TWITCHlNC NERVES
a Serious Hereditary Trouble Curse
1y D.. Williams Pink Pills.

a Serious Hereditary Trouble cuso6
6y Dr.. Wllltams' link Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af.
aicted in regular succession one genera.
ton after another of their family are, a.
rule, inclined to submit to them AZ in
evitab}e. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach Of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of No. 40e
East Seventh street. Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years I suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years &C.
cepted as unavoidable because heredi.
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly he some good i'll them for
me. My trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. I often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After tax.
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
I evidently stopped a little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since
stopped using them the second time
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness. indiges.

City ard Country Hens.

1t would probably be Interesting
both to the farmer and the city man,
to compare results as to the produc.
ZION OF eggs in winter. It is difficult
to make a comparison of the same
sized f1ocks, as the city focks are gen.
orally very much the smaller, but fig
urlng on a percentage basis l believe
the city man wins, and personally
thlnk this is entirely due to the kind
OF feed which his hens get. One of
my city friends has six Black Minorca
hens and during the first part of jan
uary was getting two and three eggs
a day. From a flock of about 125
Barred Plymouth Rock hens on farm
80 miles from Chicago they were get
ting at the same time nine and ten
eggs day, and these hens were well
taken care of, too, with good warm
henhouse and a large scratching shed.
l also know of flock of about $50
hens, White Wyandottes, Barred Rocks
and a mixed lot, where, during Janu-
airy and February last year. they did
not get sufficient eggs to use in cook.
ing and baking. l also know of city
flock of ten hens where during the
same time they were getting six and
eight eggs day. and the feed that
was bought for this latter flock did not
amount to over 5 cents a week. They
were fed principally on table scraps,
and from my observation l think it is
this feed that makes the eggs in win.
ter. am not prepared to say just
what there is to this feed that makes
the eggs, but if the farmer could
strike the same combination he would
make small fortune off his eggs in
winter, as at 40 cents dozen (Which
one of my neighbors is paying for
strictly fresh eggs) the farmer ought
to realize about 81 day for eggs
from a flock of 1875 or 1870 hens. It
would pay him to spend some money
for the right kind of feed.-Aaron
Kline, in Farmers Review.

Determining Sex.

Many attempts have been made to
determine the sex before birth, but as
yet nothing definite has been accom-
plished. However, l have made some
observations that l wish to record
here The weaker part is the most
certain to reproduce. For three sub
sequent years we had a one-year-old
Dull at the head of the herd, and,
much to our dislike, the old COWS, and
some of the large heifers, had male
offspring, while few young heifers
that were less in size and weight than
the bull by which they We're served
had female offspring. When we dur
ing two years used an old bull for serv-
ice the order was reversed, some of
the largest and best COWS sladdened
our hearts (for we wanted to rear
calves from best stock only with fe-
male offspring.
Some may smile at the foregoing.
SO l will say that my observations
have been verified by experiments and
observations made in Europe; further
more. there are no rules without ex-
ceptions.
In Germany it has been found that
the ofterer stallion had served in
one day, the larger was the percent
age of male offspring The stallion
became. physically weaker after hav-
ing served several times, consequently
reproduced his like. BY careful obser-
yations the Prussian government ex-
perimenters have found that if a stall
lion served one mare day the result
was GIG males to every 100 females; if
he served two mares a day, 1923
males to 100 females; when serving
three it was 112.43 to 100.
Others may have noticed that on
farms where only one or two males
are kept for flock of fifty to 100 hens
males will predominant in the brood
OF chicks. Why? Because the males
by serving so many hens We're physi-
cally weaker, and thus reproduced
their like. On the other hand, when
one male is kept for every ten or
dozen hens, the result will be more
females than males.

D-ass the Corn After PLANTING.

In the preparation for my seed crop
pay most attention to the selecting
OF the seed and use the seed grown by
myself We begin to prepare the corn
land just as soon as possible after
the oats are sown All of my land is
a clay loan, but think that sandy
land is a little earlier as a rule. as
the water dries out quicker from it
and it can be worked without getting
lu,npy. My method for putting in the
corn crop is to thoroughly prepare the
ground. In my operation vary &C.
cording to the seasons, but l try to
have the soil as fine as dust If posi-
BILE. We plant in checks three feet six
inches each way and put in the corn
11s to 2 inches deep when the corn is
moist and 21s to 3 inches deep when
the corn is dry. We drag the corn
once or twice as soon as it is planted.

NlIS(EI;I;AN
: Potato Raising.

In Whiteside county a good many
potatoes are raised, the area on each
farm devoted to potatoes being from
one to % acres. For early potatoes we
do our planting about the first to the
tenth of April. For late potatoes we
do our planting from the 25th of April
to the 10th of May. We generally cut
our potatoes SO that each piece will
have two eyes. The seeding is done
with planter and is in drills. do
not know of any being planted in hills
here, have tried using whole pota,
toes for seed, but the result seems to
DC that there are too many tops and
the tubers grown are too small.

We plant with planter, which leaves

should be narrowed at least three
times before they come up, and l usu.

Then they can be plowed with an or.

Care Of Colts.

I would say about raising
colts. not in, winter alone. but
from the start, that after the colt Is
six or nine days old we can put his
mother to work moderately hard, but
never should let the baby follow to
the field nor anywhere for that mat
ter except in the pasture and the barn.
At four to five months, old wean him.
II You intend to wean at four months
tie him up once in while at three
months old. Give him a good halter
and make sure your rope is all right
as now is your time to make horse
OF him that will stay tied. Keep tied
during the day and turn him loose
at night to run with the dam in the
barn Or. out on the grass. At four
months you can cut him entirely from
the mare or continue for another
month and he won't feel it and neither
will the mare. followed that plan
last fall. We weaned at four months
to save the mare. The colt weighed
400 pounds. At five months old he
had touch of distemper that lasted
nearly a month with quite a loss of
flesh. At seven months the colt
weighed 700 pounds. We followed the
same method all along. Tied during
the day, turned loose at night, with
plenty of hay and grass, some oats and
a little corn. Can anyone beat that
gain. half trying? Most farmers make
mistake in letting the colt follow
the dam to work. Then they get hot
milk at all times and become wormy,
constipated and all out of order in
babyhood and at weaving time they
are cut off short at once. "Time is
money" some think, "and we cannot
monkey with you. You do not look
good anyway" The best grooming
on ear will not fetch such a. colt out
under three or four years. The facts
about wintering colts are that IL a
man has, as he ought to, lot of straw
for bedding, counting the manure he
hauls out from under his colts into
his cornfield against what oats and
hay he has fed, he will be more than
paid the first year for labor, hay and
oats and still have good colts to run
around his COWS in the summer or to
chew mp his brush land.-George
Glynn, Buena Vista Co., Iowa.

The relation of the nerves and gem

that nine-tenths of the nervous pros

/. PRETTY / {. WEDDING
:. e. FLAHERTY AND MISS ELLA
FORTUNE MARRIED LAST
.a NIGHT. 49,. -

/ A very pretty church wedding was
that OF Mr.. Timothy e. Flaherty and
Miss. Ella Fortune, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Fortune, celebrated
at the Catholic church at eight o'clock
last night Notwithstanding the in
clement weather a large number of
friends assembled at the church to
witness the ceremonies, which were
after the full ritual of the catholic
church and celebrated by Rev. Father
Clemens. AT eight o'clock promptly
the wedding party entered the church
and passed up the aisle. The way
was led by the ushers, Messrs. Hallor-
an, Hentjen and Graham, followed by
the bridesmaids. Misses Minnie Lar
son and Katharine Boyle, and the
maid of honor, Miss Miriam Bentley.
The bride was escorted by her brother.
She was gowned in white silk net over
taffeta, with long bridal veil. At
the altar the groom met the bride and
the wedding ceremony was solemnized
by Father Clemens. The wedding
party made a very pretty picture, be-
fore the brilliantly lighted altar and
the ceremony was beautiful and i'm
pressive. Appropriate music was
rendered during the ceremonies, the
wedding march from Lohengrin being
rendered during the bridal procession.
After the ceremonies, the bride and
groom repaired to the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Fortune where a wedding
reception was held and a large number
of invited guests attended. Mr.. and
Mrs. Flaherty took the morning train
for a wedding trip to Iowa, where the
parents of the groom reside.
Good wishes go from many friends
to the newly married couple. The
bride is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Fortune, old and highly
respected residents of the city, and
she is a young lady of many charming
qualities and in every way worthy of
so estimable young man as Mr.
Flaherty. They will be at home in
the city after their return from the
wedding trip.

ECONOMICAL BOARD
PRESENT BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS HAVE GREAT y
+ LY REDUCED SALARY tx AZ
PENSE. .t-
COUNTY BUSINESS Is HEAVIER
THAN EVER BEFORE YET Isl
DONE QUICKER. -

An effort has been made to make it
appear that the present board of coun-
ty commissioners :, had been an ex.
travagant one and the members of it
were getting all possible out of their
jobs. In order to ascertain the exact
truth of the situation the amounts
paid the commissioners in the past
ten years was looked up from the
records in the Office of the county
auditor, it being understood that the
charge of extravaganza in the matter
of salaries is laid more particularly to
the door of Commissioner Grambs OF
the First district, who took Office in
1904.
The following figures speak fol-
themselves and it will quickly be seen
that Mr.. Grambs has received less
than any of the commissioners, and
also, which is of the most importance
to the taxpayers, it will be noted that
the expense for commissioners
salaries has been several hundred dol
lars less per year since the present
board took Office than it ever was be
fore.
The only time the salary expense
anyways near approached that of any
year of the last three was in 1899 and
1900, when Commissioner Harris was
sick and unable to attend the meet
lngs, and even then the expense was
larger than under the present man
agement.
It must also be borne in mind that
in the past three years the northeast
ern part of the county has been
largely settled up and the needs ~o1
that section are numerous, practically
nothing having been done for it previ
ously. To reach that part of the
county means drive of so miles and
the consumption of much time. II
will be readily seen that the present
commissioners have more work to at
tend to than their predecessors.
The present board meets and gets
through with it's business in from one
to two days, generally in one day. The
present board is composed of business
men who are accustomed to doins
things in a business way, and, aside
from those who seek to displace
Messrs. Grambs and Ecklund in order
to get control Of the county and make
a political machine of the board OF
commissioners, there has been nc
complaint as to the management.
Figures do not lie If economy is a
virtue, if reduction of the county debt
and the annual salary expense of the
county is commendable, the present
board Of county commissioners is en-
titled to credit and Messrs. Grambs
and Ecklund to reelection.
