'our New Minister Monday.

Denman Thompson and George W.
Ryer's best OF all rural plays, "Our
New Minister" more popular now than
ever, and brighter and more attractive
than before because OF it's new massive
scenic environment, will make its an
nual visit to the Grand on Monday ev-
ening next. There isn't much us in
saying anything about "Our New Min
lister" nowadays its many merits are so
well known, save to advise everybody
to go and see it. The management
wisely retains the entire company seen
last season, thus John Terriss, Charles
Barker. John p. Brawn. Henry r. Scott,
Louis Furce, Grant Foreman, W. c.
Tanner, Ethel Brooke Ferguson, Phila
May, and Mrs. George w. Barnum will
again appear in their favorte roles.

OSTRICH LOGIC.

"When ! can't see danger there is no
danger" That's the logic of the ostrich
which hides its head and exposes its
body to the hunter. There are not a
few people who seem to have gone to
the ostrich to learn logic. The most
dangerous enemies Of humanity are the
enemies which can't be seen, the disease

Scours Destructive of Swine Life
That more hogs die every year OF
scours than from any other ailment to
which swine are subject, is a well es-
tablished fact, says Texas Stock Jour
nal How best to curtai1 the ravages
OF this disease has always been a
problem, but Me1ssner Brothers, sue
cesSfu1 feeders near Reinbeck, Ia,
believe they have solved it, They
maintain that eternal vigilance from
the time piggy is narrowed till he IS
six months old is the only safeguard
Don't overfeed the sow. Don't feed
sour Swi11 sour food Make no
sudden changes of feed. Feed the SOW
nothing for the first day after far
rowing, but a~-thin slop and, on the
second day a half ear of corn in the
morning and in the evening
with swil1 little thickened- Increase
1T gradually SO that on the sixth day
you will give four five ears Also
give the same kind of SwilI she has
had before the narrowing. With good
sw1ll and good pasture you may safely
dispense with oats. In the absence or
grass, oats may be fed with good re-
suits. The above are not irOn-c1ad-
rules but each SOW must be fed by
herself, and the condition of the SOW
taken into account If she is fever1sh
and has small litter, she will have
to be fed lighter than a SOW show
ing no signs of fever and having
large litter.

Cattle Raising in MADAGASCAR.

Phenomenal opportunities in live
stock raising in Madagascar are pre-
sented, according to Consul Covert at
Lyons, who in a report to the depart
ment of state says: Business men
interested in Madagascar state that a
profitable cattle trade may soon be op-
ened between that colony and the
Transvaal- The southern part of the
island is a rich field for raising cat
tie and is good for little else The
cattle now there, owned by the natives
number from 500, 900 to 1,OOO, 900 In
Madagascar cattle can be bought for
$3.50 per head or less, and they will
sell in the Transvaal for $67-50- 1t is
announced in one of the Paris papers
that 5000 head of cattle were trans
ported from Madagascar to the Trans
vaa1 this year at a profit of Sis, 800.

What Kind of Horse to Raise.

We the advice is given to the
farmers to raise only draft horses.
That advice is very good to the farm
er that has a mare suitable to breed
to a heavy draft horse, but there are
multitudes of farmers that cannot at
ford to purchase suitable mares on
which to raise draft horses. The ad-
vice is also given to raise coach horses,
but even $5O0-coach horses cannot be
raised on the kind of foundation stock
available A farmer must consider
what he has. If his mare is heavy
enough to become the mother of
heavy draft horse, she should be bred
to the best draft stallion in reach, ir-
respective of what the service fee may
be- If he has a mare that will only
produce a horse heavy enough for
roadster, then breed to the best blood
in that line that can be reached. Above
all, the man that wants to take advan-
tage of the improving horse market
should not breed his mare to the cheap
nondescript stallion whose fee is so
low that it is positive proof that he is
not worth buying up The really valu-
able stallion has high market price
to-day and such horses do not have to
stand at an insignificant fee.
