Mineral Wealth Of illinois.

Illinois has neither silver nor gold.
yet in the year 1905 the actual value
of Illinois mineral products was far
greater than that of either California
or Colorado. This discovery has been
made by the United States geological
survey. which has just compiled its
statistics for the year 1905.
The figures collected show that the
Illinois output was double that of
California's in value While Illinois
has neither of the precious metals
above mentioned. it produces vast
quantities of cement, clay, coal, pig
iron, stone, lead and zinc, which are
worth much silver and gold in the
worlds markets. Tie sum total of the
output of Illinois was sos, 065,5G7, of
California $43,406,a5S and OF Colorado
5O,280,944.

A SHEEP FEEDING RACK

Sheep are peculiarly sensitive and
will quickly object to feed that has be.

with their feet or droppings. This, of
course, may be governed somewhat
by their degree Of hunger, but no
sheep will fatten on feed which it con-
sumes reluctantly. The too common
practice Of many sheepmen, and es-
pecially range men, of feeding their
focks on the ground is to be con-

Novelties In Jewelry That Appeal to
English Women.
There are some gems of which wom-
en- never grow tired or never can

the pearl rank among the first favor
ties. The latter, however, is the most
sought after. and the craze for strings
of perfect pearls is ever on the in
crease.
.el!ow and black pearls are also
much appreciated. So much has this
craze taken hold of the fashionable
woman that the jewelers. have pre-
pared most tasteful little Jewel caskets
to hold one, two or three of these
gems, with birthday wishes complete,
says the London Tribune.

in graduated sizes for the front Of
blouses instead of buttons.
Purses in platinum, gold and silver
follow the modes of checks and stripes,

LOCATING THE
FARM BUILDINGS

It sometimes is a difficult problem
to arrange the location of all the barn
buildings so that they will be conven-
lent for doing chores the whole year
round. And the greatest trouble is OH
most farms, that one or more of the
older buildings are in the way of work.
ing out the best plan.
Nearly all dairymen have grown into
the business and had very little ready
money to build a fine and commodious
dairy barn at the outset. Some old
barn or stable was remodeled tempo
rarily and sometimes used much long
er than expected. Then, when the
large, new basement barn was con-
structed, it was put one side so as not
to disturb the old buildings. This is
frequently a mistake. In these days
it does not cost SO very much to move
any old building, no matter how large
or uneven the ground, And when the
new barn is built it should be located
in the best and most available posi-
ton, and any old structure moved, if
in the way. Almost every section of
the country has building mover, and
with heavy jacks, roller and horse
power windlass it makes an old barn
get going in short order.
In order to have basement it is
not necessary to select side hill or
slope. Some Of the best barns in the
country are on perfectly level ground
And the best Easements were timber
or plank frames, though a stone wall
is all right for the back side, if plenty
Of windows can be provided.
If the stills under the old barn are
rotten in various places, then jack the
building up high enough to insert new
stills underneath. Spike heavy plank

Treatment for Dry Murrain.-Dry
murrain is form of indigestion and
is attributable to several causes, such
as dry feeding, dry grass in summer,
overdriving, redwater, etc. We find
this to occur often twice a year, in
spring and fall: The following is rec
commended: One pound epson salts,
one-half pound common salt, one
ounce ginger. one ounce jalap, one
pound mOlasses. In case of redwater
the following is good remedy: Give
one dram Of carbolic acid and one
ounce Of linseed oil.

Before moving, go over the whole
frame and see if the pins are holding

any are weak, then nail short pieces of

surprising how much stronger the

FEEDING FOR EGGS.

Cooked food for the morning
meal is excellent, if composed of
the proper ingredients and fed reg
ularly. A good mixture may be
made of equal parts of corn-meal,
fine middlings, bran, ground oats
and ground meat. This should be
stirred into a pot of cooked Vege-
tables while boiling hot until the
mass is as stiff as can be manipu-
lated by pair of strong arms.
The mixture should be seasoned
with salt and cayenne pepper. Pc
tatoes, beets, turnips, carrots, on
ions, or anything i'll the vegetable
line, clean and free from decay
will be acceptable. Cut clover hay
may be substituted for vegetables
for an occasional meal. The above
contains variety of food elements
and such as ComposeS the egg and
the bone and muscle of the hen,
the fat-forming elements not being
prominent. For the noon meal
wheat is the best single grain. 1t
may be mixed with good heavy
oats and scattered in chaff or leaves
on the feeding floor. The night
feed should be a light one consist
ing of whole corn. Plenty of grit
should be accessible at all times.
Unless the morning feed can be
given very early we would advise
putting a little dry meal III hop
per for them to peck at until their
breakfast is ready.

keep any food before them long
enough to tire them and spoil their
appetite. Give them lots of grit.
Crack bones for them. If you can
afford to buy a good bonecutter so
much the better; and give them
some meat occasionally. Study
their habits, supply their wants,
get them to eat all they can digest,
and you will find the old hen sec
ond to no other animal in convert
ing feed into profitable and east
ly marketed product.
