and 8 small doors. When weather is hot
we open every door and window, and it
makes the house cool. We have a block

WHY SELL YOUNG sgocKa
It Should Never BE Done Unless "a Man
Is Driven to 1t by Ac.ual
Necessity.

Have you considered whether it is
o your interest to sell the calves,
colts or pigs at present prices, Or to
keep them to get the profit OF the
stockman-to utilize the pastures, grain
fields and odds and ends that would be
lost, and that can be made to enrich
the farm? Would it not be better to
feed that feed to stock, both of which
you have been in the habit of selling
unfed and SO contributing to the other
mans profits, and to the building up
OF the fertility of his land, instead Of
your own? The calves might sell for
from ten to fifteen dollars at weaving
time. One year later they should
weigh at least $50 pounds. which, at
four cents, is $50. Now, to make this
weight very little grain is required,
just make use Of the odd pastures, the
extra grazing of the corn and small
grain fields in the summer and au-
tumn, then the rye and wheat in win
ter and early spring; also the fodder
and straw that was previously wasted.
These little odds and ends, if used.
add to your bank account. Colts,
horse or mule-sell we'll at weaving
time. yet there is better money in
keeping, breaking and making desir-
able work stock. Match them we'll,
take extra pains in breaking. rub them
up until you have a fancy team, then
you can ask and should have a fancy
price. Who knows into what class
colts will develop? Pigs may be cas-
lily and cheaply kept, until the feeding
period, on very little corn, by using
Stops. cleaning the small grain after
harvest and pasturing clover. And
so all along the line. Make your farm
a factory of some kind.-Agricultural

How to save sorghum Fodder,

A writer in Iowa tells the Country Gen.
tleman how to save sorghum for stock
food. He says it should be cut only when
the seed is well ripened. If cut before It
will be almost worthless, as there will
be little saccharine matter in 1t, This
constitutes the chief value Of sorghum
for feed, and is stored in the stalk while
the seeds are developing. The best way
to handle sorghum is to cut it any time
after the seeds r black; rake, and put
in large shocks right away, and then let
it alone till wanted for feeding. If man

A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PERUE=NAA..
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

a woman confined to the house, for
several years with a chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after plysi-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent Improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was q poor man, hundreds of doll
lars. They had been Obliged to deny
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 &c keep
out OF her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause Of the want Of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-;
toms.
She Don received q letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she
was we'll and strong again, able to do
her " work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services Of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.

CARE OF hi A
Unless the Mare Is Fed Well and Ju-

Fail to Develop.

IS II the foal is worth raising at all,
it is worth raising well, and If not
fed and cared for properly, will be a
disgrace to its sire and a source of
loss to the owner, says the LIVE Stock
Journal. The mare should be fed well
enough tt allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
when she is tired and sweaty. 1t does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at ploW or on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal.
and. besides this. the foal is getting
too much fatiguing work in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, If
at all. Before it is too late put in a
strip of fodder corn alongside of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn thickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut off.
Plant several times. with a few days.
