emil
grants are able to take TO the United States
not only the strength of their arms but the
cultivation of their minds"

The Illinois agricultural experiment
station seems to have established some
conclusions from experiment and Oh
servation about the influence of the NJ
trogen gathering bacteria in growing
alfalfa that are of general interest.
Many farmers have tried to grow al
falfa in various sections of Illinois, but
in most cases it has been pronounced
failure. Where alfalfa has been grown
with success it has usually been neces-
sary to SOW it on very rich ground or 20

ence is common not in Illinois alone,
but from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa come reports or
similar experience. The Illinois station
explains it as follows:

EDITORS EXPERIENCE.
How Newspaper Might Sound it We
Always Were Truthful.

A Missouri editor announced that
for just one issue he would tell the
truth. Here are few items from
that issue:
''John BONN, the LATEST mer-
chant in town made trip to Bell
view yesterday. John Doyle, our
groceryman, is doing a poor bust
ness. His store is dirty, dusty and
noxiously odoriferous. How can he
expect to do much? Rev. Styx
preached Sunday night on Charity
The sermon was punk. If the rev.
erend gentleman would live up a
little closer to what he breaches
he'd have bigger congregations.
Dave Sonky died last Saturday at
his home in this place. The doctor
gave it out as heart failure. The fact
is he was drunk, and whisky is
what killed him. His home was a
rented shack in Rowdy street.
Married Miss Sylvia Rhodes and
James Canadian, last Saturday even
ing at the Baptist parsonage. The
bride is a very ordinary town girl
who doesn't know any more than a
rabbit about cooking, and who never
helped her mother three days in er
life. She is not beauty by any
means and has a gait like fat
duck. The groom is well known
here as an up-to-date loafer. He
has been living off the old folks all
! his life and don't amount to shucks.
They will have hard life while
they live together and the News has
no congratulations to offer, for we
don't believe any good can come
from such a union"
/ The issue in which the Missouri
editor told the truth was the last he
ever made. Now, in the spring
time when the dew like diamonds
sparkles in the tender grass, when
sweet thrOated birds make a melody
all the day, subscribers to this paper
while it was published drive out
into the country a short way to
catch a glimpse of a piece of black
skin which hangs suspended from a
barbed wire fence. 1t is all that re-
mains of the once manly form of the
Missouri editor who told the truth
for one week"

Caution!

This is not a gentle word but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for rs cents the only remedy
universally known and remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1868 for the
cure and treatment of consumption
and throat and lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, bat for Sc
we're coughs, bronchitis, croup-and
especially for consumption where
there is difficult expectoration and
coughing during the nights and morn
ings, there is nothing like GermaA
Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the
civilized world.

ALFALFA PLANTS.

IUninoculated plant at the left and inocu-
lated plant with root tubercles and In
creased growth at the right
from the atmosphere, which it would
be able to do by means of it's proper
bacteria, but it is entirely dependent
upon the soil for it's supply of this most
valuable and important element OF
plant food.
To produce good crops of alfalfa
without the nitrogen gathering" bac-
terra requires exceedingly rich soil and
liberal applications of barnyard ma
nure or other heterogeneous fertilizer.
Even the rich black prairie soil OF Il
linois does not furnish sufficient avail
able nitrogen for maximum crops of al
falfa.
Applications of available nitrogen to
Illinois soil produce crops of alfalfa
which yield from two to four times as
much hay as crops which obtain all
their nitrogen from the natural supply
of the soil.
The incubation of Illinois soil with
the proper alfalfa bacteria enables the
alfalfa to feed upon the ineXhaustible
supply of free nitrogen in the air and
the inoculated soil produces just as
large crops of alfalfa as soil which has
been heavily fortified with CONNER
ciaf nitrogen.
On most Illinois soils, excepting lime
stone soils, applications of air Stacked
lime as we'll as incubation with bac-
terra will be advantageous. Most cul-
tivated soils are more or less acid. The
lime corrects the acidity and promotes
the development and activities of the
bacteria.
On some types of soil, probably,
phosphorus can be applied with profit
for the production of alfalfa.

Corn HuSking.

There are several methods of huSk-
ing corn and handling the fodder or sto-
yer. The most common one is to drag
four or more shocks to a central point,
husk and throw the corn in a large
pile on the ground and tie the bundles
of slower in a large shock. The wagon
follows, and the corn is picked up ana
loaded on and hauled to, the storing
place. Later on the slower is hauled
in the barn. The husked ears thus
must be handled twice where once
would do, says an Ohio Farmer writer.
To save this needless work some
farmers make "loaders'' Of strong bur-
lap or canvas about four or four and
half feet square. A loader is laid down
at each shock that is being husked,
and the ears are thrown on it. When
wagon load has been husked, two men
do the loading, picking up the leaders
one at time and dumping into the
wagon with swing motion. This Will
require twenty or more leaders. If the,
wagon is kept in the field while husk-
ing, smaller number will do.
Another way is to use old or new
fertilizer or grain sacks. The open sack
is suspended on a simple tripod. A
sack is thus suspended for each husker,
and when each sack is filled it is de-
tached, and another takes it's place.
When the wagon is kept with the husk-
ers, the one bushel corn baskets may
be used. They cost but a few cents
each.
