COMMON HORSES WAITED.
Medium Grades for Farm WORK NOW
in Steady Demand in tie Chi
cage Market.

Recently the demand for horses at
the Chicago stockyards has improved.
Not only are the cXportable horses
bringing better prices than for some
time, but there seems TO be quite
brisk buying for farm use. We have
frequently pointed out the fact that
the conditions that have existed dur
inc the past eight years would natural
Nv bring about q scarcity of farm
horses. We have made close inquiry
through our correspondents and find
that in hundreds of counties in these
western states less breeding has been
done of late years than formerly.
Meanwhile, horses are rapidly wear
ING out in farm work. The men that
had horses to shoot six years ago, now
have not even one good farm horse to
sell. and are even looking for horses to
buv. So, now we are told that at the
Chicago stockyards a feature Of the
trade is the better demand for
medium chunks for farm horses"
Medium to good animals are quoted
at $55 to 500, and select chunks at $95
to $12O. The demand for mules for
farm work is also good, these animals
selling at $65 and large ones from $3.50
to $40. There is an immense amount
of work on farms that can be done only
bv horses; and this means constant
demand that can be counted on by
horse raisers.-Farmers' Review.

A RANCHMAN's EXPERIENCE.

Lea, S. Oak, March 3d.-Wm. Fl.
Neelan, a ranchman, whose headquar-
ters are here, says:
81 have been afflicted with Kidney
Trouble for several years. I had a
very severe pain in the small of my
back, so bad that [ could scarcely sit
in the saddle.
81 also had frequent desire to uri-
nate when riding and the pain and an
noyance [ endured was very great.
81 tried many medicines without
getting any better till at last I was
told to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 have used in all six boxes of this
medicine and can say that they have
done me more good than anything else
/ ever used.
81 have had more relief and comfort
since using Dodd's Kidney Pills than I
had for years before"

DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the Unit
ed States. A recommend recently re-
'ceived from a Catholic institution in
the Southwest reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
ST can testify from experience to
the efficiency of Peruna as one of the
very best. medicines, and it gives me
pleasure TO add my praise to that of
thousands who have used it. For years

lief. Last spring I went to Colorado,
hoping to be benefited by change OF
climate and while there friend adj
vised me to try Peruna. After using
two bottles I found myself very much
improved The remains of my old dis
ease being now so slight, [ consider
myself cured, yet for a while intend

rhoea. I have not a doubt that cure

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

A few sheep or Angora goats are a
valuable addition to any stock on
herd, and can be raised cheaply and
with little care or attention.
The dog crop" always takes care OF
itself. What the successful farmer
needs is more sheep and less dog.
Look after the sheep and lambs.
Ground corn and oats make q fine
stock food, and these grains grow in
almost ever section, hence are profit
able food, because of their economy.
Pasturage is as essential to hog
raising as it is to cattle. Have a good
range for your swine and the feed bills
will be lessened and the profit in
creased.
Hogs, though not a cleanly animal,
thrive better in dry, clean quarters
than in dirty, cramped pens. Use a
little care with your pigs as well as
other stock.-Cotton Planters Jour
nal

COOKING FEED PAYS.
Small and Cheap Outfit Which Is One
of the Best Money Savers on
the Farm.

Many do not know the advantages
derived, nor have they any idea how
cheap young pigs can be fed, for the
reason they have no convenient way
for cooking. The cut shows small
and cheap outfit which is one of the
best money savers on the farm. In
cooking food for pigs I cook about
three parts mangels or turnips and
one part oat dust. After boiling well
mix little barley or pea meal
when feeding. For poultry I use
more meal for the roots.
Make box, d, of elm or oak plank

this nail bottom of heavy sheet

fore the box is made, then make the

cous membrane, restoring it to its nor
NAL state, would consequently cure all
these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, whether it be in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys,
or pelvic organs. A remedy that will
cure it in one location will cure it IN
all locations.
Peruna is such a remedy. The Sis
ters of Charity know this. When ca
tarrhal diseases make their appear
ance they are not disconnected, but
know exactly what remedy to use.
These wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never-failing safe
guard. They realize that when dis
ease is of catarrhal nature, Peruna IS
the remedy. Dyspepsia and female
weakness are considered by many to
be entirely different diseases-that
dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomach
and female weakness is due to catarrh
of the pelvic organs the Sisters are
fully aware, consequently Peruna is
their remedy in both these very COM
mon and annoying diseases.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use OF
Peruna, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

pnt.h.aas for the sheep,

The rutabaga turnip is much used in
our northern states, and is preferred
by sheep to all other roots. Lambs
weighing rs to 100 pounds will con-
sumo three to four pounds of roots
daily and from one to two pounds of
grain, the roots usually taking the
place of 80 to 40 per cent. of the full
grain ration. Two parts OF oats to
one of bran is a good grain ration
when fed in connection with roots.
When given little else, sheep will con-
sumo Is to 20 pounds of roots daily

Current opinion has it that the col
lege girl spends much time in think
ing-in deciding what stand she shall
take upon various abstract and abs
truse questions, when the time comes
for her to go out into the world. A
candid confession, and estimate from
an upper class student in one OF the
large colleges for women gives a fair
statement Of the real state Of things
There are two declensions of the
theme college woman--tnat Of the ac
tual living girl and that of the exalted

defined, in the imagination of the out
side world. One of the most common
delusicns produced by the existence
in popular conception Of this ideal col
lege girl is the falacy that thinking
constitutes one OF her everyday hab-
it's People imagine that the college
girl exercises her brain as man does
his horses; that she gives each partic-
ular faculty Of her mind (speaking
unscientiGlcally), a daily constitution
al.
THE college woman herself knows
that this is rot true, She realizes
that she differs widely from the ideal
of herself held by the world at large,
and particularly is she conscious that
her brain processes are by no means
OF the superior order generally ima-
gined. The college speaking
