old Missouri State Road.

One of the oldest landmarks in this part of Missouri Is the old Blooming ton road, also known as the old State road. This road began in the eastern part of North Missouri, running west through Bloomington. It didn't run on section lines as the roads now run, but ran as the crow flies. The highway was the main thoroughfare through North Missouri long before and after the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad was built and has a history not we'll known to the younger generation. Over this old time highway the early gold seekers travelled in OK wagons with their little earthly belongings, going to California and Oregon.-Brooklyn Ga zetta.

Feeding Horses.
~OO0NO0O@c

It might be said that grass is the natural ration for the horse, but when confined to a barn and also when worked, the animal needs a more strengthening and nutritious food. To feed properly there must be a mixed diet. The intention of the food Is 10 supply heat and muscle. but not an oversupply Of fat.
 The quantity of food given should be based on the amount of work the horse has done-the more work the greater the amount of food that should be given.
 The foods that are generally fed arc hay, grass, corn, oats, barley, rye bran. carrots, turnips and apples. Of the grains oats is best, with corn sec. ond, but both are improved If fed in a crushed state. Oats build up the mus cles, make blood and put nerve and endurance in the horse On account of the price, oats are not generally used, and In such cases care must be taken that the hay given Is rather rich in protein.
 Corn and timothy hay are of heat ing nature and hard on the digestion causing the animal to perspire free ly. If corn is literally used. some bran. with clover or some well-cured pea-vina hay, or clover with corn, will help balance up the ration and keep the digestive organs in healthy state In feeding green food care must be taken.

go to waste. as well as numerous in- sects that should be destroyed, so that much of their food should not really be figured as expense at all.
 But there is a greater risk of loss in raising chickens and the cost of labor per pound of finished product Is more than with sheep or hogs. Then you must credit eggs produced, which complicates the problem until you get a headache. The net returns, accord. ing to capital invested and cost of maintenance, however, leaves a greater profit from poultry than any other farm live stock. If farmer would keep close account of the income from his poultry, including the amount of eggs and butter consumed at home, he would be surprised at the returns.- Agricultural Epitomist.

suit of his feed, the horse loses about half the grain by reason of the fact that it is thrown over the top of the bag.
 The nose bag shown in the accom- panying cut Is of recent invention and is designed to overcome this trouble. The feed supply is contained in res eryoir which is secured to the bridls and is suspended between the animals eyes. The feed flows down of its own weight into a saucer-like receptacle which Is. held under the animals mouth. The feed Is always in reach and there is no occasion for the pain full gymnastics which are so common ly seen under the circumstances.

Both Jerseys and Guernseys give rich milk. upon which the cream quickly rises. Durhams and Ayrshires give milk of an average rich ness, upon which the cream slowly rises. Holstein cows are noted for giy- ing a large quantity of milk in which there Is a small proportion of fat.

A 9ouD BED.

 Half Our Lifetime in Bed.

Important Because We spend Neariy
 Half Our Lifetime in Bed.
 There are many people who cannot afford the luxuries of life, or who do not care for the vanities who thor ougbly enjoy solid comforts. Among thea solid comforts Is a good bed. A good bed cannot be had without some expense. You must have good steel springs as a foundation for the bed and should buy only those of the best quality. Over this you must have a good soft hair mattress. When I was
 No'' nv mother was very proud of her feather beds of which she had k.4Ga.s d uozen made from the feath. CTS of geese that were raised upon our own farm. How many times I have done duty in catching these geese. have had lame arms for weeks where I have been struck by the strong wings of these birds. But feather beds are no longer popular since they retain the heat of the body and are too soft and warm tending to make the sleeper indolent and lacking in energy. The covering of beds should be as light as possible. Heavy com. fOrtables oppress the sleeper. Many people cover themselves in bed with too many quilts and blankets. Simply cover yourself enough to keep com. fortably warm and you will rest much better Among we'll to do people iron bedsteads have taken the place of all others. A furniture dealer told me that he sold a car load of iron bedsteads where he sold one wooden bedstead. Iron beds are less cumbersome, are more attractive, cleanly and airy. The bed as well as the room should be thoroughly aired each day. Perhaps you do not realize that you spend nearly half of your life time in bed. How important then that the sanitary arrangements Should be carefully looked after. and in par. ticular the ventilation.

 It Is customary to regard tubercu losis as a disease affecting the lungs only, but as matter of fact 1t may attack any of the organs or tissues of the body.
 When the bones or joints are affect ed, the disease is called surgical tuber culosis, because 1t Is then amenable to mechanical treatment, or may even be extirpated by the surgeons knife.
 The joints most frequently attacked are the spine, the hip and the knee although no joint is exempt. Tuber- culosis seldom originates in the joint, but Is usually preceded by trouble in a neighboring bone, in the lungs glands of the neck, or other more or less remote part.
 The symptoms of tuberculous ar. thritis, or tuberculosis of the joints, vary somewhat according to the joint involved, but as a type one may take tuberculosis of the knee, formerly called white swelling"
 The first frank symptoms of inflam. nation are often preceded by feel. ing of weakness in the joint. The child-for 1t is the young who chiefly suffer from these troubles-walks a little stiff1y or with a slight limp, and "favors" the knee. When questioned why he does not run about as former. ly, he will usually say he does not know-and he does not, for there Is no pain at this time, and at most, if he is pressed, he will say his leg Is tired"
 Soon pain appears, usually indefinite in location, and often referred to some part other than the diseased joint. Then, as the disease declares itself, the knee will be- seen to be swollen, and pain Is now caused by motion, so that the little patient keeps the leg slightly bent and rigid. There Is often night-crying; the child cries out sharp ly in his sleep, but may not waken; or he may wake and whimper for a time and then fall off to sleep again, and again in few minutes or a few hours give another scream.
 Tuberculosis of the knee may as- sume one of three forms. That seen most frequently in adults Is dropsy, the joint being distended with fluid. The most common form Is the so-cau- ed white swelling" In this the joint Is distended with a soft, spongy, run- gus-like growth, the skin over 1t be- ing stretched and white. The third form is suppurative arthritis, com. monly following the second form. The is usually by rendering the joint immovable; sometimes by clean. ing out the contents. If pus forms; and rarely by cutting out the diseased part.
 Life in the open air day and night, especially by the seaside, does as much good for joint tuberculosis as open-air life farther inland or in the noun. tains does for consumption of the lungs.

And tell me now what makes thee sing With voice so loud and free, While am sad, though I'm the King, Beside the River Dee?" The miller smiled and doffed his cap: T earn my bread" quote he; T love my wife. love my friend. love my children three.

on corn at all. Corn is said to contain about 50 per cent of starch and per cent of oil. both being very digestible. Oil makes fat and the starch produces heat and also fat. On account of it's heat producing power 1t is inadvisabls to feed corn.

Poultry Profits.

The cost of food required to produce pound of beef. pork or chicken does not differ greatly, although chicken sells for 12 to 20 cents a pound by the carcass, while other meats sell at from 4 to 8 cents. This difference'is further increased on the farm from the fact that poultry picks up good deal of material that would otherwise
