separators Growing TN Favor.

One Of the most surprising changes.
to the uninitiated, going on among
farmers, is the rapidity which the farm
cream separator has grown in favor
with the best farmers. Formerly the
dairy business was slavish because OF
the absence of natural conditions un-
der which dairying could be done ad-
vantageously. But since the introduce
tion Of the farm separator, many
farmers have allowed the heifeIs to
live and develop into cows. and more
are increasing their number of cows,
all Of which will call for more cream
separators till they are as common al
wagons.-Thomas Wing. In Farm and

Mi.o.na is not a mere digestive that

Mi.o-na is not mere digestive that
simply gives temporary relief.
While It helps the food to digest, it
also has positive strengthening
action upon the digestive organs and
puts the whole system in proper phys
tcal condition. 1t restores power to
the nerves of the stomach and in this
way gives that important organ the
power to digest food. In this way
natural flesh is regained and health
restored.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. The bond protects
you, so that if fails to give desired
effect, The w. r. Smith Co. will return

RAISING DAIRY cows.

Had n Record.

II dairymen would depend upon rais-
ing their dairy animals themselves the
result would be much more satisfac-
tory, as rule. thar to buy from stock
men or spectators in a haphazard
way any "pickups" that are offered.
In order to begin right calves should
be selected whose grandams on both
sides had a good record at the pail or
churn; then there will be a reasonable
hope that the calf will evolve into a
profitable COW.
II We are in the dairy business for
milk, then the attention is drawn to-
ward the animal which will turn her
food and energies into furnishing an
abundance Of milk; but II the aim be
cream or butter, we do not care
whether the amount of milk be large
or small, SO 1t yields a proper amount
Of butter fat.
But II the dalryman deems the rear
ing Of calves only "side ISSUE" and.
as result, gives only Indifferent
treatment, he might as we'll buy his
own cows. for stunted calf is a pitt
able object, and will never fulfil its
destiny, no matter what its after treat
ment may be.
Extravaganza in the feeding Of the
calf Is pardonable-parsimoniousness
never. Extravagant feeding-it would
be so called by many-means milk
fresh from the cow or new milk at
least three weeks after the birth of the
calf; and the calf that is not worth
what new milk II can consume during
the first few weeks of its life Is not
worth the raising. Let me emphasize
that the first weeks of the calfs exist

LAND LOTTERY WINNERS.

Fortune Favored Women Above Men
 In Disposing Rosebud Farms.
 In the land lottery at Chamberlain, S. D., which closed the other day; in which 25OO fine farms of the Rosebud reservation were drawn, each woman applicant for a farm stood just about twice as good a chance of winning as each man, says the New York Her aid. Commissioner Richards and his associates in charge of the drawing say it was a most remarkable freak of fortune.
 There were 100000 registered appIi- cants for the land No separate count was kept of the numbers of men and women, and many names in the lists do not indicate the whole number of women, their initials only being given. Most of them were schoolteach working girls and stenographers; but from Omaha, Sioux City, Sioux Falls and other nearby places were many hundreds of women of the first fapi- lies. Sioux City girls had one chance In twenty to draw a farm, while the man from that town had only one chance in sixty. Of about 400 women from that city eighteen drew farms, while of about 2.B0O men only forty
 eight were as fortunate.
 By states Nebraska leads with 24 per cent of the winners Iowa had twen- ty-two and South Dakota eighteen. AL most every state and territory was represented in the winning list.

INJURED BY A
 TORPEDO EXPLOSION

Ansonia.- Aug LA nine-year- boy by the name of Dodge was pam fully lacerated by the explosion of q railroad torpedo yesterday morning aho,,t 10 o'clock. He was walking alono the tracks of the Berkshire df- vision. near Division street when ne picked up the cap, and placing It on one of the rails. picked up a large stone bo set it off. Immediately there was arl explosion which sounded much like a blast, and the lad was knocked almost prostrate to the ground. A man bv the name of Brown happened to be near at hand and seeing the trouble, hastened to the lads assistance and carried him to his home nearby.
 Dr Mcclure of Derby was hastily summoned and he found the boy bleed ing from wounds all over his body. Both wrists were badly cut and con tused, good sized piece of metal be- ing embedded in his right forearm. His face, both shoulders and legs were also badly iacerated.
 His left eye was quite badly cut also, but 1t is beloved that the sight will be saved. pr Mcclure said his body was one mass of little cuts made by particles of sand, which pierced his clothing when the torpedo exploded.
 Where the cap came from no one seems to know. but it is thought that it was probably lost by one of the fagmen, as it was not bent when found, which otherwise might have indicated that it had in some manner fallen from position on the track.
