per cent ..-.r.-,ntfon funds and also for excess internal revenue collections. The general deposits were reduced 24,4o9, lOo partly because of the contraction Of $l3,- 984,600 Ir 'e-n- and in part by reason of the above noted loss of cash. The required reserve against deposits was reduced s6,- ll.,s25, deduoting which sum from the de- crease in cash left $4,78307s as the diminu- tion in surplus reserve. Inasmuch as such reserve in the previous week was s2.- 354,275 the loss of the above noted amount of S47S3,075 caused a deficiency of $2, 42S, 800.
 Computed upon tho basis of deposits less Ss536O00 public funds, against which It may be noted no cash reserve Is re- qured by the treasury department to be held. the deficiency is $294, 800. The statement made a good proof. the sum of the contraction in loans and the loss of cash being only s422 300 greater than the decrease in deposits. It Is noteworthy that the loans exceeded deposits by s15.- 9690vo; there is, however. nothing to cause apprehension such excess of loans pror

a coon scratching around on the fences and making noise enough to scarce the old Harry. As soon as he'd made his nails sharp he'd waltz into the patch, turning over and over while at play with his tail.
 After little of this he'd nip at an ear of corn for half a second, making believe he didn't like it. Pretty soon he'd have another fit of turning somersaults, and would tumble all about the field, for all the world like kitten at play By this time he'd get most to the middle Of the patch. when hed stop and wash his whiskers and his paws. In the course of half an hour or so he'd get hungry and begin to stuff himself. As soon as he was busy I'd creep up and let an arrow go whiz between his eyes or-what's bet ter-Id hit him back of his head where 1t joins his body. Most every time one shot was enough for him, but when he tried to run away or showed fight-which some of 'em did-I gave him another dose. That always cooked him."
 The greatest haul of 'coons ever made by Houston in single night was twenty one, of which nineteen were taken from the inside of hollow tree in which the animals had sought safety from pursuing dogs. In describing the bulk of the con gregated beasts, Houston says: There were more than two carloads The pelts were enough for two coonskin overcoats.
 The training of live raccoons for fight ing with dogs, a form of sport which is held in high favor in rural Maine. and for household pets, where they take the place of dogs in keeping guard over the prem ises, Is a new occupation. which Houston has taken up since he has become too old to hunt.
 He believes that he is the only man in the world who has succeeded in breeding 'coons while they were in captivity. The first litter of 'coons ever born in captivity was dropped in May. 1898. There were seven of them, and all grew up to fight their way to fame. One, vigorous young male, after whipping every dog he met and killing four of them, was sold to a man In Lowell, Mass, for soo.
 In the summer of 1904 Houston had sixteen tame raccoons running at large in the woods, but coming up to be fed and petted whenever he whist1ed to them.
 The dog and coon fights which are so popular in Maine are conducted in the manner of badger fights in England. The coon Is allowed to seek a hole which Is deep enough to conceal the animal, all but it's head. Then wagers are laid as to the ability of given dog to draw given coon, and also on the time which will elapse before the coon Is pulled from It's hole.
 Those who have witnessed the contests declare that they are far ahead Of lights between two dogs. Houston has one old coon that has fought forty-two battles. Both of it's ears have been chewed off, and its face is badly scared, but the animal is still able to meet any dog that may come along.

Dairylng in Michigan.

Michigan is not considered a dairy
state, and yet, according to a recent
census, there arc in that state 14,11G
farms deriving their chief income
from dairy products. On these dairy
farms there are 74,043 COWS, which
makes an average of a little over
five cows to farm. The number of
COWS in the state used for the pro.
duction of milk principally Is over
$4,000, according to the census of
1900. About G0,000,000 pounds of farm
butter are made yearly, and this has
a value Of 100000. In addition,
over 100000 pounds of butter are
made in the creameries, and the value
of this swells the aggregate value of
the butter made to over $4,000, 900.
This is a good showing when it is
considered that in the enumeration of
the cows must be very large mum.
Der that produce little or nothing.
How much greater would be the pro-
duction il every poor COW were re-.
placed with good COW!

IT'S THE TERROR Or ALL WOMEN.

eackache Quickly Cured by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Mrs. w. n. Ambrose
tells how her pains vanished never

American Kidney Remedy.
Dover, KY, Feb. 13th.-(SpeciaD-
So long has Backache been the terror
of the women of America that the
numerous reports of the complete and
permanent cures of this ailment now
being made by Dodd's Kidney Pills
are causing wide satisfaction and not
the least remarkable of these cures
is that of Mrs. W. II. Ambrose of this
place. Mrs. Ambrose says:

times l could hardly move and other
symptoms showed that my kidneys
were affected. One box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills drove away all the pains

ease may develop into Diabetes,

Alfalfa and Corn.

Up to the last ten years alfalfa and
corn did not grow generally in the
same region, the alfalfa clinging 10
flourish. But during the last decade
the corn-growing area has been
pushed steadily westward by dry farm
culture and methods that pack the soil
to make the moisture there most avail
able for the corn crop. Alfalfa, on the
and northward till now it has swung
away entirely, so to speak, from the
arid regions and grows both in humid
and in arid lands. Where the two
crops can be grown in the same To-
cality, there is probably no better
combination of feeds for cattle. The
corn is rich in fatforming material
and the alfalfa rich in material to
make muscle. The one furnishes a
great over-balance of carbohydrate
and the other still larger Overhaul
ance Of protein. 1t is easy to COM
pound from the two ration that is in
every sense profitable and easy to
feed.
Some farmers think they are max
ing money feeding corn and prairie
hay, but there is still more profit in
feeding corn and alfalfa. Alfalfa and
corn and clover and corn are combi.
nations that cannot be excelled for
cattle feeding and fattening, provided
they can be obtained at a reasonable
cost. The fact that several crops of
alfalfa can be grown the same year
greatly reduces the per ton cost of
alfalfa and gives it certain advan-
tage over common hay.
