FEEDING FOR SWEET HAMS.
How an Illinois Farmer Produces
Pork That Is Sweet, Wholesome
and Health1ul.

A northwestern gentleman visiting an
Illinois farmer who killed and cured his
own meat was SO captured by the SUI
perior aroma and favor of the ham
served at the farmers table that he was
led to inquire his method of feeding,
which was given as follows:
1.-THE ration is simple. 1t consists OF
corn, either shelled or on the cob,
whichever is the most convenient, and
when conditions permit, the corn is al
ways soaked. In addition to the corn he
gave plentiful supply of swill, made by
adding Is pounds of linseed cake (oil-
meal) to the barrel of water"
He stated that he had fed hogs in this
way for Is years. They took on flesh
faster, were always healthy, and had
never had q case of hog cholera. He
was surprised at the simplicity of t.
method and the cause of the excellence
the hog meat. If this method were
universally followed venison and fowl
would be discarded, and the meat Of the
once despised hog would soon become a
delicacy more frequently seen on every
table in the land. 1t is self-evident
that the reason for hog meat being I'M
der the ban in olden times was the fact
that hogs were scavengers by compul-
sion. Driven to eat the most repulsive
garbage to sustain life, their meat was
affected thereby, and their meat was no
doubt unclean.-Midland Farmer.

4 Wonderful Discovery,

sensation has been created here by the
publication Of the story of g. w. Gray,
who after special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Fright's Disease has always been consid.
cred incaraDle, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.: Gray, there is a remedy
which. will cure it, even in the most ad.
yanced stages. This ia what he says:
II was helpless az q little bale. My
wife and I searched everything ind read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that would be able to
find remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that I should try Dodd's
kidney Pills. I praise God for the day
when I decided to do 80, for this remedy
met every phase Of my case and in !
short time I was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment I was q
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
+ A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

I AM TIRED.
Everybody is Tired-Spriog
Weather Does t-EveryOne
Should Be Cautious.

Depression OF Tho nervous system N
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitqde, dull, heav y sensa-
lions, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss OF
sleep. Peruna meets every indication
and proves itself to be perfectly adapted
to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna
invigorates the system, rejuvenates the
feelings, restores the normal appetite
and produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigor-
ating cold of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily testifying to its priceless benefit.
Mrs. Fl. Kassatt, 1909 w. 18th street,
Des Moines, a., writes: II am happy to
give my endorsement for your valuable
medicine, Peruna, as consider it q val
liable medicine to take when the system
is run down from overwork. About
two years ago felt that I must take
long rest as had been unable to work
for over a month and could not regain
my strength. I could not sleep at night
and was in a very nervous, high strung
condition. I decided to try what Pc
runa would do to buildu my strength,
and an pleased to say that began to
improve very shortly, and in less than
two months I was able, to take up my
work, and felt better than have for
years. 1 take it now twice year and
find that it keepsm me in perfect health. "
Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the
manager of a plant furnishing ladies'
wear and employing hundreds Of
women.

HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT.
There Were Obstacles to the Free
Movement Of Doors That
Opened Outward.

There was a man who had read that it
was safer to make the doors OF all houses
open outward instead of inward, says the
Chicago Tribune. -.
He remembered it, and when he built
house Of his own he had all the outer
doors hung in accordance with that idea.
One bright morning in March he moved
into his new home. :.
Late in the evening of the same day it
began to snow, and it kept on showing un.
til the ground was covered foot deep.
Then the wind blew and piled the snow
in drifts.
After which it began to rain.
The rain later turned to sleet and the

and have the ice and snow blasted away
from his doors so he could open them and

Of the packers and consumers Of beef.
The cattle feeder who has been watching

is past, and that the cattle feeding in
dustry has changed. am not an ad-
vocate of short feeding such as the 60
to 90-day feed, such as is now being
practiced by so many feeders, for be-
lieve that the man who feeds that
length of time simply loses his corn.

or more is out Of date, and is losing
game all the way through, no matter
what the market is.

grade steer that has been fed up sys-
tematicaliy for six or seven months, and
which weighs about $50 to 1, 400 pounds,
is the class of cattle that sell more
readily than the ], 700-pound steers that
have fed on feed a year. The feeder
must study his line of business, and do
the work systematically, too, as the hap
hazard feeder cannot expect good re-
suits. The great trouble with most OF
the cattle coming to the market at the
present time is that they have been
warmed up and are not fit to be market
ed for butchering purposes, and they
are a little too sappy to sell as feeders to
take back into the country. So in this
case the feeder lost his corn. This class
of steers ought to have been sold before
they were fed as stockers or feeders, or
finished up so they would bring price
that would make them more profitable.
