An Unconscious Meal.

Once John Muir. author and ranch
man, was dining with a friend. The,
sat down. and Muir began to tell 6
story. The waiter came around severa
times. but the story was so good moth
Ing was ordered Muir talked anu talk
ed. and in between he would reacl
over and break off a piece of breaG
0 a French loaf on the table. This
he did a good many times. The stor,
reminded him of another, and so he
talked and ate bread until finally, beine
very hungry. his companion broke IL
with:
well. what shall ! order for you. Mr.
Muir"
"Order?" he repeated in his abstrac
don.
"Yes. order-to eat"
He looked over at the last little re
naming piece Of bread on the plate
and said, as II waking from q dream:
Eat? Why. i've had all want
That bread was bully."-Bookman.

Alfalfa Gains Ground.

Alfalfa is gaining in popularity in
every section tried. The Vermont az
ricultural station gives the results of
alfalfa growing in that state. The
average total yield per acre ranged
from two and Il half to six tons. The
methods of culture Endorsed include
thorough preparation Of the soil. early
seeding with grain. preferably With
oats, the use of twenty pounds Of seed
per acre. a light annual top dressing
with commercial fertilizer and the use
of land free from weeds, especially
quack grass and dodder. On proper
soil the crop had fair success, and all
the growers interested pronounced 1t
profitable. particularly on certain
kinds Of soil. Gravelly or slaty clay
loans with good natural u%nderdrain-
age and gently sloping to provide sur
face drainage gave the best results.

Beef Production.

In a recent bulletin issued by the
Nebraska experiment station are Civ
en- the results of Investigations cover
ing u period of four years concerning
the most economical rations for beef
production. The following is a brief
summary Of the report made at the
close Of the experiments: Prairie hay
when fed with corn alone to cattering
cattle gives small and unsatisfactory
gains and very little or &c profit. Al
falfa hay with corn alone gives large
and profitable gains. Clover hay may
be fed probably when alfalfa cannot
be procured. The use of we'll cured
corn slower win alfalfa and corn.
while 1t may not produce larger gains,
will make the gains less costly be-
cause of its low market value. thereby
increasing the profits over corn and al
falfa alone. In feeding only prairie
hay as roughness to fatten cattle much
larger and more profitable gains can
be made if linseed meal or possibly
some other protein concentrate is fed
with corn in small quantity rather
than feeding corn alone.

Gull Out the WeakIinqs.

One decided aid to better vitality in
the locks is to lever let a chick live
that shows low vitality. kill every
weakling" should be the wide awake
poultryman's watchword, and never
breed from a bird that is not just full
of vigor and vitality-that is. not IL
the most robust health. The indic;i-
tons of weakness and low vitality
should be considered, the condition of
the eye being mi Of the safest guides.
A dull, lusterless eye is a certain sign
Of weak vitality. a long, thin shank
and a thin body are other indications
of weakness, and we should avoid a
"crow" head-a long, thin head. That
is a sure sign Of lack Of vitality and
vigor.-Professor j. F. Rice.

HINTS FOR TApnsLRS
Care of the Horse.

The hardest thing to buy in this
world is Il horse. Why should the
farmer 90 10 much buying? We
should plan so it will lie necessary to
buy as little as possible. but, on the
other hand. try to have a good one to
sell occasionally. Raise horses. says
the Stockman.
When you get into the hay harvest
next summer. do not forget to put the
hay Of the best quality in the barn for
the horses. There is where it is need
ed. OF course it would be best If all
were good, but there Is always some
which is better than Others. Early
cut mixed timothy and clover is my
kind Of hay for the horse and all other
stock.
You Will never make a living work
ing yourself to death: neither will you
ever make anything working your
horse to death. Do not overwork the
horse, for he will feel the effects of it
afterward. Do just what you can. try
to feed right. and in the end you will
ind that you have done the most. You
need not worry IL your neighbor is
blowing more than you are. Because he
Injuries his team is no reason that you
should.

Mammoth Cave.

For many years after the discovery
OF Mammoth cave the entire worl, Of
exploration was practically in the
hands of negro slaves, the property of
the man who owned the cave. Some
times they would come to an obstacle
that barred the passage, s,scia as a
great limestone rock or a yawning
creVass across the way. Such obsta-
cles would often stop exploration i'm
thai direc.Dn for years. though beyond
the obstruction there were likely TO be
scores of beautiful chambers and many
mics or passageways. Thus it happen
ed mat for years nothing was known
Oh mat large part Of the cave lying be-
yohd the abyss named the Bottomless
pit. This obstruction was known for
over twenty years before it was cross
cd. Then II day in 1887 the negro
cave explorer Stephen and some of his
teliows dragged to the place the trunk
OF q small tree. and on this rather dan
gerous bridge Stephen crawled across
the abyss. Then began the explora.
tons that revealed one of the most
wonderful and extensive parts OF
Mammoth cave. The abyss was found
later to be $50 feet deep.

WORK WEAkENs KIDNEYS
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work in
Mitchell.

Most Mitchell people work every
day in some strained. unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious housework; lifting.
reaching or pulling, or trying the
back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of alt-
ering the poisons from the blood.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
put new strength in bad hacks.
Mitchell cures prove it.
James e. Duncan, living on w.
Second St., Mitchell, S. D., says: "For
more than ten years l have handled
end lifted a great deal of heavy ma
chinery and the constant bending to-
gether with the wet clothing that I
was upahle to avoid, began to tell
on my vi lneys and l began to suffer
attacks OF backache which gradually
rev more painful and distressing un-
til 1 began to suffer almost constant
ly. I knew that my suffering arose
from a disordered condition OF my
kidneys, for during these spells the
secretions were irregular, thick and
highly colored. I commenced using
l)oan's Kidney Pills which I procured
