PaoIa Woman Adopts New Plan to
Carry Infant.

Kansas City, Oct. 29.-Suit cases
have been common carriers for poodle
dogs and Persian cats for several years,
but when a faint wall, which could
only come from an infant, emanated
from a seemingly abandoned suit case
at the union station this morning
pandem onium reigned.
To make it worse, Mrs. Ollie Ever
ingham, the matron, was absent from
her post on account of sickness. When
all the ushers and station officials had
gathered around the suit case and
opened it, Clay Lee, 8 days old, and
weighing four pounds, was discovered
within, sleeping quietly on d blue
wooden baby blanket.
While the men scratched their
heads and looked helpless, Mrs. o. c.

of course doctors disagree about
Peruna, the same as they do on an
other subjects 1t is generally thought
that the doctors are unanimously OPP
posed to Peruna. It is well known
that Peruna has cured a great many
cases after doctors have given them
up. This would naturally excite ami
mostly or jealousy on the part OF the
doctors Then it is a fact that the
average doctor is opposed to ready
made medicines of all kinds. They
know very we'll if a bottle of medicine
IS sold at the drug store that means
that some doctor loses a prescription
and perhaps q patient. So they are
generally opposed to patent medicines.
or ready-made medicines as they call
them.
But ever since Peruna has been sold
I have known of many doctors who
are in favor of Peruna. Some of them
believe in it secretly, others openly.
All this time have been receiving let
tiers from regular practicing physi-
clans offering to send me testimO malls
as to the virtues of Peruna, provided
I would pay them for doing so.
It is nothing unusual that a doctor
should expect pay for such a service
The manufacturers of sO-called ethi-
cal preparations advertised in the
medical jOurna Is. used by the doctors
only. are in the habit of paying doe
tors for testimonials If a doctor has
found some one of these proprietary
remedies useful and can write a good,
smart article about it. the manufac-
turer is perfectly willing to pay the
doctor for this service. So it is per
fectly natural for doctors to write to
me telling me that they know of cases
where Peruna has made marvellous
cures and are willing TO furnish me
the facts if I will pay them.
But have always refused to pay
for such q service. I have invariably
made a courteous reply to the doc
ter. telling him it is opposed to my
policy and principles to pay for tes-
timontals. either directly or Indirectly.

or two cars and studying special ex-
hibits and lectures thoroughly.
How to Get the Most Good.
The farmers institute train Is
strictly an educational institution.
The best informed specialists have
been secured as lecturers. The best
plan will be to have as many repre-
sentatives as possible from each fam
lily. Assign certain a or cars for
each one. Provide each with a note
book and after the meeting is over
each one will have something differ
ent to report.
The Poultry Car.
The hen is small yet she brings in
as much in return as the wheat crop.
And this in spite of poor care, poor
management and poor feeding. Every
day the hens OF the country produce
$2,000,0o dollars worth of eggs and
meat.

eggs.
A model poultry plant in operation
will be shown. 1t will be occupied by
a flock of chickens that will be carried
throughout the trip. Before they re-
turn home they viii be the most trav-
eled chickens in the state. The plan
of building the house will be shown.
Here one can learn the best type Of
house, of what material and how warm
| to make it, how to arrange the roosts,
the nests, drinking fountains, yards.
And it will be what is the best for
North Dakota, as it is the result of
work carried on at the North Dakota
experiment station.
Incubators will also be carried on
the train. This will give a chance to
learn the kinds that go to make up
he successful operation of an ncu-
bator. What is perhaps more difficult
than Matching the chicks is the feed
ing and care of them the first few
weeks.

train Of health for man and beast.
DR. l.. Van Els, head of the veterin-
airy department of the agricultural
college. will be in charge. The doctor
is recognized here and abroad as. one
of the leaders in the veterinary world.
His recent bulletin on swamp fever is
the most authoritative publication on
this disease. He will be assisted by
DR.. w. r. Crewe, head of the live
stock sanitary board, one of the ablest
veterinarians in the state.
Farmscrops and Soils.
This ear will bring the best informa-
ton that has been worked out in this
line. The proper handling of the soil
and Of crops is one Of the big prob
lens in farming.
Rotation of Crops.
Al great deal of attention will be
given to the rotation of crops, bring
ing out the effects of different crops
on fertility, OF soil, moisture and on
yield, as well as the value Of manure
on different crops. Charts and other
illustrative material will be used to
bring out the facts. The point kept
prominent lis how to raise more wheat.
Varieties.

oats, barley, FAX, corn and potatoes
win be shown. Samples Of iegurnes,

that one can learn how the chicks are

This will illustrate its advantages
and disadvantages. Several lectures
will be given to cover the different
points in poultry raising. opportun-
ity viii also b given to ask CUES
tions.
In charge of this car will be Prof.
o. w. Dynes, who has charge of the
poultry Investigations at the North
Dakota experiment station. He spent
last Year at Cornell university, one Of
the foremost institutions in poultry in
designations. Any one interested in
poultry or who wants to see the appli-
ances and methods that have been
worked out for handling this impor-
tant branch of the farm should spend
some time on the poultry car. "A
complete poultry plant built on a fiat
a should certainly be an interesting
study.
Livestock.
Two cars will be devoted to live
stock. Livestock is the most impor-
tant single industry on the farm. In
fact it is the foundation of a per-
manent, successful agriculture. North
Dakotans are going into the growing
of livestock more than ever. This
might be well called the transition
stage from ~all-grain farming to mixed
farming. The livestock exhibit comes
at a time when it is most needed.
Here will be a chance to learn about
breeds, about types. about care, about
management and about feeding.
Horses.
There are more horses In North Da-
kota than any other farm animal. 4
good type Of draft horses will be on
the train. The right kind of horses
and knowing the best type is impor-
tant to the farmer in a state that uses
so many horses. There is good money
in breeding horses as the price is high
