prairie at his own sweet will be

Brother William because he was the
only Quaker and the only avowed
advocate of peace in Torinda, which
squatted on the borders of Iowa
and Missouri, and existed for two or
three years before it knew to which
State it belonged.
Most of us who made it were old
soldiers, who had stopped there at
the end of the Civil War because it
was the handiest place on what was
then the frontier. We were from
both sides, and in that first winter
there was scarcely man who could
boast an overcoat that was not
either blue or gray and adorned
with brass buttons. Sometimes,
forgetting that the war was over,
we fought among ourselves, still
trying to decide that stubbornly
contested dispute; but Brother
William never fought, and was the
greatest peacemaker that ever lived

That Tired Feeling

That you have day in and out,
whether you work or not, is a tired
feeling that healthy people don't
have.
1t is most common at this time of
year-upon the return of warm wea-
ther-but it comes from a rundown
condition of the system in which the
blood is impure or impoverished
1t is burdensome and discouraging.
Hoods Sarsaparila and Pills posi-
lively remove it; they purify and en-
rich the blood, tone the organs and
build up the whole system.
Thousands of people know this by
experience.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pills will
make you feel better, look better, eat
and sleep better. Accept no substi-
tutes.

Cow Makes Butter Record.

Minneapolis. Announcement is
made by Professors L. L. Hacker
and G. p. Grout of the Minneapo-
lis Agricultural School that the
worlds record for thirty-day but
ter production has been captured
by Minnesota COW. The new
champion is Pieterje Maid Ormsbv;
she is 6-year-old Holstein.
During thirty days in April she
produced 1866 pounds of butter
from 2,567.S pounds of milk. The
best previous record, held by Col
antha Fourth Johanna, owned by
Gillette & Son of Rosendale, Wis. ,
was 1880 pounds of butter. For
a seven-day test, the Irwin animal
made a new Minnesota record,
with 35. Sc pounds of butter, and
this test is only second to the
worlds record.
Greatest possible precautions
were taken to secure an accurate
test, and the result cannot be chal-
lenged. Edward Field of Minnea-
polls, a student in the State Agri-
cultural college, conducted the test,
remaining in the barn day and
night for the thirty days. He sat
by each milking. The COW was
fed and MIXED four times a day.
at $3.50 a. M, 1l:30 a. M, $50
p. M, and 1880 y. m. At each
milking Mr.. Field weighed the
pail and sat beside the mixer to
see that nothing could be slipped
into the pail. When the pail was
filled he weighed it and then tool
a sample to test it for butter fat.
To insure complete accuracy, the
samples were retested by Profes-
sors Hacker and Grout.
The champion dairy COW of the
world is a wonderful animal. At
the conclusion of the test she
weighed 1920 pounds, 10 of
more than eighty pounds darIng
the thirty days, but she is s.ll in
superb physical condition.
Pieterjc Maid Ormsbv is .lued
at $4,000, and one Of her calves
was sold recently TO New York
breeder for 81, 800.

Baby Beef.

Young fat cattle are now in
great demand. The trouble with
most farmers who raise yearlings
is that they do not feed them the
first year, only let them run on
pasture and the first winter carry
them oyer on dry fodder and hay.
The fact is, this is the time the
calves should be fed all they will
eat. The fact is, from the time
they are weaned from milk. say at
six weeks of age, they should be
t ught to consume all they will
eat, the idea of trying to get them
along on as little as will support
them results only in a stunted
scrub. A calf should be taught
to eat grain before it is weaned
and the ensuing summer it sho aid
lave a regular and full allowance
OF grain, corn, oats, bran or cot
tonseed meal SO as to develop the
whole frame and at all times
should be what is called fat.
Most farmers would call this
waste of feed, but a good trial
would change their minds. 1t is
the best form of utilizing feed.
Then after pasturing and feeding
all summer the calves should be
put in close feed lot and fatten-
ed on clover or alfalfa hay, corn.

ReciprocitY.


tChriStian Science Monitor)
In the United States an extreme
view of the reciprocity agreement
reached by the American and Cana
dian commissioners. and now awaiting
Legislative approval. is that it will
eventually and inevitably lead to alb
solute free trade between the two
countries. In England the extreme
view. as expressed, for instance by the
London Morning Post of this date. is
that it will lead to political union.
In our opinion it will do neither. For
many years-in fact, ever since the
expiration of the old reciprocity
treaty. which was reciprocal only in a
degree e-there has been among a large
class on both sides of the line a desire
