Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic Is both a
preventative and cure for sore
Jhroat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water, used as gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

CARING FOR THE "DRY" COWS
No Profit in Allowing Animals to Run
Down in Flesh During Winter
Should Have Grain.
(By w. M. Kelley

(By w NJ. Kelley
I know dairymen who do not feed
shippers or dry COWS any grain food
during the winter until they freshen
late in the winter or early spring.
This may be cheap way Of roughing
them through the winter, but such
methods have never returned profit
on the writer's farm.
| know that it seems loss to feed
dry cows, but it Is not so much ques-
ton as to whether a farmer can af-
ford to feed them grain as 1t is
whether or not he can afford to have
them become run down in flesh and
be unable to give a good yield Of milk
after they freshen in the spring.
Two pounds Of good wholesome
grain food day to each COW will help
wonderfully and in connection with
good ensilage and clover hay will main
tain her in very good condition.
We have found early cut clover hay
one of the best winter feeds for dairy
cattle. We have often changed from
clover to timothy hay and invariably
the yield of milk would fall Off.
Well cured clover hay comes nearer
to being a balanced food than any
other one crop we grow on our farms.
If the cow could hold enough clover
hay we would not need to feed any
thing else, but she likes variety and
does decidedly better when fed ensil.
age with her clover hay. Corn ensil-
age adds palatability and succulence
to the ration and makes it easier to
masticate and digest than dry fodder
The silo Is also a great saver of la
Dor and barn room and four tons of
corn ensilage can be stored In the
space occupied by one ton of hay.
The dairyman who Is without a
sflo to provide succulence during the
winter months Is certainly up against
hard proposition.

Cover for Milk Box.

The cans are usually kept beneath the
water by slipping strips of board of
proper length, over the tops of the
cans and under lodges at the side of
the box. In using this method one
runs the risk of upsetting the cans
when putting the strips in position.
An improvement over this method is
shown in the accompanying sketch
which is self-explanatory. The appara-
tus is made Of strips Of board, one
inch thick The lower sketch shows

As to the Frank.

In a discussion of the franking priv
ilege Senator Money, the leader of the
minority, remarked: THE frank is a
great privilege" He went on to ex-
patiate, but what he said was lost in
the remark of a gallery occupant,
who got in with the statement that
"the frank Is to help to get men back
to congress-" When one observes the
quantities of documents being sent
out under frank from the national
capital he is inclined to agree with
the man who made that statement

SKIM CREAM WITH SYPH0M
Handy Little Implement Devised That

A New York man has devised a sy-
removing cream from milk, which
1t will do expeditiously, no matter what
kind of receptacle the milk is in. The
syphon comprises an enlarged cham

a cup is placed at the side of the pitch

Milk at regular periods.
Clean the dairy stable each day.
Good butter Is always in demand.
Do not wet the hands at milking
time.
Feed the COWS either before or after
milking.
The dairy barn should always be
neat and clean.
The cow does not require animal
foods; the hen does.
Do not allow the mich COW to be-
come dirty from lack of bedding.
Thousands of young pigs are annu-
ally lost through lack Of exercise.
One should not try his hand at i'm
proving his herd by cross-breeding.
1t is not so much in the breed of
fowl or animal as in the care in feed
Even with the greatest care 1t Is
hard to keep the COW stable ventilated
as it should be.
Do not allow any foul air around
the cow stable or places where milk
and cream are kept.
Last year Canada shipped into the
United States 369,917 younds Of
cheese and 1,111,32 pounds of butter
No COW should be kept that will not
bring in SO month at present prices
and she ought to do better than that.
If you have plenty of silage no dan
ger of the milk flow falling off. II
you haven't you will have learned a
lesson.
Be sure that the cows receive plen-
ty of exercise. Allow them to run
in the open yards during the pleasant
part Of the day.

(CHAPTER xii.-Continued.)

'T have come back for you!" he
breathed.
She shuddered against his breast,
and he raised her face between his
two hands and kissed her until she
drew away from him, crying softly.
You must wait-you must waltz"
He saw now in her face an agony
that appalled, him. He would have
gone to her again, but there came
loud voices from the forest, and re-
covering his pistol he sprang to the
door. Half a hundred PAGES away
were Obadiah and the kings sheriffs.
They had stopped and the councillor
was expostulating excitedly with the
men, evidently trying to keep them
from the cabin. Suddenly one of the
three broke past him and ran swift
ly toward the open door, and with a
shrek of warning to Nathaniel the
old councillor drew a pistol and fired
point blank in the sheriff's back. In
another instant the two men behind
lad fired and Obadiah fell forward
upon his face.
With a yell of rage Nathaniel leaped
from the door. He heard Marion cry
out his name, but his fighting blood
was stirred and he did not stop. Oba-
diah had given up his life for him,
desire to wreak vengeance upon the
murderers. The first man lay where
he had fallen, with Obadiah's bullet
through his back. The other two fired
again as Nathaniel rushed down upon
them. He heard the zip of one of
the balls, which came so close that
it stung his cheek.
Take that" he cried.
He fired, still running twice
three times and one of the two men
crumpled down as though a powerful
blow had broken his legs under him.
The other two turned into the path
and ran. Nathaniel caught glimpse
of a frightened, boyish face, and some
thing of mercy prompted him to hold
the shot he was about to send through
his lungs.
Stop" he shouted Stop
He aimed at the fugitiye's legs and
fred.
Stop"
The boyish sheriff was lengthening
the distance between them and Ma
thaniel halted to make sure of his
last ball. He was about to shoot when
there came a sharp command from
down the path and a file of men
burst into view, running at double
quick He saw the flash of a saber
the CLEAN of brass buttons, the blue
glare of the setting sun on leveled
carbines, and he stopped, shoulder tC
shoulder with the man he had been
pursuing. For a moment he stared
as the man with the naked saber ap
preached. Then he sprang toward him
with joyful cry of recognition.
"Sherly-Lieutenant Sherly-don't
you know me?"
The lieutenant had dropped the
point of his saber. He advanced q
step, his face filled with astonish
ment.
