hi Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kaus., March l4-One Of
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard Of IN Riley Co. is that Of the three
year.old daughter of Mr.. Jonas Brubaker
OF this place.
Some time ago the little girl took whoop-
ing cough, which was followed by pneu-
monia. When the pneumonia lett her, she
was taken down with malaria fever with
at times symptoms of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safely
through these troubles, but after the fever
Bright's Disease set in and the doctors
gave her up. Her father tells the rest OF
the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kidney
Pills and after she had taken about three
and a halt boxes, she was entirely cured
Now she is well as any child, running and
playing as if nothing had ever been the
matter with her, The doctors said she
was beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our little
girls life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage Of Bright's Disease that we
thought nothing could save her"

EARLY PLANTING BEST.
Folly of Putting OF Planting of
Crops Until the season Has
Too Far Advanced.

Last year demonstrated the impor-
lance of early planting and the folly
of putting off planting until out Of sea-
son, the soft, understandable corn,
short oats crops, low-grade tobacco, all
are evidences. Oats were sown in May,
when the regular season is late March
or early Auril; corn was planted in
June, that should have been planted in
the period from April 10 to May 20;
tobacco equally late, 1t is true that
last spring was an exceedingly unfa-
vorable season for spring work, but

SiIag. For Fnttening steers.

Prof. Soule, of the Tennessee sta
ton, says: We had 16 grades Short
horn steers on feed; in $50 days we
made a gain of LAP pounds, or q daily
average Of 2.40 pounds per steer. This
Is a good gain for average feeding.
ANY man can make good gains with
silage If fed properly. In addition to
silage we fed some cotton-seed meal
as 0 mean of finishing. There is no
question of the feeding quality of corn
at the finish, but | do not believe that
it would be or is advisable to feed 1t
throughout the whole period. We have
found corn silage to be cooling as a
%roughage. We grind our corr and
cohs into a fine meal, and this works
well with silage as a feed. We feed
cotton-seed meal, but the hogs do not
follow the cattle. We fed as high as
10 pounds of cotton.seed meal to these
steers on silage without any evil eff
fects on the steers, but do not believe
this would be possible with any other
roughage but silage.'

THE T T ACREAGE.
Recent High Prices StimuIntIns
Planters TO Increased Acreage
For the Present Yenr,

Texas, Oklahoma, the Indian terri.
tory and other places are planning an
increased cotton acreage for 1904. The
country's aggregate in recent years
has been a little in excess OF 27O00.-
900 acres, and the crop has fanged
from about 100000 0 to II, 900, 900
bales. If the governments estimate
OF the crop of 1903, made a few months
ago, was anywhere neal correct, there
Is for a considerable increase
In the acreage of 1904. According to
that computation, the yield of 1904
was a little below 10000, 900 bales,
which would make the yield smaller
than IN any previous year since 1896,
except in 1899.
The recent high prices show that
there Is a good profit in cotton rails
ing, and that a much larger crop than
that of 1903 could be disposed of In
the next year at rates which would
give the producer a very fair margin
of gain. The war will have compare
lively little influence on the cotton
market, unless the number of partici-
pants in the conflict spreads. The
falling off, which may take place in
the Chinese demand, on account of
the war. Is likely to be more than
made up by the increased taklngs of
raw material by Europe's mills. More.
over, just as soon as the war ends.
the demand from China, as well as
from Japan, will be sure to grow. In
fact, there is a chance that the Japan.
ese demand will increase, on account
of the war.
Spectators are telling the planters
to keep their acreage within the recent
mark, and some of them are urging a
curtailment of the acreage. This is
unwlse counsel. II is not likely to be
Needed. The present range of prices
may not be maintained for the next
twelve months, but the chances are
that the level will be at a line, which
was undreamed of a year or two ago.
The gamblers may, as they have re.
Gently done, put the price up and down
to suit their own exigencies, but there
will be no decline to anything like the
low figures of comparatively recent
times. The demands for the Ameri-
can and the European mills will con-
tinue to grow, unless that general Eu.
ropean war should take place, and
there Is no reason tO annrphpnd any
such calamity. Texas, Oklahoma and
their neighbors are showing good
judgment in arranging for q larger
yield Of cotton in 1904 than was gath
cred In 1908, or in 1902.-St. Louis
