teachers of all the several schools Of
practice endorse and recommend, in tho
strongest terms possible. each and every
ingredient entering into the composition
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia,
catarrh of stomach, silver complaint"
torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel
affections, and all catarrhal diseases Of
whatever region, name or nature. 1t Is
also specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec-
tions and their resultants, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases Except consump-
tom accompanied with severe coughs. 1t
Is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases it is
especially atficacious In producing per-
feet cures. 1t contains Black Cherry bark,
Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root,
Mandrake root and Queens root-all Of
which are highly praised as remedies for
all the above mentioned affections by such
eminent medical writer's and teachers as
Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. Col
lege; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa;
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben

scores of Others equally eminent in their
several schools of practice.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any
such professional endorsement worth
more than any number of ordinary testi-
monials. Open publicity of its formula

being used instead. Glycerine is entirely
unObjectionable and besides is q most
useful ingredient in the cure of all stom-
ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung
affections. There is the highest medical
authority for It's use in all such cases.

Harvest Soma.


Farther to the south the sun
Droops his falling head
Now the summers course Is run
And her pride is dead;
Rich along the weeded roads
Goldenrod stands tall
And the purple thistle mist
Plumes the summers pail.
Now in drowsy autumn dreams
Locked the landscape lies,
While a chastened glory streams
From the azure skies;
Like the harmony OF bloom
On ripe fruit, the days
Mornings blush and evenings dyes
Blur in mist-blue haze.
Deep the mellow languor falls
on the silent noon;
No bird save the blue jay calls,
Woods and meadows swoon;
Ghostlier than on summer nights
Winds sound from afaT,
Weak the sun pales as the moon,
or the evening star.
So the tide of life endures,
Wakes, wanes, and falls,
While earths mystery immures
Souls in mortal walls;
Still to JOY my heart will cling,
What though winter come,
/ have heard the throstle sing
And the brown bees hum,
Sweetest season Of the mist,
When the summer wanes.
Skies OF tender amethyst,
Fields OF golden grains;
Blessed days Of ripened joy.

Of the insect, which are deposited on

covered the sedge is beaten over pieces
Of cloth and the eggs are secured.
These are collected and ground into a

horses upon the ranches. Rolled bar,
ley is the form in which IL is usually
fed, as in this condition there is said
to be less waste than when whole or
ground For this purpose the grain il
passed through heavy rollers, which
crush ii without grinding it.
There is much difference of opinion
among farmers as to the value of al
falfa for horses. Some prefer timothy
or wild hay. together with grain.
Some feed alfalfa and grain, while
others maintain that horses do well
enough upon alfalfa alone. 1t is usual
ly admitted that for hard work horses
should be given at least a small allow
ance of grain.
In Wyoming some ranchmen claim
that wild hay gives a firmer flesh than
alfalfa, and thus. ever when feeding
the latter to cattle being prepared for
the market, the stockmen will feed
wild hay for about two weeks prior to
shipment. Some feeders finish by add
ing grain to the ration. For this pur-
pose barley Is used, as it Is the only
grain available through most of the
northwest. The seasons are too short
or the nights too cold for the success
full cultivation Of corn, the standard
feeding grain Of the region to the east,
and freight rates make this grain when
shipped too expensive for use.
At Fort Collins and adjacent parts
of Colorado large numbers Of sheep
are fattened for the market upon al
falfa and corn. IT is said that about
100000 were fed In that vicinity dur
ing the winter of 10000. Lambs
weighing t~hirty-fve or forty pounds
are brought from the ranges Of New
Mexico and fed from about the LIST of
October until sold, which may be any
where from February to June. The
yearlings will then weigh from seventy
to ninety pounds.

The results further emphasize the
superior and economic value of alfalfa
hay. Corn or Kafir corn slower does
not contain the nutrients required by

POINTS ON FEEDING

The best feed we have ever used for
calves, considering the money value, is
bright, sweet corr fodder stored in the
early fall under shelter, says a Ken
lucky farmer in American Agriculturist.
Twenty calves have been wintered
almost exclusively on such roughness,
with only enough good mixed hay to
keep up their %appetites. They con
sumed about 80 shocks, worth 1914
cents each. and one ton OF hay, esti-
mated at So, making a total of $30.75
worth of feed. This is equivalent to
$3.50 per head for the entire winter.
which ! consider very cheap,
Blood Meal.
Dried blood or blood meal is insolu-
BILE in water. 1t usually contains about
So per cent of protein and is therefore
a valuable feed to use with corn or any
other feed hat is low in protein. Be
ing a concentrated feed, it must be
given in small quantities and mixed
with slop. meal or other feed. To
young pigs a teaspoonful per head dali
ly may be fed. and this may be in
creased as the pigs grow older until a
pound per day for eight to ten head Is
given. About a tablespoonful per day
is fed to horses, and the amount for
cattle varies from FIVE or six ounces
per day for young stock or steers just
going OF feed up to one pound per day
and sometimes as high Is two pounds
for steers on full feed or cows In full
milk.-Rural New Yorker.
Cottonseed Meal and HulIs.
In feeding steers for the market l
should begin with about three pounds
Of meal per day, mixed with about If
teen pounds Of bulls. Gradually In
crease until a maximum Of about ten
pounds per day ia reached, mixed with
twenty-five pounds Of hulls, says a
Texas feeder In Farm and Ranch. On
an average eight pounds per day Is suf-
fcient. mixed with about twenty-five
pounds Of hubs, making a total of thir-
ty pounds per day to each steer.
A Texas Fatteninx Ration.
The following weights are taken from
the work Of the Texas experiment sta
ton in 1898, says Farm and Ranch:
On cottonseed meal and bulls alone
good two-year-old steers gain in 100
days feeding 271 pounds per 1000
pounds of steers. Fed 140 days these
steers gain 357 pounds per 1000 pounds
live weight, but during the last 40 days
they are fed lightly on corn chops. A
little sorghum hay improves the ra-
ton.

er years. :
Newer before In the history Of the
Chicago yards has there been sach a
pressing demand for feeding sheep and
lambs. Every day 10 the sheep pens
are full Of strangers who are looking
for bargains, and every bic
bunch 10 caught up at high prices com
pared with other years. The outlook
for wool and mutton was never bright

lief is that sheep and lamb feeders viii

The Wool shrtnkage.
The shrinkage Of supplies is the
only explanation OF the continued rise
In wool values In the face of indiffer.
ent trade" according to an English pa
per. This authority says: Everywhere
the number OF sheep has been declin-
ing. In the United Kingdom there has
been a considerable decline In u
Jocks, and home grown woods have In
many cases about doubled In value
during the last two years. On the con-
tinent OF Europe the falling of has
been much more marked, for in the
German empire alone the number Of
sheep during the last thirty years has
fallen from 25,0O0,0O0 to 10,O00.OO0.
Now statistics are coming to hand
which show that in the United States
and Canada also the same process is
going on. But Of course the chief fac
tor in the present position has been
the terrible havoc caused among iocks
by the late seven consecutive years of
drought In Australia. Out of 100000
600 sheep more than half succumbed,
and shipments of wool fell away from
about 100000 bales, at which they
stood in 1894. to about 100000 bales
during the wool year which ended June
80 last.

the cattle would eat up clean without
securing. 1t was found that with al
falfa il was possible for the steers 10
eat % much hay and become loose.
The grain ration was begun with fous
pounds per 1900 pounds live weight.
The grain was increased very grad
ually. the steers getting on full feed
IN Eve weeks.
The cattle arrived in Kansas City OF
June Is for slaughter. The packers
found the carcasses of the ensilage lot
(two-year-olds) of good quality. They
were covered with the right amount of
fat. tie loins were excellent. and the
carcasses showed very little waste and
were salable in any market.
The carcasses of the Kaftir corn lot
looked like grass cattle. They were
fairly well feshed. but not well cover
ed with fat. They were considered
only an ordinary bunch of cattle.
The best animal as to quality is not
always the best gamer. With one ex-
ception the highest market price was
placed by Armour & Co. on the choice
animals. In this test the profit for the
feeder is, with n exception, consid
erably more for the best gamer than
for the choice animal. 1t should be
noted, however, that the best gamers
were also of excellent quality and
stood close to the choice animals In re
spect to merit.
The lot of calves and the lot of three
year-olds were fed cut alfalfa, corn
chop, Kaffir corn chop and cottonseed
meal.
Contrasting two lots of two-year-old
steers. one lot fed with ensilage in adj
dition to alfalfa hay for roughness and
the other without, it was noticed that
for every 100 pounds of gain All
pounds of ensilage saved Is pounds OF
grain and 1876 pounds of alfalfa, a saw
Ing of 52.62 cents; also the ensilage
steers sold for % cents a hundred
weight more than the others. This
makes the All pounds of ensilage
worth 17.62 cents, or at the rate of
1929 per ton. Average farm land with
an average season will produce from
twelve to fifteen tons of green corn per
acre. Rich bottom land under favora-
bic conditions will produce from TWEEN
ty to twenty-five o per acre. With
the modest yield Of ten tons per acre
there is an income, according to the
above experiment. of $3.50 per acre.
The financial statement shows that
the ensilage steers made a profit for
feed consumed of $4.10 per head, while
the same grade Of steers on the same
feed except ensilage lost STAT per
head.
The ensilage acted as a regulator of
the bowels. Ii was also an appetizer,
and for these reasons the steers fed en-
silage could be forced more than the
others. The best gains from the ensi-
lage occurred in the fore part Of the
feeding period.
The heaviest loss, $7.41 per head, was
with the t~wo-year-olds fed Kafir corn
slower for roughness.
The results show that by feeding
plenty Of heterogeneous roughness Qike
