What Mioht Be.

H. A. Hopper of the Illinois College
of Agriculture has been testing the
cows of that state for the last two
years. He makes the statement that
II all the COWS in the state were as
good as the best herd he has tested
they would add to the revenue Of the
farmers o; Illinois over 100000, 900
annually. All this loss traces back
to the mistaken judgment of the Hi
nois farmer concening cows. II he
would commence to make q study of
cows. their breeds and types, he
could correct that judgmen.

ent designs of sheep racks, hoping to
get a good combination of all the de-
sirable qualities of good sheep rack.
About four years ago, writes the cor
respondent of Prairie Farmer, / con
structed one the plan of the design
herewith illustrated and find it an
swers the purpose better than any
thing yet found.
The rack can be constructed against
the wall or away. SO that the sheep may
feed from both sides. AS we have our
racks constructed around the outer
walls of our sheep barn the one here
illustrated is designed for that pur-
pose.
In constructing the rack we first
place 2X4s at an angle of about 20 de-
grees to the base of the siding. leav-
ing space at the top for feeding of
about 20 inches. The rack was then
boarded at the ends and faced, as
shown in cut. The distance from the
floor to Il is is inches. From f to ton
Of Stats is eight inches. AT Il trough
was constructed for the feeding OF
grain. Small cleats were toe-nailed in
two inches apart. With this small
place to get the roughage through the
sheep waste very little hay. Grain
can be conveniently fed in the trough
without difficulty.

A Good story on Andrew carneaIe.

1t is no secret in Pittsburg that Mr.
ton OF the list of the twenty-eight "un-
defiled" citizens of Greater Pittsburg
whose achievements in the field OF
morals and industrial competition
were celebrated last week at the ban
'quet of the Pittsburg Chamber of Com
merce. They do not go far in Pitts
burg until they consult Andy. When a
list of the possibilities was laid before
him, he called for blue pencil and be-
gan Slashing attack along the whole
line.
AS he marked out one name after the
other-so goes the tale, on the author
ity of well-known citizen of Pitsburg,
now in New York, familiar with the
facts and friend of Carnegie from
boyhood-the ironmaster chanted i'm
pressively from celebrated psalm:
'Who shall stand in the hill Of the
Lord?" And off went a name.
And who shall walk in His holy
placer" OFF went another
He that hath clean hands" More
blue pencil.
And pure heart" Heavy marking,
which broke the lead.
who hath not lifted up his soul to
vanity?" The name of very promi-
nent person with social aspiration
erased.
Nor sworn deceitfully." Pencil ex-
tremely active.
He that putteth not out his money
to usury." Further rapid slashing.
Nor taketh reward against another"
Renewed energy.
Then a name caught his eye, which
lowered grimlN over it. The pencil
paused at the nomen and prenomen of
a certain Scotch-American multimil-
lionaire, who has endowed libraries ga
lore, who owns the underlying bonds of
the model corporation, who would as
soon win money at bridge as in Wall
street, whose only regret is that he did
not sell certain property for twice
what he charged for it. The chanting
of the sacred song went on.
"Who sweareth to his own hurt and
changeth not" But the pencil left
that one name undisturbed, unchal-
lenged: and an expression of pleasure
fitted over Mr.. Carnegie's counter
nance. as he broke the chain of sacred
quotation with the wise observation:
1T is wonderful how these ancient
Scriptures can be applied to modern
conditions"

This Woman Took Or. WIiIicms' Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption

fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most of US are almost daily ex.

The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results SO fatal could
scarcely DO better described than In the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of
92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
For six months after the birth of my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes, Some days they twitched SO I
could hardly see and black spots floated
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.
''If tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. l was so thin that weighed
only 95 pounds.
Zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. /
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and now weigh over
1870 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
rs they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never
been seriously i'll SINCE"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for

have done in similar cases.

with a picture of three-story house
located on West Colfax avenue, which
can be built by anyone of a little me-
chanical skill for less than three hun
dred dollars, including the materials,
and extra labor one would have to en-
ploy. The house is fourteen feet wide
and twenty-three feet eight inches
long. The walls are solid rock and &C.
ment, and are laid between boards the
same as the old style grout house,
stone being used as much as possible
between each layer of cement and
gravel. mixed one of cement, four of
sand and eight of screened gravel. The
loose stone should be surrounded by
the concrete at least one inch thick on
every side.
On account Of the great strength of
the cement wall 1t is not necessary to
have the wall of the first story or
basement over ten inches thick, and
above the first story six inches is OF
ample thickness when Ike board
uprights are used every thirty-two
inches. Barb-wire or any old iron
should be used plentifully in the wall
and corners to strengthen it.
Six-inch sewer pipe can be used to
advantage in the wall for chimneys.
The floor of the basement is cement
and the two upper floors hard pine.
Creosote stain is used inside, also on
the roof and gables The halance nj
the paint is pure lead and OIL The Gre
osote is mixed with about one-fourth
boiled linseed oil and color.

adapted to south slope and is cool
