HER GREAT FORTUNE
A Woman Saved from Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house tor sev~
eral years with a chronic female derangs-

cured.
She had tried physician after physician,
and remedy after remedy, without any
permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was a poor man hundreds OF dollars
They had been obliged to denv themselves
many comforts OF life in order to get
money enough TO pay the physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able TO keep
out of her bed. Her children were grow.
ing up neglected and ragged, because 1of
the want of a mothers care. Her hus-
band was becoming discouraged and BRO
ken down with overwork.

exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the

was well and strong again, able to do her

Saddle Horse in Demand.

Saddle Horse in Demand.
Horseback riding is gaining in favor.
for some reason or other. Perhaps II
is because the President Of the United
States has set a good and conspicu-
Gus example as patron of this whole

be overlooked. and the farmer who

AN UNMAlLED LOVE LETTER.
Trivial Oversight That Wrecked a
Promising Life.

Half century ago a young Engilsh.
man, while travelling, met a beautiful
girl and promptly fell in love with
her. A few days later he returned
home, and his first act was to write
her a love letter. In 1t he told her
that he could not be happy without
her and that if she regarded his pro-
posal favorably he would expect a re-
ply by the next mail.
To this letter he received no answer
and so disappointed was he that from
that time until his death. which oc'
Cured recently, he shut himself up
in his home and lived like hermit.
Most of his time was spent in reading
and the day after his funeral the heirs
began to search the books in his IL
brary, for they thought it quite pos,
sible that the eccentric old man might
have hidden some bank notes in them
They found none. but in tattered
old pamphlet they found another KIND
Of note, the love letter which was
written fifty years ago. and which the
writer had forgotten to mail.

WANTED AN EYE FOR EACH.

Young Clerks Close Watch Without
Its Proper Reward.
"It is my duty to warn you" said
one of the two we'll dressed women
who had just sidled up to the counter,
"that my sister is confirmed klepto-
maniac. You must watch her most
carefully"
Thank you, madam" said the polite
clerk. 81 will keep her under close
observation"
For some twenty minutes the young
man kept his eyes glued upon the lady
he had been warned against. but at
last the ladies left the shop without
any purchase having been made. Still,
the smart young man congratulated
himself upon the fact that the klepto-
maniac had not klepped anything
worth mentioning that time, at least.
Then another customer approached.
"Why did you watch that lady SO
closely?" she Queried.
"Kleptomaniac," said the smart
young man. Her sister warned me-
"Oh!" was the reply. Il should
think it must be in the family. no

Growing Protein For Dairy Cows.

Growing Protein u or Dairy So"bs
We have already published much on
the Importance Of this subject, and
repupduce summary given by
Hoasd's Dairyman of a recent bulle-
tin hy the Tennessee Experiment Sta
ton This bulletin treats upon the fol-
lowing subject: The Relative Value
of Brotein in Cottonseed Meal, Cow
pea Hay and Wheat Bran"
We have not the room to give all
thai is said on this intensely interest
ing question, and so will only emu
merate the conclusions of the expert
Rert:
Nrst-Cottonseed meal is one of the
richest of protein feeds. but 1t must
be fed sparingiy, as it has ten
denRy to produce nervous arrangement
Of the cows system.
Seeond-Only about half as much
food is consumed in making gallon
of milk as in making 4 pound Of but
ter.
Third - The smallest amount OF
roughace consumed in making a pound
of butter was 43.S pounds, in which
thirteen pounds of cowpeas hay was
substituted for four pounds OF cotton
seed meal.
This was with group of COWS. The
highest amount Of concentrates con-
su,ned for pound OF butter was by
rropp /. which took % pounds. or
3.s,pounds more than group :. and o.
pounds more than in group :.
This shows that the substitution OF
pea hay for wheat bran in group =.
and for cottonseed meal in group 8
greatly reduced the cost OF concen-
trates.
Eeu-tn-It was proved by this exoc-.
iment that one AMI quarter pounds
OF ohopDed cowpea hay was equal TO
one pound of bran. and three pounds
of the chopped pea hay was equal 10
one mound of cottonSeed meal.
Rifth-Two and half tons OF cow
pea hay can be produced on an
acre of average Southern farm
land nj cost of $3.50. Put
1. the market baied it would be
worth $3.50. \ ton Of bran costs
SIG or $50 less than the farm SELL
ing price of two and half tons OF
covpca hay. The cowpea hay would
haye twice the feeding value OF the
wheat bran.
Sixth-Mnasuring by the yield at tn"
Tennessee Station. it would take IL
acres Of land to produce in cowpea
hay the feeding equivalent of ton
of aottonseed meal. The cost OF nay
from that amount OF ground would be
SIG. it's farm value sol. and its mar
ket value 500. But the pea crop would
store in the soil forty pounds OF nitro
gen. worth. say, ST. The only diff
Guilty in the way Of making pea hay a
perfect and profitable substitute for
the wheat bran and cottonseed meal
was in getting the COWS to consume
eneRsh Of 1t.
Yhis would suggest the use of a
small daily ration Of the bran or
cottsnseed meal and an Increased use
Of the pea hay as far as is possible
to iaduce the COWS to consume IT.

sure Mr.. Hansen's mistake may be

that he could not see his way clear to

as public servant give due credit
to public sentiment as expressed
