With Gratifying Results.
After Q fever, such as typhoid or scar.
let, has run its full course there remains
the recovery Of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced SUI
perior to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid feversfor fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with Disappointment.
81 took the Doctors tonics, T" she says,
"for two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me-
the good I looked for. Ny strength came
back SO slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
then I read in a book thrown in our
! yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders aud
strength-givers DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are. got 9 box Of them soon after

liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for anemia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls ON the verge
Of womanhood. They meet all the re.
quirements of the period known as the
change of life.. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton aud rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines SO many virtues.
All druggists sell them.

BUILDING IDEAL DAIRY BARN

MExIco's FRENCH cLARET
Composed Very Largely Of Extract
Of Logwood, an Excellent
Tonic.

The Russian peasant is an admirer
of bright colored clothes, and as con-
sequence for many years there has
been an excellent market for log wool
in Russia as a brilliant red dye is ex-
tracted from it, says Modern Mexico.
The market, however, for shis dye
wood has beensvery poor indeed during
the last eight or ten months, on &C.
count Of the war with Japan, which is
making the people SO poor that they
are unable to wear as many CT rs brill
liant clothes as formerly. The port
of Bordeaux is also good market for
log wood, where it helps to make
"first-class, pure claret.'' One of the
arguments of the temperance folks
against wine drinking is that most Of
the red wines are dyed and adulter-
ated with log wood. However, if any
thing, this is really an argument in
favor Of the wine. as the juice of log
wood is a very excellent tonic and in
the coast countries of Mexico log wood
chips STEPPED in water, which is then
made into a lemonade by the aid of
lemon juice and sugar, is one of the
standard tonic remedies for people
who are run down from malaria, and
besides being a tonic it is a very
pleasant drink. Probably from a
health point of view the French claret
would be better. if made entirely out OF
log wood. In France one Of the rem
edies used by physicians in cases OF
extreme debility is a bath in claret
wine. as in the same way in the hot
countries of Mexico baths in an infu-
sion of log wood are used.

6-foot feeding alley running between
them and the COW stalls. A hay chute
is located at the south end of this al
ley and stover chute at the north,
the same as in the COW feeding alley.
All grain must be carried across the
12-foot drive. Hay is thrown down
through q chute at the south end of
the feeding alley and corn stover at
the north end.
A silo 15x24 feet is placed so that We
can throw silage from it to a car that
is pushed down the alley, feeding silage
as we go. Another silo 10x24 feet may
also be built by the side OF this one.
These silos are south of the barn, SO
as to be protected from the cold north
winds.
The separator room, Sx1O feet, is sit
uated in the northeast corner of the
barn. Our location of the separator
room removes it as far as possible
from Objectionable odors, and yet still
has it in the barn. A we'll is dug be-
tween the separator room sana the

Water for cooling and washing pur-

weather when stock should not be out
of doors, cows may be watered there
also, although another source Of water
supply will be provided for them for

THE FEEDING QUESTION.
Terse eaxaGrsphs WITH Fssd for Fsvl
~ Thems-farm Papers
Experiment

Pea meal is nutritious.
Rice is easily digested.
Oatmeal has fully 5i2 per cent. Of
fat
Wheat is rich in solids. bu, poor in
water.
Barley is very nutritious. but rath-
er laxative.
For nutrition oatmeal exceeds wheat
or barley.
There are about seven to eight per
cent. of yellow fat in corn.
Green bone is not only cheap food,
but it is invaluable rs a food and
tonic.
Potato starch is very digestible. Po-
tatoes contain about % per cent. of
starch.
F. L. Cooper claims that linseed
meal is about the nearest perfect egg
food for hens.
Green bone contains meat, blood,
gristle, oil and mineral matter in solu-
BILE condition.
Properly fed fowls are regularly fed
ones. Always bear In mind that q
well-fed fowl is never overfed.
There are about the same virtues In
barley as wheat, or at least much of
the same. for poultry food.
DIR. Casey says carbon, nitrogen and
lime are required by poultry. All
three are found in green bone.
Kafiir corn should be more general.
ly fed than 1t is. It has about the
same nutritive value rs Indian corn
and is better as an egg food.
Col. E. o. Roesle says that what
hens require principally is a balanced
ration. and a regular. general feed. A
feast one day and a famine the next
will Upset the best flock of layers ever
gotten together. Once a flock can be
kept in prime condition on a certain
! feed formula, It is great folly tc
change.
Corn should not be entirely taken
from the bill of fare. But under nc
circumstances should it be exclusively
given or made the bulk of the diet, UNI
less in case of fattening for market.
F. L. Cooper gives this strong in
dorsement of linseed meal: Make use
of a liberal supply Of this wonderful
egg producer. muscle. grower. bone
maker flesh former, health promoter
and digester, and preventive Of
roup, indigestion and many other dis
orders of the fowl family.
L. e. Keyser says he finds buck
wheat one of the best whole grair
foods for hens. They never become
cloyed on it. and 1t is great egg
producing grain. In experiments made
in feeding during the past winter
where the evening feed had beer
wholly Of corn. he found that the sub
stitution Of buckwheat materially IN
creased the egg yield.
The Texas Farmer tried an expert
ment: OF two lots of chickens of thu
