In this weeks issue OF The Homestead
DR.. A. S. Alexander, Of the Wisconsin
Experiment Station, gives some good
advice on feeding the work horse. lie
points out that the average horse is
fed too much hay, and as q cons Quence
the animal is not able 10 do his work
easily and without appreciate loss Of
strength and vitality. The same is also
true of the COrn-stutTed horse. He
points out that although hay and corn
are the cheapest foods to be found on
the average farm, yet when it comes to
feeding the work horse it will pay to
use some oats and also little bran.
He advises reducing the corn ration
twO-thtrds and making up the balance
with oats and bran. This will make
the horse healthier and will enable
him to do his work with much more
snap. As this is the time Of the year
when the life of the farm morse is a
strenuous one, we are of the
opinion that all of our readers would
be benefited by a careful perusal OF DR..
Alexander'5 article. If your name IS
not already on the subscription list Of
The Homestead we believe that it would
be to your interest to call at this office
the next time you are in town and see
us about placing it there.

the state put on two witnesses WHO

How King Alfonso Amused Quee'
Alexandria


Several old fashions have been re-
vived at court. some of which had tall
en- into disuse since 1862. when the
late queen retired from social life,
SAYS the Onlooker.
One of these is that the mistress OF
the robes should accompany the queen
to her bedroom door at the conclusion
of state ball. This practice was re-
vived on the occasion of the state ball
which took place during the visit OF
the king of Spain. 1t happened that
the Spanish monarch's sleeping apart
ment was in the same corridor as
that of Queen Alexandra.
The queen arrived at the door OF
her room, attended by the Duchess of
Portland, and the young king, who
had come up stairs at the same time,
wished her majesty good night. Then
he suddenly said, 81 am an athlete;
would you like to see ME perform =
She said yes" upon which the
youthful sovereign turned a succession
of somersaults, all down the corridor.

tells of his coffee experiences:
"My wife and l used coffee regular
" for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find a place on our table.
"In the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
ut seemed to- come from coffee
drinking but we could not decide.
"In the following July, however,
she was attacked second time by
the vomiting. l was away from home
filling an appointment, at the time,
and on my return l found her very
low; she had literally vomited herself
almost to death, and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
81 had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and mad
relieved it, each time, by resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffe was at
the bottom of our troubles. and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee. The old symp-
toms of disease disappeared and dur
ing the 9 years that we have been
using Postum instead of coffee we
never have had a recurrence of the
vomiting. We never weary OF postum,
to which we know we owe our good
health. This is simple statement
