KEEP STOCK IN CONDITION.
No Time Of Year When They Should
Be Let Run Down.

When? Right now-to-day and to-
morrow and all the time till 1t comes
time to let the cattle out to pasture.
Sometimes we may get little care
less about this. So many men say:
What hurt does it do to let the cows
go with scant rations for a few weeks
in winter? By-and-by they will go out
to pasture and then they can gain up
again. 1t will not cost so much to
would now, and feed costs so in Win
teri"
OF course feed costs. That ia a
foregone conclusion. If we keep
stock, however, ought we not to be
prepared to do the fair thing by it?
There are some of the best reasons
why, from our own standpoint, we
should do this. One of these is, that
IL we turn the cattle out in spring
poor and weak it will take so long
to get them up in good shape to do
their best that we shall lose more
than we shall gain by scrimping now.
We are learning that cattle are sure
to take the feed we give them if they
are lean and in poor rig and lay it on
their backs, first of all; then after
they are in good condition they will
apply the surplus to the milk-pail 1t
Is always the surplusi> that we get.
And there will be no surplus if we
keep our COWS just on the verge of
hunger.
The Farmers Voice we'll says that 1t
is the cow which has been kept well
that puts the money in our pockets.
Cows poorly treated are our farm
charges, to be maintained at the cost
OF what the best COWS do. There
should be no such charges; every COW
should be producer.

LABOR OF THE HORSE,
How 1t Can Be Made to Make Up for
Lack of Hired Help.

Some one has figured out that 1t
costs on the average only one-half as
much to feed horse as 1t does to feed
a man, and that the horse will do ten
times the amount of work that it is
possible for the man to do. If this
estimate is correct, then a dollars
worth OF food given the horse will
produce 20 times as much results as
the same amount of money will if ex-
pended in feed for a man. Therefore,
when man domesticated the horse he
immensely increased his own power of
securing results, When much farm
work Is to be done there should al
ways be enough horses to do It,.
Farmers try to economize on the num-
ber of horses and have to leave much
work undone. In the event of hired
help being scarce, it is sometimes
possible to Offset this lack by increas-
Ing the number of horses kept. In
some parts of the west and northwest,
declares the Farmers Review, the
scarcity of help has resulted in more
horses being used. Five are hitched
to double plow, and one driver is
thus enabled to turn two burrows at a
time and practically double the work
that one man has to do. This is the
result of the complete utilization of
horsefiesh.

very important purpose. Were it
not for this light gate we would find it
necessary to keep the door closed be-
tween the horse stable and buggy
room, thus shutting off ventilation.
The gate is hinged onto the rolling
door with light strap hinges, explains
writer in Prairie Farmer, so that
when the gate is not in use it swings
around and fastens to the large door
out Of the way.
For material in making the gate we
use inch strips of good pine for the
horizontal pieces. The upright pieces
are light strips gotten out for fence
pickets.
I find a light gate of this character
a good thing to keep poultry out of
the barn during the summer months.

Instructions to the Jury in Pennsyl-

Harrisburg, Pa, March 13.-The
capitol conspiracy case in which John
Sanderson, a Philadelphia furniture
dealer and contractor, former Auditor
General w. P. Snyder; former State
Treasurer w. L. Matthues and James
M. Shumaker, former superintendent
Of the board Of grounds and buildings,
are charged with defrauding the state
the jury today. The arguments were
concluded today and Judge Kunkel
gave final instructions to the jurors,
who have patiently listened to testi-
mony and speeches since January 27.
The present case constituted one of
the longest jury trials in the history
of Pennsylvania courts and It attracted
much attention throughout the state.
The prosecution Of the alleged capitol
frauds Is the Indirect outcome of the
phia, in 1905, which resulted in the
fall Of that year in the election of w
II. Berry, Democrat, to the office of
state treasurer. After Berry took Of

state treasury showed that the capitol
instead of costing 100000 had act

investigation followed and the findings
Of the investigators were to the effect
that great frauds were committed in

building. The case was laid before
the attorney general VINO DeGWl pro-

After the case of the four defend

COOPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF

With a theory that human health is
dependent on the stomach and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. T. Cooper, a comparatively
young man. has built up an immense
following during the past year.
Cooper has visited most Of the lead
ing cities of the country, and in each
CITY has aroused a storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone. people have
called upon him by tens OF thousands.
and his preparations has sold in i'm
nense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and is
growing enormously each day. In view
of this the following statements from
two of the great number of followers
which he now has, are of general in
terest.
Mrs. Agnes Viggenhouser, of 942 st.

lowing to say on the subject of the
Cooper preparations: For more than

DR.. BROAD IS DEAD.
Well Known Kansas Church Worker
Victim of Paralysis.

Rev. L. Payson Broad, a Congrega-
tional missionary of national repute,
and who was for. 80 years connected
with the work of the Congregational
churches in Kansas, most of which time
was spent in Topeka as superintendent
of the Kansas Home Missionary soci-
ETY., died last night in the Presbyter-
ian hospital at Atlanta, Ga. Mr.. Broad
was stricken with paralysis about three
weeks ago While in Atlanta on mis-
sionary work and was removed to the
hospital in that city, where his death
occurred.
Mr.. Broad was a pioneer in the mis-
sion work of the Congregational church
in Kansas. He came to Kansas In
1878 after having spent several years
in missionary work in other states.
After coming to this state he accept
ed a call as pastor of the First Con-
gregational church at Paola, which
was then one of the leading churches
in the state. He continued in this pas
torate for six years. In 1884, Mr.. Broad
was elected state evangelist Tor the
Congregational churches of the state.
He held this position but short time,
however, until he was called to the
position of superintendent OF nome
missions in Kansas.
IT was in the work of this position
that Mr.. Broad became connected with
Topeka as he maintained his head
quarters in this city. The position OF
superintendent of home missions is the
highest position in the Congregational
church in this state, as 1t gives
general oversight over the work of all
the churches in the state. Mr.. Broad 8
work in this connection was potent
factor in the upbuilding of the Congre-
gational churches. He was held IN the
highest respect and admiration
throughout the entire state for the
work which he had done to further
the interests of his church.
Probably the most noticeable achieve
rnent during the career of Mr.. Broad In
Kansas was the segregation of the
work Of the Kansas Home Missionary
society from the work Of the national
organization. For many years the work
of the Congregational church in Kan
sas was supported by eastern benefac-
tors It was Mr. Broad's highest am
bition to place the work OF the church
in Kansas upon self-supportlng
basis and this ambition was realized
"a. couple of years before his departure
from the state. Now the Congregation
al church in Kansas receives no out
side aid whatever except in the form
of benefactions for the two Congre-
gational schools of the state, Wash
burn and Paramount.
In 1900 Mr.. Broad resigned his posi-
ton in Kansas and accepted a posi-
ton as field worker with the National
CONGREGATIONAL Home Missionary soci-
ETY.. For many years before leaving
Kansas Mr.. Broad was afflicted with

Is as follows: 81 have had stomach

afflicted this way knows what an awful
