than a dollar. They are worn out,
too, at the rate of a pair day for
each man who is husking.
The way some of the town sports
men rig themselves out when they
come out in the country to hunt is
ridiculous. They spend about $50 for
"a gun and a dun-colored suit of
clothes, which is mostly pockets, and

cents worth of game, but the hunting
instinct has been satisfied.

1t may be all right to put down con-

say, but would just as soon not have
it freeze.
There are fourteen acres Of young
alfalfa on my farm that | am a little
worried about. While sown early
enough, it did not start soon because
of lack of moisture, and now it is
small. Should November give us
nip of winter and a good deal of
moisture along with it, shall pre-
pare to bid goodby to this seeding.
In storing turnips, clip the tops off,,
but leave the roots all on.
1t is invariably sure to storm when
a SOW is to farrow, or else the SOW
chooses stormy time to farrow, l
don't know which, but a storm and a
litter Of pigs usually come together
at this season of the year. 1t takes
as much tact to save a fall litter of
pigs and bring them through to-
spring in thrifty condition as it does
to be successful politician.

The Demons of the Swamp

are mosquitoes. As they sting they
put deadly malaria germs in the
blood. Then follow the icy chills
and the fires of fever. The appetite
flies and the strength fails; also ma
laria often paves the way for deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters kill and
cast out the malaria germs from the
blood; give you a fine appetite and
renew your strength. "After long
suffering" wrote VIM. Fretwell, OF
Lucama, N. c., three bottles drove
all the malaria from my system, and
I've had good health ever since. Best

Men West.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 12.-Bearing
1875 criminals, offenders from the mill
tary prison here to the prison on Alcat-
ras island California, a special train of
five cars left this city today. The con-

segregate prisoners convicted under
civil law from the purely military law
offenders. It is the aim eventually to
change the Leavenworth prison into a
sort of reformatory institution where
soldiers guilty of minor offenses may be
reclaimed.

Under Sherman Law.

washington, Jan. 12.-Dr. Lyman
Abbott and Samuel Gompers appear
ed before the interstate commerce
Commission here and gave their views
about the Sherman antitrust law. Dr..
Abbott favored legislation supplement-

not think the government should die

became large enough to fix prices and
shut out competition, it should come
under the control of a governm ent
commission.
President Gompers, accompanied by
the executive council Of the .Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, favored an
amendment to the Sherman law to ex-
empt labor organizations from its pro-
