How I Cured sweenv and FlstuIa.

'I want to tell you how 1 saved one
of our horses that had fistula. We
had the horse doctor out and he said
1t was so bad that he did not think he
could cure it, and did not come again.
Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and
it cured it up nicely.
"One day last spring 1 was plowing
for a neighbor who had horse with
sweeny, and told him about Sloan's
Liniment and he had me get bottle
for him, and it cured his horse all
right, and he goes off now like colt.
I'VE had horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought it was
never going to be any good. but we
used Sloans Liniment and it cured it
up nicely. l told another neighbor
about it and he said it was the best
Liniment he ever used.
I'VE are using Sloan's Sure Collie
Cure and we think it is all right"

Brain and Nerves Restored by Grapo-
Nuts Food.

The number of persons whose all

Three years ago was attracted by
an article on Grape-Nuts and decided
to try it.
MY stomach was so weak I could
not take cream, but / used Grape Nuts
with milk and lime water. 1t helped
me from the first, building up my sys-

the friends who had thought my re-

Soon l was able to take Grape
Nuts and cream for breakfast, and
lunch at night, with an egg and Grape
Nuts for dinner.
Il am now able to eat fruit, meat
and nearly all vegetables for dinner,

Pant. for the Orphans.

There = praiseworthy custom in
some families of sending all the
pants" that the boys have gone
through, wholly or in part. to the asy-
lum for orphans, and, as the orphans
never mind hole more or less. they
are glad to get the garments. In one
of these families a few days ago oc-

Neither the people OF Vermont nor

to be unfair or unjust TO the railroads

the Messenger or the Rutland Herald
have shown in their argument that
the railroads are entitled to discrimi-

Does the town or the state ask the
farmer, the merchant or the manufac-
turer whether his business is paying
dividends when the taxes are assess
ed? Are not the farmers, the mer-
chants and the manufacturers just as
essential to the prosperity Of the state
as the railroads? Is the interest of
one corporation or individual more
precious in the sight Of the public
than the interest Of another corpora

CARE OF YOUNG STOCK.
Neglect Will Cost You Dearly-SheI-
ter and Feed Well.

The perfection and value of the
mature animal depend largely upon the
normal unchecked growth of the
young up to maturity. A colt that has
once been starved and stunted will
never make a large. valuable horse
and calf that has been so treated
will never make valuable COW. They
must grow from birth to maturity
without check.
During winter calves and colts need
dry, warm stalls with enough feed to
keep them growing and in good flesh
even little fat on them will do no
harm. Let them out for exercise in
good weather, but shelter them well at
night. The better the shelter the
more good their feed will do
Some people allow their colts and
calves to remain out in all kinds of
winter weather with straw stack for
shelter and straw for an exclusive diet,
says the Journal of Agriculture. They
come out in the spring skin-poor and
require nearly the whole summer to
make up the loss of flesh. That does
not pay A young animal that is worth
keeping is worth keeping right.
The calf or colt in a warm, well-bed-
ded stall with corn slower or timothy
hay and some clover or alfalfa hay and
small daily feed of grain will grow
right through the winter and come out
in the spring in full vigor for more
rapid gains on cheap pasture in sum
mer. Every 100 pounds of extra flesh
on the finished horse is worth from ten
to fifteen dollars, which is a good price
for even concentrated feeds.
The farmer who has the reputation
of keeping nothing but fat animals will
have the beaten path made to his door
by eager buyers.

girl guest that one day she would be

The new cares and social duties
which Mrs. Taft will have to take on
may tax her strength to the utmost.
but it is probably true that there could
not be found woman better fitted for
the place than the wife Of the next
president. She has Individuality,
strength of character and an inde-
pendence of belief, added to mind
of rare cultivation, the result Of years
of study and travel. She has devoted
herself to the care of her home and
children and the seconding of her hus-'
bands public career, and in the latter
capacity she has familiarized herself
with the great questions of the day.
So well equipped educationally is
Mrs. Taft that she will not only be
able to converse intelligently on sub
jects of public interest with her own
countrymen, but being linguist, she
will be able to discourse familiarity
with foreign statesmen and diplomats
in their own tongues. 1t Is said that
Mrs Taft has devoted a part of each
day for years to the study of languages
and music, and in both has attained
proficiency reached only by the few.

Each jaw of the trap is separated by

by iron pins in holes bored in the
upper front cross-pieces of the frame.
No door at the entrance is needed.
When the animal enters, stout stick
is thrust behind him into the cleats on
one side of the chute, and used to
force him into the proper position and
then fastened by dropping pin into
the nearest hole in the specially ar
ranged piece on the other side. Such
an arrangement practically does away
with all body struggle.
Such a chute, with the front as lit
tie INSTRUCTED as possible, makes it
easier to induce an animal to enter
than If otherwise. What head move
ment it is necessary to subdue after
the trap is closed is best accomplished
by tying the head down to ring or
other convenient fastening placed at
the proper distance.
