HOW TO SAVE
YOUR EYES
Try ThIs Free Prescription.


Dosyour eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands Of people wear
these windows who might easily dis
pense with the1ps Yop may be one Of
these, and It is your duty to save your
eyes before It Is too late. The eyes are
neglected more than any other organ
of the entire body. After you finish
your days work you sit down and rest
your muscles, but how about your
eyes? Do you rest them? You know
yon do not. You read or do something
else that keeps your eyes busy; you
work. your eyes until you go to bed.
That Is why so many have strained
eyes and finally other eye troubles that
threaten partial or total blindness.
Eyeglasses are merely crutches; they
never cure. This free prescription,
which has benefited the eyes Of 90
many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use 1t short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear as
If by magic? Try this prescription.
Go to the nearest wideawake drug store
and get bottle of Optona tablets; I'LL
a two-ounce bottle with warm water,
drop In one tablet and allow It to thor.
oughly dissolve. With this liquid bathe
the eyes two to four times daily, Just
note how quickly your eyes clear up
and how soon the inflammation will
disappear Don't be afraid to use It; It
Is absolutely harmless. Many who are
now blind might have saved their eyes
had they started to care for them In
time. This is q simple treatment, but
marvelously effective in multitudes o
cases. Now that you have been warned
don't delay day, but do what you can
to save your eyes and you are likely to
thank US as long as you live for pub.

FAMOUS INDEPENDENCE
MINE TN COL 0RAD0 SOLD
TO PORTLAND COMPANY

DENVER, Colo.-All the holdings Of
the Stratton estate in Cripple Creek
are to be acquired by the Portland
Gold Mining Company, the present
owner of the Portland and Stratton's
independence mines, which have yield
ed more than $4,000, 900 since the dis
coEery Of the camp in 1890. The price
to be paid is said to be about $4,000
600, and the deal, if it is consummat-
ed, means that the largest single de-
velopment in the history of the camp
is about to begin. -. .:-s
Included in the transaction are a
score of more or less developed mines,
and a large acreage of totally un-
touched property, much of which is
fraught with promise of rich finds.
The holdings of the estate include
more than 800 acres in all, which
with the present acreage of the Port
land, estimated at 200 acres, would
give the Portland company more sur
face than any group in the district, ex-
ceeding even the United Gold Mines
by more than 100 acres.

The Value Of a Vote
By the Very Rev. George Hodges, d. D.,
Dean of the Cambridge Divinity School

/ ters. We need to be protected agalns
the enemies of youth, against the al
lies of the devil, who in the saloon
and disorderly house threaten tho
souls and bodies OF our children; how
these folk should be dealt with de
pends upon our votes. II man FOL
five dollars, or any other number OF
dollars, casts vote which Elay lead
to the ruin of his son or his daughter
he makes the bargain OF fool.
Vote Right. u.
Thus it is of tremendous importance
whether we vote for the right men OF
the wrong men. The right men will
give us good schools, pure water. clean
streets. They will give US parks and
open spaces, public libraries, public
conservatories, and public picture gal
leries. They will see to it that our
landlord keeps our house in decent
condition. They will take the money
which we pay in taxes and spend 1t
for US, not for themselves.
Five dollars for vote! A vote is
worth a thousand dollars, IL Il is worth
a cent. And even that is small
amount to compensate man for his
children's loss Of education. for his
own loss of health, and for all the Ills
which come upon the poor in a city
where the government cares only for
the filing of its own rockets.
Don't Vote for the Buyer.
". But between these two kinds of
men who offer themselves for public
office, between the right men and the
wrong men, how shall a body choose?
There is one plain way to tell the diff
ference. The man who wants to buy
our vote Is the wrong man always,
Because the wrong man is the one
who wants to get into office not to
render a service to the town, but to
get what he can for himself That Is
at the heart OF the whole matter. And
no man would pay fiye dollars for orr
vote unless he expected to make ten
dollars or hundred dollars for him
self out of the bargain. He will make
it by cheating us. We may be sure OF
that.
Is there, then, price. at any figure.
for which q man may honorably sell
vOte9 No. For the ballot is sa-
cred trust If Is given to the citizen
by his fellow citizens that he may use
it not for himself but for the best good
Of the community. Whoever tries to
buy it is a conspirator against the
people: to sell It is to enter into the
conspiracy. A mans vote is his opin-
ion, his Judgment and his will; it is
himself. When his vote Is sold, the
man is sold with it

the NOV, or the end farthest from
the chute to the barn floor: because
Wnen nay Is put in. in that way. II
Will come out easier when being fed.
1t Is a good plan to place the hay
level In the NOW when 1t is being
unloaded. If you can get an extra
man TO help, so much the better; IL
not, 90 the best you can between
oites with the fork, and keep the NOV
as level as possible.
Keep the NOW ventilated as long
as possible, always being careful to
close the. doors and windows to keen
out transforms.
Although haying is probably the
hardest work done on the farm, there
is satisfaction and JOY in seeing the
grass fall In symmetrical swathes
over the sickle bar and in reveling in
It's fragrance, while the hay Is being
wrestled from the field to the barn
and into the cool, dark corners Of the
NOW, that comes with no other labor.
When beginning the hay making
do not start the mower until the dew
Is off the grass. If cut while wet the
grass will require longer for the sun
to dry 1t than when standing.
Cut just what you can easily
handle In one-half day. The next
after noon rake the hay into win
drows, and If not thoroughly dry,
better leave 1t overnight
In order to be perfectly sure that
hay is well cured on our fathers
farm, we always put it up into good
sized cocks and allowed it to remain
about two days. This second hand
ling exposes all the damp hay to the
air and is swift in its curing
Timothy hay may be baled directly
from the swath without much danger
of heating, although it is safer to have
the hay thoroughly cured before being
baled. If hay is baled directly from
the swath it must be entirely free
from rain or dew. and this process
can be employed only under the best
of weather conditions.

A prominent horse dealer once told
the writer that mo horse was fit for
women and children to use until they
were nine years old"
Rather an advanced age you will
say, no doubt, but when you come to
think of 1t the man who had been
in the business for forty years was
not so far out of the way, when you
come to consider that horse Is five
years old before he is really fit for
any kind of steady work.
Now, the years between five and
nine are spent in work that will
accustom the average horse to the
sights, sounds and daily experiences
incident to modern conditions.
Let us try to tell what these condi-
tons mean. A countryman starts to
town with the women folk; he is
driving pair of country-raised
horses, they are gentle and kind
when at work on the home farm
wouldn't hurt a baby.
On the outskirts Of the town they
meet an auto. Then there is some
thing doing for the next 10 minutes.
The team is horror struck; the ladies
are in no better condition.; the good
man who prided himself on being
a horseman for the past quarter Of
a century is astonished to find that
his team does not respond to his
commands, therefore he uses concili-
tory measures and later the measures
become more forceful as the now
thoroughly frightened team try to
break away from the neighborhood
of the evil-smelling. putting devil that
has met them.
This team was six years old and per-
fectly gentle on the old farm.

The Practical Way
Of Feeding Poult,.-

OF course, foods that are not tasty.
whether grains, greens, or animal
food. should not be used as poultry
feed, even though they contain all the
desired elements OF nutrition. Fowls
appreciate a change of diet as often
as possible. The same grains in diff
ferent forms may be a change to them
and yet contain the same nutrients.
One man thought he was feeding on
balanced ration, because he fed cor,
meal dough In the morning, crack |
corn at noon. and whole corn at night.
A balanced ration for one flock ma'
be too narrow or too wide for another.
BY narrow and wide. we mean til
proportion of protein. the flesh an
tissue forming nutrients, compare
with the carbohydrates the fat, hes:
and energy making elements. A good
proportion for an average flock Is on
portion OF protein to Ave Of carbo-
hydrates, usually designated l to 5.
BY average flock we mean one that g
composed largely Of American breeds.
The Mediterraneans are rat''""' :
more active and will do better on :,
wider formula, or about l to 6. This,
of course, depends somewhat. upon
the condition Of the birds and the
season Of the year.
It's mistaken notion that hens will
lay eggs when spring comes whether
the food is properly fed or not True,
when warm weather comes they will
get around the farm and pick up a
part of their living in the garden and
about the barn. When a hen lays she
is getting nutrients from somewhere
in addition to air and water If We
analysed a fowl or chicken, we would
find about SIS per cent of water, nearly
% per cent of protein, II per cent OF
fat and about per cent of ash. In an
egg we would get nearly sc per &C
of water, little more than II
cent of protein, about $ per cent
fat, and II per cent ash. If chicltl
is deprived of any of these ingred dis i
in its food, it cannot develop in ni,e
proportions. If 1t is compelled -
consume surplus of one in order to
get a suff1ciency of another it WI
not remain in good condition.
To get eggs we must first supply a
sufficient quantity of nutrition to sus
tain life. repair waste. and give 4
surplus to make the egg. If a hen Is

cooperative plan. BY little careful
figuring and good judgment group
of farmers can, in this way, help one
another to save their crops, with les.
labor and less expense. and with
more certainty Of success than could
be attained in any other way.
If you have hay loader, count
yourself lucky: bu. II not, hitch two
horses to the end of a pole about
eight feet long straddle one or two
cocks and drag them to the stack, If
the hay is to be left standing in
the field.
homemade loader can be easily
rugged up. An Illinois farmer has
made one illustrated in this article)
which he thinks a great help. He
says this stacker when equipped with
a fork and an active horse, will
handle all the hay six wagons can
bring in. The rope is fastened at the
top and bottom of strong, slanted
pole, and the fork hangs over the
center of the stack. The wagon Is
placed alongside the board sideways
and the fork used the same as in the
barn.
II the nay Is TO be stored IN the
barn, you will need a steady team on
the wagon. The hayrack ought to be
about Is feet long and 10 feet wide.
If you are a good loader boards at
the ends and sides will not be nee
essary.
When you arrive at the barn with
a load, hitch steady horse on the
end Of the rope attached to the hay
fork, set the harpoon as deeply as
possible, and the horse will draw up
800 pounds in twinkling.
When the hay has run along the
carrier to the point where it Is to be
dropped, pull the whip-cord. and
there you are.
With bright boy to handle the
horse on the rope and an experienced
man on the load, it can be put into
the barn in ten minutes or less.

Getting Results
With Sheep

The best possible care and feed for
the young lambs on our farm is given
through their mothers and to this
end 1 aim to have the ewes in the
finest possible condition up to the
weaving time. By this l do not mean
fat, but in good flesh and strong and
hearty for their ration at every feed
ing time.
My lambs are fed no grain until
they are three and q half to four
months DID, when they are weaned.
They will be fed sufficient amount OF
grain during fall and winter to keep
them in good condition and thrifty,
shorn early and turned to grass and
sold the first of next June when they
will be about IA months old.
They will still be lambs, as they
will not have shed their lamb teeth,
will bring lamb prices and will have
made the greater part Of their flesh
on grass.
When one has little pasture the
better way Is to crowd the lambs with
liberal grain feed and market them in
the early winter, or better still, have
the lambs dropped in January or Feb
ruary; teach them to begin eating
grain at two weeks old. crowd them
for all they will stand and place them
on the market when weighing from
40 to SO pounds each.
This is dollhouse lamb business.
There is great money in 1t, but few
farmers are prepared to carry 1t on.
do not consider 1t as profitable to
raise sheep for wool as for mutton,
but the two are SO closely connected
that they can hardly be considered
separately.
It is possible to grow good, heavy
fleece on a mutton carcass and the
sheep with which this can be done
Is altogether the m ost desirable sheep
for the average farmer to raise.
1t Is a poor Individual that will not
grow wool enough to pay for Its keep
ing, leaving the mutton as profit and
with a good, big, heavy-shearing sheep
it is possible to realize a profit on
the wool, making It in this way the
two sources Of profit.
While the expense of maintaining
flock of sheep Is hardly noticeable
the addition to the income from few
lambs and the animal fleeces are very
welcome.
The sheep raiser who puts his de-
pendence In the best breeds and goes
