of rich farmers who made their money
out of hogs. They feed the raw grain
to the pOrker and sell him at the
highest price in the biggest markets
of the country. They have no such
advantages as the Kentucky farmer
has. At our very doors, and at a
much lower cost than corn the Iowa
and Indiana farmer feeds, We have the
feed that will produce the best pork
in the world
The Farmers Opportunity.
The greatest single industry in Ken
lucky is its distillerieS. This industry
pays more taxes for Rhe maintenance
of the State than all other manufac-
turing industries combined. Thou
sands of tons of slops containing nu-
tritious. fat-producing elements are
dumped into the waste neap simply be-
cause Kentucky feeders have not
walked up to their opportunity. A COM
paratiyely small portion of this by
product is dried and shipped to Eu-
rope to be used as dairy feed and for
fattening hogs.
But why ship any of these dried
grains to Denmark and Holland when
we can use them here at home up to
the full capacity of every distillery in
the State, thereby increasing the prof
its of hog-raising and adding many
millions of dollars annually to the
wealth of the farmers of the state.
Cheaper Feed Than Corn.
Farmers should sell the corn they
raise at the high price it usually
brings, and buy, for less money, more
and better feed in the form of distil-
lers' dried grains. By doing this they
can fatten more hogs at less cost and
sell them in the market for larger
profits. IT is a simple business nropo-

The official tests of this iced have
been very satisfactory in every way.
1t has the stamp of approval OF the
best chemists in the agricultural
world. Men from experiment stations
who know all about food values of diff

the highest recommendation.
The richest agricultural States in
the Union are those which lead in hog
production. Iowa, with it's vast field

constipation, and it is worthy of their
attention.
American people the most stubborn
constipation imaginable can be cured
by a brief use of DR.. CaldwelFs Syrup
Pepsin. You may not have heard of it
before, but do not doubt it's merits on
that account, or because it has not been
blatantly advertised. 1t has sold very
successfully on word of mouth recon-

their children today who were given it
by their parents, and it has been truth

personally in their families than any
other laxative.

showing the esteem in which Dr. Cald-

salts or cathartics. 1t cures gradually
and pleasantly so that in time nature
again does its own work without out

CHANCE TO MAKE KENTUCKY
GREATEST HOG RAISING STATE
10000 Hogs Fattened From Stops and
Distillers' Dried Grains In Daviess
County Alone Last Year

(By Stephen Bolles, in Bourbon Stock
JournaD.
Kentucky can easily be made the
greatest hog-raising State in the
Union. That has been demonstrated
by Daviess county farmers. Last year
about 10000 hogs were fattened in
that county on distillers' Stops and
dried grains.
So successful were the experiments
that the L., H. G. ST. L. railroad pro-
vided switches along their lines for
the use of farmers to utilize this by
product of the distilleries for feeding

From Alaska.

Having seen your Adair Coun-
;ty News, l thought perhaps a
dittle news from our frozen north
might interest you. We have at
nresent 8 feet of snow, which is
unusual for this season of year.
as we have from 20 70 80 feet
most every winter.
The winters are becoming
Anilder every year and we hope
to compete with the warmer eli.
mates in farming and reising
vegetables in the near future.
Down the Peninsula a few miles
from this snow belt, they pro-
,duce some of the finest vegeta-
BILE gardens in the world. There
is no snow in a great many places
Alaska is noted for its beautiful
scenery. The hill tops are capped
all the year round, while just be-
meath them, in the valleys,
are green grass and shrubbery
and the most beautiful wild
flowers of many varieties.
We have upon an average of
two and sometimes 3 steamers
week, direct from Seattle, Wash
ington, a run of six days in sum-
.mer months, they are doubles
and are crowded with sight see
ing tourists.
We have some of the largest
glaciers in the world. The val
Aey glacier just back of the town
IS the largest dead glacier in the
world. Its crevices are hundreds
of feet deep, and has swallowed
up many a prospector and his
horse, as that was the trail the
first men made in '9S to the in
terror, but the Government has
a fine road from here to Fair
banks, and use large auto trucks
for hauling in summer. They
also have pleasure seeking autos
in valleys. 1t is the fartherest
port north open all year round
and has the finest harbors in
Alaska.
We have daily papers published
here giving sketches of the
worlds news. A telegraph line
from Seattle to the fartherest
point of any Importance north.
The Government has Posts all
along the coast and will begin
work in the early spring on the
new rail road, extending as far
as Fairbanks to the great coal
fields.

-er Plants run by natural water
