II HOW IS YOURISTOMACH !?
Easy Way tn Strengthen 1t and
Get Well

A good digestive system, one that
acts so that you do not know that you
have stomach, is Gods birthright to
every man-to every woman.
If digestion is weak, if food turns
into gas. if you suffer after eating. It
you are sleepless, sFnervous and out OF
sorts then thessstomach is diseased and
prompt action should be taken.
w. A. Ennis,s well-known builder
in Syracuse. tells an easy way to
strengthen the stomach and get we'll
when he writes: "Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets have done moresfor me in one
week than all the doctors the two
years | was under their care. Thanks
to Mona, can work once more, the
first time in over year"
1t is an easy thing to strengthen the
stomach and cure indigestion by using
Mi-o-na. Get 50-cent box from Fred
ID. Pierce with his guarantee, to refund
the money unless the remedy does all
that is claimed for it.

leadingbreeders of the East and West.
The cattle in these herds have never
been placed in the show form demand
ed by western ideas and have never
been forced for records. Nearly every
test has been made with little or no
grain in summer or medium grain
ration in winter. The cattle are large
and we'll built and when dry flesh up
with rapidity astonishing to anyone
not familiar with good Shorthorn
blood. The herds are being kept as
working dairy herds, the calves being
raised on skim milk and are never
allowed to suck. Some seven days and
longer tests have been made and reveal
fine dairy capacity. Tests in seven
days: Clara, 1854 pounds Of milk ::
Daisy, IA pounds Of butter; Dolly, IA
pounds Of butter; Lady Oxford, IA
pounds. seven ounces of butter; Fan
ME 7th, IS pounds of butter Lula 9TH,

tests were made by a member Of the

ture. Daily milk records of other
COWS in the herd, from 40 to 80 bounds

1884 pounds of milk, 80 pounds, six
ounces Of butter in 40 DAYS when four

cepting bran, yet she girted eight
feet, one inch, and weighed 2100
pounds. When three years old she
gave 46 pounds of milk daily, which
made Is pounds of butter in seven
days.
Oxford Lads produce resembed this
cow to a great extent, being large,
broad backed with square quarters
combined with prepOtent dairy quail
ties. These characteristics can be
seen in the herd to the present day.
Nearly all the animals are daughters
or granddaughter Of Pride of Lyndon,
Minerva 9Th and Minerva 9Th, all by
Oxford Lad Pride of Lyndon was ex-
hibited at the New England and vari-
Gus state fairs during the '90s when
competition was strong, yet never
lost blue ribbon. though her most
valuable characteristic was the ability
to give between 1000 and $4,000
pounds of milk per year and at the
same time to present an appearance
that attracted attention and admira-
ton. The other two cows were prac-
tieally full sisters to Pride Of Lyndon,
being splendid dairy COWS making as
high as three pounds Of butter each
per day on grass alone.

was further augmented by F. E. Simp-
pson, who purchased all the best cows
in the we'll known Bemis herd. All the
animals trace several times to Oxford

ted of only % pounds of hay and five
and one-half pound of grain per day,
thus making her butter at cost Of 10
cents per pound. Many other equally
as good tests have been made and
other tests are being made from time
to time.
Among the bulls in use is Cattage-
mound Duke, whose dam gave 1900
pounds of milk and IS pounds, 10
ounces of butter in 90 days. His sire's
dam was never dry after her first
lactation until eleven years old and her
dam was never dry during all the year
that she was in the Fairhaline herd.
The demand for the Shorthorn cattle
possessing good dairy qualities has
proven one of the most prominent fea-
lures of the great trade in pure breed
cattle, a marked characteristic. in agri-
cultural interest of the past 20 years,
and is ample proof that New England
farmers and breeders are finding such
cattle profitable for their kind of farm
ing.

In Namelsss Graves.

Not far from Hamburg on the island
of Westerland, is a small graveyard to
which pathetic interest attaches. Here
the bodies of those washed up by the
sea-bodies unrecognized and. unclaim-
ed-are buried. The cemetery was
dedicated to this use in 1855, and from
then up to now over sixty nameless
ones have found their rest. In 1883 a
stone was raised bearing the dedication
'The Home of the Homeless" and
each little mound is further marked by
simple black cross.

Herd District Tur~ed Down.

A great injustice was done the carey
farmers by the refusal of the Bingham
county commissioners to establish a
herding district As asked for. The
stock interests are relatively of much
less Importance than farming, and
about the only range left on the tract is
the green fields of grain. One man can
herd hundreds Of head of.stock at small
expense, but It will take 4 hundred
men oil the time to keep the stock from
the fields. The expenditure for fences
will be many times the cost of herding,
and falls upon the people who are least
able to bear the expense. Stockmen
have their rights, but they have their
limitations. These rights do not in
clude trespass.

the effect upon the business, as well as
upon the morals and general welfare.
Your people need have 40 fears that

you and one of the strongest induce
ments for those TO locate there who
may be seeking point for manufactur-
ing and other industrial lines. Those
who employ large numbers of men,
whether skilled or unskilled, do not
want saloon influences around them
any more than do those who are rear

shown by the attitude of the great cor

Aberdeen Man Furnishes Evidence. Of
Development on Carey Land.

One can hardly realize how rapidly
development is progressing on the carey
tract here. Last year the development
was marvellous, but il is as nothing com
pared 10 that which will this year take
place. To illustrate, one man near

acres this year He is working twenty
four horses and operating steam out
of wheat, more than 800 of oats, be-
side rye, barley, speitz and other crops.
One of these places he filed upon, one
he purchased. and the rest of the land
is rented. When il is taken into con-
slderation that all this land was in sage
brush little more than year ago, IL H.
Illustrates the progress that has been
made. John X. Foulks is the man re-
ferred TO, but he is by no means enu-
tied 20 the honor for all that is being
done. lie is simply factor like many
Others, and all have part in the trans
formation. He is doing one thing, how
ever. that is commendable. He is using
the best seed he can obtain. and next
year will be able to supply large part
Of the seed needed for the Aberdeen
country. Seed is scarce this year. and
promises to be SO again next year, and
relief from this situation will be gener-
ally appreciated.
