one dollar per bushel that will be
going some.

that price may afford small margin of
profit for the feeder this winter.
]. II. Brown in his stock sale at
Laddonia lately, disposed of several
nice young draft colts, the stock
bringing from $50 to 500 each,
which he thinks was cheap. He has
some beautiful calves. He refused
an offer of $3.50 for a couple of them.
c. II. Crockett, southwest of Mex
ico sold Fred Roberts 2O3-pound
hogs last week at 1925. Mr.. Crock
EFT says his corn is making from 80 to
35 bushels to the acre-a good
yield-and the quality is better than
he Xepected.
j. S. Wilson, of Grinnell, Iowa, was
here last week looking after his good
farm just southwest of Rush Hill
He paid The Message a pleasant
business call Saturday. He says Iowa
lands and rents are very high and
many buyers are coming down into
Missouri within the next twelve
months.
j H. Jones, just east of Centralia,
whose farm in Just over the lire in
Audrain, was in Mexico Friday. He
was a pleasant caller at the Message
headquarters. He thinks the farmers
in his section are soon to engage more
and more in the business of keeping
good COWS and producing and selling
more cream on the market.
The Hawkpoint Transcript says:
Leslie Harper purchased a fine Jer-
sey bull from the Albert Ennis herd
at HORNE, Mo. 1t is a Golden Lad
bred bull, and his dam, one Of the
big Six" of the University of Mis-
souri,, made in one weeks test 25
pounds of butter.
The Shelby County Herald says: Il
think you are mistaken when you
made the statement that -four is
higher now than at any time since
the Civil War" said Uncle Spring
steen last week. 81 we'll remember
in the year 1867 l went to Hickman's
Mill near Florida, Monroe county,
and paid $40 a barrel for -four. In
those days we had biscuits on Sunday
or when company came. That year
l foundered on corn bread and have
never liked it since Corn at that
time was selling at 20 cents per
bushel."
Dog fanciers have long noted that
when a hOuse-dog begins to get ial
and whee2y it is pretty apt to be
at tackled by a stubborn skin disease.
In such case they cut down the di-
ct and increase the open air eXer-
else, thus relieving the over-burdened
body of poisonous substances. The
sin of gluttony is common and there
fore must condone, but like every
other violation of Natures laws has
penalty. Fat inetficiency, sluggish
mentally, the Redeemed nose, the
pimpled face, certain of the chronic
skin eruptiOns, ana much fatigue and
nervousness are due to the abuse OF
the digestive apparatus. Rich, indi-
gestible foods in large quantities
highly seasoned to stimulate the
jaded palate, are forced into body
already rebellious from repletion. Ex-
ercise is largely limited to walking
to and from the table and bodily de-
terioration proceeds rapidly. Many
an overfed dispeptic, suddenly drag
ged by the stern hand of circum-
stances from life of physical ease
and plenty and forced to work out
OF doors suddenly discovers that his
semi-invalidism is gone, that chror
ic skin arrangement of many years
standing has disappeared and that d
new vigor and zest of life has been
given him. Not everyone can spend
his whole time in the open air but q
certain amount of exercise and plain
wholesome food in an amount moi
exceeding the body's needs can 1T
had by almost everyone Simple mod
crate diet and exercise make fol
health. These are not faddish foo,
theories: they are just plain c mmol
sense.
