Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov 3O.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk OF the town. Mr.. G.. L. Butler, the
father of the little boy, says:
THE doctor said my boy had disease
OF the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur.
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling, and would want to run from the.
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, I read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. L pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and we'll with not a sin.

was some months ago. and feel sure
that he is permanently cured. We owe

No Idle Horses,

Horses are very much like men !;
give them useful employment the year
round and they are all the better for
it, writes Stephen Benson. l find on
close observation that the horses we
work through the winter are the
horses that can stand the rough usage
of summer the best. Hence, we give
our horses all the employment we
can, taking care not to lower their
condition in flesh, but rather to in.
crease their flesh ready for the sum.
mer's work. This leaves their muscles.
shoulders and constitution generally
in much better state than if they
were idle. Naturally they are looked
after better. as they are under the
eye OF the man more and much less
liable to accidents than horses ruxa-
ming idle. Employment we find for
them in different ways, such as draw
ing wood, taking manure to the field.
moving feed stuff or anything that we
can find to do that will give US profit
enough for a mans wages and board.
and as for the little extra feed they
take feel satisfied We can charge
that to profit In the extra work they
can do through the summer.

Artichokes as Swine Food,

l have found artichokes to be the
most satisfactory vegetable food that
have ever grown. They can be
grown with very little trouble. and
are without doubt most healthful
food. We allow the pigs to dig them
themselves and they have great
relish for them. I would not like to
say that they prevent hog cholera,
but l do believe they would have a
tendency to ward off an attack of this
disease. and, in fact, many other dis
eases to which pigs are subject. The
exercise they receive in seeking fol-
the artichokes Is in itself healthfnl
for them. The pigs grow rapidly when
fed upon them, and they have ten
dency to produce lean meat. l would
not consider it desirable to feed on
artichokes alone, but they should be
fed in conjunction with a moderate
grain ration. One great advantage
with artichokes is that they can be fed
in the spring of the year at season
when other vegetable food is not
available. The winter frost does not
injure the tubers when left in the
ground. In suitable soil they will
give very large crop, running from
600 to 1000 bushels per acre. The
system Of cultivation l have followed
is similar to that given potatoes,
planting in rows eighteen inches apart
and the rows thirty inches apart. The
most suitable soil for their growth
would be sandy loan, but believe
they will grow well on any soil-J

The PASSING of Dale.

In the death of the Hereford bull
Dale, owned by Jesse c.. Adams OF
Moweaqua, Ill.,. the breed has lost one
of it's most distinguished representa-,
tives and celebrated sires. For some
time he had suffered from indigestion
and every effort was made to stay the
disease, but without avail. He was
foaled on the farm of Glen Graves OF
Bunker Hill. Ind. who recognized the
great promise of his calfhood and gave
him the sort of care which would de.
velop the qualities that later made him
a champion. When a yearling he was
sold to f. A. Nave of Attfca, Ind. for
SLIGO. Under his careful manage
ment he made in 1898 and 1899 the
wonderful showyard records which put
him at the head of the breed, and
which are familiar to all well-posted
breeders. At Mr.. Nave's dispersion
sale he was sold for $4,000 to Mr.. S.
H. Goodman of Wabash, Ind. and in
January, 1901, was purchased by Mr..
Adams for $4,000. the highest price
on record for Hereford bull. This
was large sum, but proved to be a
good investment. as Dale was the sire
of more champion show cattle than
any other bull on record.

calf are comparatively short, com.

respect the calf differs from the hog,
which has a comparatively small
stomach and long intestines. For this
reason he may gulp down his feed,
and what is not digested in the
mouth will have plenty of time to be
digested in the intestines. Kafir-corn
meal has proven to be a superior
feed for calves. 1t seems to be con:

checking the tendency to scours, so
common with calves. Experiments
at the Kansas station show that
calves will begin eating shelled corn

will do as well and even better than
when fed corn chop. When possible

Grain in Western Canada.

Grain in Western Canada.
| The annual report Of the depart
ment OF agriculture of the Northwest
Territories is at hand with detailed
reports Of the grain crops for the last
I'VE years. The region embraced in
me report covers Saskatchewan, AS
slniboia and Alberta. It is interesting
TO note the steady increase in the
size OF the grain crops from year to
year. This is largely due to the in.
f1ux of settlers from the grain raising

The statistics of the yield of wheat
are (1S98) 5,542,57S bushels acreage

average yield for the fve-year period
was 1888 bushels per acre, which is
remarkably large for the western con-
tinent. 1t will be noted that the acre.
age showed steady increase from
year to year and more than doubled
in the five years.
The oat crop showed a still more
remarkable advance, as follows:

About 70 per cent of the edible por

the TAT about the same. This makes
eggs a very valuable food. Most OF
the protein is in the whites of the

yolks. Taking the egg as a whole
including the shell, the fat content
ranges from about per cent in tur

IL to IL per cent in eggs of all va.

really little difference in the nutritive
value of the different kinds of eggs.
Egs-Produclng Strains.
Among poultry fanciers much has
been done to develop particular
strains of fowls inside the established
breeds. For the most part these
strains have had reference more to
form than to egg production. So far
as is publicly known, there are few
strains that have been well-developed
along the egg-laying lines, though
most handlers of poultry will insist
that they are breeding with this part.
ly in view. 1t would take generations
OF breeding to make really valuable
strain, but the result would pay we'll
in the production Of eggs. We believe
the average fowl of any breed is a
poor egg producer, but in every breed
are possibilities of immense improve
nent. We see it frequently stated
that a Plymouth Rock will lay $50
eggs year. Yet the man that takes
a flock and counts their eggs as pro-
duced during the year generally finds
that he has received less than 125
eggs per bird. In some cases we have
known the average number to fall
below 100. On the other hand, indi-
vidual Plymouth Rocks have been
known to lay 23S eggs in a year, more
than 100 above the average. With
this breed, as we'll as with several
other breeds, it would certainly be
possible to develop a strain that
would lay on the average annually
200 eggs per bird. AS these extra
eggs would be practically all profit,
one can see the advantage of handling
such strain of birds.
There are many people that look
upon poultry shows as useless expen.
diture OF energy and money. But
from the poultry shows has come the
impetus for improvement that has re.
suited in a tremendous increase in
the utility qualities of our poultry.
