JERSEY BULL HECTOR MARIaoLD.

seven days and is the sire of sixty other
very promising heifers and heifer
calves.
His present weight Is LAO pounds,
and in this respect as well as in dairy
potency he is good representation of
the recent and present trend among
American Jersey breeders for greater
size.
His breeding also tends to confirm
the theory that the male inherits from
the dam and the female from the sire.
Thus Hector Marigold inherits his abil-
ity as a dairy sire from his grandam,
the famous Melia Ann, through her
equally famous son, Melia AIMS Son,
and his great-grandam, Ida Marigold,
through her son, Stoke Pogis of Pros
pect, and his daughter, Grace Marigold,
whose record is 20 pounds / ounce OF
butter In seven days when two years
and three months old.-Hoard's Dairy

Poisoning the BON weeviI.

3. w. Marston of the Louisiana crop
pest commission predicts that in five
years the cotton boil weevil will be
universally poisoned wherever it is In
April and May, just as the potato bug
is being universally poisoned. Mr..
Marston bases his prediction on expert
ments carried on at Keachie, La, last
year. lie contends that it has been
concluslvely proven that the hibernated
weevil can be killed in April and May
with paris green, and, he adds, in
Farm and Ranch:
1.-The Keachie demonstration proves
that had every weevil in Texas and
Louisiana been poisoned upon its first
appearance ii would have solved the
boil weevil proposition. But it is said
that the boil weevil continues hibernat-
ing into the hot, scorching month of
June CD. All the weevils put up this
last year died in December. We can
risk those June hibernated CD weevils."

Alfalfa In Ohio.

In discussion of alfalfa growing at

institute Mr.. Wing advised to get good
clean seed. 1t should be a bright green

Be sure it contains no weed seed, espe-
cially dodder.
Mr.. Rankin of Fayette county doubt
ed that alfalfa would grow on any and
every soil. He had succeeded with it
in some instances, in others failed.
Mr. Wing stated that special soil
preparation was necessary to insure
good root development and acknowl-
edged that a crop was not always as
sured.

SHEEP FEEDING.
4 Great Business as IL Is Carried ON
Around Chicago.

Sheep feeding has become one of the
most extensive live stock businesses in
the near Chicago counties. Some OF
the plants have capacity OF $4,000 Il
year. There are pastures for sheep
that include not less than 5000 acres,
some of IL the finest land in the state.
All of these plants have their own
grain elevators, machinery for chop
ping feed dipping pools and shearing
plants operated by electric power. One
of the feeding places has a reservoir
that holds 100000 gallons of water.
AS may be conjectured, these hungry
sheep consume an immense amount of
feed, and it comes from the adjacent
farms of Illinois, thus affordlng the
farmers paying market for their
products. Some Of the farmers let
their pasture lands at SO much n head
per month
These plants make it easy for dro-
YER to handle bunch of sheep for the
market. In great many instances he
doesn't pay cent for the feeding until
they are sold. When they are reloaded
on the cars and shipped to the stock
yards the charges are placed on the
manifest, and the amount Is collected
from the sales at the yards. In in
stances the stock is shipped across the
Atlantic, the drover paying nothing out
until lie reaches Liverpool, where the
sale + made, and the cost of weeks OF
fattening at the pens near Chicago is
sent back from the Brltish market
sheep Costly In Far West.
A sheep buyer who brought in stock
from Montana says that sheep are val
ued high in the far west. 1t was diff.
cult for him to buy as many as he
brought. He says that the reason for
this is that there is now good market
for wool and cheap pastures on the
foothills and high lands of the Rocky
region are to be had. Even far to the
east the range is cheap, and practically
the only cost is the employment of
herders. The shipper in this instance
paid as high as $3.50 for lambs, while
ewes brought as high as 81. The west
ern herders are holding their flocks for
the wool they produce.-J. L. Graft in
Country Gentleman.

Are Patent
Medicines Frauds?

We are often asked the above

that gives satisfactory results
could be fraudulent. We could
not afford to sell fraudulent medi-
cines. Our business depends on

1t must be remembered that Ca
tarrh is not confined to the nose
and throat. 1t usually starts
there, but it leads more often to
serious trouble, particularly the
wasting Of tissues, as in the case
OF little Miss Dillon, Of Albany.
Here is letter from her father:
My little girl had catarrh so
badly that the disease had begun

CRUSHED BY LOGS.

While engaged with a crew in unload
ing logs from cars at the Jacob Morten-
son Lbr. Co. s mill last Tuesday after
noon, Chas. Hintze, resident of the
west side, received injuries which a few
hours afterward caused death. The car
had been pushed in on the company's
switch near the dumping ground and
Hintze was endeavoring to stop it at a
point it was intended the logs should
be dumped, using slabs as distractions
for the wheels. The binding chains had
been ioosened, but iron stays at each
side of the car held the logs. The car
struck another loaded car and the car
caused the stays TO drop down and the
logs began to roll off. The man was
caught and badly crushed between the
hips and shoulders. He was removed
to his home, but at an early hour
Wednesday morning his life passed
away.
Mr.. Hintze was thirty eight years of
age and was formerly farmer, resid-
ing in the town of Easton, and moved to
Wausau about a year ago. He is sur
vived by his wife and three children.
The funeral was held Friday from his
old home in the town of Easton.

Edgar ard other points in the county
between here and Marshfeld, by the
Macarthur Co, of Montreal, Can. This
company has had representatives in
this county for the past several years
cutting this class of timber, Pur-
chasers are sent out from the home
Office and they buy all the straight,
sound rock elm trees they can secure,
which are of sufficient length for ship
building purposes. Men who are ex-
perts in handling the broad ak, follow
them, cut down the trees and hew
them into square timbers. The land
owners are paid good prices for the
timber and it is said the company gets
over S100 per thousand for the timber,
laid down in England.

measured eight inches in circumference
the short way and nine and a half inch
es the long way. This was shown
around as a specimen of what well
bred, Marathon county fowl can do
when she tried. The other day, the
same hen laid another large egg, and
Mrs. Witter broke it and found that il
contained perfectly formed egg, with
shell, on the inside, and still another
inside of that one, though this one did
not have hard shell. This, certainly,
ought to induce chicken fanciers to
come to this county.

BAKING POWDER AGAIN.
Alum Goods That Masquerade as
'High-Class" Powders.
Retailers' journal, Chicago.j

(Retailers Journal, Chicago.j
In previous analyses we have shown
that the 25 cent alum baking powders
are an imposition, both on the con-
sumer and the retailer, as the differ
ence in cost of manufacture of 10 cent
alum baking powder and 25 cent one
is not more than one cent pound.
There is the Calumet baking powder,
an alum powder with about one cents
worth of phosphate added to it, and
which retails for % cents. 1t is not
worth more than 10 or II cents, which
we show by analysis. In order to sell
this powder all they are now preparing
a premium scheme and are going to
give away hairpins and other cheap
trash that may be attractive to the eye
and cover up their transactions. They
can well afford to give Is cents worth
of goods with every pound of baking
powder they SELL
If alum baking powder is used at all,
10 cents is reasonable price, as alum
costs only two cents pound, which
leaves the manufacturer a fair profit
While we know that cream of tartar
baking powders are sold at higher
prices than others, we also know that
chemically pure cream of tartar used in
the highest-grade powder, costs at least
twelve times more than alum.
