TENDENCY OF BREEDS.

1t should be borne in mind in breed
Ing that the proper type is what should
be aimed at, and not simply breed, bad
as well as good. Plymouth Rocks can
be raised, but the correct type of this
breed should be aimed at. The English
Dorking is recognized as the best type
Of fowl, and all breeders are trying to
produce this style. The points to aim
at are prominent, long, yet square,
breasts, short legs but with good width
between. Low set birds with good
breasts are wanted. and these are the
best to fatten. The utility type as
against the purely exhibition is grad
ually forcing its way to the front. The
broad and blocky Buff Orpington,
showing the shortest legs Of any bird,
is a case in point. 1t is impossible to
say which breed OF birds are the best
layers, 1t is the best to breed from
the birds which you notice are the best

that marked the opening of the Rus

truth Of that statement, for in the
hands Of an alert, intelligent and dar-

OF the finest battleships and one OF the

TOWER TRAP Eoa cuNNeRs.


Device Common In Europe, But Uns
In own in This Country.
The equipment Of the plnehurst IN.
c. Gun Clut embraces an interest
ing feature in the shape of tower
trap, Such traps are quite common in
Europe. but practically unknown in
this country.
In the top Of tho tower are two tar
get traps, one At the right ana one at
the left. The attendant is protected
by n heavy plank partition. which also
hides the traps from view The traps
are pulled from the rear, in the usual
manner.
Birds may be thrown in five ways,
right, left unknown, overhead and
doubles, In all of these events. with
the exception Of the overhead birds,
the shooter faces the tower at the
usual distance. In the overhead shoot
ing lie stands back to the tower and
directly underneath it. The sport fur
nshed is novel ms compared with the
usual trap shooting.
The idea is TO produce conditions
such as those the sportsman expert
ences In wild water fowl. pigeon or
other such shooting. or in shooting
birds which Fly from trees. Known
angles to the right and left are not
difficult and many gunners have n
knact for killing overhead birds, but
unknown angles puzzle the experts,
and doubles, two birds shooting Off in
opposite directions at the same time,
call for skill and qulckness that few
possess. But doubles are not impos-
sible, and the shooting is wonderfully
fascinating because of its difficulty.

A DIGESTIVE FOR HORSES.

As nearly all horses are troubled
with indigestion, due largely to same
ness in rations, and many are subject
to attacks of colds, it is a good plan
to have on hand some simple digestive
which may be mixed with the feed
given the horse. Horses that are sub
ject to stomach disturbances should be
given bran mashes several times
week, TT night, and oats should consti-
tute a very considerable portion Of
their grain ration. In feeding the bran
mashes mix in each a tablespoonful Of
powdered charcoal If the animal OBJ
jects to 1t at first, reduce the quantity
and then increase to the quantity
named. Horses subject to collie should
be carefully worked, and If such at
lacks appear with any regularity. daily
exercise should take the place of work
and the horse be treated by a veterin-
arlan. Try this charcoal treatment.
do 1t regularly, and you viii find the
digestive organs of the horses mach

BOASTS LIBELERS
 OF ARKANSAS.
Congressman Robinson Scores Author of Book Three
 Years in Arkansas"

Dardanelle, Oct. 13. Hon. Jo- seph T. Robinson, congressman from the Sixth district, delivered a ringing address from the grandstand platform at the fair grounds today. His subject was the growth, development and prosperity of the agricultural and educational interests and natural resources of the south. All in- telligent men now know that Ar kansas is one of the most pro- gressive states in the Union; yet a creature whose baseness and depravity can only be com pared to that of the celebrated 'snake-eater," who feeds on rep tiles and is a feature of the fair, had attempted to write a book, styling it "Three Years in Ar kansas" which is a libel on ev- cry honest man and woman in the state.
 After quoting a few extracts from the book, the speaker said that the author of such senti- ments should, in case he ever entered the state, be scourged from it's borders. His remarks on this subject elicited great ap- plause.

lem was suggested by Mr.. Proctor, and
WAS accepted by all.
The consideration of the bill practically
was concluded, but final action upon it was
postponed until today in order to allow an
inspection of 1t as amended.

THAT AWFUL PALPITATI0N.
Short Breath, Dizzy, Faint,
Sinking Feeling!
They Mean That You Have Weak
Heart and Weak Nerves.
Heart Failure and Sudden Deaih Sure Unless
You do the Right Thing Nov.

Failure or weakness Of heart action Is
very prev alent. 1t is a most serious and
dangerous condition to be in. The first
symptoms may be very slight, and appar-
emily trivial.
But do not fail to heed them if you value
your life. The warnings are plain and un-
mistakable.
Nervousness and weakness, giddiness,
swimming Of the head, strange, faint feel
ings, embling, short breath, sinking sensa-
ton. GOODNESS Of feet and legs, fiuttering or
palpitation in left side of the chest, feeling
of apprehension or anxiety as Of impending
danger. drowsiness daytimes, sleeplessness
at night.
A little over-exertion, excitement or emo
tion may bring on the attacks at any time,
Sudden rising from STOPPING or reclining
position will cause dizziness and rapidly
climbing stairs will make the heart palpi-
tate, produce WEAKNESS and shortness Of
breath. In some cases there are pains in
the region of the heart, but in most cases
there is no pain whatever.
Neglect Of these symptoms will result in
heart failure, spasms or neuralgia of the
heart, or death.

INTEREST IN AMERICA.
Marked Increase Noted Among the In
telligent People Of Germany.

The recent marked increased interest
among the intelligent people Of Germany In
the institutions, Industrial conditions and
history of the United States is worthy of
note, says U. 8. Consul Harris at Mann
helm, Germany. in a report to the Depart
ment of State.
He says that In at least two of the great
German universities, Berlin and Heidelberg
during the present university year lectures
are being given on the history of the
United States. This has marked a depar-
ture in German university instruction and
will greatly stimulate interest in the sub
ject.
The consul says that this increase of in
terest in the United States is doubtless due
to several causes, among which was the
visit of Prince Henry of Prussia and the
cordial feelings which the visit aroused on
both sides of the water. Mr.. Harris also
states that the approaching worlds fair at
ST Louis has been stimulus toward the
same end.

CABLE TO JAPAN.
Permission Desired to Land on the Is
land of Guam.

Inquiries have been addressed to the gov
eminent by representatives of the CONNER
cial Gable Company as to whether permits
SION could be secured to land on the island
of Guam an ocean cable connecting with
Japan. The request is based on appre-
hension that the existing Japanese cables,
both of which run to Shanghai, crossing
the mouth of the Yellow sea, may, from
their exposed possessions, be cut by the
Russians and Japan be left completely
isolated from the world. At Guam the pro-
jected cable, of course, would connect with
tn existing American cable east and west.
Careful examination has been made into
the question as to whether or not an as
sent on the part of the United States to
this request would involve a breach of neu-
trality The decision reached was in the
negative, on the ground that cable is
commercial instrument like mall ship.
