An Ohio Notary.

Salineville, O., May 23.-Mr John w.
Manning, Notary Public for Columbiana
County and one of the most respected men
of the state, has caused to be published
the following letter:
About one year ago, 1 was suffering
terribly from Kidney Trouble. I saw an
advertisement of medicine called Dodd's
Kidney Pills and sent for two boxes.
In the meantime, [ suffered awfully,
and as soon as l got the Pills l began TAX
ing them according to directions and got
almost immediate relief, and l have this
further to say, that after using the two
boxes, l have never been troubled with
my Kidneys since.
Il have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others, who have tried them, and
everyone who used them has been cured.
| think they are great remedy and all
that is claimed for them."
MIR. Manning's letter is a strong recon-
mendation for Dodd's Kidney Pills and is
worth the attention of all who suffer with
Kidney troubles.

WHAT THE KING EATS.
What's Fit for Him.

A Massachusetts, lady who has been
through the mill with the trials of the
usual housekeeper and mother relates an
interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
Il can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of all
cereal foods in my family, young as we'll
as old. 1t is food and medicine both to
us. A few mornings ago at breakfast
my little boy said:
Mamma, does the king eat Grape
Nuts very morning?'
Il smiled and told him I did not know,
but that thought Grape-Nuts certainly
made a delicious dish, fit for king"
Otis fact that the king of England and
the German emperor both eat Grape
Nuts.)
81 find that by the constant use of
Grape-Nuts not only as morning cereal
but also in buildings, salads. etc.. made
after the delicious recipes found in the
little book in each package it is proving
to be great nerve food for me, besides
having completely cured a long standing
case of indigestion" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial Of this proper food in
place of improper food will show in
steady, strong nerves, sharper brain
and the power to ego" longer and further
and accomplish more. There's reason.
Look in each pkg. for the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellvilie."

STOCK
A PORTABLE SCALE FRAME.
One Person Can Push It On or Off in
One Minute and It Will Last
for Years.

In recent issue of the Homestead,
Mr.. E. M. Dodds describes his portable
frame for stock scales which We think
is a very good one and may interest
some of our readers. He says:
Make the frame about six inches
smaller than the platform, making it
high enough so it may be braced at the
top and so the lower brace will admit
al stock beneath it. Build the frame
just as you would any other stock frame.
I used some old barn door rollers on the
bottom of each upright, procured some

PIG FEEDING EXPERIMENT.
Conducted for the Purpose of Ascer-
tanning How Much Pork
Bushel of Corn Will Make.

The question is often asked, Cow much
pork will bushel of corn make? We
have been making experiments last win
ter and have found that bunch of 76
pigs made fully ten pounds gain for each
bushel of corn fed. This is very good
showing when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that the test was made on pigs
that we were finishing. We have often
done decidedly better than this on light
er hogs, but never made better gains
On heavy hogs.
1t is no uncommon thing to make II
pounds gain on light hogs running on
pasture. I might also say that the ten
pound gain was made during the very
cold weather of the past February.
These pigs had very good sleeping quar-
tiers and were fed out of doors in an
open feed floor, with a good protection
from the wind No warm feed was fed
1t is needless to say that the pigs kept a
keen appetite in spite of the very cold
weather.
This is due, l think, to the fact that
they had run all summer on pasture and
had also been fed on pumpkins during
the fall months. Their stomachs had
thus been expanded and kept in good
shape.
I have always noticed that when our
pigs have been fed literally during the
fall months on pumpkins their ap-
petites remain good even if they are fed
long time.
This is not all; by observation have
noticed that their digestion is also much
better. This insures good gains for feed
consumed.-Northwestern Agriculture

The Quality of Feeders.

Men that select cattle for feeding pur-
poses find that the animals that give the
best results are those that have in them
a large proportion of the blood of some
one of the improved beef breeds. In
other words, the grades of any one of the
beef breeds are far superior to monde
scripts and scrubs. The more improved
blood in an animal the better the animal
for feeding purposes.
