SHE QUIT
But It Was a Hard Pull.

It is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such a condition as it
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
own story:
Il did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said / liked it
so well l would not, and could not,
quit drinking it, but was miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
Gus prostration for four years.
81 was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for
anything. Was emaciated and had
constant pain around my heart until
thought could not endure 1t.
Frequently / had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. was gradually
getting worse until finally asked my
self what's the use of being sick all
the time and buying medicine so that
could indulge myself in coffee?
so / got some Postum to help ne
quit. / made 1t strictly according to-
directions and / want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. It was easy to quit coffee be-
cause I now like Postum better than
the coffee.
"One by one the old troubles left
until now / am in splendid health
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any medi-
cine, can do all my house work and
have done a great deal besides"

ment of Agriculture)
The period of CESSATION for sows is
approximately 112 days or eight days
less than four months from the date
of breeding. 1t may vary from this
a few days one way or the other. This
date should be known to avoid mis-
takes that may result in the loss Of
pigs. ~
AS the time for narrowing ap-
proaches the SOW should be watched
carefully, in order that assistance
may be given if necessary. The feed
at this time should be sloppy and
limited in amount Nothing but luke
warm water should be given the SOW
during "a hours previous to farrow-
ing. If she has already farrowed
a litter and has been properly fed
and cared for during pregnancy, little
difficulty may be expected. With
young sows, particularly those bred
at an immature age, there is consid-
cradle risk at this time, not only to
the pigs but to the SOW herself.
There is difference of opinion as to
the amount of bedding which should
be given to the SOW at this time. An
active SOW in comparatively light con-
dition can be trusted with a liberal
amount of bedding, but sows which
are in high condition or which are at
all clumsy, had better be given only
moderate amount of straw.
The narrowing pen should be dry
and well ventilated, but free from
drafts. Provide the pen with a
guard rail made Of two by eight planks
with their edges against the sides of
the pen about ten inches above the
bed. These prevent the SOW from ly-
ing against the partition, and lessen
the danger Of injury to the pigs. The
little fellows will soon learn to creep
under the guard rail when the SOW
lies down.
The management of the sow during
narrowing depends largely on the ami
NAL and on the weather conditions.
Assistance should be at hand If need
ed but the SOW need not be helped
if she is getting along nicely. When
narrowing occurs during warm wealth
er the pigs are less likely to become
chilled and will generally find their
way to the teats unaided. During ex-
tremely cold weather the pigs will

sow and pigs may be turned for ex-
ercise. Do not allow the pigs to run
out during a cold rain.
Production of Beef Cattle Profitable.
do you regard the production Of
beef cattle as profitable in your coun-
try"
This question was asked last year
of each county reporter of the bureau
of crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture. Answers
were received from 1,474 counties. OF
these 1882, or 83.s per cent, reported
in the affirmative; this is, that the
production of beef cattle is profitable
Moreover, these Affirmative replies
covered nearly every section OF the
United States. In some of the New Eng
land states, however, 1t was regarded
as Improbable, for in the six states
from Maine to Connecticut, inclusive,
only 45 per cent reported 1t profitable
In the group New York, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania, 81 per cent found
It profitable. In the South Atlantic
states, Delaware to Florida, the per-
centage is still higher, "a per cent.
In the North Central states east of the
Mississippi river, Ohio to Wisconsin,
the percentage is higher-S9 per cent.
The same percentage-89-is reported
for the South Central states, Ken
lucky to Arkansas, being nearly the
same in all the states. In the far
western states, Montana to the coast,
the opinion was nearly unanimous-9l
per cent-that the production OF beef
is profitable.
It may be observed that going from
east to west the percentage of those
reporting that beef production is PROF

be in danger of being chilled unless
the house is heated. To avoid this
place a few heated bricks in the bot
tom of a basket or small box, cover
ing them with chaff or straw, and put
a cloth over the top to keep in the
heat; unless the SOW objects too serl-
ously the pigs may be rubbed dry
with a soft cloth and placed in the
receptacle as fast as they arrive.
They will not suffer if they do not
suck for a few minutes after farrow-
ing. After narrowing is over the pigs
should be placed with the SOW, care
being taken that each one gets to
feat. When the afterbirth is passed
1t should be removed from the pen
at once and burned or buried There
is good reason to believe that eating
of the afterbirth is often the begin
ming of the habit of eating the pigs.
Usually the first "a hours after far
sowing, the SOW should have no food,
but should be given liberal drink
of warm water. If, however, she shows
signs of hunger a thin siop of bran
and middlings may be given. The
feeding for the first three or four days
should be light and the time consumed
I'm getting the SOW on full feed should
be from a week to ten days, depend
ing on the size and thrift of the
litter.
After the SOW has farrowed 1t is
best for her to be in the open air.
OF course, if the pigs are farrowed
during the winter months care will
be needed, and it may be necessary
TO let the pigs reach the age OF two
weeks before turning them out. They

Colonies should be scattered through

PREVENT WASTE OF MANURE
Little Thought Necessary to Deter
mine Value of Dairy Herd From
FertiIizing Standpoint.

In experiments conducted at the
Louisiana station 90 determine the
amount of manure and urine produced
by the dairy herd of 20 cows in one
year, it was found to be It's tons Of
manure and 20 tons of urine. The av-
erage amount of manure produced by
one cow in year was 1880 pounds, a
little less than nine tons, and the aver
age amount of urine produced by one
COW in a year was $685. pounds, or q
little ISIS than three and a half tons.
1t takes little thought to see the value
OF a COW from the fertilizing stand
point, or to see the profit in preventing
unnecessary waste of manure.

Easy to Spoil Disposition of Animal

Never permit the bull to have his

It is very easy to spoil the DISPOSE
ton of a bull by permitting children,
old as well as young, to play with him

Homicide CHARGE
Frank H. Clark's Trial at
Norristown Following
Death of StrOuse
DEATH CAME AFTER
ENCOUNTER ON ROAD

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Oct. 6.-The trial of
Frank II. Clark, charged with homi-
eide in connection with the death OF
a man named Strouse is scheduled
for today at Norristown, Pa. Mr..
Clark, who until a few months ago.
lived all his life with his parents on
a farm near Newark, was formerly
lieutenant In Company p. Organized
Militia OF Delaware. and was one Of
the crack rife shots of the regiment.
Early last spring Mr.. Clark went
to Norristown 10 accept position as
manager OF an undertaker's establish
ment In that city. One Sunday
several weeks after he took up his
new duties Mr.. Clark and a friend
were walking along a road a short
distance from Norristown, when
they met Strouse. The latter stopped
them and asked the way to some par
ticular point. The man was appar-
emily under the influence Of liquor at
the time. Neither Clark or his friend
knew much about that section Of the
country and they directed the man
as best they could. Later they met
Strouse on the road again and he
claimed they had directed him wrong.
The man became abusive and after
calling Clark and his friend some
hard names made a motion as though
10 hit Clark The latter claiming
that he thought he was going to be
assaulted struck Strouse. The blow
knocked him down. The two men be-
lieving that Strouse was more intoXi-
Gated than hurt put him on the side
OF the road. Later in the day he was
found in an unconscious condition
and was taken TO a hospital where
he died that night.
Clark surrendered himself and af-
ter preliminary hearing was held
under bail for this term OF court II
ls said that the physicians who held
the autopsy testified at the prelimi-
nary hearing that death was due to a
fractured skull and that It would
have been impossible for Strouse to
have regained consciousness after re-
ceiving this injury. The supposition
was that when Clark knocked the
man down his head struck the stone
road causing the fracture.
Il is reported that the defense has
found several witnesses who will tes-
tify that they saw Strouse along the
road after Clark struck him and thai
they talked with him and that he ap
peared to he all right. If this testi
mony is produced IN connection will
the evidence OF physicians who hell
the autopsy. II would tend to shoN
that the man received his fatal iniur
. after Clark and his friend left hir
along the road.
Clark has an excellent reputation
here and some of the most prominen
men Of the community went TO Nor
ristown today to testify to his goo
character.
