LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is a thriv-
ing town of almost 5000. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by. the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it is
known as "The Hotel"
So it was that when faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds Of her small pupils the story Of
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the smile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent OF the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
MARY and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls OF the church rang with the laugh.
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with vengeance.

II suffered from nervousness and

shifted to tea for awhile but was not
better, IL anything worse.
AT that time I had a baby four
months old that we had to feed on
the bottle, until an old lady friend told
me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago I commenced using Pos
tum, leaving Off the tea and coffee,
and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared
but since then I have been giving
plenty of nurse for my baby and have

WINTERINC CANE FRUITS.
Protection Which Should Be Given
Them During the Severe
Cold Weather.

II the farmer has hardy varieties Of
raspberries and blackberries or lives
where the winters are mild, his work
is simple. If he has not already done it,
go through the patch, cutting out all
dead wood and weak canes, Stub back"
the over-thrifty ones, burn the brush,
and his patch Is ready for the win
ter.
However, II he lives in northern lati-
tudes or has tender varieties his bushes
must have protective covering of some
sort, says Mark Haverhill, in Orange
Judd Farmer. Just before the ground
freezes, the old wood having been cut
out, go through the patch with potato
or other heavy tined fork, and loosen
the ground around the roots of each
hill, carefully bend the bushes over till
they lie on the ground, weigh down and
cover with earth. Care should be taken
not to break any of the canes in laying
them down.
Some people bend the bushes over.
cover the ends with dirt to hold them
and then cover all with straw or corn
stalks from which all grain has been
removed. The great objection to straw
is that the mice nest in the straw and
during the winter eat the green bark
from the canes. killing them. Not so
much trouble has been experienced with
cornstalks, but probably earth is the
best for 1t is always handy.
AS soon as spring comes and the frost
is out of the ground the covering should
be removed and the bushes Strengthened
up.

MANAGEMENT OF COWS.
Special Care Which Should Be Exer-
cised During the Fall and
Winter Months.

During the autumn and early winter,
when there is much rain, 1t Is not al
ways possible to prevent the cows from
wading through mud puddles, but 1t Is
pity to turn the poor things into
yards In which the manure and mud
are almost knee-d deep. One Of our
neighbors, thrifty German, fences on
lot, early In the fall, at the straw
stack for his cows, and In the fall
feeds fodder on the ground. The cows
eat the leaves and relish them, and
there is q layer Of stalks over the en-
tire lot before winter. With the straw
and other litter he manages to have
dry place for the cows except In the
worst weather, and then his yards are
dry long before others who allow cows
to stay in the barnyard and around the
water trough.
For the sake of cleanliness, which Is
an important factor in the dairy and
milk business, stables and yards should
be kept in sanitary condition. Clean
liness in dairy work should begin in
the stables and yards where the cows
live during the fall and winter months.
We do not believe In close stabling for
days at time during the winter, and
In carrying feed and water to the cows.
With this method 1t Is almost out OF
the question to keep them clean with
out special attention that the farmer
can. seldom give and at the same time
look after other stock, says Prairie
q = nj nd A, tot nf
exercise IL not good for the cows. The
farmer who succeeds best with all
kinds Of stock knows the importance
Of q reasonable amount Of exercise.
None are benefited more by 1t than
the cows that are due to calve in the
spring.
At this season the farmer gets a
good deal of advice about whitewash-
ing and cleaning UP the poultry house.
Why wouldn't it be good idea to give
the cow stable coat of whitewash?
With a spray pump the work can be
easily and quickly done. There Is no
better method of getting rid of dis
ease germs that may have been intro
duced. Put plenty of coal oil in the
lime wash il the chickens have been
roosting in the COW stable, as the per-
verse fowls have habit of doing on
many farms A coat OF whitewash on
the inside of the COW stable has good
moral effect. With clean wall the
owner will be more careful in keeping
the floor clean, and a clean stable, free
from foul smells, will extend to other
work In handling milk.
Good ensilage is fine feed, but poor
ensilage and any feed that is musty
had better not be fed. Without good
healthy food large flow of healthy
milk, rich in butter fat, cannot be ex
pected. Many farmers scrupulously
guard the food supply, but are very
careless about the kind of water tn,
cattle drink. The cows often drinl
water the farmer would consider unfi
to wash milk pals or cans in. Th
man who is particular about thes
things may be called cranky by SOM
of his neighbors, and be laughed a
by others. He will come out all RICH
in the end, however, and make tn,
several ends Of his business meet
when others who put less energy ant
intelligence into their work will fail
The farmers wife cannot make goot
butter unless the farmer does his par
of the work we'll.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 Especially -
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter OF l. N.
Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was great
sufferer for five or six years and moth
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to i'm.
prove almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being a cripple per.
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one of the results of dis.
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood; If the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.

Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe

the initial run across the continent.
Many improvements have been made in
that busy decade. To-day's engines and

1894. Millions of dollars have been spent
on the track alone-some of it for oil
