Weman's Complexion

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or grexsiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "local" treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flow er
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A sins!c
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
Is cents; regular size Is cents. At

FEEDING BEEF CALVES.
Occasional Slight Changes In Die
~

Occasional Slight Changes In Diet
Are Of Benefit.
When calves of different ages are
when from three to six weeks old and
for the best development require all
they will clean up twice a day. 1t is
best to feed the grain before the cows
are taken to the barn, as they will not
care for it when the time draws near
for their milk ration and will be too
full to eat after sucking their dams.
They must be divided enough to pre-
vent the older ones from crowding the
little ones away or all be chained to
separate places. prefer claiming
them, as the feeder can then know just
how much each one will clean up with
a relish and sooner detect any little
indisposition.
Equal parts by weight of ground
oats, cornmeal and bran mixed form
one of the very best ground feeds, and
the best whole grain mixture is shelled
corn and OATS Sudden changes in
their feed must be avoided, out as they

make frequent slight changes, chang
ing the proportion Of the mixture lit
tie, changing from an exclusive ground
grain ration to ground grain in the
morning and whole grain at night, mix
ing the whole grain with the ground,
etc.
Good grazing practically the year
around Is very desirable and greatly
relished oy the youngsters. Blue grass
and white clover form one Of the best
permanent pastures for use at all sea-
sons. Crimson clover is fine for spring
use, and cowpeas broadcasted or soy
beans in drills furnish fine summer and
fall pasture. Soy beans in rows will be
harvested by calves without waste Of
leaf or pod Warm, clean and we'll
ventilated quarters should be provid-
ed for nights and bad days during win
ter, and cool, dark sheds as an escape
from the sun and flies during the mid
die Of the day in summer.-H. w. Crew

THE FLOCK MASTER.

In starting a flock Of sheep 1 should
buy good individuals of one of the lead
ing breeds, says a New York farmer
in American Agriculturist. Such sheep
represent the knowledge, experience
and judgment Of years. They will cost
less to keep, having been bred to get
the best results, will produce a uni
form clip of wool and a good flock Of
lambs. Choose strong, large bodied
ewes of milking type, long, deep bodied,
strong over back, plenty Of heart and
lung room, covered with a close, dense
fleece of good staple. The ram should
be masculine and at least one year old
when used.
WEAVING Lambs.
/ wean the lambs at about four
months, place on good feed and give a
grain ration at once. Whole oats / like
best. Much care is now necessary that
the ewes udder does not become in
famed and injured. Put them on dry
feed or short pasture for a few days,
milking them out each day, says a
New York sheep grower in American
Agriculturist
NoduIar Disease In Sheep.
1t is well known that sheep suffering
from nodular disease Of the intestines
when placed upon hitherto clean pas
ture transmit infection to it through
extrusion Of the nodule worm through
their bowels. probably with their drop
pings.
When sound lambs are permitted to
occupy a pasture so infected they will!
contract nodule disease.
When the surface of an infected
pasture is turned under by blowing
and the land cropped even for single
season the infection may be destroyed
Profit In Sheep.
Fat lambs always find ready sale at
coed prices, and choice lambs are gen
orally scarce at high prices. If lambs
are kept till they grow fleece, the
price O. the wool is generally the profit
of the sheep over the fat cow or the fat
steer. Of course sheep will not fatten
on weeds or brush or thrive in cold,
wet lots upon neglect. But they will
show up in the sales pens favora-
bly, with steers or cows If they are
given the same feed and the same care,
or even less.
The Quality Of Fleece.
The quality of the fleece depends
upon the character Of the sheep from
which it is shorn. the climate, the
feed, shelter and the care bestowed
upon the animal and upon the fleece
and many other conditions which: may
affect it. The most of these conditions
are within the control of the sheep
herder, and he may by using proper
care raise valuable clip Of wool or by
neglect the clip may become almost un-
merchantable

Anthrax Readily Communicated.

The readiness with which anthrax
may be communicated from one ami
NAL to another Is noted in the expert
ment station record Of the department
of agriculture.
A harness which had been upon a
horse that had recently died with an
thrax was placed upon healthy horse,
with the result that the latter animal
subsequently contracted the disease. In
was contracted by lightly rubbing the
anthrax germs upon the skin. There
were no cuts or abrasions of the skin,
but the bacilli penetrated through the
hair follicles.-American Cultivator.

''It Is To Laugh"

The American people will snlc-
ker at Judge Parker's putting
away his second term before he
has had his first. They will re-
call that Mr.. Grover Cleveland
had the same view before he was
elected the first time, and that
he broke all records in this
country not only by running
three times and being elected
twice, but by trying to run four
times and to be elected thrice.
Mr.. Cleveland being of a some
what firm purpose in most
things, and Judge Parker hav.
ing been known to change his
mind on so important matter
to the Nation as the money stand.
ard, the voters of the United
States will be likely to think
that the "no second term"
dodge might better have teen
left untried.
Judge Parker is afraid Of the
army. Great military arma-
ments threaten our free institu
tions, as does our course in the
Philippines. But he is notafraid
of the trust power. If he is be
does not say so. He is as care
fui to avoid committing himself
against the trusts as his party is
to avoid committing itself against
fifty-cent dollars! His sustain
ed capacity for defensive man
oeuvres has not added anything
to the public's knowledge of the
purpose and views of Mr.. Par
ker, except that he evidently
takes as much honor upon him
self for reSlgnlng from the Court
of Appeals (somthing he had to
do) he does for having sent his
celebrated Billy Sheehan tele-
gram (also somthing he had to
oo). The speech of acceptance
begins with self-laudation, for
his telegram and resignation, is
filed with a quantity of plati-
tudes, and again ends with self
laudation for his refusal to con-
slider a second term when he is
as far from first term as auy
man who ever ran for President
of the United States!

Automobiles viii Free Horses.

The humane societies have done a
great deal TO free the suffering horses
from their troubles on our icy streets.
but the automobiles will do more
The latest figures show that there
were $4,000 automobiles made in the
United States last year. Their cash
value is about sS0,000,000.
The automobile is no longer a toy
for millionaires. The cheapest ones
cost no more than is paid for a team
of horses. And they are to be found
to-day in all parts of the world.
For instance, automobile trucks are
being used to carry supplies to mining
camps. They are carrying the gov
eminent mails in Germany, Italy and
even in some parts of India.
Automobile stages are carrying pas
sengers along the mountain roads of
the Western states. In California au-
tomobiles are hauling lumber; in
Michigan they are pulling snowplows.
and in Ohio they are doing chores on
the farm.
In New York city there are automo-
bile coal trucks, operated by one man
apiece, which carry and deliver FIVE
tons of coal at a load. If the fittest
is to survive the days of the work

THE SAME AS IN WAR.
Recruit Who Very Literally Followed
Instructions


The late DR.. H. l.. Thomas, the
translator for the State Department at
Washington, was always foe to war
fare. This noted philologist believed
firmly that warfare and civilization
were incompatible, and that one
would destroy the other
DR.. Thomas liked to get hold of
stories that reflected upon militarism.
Such stories, he said, were hopeful
signs of the times. They pointed to-
wards the final abolition of armies.
He often told the story of a recruit
named Simpson Andrews.
Simpson" he would say, "joined
the army and learned to drill. One
day he took in a sham battle. He
heard the general say before the bat
tie started Everything is to be done
the same as in actual warfare and
no sooner was the first blank cartridge
fired than Simpson dropped his gun
and took to his heels.
