FACTS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

New ideas in the care and feeding of
farm animals have brought to pass some
radical changes in farm methods. AS
an instance, take what may be called
the tonic idea" 1t teaches the neces-
sary use of a proper digestive and cor
receive preparation during the time an
animal is being fitted for market. This
idea points the way to a vastly more
prosperous area in cattle raising as a
branch of farm operations. 1t means
increased profits and a business estab-
lished on a permanent basis.
The tonic idea" is a simple, common
sense proposition that the feeder of
live stock will appreciate once it is
brought to his attention. Every feeder
knows that at some point in the fatting
process there may come to the animal
a more or less serious digestive break
down caused by long-continued heavy
feeding. No need to say that the dis
aster is to be avoided if satisfactory
results are to be reacher or margin
of profit realized
The purpose of the food tonic then,
is to correct and prevent just this con-
dition, and as the "ounce of prevention
is worth the pound of cure" 1T follows
that no feeder can afford to. wait until
the mischief is done, but should keep
the digestive apparatus Of his fatting
cattle in a healthy condition from the
start by the use of the tonic.
Experiments carried on prove that a
flood tonic containing the bitter prin-
ciples which aid digestion, iron for the
blood and nitrates which cleanse the
system, is especially beneficial in pre-
conditions. By acting directly upon the
digestive organs, it enables a fatting
steer to consume, day after day, large
amounts of grain, and of course lay on
flesh rapidly.
To the cow in milk the result is the

STATE DAIRYMEN TO MEET.

The Washington State Dairymen's
association will hold its fourteenth an
nual convention at Stanwood, Snoho-
mish county, December 10 to 81, 1907.
The program for the convention is
being prepared and will be published
in short time.
A rare treat is promised all dairy
men who attend, for it is seldom that
the association is favored as it will
be this year. Prof w. J. Spillman,
agriculturalist of the United States
department of agriculture, has prom
ised to be present at the convention,
and will take part in the program.
Prof. Spillman was formerly professor
of agriculture of the Washington State
College at Pullman, and is we'll known
to the older members of the associa-
ton, who will be glad to see him again
at our annual convention.
Mr.. J. e. Wing one of the foremost
institute lecturers of the United
States, will also be present at the
convention and his addresses will be
of much value to all who are able to
hear him. Mr.. Wing has recently re-
turned from Europe and will undoubt-
eddy be able to tell us much of inter-
est regarding the conditions existing
in the sections where he travelled.
Many local men will also be on the
program with papers and addresses
that no up to date dairyman can afford
to miss, and we will guarantee that
every dairyman who attends this con-
vention will get his moneys worth.
The railroads will undoubtedly make
the usual convention rate, which is
one and one-third fare for the round
trip. 1t will be necessary, however,
for every dairyman to the convention
to take receipt from his local agent
at the time of paying his fare going,
in order to secure the reduced return
rate. For further information regard
ing the convention, those who are
interested should write to Secretary
Ira P Whitney, at Pullman, Wash.

of three million acres and selected those
sections and quarter sections which are
the best value.
The country is thicl<ly settled. Almost
every alternate section is occupied by
bona fide homesteaders. There is a per-
feet network of railroads, and branch
lines are being built in every direction
The price of this land varies from $40
to SIS per acre, depending on nearness
to railroads. Land within miles Of
railroad sells for SIS per acre; to 10
miles from the railroad, $12 per acre;
over 10 miles from railroad, $40 per
acre.
This land produces an average of $25
worth of wheat per acre. AT this rate
one crop will easily pay for the land.

the United States are going to Canada

The Real Obstacle at Panama.

The white man at Panama must
avoid that which he cannot endure.
We have proved that he cannot allow
mosquitoes to bite him, and now il
must be acknowledged that he can
not allow the sunlight to strike his
unprotected body.
We eliminated the mosquitoes, but
we cannot eliminate the sun. The
soldier who deliberately and unnec-
essarily exposes himself to bullets
when he could take cover is not only
a fool, but he is not a true soldier.
His fatal recklessness only weakens
the army.
The engineer who can work all day
in the open in Michigan on New York
should not do il In Panama, writes an
army surgeon, Maj. Charles E. Wood
ruff, in Harper's. and if he attempts
it he is injuring the work instead of
helping it along.

And so on as before. Birds. too, are
awful greedy things. They don't do

The Slow Gordon Setter.

Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite a favorite and much In use by
sportsmen of this country. In later
years, however, this really good dog
was displaced in greater part by the
pointer and English setter.
The Gordon, says Ed. F. Haberlein
in Dogdom, is the largest and heav.
lest Of all bird dogs, more clumsy and
usually slow. Where most hunting is
done in woodland and thickets and a
slow working dog is needed so as not
to get lost" almost continually he
fills the bin well-works close to the
gun, has good nose, is steady on point,
and, II properly trained, a very good
retriever from land and water.
The GQXdon is easily trained and re-
tains his training well, is also of good
pleasant disposition and admirable
companion. At this age, however,
when so very much stress is laid on
speed and wide range, the Gordon is
not I'm It" because he is a slow
pottering dog as a rule.

When she left her home in the

take up a special course of study.
her pet sister was fast reaching the
crisis of a love affair, says the Trib-
une. The pet sister was most win

a goUdly train of suitors assigning.
Was this affair to be the grand af-
fair? The older sister hoped so, for
she liked the young man cordially
thought be was just the sort to
make a proper brotherin-law.
But the weeks passed and not a
bit of definite news about the prog
ress of the affair did the Older sister
receive in her city boarding house.
She became anxious. Louise, she
thought, must not go on rerklessly
trifiing in such important matters.
Then one night about ten O'Clock
just as she was going to bed, came
a telegram. The servant brought 1t
up. The older sister was country
girl enough To be thoroughly fright
ened by the pale manila. blarkinked
envelope. How ominous It looked.
At length she gathered courage to
open it. This is what she read

There was great scurrying about

cry arose: who's got a Bible?"
Just think of the sister trying to
sleep that night without knowing
what that verse was, II would have
been just like a woman to lie down
TO pleasant dreams. Content to know
that she could satisfy her curiosity in
the morning-not,
The landlady, good soul, came TO
the rescue. She was no heather.
She had a Bible. Up to her room
with it flew the sister, and shut the
door. Such a turning of pages by
eager, nervous fingers, Solomon six
