Commercial Organizations IN Nearly
All Towns Of Iowa.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. April 12.-Comnercial
clubs are all the rage in Iowa, and
poor indeed is the city or town that
fails to support one.
-Four years ago when we organized
the state league of commercial clubs
at a little meeting here. said Gels
Botsford. secretary Of the Des Moines
Commercial Club, "Adair was the only
town represented. and nearly all the
representation was from cities like FIT.
Dodge and Boone and of that class.
Now rs per cent of the membership is
of towns and not cities. The bust
ness men have taken hold Of the
movement all over the state and near
ly every town has some form of or
ganization devoted to improvement Of
business conditions
Secretary Botsford had on his desk
a great heap Of newspaper clippings
showing what is being done at various
places. reports Of banquets, booster
meetings and plans for roads, etc.
These clubs devote themselves to the
business situation in their immediate
localities. They are interested in high
ways and transportation, also in get
ting farmers institutes and conventions
Of all kinds. Some OF them are doing
great work to beautify their towns and
make them more desirable for resi-
dences. The movement has become
statewide and in the future will be of
great value to the state.

received more than last week. but re-
ceipts at the foemer point included q
lot, Of stock that came there on thru
billing to feed stations near Chicago,
and the weeks aggregate run OF 1884,
600 at six markets, or $4,000 more than
last week. REJECTS a greater number
than have actually sought market.
One of the surprises brought out
by the weeks trade was a materially
increase run at Buffalo. This ID part
ly attributed to the high prices scored
there at the weeks opening and to an
extent by the running Of much stock
from Michigan and Ohio that had been
held back to shear. That market had
a 50 cent break in two days.

heavy strain. One firm suspended bus

Expert Urges Care Of Cattle.

Cow testing association, this move
ment has not gained the impetus,
many believe ii should, among the
dairymen and farmers of Wisconsin.
In his report to the Wisconsin state
board of public affairs upon "agricul-
tural cooperation" in this and other
countries, John F. Sinclair reviews
the work done by the Wisconsin
Dairymen's association to encourage
the testing OF cows for the purpose of
determining their producing capabil-
tiles. and urges its extension upon
basis which viii meet with more gem
eral acceptance.
Since the first COW testing associa-
ton organized in Wisconsin was
county, several years ago, 1850 Bad
ger state dairymen have belonged to
them and few more than 1850
COWS and heifers have completed
years tests. This enrolment may
be regarded as e satisfactory record,
but in spite of It's demonstrated value
and usefulness the farmers of the
state have not realized the importance
Of continuing the work year after
year, says Mr.. Sinclair In some In
stances dairymen found their herds
so poor that at the end of six months
they withdrew from their association
quite discouraged with the efforts or
later to start anew with animals of
more profitable production. In other
cases men owning pure breeds found
their herds much below their expecta-
lions, thus tending to prevent the
profitable sale Of their animals. They
could make better sales by talking
pedigree than by talking pedigree and
record.
It has been thoroughly demonstrate
ed that there are great differences in
COWS. and that the only sure way to
determine these differences is to
weigh and test each cows milk, for it
is not possible to determine the quail.
ity of the milk by its color or esti-
mate the amount OF milk that an ami
NAL produces by observing how much
she gives at a milking The way to
obtain exact information is to weigh
and test the milk periodically.

An overworked Ohio doctor tells his
experience:
About three years ago as the result
of doing two mems work, attending a
large practice and looking after tho
details of another business, my health
broke down completely. and l was
little better than a physical wreck.
II suffered from indigestion and con-
stipation. loss Of weight and appetite,
bloating and pain after meals. loss of
memory aud lack of nerve force for
continued mental application.
81 became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks OF palpi-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit / got more satisfaction from it
than from anything / had eaten .oc
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle Of
salt or sugar.
MY Improvement was rapid and
permanent. in weight as well as in
physical and mental endurance. In a
word. am filled with the Joy OF liv-
ing again. and continue the daily use
Of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often
for the evening meal.
