Russia hanging breathlessly on the fate

Best in the World.

Estherville, Ia, Feb. lst.-Mr. George
j. Barber, of this place, says
'Dodd's kidney Pills are the best
medicine in the world. There is moth
ing as good. 1 had been sick for over
Is years with Kidney Disease, which
finally turned into Bright's Disease. L
was treated by Doctors in Chicago, but
they didn't do me any good. The best
Doctor in Estherville treated me for five
years with no better success. | heard of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and. made up my
mlnd to give them a trial.
= am very thankful to be able to say
that they cured me completely, and I
think they are the best medicine in the
world"
The honest, earnest, straightforward
experiences of real living men and
women are the only material used in
advertising Dodd's kidney Pills. One
such testimony is worth more than a
thousand unsupported claims. The peo-
pie who have used Dodd's. Kidney Pills
are those whose evidence is worth con-
sideration, and surely nothing can be
more convincing than a statement like
Mr.. BARRIERS. There are thousands Of
others just as strong.

oPEE RANGE FOR HOGS.
Nowadays h Is n Desideratum OF
Vital Importance to Pork Rais-
ers Everywhere.

The value of corn for pork pro-
duction was long since recognized;
but changes in economic condi-
tons have increased the price of
corn during the past few years
and made it necessary for the farmer 80
consider what grain crops he can grow
or feed as a substitute for a portion of
the corn so as to cheaper the cost of
production and at the same time i'm
prove the quality of the pork, writes
John r. Fain, Of the Tennessee Expert
ment station. The ~cheapness of corn in
the past has in one sense been a detri-
ment to the progress of swine hus-
bandry; it has encouraged a too gem
eral use of this cereal for the develop
ment Of the choicest quality of hams and
bacon or for the good of breeding ami
mails. When corn was very cheap, it was
a common practice to shut the hogs up
in a filthy pen and feed them an unlim-
tied quantity without regard to cost.
This made fat hogs Of what is general
ly known as the lard type" Close con-
finement and heavy feeding impaired
the stamina and vigor of the animals and
undoubtedly resulted in undermining
the constitution Of the brood sow, and
this, with the u%nsanitary quarters,
caused the destruction of large numbers
Of hogs by the dreaded cholera.
Hog breeders now realize that an open
range with grass and forage crops is q
desideratum Of the greatest Importance
to them. Under such conditions a SUI
perior quality of pork is obtained with a
better admiXture of fat and lean. AS cali
be easily understood from these facts
and many others which might be ad-
duced, conditions with regard to swine
feeding have materially changed. Hence
it becomes necessary to determine what
grains may be substituted to advantage
for a part of the corn formerly fed and
to utilize fully such by-products OF the
farm as Stops and skim-milk, which
were frequently allowed to go to waste
and which are now known to have a high
feeding value.

TWO Elements in Success.

The two most important elements in
poultry success are wholesome food and
cleanliness. All such unwholesome food
as decayed meats, grains or vegetables
must be rigidly excluded from the poul-
try yard, as 1t can be only a question of
time when they will u more or less
serious digestive disorders. Be sure
that all food is such as will really devel-
op and nourish the fowls. Second only
to the kind of food given is the whole
subject of cleanliness. Both houses and
yards should have a careful, systematic
cleaning at frequent intervals to guard
against all kinds of disease. A regular
system of both cleaning and feeding
should be mapped out and followed,
rain or shine. Clean fowls and clean
food must go hand in hand, and the bet
ter the work is done the greater will be
the success.-Prairie Farmer.

New Dat for the west.

In the general exhibit of the Nebraska
experiment station at the recent inter-
national exposition, we noticed a sheaf
of oats to which vas attached the name
Kherson and a placard stating that in
Nebraska it had yielded ten bushels per
acre more than any other variety. a
letter to Director e. "A. Burnett brought
forth the following statement concern
ing this new oat: This is a variety of
oats that was imported by this station
from Russia about five years ago, and
as it came from theproyince of Kherson
we gave it that name. 1t has shown it
self to be a very valuable variety Of oats
for this state, particularly in the central
and western part. Lido not know thatit
would have any special value in Illinois
or Iowa. We have distributed it in this
state during the last three years and
there is now a considerable supply Of it.

END VIEW OF FEEL RACK.

cause the wool buyer does not care to pay
wool price for dirt, but because it in
creases the labor and expense of pre-
pairing the wool for manufacture, and
also Injuries the fiber itself to a greater
or less extent. Some kinds. as the chaff
of timothy, are very difficult to remove.
Where any hand picking Unnecessary to
remove the adhering foreign matter, as
is sometimes the case, the wool in its
raw state must necessarily sell very
low. A little care in such matters may
mean a better opinion of the wool buy
er on the part of the grower and of the
grower on the part of the buyer, and
several dollars more in the pocket of
the grower when they get through with
their transaction. The accompanying
illustration represents an end view Of
q very good and inexpensive form of
rack for feeding the roughness. If de-
sired a bottom may be put in so as to
feed the grain in these racks also, but
as a rule, we prefer the plan of feeding
the grain in troughs made separate
from and Independent of the rack for
the roughness. The rack is made about
three feet in height, two feet and six
inches wide and any length desired.
The uprights are made from two by
eight lumber. One slant cut making the
sloping edge for two pieces, there is no
waste in the cutting. The bottom of
the rack is composed of a twelve-inch
or two six-inch boards nailed on the out
side of these uprights, as indicated in the
cut. The upper part for receiving the
hay is made by mailing boards on the
sloping edge of the uprights. These
boards should be either shiplap or have
their edges beveled and fit together so
as to prevent any dirt rafting through
On top of the heads and necks of the
sheep as they eat. If it is desired to put
a bottom in the rack for the feeding of
grain probably the best plan is to make
each side Of this bottom into a movable
trough that can be turned over to dump
out the dirt and litter, as it is not con-
venient to clean troughs 30 situated in
any other manner. In making a bottom
of this kind, the stationary portion in
the center should be placed above the
troughs, SO that any refuse will pass
into the latter, where it may be dumped
out. The troughs may be hung at the
ends by means of a bolt passed through
the end piece and the upright of the
rack, and be held in place while in use
by means of hooks or by pins placed t.

FEED RACK FOR SHEEP
Description of n Good and Inexpen-

by Highest Authority.

One of ur subscribers asks for a de-
scription Of a good sheep rack in which
to feed his sheep. This is a very i'm
portant subject in connection with the
care Of sheep, inasmuch as it has to do
not only with the economical use OF the
feed grown on the farm, but also with
keeping the fleece of the sheep clean and
in a marketable condition. No form of
rack should be used for the feeding Of
any kind of feed containing chaff or
dirt that will permit the sheep to poke
it's head into the feed or that will allow
the chaff, dirt or broken leaves to filter
through cracks and fall onto the sheep.
Any such dirt in the wool Injuries the

CATCHING COLD
Is the Beginning Of Most Winter
Acknowledgment Protects
NA Ct anI Cures Gold s-

There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during
the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect a person from catching cold. Now,
if this isstrue (and there is no doubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved,
and tens of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach of
every one.
After a cold has been contracted a
teaspoonful of Peruna every hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh has be-
come established, or the first stages of
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to effect a cure

and well established as these facts are

LIVE STOCK FARMING.
Men Who Stuck to Feeding and Did
Not Sell. Their Corn Made the
Most Honey

Regarding the value of live stock
farming, as compared with the growing
and selling of grain, Prof. L. H. Pammel,
of the Iowa agricultural college, says:
ut has been demonstrated both by
experience and practice that The farmer
who sells beef, pork and mutton that
he has produced from the corn and grass
raised and fed on the farm makes more
money per acre of his land and per dol
lar Of his capital than the one who grows
only wheat or corr or cotton and sells
it.
"It is not necessary to entirely dis
continue raising these crops, but if we
are to produce a surplus to be sold in
foreign markets it is best to export that
surplus in the most condensed and mar
ketable form, as meat and animal prod
ucts, rather than in the original crude
and bulky state.
in the long run the farmer will make
the most money who devotes his fields
to the growing of forage crops to feed
stock, making use of all the raw prod
ucts at home, thereby saving not only
much of the cost of transportation, but
maintaining the fertility of the soil.
By doing SO, corn belt farmers will
maintain their prominence in agricul-
tural lines.
Experience of the past few months
has shown that the men who stuck to
feeding and we're X: tempted BY high
prices to sell their corn have made the
most money. Anything that will en-
nance the productive capacity of our
soils for the production of forage con6i-
lions will help the farmer
