Price of Corn and Beef.

A noted cattle raiser says that the
price of corn and beef should go to-
gether. When corr is high, beef must
be high, or the farmer will go out of
the cattle raising business. The man
refbYred to declares that the large re-
ceip.s of cattle during the past year
are due to the steady unloading of the
farmers that do not want to feed high
priced corn to medium-priced cattle.
It also accounts, he says, for many of
tbs animals arriving in a half fat con-
dition. 1t is doubtless true that there
is not.a wide enough difference between
corn-finished cattle and cattle that
have received almost no fitting at all.
When every bushel of corn a mar puts
into his beef cattle is put in at a loss,
as is the case this year, farmers IAN
not be very enthusiastic in the finish
ing of cattle.-Farmers' Review.

GRADE THE CRACKED CORN.
It Paws to Do This Wherever a Large
Number of Hens and Chicks
Is Kept.

In feeding dry cracked corn to poul-
try much of the very fine is wasted I'M
less it is sifted more thoroughly than
is usually the case when brought from
the mill, and often it is impossible to
get the sizes wanted for feeding from
the finely crackeu for little chicks to
very cease cracked for fowls and pig
cons. This led me to arrange a sort of
grader. / made a hopper large enough

cracked corn, with a shut-off in bottom
so as to regulate the flow of grain, then
with three sizes of galvanized wire net

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people thinkthat catarrh is a dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes. lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis
covery afteralong siege of useless treat
ment. She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cur catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt andsatis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

The Hens Paw the Rent.

John Fridge, of West Union, Ia.
lives upon an SO-acre farm and by hard
work and the raising of poultry he has
been able to do exceedingly well and
make more than a comfortable living
by the raising of chickens and selling
of poultry and eggs. Mr.. Fridge has
sold in one years time $267 worth of
eggs, or more than enough to pay the
rent of the farm. He attributes his
success to the attention he gives to the
care and the feeding of fowls.

PIinv Was Too Slow.

Here is another case where the poets
have a~ntedated the scientists, according
to the New York Tribune. DR.. Fran
colini, of Rome, Italy, has published a
statement to the effect that the source
of the Clitumnus, a small Umbrian
river sacred to the Romans, may con
tain radium, basing his opinion on
a description of Pliny and on passages
in the works of many writer's and po-
cts, from Virgil to Byron. The wa
tiers at the source of the river are
the color of violet. Tie matter il

How to Hitch the Animals So That

Pigskin Grated on Woman.

By using the skin of a pig two
months old the life of Mary Grant, a
colored woman of Richmond, Va, has
been saved. Some weeks ago the wom-
an was fearfully burned about the body
by the explosion of a lamp. Much CT
her skin was destroyed, and could not
be replaced by nature. Efforts were
made to get her relatives to supply the
necessary cuticle for grating, but they
objected. The physician in charge then
procured a young white pig, which
was chloroformed, and enough Of the
necessary hide removed and grated
on the Woman.

True to His Friends.

An answer to an advertisement for a
school assistant capable of teaching the
classics as far as Homer and Virgil"
makes one of the best stories in the Dean
of Bristol's recent book, odds and Ends"
Sir" the answer ran, with reference
to the advertisement in the Times re-
specting a school assistant, / beg to state
that | should be happy to fill that situa-
ton, but as most of my friends reside in
London, and not knowing how far Homer

the classics farther than Hammersmith or
Furnham Green, or at the very utmost
distance, farther than Brentford."

The Value of Good Queens.

1t is just as easy to rear queens
from good stock as it is from poor.
The difference in the price of a good
queen for breeding and a poor n is of
little consequence, when the number of
queens which she will produce is con-
sidered. AS to the profit of a good
queen over a poor one, there is no COM
parison. A poor queen may be kept
for one or two seasons and her bees
produce no surplus at all, whereas a
good queen would by her bees produce
a surplus.-Orange Judd Farmer.

A Bows Story.

Cross Roads, Warren Co., Tenn, May
2nd.-Orbra Young, the eleven-year-old
son of Mr.. Lester Young, of this place;
has never been a strong boy for almost
from his birth. He has suffered more or
less with a distressing Kidney Complaint.
Recently, however, he has appeared to be
growing stronger and better till, indeed,
to-day he is a splendid looking hearty lad.
He is a bright and very intelligent boy
and speaks of his former illness in this
way:
Il have been bothered with Kidney
Trouble nearly all my life. l was grad.
