DEATH OF A VENERABLE
PHYSICIAN.

In November last death claimed one
of the venerable physicians of Western
New York, DR.. Alonzo Wiltse of Dele.
van, Cattaraugus County. Mr.. Wiltse
had been a practising physician for sew
enty years. A peculiar circumstance in
connection with his life is the fact that
thirty years ago he was stricken with
Bright's disease and after a thorough
examination and consultation by emil
nent Buffalo physicians, his ease was
pronounced incurable and he was ad-
vised to prepare for the closing of his
earthly career.
Returning to his home with such sad
information he was spurred to make
desperate analysis and study of
Bright S disease, with the result that
he formulated a remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave him an ad-
ditiona lease of thirty years of life, or
until the age of "a years, as mentioned
above.
Mr.. Wiltse in his practice thereafter
used the remedy with great success. The
mixture can be obtained at any local
drug store at nominal cost, and the
complete formula will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of twenty five cents
by addressing the Empire Type Foun-

So Much Nicer.

And it came to pass that women had
the privilege of casting ballots.
Naturally, the political leaders of the
gentler sex organized an executive
committee and called on each sister to
donate a dollar for campaign funds.
But said dissatisfied voter after
the election, 1--WE were defeated. Did
you use all those dollars to buy votes
as you promised?"
"Oh, no." replied the leader, sweet
ly: ION second consideration we de-
cided that buying votes was dishonest,
so we divided all the dollars up and
bought fall hats for the executive com.
mittce."
Thus we see that political rights in
the hands of the gentler sex would be
honesty itself,-Chlcago Daily News.

agricultural pursuits,


The soaring prices wheat and
beef have drawn our attention

a great educator.
The time is fast coming when
the common people won't be
able to eat meat at all and poor
people cannon even have pie
plant. Why is this? because we
have not instructed our boys in
scientific methods of agriculture
by which they could make a
success of the farm. AS a result
they are leaving for the factory
and the railway shop, where
they can make more money, and
agriculture, the most important
occupation in the world, is be-
come neglected.
believe that you are doing an
inestimable service to the youth
of our land in teaching them
practical occupations, and l urge
you to start the trend of migra-
ton back to the farm.

ALFALFA AND CORN.

All feeders of live stock con-
cede that equals corn as a fat
producer, but it is sadly lacking
in protein. All feeders, who
have tried it, agree that there is
nothing that exceeds alfalfa in
supplying protein, the element
in the ration designed to produce
bone, muscle and blood. The
two fed together come about as
near furnishing a balanced ra-
ton" as any two feeds can do.
Corn balances the alfalfa and the
alfalfa the corn. Kentucky and
Tennessee lands will grow both
of these crops successfully. We
may not grow as big crops of
corn as are grown in the 'corn
belt," nor as big crops of alfalfa
as are grown in some of the
Western States but we can
grow both and our prediction is
that in the future it is the lands
that can most successful grow
both corn and alfalfa will be the
most valuable in the United
States.
The big State Of Texas has
just gone through an unusually
exciting primary election. The
primary was to select delegates
to the National Convention at
Denver. Senator Joe w. Bailey
was a candidate from the State
at large and a bitter fight was
made on him. The opposition to
him was engendered by his al.

IMPROVED ROAD MOVEMENT.

progress of rural development is
bad roads. This fact is becOm-
ing generally recognized, and in
nearly every state in the Union
there is manifested a tendency
to remedy this evil by state ap-
preparations for the establish
ment of good public highways,
says the Architects and Builders
Journal. Among no class of peo-
pie is the need of good roads re-
allied better than by the farm
ers and others engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits. Until within
recent years these same people
opposed the idea of the state
issuing bonds to raise money for
this purpose, for by a false con-
ception of economy they reasoned
that the cost of modern improv-
ed highways would mean an in
crease of taxas.
Since, however, they have had
practical demonstrations of the
advantages of good roads by the
saving they afford in time and
the wear and tear of horses and
vehicles, no clsss of people is
more enthusiastic in their advo-
cacy. It is not the farmer alone
who is benefited by the building
Of good roads. Others who fol-
business or pleasure find it nee.
esssary to travel by public high
ways from city to city or from
town to town appreciate the ad.
vantage of a smooth, solid road
bed. Like the railroad, these
viaducts are an incentive to de-
velopment, and it is demonstra-
BILE that wherever good roads
have been established that Sec
tion has developed in material
prosperity and the value of prop
erty has enchanced. This is par
ticulary true of the suburbs OF
of large cities.
Improved roads have proved
| themselves to be an attractive
| incentive to urbanites to pur.
chase lots and erect dwellings,
Modern demands in this respect
have enlisted the attention O.
road engineers who have devoted
their thought and skill in the con
struction of these highways, an(
they are built from scientific
plans instead of by the haphaz
ard system which formerly pre-
vailed and which was invariabl,
atttened by unsatisfactory re
suits.

Mammoth clover is very SIM
liar to red clover, only it is much
larger and more luxuriant in
growth. 1t is better adapted to
seed with timothy, as it is a little
later in maturing and both ripen
more nearly together than do red
clover and timothy. It is not
quite so we'll suited for clay soils,
but when it is once established
it will grow profitably on soil of
that character. It will not stand
grazing quite as we'll as red
clover, as it is primarily a mead
ow crop. AS a hay it contains
about the same amount of food
elements as red clover.
Buy a farm, young man. Nc
matter how small it may be buy
a farm and prepare it so your
land will provide you a living.
Twenty years from now the man
who owns his farm will be indie
pendent and will have at his
command the means of a liveli-
hood. The expansion eff manu-
facturers can not go on forever
and there will come a day in this
country, as there has in others,
when the supply will exceed the
demand and the only absolutely
sure occupation will be farming.

took the first game by opening heavily
on Corbett in the first and second innings.
Having secured a commanding lead, the
team held it, largely on the wonderful
pitching Of Rhodes, though his support
had much to do with the result. Denver
made two hits, one a Texas Lacquer into

Fishers t~hree-bagger was secured on the
second ball pitched in the game.
The second game went to Denver on

Hollenbeck appeared unable to keep the
ball under control. Later he stopped the
hitting just as the Omaha men began to
find Bohannon's delivery. The rally in the
ninth inning was especially lively. four
