To lay in supply of winter food for
the family and neglect to cater to the
family cow is on oversight which re-
taliates upon the owner straightway
with unerring accuracy, for the mich
cow measures to her owner in proper
ton as he metes out to her materials
from which she Is to maintain her
own strength and vitality and produce
good flow Of milk.
The demand of her body for greater
warmth during the winter months
make 1t necessary that she be in first
class condition-fat and sleek.
An abundance of food which not
only aids in maintaining her bodily
warmth, but is of nature to wet the
appetite to its keenest, is essential to
keep the milch flow at it's best.
Like other domestic animals, cattle
enjoy variety. The available food-ma-
terial on we'll conducted farm af-
fords this. Glover and timothy hay,
oat-hay, cornstalks, cowpeas, bran, a
quantity of understood, unmarketable
apples, potatoes, squashes, beets and
carrots are a delight to the healthy
COW.
Where one has not the facilities for
supplying ensilage, the vegetables and
fruits mentioned above are a most
excellent substitute.
ored vegetables are also relished by
this family cow, and are very whole
some, but as they give an unpleasant
favor to the milk they cannot be ad-
mitted to her diet.
Decayed or moldy fruit or vegeta-
bles should, needless to state, be re-
jected. The seeds should be removed
from squashes and pumpkins, as they
tend to diminish the flow of milk.
In order that the food be wholesome
and nutritious, it must be stored un.
der approved conditions.
Hay, well-cured, keeps in a NOW OF
loft with plenty of bottom ventila
ton. Stalks are usually ricked out-of
doors. This is satisfactory if they are
thoroughly dry when Kicked, and sc
tightly packed that those underneath
are thoroughly protected by the slop
ing outside layers.
Apples should be kept just above
the freezing point in the cellar, if pos
sible; potatoes at temperature of &c
degrees, and squash in a dry place
where they will not freeze.
The squashes should be fed early in
the winter, as under ordinary storage
conditions they cannot be depended
upon for long keeping.

shelter for them in storms, and for
feeding purposes, but let them have
access to the earth; keep them on the

you will get them to develop bone and
muscle, and strong stomach.
They are always on their feed and
always at their feed. l like to have
them out on clover pasture, or on

gives satisfactory results. OF course
you must feed the pigs reasonably

A thing that would add more to
the beauty and comfortableness OF
Newark than almost anything that
could be done for the town, con.
sidering the small sum it would
cost, is the planting of shade and
ornamental trees along the streets.
If every person who owns proper
ty in town would, this fall, plant
some trees along the streets, we
would see a wonderful improve
ment in the appearance of the
town in very few years. The
Journal suggests that at the pro
per time Mayor Ketchem designate
a day for this work, designating
the distance trees should be plant
ed from the property lines, and
that he ask every citizen in town
to plant trees along his property.

Some of the streets of Newark
are washing away, but when at
tention is called to this fact, the
remark is usually made that that
belongs to the town." OF course il
does; but the people are the town
and the town are the people. So
why not every citizen take a little
more interest in protecting the
towns interests? In so doing, they
are indirectly helping themselves
and making their own property
more valuable.

DON'T TAKE THE
WRONG MEDICINE
If Your Liver Gets Lazy You Need
Liver Tonic. Not rlereiy
Laxative for the Bowels

Many people take a simple laxa-
tive when their liver gets sluggish
rather than take calomel, which
they know to be dangerous. But
a mere laxative will not start a
sluggish liver. What is needed in
a tonic that will liven up the liver
without forcing you to stay at
home and lose a day from your
business.
You have such tonic in Dod-
sons Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver
Tone must be all they claim for it
because they guarantee it to take
the place of dangerous calomel
and agree to hand back the money
with smile to any person who
tries Dodson's Liver Tone and is
not satisfied with the relief it gives
Dodson's Liver Tone is a harm
less vegetable liquid with a pleas
ant taste and is prompt and re-
liable remedy for constipation,
billiousness, sour stomach, and the
other troubles that come from a
torpid liver.
The Newark Drug Co give it
their personal guarantee and if
you will ask about this guarantee
you will protect yourself against
limitations that are not guaranteed.

Tone is so cents. (Adv.)

OPPOR TUNTTTES

A wise and honest man, a man
of ability and earnestness, is not
troubled about looking for oppor-
tunities. Many and great opportun.
tiles everywhere are on constant
outlook for such men. 1t is the
numbskull and street loafer who
is continually talking and COM
planning about the lack of oppor-
tunities. AS a rule his native town
is too slow and small, and he feels
compelled to leave his parental
b ackyard for some hustling, bust
ling metropolis in order to show
the world the stuff he is made of.
1t is all fol-de-rol to be everlast-
ingly laundering to live in a large
city because of larger opportuni-
ties. Of course a man who has
really out-grown his native village
has a moral right to seek larger
opportunity elsewhere, but that
man is as rare as a pearl in an oys-
ter. However, thousands of young
men are annually rushing to our
larger cities believing themselves
to be talented and capable to be-
come famous and financially sue
cessful in the midst of the large
and dazzling opportunities of the
city, only to find that they have
made a big mistake.
There are vast opportunities ly-
ing all around us all the time, and
it is our inability to see these op-
portunities, far more than it is the
lack opportunities, that is holding
us down in the world. The main
trouble is within our own selves,
and not with the world or the
town or community in which we
live.
Besides, it is more satisfactory
to be prominent and respected
citizen of a village than to be an
insignificant stranger, jostled and
ignored, by the hurrying mass of
humanity in a metropolis. We
would rather be a dog on farm
than a Gagged lion in menagerie.

The Journal believes the bust
ness men of Newark will respond
literally with cash donations for
working the Newark and Cord
road. They fully realize the i'm.
portance of a good road from New

cannot afford to play short. Good
roads affect the business man in
directly almost as much as they dc

confident that the business men
will do their full duty in this mat
ter.
