SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Nancy TlIiS'
Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. s. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy: his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two OF
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. I stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodds
Kidney Pills. | gave him three Pills
day. one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end Of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone. but to
give the medicine justice, | gave him
eleven more pills. used thirty-hve
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
[ consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-fve Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

New French Gun.

A new rapid fire gun has recently
been invented by an ingenious Dane
by the name of Rexer. The gun has
been called for it's originator. The
Rexer is in reality sort of large mus

The movement of the Rexer is auto

frearm of it's kind, and the heads o
artillery look to it to dethrone guns

Black lanushans.

The Langshan breed is one of the
oldest in the world and has been evil
IDENTIFY kept pure for centuries. 1t
originated in north China centuries
ago. 1t is the smallest Of the Asiatic
breeds and is more active than any
of the others. Without doubt it is
one of the best laying breeds we
have, and probably exceeds in this re
spect any of the other breeds from
Asia. A good many poultry raisers
in the United States are so much IL
love with the Langshans that they
raise them entirely. The flesh OF the
Langshan is white, while the flesh o
the other Asiatic breeds is yellow
The flesh of the Langshan is excellen
for eating, being fine grained, tende
and nicely favored.

The Culls.

Most of our farmers never
.ull out their flocks and some
that do, Gull in the wrong direction.
When the time comes for selling of
the surplus stock the very best should
be kept for foundation Of the future
flock. Too often this future flock
must depend on the culls for its ex-
istence The butcher or the travelling
buyer will pay more for the we'll
formed well-developed fowls than he
will for the other kind, and the owner
instinctively feels that his poorest
birds will develop into good ones IN
time. Therefore he will sell off the
ones that bring the most money al
that time. The culls should go first
and the best birds of the flock should
not be let go of at any price.

THOUGHTS on Breeds.


Each breed of fowls has been bred
for a particular purpose, and man
in purchasing a breed should make
certain that he knows the purpose
for which the breed he wants is
adapted.
A breed of fowls that has been
carefully nurtured for generations is
less able to stand rough conditions
than the scrub fowls that have come
up under all kinds of adverse condi'
tons.
The old breeds were at first devel
oped no man knows how. The Medi
terranean breeds have the capacity
of laying good many eggs and OF
not sitting, but it is not known thai
these characteristics were bred into
them Intentionally.
The Langshan breed is one OF the
oldest in the world and was bred II
north China for centuries before be
ing brought to this country. How 1
attained it's form and color is no
known. 1t is probable that the China
man of that country liked a blacl
fowl, big fowl and one that woul'
lay many eggs in winter.
We have enough breeds now, blu
we are sure that many new ones vii
come in during the present genera
ton. Men will not be satisfied with
out experimenting, even though Their
be no particular object in their e.
mentation.-Estella Harper, Ca

Jim Denver knew who robbed john

knew the passing of the forged check
and the robbery were but links In the
chain binding three desperate men TO-
gether. However, no ordinary reader
would surmise that the following had
ANYTHING to do with the preceding:
"The Chicago, Rocky Mountain az
Wahoo railway sent out another spe-
| cial car of emigrants early this morn
ing, among them fourteen women ana
four men bound for the extreme
northwest"
But the four incidents narrated con-
cerned the same people. On this emil
grant train were the perpetrators OF
these crimes, as were also Jim Den
yer and several people OF whom we
have very little knowledge, but VINO
will enter our story at a later perlod
The particular car we have inter
est in, is occupied, as all emigran
trains are, by a motley assortment o
people. twenty nationalities represent

Young Chicks.

This is the time OF year
when many broods Of chicks are
coming out of the shells to claim the
attention of the farmer. The feeding
of chicks is a matter that cannot be
ignored. They cannot be fed at odd
times like the old hens nor will they
be satisfied with two or three feeds
day. They must have at least i've
feeds each day, and only a small guam
tity of food can be given at each
feeding. No food must be allowed
to sour, and much Of the food must be
given in form that will make the
chicks exercise to get it.

Overcrowdinu Chicks.

Overcrowding of chicks in brood
ers results in weakening the
chicks that remain alive after
number have been killed.
Some have said that it was a good
thing to kill off the weak ones in that
way. but we doubt it. 1t is not a rare
occurrence to have weak child or a
weak animal or bird develop into a
strong being at maturity. When we
overcrowd the chicks we give to
them conditions that are injurious to
life and health. 1t may be that the
setback will never be overcome by
good conditions afterward.

ScaIy Legs.

When the fowls have scaly
legs grease them, and If the
greasing is thoroughly done the in
sects that are causing the scales to
rise will be killed. All insects are
killed by grease, which stops up the
pores by which they breathe. II the
cold lard does not get into the remote
parts under the scales heat the lard
and dip the legs of the fowls into it.
This is a treatment that does not hurt
the fowl, but is death to the insect

IN Eco Record.

At the Cornell station last
year $50 hens laid an aver.
age of 1897 eggs. The cost of feed.
ing a hen a year was put at 1915
cents. The average cost per dozen
of eggs for the year was 80 cents
The returns for each hen over the
cost of food was s1.31. That is a
pretty good record considering the
large number of hens being kept, as
1t is doubtless true that some OF thu
hens laid very few eggs.
