Boston.-The market today consisted
entirely in evening up contracts for

the metal market are coming better
every day and copper should sell at
Is cents before the end of January.

Cav & sturgis says.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 30.-The market
opened strong with a great deal of
manipulation evident in many issues.
A very sharp advance in call money
rates incidental to this time of year
caused lessening of enthusiasm and
a rather soft close. Tomorrow's mar

but the general expectation is that
next week will see higher prices unless

Give Pios Salt and Ashes.

Bv experienced breeders it is
deemed advisable to keep salt and
ashes where pigs can have ready &C
cess to them.
After pigs begin to eat grain they
will visit the salt and ashes after
every feed or oftener. 1t has been
found profitable to keep he mixture
in a self-feeder, in which bucket
full of the mixture can be kept dry
and from which the pigs can get it
from an opening at the bottom.
By this arrangement there is saw
ing of labor and the pigs never get
so hungry for it as to eat too much,
as is the case when salt and ashes
are given only occasionally.
The wisdom of this practice has
been corroborated by numerous very
satisfactory tests. Pigs fed corn meal
with salt and water get very fat in a
short time, but soon fail to improve.
Pigs fed corn meal, hardwood ashes,
salt and water do better and make
better growth of bone. Pigs having
ashes make better bone and better
gain.
In the absence of ashes ground bone
may be profitably fed.

Taking the west as whole, it will be

East of the Missouri river about as
many lambs will be raised as last

stock sheep during the summer and

and Ohio will have as many lambs If

nessee not having increased breeding

AS a portion of the western lamb
crop was held back last fall, owing to
a rise in wool and a demoralized live
mutton market, heavy and early run
of fat grass yearlings may be expect
ed, especially if prices prove attrac-
tive. Prospects for much better prices
quoted during the corresponding peri
cd of 1908 are excellent. Feed lots
will be emptied much earlier than
usual and butchers will be hungry for
mutton.

NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBlN
Come to Think of 1t, He Would Have
Felt Funny Sitting in the
Position Indicated.

The family horse, who rejoiced in
the eminently proper equine name of
Dobbin, had earned a rest by long
service, and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
Ginning years in the broad pastures of
a farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-old,
viewed the passing of Dobbin with un-
feigned sorrow. She sat for long
time gazing disconsolately out of the
window. At last, after a deep sigh,
she turned with a more cheerful ex-
preston, and said:
did old Dobbin go on the choo-
choo cars, mammal"

Neglect and lack of proper food in

Every animal makes its largest pei

time when food pays the greatest pei

colt to go through the winter or

Shutdown doctors" are an instftu-
ton peculiar to Washington city.
They are an amiable company of
medical practitioners who ply their
trade only after nightfall.
Not that these gentlemen prefer
darkness to light if they had their
d'ruthers, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, nor are their deeds of ques-
tionable complexion that looks best
in the shade.
Shutdown doctors have no ways that
are dark or tricks that are vain. They
are as open as the day that they may
not utilize :. If they practice their
profession by candle-light rather than
by the sunshine that's uncle Sans
fault, not their own.
Shutdown doctors begin to get busy
only after 1880 in the afternoon.
From 9 to that hour, poor souls, they
are holding their noses to the grind
stones over the government desks, for
one must live, don't you know, how
ever soaring ones scientific ambition,
and Uncle Sans wages do come In
mighty regular and handy. So that in
a pigeonhole is the story of the origin
of the struggling fraternity OF sun
down physicians of the federal capital.
There are thousands of instances.
Young physicians with their careers
vet to carve secure clerkships In some
of the governmental departments OF
Washington in order to keep the pot
bubbling while they are getting their
medical education after Office hours.
Their diplomas thus laboriously
achieved, they hang out their shingles
tentatively, holding fast, however, to
their government positions until Sc
curely established professionally. A

tured patierts. Never let go sure

NOTES CONCERNING THE HoRs

Sow a good patch of carrots for the
horses.
When two horses become accus
toned to working together, dom
change them.
In matching up the work teams
mate them in size, weight and dispo
sition as nearly as possible.
It is very hard on a prompt horse tt
be obliged to work with lazy one.
The wear and tear is great and un
necessary, and loss.
Never tolerate a man on the farm
who yanks, kicks or whips a horse.
In no case should the colt be al
lowed to follow when the mare is a.
work.
Do not bang the bits against the
horses teeth. Be patient and he will
open his month.
Break your colts to walk downhill
Now, that may mean that you will
have to break yourself first, for il
seems to be natural to hurry horses
downhill. 1t is bad plan.
Don't toggle your harnesses up with
strings. No surer way to invite
trouble; have everything stout.
Get a first-class horse dentist tt
look over the teeth Of every horse or
| the farm, young and old.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lackFof bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense q
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
OF brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, C. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.
