Under the caption, THE Union Pa
tory" the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
while the construction of the
Union Pacific Railroad, it's trials and
triumphs, are part of the history of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
Ement OF the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
ton of the region was estimated at
10000 Up to the inception OF the
Union Pacific Tin 1861 it had in
creased to 3,233,5 In 1900 it num-
bered over 100000 of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with it's stu
pendous increase in all the many-sided
phases of commercial, material and
intellectual pros Gritty. the Union Pa
cific-as a glance at the map will
show-has had conspicuous share.
III mas opened vast regions OF 1ertllo
country to settlers. and brought great
areas of an unknown and unproduc-
tive wilderness into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham
let's, through its efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
II may be of interest to know that
the total number of manufacturing
plants, and the value of their outputs,
combined with that of the national
products as reported in the census of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of $4,000, 900 900
annually, or 223 times the original pur-
chase price. The same census reports
(1900) also show the total population
to be 13.343 ,255, of which 5000 in
habitants are living in the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa
cific. On the 1900 census figures. it is
estimated that the true wealth of the
Louisiana purchase can be stated at
about s13,051 1868, 1853, of which 50 $780,
62l 1897 is represented in the states

NEW IN BARN CONSTRUCTION.
Building Put Up at Edge Of Slope Of
Land.

The illustration shows a cross sec
tion of barn through the manure
boxes. of which there are -four. The
barn is built at the edge of a slope
of land, the feed room end resting on
the ground, while the remainder of
the building extends over the valley,
so that the floor upon which the cows
stand is some fourteen feet above
the ground yNis makes 1t possible to
have the manure boxes beneath the
stable. These are each about eight
feet deep and seven feet square, and
as the cows require no bedding each
manure box will hold the droppings
of fifty COWS for two or more days.
The bottoms of the manure boxes are
six feet above the ground, so that a
wagon or sleigh can be driven beneath
them to receive the manure which
may be hauled away to the fields
daily, IL desired. In this way the
manure does not accumulate about
the barns to become nuisance.

WIRE FENCE BIRDS LARDER.
California Songster Makes Use Of
Queer Storehouse.

When the barbed wire fence first
came into use in California, cattle
owners cursed the inventor. Not SO
the butcher bird. The butcher bird is
creature about the size of small
crow, and he lives on insects and
smaller birds
At first the farmers who instituted
the barbed wire wondered how SO
many grasshoppers. beetles, field mice
and small birds became impaled upon
the barbs of their fence wires. They
soon learned, for the butcher bird is
not secretive creature. When grass
hoppers and other bugs were plenti.
full, he gathered great stores and stuck
them on the barbs of the fences. When
hard times came, the barbed wire
fence was to him like a free lunch
counter.
Now. in winter time, 1t is no rare
thing in parts of California to see the
butcher bird hopping along the fence
wires, continually picking his meals
as he skips from barb to barb.

The cost of hauling stone, sand and
gravel and brick being equal and the
freight charges on cement are not too
high, concrete would be the cheapest
material to use. Where cement can
be gotten direct from the mills, con
crete walls may be built for eleven
cents per cubic foot or even less in
some cases. The cost of building a
concrete wall may be arrived at by
ca lculating from the following basis:
One barrel of Portland cement will

NiAtih9 HctoFt OF Mad Poet TO an

Many stories are told of Mcdonald

that he had vein of great shrewd-

They were not gentlemen in the

some sport with the poor poet. Con-

necessarily clear tone:

ton for his poems, and | would give

When he passed the mad poet lean
ed Forward and said with evident
qualification:
Sir, l am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see."
The young man stared at him with
much rudeness for a moment, and
then drawing a quarter from his
pocket he laid it on the poets plate,
saying. That's for the sight"
Clarke looked at the coin for an in.
slant, and then placing it in his peck

u. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
catarrh Of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
Is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and . Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which
is Really Catarrh.

rX. U. s. Senator M. G. Butler from
II South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In .
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. G., says:
~ can recommend Peruns for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. ! have
been using your medicine for short
period and feel very much relieved.
II Is Indeed wonderful medicine be-
sides q good tonic. M c. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures 1t. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it Is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
