ALL AROUND THE FARM.

The cheapest work is. that made by
the wise use Of clover pasture.
A neat appearance Of the farm adds
dollars to the market value Of each acre.
The squeaking wheel and the squealing
pig show a loose spoke in the farming
rig.
One Of the ways to keep COOL while
working out in the sunlight is to avoid
fretting.
Do not refuse TO make an allowance for
your wife, II you expect her to make al
lowances for you.
Cowpeas are grown in favor both for
hay and for manure. They are q sure
crop. Such thing AZ failure seldom
occurs.
A farming community is judged by its
roads. its fences and is buildings as well
as by the crops. Have some neighbor-
hood pride.
When the ground IL too wet to pillow.
turn to the orchard. mend the fences, cut
wood. Anthing Is better than to 60 to
town and do nothing.
The best managers on the farm are
not those who work all the time, but
those who find some time every day for
q little rest. VA man will wear longer
and better II he does. Midland Farmer.

nailed across two and a haN feet from
base parallel points of triangle. Hang
a plummet and line from top to

on the cross-bar by reversing the tri-

in cross bar for center. SO there will be
no mistake. Raise one end Of triangle

Linseed meal is an excellent addition
to the general variety of foods for poul-
try, as It is highly heterogeneous. and 1t Is
much superior to cotton-seed meal, as
the seeds from which it is made are fully
matured, which Is not the case with the
ground cotton seed. Linseed meal may
be fed at all seasons. Even when grain
is allowed it will pay to feed linseed
meal, and when given linseed meal the
hens will lay more eggs 1t is richer in
the essential elements Of growth and
production than many other concentrat-
ed foods. and greatly enriches the
manure. About one gill Of linseed meal
may be added to every quart of ground
grain used. The linseed meal is rich In
mineral and heterogeneous materials. and
serves to balance the grain. the mixture
with half a pound Of ground meat max

HONORS WERE EVEN.
Although the Attorney Ran some
what Of n Risk In Retaliating
ON the Judge.

John r. Eldridge, well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue case before justice Of the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester.
1t happened that Mr.. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
mad been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use slang express
sion, "had it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald.
In a field near the court room donkey
was feeding. just as Mr.. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with resonant
bray.
Just minute, Mr. Eldridge, just a min
ute" said the justice blandly. Il cannot
hear two at once"
The attorney was hard hit, but he said
nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when
the justice was explaining point OF law to
the jury. Again the bray OF the donkey re
sounded through the court room. Mr.. FL
bridge placed his hand at his ear.
Would you mind repeating that, your
honor:" he said in his mildest tones. There
was such an echo that l could not under
stand"
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt OF court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.

stiIl Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. l2th.-Many re-
markable cures have been reported from all
over tine country, but there is one right here
in Franksville which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been given
10 the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison Of this place had been
a sick woman for quite long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms OF what
il generally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison CHANGED one day to hear
OF new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pix,
that was said to be a splendid medicine for
women's weakness. She determined to try
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison say~:--
Il can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
as remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine l have ever known, and
have done Inc great deal Of good"

SHEEP AND FERTILITY.

state of Productiveness.

A good flock Of sheep will do any land
good and is the best Of property for a
run down farm. A Michigan authority
on sheep says: Land that could not
be cropped profitably. owing to wheat
raising. is now yielding larger crops
than when It was virgin soil. Great
opportunities have been presented in
building up these rundown farms.
which could be purchased for half what
they proved to be worth when restored.
Michigan soil recuperates rapidly when
given an opportunity. My land is worth
double what paid for 1t seven years
ago. ripped up some clover sod and
planted It In corn June 81 last. The
crop yielded 100 bushels of grain. An
other field yielded 125 bushels Of ear
corn Yet all this land was SO badly
run down few years ago that 1t would
not raise enough to justify planting It.
These rundown wheat lands. when built
MP. grow as good corn as ever saw in
Iowa or Illinois, in fact, 1t is the best
corn land. owing to its warmth in early
spring. The Michigan feeder has two
sources Of profit. one from the gain Of
his stock and another by the addition
Of the fertility to his farm, which, in the
course Of few years. doubles its value.
All these opportunities are not gone,
by any means. Plenty Of rundown
farms are yet to be had. and the task
OF building them up Is by no means
formidable. with ovine assistance. In
five to seven years values may be
doubled and feeding operations are
bound to pay during that period. ad-
hitting the possibility Of one or two

international Live stock Exposition

International Live Stock Exposition.
Chicago is beginning to consider means for
making the international Live Stock Expo
sition, to be held this fall, better than any
ever held. Over $33, COO, 600 of live stock was
handled at the Union Stock Yards last year,
almost three hundred thousand carloads Of
live stock being received at the Chicago mar
ket during this period. This makes the city
one of the greatest live stock centers in the
world.
The international Live Stock Exposition
has been an educational agency of the great
est value to those who have visited't he show
in recent years from the cattle ranges and
feeding grounds of the west. These sources
OF supply are placed within easy reach Of the
city by such trunk lines OF railway as the
Chicago 4 North Western, which brings to
Chicago each year 10000 carloads Of live
stock, raised and fed in the territory it
reaches. The people living in this rich agri
cultural REGION tributary to Chicago, are
evincing each year more interest in the bet
terment of their stock. The exhibition at
the Union Stock Yards during the Interna-
tional Exposition this fall will be one Of the
most notable ever seen, and its chief value
will be along educational lines, looking to
the improving of breeds and raising of
standards, which means just SO much more
money in the pockets Of the producer.
Full particulars as to the program OF the
International together with announcement
of low railway rates via The North Western
Line will appear later.
