WEIGHING THE MILK.

Much has been said OF the import
ance OF weighing the milk at each
milking and keeping record OF the
production OF each COW for the year,
or for the period she IS il milk be-
tween her times O: dropping her
calves, that the Improbable ones may
be culled out, and only the best pro-
ducers kept. Bat one advantage
seems to have been overlooked BY
many II not al! who have written OF
1t, which is that such a record may
be the sures: test for the owner OF
the daily health or condition OF the
COW. A sudden pulling off in milk
production does not happen without
cause, and often that cause may be
detected and re-ned.ed II the change
Is seen and noted in season. Ii the
owner does not milk AL his cows HIM
self he may not know of the trouble
until it Is too late to prevent Its
resulting in an illness, or in a perna-
nent shrinkage in production which
nigh. have been avoided If a glance
q. the record had revea; ed that there
was trouble whea 1t first began. Even
the cwcer Is not alwa.s as watcEfu!
as he should be nor as ready to sus-
pect Il; health or q lack OF proper
feed and care as he might be II
the falling of in production were
recorded in plain figures each day.
And for those who are Obliged to
have ne.p il The milking there may
be another consideration in favor o!
keeping a record A friend who has
some forty cows tells me that since
he has begun weighing the milk he
Ecsices a great deal OF emulation b.
tween the men to see which can
obtain .he best record, or be most
free from sudden falling OF in pro-
duction. They are more careful to
milk out the last drop in the uddcr,
and more ready to call kis attention
70 any changes in the record. They
have a quicker eye to no:ice the ef'
fects Of any change in food or mode
Of feeding. or the changes OF tenn
perature in the stables. He says for
Rhia ea1oe he would mot give up

TESTING FARM ANIMALS.

The capacity of an animal for the
performance OF labor or travel is sell
dom correctly known by it's owner
because the conditions under which the
animal is tested are seldom favor
able TO its bestt possible performance
The animal may have been able to
do far more without having been CIV
en- an opportunity for SO doing. AID
thus its real capacity is underrated.
The farmer should not condemn his
animals until he has faithfully en-
deavC:ed to give :hela the full oppor-
tCni::es required TO demonstrate their
ability, and when he has performed
his part he will know their real value
and that his profits will he according
to the quality OF the stock, as he can
retain only such as have proved them
selves worthy of his confidence, while
the inierio: class can be gradually
improved and the profits increased.
In order 10 know each animal it
should be closely observed and test
ed. rot only at certain ceasoHs, but
at periods ranging over the whole
year. in order to thoroughly UNDER
stand all the conditions. The feed
itself may be tsc.cd. as it differs
in quality at different times. A crop
Of hay G. one year may be OF diff
fe.a-i: s,lbst a,nce from tina: OF an
other kind. and hence the result OBJ
taineI during certain periods will not
always en,igcten the farmer as to his
proper course at another time, but
such tests will materially assist him
to avoid mistakes previously made.
AID also teach him where to econo-
mize Snd when to be liberal and gen.
erous to his stock.
Every animal on the farm should
be tested, whether cattle, sheep. swine
or horses. The ordinary COW should
have her merits known to the dairy
man, and he should famisiacize him
self with her qualifications. not only
as q miller, but as to the kind and
quality CT food best adapted for her
purposes and the most profitable. a
COW may only give twenty pounds OF
milk day and yet be an excellent
animal. If she can produce that
amount a: a low cost, while another
COW IN the same herd. NAV yield thir-
ty pounds a day. and yet prove un-
profitable compared with .he other.

ACTUAL STARVATION
DR.. w. E. Hamil Gives Facts
Regarding Dyspepsia

Although Indigestion and Dys-
pepsla are so prevalent, most people
do not thoroughly understand their
cause and cure. There is no reason
why people should not eat anything
they desire-if they will only chew
it carefully and thoroughly. Many
actually starve themselves into sick
ness through fear of eating every
good-looking, good-smelling and
good tasting food, because it does
not agree with them
Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia.
If we refuse every article of food
that disagrees with US, before long
we have nothing left, and find our
selves chronic dyspeptics.
We can cure Dyspepsia. We are
so confident of this fact that we
guarantee a cure, and promise to
supply the medicine free of all cost
to everyone who will use it, who is
not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suls which it produces. We exact
no promises, aud put no one under
any obligation whatever. Surely,
nothing could be fairer. We are
located right here in Pocahontas,
and our reputation should be sutii-
cient assurance OF the genuineness
of our offer.
We want everyone in Pocahontas
who is troubled with Indigestion or
Dyspepsia in any form to come to
our store and get box of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them
home and give them reasonable
trial, according to directions. They
are very pleasant to take; they
soothe the irritable stomach,
strengthen and invigorate the di-
gestive organs, promote a healthy
and natural bowel action, immediate
ly relief nausea and all stomach
irritation, produce perfect and
healthy digestion and assimilation.
