There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Keep a Few Sheep.

The farmer who does not keep at
least small flock of sheep is losing
money every year, says Up-to-Date
Farming. Much of the feed consumed
by flock of sheep would be other
wise Il total waste.
A few sheep should be found on
every farm. Good, comfortable sheds
that are large and roomy are neces-
sity where sheep are to be wintered.
These need not be expensive, but
should be we'll ventilated. free from
drafts and situated on dry ground.
A large, open yard, apart from that
occupied by other animals, should be
provided for exercise. Too much con-
finement in overwarm or lily venti-
lated stables is fatal to success with
sheep. On the other hand, comforta-
BILE quarters, regular and liberal feed
ing, plenty of pure water and suf-
fiency of salt will go far toward in
surfing their successful wintering and
a strong crop Of lambs in the spring.

Pontiac Rag Apple is the full name
of the COW, and she holds the second
highest record for milk and butter
produced of any one COW in the
world, with the bluest of Holstein-
Fresian blood in her veins. She has
record of production that has
jumped from 279 to 800 quarts of
milk per week. At five cents a quart
for her milk she is netting her owner
an income of $22O per day; if turned
into butter the yield would be about
a quarter less than four pounds per

Trains That Never Chance.

The modern travelling man who
carries always the latest time sched-
ules in his coat pocket and grumbles
because the Pathfinder is published
only once a month may find it difficult
to believe that certain fundamental
trains have been going in and out Of
Boston at the same hour ON the same
service and making the same stops
for three-score years. Nevertheless,
such is the case. In fact, Massachu-
sets folks rather resent a change in
timetables. The story is told of one
Massachusetts rural town in the old
days that when it was proposed to
put on more trains to Boston the in
habitants objected because they said
1t would be a task to remember the
times Of SO many trains.
Back in the days Of the Mexican
war our grandfathers came into Bos.

Taylor was doing on the Nueces River

Value of Clover Har.

Ali in all, we consider. red clover
hay much superior to timo,h by, says
Farmers Call. We do no. know
what the chemical analysis shows.
We know what the COW, calf, steer,
sheep and horse have uniformly tes-
titled. 1t is easier to spoil clover hay
in the making than it is timothy hay.
That is to be considered 1t is i'm
portant to cut the clover before it
gets too ripe. And timothy is not
near SO much damaged in the swath
or windrOw by rain as is clover. But
in these days of wide-cut mo " ers, and
hay leaders and rickers and forks,
one can handle the clover with little
danger of damage. OF course if it
is very heavy one should use tedder.
1t seems that the Illinois Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has been
making tests to determine the rela-
tive value of timothy and clover, and
these results are reported: Twenty
horses were put on feed. They cost
$1S5 each, on the averaga, at the
outset, and sold at s2SS.37, profit
that looks decidedly attractive. In
this experiment, horses fed on corn,
bats and clover hay gained 2l1
pounds each in ninety-two days. At
twenty cents this would mean $55.4
and at the beginning OF the exper'
uent responsible horse deal
offered the experiment station u
thorities that price for all the . i
made In the case of the lot fl / o.
the same ration, but with timothy
substituted for clover, the gain was
but 142 pounds, and the timothy ra-
ton cost more than clover.
