New York, Nov. 10.--ln speaking OF
the tragic death of ex-senator Car
mack at Nashville, Senator Depew
said that he was very much shocked
by the occurrence and added
"He was an exceedingly brilliant
man. He was more than debater.
In fact, there was certain element
of genius about him. The last thing
he did In the senate was filibuster-
ing speech against some measure that
his party did not want to go through.

ScAtica is neuralgia of the sciatio
nerve. Its origin Is generally rheumatic
and is the direct result of taking cold. For
this reason the disease is commonly
known as "sciatic rheumatism.
Absolute rest is the best all to proper
medical treatment. Rest and Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills will cure most cases.
Mrs. Mary NJ. Etz, of No. 500 , West
Clinton street, Elmira, n. Y, suffered
for nearly year and during a great
part of that time her symptoms were
constantly increasing i'll severity, al
though she was under the care of
a doctor and nurse. Il had very weak
heart action" she says, land l believe
that my kidneys became affected.
There were terrible pains in my back
and limbs and my feet and ankles were
swollen. l had night s~eats, and some
times cold numbness in my limbs.
MY trouble was sciatic rheumatism
complicated with grip and at times /
could not raise my foot two inches from
the floor. The rheumatism grew grad
ually worse as my system was weakened
by the poison the grip had left in my
body. About this time n friend of mine
who lives in Cortland recommended DIR.

Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treat
ment and the patient frequently suffers
for years. DR.. Williams Pink Pills do
not simply relieve pain but they cure
diseases caused by depraved or vitiated
blood. They actually make new blood
and have therefore direct and power

rheumatism, an9mia, general debility,
after-effects of the grip, neuralgia, par

WINTER SHOEING.
High calks a Frequent Source of Lame
ness In Horses

BY WILLIAM DICKSON. V. 8.
In the winter shoeing of the horse In
many sectiGlis of the country the shoe
Is required to discharge a double duty
In the case of all classes of horses-to
afford foo thold as well as guard
against undue wear. The common pat
tern of shoes fashioned with toe and
heel calkins. or calks, faulty though it
be, is probably the one that best suits
the requirements of the case.
1t should. however. never be lost
sight of that the shorter, sharper and
smaller the calkins are so long as they
answer their purpose the better for
the foot that wears them. 1t is only
from that portion of the catch which
enters the ground surface that the
horse derives any benefit In the shape
of foothold. Long calkins which do
not penetrate the hard, uneven ground
are SO many levers to compel the ami
NAL to ring his feet. rack his limbs
and lnhict untold tortures on himself.
| am of opinion that the presence of
navicular disease. a dire malady from
which horses used In agricultural Ia
Dor should enjoy practical immu

use during our long winter months of

Why Many People Will Stick to This
Profitable Industry.
Every one admits that II it were not
for the unnatural losses that have been
sustained in the past few years much
profit could he made from growing
turkeys. But these losses are to some
extent chargeabe to conditions that
may improve Mt any time, aud Just
when the dlsheartened are going out Of
the turkey industry in favor of APP
parently better things is good time
for some folks to get grip upon ii
and lien on the good profits that the
narrowed supply seems likely to In
sure
In the west and southwest under or
dlnarly good conditions and with
proper management turkeys can he
easily and cheaply grown, and prob
ably no poultry stock returns more
profit to the successful producer any
where than turkeys. The question Of
profit from keeping turkeys simply re
solves itself into the ability of the
grower to bring them to a marketable
size
The fact that turkeys from the time
they are six weeks old until winter
sets In will gain the greater part Of
their entire living from bugs, grass
hoppers and waste grain that they
pick up In their wanderings over the
range assures their existence through
this period at little or no cost to the
grower They may be termed self sus-
tanning foragers where they have sutti-
Client ranges.
Independent of the condition of the
large markets, there is an opportunity
for the smaller growers who live near
towns and villages to dress their tur-
keys and sell them to private custom
ers. and there are many people who
are willing to pay good price for
birds OF superior quality.
Among the half a dozen main va
rieties of turkeys the Bronze and the
Narragansett are the big turkeys. But
OF late much Improvement has been
made in the white turkeys. which are

THE FAT OF THE YEAR.
Wealth the Farms Have Turned Out 10
This Nation.

Wealth the Farms Have Turned Out to
This Nation.
1.-THE farm production for 1907 is
well up to the average in quantity.
while its value is much above that Of
any preceding year. The farmer will
this year have more money to spend
and more to invest than he ever had
before out Of his years work" That
is Secretary Wilson's opening state
ment In his eleventh annual report,
and some other pleasant items are as
follows:
1.-The starch OF corn becomes the fat
of the hog and the finish OF the steer. p"
thus becoming great factor In the
production of meats and meat prod
ucts for export While not as large
as that of 1906. the value of the corn
crop of 1907 is greater and is 20 per
cent above the average value of the
crops of the preceding five years
The wheat crop of 1907 is 625.576.-
600 bushels, 5 per cent less than the
average quantity for the FIVE preceding
years. But the value is about $500
100000. or 5la per cent more than the
average, although the crops of 1901.
1902 and 1905 had each n slightly
higher value than that of this year
The seven cereal crops produced
4, 135. 100000 bushels. showing a loss
Of 214,O0O,0O0 bushels, or 8 per cent
below the five year average. the loss
being chiefly due to oats. The total
value is $2,37SOO0.00o This exceeds
1906 by 1896 100000 and Is 81 per cent
above the average.
During the fiscal year 1907 the ex-
ports of farm products exceeded the
imports by $444. 100000, balance that
has been exceeded only four times
in $685. 1899. 1901 and 1902.
Cotton Crop.
In Halue the cotton crop OF 1907,
estimated to be from $3.50, 100000 to
$675, 600, 600. takes third place, II In the
final estimates 1t does not displace hay
for second rank. The commercial ex-
pectatfons are that the crop will be
found to be the third one In size ever
raised and perceptibly larger than the
average crop Of the previous Ave years.
Though its farm value is probably a
little below that of last years crop, In
other respects 1t win be the most valu-
able cotton crop ever raised In this
country and per cent above the aver
age farm value of the crops OF the
previous five years.
Dairy and Poultry
The dairy products OF the country
alone were worth nearly SS00,0OO,OO0
in 1907. or much more than any crop
save corn. Prices of both butter and
milk have advanced.
The poultry and egg products for
1907 should he estimated at more than
5000. 100000 in value. In fact. these
products were worth more than the
wheat crop.
