Catarrh is the short route to cOnsump-

The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective. but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it
is almost entirely matter of guess work

The success ana popularity of The new

AS THE WORLD
REVOLVES |
Red FOX ouTwITs HIS PURsUER

Reynard Makes Use of Boat to Escape
from Hunter.
Farmer Hudson Of Ararat, Pa, had
a queer experience while hunting red
foxes on the mountain above his
home. A fox that had given him
lively chase ran down steep hill and
dashed toward the Susquehanna river
where a boat was lying loosely on the
shore. The force of the jump sent
the craft out in the stream, and when
Hudson came up the boat was in
the middle of the river, floating dowD
the current.
In the boat, standing on the seat in
the stern, was the fox, gazing back at
his baffied pursuer with considerable
satisfaction. Hudson discovered an
other boat on shore, and quietly
pushing it off, padded after the boat
that was bearing the fox away. The
fox's boat was gradually being carried
by the current nearer the opposite
shore, and by the time the hunter in
his boat was half way from the start.

was within rod or two Of the oppo-
site shore.

The Par.nip as stock Feea.

In feeding cattle, the parsnip is
found to be equal, if not superior, to
the carrot, performing the business
with as much expedition, and afford
ing meat of exquisite flavor and a
highly juicy quality. The animals eat
1T with much greediness. 1t is reck-
oned that 80 perches, where the crop
is good, will be sufficient to fatten an
OK three or four years old, when per-
fectly lean, in the course of three
months. They are given in the pro-
portion Of about 30-lb weight morn
ing, noon and night, the large ones
being split in three or four pieces. and
a little hay supplied in the intervals
OF those periods. And when given to
milk cows with little grass hay, in
the winter season, the butter is found
to be of as fine color and excellent
flavor as when feeding in the best
pastures. Indeed, the result of ex-
pertinent has shown that not only in
meat cattle, but in the fattening of
pigs and poultry, the animals become
fat much sooner, and are more healthy
than when fed with any other root or
vegetable; and that, besides, the meat
is more sweet and delicious. The
parsnip leaves, being more bulky than
those of carrots, may be mown off
before taking up the roots, and given
to cows, oxen, or horses by whom they
will be greedily eaten.-Stephens'

The Boys Go Back to the Farm.

The Boys Go Back to the Farm,
A report from Indiana says that of
the total number of men registered
this year in the agricultural college of
that state not more than 10 per cent
are willing or care to accept salaried
positions. The remainder are prepar-
ing for work on their own farms.
There is demand for men trained along
agricultural lines, and it cannot now
be supplied. Contrary to the general
impression very large proportion of
the students in our agricultural col
leges go back to the farms when they
have completed their courses. The
Chic Agricultural College about a
year ago undertook to find out how
many Of the agricultural studl1ts
leaving the college went back U the
farm. The proportion was found to be
very large. A considerable number
of agricultural students naturally drop
into the work of teaching. For this
opportunities are constantly OPENING.
The young man that becomes thor.
oughly imbued with enthusiasm CON
corning agriculture gravitates back to
the farm, and it takes very high wages
TO hold him in any other position.
