Special Halt Price Brings Many
Patrons to W. 5. Lloyd.

The people of Mt. Sterling and
vicinity appreciate the great adj
vantage w. S. Lloyd obtained for
them, in getting the Dr.. Howard
Co. to allow the regular so cent
size of DIR. Towards specific for
the cure of constipation aud dys-

cents, and have bought hundreds
of bottles.
Unlike ordinary medicines for
constipation and dyspepsia, the
dose of DR.. Towards specific is
reduced after a few days use, and
the cure is soon complete and last
ing.
If you have not already taken
advantage of this chance to get a

SHAVING AMONG THE CHINESE
Barber Carries His Equipment About
the Streets on a Pole Look
Inc for Customers.

Chinese people have very light
boards, and their practice for untold
years has been to patronize the ma
tive BARRIERS, who carry their equip
ment suspended at the two ends of
a coolie pole across the shoulder and
stroll about the native streets seek
ing customers. Comparatively few
Chinese have adopted the plan of
shaving themselves, and these con-
sist entirely of those who have i'm
bibed western ideas. With the ADAM
donment of the queue becoming gen.
eral, the habit of self-shaving, it is
expected, will be promoted, for when
Chinese employs a native barber
the latter shaves the front part of
the head as well as the face, brushes
the hair, and replaits the queue. The
shaving of the head and the care of
the queue are things which a man
cannot well undertake for himself,
and with its abandonment the main
objection to self-shaving will have
been obviated.

81 gallons of milk per COW per
day during the entire year.
The cost of rearing a heifer to
time of first calf was found to av-
erage between $50 and $35. One
of the largest and bestIdairy farms
in Kentucky has a $1,000 milking
barn, with concrete floor, and
$500 rest shed, where the cows
are kept, fed and watered. This
man has 81 cows, and last winter
had 80. The rest shed adjoins the
milking barn, with a shed and
hay loft between shed and barn.
The silage machine, engine and
slices are arranged in this shed.
Everything is kept under cover.
Two 16 by 80 #. slices, made of
wood by the dairyman himself
cost $3.50 each six years ago. A
30 by 16 #. concrete silo erected
two years ago cost $685.. For 80
cows this dairyman used 100 tons
of straw annually in bedding.
But the cows are kept cleaner than
If they were kept in their stalls all
of the time in winter.
The greatest drawback to dairy
farming in this section is the
scarcity of labor. The usual wage
is $50 to $50 per month with house
and small garden.

A Chicago man appeared at the

orders he took along his petition and
asked everybody in the picture frame

body did.
The man was insistent and finally
reached the president. Always gen.

Kinley explained to the candidate
that he would have to consult the
Illinois senator and representatives
about the matter before making the
appointment.
