Esther Was Alarmed,

Esther, a five-year-old daughter OF
north side parents, heard much about
the dangers Of diphtheria, and was
eager to observe every precaution to
keep from coming into contact with it.
that she and her two brothers might
not "catch It,"
One day she insisted on going to
the grocery on the corner to spend
her penny, and was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with any
children she might meet on the way.
After having been gone only a few
minutes, she rushed into the house
much excited, exclaiming as she en-
tered:
Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys
away from Mr.. AS house, cause they
have diphtheria and have a sign
up"
Her mother said: "Is that so? What
does the sign say?"
1T says for SALE" said Esther

DRAFT HORSE IS PROFITABLE
Breeding Of Animal Has Como to Re
Manipulating Adjunct to 81.
verified Farming.

The breeding of the draft horse has
come to be a very profitable adjunct
to diversified farming, and at no
time during the last fifteen or twenty
years has the price been higher for
good draft and heavy farm horses.
While the automobile may, to GER
tain extent, have replaced the horses
for city delivery. writes George p.
Grout of the Minnesota station, still
the bulk Of the farm work is done
with horses; and the prices for good
stock are as high or higher than
ever. There Is not the demand for
medium. quality and light weight
horses that there used to be, but
good, smooth draft and heavy farm
horses are bringing good prices.
There is little reason why the
farmer should not continue to raise
horses Of this kind, since brood
mares and stations, too, for that mat
ter-will produce stronger and better
colts for having been kept steadily at
work on the farm.
On the home farm we have raised
some OF the cleanest, best colts ana
worked the mares right along. There
are certain conditions under which it
does not seem to be practical to put
the breeding stock into harness, but
on many farms these conditions are
not met. Where a farmer must rely
almost wholly on hired help to drive
his teams, 1t may not be practicable
to put pure-bred stock into harness.
II the farm boy shows an interest In
horses, raise some good drafters.
Put a good harness on them. and
tell the boy this is his team to work.
and there will be no question about
the care they will get. You will lind
the boy after days work out curry
ing OF the horses, making sure they
are comfortable. I speak from ex-
perience, and know that when these
horses are offered for sale they Will
bring good price.

Corn fodder is hardly as good for
horses as kaffir corn.
Young pigs are peculiarly subject to
various kinds of intestinal worms.
Colts and calves often develop small
warts In large numbers about the
face.
Sore mouth will sometimes attack
sheep in pens and run through the en-
tire flock.
There is possibility of underfeed-
ing an animal as we'll as overlooking
for best results.
II your heart is in the right place
you will see that your animals are
made comfortable for the winter.
Horses cannot now be grown as
cheap as they were when land was
half the price and grain half the price.
A blockish-built mare with a large
barrel on short legs Is likely to pro-
duce q better foal than the tall, leggy
kind.
Lambs that are four weeks old may
be pushed rapidly for market by feed
ing oats and bran with some ground
corn.
The best ration for the steers de-
ponds largely on the weight OF the
steers, the feeds available and the
prices of the same.
Pure-bred cattle or other live stock
are what they are largely because Of
the feed and care they and their an
cestors have received.
10 not deprive your steers of exer-
else for best results, as health and
vigor are promoted where animals are
allowed to move about.
The old notion that cheap corn and
swine disease are intimately connect
ed one with the other has been pretty
Thoroughly exploded this year.
One Of the greatest mistakes made
by mare owners is the frantic attempt
to produce draft stock from Hight
mares ct hrst cross with big stations

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass Of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. MY underclothing would be
q clot of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on chair. was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside Of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and felt like new
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign Of any skin diseases and I

Protect sheep From Dogs.

Protect sheep From Dogs.
A Minnesota farmer says that he
keeps dogs away from his flock by
putting up in his pasture the dummy
Of a man holding stick for a gun
This dummy is taken down every
morning and put up again in the eve
ming at different places from night to
night. He sayn a sheep-killing dog
will not go near enough to the dummy
to discover that 1t is a bogus man.
Sheep should be protected from
dogs at night BY putting them into the
sheep barn or Enclosing them in fine
weather by hlgh barb wire fence.
Every sheer owner who discovers
a stray dog on his place should not
hesitate to fill him full Of buckshot
He is trespasser and the law will
not touch a man who kills him.

We DOUBT very much the advisa.
bility of the progressive party Of
this state nominating a complete
state ticket as was done at the Fargo
convention. We attended this con-
yention, not as delegate but as a
representative Of the press, and took
considerable pains before the con-
vention opened to sound a number
of delegates GU the subject. Out of a
score or more with whom we talked
not more than one or two thought
it hest to nominate a complete state
ticket. We don't know just who it
was that mixed the political medi-
cine, but suspect that it was none
other than Judge Lauder. If Col
cnel Roosevelt advised this, We be-
lieve that he did not understand To-
cal conditions very we'll, for it would
have been far easier to carry the
state for him without the third state
ticket in the field, than with it. The
Independent, like most of the other
newspapers of the state took a stand
before the primaries for certain re-
publican candidates and the editor Of
this paper, like thousands Of others
who participated in the primaries,
does not propose at this time to turn
down the nominees without good
cause. Mr. Hanna was nominated
fer governor most fairly and we be-
lieve that he will be elected with an
overW helming majority.
