HERE AND THERE.

Purchase beef cattle when they
are cheap as at present and lay the
foundation for raising blooded stock.
The nations of the world must be fed
and in time they will pay well for
beef.
Dairy cows should not be obliged
to travel a hong distance for water.
If they do, they will go without until
they get very thirsty and -feverish,
and will then drink, until they are un-
comfortable.
Broad tires on wagon wheels do
not destroy roadbeds as do narrow
tires. On the other hand, broad tires
pack the earth in dry weather so that
the highway will turn water when the
rainy season, sets in.
-Horsehides have a value and when
for any reason horse is killed or
dies, the skin should be taken off and
preserved for the market. Fair-sized
horse-hides are worth SO to 1925;
surely an amount worth saving.
Clean up the "eye-sores" and
while you are about it clean up all the
old pieces of machinery, broken down
implements and farm machinery and
sell the old iron if you can; If not, take
it outside the camp" and dump it into
some hole or hollow, out of sight.
We have feed when we give the
farm animals proper shelter. 1t is a
sign of bad farming, of farming sure
to result improbable, to see, as one
sometimes does, beasts shivering in a
fence-corner during the bitter blasts
of winter without bite to eat.
Did you ever notice that the read
ing farmer is the prosperous farmer.
The man who already knows IL all,
and has no time for new tangled no
tons is generally the one whose farm
is ornamented with a mortgage.-and
as rule the more set he is in this
way, the larger the mortgage.
There is growing sentiment
among the best clement of the farm
ing class, that with the advent of i'm
proved methods of transportation,
| lighting and communication. those who
are engaged in agricultural pursuits
are gradually attaining higher pow
or to enjoy the beautiful things a
life.
There are but two profitable kinds
of hens as winter layers. One is the

PILL TRADE MARK INITIATED.
Druggist and Clerk Are Held in Bail
for Court.

Charged with infringing upon the trade
mark of Carter's Little Liver Pill Com
pany, Joseph T. Griffith, a druggist at the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine
streets, was held in $500 bail for Court
this afternoon by Magistrate Jermon, and
at the same time Griffith's clerk, Joseph
c. Fore, was held in $500 bail for Court on
the same charge, and also for selling Ger.
tain articles the sale of which is prohibited
by law.
The men we're arrested this morning
upon warrants issued by Magistrate Jer-
mon at the instance of Brent Good, No.
100 West Fifty-seventh Street, New York,
and Charles G. circuit, No. II Jumel Ter
race, New York, representatives of the
Carter Company. They stated that the
latter had spent $3,000,000 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit others to reap the bene-
fits.
The label in question is small one con.
tanning large letter L, and the one used
by Griffith is an exact copy, except that 1t
does not contain Carter's name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could be palmed off on
the would-be purchaser of Carriers pills,
owing to the similarity of the labels, and
held that it was evidence of a deliberate
attempt to deceive.-Philadelph Tele-
graph, Jan. a, 1904.

The Morning GIory Pest.

An Indiana farmer writes the Chi
cago Record-Herald that he considers
cattle the best 6estroyers of morning
glories. He says: Pasture such a
field by cattle; they are fond of the
leaves and vines, and will not allow
the roots to send out mass of long
INTERVIEWING vines, but will nip the
plant close to the ground, killing the
vitality of the roots in one or two sea-
sons. Another way is to seed such a
field in grass. This should be sown
with a nurse crop, which ought to be
cut for hay. The next years hay will
contain very few morning glory vines;
the third year none, provided the
grasses used contained good proper
ton of such grasses as red top, or
chard grass or bluegrass. The grasses
kill the pest"

The cause of notifies in butter is
still not entirely determined. They
may arise from several causes. One
of the principal of these is the I'M
equal mixing of the salt with the but

flakes of cream on the sides of the

which is true.

Editor Hager's last assertion that it is
"a closed incident may be true as far as
far e as he IS concerned, but he only
speaks for himself The subject of the
consolidation Of schools is question Of
interest to the people and as such is
worthy the consideration Of the public

that we took the space to discuss it. One
may discuss without disputing, or may
dispute without discussing. The above
