Cured Rheuma tism.

Nearly everybody is susceptible to
twinge OF rheumatism. sciatica, tooth
ache, headache or neuralgia, and it's
never safe to be without good rem
edy for an emergency of this kind.
No matter what kind of pain you
have the beneficial effect of Sloan's
Liniment is immediate. You lay it on
lightly-no rubbing whatever and a
pleasant warmth is felt at once. The
Liniment penetrates right to the bone
and quickly stops the pain.

ter, and water and feeding is a bet.
ter way to mix it than at the pump,
as a due proportion is obtained in
this way.
Why not select good cows as we
| select good seed corn and wheat?
There are poor results when this
rule is not applied to cows as well
as seed.
1t is said that 10000 COWS are now
MIXED with machinery. The milk
ing machine when found all right
will go into general use as cream
separators have.
Good pure dairy salt is as essential
to good butter making as pure water
is to health. Any kind of salt won't
do for good butter, but it will do
for the poor stuff that sells at half
price.
The training of a colt cannot be
too thorough; a half broken horse
is net broken at all, and is always
dangerous animal.
It takes the farm work and the
farm conditions to SUCCESSFULLY raise
draft horses with grain feed and
handling for maturity and the devel-
opment of draft horse size.
Dairy cows are like machines in
that they are bred for either milk
or butter as a specially. They do
much better in their own line Of
performance than if they are bred
for both.
A good dairy cow Is developed by
intelligent breeding and feeding. 1t
takes seven years of steady, watch
full attention after birth to bring u
cow to her best in the production OF
milk.
