Utilizing Il Few Acres.


There are many people in farming
land in fairly good filth who do not
know how to utilize them to advau-
tage. Surrounded as they are by large
farms, they have an idea that there
Is not land enough to make anything
cut or 1t. While it is true that local
conditions have much TO do with what
this small area can best be used for,
In n general way it is safe to say that
II the owner will do some intelligent
studying he can find way of making
even few acres profitable. OF course,
much depends upon the man and his
resources. If one IS naturally inclined
to fruit-growlng, knows something
about the business, and is near q fair
~ good market, he ought 10 make the
few acres bring him golden returns.
The same with poultry raising. In
other sections it might be the best
plan to turn the small area into
meadow, particularly if it was suited
to grass and labor was high and hay
brought a good price. All things must
be considered in attempting to make q
small area profitable with crops. but
1t can be done if one will work out
the problem with intelligence.
Trough for Young Stock.
One of the troubles in feeding stock
Is the waste of food, and there should
be some plan on every farm where
there is a number of heads of sheep or
calves so that the feeding could be
done at the smallest possible expense
and at the greatest possible saving.
A trough built in the following man
ner will be found saver of feed,
While it may be made any length de-
sired ten feet is good length, and ii
should be fifteen inches wide and, the

Still More Evidence.

Bay City, ILL.,, August Especial. }
MIR. X. F. Henley oil this city adds
his evidence to that published almost
daily that sure cure for Rheumatism
is now before the American people and
that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Henley had Acute Rheumatism.
He has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
Gays of the result:
"After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, l at
last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the
result that I got more benefit fro T.
them than all the others put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief, and I recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute
Rheumatism"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
in the blood. Healthy kidneys take
all the Uric Acid out of the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys.

Reproving the Apostate.

In the early days Of the British
Royal Academy reverence for the "old
masters" of painting amounted almost
to worship. When at dinner Sir
Martin Shee, one Of the early presi-
dents, openly expressed doubts of their
infinite superiority, says NJ. A. p, his
hearers were Mortified.
Sir Martin leaned across the dinner
table and raped upon it to empha
size his points.

for old Woodburn, a picture dealer
who sat opposite.

pale with emotion, 1--WE often 'eard

THE BIBLE AND OTHER BOOKS

Three Hundred Million Copies of the
Scriptures Circulated in a Century.
On Wednesday, March 7, 1904, "a
numerous and respectable meeting Of
persons of various denominations was
held at the London Tavern, and So
ciety formed "to promote the circula-
ton Of the Holy Scriptures in the prin-
cipal living languages" At that time
the Bible, or portions of it, could be
obtained in about forty living Ian
guages, spoken by two-tenths of the
race. During the century since the
meeting at the London Tavern ad-
journed, and very largely from the
machinery then and there started, the
Scriptures have been translated into
$50 languages and dialects, understood
by seven-tenths of the race. By the
London society alone 10000, ,OOO copies
have been distributed, at an expense Of
$7O,OOO,OOO. If we add to this total the
100000 copies already distributed by
the younger American Bible Society,
and the unknown millions printed and
sold by private enterprise, we find our
selves inside a safe estimate if we hold
that certainly 3O0,OOO,OOO copies of the
Scriptures, in whole or separate, books
or portions, have gone into circula ton
during the last century.
Amazement attends the study of the
Bible, whatever the point of view or
the course pursued. But nothing about
the Bible is more amazing than its
continuous, universal and utterly un-
paralleled popularity. In nearly every,
if not every, country on earth where
books are sold, more Bibles are sold
than any other book. Last year the
British and Foreign Bible Society
alone distributed 5,943,775 copies, the
majority by sale, in 80 languages,
covering every part OF the globe. And
the issue by the American Society for
the year amounted to 1,993,55S Bibles
and portions.-Century.

the opening of the Model Fairgrounds
the other day. There she saw dainty
little carriages, upholstered in blue
silk, with tiny white Blankets and coun-
terpanes with lace edges. Skyblue took
her own little Chez to the baby's party,
strapped in the leather and bark
papoose frame, to her back. Chez was
content and very happy. Her big
bright, dark eyes took in the pretty
scene with an apparently perfect un-
derstanding Of metropolitan social
ways.
But Skyblue did not have a happy
moment after she saw the little go
carts and was told to what use they
were put. Sne resolved then and there
that she would have one.
She is a large, healthy woman, and
the excuse that she was not strong
enough to carry her papoose on her
back she knew would not carry weight
with the Indian officials. The only rea-
son she knew of that she should have
q new sort Of carriage was based on
her theory that nothing was too good
for little Chez"
She was given to understand that
she would be permitted to purchase
one, but that she would not be al
lowed to use it while in st. Louis, for
the officials argued that such an inno-
vation would spoil their exhibit.
This question of imitation among
the Indians is one of the most per-
sistent that the Indian officials have
to contend with. Nearly every day
one of the squaws, the young children
and the chiefs suggest to DR.. Meow
