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 $4,000 600 five 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 the 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 al the
Chicago l. 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 agra
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 1nterna-
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 Northwestern
Line will appear later. -

Whit Makes StuAted PIGS.

What Makes Stunted Pigs.
Sometimes these are caused by an In
herited disability to make use OF the
food given them, but probably more often
by conditions after birth. II they are
watched it will be found that the other
pigs are driving them from the teats and
late, from the trough. Having once be-
come Weakened they are less able than
the other pigs to fight for their food and
have to be satisfied with short rations. 1t
is evidently part of the plan of Nature
to eliminate the weakling as breeder.
However, these same pigs, II given .
chance at the teats and the trough, often
develop into good sized hogs and prove
profitable. We would not, however, ad-
wise using such an animal as breeder.
The hint that Nature has given US should
be taken. We agree with her in wanting
for breeders only the most vigorous

Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. l2th.-Many re:
markable cures have been reported from all
over the country but there is one right here
in Franksville which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been given
to 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 al! the painful symptoms Of what
is generally known az 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 Pills,
that was said to be 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 says
II can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Plus
the best medicine l have ever known, and
have done me a great deal of good"

SHEEP AND FERTILITY.
With Divine Assistance Hun-Dow'
Farms Can BE <Restorea to High
State Of Productivenes0.

A good flock of sheep will do any lan4
good and is the best Of property for q
run down farm. A Michigan authority
on sheep says: Land that could not
be cropped prof1tably, 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 it seven years
ago. l ripped up some clover sod and
planted it in corn June ~ last. The
crop yielded 100 bushels of grain. An
other field yielded 1875 bushels Of ear
corn. Yet all this land was SO badly
run down few years ago that it would
not raise enough to justify planting 1t.
These rundown wheat lands, when built
Iowa or Illinois; in fact, it 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 it's 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, adj
hitting the possibility of one or two
bad years."

has been little complaint from the ex-
IRENE eastern or western parts of the
state. These poison zones are charac-
terized by the abundance Of the lark
spurs, lupines, death camas and wild
parsnip, which are far less frequent or
entirely absent further east or west.
The loco zone is we'll defined section
near the central part of the state, while
the water hemlock is frequent along
streams from the foothills westward,
being rare or entirely absent in tho
eastern plains.
''The white loco weed is small pea
like plant, six inches to a foot high,
with conspicuous white or cream-col-
ored flowers from thick woody per-
sistent root It is distributed over
the whole plains region of the United
States from Alberta and Assiniboia
south into Mexico, and from Minnesota
and Kansas westward to the Rockies.
Extensive losses of stock, attributed to
this species, are reported in New Mex
leo. Colorado and Montana. and to q
less extent in most Of the other states
In the region mentioned.
Sin Montana the white loco is found
throughout all the eastern plains, and
IL not infrequent in the mountain
meadows up to 5000 feet altitude. It
is very unevenly distributed, and APP
pears not to be found in Sufficient
abundance to be dangerous except In
the district from Livingston to Billings
and from the mountains on the south
northward to the Musselshell, and
around the Little Belt and Highwood
mountains.
I'm some parts Of the loco zone the
losses sometimes average as high as so
per cent. of the lambs produced and IN
several localities the sheepmen have
been compelled to dispose OF their
sheep and stock up with cattle. The
loco is found mainly along dry rocky
ridges or gravel plains, but exhibits
great capacity for growing In nearly
every kind Of soil. It is relatively
recent introduction into the state and
Is spreading from the infected centers.
"There is considerable evidence to
show that the buffalo were the original
agents of it's introduction, either
through having eaten the mature seeds
and then scattered them. or from their
habit of wallowing."
AS to exterminating the loco plant,
the bulletin states that experiments In
digging it at certain seasons OF the
year have been most effective, and this
seems to be the only remedy.

Permanent Sheep Pasture.

The value of a permanent pasture
for sheep has frequently been overes-
timated. While it is undoubtedly true
that pasture of this kind will support
more sheep than q temporary field OF
grass. it is also true that sheep should
be utilized largely in cleaning up stub
bic fields, eating rape sown In oats in
the spring, and running in corn1elds
after the husking. BY this means Ter
tility is much more evenly and prohta-
bly, distributed than If the sheep were
tent in one field Ill the time.

HANDY ROPE AND RINGS.

HANDY HOfE AND H1NOS.
the horses mouth for a bride and
around the nose at d in Fig. 2, for hal
ter. AS a bride it is one of the incest
things to teach a colt to lead. The
operation is always to pull the colt
sidewise so as to be sure to move him.
In pulling on the rope it pulls to some
extent through the colts mouth and
cuts and hurts. and the instant the
rope is loosened it quits hurting. and
we do not have to make very many
side pulls until the colt will follow you
at your command. AS halter it can
be used for horse, COW, calf, sheep,
etc. It is very handy to carry; can be
put in the pocket. It comes in good
use to get the horses out of the pasture
in the morning. We can make halter
with each ring and lead two horses.
The halter will fit any kind and sized
animal.
It is just the thing to ring an old
SOW with. Loop it around the upper
jaw and tie her to a post or fence, as
in Fig. 3, and she will just stand and
pull back her best, and squeal, and
hold perfectly still for one to put the
ring in, or fill her nose full for that
matter. It is easy to get it of of the
nose, for as soon as the rope is united
and let loose the SOW can throw 1t of,
for it will not stick on account Of the
ring. It is also the same way with the
horse, AS soon as the loop is taken out
of the mouth or from over the nose,
by holding to the rope it will unfasten
itself, the loop running through the
ring. It is the handiest cheap thing
we have on the farm-A. S. FOrsman,

HANDY ROPE HALTER.
1t Consists of Half-Inch Cotton Rope,

We use it for bride, a halter, and
to ring hogs with. In using it for q
bride or halter, we approach the horse
on the left hand and take the ring in
our right hand; throw it up over the
horses neck by putting it under and
over the neck from the right side, as
at a, in Fig. 2. draw the ring down
under the jaw at c, double the rope
and put it through the ring as shown
at b in Fig. l, turn the loop one-half
over so the rope crosses where it goes

were stilled; he had not walked. And
so to her bed and the swift, tranquil

She was reused by the singing of
bugles and the stir of drums. From
