My Dear Madam:-Three of my

their blood was evidently in very bad
condition. Nothing we did for them
seemed to cure the sores, so we finally
bought half dozen bottles of your cell
ebrated remedy and had them take it
as prescribed. After using four bot
ties the sores have nearly all gone

orovement. / have never known a
medicine so satisfactory in it's results.

Windsor County Horse Breeders
Association.

At the annual meeting of this 1850
riutiou. h-ij.tho s,.t ef January last.
the report of the value Of the stakes
Of r9os and 1903, was so favorable
that it was unanimously voted to
continue the stakes for foals of 1904.
1t would seem self evident that
breeders Of Windsor county cannot
afford to keep out Of these stakes.
The cost is so small, the advertise
ment so large, that it more than
adds the cost to the selling value OF
the colt, and the actual winners Sc.
cure rich prize.
While every colt will not prove a
winner, the fact that he is entered
and eligible to the stake will give
him send.off, so far as sales are
concerned, that can be secured in
no other way at so little cost
This has been proven over and
over by the history of older stake
organizations. Horse buyers on
the lookout for promising young
stock keep advised oil these meets {;
they give them an easy chance to
see the cream Of the young stock of
a certain locality, and you may be
sure they will be there to see, and
colts shown mt these meets can be
advertised in no Other way so cheap
ly and so well.
There is no mistake but that the
breeding Of good nurses has taken
a long stride in this vicinity during
the past five years, and it will not
be long before the Woodstock horse
market will be we'll known.
The stake for loals of 1904 is
opened on the same conditions as
that Of 1903; all nominations to he
made by April Ist. an payments on
Nov. iSt. and April Ist. Stake to
close in the fall OF 1907.
All information and proper blanks
will be furnished BY the Secretary,

GAVE A GOLDFISH DINNER
A. J. Aikens, Former Barnardite,
Entertains Milwaukee Friends

The following from the Evening
Wisconsin Of Milwaukee will inter,
est many who remember Andrew !,
Aikens, \ native Of Barnard and u
former resident of Woodstock,
where he learned the printers t,ade
in The Age office. He is Il son OF
the late Warren Aikens of Barnard,
and his mother, who was ~ dia
Rowland, was u descendcnt Of John
Rowland, mentioned below. She
was born ON the Buck farm,
a bona iide New England Goldfish
dinner was given today at / o'clo, X,
at the Milwaukee club, by Andrew
]. Aikens, general manager of The
Evening Wisconsin, in celebration
of Forcfathers' day-thc day when
the historic Mayhower landed the
little band OF Pilgrim fathers on the
shores of New England Mr..
Aikens' foleiathers were among the
number and, like many othc,
American families descended from
those who came over in the May
flower, it has been his annual GUS
tom to celebrate the anniversary e
the day.
For number ofyears past Mr..
Aikens has given his Goldfish dinner
at the Milwaukee club, inviting
thereto few personal friends, some
of whom are also Mayhower de-
scendants, and spreading before
them feast typical of the first dis
cover, of the toothsome col by the
pilgrims. The big, twenty pound
fish which is the piece de resistance
of the banquet, comes each year
from Pigeon Cove, Massachusetts
Bay, from fish firm which has
been in existence there for 100
years. Other dishes served today
were Gods tongues and sounds, pork
scrap and butter gravy, boiled pota-
toes, Boston brown bread, roasted
and parched corn--thc latter rather
for the sake of sentiment. With the
hard cider, which was the only bev.
erage served, Jokes and stories cir
culated.
Mr.. Aikens presided, making a
few Introductory remarks, in which
he told the guests that, Immediately |
upon the Landing OF the Mavhower,
his ancestor, John Rowland, II
lusty young man, put forth his fish
ing tackle and caught the first cod.
fish hooked in these waters b> a
white man. This same ancestor,
soon thereafter, shouldered his
rifle, went into the woods back of
the rock, and brought down il few
wild turkeys. 1t is from this ances.
tors prediction for hunting and
fishing that Mr.. Aikens considers he
inherited his own fondness for the
pleasures of the hunt and of the
rod.
