the customer probably has no intention

Canadian Cheese Exports.

Canadian cheese Exports.
The Canadian foreign cheese trade
continues to grow. That country long
ago passed the United States in the
matter of exports of cheese, and has
been ever since increasing its lead
A report from Montreal says that this
year, that port was virtually cleared
of old cheese by April first, whereas.
that does not usually occur till the
first of May. The cheese export sea
son of 1902-03 is therefore closed
There had been exported from that
port up to the first of April 2,432 .6S2
boxes of cheese, as compared with
2,2S5,561 boxes the previous season,
which means an increase of 1871, 121
boxes for this year. The value OF
cheese exported from Canada in the
last twelve months is estimated a;
S21 100000. The Canadians are plan
ming great things for the future, and
are expecting a great run OF cheese
making this coming season on ac-
count of the fine way in which the
pastures are starting out. None of the
meadows are reported to have winter
killed and the recent seedlings are com
ing through the winter in good shape
At the present time large hay crop
is looked for. In England the cheese
market is said to be demanding large
supplies, which cannot be filled before
the beginning of summer It is believ-
ed that cheese making In England is
on the decline, which would be fur.

cheese makers.

soft Corn Gives Good Results.


From The Farmers Review: turing
,se past year there has been much diff
ference of opinion among stockmen
concerning the feeding value of soft
corn caused by the early September
frost OF 1902. Early last October
Professors Kennedy and Holden OF
the Iowa Agricultural College issued
a report showing the chemical analy-
sis of soft corn and discussing the
feeding value OF the same. They claim
ed that on a dry matter basis it was
equal to mature corn for feeding pur-
poses. On account Of the large
amount of moisture present more
would have to be fed to get good re-
suits. At that time the Animal In
lustry department commenced a prac-
ical feeding experiment to test the
same. Sixteen steers of uniform breed
ng and quality we're divided into two
OTIS of eight each. One was fed on
nature corn grown in 1900, and the
other on the soft corn of 1902. These
steers we're fed six months and mar

An Old Lady's Discovery.

Garrett, Ark, May 1Sth.-For IS
years Mrs. Mary Dunlop of this place
has suffered with Kidney trouble,
which was so bad at times that 1t
made her life burden. She tried
much medicine and many treatments,
but got no better.
At last, however. Mrs. Dunlop
claims to have found perfect rem
edy, and she is so pleased at the won
derful cure she herself has received,
that she is telling all her friends and
praising the medicine to everyone
she meets.
The name Of this medicine is
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and it has done
wonderful work for Mrs. Dunlop.
Everybody is talking about it, and
some people are claiming to have
been cured of Rheumatism by it.
A Mrs. Garrett who lives in Brazils,
this state, was at the point Of death
with some Cerebro-Spinal trouble
and was saved by Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
II is certain that no other medicine
ever introduced here has done so
much good in such short time.

Mission Of the Anaora.

Far be it from the minds OF any
goat breeder that the Angora has
come to take the place of cattle and
sheep. His mission in thickly settled
,egions Is to keep the farm in proper
condition for other live stock, and in
the millions OF acres of brush-ridden
territory he will act as the forerunner
OF other branches of the live stock in
iustry. He is not a creation OF the
whim of speculation, brought from dis.
tant Turkey TO induce the American
public to part with its hard-earned
lucre, but he is a money maker, and
when the American live stock breeder
prepares proper place for the right
kind of Angoras he need feel no hest
fancy in stocking with these silver
Aeeced brush destroyers; they are an
American institution and they have
come to stay.-W. c. Bailey.

as If cloud had actually begun to

out to be locusts. The planters and
cattle raisers soon appeared with their
men and gathered them in bags. They
smoked the insects to kill them, and
then dried them in the sun, after
which they were fed TO the dogs.
