wise Women Use the Great

Paine'S Celery

II il the Only Remedy That Can
Provide Tor the Increase Of

From every section of the land,
from Maine to California, strong

In many cases so weak as TO be bed
ridden, who have been enabled to re-
same their places in the family and
in social life, enjoying health, vigor
and true happiness, all through the
aid of that great blood purifier, blood
maker and health giver, Paine's
Celery Compound.
When paineHs Celery Compound is
used, the rapid change In color, flesh
and expression of the face is so
marked and observable that repair
of the wasted tissues might well be
called renewal of life.
Painets Celery Compound is the
only medicine that can effectively
increase the proportion of red corr
puscles In the blood. This is a
source Of power over all blood dis

Special Territory Quarantine.

By an order just issued by the
bureau of animal industry, a
large territory in Oklahoma here
tofore above the general quaran-
tine line has been placed under
special quarantine. Cattle can
not leave it except for immediate
slaughter unless they have been
inspected by an agent ofthe bureau
of animal industry and found free
from ticks. Certificates of in
spectlon from the Oklahoma live
stock board are to no avail. BY
this order the following counties,
which were above the quarantine
line, are placed under special
quarantine: Day, Dewey, Noble,
Blaine, Roger Mills, Custer, Can
adian, Washita and Greer, and
about one-half of Logan, Okla
homa and Cleveland counties and
half of the Ponca and Otoe reser-
vations. This action was taken
by the bureau of animal indus
try because of the numerous cases
of infection which have been
traced to cattle originating in
this part of the territory.

now, and it is hard to buy them
for early delivery, the owners de-
string to make all the weight they
can on the abundant pasture. At
such prices it is evident that fat
cattle will have to sell at pretty
good figures to pay for the corn
they eat, for they are not going
to eat very cheap corn. The hog
end of the problem is just as per-
picking. Cattle and hogs are
hard to find and furthermore they
are hard to buy so that they will
pay for grain. Feeders are hesi-
tating, with exception of a few
who have the nerve to pay big
prices for stock that will finish
with short feed, And probably
it is we'll TO hesitate now as to
take the long chances with cattle
that require a long feed. The ex-
tent of feeding will be determined
to a considerable extent by the
future prices of feeding steers, and
unless they are cheaper good
many lots will be without theil
usual number.

BEEF SUPPLY DECREASING.
Two Many She Cattle are Being
Slaughtered--A Shortage
VIII Result.

The available beef supply west
of the Observation-Disclosures river
is gradually and persistently de-
creasing. Look at the following
facts on them and figure a bit.
The calves of 1900 furnished the
two year old beeves of this year.
The livestock census shows that
in 1900 the visible supply Of
steers two years old and upwards,
west of the above waterline. was
100000 head. On the basis of
the census the supply for 1902 is
I,75O,0O0 head. In the territory
named, including all of the
Dakotas. there were shown TO be
G,6lG,0OO calves, 3.44G,0O0 year
ling heifers, 2,732, 600 steers, two
year old, 2.05S,OO0 steers, three
years old and over and 100000
beef COWS. The 4,354,000 mich
COWS are not pertinent, The live
stock experience is that there are
killed. annually, for cou.ump-
ton I per cent of the calves. 20
per cent of the yearling steers. 90
per cent of the two-year-olds and
IS per cent of the three-year.oId
steers. Figuring upon this basis
the available supply of beef ami
mails is short in the western
country, if not in the east also.
The startling feature in the late
livestock census in the disclosure
that to supply, evidently, the in
creasing demand for beef We are
killing too large per cent of our
female cattle-killing them at n
faster rate than we are producing
them. In killing the source OF
supply a serious condition is be.

"Have you ever noticed how

Without having any actual data
on the subject, should say that
fully one-third, perhaps half, use
that means of exit. It is some.
thing | could never understand
because there are SO many more
comfortable ways of doing it
There could not possibly be a
more agonizing death that carbol'
ic acid produces. The corrosive
fluids burn the mouth, tongue and
throat, then passes into the stom'

hot lead. 1t doesn't last long

ARE NOT FOR FULL FEEDING.
Many of Missouri's Cattle Purchas-
ers VIII Not Come Back This
Winter.


"There will not be many cattle
fed in Missouri as you would think
from the number of stockers and
feeders being shipped out into the
state from Kansas City," said u
prominent feeder from Warrens-
burg today. "a great many of
the cattle now going to the
country will be roughed through
the winter and put on grass in the
spring and later short-fed for
market. There is a world of
roughness in the country. Hay
was a bountiful crop and is good
and cheap. Young hogs can
scarcely be gotten at any price,
and feeding cattle without hogs
to run after them is u new eX-
perience to Missouri feeders. 1t
means that in order to get the
full benefit of their feed they will
have to grinde very bushel of corn
that goes into their cattle. This
means an additional expense and
lot of bother in feeding. Feed
ers are not looking for cheap beef
within the next year. Neither
are they looking for cheap pork,
They figure that by buying young
cattle and roughing them through
the winter at practically no cost
they will make more money than
by feeding them now. BY spring
there will be another crop of pigs,
and young hogs can be go tten to
swell the profit on corn.
