The Farm Horse.

Mr.. Overton of Illinois writes to the
Breeders Gazette that he does not believe
the place tor the draft horse is on Ameri-
can farms. He has raised some of the
largest and best draft horses in the county,
and sold them at the yards at figures not
reached by any other draft horse in six
months, but he never could get the work
out of them that he could get out of good
sized American horse with as much Nor
gan blood as he could get. When lhey
tried to breed their small or medium sized
mares to the draft horses they thought
they wanted larger horses. They got
them larger in some parts. 1t might be
in the legs. the head or the body, but
usually not all in one colt No one will
claim that they have as good wearing
breed of horses as they had twenty years
ago. "The farmer who only raises colts
for bis own use, with now aud then ole
to sell, had better stay by the good-sized,
smooth. American-bred horse,n he says

English SparrOws.

We really envy the reputation OF the town
ship of Pleasanton, ILL.,, which is reported
as place where four tons of English spar
rows have recently been killed Does
any one realize what that means to the
farmers of that section? 1t means about
four tons a day of grain and other seed
saved during about six months 10 ayear,
for those pests are most inveterate seed
eaters, DO h when it is sown and while 1t IS
iipening and they will not take weei seed
when they can find grain clover, mlllet
or timothy to pick at. and each one is
know to eat more than its own weight
perhaps twice its weight, every day.
And it means something TO the poultry
keeper. He can feed his chickens in the
spring and have some expectation that
they will obtain what he provides for
them, without being obliged to stand by
while they are eating to keep away the
thievish sparrows. 1t means that
chickens Matched in the incubator and
brought up in the brooder need not have
lice and mites brought to them by the
visitors who leave them in exchange TOR
the food they steal 1t means something
to the neat housewife, who may not have
to clean up the filth tn y leave on verandas
and porches. or the window sils OF I'M

in New England would kill four tons of
them this year, and every city ten times
that amount. Then we might hear the
song sparrow again and the wood sparrow,
the martin, the bluebird, the warblefs
and the vireos, nearly all of which have
been banished from our city parks aud
village streets to the deep woods, where
they are safe from the English sparrow,

weed seeds that can be found there

THE MAYOR OF CHICO

And other Prominent Citizens Endorse
Mr.. Hunters Statement
Hon o. L. Clark, now serving his SEQ
ond term as mayor of Chico, told the
Examiner representative that he con-
sidered Mr.. Hunters recovery nothing
short of miraculous. Mayor Clark said
he believed the cause of suffering hui
manity could be helped by any publicity
given the remedy which restored John
Hunters health.
The Rev. w. G.. White, pastor of the
Chico Presbyterian Church, of which
Mr.. Hunter is member, said: 1.-The
recovery of Mr.. Hunter seems very re-
markable and his present condition is
the wonder of his friends"
Mr.. A. H. Grew, cashier of the Bank
of Chico, was willing to corroborate Mr..
Hunters sworn statement. 81 had
never expected to see. him recover any Of
his lost faculties, much less to see him
able to walk see and work, as he now
is" concluded Mr.. Crew.
The postmaster of Chico, Mr.. W. W.
Wilson, said: II was at Mr.. Hunters
house and saw his pitiable condition
with my own eyes. have also seen
him today, walking the streets and prac-
tically we'll I know that he would
not make an untruthful statement, nor
would he mislead anyone as to the means
that brought about what we all con-
slider one of the greatest cures of the
age"
What the California Miracle Means to
Every Nervous Sufferer
The chief significance of this extraor-
binary cure is that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills are not an ordinary medicine. They
are wonderful in their potency in nerv-
Gus troubles, small or great, and the
cure of such severe nervous disorder as
that of Mr.. Hunter proves the power Of
the remedy in lesser troubles, such as
sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache,
ST. Vitus' dance and nervous debility.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have double
action-on the blood and on the nerves.
If the blood is kept pure, rich and red,
and the nerves strong and active, dis
ease cannot obtain foothold.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are sold at so cents box or six boxes
for $3.50, and may be had of all drug
gists, or direct by mail from DIR. Will

Pork Product Is High.

10 explanation of the reason why the
pork product is high. c. P. REYNOLDS, in
the Chicago Drovers' Journal, says:
Hogs are bringing high price on the
open markets, due to a strictly legitimate
reason. 1t is case of the actual operation
of the law of supply and demand.
Price is an expression of the relation
existing between the quantity demanded
by the consuming public and the supply
the producer is able to put upon the
market. According to a statement issued
by the National Provisioner, the usual
supply of hogs in the hog-raising states
has decreased as follows 10 Georgia. 4
per cent; South Carolina, II per cent;
Mississippi, IL per cent? Alabama and
Indiana. Id per cent; Ohio. IS per cent;
Iowa, II per cent; Arkansas, 10 per cent I;
Texas. Tennessee. and Illinois, oper cent :;
Kentucky. ~ per cent; Nebraska, 80 per
cent; Missouri, IS per cent; Kansas. az
per cent. 10 other words. this means
that these fourteen hog-producing states
have decreased their usual supply OF hogs
this season by something like 20 per cent
of the usual product. It is presumsble
that the hogs raised in the other states not
included in this list have decreased In pro-
duction by a similar amount. But the
demand for swine products has not
diminished, and, on the contrary. has
probably increased. present price for
the products OF the hog is merely the public
expression of the degree that the foodstuff
is desired. and the capacity of the eeder
to supply the demand. The idea is
common that when prices are high TOR
hogs and cattle some one is making money,
and it is true. but, contrary TO the popular
opinion, it is the producer, and not the
packer.
The packer makes the most profit when
prices are moderate, and he makes the least
when they are high.
All over the country the consumer Is
complaining of the high prices OF polk but
it is the producer of the hog who must be
blamed for not meeting the regular sup
ply, and thus forcing up the demand and
consequentlythe price.

There lives in Mars Hill a young man
who, four years ago. made up his mind
that Aroostook Was not big enough for
him, and that Massachusetts offered many
more inducements tor a young man than
his own good country; and, filled with
visions Of sudden wealth in the old Bay
States he migrated there. At the end Of
three years he found himself even worse off
financially than when he went, and re-
turned 10 his native soil. Last year he
bought a farm OF SO acres and began
farming on a small scale. From this years
crops he has raised and sold 81 800 worth
Of potatoes and hay and received his cash.
The farm cost him $1,000 and this fall he
was offered twice that amount for it, but
OF course refused to sell. And one of the
best features Of the young mans farming
is, that he has no large bills for help to
pay out. he having done nearly all the
work himself. One thing which mater
tally assisted him was. of course. the
good yield of crops From ten barrels OF
red Bliss potatoes planted he ealized an
even 900 barrels.
