One Out of
ThOus ands

Hore a man writes that he has after
years of suffering from catarrh OF the nose
and throat at last begun to experience the
delight of perfect freedom from colds and
throat trouble. tie states that he has been
treating himself by the Mackenzie
method" for two months and that he
hasn't the slightest doubt but that two
more will see him once again we'll m an.
He says that no one who has not had his
head continually stopped up and his
throat most of the time raw and sore, and
hearing gradually growing worse, can
appreciate the boon which this Macken-
zied treatment has been to him.
He is one out of the thousands who re-
turn similar testimony of the effective
ness of the Method" And yet this
"Method" is simple, can be applied by
ones self in few minutes each day: IL
is not salt water douche nor a blood
purifier. Catarrh is germ disease and
it ID necessary to destroy the germ
whether they be in the nose or the blood
or elsewhere before the cure is accom-
plished. A sarsaparilla removes merely
the waste matter from the blood; it is not
germicidal and therefore cannot cure Ca
tarrh. A salt water douche or other
douche for the nasal passage cannot cure,
because the catarrhal Inflammation In the
great majority of cases extends to the
minute capillary tubes back OF the nose
which cannot be reached by douches.
Are you interested to learn something
of the Mackenzie treatment? Full in
formation on request.

never makes any gains in winter; IN
fact his animals come out in the spring
weighing less by a hundred pounds
than they did the fall before. Not only
must this loss be made good, but the
loss of condition also. Now, If he had
bought and used good bull at the
start his calves would have been SO
much better that his pride in them
would have induced him to feed and
shelter them better than he did the
scrubs. As well kept animals always
reciprocate for care and attention they
become an object lesson in breeding
and feeding too obvious to be ignored.
Thus the owner of we'll bred cattle be-
comes almost unconsciously a good
feeder He fixes up his barns. He looks
to the water supply. He studies feed
ing rations, subscribes for farm papers,
attends fairs and breeders associations
and farms better in many ways. / have
known the purchase of a single bull to
bring about the above results. When
we think of the thousands of cattle
marketed every year at loss to their
breeders and feeders and that so few
make assignments, it speaks volumes
for the business and proves that farm
ing is the best business on earth.

GOOD VERSUS POOR BEEF.
Simply a Question of Proper Feed
Ing and Care of Cattle.

Simply a Question of Proper Feed
Ing and Care of Cattle.
A hustling advertising firm took for
its motto, keeping everlastingly at il
brings success" While this may be
true in some cases, it would seem not
to apply to instructions as to the best
methods of feeding animals. For years
the Stockman and Farmer has been
DINING into the ears Of its readers
the necessity Of economy In beef pro-
duction. When we say economy we do
not mean short rations, says Lucius
Stockwell, but just the reverse. Econ
omy in beef production means good
animals, full feed, good shelter.
The steer born in spring ought to be
sold July 1 after he is two years old.
He ought to weigh at that age not less
than l,4OO pounds. He ought to be well
bred and possess well rounded form.
That looks easy, especially when we
read of such weights being attained by
vearlings. But a glance at the market
quotations would indicate that good
cattle are very difficult to produce.
When we see some steers sell at cents
and some at 8, in the same yards the
same day, and when we find that the
hest ones are scarce and the poorer
ones numerous, 1t would look as though
the art of feeding is well guarded &C.
cret possessed by but few. On the con-
+rarv the Stockman and Farmer has
used barrels of ink in its efforts to gel
the feeders of the country to grow the
six cent kind and told them hundred
t,mes inst how to do 1t. Given some
fairly good cows land most farmers
have that kind. then the bull-here is
where most people fall down. Inc nay
and corn and grass are just as good az
the six cent cattle eat. but the pun IL
too often the four cent kind. ana hls
calves of course are the same. the man
at the elevator buys your corn at say
5o cents. He puts it into his elevator
and expects to take out fifty cent corr
or more. The farmer puts a bushei Oh
6fty cent corn into his four cent s'eei
and expects little in return. nor ls ~

Sheep are fed for a double purpose
wool and mutton. Don't make the mis-
take of feeding for mutton and starv-
ing for wool, because when feeding for
the one you are also feeding for the
other, and if you imagine that feeding
may be curtailed or neglected when
only wool is wanted, you make a Sc
rious mistake Good wool requires uni
form feeding, for a short period Of dep
rivation causes weak streak all
through the fleece, and buyers are al
ways on the lookout for defects that
will reduce the prices. Sheep for wool
need not be fed like those fed for fat,
but should be kept in a good, thrifty
condition throughout the year. When
the object of feeding is both wool and
mutton, feed for the mutton, and you
get the fleece. You may take a thin
lamb and fatten him for mutton in a
short time, but his fleece will be infe
rior, whereas, if the lamb has been
kept in good condition continuously,
feeding for fat will merely improve
the fleece.
Salt For Sheep.
Some very valuable experiments have
recently been made in France regard
ing the value of salt for sheep. Three
lots were treated alike in the matter of
food, except that one lot had no salt
supplied, second had half an ounce
given them every day and the rest
three-quarters of an ounce. The results
show that those having the allowance
of half an ounce of salt did the best.
These gained four and half pounds
more than those that received three
quarters Of an ounce. All the sheep
that were supplied with salt made 1874
pounds more wool and had a better
fleece than those which had none.
Wool VIII BE Higher.
All indications point to higher prices
for wool next season. An era Of spec
ulation is on If signs of the times can
be read Alright. Secured woods are now
quoted about cents above prices
prevalent month ago. The small sup
plies In London, the known shortage In
Australia, the strength of the South
American market, the depleted stocks
I'm the United States, together with the
belief that the next heavyweight sea-
son In the finished product will open
at an advance, have combined to make
a good many persons feel the necessity
of increasing their supplies Of WOOL.

Small Farms.

~ Fss+f - + ~. -
The. man with only small farm is
often discouraged. He is inclined te
think that there is; on opportunity fa1
him to accumulate. This is a great
mistake. There are many men own
ing small farms who are comparative
Nv rich, and there will be many more
in the future, as people become bet
ter educated in all departments OF
agriculture. It matters not how much
land man may own, he has no more
time to study and manage his compli-
Gated affairs than. the imam owning
but few acres; and there are few
business enterprises that are success
full unless the owner has time to
study, manage and oversee details.
The man with small farm has time
to devote to some speciality. His
small, farm is easy to keep and i'm
prove; taxes are light, and not much
hired labor required; hence, he does
not need so much money as the owner
of large farm, as his expenses are
SO much less. Quite often the net in
come of small farms ID greater than
that Of larger ones. The work is
much pleasanter and easier, as there
is not so much on the mind, there is
more leisure time and less confusion.
Those who are not able to own large
farms should not feel discouraged, but
should study local surroundings to
find special things to raise for quick
money returns, and make the head as
sist the hands.-Cor Epitomist.

Cultivation Of Sage.

It will take about one and 'one-half
pounds of seed to plant one acre, at
81 per pound. Sow seed in burned
BEDS, same as you would tobacco.
When plants are three inches high,
reset in rows three feet apart, Is
inches in drill, by hand or with plant
setter. Cultivate to keep free of
weeds. When the leaves turn to a
shade of brighter green than when
growing, it is ready to harvest. Cut
the stems three or four inches long
with sharp knife, and place on racks,
same as broomcorn, in an airy shed,
about one bushel to the rack, as
plenty of air is necessary to cure
properly. One acre will produce from
300 to 500 pounds the first year, and
II It lives through the winter, which
it will do IL winter is not too cold, it
will produce 600 to 1900 pounds the
second year. Az to prices, It sells at
wholesale for from eight to twelve
cents per pound If put on the market
before Thanksgiving, and from six to
ten cents il placed on the market
after that time. At the lowest figures
It will pay $1s per acre, and at the
highest estimate 500 per acre, but
should It live over the second year it
would pay from $50, the lowest esd
mate, to $144, the highest per acre
