BRED FOR CONSUMPTION,


Hogs are bred for consumption, and
an imperfect animal of full-blood
breed of swine is more valuable for
the shambles than to reserve for 4
producer. Many inexperienced men
went into the breeding business when
stock was selling at inflated prices
and will close out their herds when
values are at the bottom. Any farm
err who is qualified as breeder and
will invest in pure bred swine now
is fully protected by current prices
from future losses. Values are sure
to rally. The breeder who starts a
herd now is sure, to profit by the
advance, as pure bred hogs are sta
pie animals and will sell hiSaa"-

TELLING THE BIRDS HEALTH.
DR.. Salmon, of the New York B,.
reau of Animal Industry lays down
this rule for telling the health OF
the bird by it's droppings: "The con-
dition of the droppings furnish 4
good indication of the hens health.
They should be of sufficient consis-
tency to hold their shape. but shoul,l
not be too solid In color they should
be dark. tapering off INTO grayish
white. If the drcopings are soft CT
pasty and of a yellowish or brown
ish color, it indicates too much car
bohydrates or lack of meat. If on
the other hand. the droopings are
watery and dark with red splashes
of mucus in them, it indicates too
much meat A greenish watery
diarrhea usually indicates unsanitary
conditions, either in the surroundings

DID YOU EVER TRY THIS?
Most people think the horse has no
use for horse radish, but writer
says he once knew market gardener
who had lot OF leaves and other
waste from the horse. radish. and not
having any other use for them he
gave them to his horses. One of the
horses was very badly broken wind
ed, but the feed of horse radish ef-
fected a complete cure. This is
cheap remedy, and We should like to
see it tried so as to prove its efficacy.

PICKING OUT THE LAYERS.

PICKING OUT THE LAYERS.
Dairymen, to make the greatest
profit, build up their herds through
careful breeding. careful buying and
unmerciful culling. They do not ask
the good ones to average up a record
for the poor ones.
This some 'cOmmonsense" plan
can be profitably applied to the poul-
try business.
Hens that lay 200 eggs in year
should not be averaged at $50 eggs
with hens that lay 100 eggs.
A dairyman Uses care in breeding,
il he buys, there are certain marks
that govern the price, the shade from
the end of the nose to the end of the
tail Is taken into account. the small
feminine neck and head have a value
and clear down line Of points he
makes his estimate, the very same
rules and the very same principles
apply to the highest point in poultry
raising.
Any experienced, clcse-observing
poultry raiser knows at glance, the
laying hen. The small feminine neck
and head count again. the bright, alert
eye tells tale, the dropping tail
tells another tale and when she picks
her feet up and pumps them down
we have another pointer.
A very few club-headed, thick-necked
steer-horned COWS are any good. Even
with the COW the tail tells a tale.
the heavy clubtail seldom follows
good COW, while on the other hand,
a slim tail is one of the characteris-
tics Of a good one.-Farmers Alliance.

UNCLE JOE AN ISSUE.

Uncle Joe Cannon is "A principal Is

throughout the nation. republicans as

come To represent a system. more OF
less devilish. to which has been given
the name Of "Cannonism." While in

so black as painted. and. in fact, is
not black at all. some of the regular

ents as to that assertion. And these

is no doubt that the Iron man OF
American politics" finds himself facing
the crucial moment of his career.
However. Speaker Cannon does not
appear to be unduly alarmed. He has
a few cards up his sleeve, and he
intends to play them early in the
game. He has been looking up the
records Of the leaders among the in
surgents and printing himself for the
fray. Here is what he has to say for
himself:
Early i'm the session l intend to
call a friend of mine 10 the chair and

present rampage is hypocrisy. Some

each one of these 300 or more remedies
contained and that they sold Rexall

that they would not cost the user a
single cent they were believed.
Ever since this announcement the
Vastbindcr & Read store has been
largely patronized by people buying
Rexall Remedies, all of which proves
that this store has the confidence of
the people and that honesty Is the best
policy.
There is no "cure all" among the
Rexall Remedies. There are different
and separate medicines, each one de-
vised for a certain human aiIment or p
class Of ailments closely allied For
instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
recommended for the positive relief of
stomach irritation, indigestion. natu-
lency and dyspepsia. They are rich in
Bismuth- Subnltrate. Pepsin and Car
minatives. They are prepared by spe-
cial processes which perfect and en-
hance the great remedial value Of
these well-known medicinal agents.
This remedy sells for 25 cents. so cents
