Are Appreciated by SkOwhegan PeO-
pie.

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discourage
! ing, but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty of proof. right here in
Skowhegan.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doans Kidney pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
Mrs. Mary J. Bullet, % Nilburn st.
Skowhegan, Me-, says: Il willingly
say a few words in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills. For two years | suffer-
ed from kidney complaint and about a
year ago | was laid up for almost
three weeks. | suffered from severe
pains across the small of my back and
was unable to do my homework. My
husband finally procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills for me at Sampson & Azores
Drug Store and after | had taken the
contents of one box | felt better in
every way" Statement given March

HANDY ARRANGEMENT IN BARN

In arranging the feed box In the
manger or hay shoot by little care,
we can soon save the first cost of
material and labor. II an arrange

The trough and manger should be at
such a height that the animal when
eating will have Its head we'll up;
Just the same as a natural position.
The trough or feed box should be two
feet long. two feet wide and foot deep.

A dairyman needs to be a thorough
business man.
Feed all the cows will take without
gaining in weight.
The ordinary milk COW should drink
from ten to fifteen gallons Of water a
day.
The calf should be fed only whole
milk until 1t Is eleven days or two
weeks old.
The dairyman should te well In

his work.

Nalua of Separator.

1t Is quite safe to say that dairy
man with ten average cows yielding
five thousand pounds of milk each an
nually would. by the deep setting cold
water system, lose at least 900 pounds
of butter fat yearly. which would
amount to about 500. From this one
saving alone 1t can easily be figured
that cream separator will pay for
itself every year in the saving Of
butter fat from the milk of ten cows.

Common Sense With Calf.

A calf two days old doesn't know
anything about drinking milk from
a pail. 1t must be taught to drink
and patience must be exercised on the
part of the teacher. We have seen
men kick young calf because ii
would not drink, and yet the calf knew
more at birth than did these men when
they first saw the light of day. Did
you ever see little baby two days old
that knew enough to drink milk from
pail? Do little common sense rea,
soning while you are teaching the calf
to drink.

shoot should be about 1920 inches.
This will allow the animal ample
room to get the hay out a mouthful
at a time. What hay and chaff falls
while eating falls on the platform

clean 1t up nicely without any waste
whatever.
The opening just above the manger
Is for the convenience of the feeder.

Where a separator Is used the skim
milk is kept at home, fed out on the
farm. and as all of the fertilizing val
lie In milk Is found in the skim milk,
this value Is also saved and goes back
to enrich the land. A cream separa-
.or Is a most wise investment for any
farmer who milks cows. Many dairy
men now own gasoline engine and
use the same for turning the separator
as well as for all other power purposes
on the farm.

WHICH w AY?
Liberal and Dodge City Both
Want the w. F. & N. Ry.

The announcement in the Demo
crat last week that the w F. & N
is really contemplating another
route than the one through Lib
eral, was confirmed this week when
l.. G, Groberty secretary of the
Dodge City commercial club re-
ceived a proposition from the Of
licials of that railroas. The con-
tents of the letter has been made
public by Mr.. Groberty. 1t is
in substance that if Dodge City
will give the 80, 900 a mile in bonds
for the road, and bond Dodge
City for the terminal facilities,
the road will be built from Beaver
county to Dodge City crossing
the Rock Island at Meade. Along
with this comes the rumor that
the W. F. Il N, has been taken
over by the Santa Fe, and will
build to the new Santa Fe junction
in Haskell county.
| Last week a letter from Mana
ger Kell of the W. f. &. N. was
received by prominent business
man here, asking for the names of
owners of the large tracts of land
in south Meade county. MIR.
Kell pretended that he was procur-
ing the information for cattle men
who contemplated shipping their
stock north to pasture. However,
it is now thought that Mr.. Kell is
looking after a right-ofway north
through Meade county.
GULF & NORTH WESTERN IN

The promoters of the Gulf &

from Goodland to Liberal, has

has been the fact tnat the line had
no Gulf connection. If the W.,
+. and N. builds into Liberal from
the south, this obstacle will be
removed, and the Gulf u North
western will probably build in at
once from the north. Much, there
fore, depends on our securing this
railroad.
