Next to corn and wheat and cotton.
alfalfa has come to rank in Importance
in the matter Of contributing to the

TOBOGGANING IN SUMMER.
New Sport N Austria-Other Uses for
the Mountain Sleigh.

Simmer visitors at the Sommering
and other mountain resorts near Vienna
are this season enjoying tobogEaning-a
sport hitherto confined to the winter
months,
The new summer tobOggan has n body
shaped very much like the ordinary win
ter article. and mounted on four low
wheels. Equipped with a strong and re-
liable brake. as well as steering apparat-
us, il affords a pleasant and speedy
means of descending mountain and hill
paths, and has already become very pop
ular among tourists.
1t is expected that the new toboggan
will have other uses besides sport and
amusement. for it offers a swift ana
ready vehicle for carrying a messenger
from the mountain hotels To- the towns
and villages below or in summoning
medical aid in case of accidents. Ex-
perimeutal trips on the Semmeriug range
and also on the Mills uvdg Vienna with

Salt is purified by melting in the new

rock salt is fed automatically to a table
contained in q large furnace, Is then
fused and runs into troughs. from
which 1t is drawn at one side of the
furnace into large caldrons. Air is
forced into the molten mass and lime
is added. The impurities sink to the
bottom, and the upper portion is ground
and screened while the lower part is
used for chemical manure.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a wOman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
cullar ills, more potent and etfica-
cious than any combination otdrugs.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years | had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.

total $1,000 tons and that the return to

Grind the Corn for the HOraes.

Corn and oats should be ground to
gether for horses Many good horse
men never feed whole corn. Some
horses cannot digest It properly, but
when it Is ground with oats the mix
ture makes one OF the best rations for
a work team, especially when doing
heavy work. Nearly all the large trans
portation companies In the cities never
feed whole corn.

on the 25,ooo,ooO acres Of improved land

on the 25,O0OOOO acres Of improved land
in the State.
In making these estimates, Fl. 2.
Baker, professor of forestry in Iowa
State Agricultural College, figured that
the farms Of Iowa required 100000
posts for fences, or 1900 to the square
mile. Placing the value Of the posts at
10 cents each, the cost of renewals ey-
cry eight or nine years, which is the
life of the post, Is $11,71S,Ooo, making
an annual bill for renewals Of 81 400
600.
Like many other farming States,
Iowa has lack of fence post material,
but there is little excuse for this con-
dition. according to the foresters who
have made studies in the State. \ prop
erly managed forest plantation will
produce. when the trees have reached
post size $500 posts three to five inches
IN diameter per acre: thus, 1t would
take 2,35O acres about every ten years
to grow the necessary posts to supply
the State Iowa is said TO have 900
coo acres of planted timber. and yet the
fence post supply is insufficient. If
properly cared for, many Of these plan
tations can be made to produce more
timber and thus insure the future post
supply.
These 100000 acres are not al present
furnishing the posts which it Is est
mated can actually be grown on $3.50

BOY or EIGHT YEARS

in London. At the age of his voice
BROKE" and became sepulchrally
bass, and now, at the age of s, he is
the posessor not only of full-grown
mans voice, but of a budding mus
tache. He has proved a sore puzzle
to thirteen doctors, including the
late Sir William Broadbent, who
have examined him and pronounced
him freak of nature"
This very percocious boy was
discovered" by Parry Cole, the
organist of a church in Mazda Vale.
and the composer of several light
him week ago to have his voice
tried for the church choir, and Cole
at once noticed that the boy, whose
birth certificate he can produce,
possessed a deep bass voice. Parry
Cole became so interested in the
case that he made an arrangement
with the parents of the boy to teach
him singing for seven years
Joseph Is tall for his age and
sturdy. and amazingly solemn. He is
very dark and on the upper lip is n
well-defined mustache, which his
mother cuts for him now and then.
He is extremely intelligent, and has
a voice of immense power. He sang
a patriotic song entitled Queen Vic
toria," composed by Cole. and the
power of his voice would have made
a Socialist on Clapham common
green with envy. Then he sang n
scale and reached the C in bass clef.
At present his ear is poor. but Parry
Cole believes that he has in this boy
a pupil who will one day become

Owing to the fact that Bryan is
to be Endorsed and will dictate the
national platform, it was decided to
confine the Indiana expressions al
most entirely to state issues, but
tariff will be advocated and trusts
denounced.
Many of the county conventions,
at which delegates to the state con-
vention have been selected, have de-
clared il favor of John w. Kern for
vice-president, and there is no doubt
that the state convention will in
struct for him if he will permit 1t.
The members of the committee are
for him and believe his nomination
possible, but Kern has not indicated
that he cares for the party indorse-
ment.
The early date of the state con-
vention is thought to favor the CUB
ernational candidacy of Samuel NJ.
Ralston, of Lebanon, who is a close
friend of National Chairman Tag
CART. 1t is apparently safe guess
that Ralston will be nominated and
that delegates favorable to the re-
/ tention of Taggart as national COM
mitteeman from Indiana will be sent
no the Denver convention. These
delegates will be selected by dele
/ gates to the state convention at dis
trict meetings held in Indianapolis
on the eve of the state gathering.
The designating of early conven-
ton dates was victory for Taggart
and for Ralston, who is Taggart's
choice in the governorship race.
