Angora Goats.

There are four points in favor OF
Angora goats; CD They will i'm
prove pasture by killing weeds and
brush. (2)-- They yield feeces Of fair
value. CD The flock increases with
reasonable rapidity. (4) They sup
ply the land with very good fertilizer
and distribute it evenly, there being
no large piles of it. Sheep are the
only other animals that can compete
with the goat in regard to point one
and two; and, as for improving a
pasture, particularly il it is has much
brush in it, the sheop do not compete
we're strongly.

Raise Pure-Bred CattIe.

If our farmers will raise pure-bred
stock and feed literally, judiciously
and regularly, make and save their

to warrant slaughter houses to come
into their midst, they will find good

otherwise raise. feed and ship in car

There is one especial point that we
wish to call attention to in cutting
alfalfa. That is, pay no attention to
the poisoning period, but look for
the sprouting Of the next growth at
the root crown. If the sprouts for
the next growth are out, cut the alf-
alta whether blossoms appear or not.
If they are not out, do not cut it,

CONY HIGH WINS.
Defeats Richmond High in Basketball
With Score of 20 to 8.

1t was a great victory for the COny
High last evening at City hall. when
Richmond High was defeated at baS-
| ketbalT to the tune of 20 to s. The
Freshman Sophomore game resulted in
a score of 6 to in favor of the Sopho-
mOres.
The ball was set rolling or rather
| flying by the Freshman Sophomore
| teams. They played d snappy half and
| then the Cony and Richmond boys took
the floor and proceeded to make things
interesting 1t looked at first as though
Richmond would have the best of the
battle, but later developments showed
that this was poor judgment, for the
COny boys got into the game with a
vim that surprised the good sized
crowd of spectators present and hard
~ allowed the visitors q basket dur
ing the first half The only criticism
that can justly be made is that both
teams We're deficient in passing and DIT
times were n little ratified in throwing
for goals. But this is certainly eN
cusable. considering the fact that il
was the first game of the season.
Rogers was the star of the Richmond
contingent. very easily, though Baker
and Newell did some good playing
Meader of Cony kept green the repu-
tation he made at the ChiZZle WiZzle
games as a basketball player, guard
ing well and throwing baskets with
great GOODNESS and ease. Huntington
was another good man and Fitzgerald
and Hutchinson did some highly COM
mendable work.
Both teams at times showed weak.

TO THE SICK
Prominent Physician Gives His Best
Prescriptions to Sick People
Without Charge.

Nearly all diseases or ailments are
caused primarily by poor circulation
of the Dlood-no matter whether 1t is
the kidneys, or the heart, or the stom-
ach, or liver, or whatever organ may
be aifected-poor circulation is the
primary cause.
A tamous physician, after years Of
study and experiments. has finally dis
covered a remedy which If used i'll
connection with certain other we'll
known drugs, and mixed in correct
proportions, will cure the most stub
born ailments. OF course the same in
gradients are not used in all diseases,
and it would require too much space
here to give each prescription in de-
tail, but as there is one basic principle
involved in all disease, 50 there is one
basic remedy in all these prescrip-
tons. namely, Concentrated Lecto
Compound. This remedy IS, as its
name implies, a concentration of the
most valuable agents known to science
for stimulating the circulation, thus
striking at the root of the evil.
The doctor has arranged with the
manufacturers of Concentrated Lccto
age of their preparation a full series
Of his original prescriptions in detail,
so that any sick person will secure
free Of charge exactly the same for
mula that the doctor would give il
one called at his Office.
The prescriptions include separate
formulas for kidney and heart trou-
bles, stomach and bowel troubles. ma
laria and liver troubles, blood and skin
diseases, and if you get a one-ounce
bottle of Lecto at the drug store, usu-
ally sold at about so cents, you can
readily select the proper prescription
for your ailment and mix the medicine
yourself.
All ingredients prescribed by the doc
tor are vegetable, and non-poisonous.
If your druggist is unable to supply
Lecto, send his name on postal to
"Lecto," Ito Verona avenue. Newark,
n. J., and you will be promptly adj
vised where it can be secured.
