Side Shows at Fairs.

Within few years the most objec
tionable features Of the side shows at
state and county fairs have been elm
mated. 1t was not SO long ago that
some Of these shows were so indecent
as TO draw upon the fair managers
strong condemnation and energetic
protests. From year to year we have
noted steady improvement, till In
most cases the really Objectionable
features have disappeared The prin.
cipal criticism now made Is that these
shows are mostly worthless. They
neither instruct nor entertain. The
crowd is assured that inside the tent
1t will hear the real Georgia min.
strels." The crowd enters, expecting
to hear some good singing. The whole
thing proves to be farce, as any one
among the audience could sing as well
as the people on the platform. So 1t
is with the Indian war dance. One
aborigine pounds drum, while an.
other limps around singing How, how,
howl" But people don't object; they
expect that sort Of thing at the fair.
AS the side show cannot be eliminated
It should be improved. 1t can be made
both entertaining and instructive.

Poor Birds at Hiuh Prices.

Recently man that knows told the
writer that it Is the practice of some
poultry raisers to sell much stock not
of their own raising. This Is not a
fair method Of dealing, though it can
not be checked by law. Thus one man
has a good establishment and has
built up an enviable reputation. He
raises some hundreds of fine birds a
year, being careful to have them of
good stock and highly bred. But he
receives orders not for hundreds but
for thousands of birds. He should de-
cline to fill the orders for his stock
after his supply is exhausted, but he
does not. He sends his wagons out
into the country to pick up everything
he can find of the breeds he Is
handling. He purchases the fowls at
say so cents each. He resells them at
several dollars each, for his customers
are willing to pay good price for
frst-class stock. How many of the
customers of this man would accept
the stock sent to them II they knew
it was gathered from the farms at ran
dom?
On the average farm no particular
care is taken to keep the poultry stock
absolutely pure. Generally pure breds
and grades run together. The result
of their crossing is not always easily
discernible by people not experts in
the judging OF fowls. A few feathers
off color or a few points missing on
the comb would not be noticed. Hence
the ease with which such stock is
sold.
The poultryman that does this kind
of business is quite sure to be found
out in the end, and his fine reputation
and trade will disappear together.
More than one man has come to this
end in the poultry business. The
breeding of pure blood fowls should
be surrounded with every safeguard
to insure their freedom from out
crosses. Moreover the trusting buyer
naturally supposes that his purchases
have been bred and reared under ideal
conditions, that they have been ex.
posed to neither lice nor disease,
Birds collected from everywhere are
likely to bring both lice and disease.
The above mentioned practice can
hardly be too severely condemned. II
is getting money under false pre-
lenses. Every honest dealer should
do what he can to make this practice
impossible.

Pure-Rred Anqoras.

The body should be long, and the
rounder the better; the back straight,
with shoulders and hips equally high
from the ground; shoulders and
quarters heavy and feshy; chest
broad. indicating good constitution;
the legs should be short and strong;
the head is in shape like that of
a common goat, but less coarse and
cleaner cut; the horns are heavy,
with an upward twist, inclining back.
ward and to the outside. Except just
the face and legs, from the hooks and
knees down, the entire animal should
be densely covered with mohair, and
neither the belly nor the throat nor
even the lower part Of the jaws
should be bare, but should have a
good cover of fine, silky mohair, and
with the finest specimens the mohair
tuft on the forehead should be well
developed. The mohair should hang
in long, curly ringlets. However, not
every Angora goat which shows these
perfectly curly ringlets Of the mo-
hair must necessarily be considered
a thoroughbred; whilst, on the other
hand, there are quite number Of
really handsome and valuable thor
oughbreds whose hair has not that
much-desired shape, owing entirely to
climatic and nutrimental influences,
as we'll as to advancing age.-G. A.

sheep Matters in indiana.


From Farmers Review: The cat
tie feeders are in the valley of depres-
sion. Large numbers have turned to
sheep feeding and 1904 may record
some disappointments In this line.
The American farmers resemble sheep
In this particular. When one jumps
the fence they all go like flock OF
sheep" No business is characterized
by such range Of vicissitudes as the
sheep business. II we could only
learn to stick to the bush." like the
boy picking berries, 1t would be bet
ter all around. In the writer's ex'
perience of many years with sheep,
and never without them, there has
never been time when sheep we're
not handled with profit. Sometimes
meager, to be sure, but nevertheless
a profit. Prices were rather bearisn
on wool until the entire clip was out
of the farmers hands-then up she
went like a liberated "teeter-board."
The Indiana Wool Growers Associa-
ton proposes to look into this matter
to some extent and see IL there be any
remedy. There are numerous focks
of sheep in this territory; but much
of the land that is Of most value for
sheep raising is still without any OF
these woolly Inhabitants. Il would

preston of a man who confessed that
he never learned to care for sheep

Easy to Get,

indeed Is the experience Of Mr.. A. s.
Turner, man now over seventy-one
years of age. and whose home Is here.

had suffered with very unpleasant
form of Kidney Trouble, kind that
very often bothers aged people. He
would have to get up four or Ave
times every night, and this very tire
some disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up
his mind that he would never be
able to get relief, he stumbled over q
medicine which relieved him almost
Immediately, and has cured him per
manently. 1t Is so very easy to get
and SO simple that Mr.. Turner thinks
everyone should know OF It, Every
dealer In the country has 1t. and all
you have to do Is to ask for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Mr.. Turner says

with the best results. think they

Lumpy Jaw.

A communication from the Indiana
station says: This disease more often
affects cattle than other animals. 1t
is due to fungus sometimes called
the ray fungus or actinomycosis. The
fungus occurs upon grass and other
vegetation and 1t Is only when 1t be-
comes introduced into the tissues that
1t causes trouble. The disease comes
from eating and outside sources and
is not contagious in the usual sense
of the word. Several animals may be-
come affected while on the same pas
ture, but this is due to all being ex.
posed alike. Some years the number
of cases is greater than others, owing
to the greater development OF this
fungus. The disease affects the jaw
more often than other parts, due to
the fact that the tissues are some
times broken in the act Of chewing
and thus permitting infection. Any
part of the body may be attacked.
The disease is comparatively easy
to treat. A drachm of iodide Of pot
ash is given twice a day, for two
weeks to twenty days. For cattle
weighing twelve hundred pounds or
more the dose is somewhat increased
and lessened for calves. II pus be
present in the lump 1t should be let
out by incision. In a few refractory
cases second period of treatment
may be required after resting for ten
days. About eighty per cent Of recov.
cries may be expected. Affected ami
mails should be kept away from the
healthy and off the pasture field. In
the case Of mich cows the milk should
not be used. This state does not pay
for such animals when it Is found
necessary to destroy them.--A. w.
Biting, Veterinarian.
