Thomas A. Edison, the great American
inventor, says "Fully eighty per cent Of
the illness Of mankind comes from eating
improper food or too much food; people
are still inclined 10 over-indulge them
selves" This is where indigestion finds
it's beginning in nearly every case. The
stomach can do just 30 much work and
no more, and when you overload it, or
when you eat the wrong kind of food the
digestive organs cannot possibly do the
work demanded of them. 1t is at such
times that the stomach needs help; 1t
demands help; and warns you by head
aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea
and indigestion. You should attend to
this at once by taking something that
will actually do the work for the stom-
ach. Kodol will do this. 1t is COM
bination of natural dlgestants and vege-
table acids and contains the same juices
found in healthy stomach. It is pleas
ant to take. 1t digests what you eat

Five Hundred Club.

The Five Hundred Card Club has
been reorgsnized for the winter season
and held its initial meeting with Mr..
and Mrs. 7. j. Sayler ON last evening.
There was full attendance Of the NOM
bers and the meeting proved one Of the
most enjoyable ever held by the club,
and showed that all the members had
been anxiously awaiting the reorganiza-
ton. The handsome home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sayler on Fourth street, which has
just been remodelled, was autifully
decorated for the occasion. The guests
played Five Hundred until a late hour,
and then were entertained by some fine
piano selections while tho tables were
prepared for supper. Beautifu out
flowers and other favors were at each
guests plate when they were placed at
the tables and the refreshments served
by the hostess were most delicious. The
prizes for the card games were awarded
to Miss Mears, Mrs Cooper, Mrs, Mer-
rill and Mr.. Huntington. After supper
there were sew raj more selections on
the piano accompanied by a cornet
''solow" by a dozen artists on instru-
ments especially imported by Mr.. Say
Ter for the occasion. No such musical
treat as this has ever before been heard
in Lamar, and the artists positively re-
fused to accept an encore. 1t was jolly

Sell Poor Cows.

The figures of really representa-
tive herds must mean something to
the thoughtful farmer. The herd of
low production and the individual
cows that do not return the owner a
net profit of $12 or SIS per year
scarcely justify this investment of
money, time and labor in keeping
them A study OF these herds shows.
that the economical thing to do Is to
sell the poor cows to the butcher as
fast as they can be replaced with bet
ter producers. The latter can be ac-
complished either by more judicious
buying or by raising the heifer calves
of high-producing mothers mated to
a pure-bred sire having line of such
mothers in his ancestry.
This is not so difficult to do when
once the dairyman sets his standard
of q COW, determines definitely what
kind of a COW he will buy or produce,
and goes after that cow instead of
taking something else that may be
cheaper or easier to get. The great
est practical difficulty is in discover
ing what cows are poor and how poor
they are. This is quite easily done
In just one way-by weighing and
testing the milk of each COW often
enough throughout the milking
period to get fair estimate of her
worth. Scales and Babcock test
cost but few dollars and their use
may easily lead to an improvement
of the herd that will add hundreds
to the profit annually. Should not
every dairyman ask (and answer) the
question, ION which side of the profit
line-and how far from it's my
herd and every individual in it?"-

cows come out of the barn in the
spring as clean as they are when on
pasture. Make no mistake about the
stall; this stall is the ideal method
for tying up cows.
Next in Importance is the covered
pail. Mine is made after my own
ideas, and looks something like an
ordinary milk pail turned upside
down-small end up. The top is
seven inches in diameter. A shallow
pan two inches deep fits tight in the
top and is fastened there. A few
holes one-sixteenth of an inch in
diameter in the bottom of the pan
near the centre let the milk run
through into the pail. The spout of
the pail has tight fitting cover.
One or two thicknesses of strainer
cloth are slipped under the pan before
it is fastened in place, and the re-
suit is a dust and dirt proof pail.
There is no patent on this pail.
To work this combination l pro-
ceed about as follows: l take my
pail and stool and sit down by the
COW, tie her tail, milk out the fore
milk, wipe her sides and udder with a
cloth, and proceed to milk into the
shallow pan. The milk strikes the
bottom of the pan, runs through the
holes in the pan, through the strainer
cloth and into the pail, where it is
practically sealed from outside condi-
tions. 1t comes in contact with the
air of the barn only while it is PASS
ing from the teat to the pan-a dis
tance of perhaps six inches. l have
received many helps from the Tribune
Farmer, and hope this will point the
way for cleaner milk for others.-L.

Farm Notes.

Whatever may be said for or
against the practice of dehorning,
breeding the horns off is the better
way.
The farmer should take active in
terest in the condition of the roads
of his town. Their excellence in
creases the value of the farm.
The entomologists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have found that
the common red ant and the larvae Of
wasp fly are the best parasites for
the boil weevil.
Probably not half the farmers give
lime in any form to their fowls.
Those who do not can hardly expect
the fowls to be particularly generous
to them in the supply of eggs. or in
thickness of shell on those they do
furnish.
Wherever sheep feed new sweet
grasses flourish and weeds are de-
stroyed. For this reason farmers
should raise more of them. If for no
other. But there are several other
and equally good reasons why every
farm should have its flock of these
useful animals.
When feeding meat to hens do not
use the fatty parts. The object in
feeding meat to hens is to supply
them with nitrogen and albumea and
not fat, as the grain contains all the
fat and starch they require and in a
cheap form. II the fat is fed 1t does
not assist in any way to provide ma
terial for eggs, but rather retards
than assists laying.

Alcohol From sawdust.

Samples OF alcohol made from saw.
dust have been sent to the Depart
ment of Agriculture from one OF the
big sawmills, where the work is be-
ing done on commercial scale; that
is to say, distilling plant has been
installed, which is turning out sew
eral barrels of alcohol daily, though
no figures are available as to the ac-
tual cost of manufacture compared
with wood alcohol or that from grain.
The interesting point about the saw
dust alcohhol is that it is a wood al
cohol, having none OF the properties
Of that fluid, but is an ethyl alcohol
that cannot be told from that made
from grain. The difference is that
the sawdust has been treated with
an acid, Transforming it into dex-
trose, and is then distilled in the regu-
lar way. II the work can be done
at profit, and the indications from
the work of the company point to
this being fact, it will not only
make a valuable by-product out Of
the sawdust that has heretofore been
an intolerable nuisance to the saw
mills, but 1t will open up a way to
make alcohol profitable from straw,
cane, cornstalks and almost any other
vegetable refuse.-Kansas City Jour

Thinking of an Orchard?

Numerous apple orchards are
planted from which no adequate re-
turns are made for the amount of
work performed. Oftentimes the
trees are purchased from some peri
patetic and irresponsible tree peddler.
The trees are planted according to
the best methods, but a failure to
protect them against rabbits or other
vermin causes the destruction of
probably fourth of the number the
first winter after they are planted.
The following summer the land
may be planted in some crop requir-
ing clean cultivation, as potatoes, to-
bacco, cabbage or tomatoes, and in
the plowing of these crops 1t often
happens that more pains are taken
to protect a cabbage or tobacco plant
than fruit tree.
The result is that many are skinned
by the singletree or trace chains and
irretrievably damaged. II such a
tree should survive, 1t will never
prove healthy or prolific in the yield
of apples.
After the trees are large enough to
be in full bearing, no efforts are
made to protect them by spraying
against the numerous insect enemies.
The bark of the tree cracks, and these
cracks soon encircle the tree and the
tree dies. An orchard, 20 be profita-
BILE, requires the greatest Of care.
The land must be fertilized from
time to time. Weeds, brushes and
briars must b, kept down. The trees

Why AlIiaators Are Scarce.

Alligators are scarce and the chil
dren Of the wealthy are largely re-
sponsible for it. The demand for
young saurians has greatly increased
since 1t has become a fad to carry
them stuffed as playthings. 1t is not
unusual on pleasant days to see chill
dren, accompanied by nurse maids,
carrying a young alligator by the
tail. The mouths OF the creatures
are wide open. and they are made as
realistic as the art of the taxider-
mist can render them. Most Of the
stuffed pets are from foot to 10
inches long. Their appearance. es-
pecially when they are taken to the
enclosure where real alligators bask
in the sun, at first fills the beholde7

TIE HAWK AND THE SQUIRREL.
A Contest in the Wilds of California
Related.

Driving down the gentle slopes OF
Sonoma Mountain-.the mountain is
2340 feet high-we observed a very
large hawk-the largest of the
hawks, a large brown-spotted fellow.
perhaps rightly an eagle-perched
on the fence by the roadside. AS we
approached, he flew quartering to-
ward us, dove down at the foot of a
rocky hill and arose in the air carry.
ing full-grown gray ground squir.
rel in his talons. This squirrel is
nearly the size of the timber gray
squirrel of the east, and looks very
much like it, except that it usually
has several light-colored bars on it's
sides, and old specimens are of
lighter earthly gray. 1t lives in holes
in the ground, usually in dry, rocky
places.
The hawk flew about fifty yards,
when the squirrel reached up and bit
him on the leg. This squirrel has a
very tough hide, sharp, strong teeth.
and is fighter from away back. The
hawk at once released his talons, but
the squirrel hung on with his teeth
quite little time, and then dropped
to the ground and started for his
rocky home. The hawk few dowr
100 yards further and alighted on
the fence. The squirrel was injured
somewhat, but made very good time
back. The hawk waited until ne was
within few yards of home when he
darted for him again and arose with
him. This last fight of the hawk
showed with what wonderful velocity
the great bird could pass through the
air. The hawk had flown only two
or three rods when the squirrel bit
him again, and he dropped it. The
poor squirrel was now badly used
up, but he did his best to get under
cover. The hawk again perched on
the fence. The squirrel had reached
within a few feet of its burrow when
the hawk started for him again. This
time he seized the now well nigh
helpless squirrel securely with both
feet and sat down on his tail-the
hawks tail-stretched out his legs
to their fullest extent and stretched
his head and neck away back out OF
danger, and so held his victim until
his struggles we're over, and then he
few up on an old tree to enjoy his
dinner; and the show was over.-

POSSIBILITIES OF THE TROLLEY.
Strategy Proposed For the Conquest
of the Suburban Traffic.

Transportation by trolley has gone
through three stages, and will in due
time enter upon a fourth. The first
of these was the intra-urban traffic,
in which passengers were carried
from place to place within the same
city. The second stage was that of
suburban traffic, which became neces-
sary with the growth of outlying dis
tricts adjacent to the cities in which
the lines had been laid. The third
stage was the inter-urban traffic, be-
gun originally to connect nearby cit
les, such as Minneapolis and st. Paul,
and gradually extending further and
further until cities OF the first rank,
such as New York and Boston, were
connected by continuous lines. Pro-
jects are now under way to unite
many more of the larger cities north
of the Potomac and Ohio in net
work of trolley connections. More
progress has been made in the Cen
trail West in this phase of develop
ment than anywhere else in the coun-
try, with the possible exception OF
New England.
The fourth stage might be de-
scribed as that of the trunk line.
Within the last few days an an
nouncement has been made of pro-
posed air line electric route between
New York and Chicago, reduced to a
distance of 742 miles, the run to be
made in ten hours. The Pennsyl.
vania Railroad line between Chicago
and New York is 912 miles. The
electric air line route would thus cut
off 10 miles, or 1876 per cent. Of
the steam road distance.
Assuming that an electric trunk
line between Chicago and New York
Is. financially and otherwise practical
BILE, and this is open to question, the
strategic value of such project is
such as possibly to have far reach
ing effect on the whole trunk line
situation. If electric lines could
eventually parallel the trunk lines
to the Atlantic and Gulf seaports
their influence on the railroad situa-
tion might not stop with passenger
traffic. They would begin to tell
sooner or later on freight conditions.
They would not simply figure as feed
ers of the railroads, as they are now
generally doing, but possibly reduce
the ton mile rate OF freight to new
low basis of cost. The average rev.
enue per ton mile for the year end
Ing June 80, 1903, was 0.762 cent.
and for 1904, 0.7S0 cent. This is
the lowest average cost of any rail-
road system in the world, but cannot
be accepted as finality. The probable
effect OF electric line construction on
railway rates would not only be
found to influence through freights,
but might be still more marked in its
effect upon local freight rates. This
Is doubtless a far look ahead. but
the development OF electric power has
been so rapid and marvellous that its
possible future growth becomes
subject OF fascinating iaterest.-The
Wall Street Journal.

Although the production Of crude
petroleum in America is making en-
ormous strides every year, the bulk
OF this comes from new territories
which yield heavy oils containing
little or no spirit. In fact, the fields
which have in the past supplied the
world with petroleum spirit and the
high-class Illuminating oils are, it is
said, failing, so much so that the CEN
ire of production is no longer in the
Eastern States, but lies equally be-
tween the Gulf States and California.
Recent work in the mid-continental
fields shows, however, that there is a
prospect of the supply of high-grade
oils being ncreased.-Engineering.
