WHEN GIRLS CROW PALE
 AND WEAK
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Are the Tonic That Will Restore Rich, Red Blood and
 Insure Healthful
 Development.

Girls between the ages of fourteen and seventeen arc often subject to a form of anaemia, or bloodlessness, tn at requires the serious attention of pa- rents if the subsequent health of their daughters is to be safeguarded.
 For some unknown reason it more often attacks blondes than brunettes. It Is supposed to be due to lack Of proper exercise and of fresh air. Im- proper selection of food may cause it or 1t may arise from emotional or ner- vous disturbances.
 Whatever the cause the disease it. self is a condition of the blood in which the vital fluid is unable to carry noiir- ishment to the different parts Of the body. The remedy is a tonic for the blood and. as it is to be given to young girls, it must be safe tonic, harfnless under any and all conditions. Such a tonic is Dr. Williams Pink Pills and so many cures have been accomplished by this remedy that no sufferer can afford to neglect it.
 Mrs. E. A. Woodward, of I74 Com- mercial Street, Rochester, N. Y., was cured by these pills and her statement should carry conviction. She says:
 When was eighteen years old, | suffered from anaemfa. My blood bs-' came thin and watery and grew pnte and so weak that couldn't walk across even a room without help. My heart pained me awfully whenever walked or lay down. It felt at tn osa times as though 1t would jump right out of my body and always had the same feeling when I arose In the morn- ing. I had no appetite and food did not taste good or agree with me, but made me sick to my stomach. often causing me to vomit. had a great deal of headache and became white as marble.
 T had two different doctors and was under their care for about year. Ona of them said had dropsy, while the other called it consumption. hut neither helped me.

 So general is the success of Dr. Wil-s Hams Pink Pills in curing anaemia that it may be safely stated that they are the most certain remedy for all conditions of thin, weak and watery blood. They are also 6 tonic for the nerves anu nave CuESu lnuA6GSbAOn @At4 general debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weak ened and disordered simply through lack of proper nourishment.

Massachusetts contemporary, The New England Standard, has been look ing into the subject of bad citizenship. and the following are some of its con- clusions:
 The Somerville Journal reckons that the worst citizen in any community is the one who goes to the polls to vote because he is paid to do so. and that the citizen who does not vote at all is only one degree better. Yet it has for gotten that there is at least ono citizen who is far worse than either--the citi- zen who pays his fellow citizen to go Next to him is the man who pays citi- zens to go to the polls and vote for the ticket. The citizen who is bought is bad and ,dangsrons but his iniaI,ity I,.i zen who buys. So far as quality of evil is concerned, the purchaser is life worse. He is a demoralizer on wide scale. He is tempter of many to do get hold of. The purchased is. of course. q mischievous element at the polls, but he Is only one. andsnot ordi- narily much of a factor in the corrupt ing of others. Again in quality, the pur- chaser is the worse. for the reason that in most cases he Is a man of greater resources and larger intelligence than the creatures whom he buys He
 
 purchasers know--and as his know ledge is the greater. so his responsibili- ty and wickedness are the greater. He Is unquestionably. the worst citizen in the community, whatever good qualities he may be able to display in other direc- tions. If caught and convicted, he ought not only to be severely punished by long Imprisonment. but he ought to be disfranchiscd and deprived. of the right to hold any office in the public service as long as he lives. Practical 1y and essentially, he is O traitor to his country and he ought to meet the traitors fate.
 Our Yankee brethren are pretty hard on the non-voter as we'll as. on the paid one. We do not admit that the citi- zen who fails to vote is as bad as the one who is bribed. for such an admis- sion would be a serious indictment against a pretty large per centage of our voting population, and we are not prepared to admit that they rank with the paid assistants of the briber. And yet 1t is different to admit that a man is really good citizen who ap- parently cares so little about who make and execute the laws that they will not put themselves to the trouble to go to the polls on election day. A corrupted suffrage is one of the great est evils that can befall a government and it could not exist if all good men would scrupulously exercise their right and their duty by voting at all elec- tions.

Reforming TarIn Reform.

BaItlIHOTe oUIl,
 Tariff reform has been one of the chief issues of the Democratic party, but there seems to be a tendency in some parts of the country to reform that issue. Lieutenant-Gove Chan Ter insists that the tariff ought to be taken out of politics. Mir. Whitney is making the Issue of conservative re- vision the ground of his campaign, and tics. Moreover, he is appealing to Re publican manufacturers for support. Queer th tngs are done in the name of the tariff Meantime the stand-pat- ter is serene. If he can get the tariff out of politics he will be satisfied Commissions move very slowly.

Such items as this from The Livings- ton Sun are highly encouraging as to the future of Alabama.
 Quite a number of north Sumter far mers are preparing to plant many more acres of rich black land in alfalfa. There is more money in it than if planted in cotton or corn.
 There is no reason why Sumter and contiguous counties should not be made to rival the famous blue grass region of Kentucky for stock raising purposes and alfalfa is one of the best means to accomplish that purpose. It helps too, to solve the labor problem, for fewer hands are required on stock raising farms than on cotton planta- lions. Any thing that will help the farmer towards independence of negro tabor is a benefit to the country.

THE BAD CITIzEN.

A Massachusetts contemporary. The New England Standard, has been look ing into the subject of bad citizenship. and the following are some of its con- clusions:
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-06-15
What Constitutes a Breeder.

We have been asked what is neces-
sary to constitute a breeder of swine
by a young farmer desiring to engage
in the business.
While the general term of breeding
is producing or generating according
to Webster, the best and most intelli-
gent class of famers are not so liberal
in their Interpretation of a breeder of
live stock According to Webster any
one is engaged in breeding who has
live stock on his farm that are pro-
ducing their young, writes a cores
pondent in American Swineherd. But
as we understand a breeder, he is one
who has skill and experience in SO mat
ing animals as to produce an improve
ment in the breed. That there are
such breeders of swine is shown by
the constant improvement in the vari-
Gus breeds. A man must have an ideal
to breed to, and the breeders of swine
have established their ideals in a stand
ard of excellence, and this formulated
standard represents the equalized and
harmonized opinions of the many on
what is believed to be the most profit
able hog for the farmer to raise for
market purposes. 1t would appear that
the minds of most of the famers of the
different breeds of swine have about
the same idea as to the best kind of a
hog for a profitable market.
At least the Berkshires Chester
Whites, Duroc-Jerseys and Poland
Chinas have been improved on closely
followed lines until if they were all
the same color there would be but
little difference in the general makeup
of the body of the hog. There have
been improvements in each one of them
and there are now splendid specimens

found in ALL True it is that people
have their favorites and it is we'll that
such is the case. These make a proper
rivalry, a healthful competition. It
shows that there are breeders of all
these breeds that are certainly improv-
ing them and keeping very nearly
abreast with each other
Breeders in reality must have some
other motive besides that of money
making. He must have a real desire
to improve and an ambition to make
successful breeder. Of course, this
is combined with a natural talent or
ability to judge by comparison or
otherwise for proper mating, and withal
must have the skill to feed and de-
velop, as no success can come without
this. A man that buys good hogs by
simply paying the price and even show
ing them might be classed only deal
er He would not come under the def
milton of a breeder in the opinion of
the most intelligent farmers. A breeder
that meets with success will confer a
lasting benefit upon his fellow farmers
and win an honorable name like Bates
and other of the great cattle breeders.
There is no doubt a great many men
who are breeding swine are just in
it for the money. They have no real
conception of improvement or how to
attain it in their breeding business
They have not studied the conditions,
but we believe today there are more
good breeders of swine, and no breed
is excepted in this, than ever before
and we consider this an ecouraging fea-
ture for the future farmer.

the same by reading, and re-reading
the directions before the vaccine ar
rives. The directions also give name
and place of dealer from whom may be
ordered the instruments needed for this
work. 1t is good idea for several cat
tie owners to club together and buy an
outfit for vaccinating, as they can then
assist each other and ore set of instru-
ments will last a number of cattle own
ers for many years. Just word of
caution as to the use of this, or any
drug, or vaccine or serum which is to
be injected into the circulation of a
healthy animal Everything used about
this operation must be kept free from
infection-must be carefully disinfected
and kept so from start to finish. Inject
infected material into the system and
the chances are good to infect your ami
NAL with something that may cause
it's death. The vaccine is absolutely
harmless if properly used. Any good
practical farmer or cattle man can use

The Kind Not Wanted.

A very large proportion of horses on
the market are what is known in
stock yards and market quotations as
general purpose animals. They are non
descripts without any particular type,
embracing misfits of all kinds of breed
ing They are not scrubs as a rule,
and are usually of from fair to good
quality but without characteristics that
fit a horse for a market class. In
many cases they may be serviceably
sound-perhaps SO in the majority of
instances. Such animals are used, as
the name designates, for anything and
everything, but the demand is not well
defined and the supply far too large
to make this kind of horse a feature of
the market other than by it's number.
When animals are sold on the market
as range horses it is generally under
stood that they unbroken branded
horses bought and sold in carload lots
usually going to the country to be
broken and finally resold as finished
horses. On the other hand, if range
men are equipped to break their young
stock thoroughly and do not brand
them such horses sell al river mar
kets as natives and strictly on their
merits.

STOCK
Roadside Watering rroughs.

AS the years go by. in certain sections
of the country, roadside watering
troughs seem to become less in num-
Der 1t is not an unusual sight to see
one overturned and slowly decaying,
or one partially filled with sand and
the small runway that carried the tiny
rill to it is broken; while in other cases
all vestiges of the troughs have dis
appeared. Long stretches of hot, dusty
road occur with no trough to Stake the
thirst.
The troughs need not be expensive,
to answer the purposes in fact the
writer has at times seen pretentious
troughs where the water appeared to
be stagnant. through neglect of some
of the system of piping that supplied it.
The best are, after ALL the real old
fashioned ones where the tiny stream
flows into it in plain sight. To come
upon such a one in some shady nook
after a hot dusty stretch of road, to
feel the cooler, fresher air that seems
to be near springs and running water,
to let the horse drink (and perhaps
drink oneself from the runway that
supplies iD. is one of the pleasantest
things in a long ride
Let there be as many watering
troughs as possible, and if there should
be one before your farm, keep an eye
on it. A little attention and the life
of a trough may be prolonged for a
long time, and there will be an oasis
on the dusty road instead of a useless
rill or a decaying trough upon the
ground,

Backlog.

There are very few farmers who do
not dread an outbreak OF blackleg in
their herds knowing that there is no
known cure for the disease. No appre-
hension need be felt however, if all
calves are vaccinated when but a few
weeks old and again. when yearlings
and two year olds. Many who are well
aware of the value of vaccination as
preventive put off doing it until it is
too late, depending upon a statement
which is so often made, viz, that calves
are not likely to be infested with the
disease when under six months old.
The writer has seen this disproved
again and again in many herds, and
has known of innumerable cases of
calves less than three months old dying
from blackleg
1t is generally asserted that cattle
are immune after eighteen months, but
this, too is not always safe to depend
on, for young COWS past three years
old have been known to contract the
disease, and it is safer to vaccinate the
whole herd under that age than to run
the risk of loss.
In a herd where calves are Vacclnated
when but few weeks old and later as
ally no danger of losing a single ami
NAL.
There are different proprietary prep
atoms which may be bought and with
the plain directions accompanying may
be used with confidence and satisfac-
ton. Blackleg vaccine may also be OBJ
tanned from the bureau of animal in
dustry, Washington, d. c., but when
ordering one must first write for an APP
plication blank for blackleg vaccine.
This blank is then sent to be filled out
according to the directions sent with
the same, and then returned and the
vaccine will be sent by mail. Full d.
rections for the use Of this vaccine are
always sent with the application blank.
BY sending the directions with the APP
pIication blank the cattle owner has
