INAY PRODUCE
SENSATION
LOCAL DRUGGIST HAS SECURED
PREPARATIONS OF [.
7. COOPER.

VIII Fafrmont be affected with the
same astonishing demand for the new
preparations extolled by L. 7. Coop
err as has visited st. Louis and the
leading cities Of the East?
The question Is brought forth by
the fact that local druggist has Sc
cured the agency for the much-talked'
Of preparations that are producing
such a Juror, and about which the
newspapers Of the United States have
devoted columns
In fact a discussion of Cooper
preparations and the unheard Of de,
mand for them wherever introduced
has appeared in a greater part Of all
the leading dailies of the country.
The recently published statement OF
the manager Of the WoIff.Wison
Drug Co., of St. Louis. which ap'
peared in the Post-Dlspatch and
Globe Democrat Of that city, would
seem to indicate that with no excep'
ton these preparations produced the
same results in all sections, regardless
Of what pressure is brought to hear
against the medicines,
His statement is as follows:
"This talk about st. Louis going
mad over Mr.. Cooper is absurd. If
his preparations did not do all that is
claimed for them there would be no
demand. Mr.. Cooper has nothing
whatever to do with it."
1.-THE idea that his personality has
something to do with the sale Of his
medicines, and that the people of this
city only imagine they have been ben-
Gifted, is to farfetched to be seti-
ously considered"
"one physician says the people have
a disease called 'Cooper-mania. This
may be clever, but It certainly is not
true"
Il have sold these preparations on
trial ever since Mr.. Cooper made my
store his headquarters. Any one can
receive whatever they pay for the
instantly if they are not
satisfied. If the people are infatuated
with Mr.. Cooper, as is claimed, and
therefore buy his medicines, why
don't they come and ask for their
money after they have taken them?
Out of the thousands of bottles We
have sold almost none have been re-
turned"
AS a matter Of fact, st. Louis is no
In the immense demand for
these preparations. Before Mr.. Cooper
came to this city, l received letters
from leading druggists throughout the
East telling me that wherever he goes
his preparations are sold almost 10
the exclusion Of all others"
Every city in this country where
these medicines have been introduced
has had the same experience at St.
Louis. This ought to be proof posi-.
tive that the people know what they
are about"
In the light of this statement It will
be Interesting to see how these prep.
aratlons are received in Fairmont.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS.
Interest In the Movement Spreading
to All Parts Of the Country.

The good roads problem is occupy
ing the attention of the people as II
never did before, and on every side
are heard discussions of ways and
means to provide better highways.
In Missouri Gov. Folk has suggested
that. the money obtained from dram.
shop licenses be used In building
roads, and the next legislature will
be asked to pass law to that effect.
In some states the revenue derived
from automobile licenses will be used
for building roads. The utilization OF
convict labor seems to be the simplest
and best method of improving the
roads quickly and at the least ex-
pense, and when this method is adopt
ed the roads will rapidly become bet.
ter.
In the southern states It Is a com
mon sight, says the Motor Way, to
see the convicts working on the
roads, and wherever this work Is be-
ing done the county or district Is
benefited and the improved road way
means higher value for the ada
cent farm land. Better highways will
bring the country resident closer to
the city and enable him to enjoy
many OF the privileges of city life
heretofore denied him,

Essentials of a Silo.

. The proper construction of the silo
is of the greatest Importance. If the
sides of the silo are not alright, too
much air is admitted and the silage
will spoil. II the walls are not per-
fectly rigid the pressure OF the silage
will cause them to spring out. thus al
lowing air to enter between the silage
and the wall, and. again, the result
is decayed silage, Before building a
silo the most careful attention should
be given to location, size, form. and
method of construction. These wiz
differ somewhat according to locality
and individual needs.-Farming.

SAVING FODDER.
Method and Time Have Much 70 %
with Quality Of the Corn Stalks.

IL frequently happens that farmers
put too low an estimate on welIcured
corn fodder. When corn il cheap and
rougnness scarce, which Is frequently
the case, II Is worth half as much for
feeding. especially to young stock. az
grain. For sheep. colts, calves and
milk cows ] consider 1t superior to
either clover OF timothy, but much OF
It's value depends on the condition in
which 1t is saved Like timothy. Il ia
almost universally left standing until
the blades become weather-beaten
and the strength and nutriment dried
out to such an extent that It is almost
worthless as feed. There Is a sea.
son for all kinds OF farm work, and
the proper time for securing corn fod.
der Is just before the milk leaves the
grain and while there is some sap,
left In the stalk and the blades are
green. II cut and properly cured in
this condition and fed literally to
horses, mules and cattle, they will al
ways be In healthy. growing condi-
ton. do not mean to say that grain,
clover and timothy should not be fed
at all, says the writer in the Journal
OF Agriculture, but ! do claim that IL
more bright, well-cured corn fodder
were saved and fed to our farm stock
there would be fewer cases of heaves
and coughing among our horses and
less dry murrain among our cattle.
In cutting of corn fodder, prefer
putting 1t in large shocks. IS hills
square, which amounts to about 2b6
hills to shock, but some OF our farm.
ers who have emigrated from the east
make them much smaller, putting
from Ga to 144 hills to a shock. and
only having more weather beaten fod-
der. which is almost worthless as
feed. To prevent the shocks from
twisting and falling they should be
securely bound near the top with
binder Irvine. All good farmers know
that after the shocks have stood a
couple of weeks and become settled,
the binding will become loose and
should be frightened. When the
weather is damp Il will pay to hire
hands or call In the neighbors, as in
olden times, and husk 1t out In short
order. mingling business with pleas
ure, for It is good TO be neighborly.
In husking, the fodder should be
made into bundles and tied with
twine In two or three places. IL
would be better II the teams could
follow the huskers and haul on the
roughness to the. barn or make rick
OF 1t. BY Christmas the crop, both
grain and fodder. should be well
housed. In feeding the fodder a good
roomy manger is indispensably peces-
sary. II saves much feed and pre-
vents the stock from tramping It..
The stalks should be thrown from tho
manager as often as necessary. and let
them be tramped and mixed with the
soil and the droppings of the stock.
This will make many loads OF rich
manure to renovate the farm.

Grass.

Grass is of great Importance on my
farm, and one-third of all my farming
operations depend upon grass. | raise
timothy, red top, clover and blue
grass. About Is per cent. of all my
grass il made into hay and IS per
cent. is used for pasturage. The grass
crop in this locality does not receive
the attention from farmers that 1t
should About the only kind recently
introduced into this neighborhood is
alsike clover. There are no Other new
kinds that have been successfully
grown, although alfalfa and orchard
grass have been introduced and are
used TO limited extent. think, says
this Randolph county correspondent of
Farmers Review, 1t would be an i'm
provement for farmers to keep more
stock and manure the land better and
to feed out so far as possible all the
feed produced on the farm
