$40 Pound Pigs.

With corn above so cts. hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The
hog that takes two or three
months to get on full feed never
brings you profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B.
A. Thomas Hog Medicine. Use
regularly and watch your shoats
round out into fat hogs in nine
months--hogs going well over 200
pounds and as high as $40 pounds.
Figure the average feeding and
you will see why the B. A. Thorn
as medicine is a good investment
Try feeding out your hogs on this
plan and if you are not more than
pleased, we will refund the cost
Of the medicine.

HERD OF SHORTHORNS
KILLED
Fine Stock of Douglas Burns, Pike
County Man, Was Afflicted
with tuberculosis.

The prize winning herd Of
Shorthorn cattle owned by Doug
las Burns of Pike county was con-
demned by the state veterinarian
recently. The animals were al
flicted with tuberculosis. Mr..
Burns, who went to st. Louis to
see his cattle slaughtered, was
much surprised to find that the
best looking COW OF the herd,
which showed no outward signs OF
being affected, was in the worst
condition of the. entire lot. An
internal examination, however,
proved beyond a doubt her unfit
ness. A few Of the animals passed
inspection OTTER Strengthening and
were sold as bceves.
Mr.. Burns was awarded the linz
it of damages provided by the
state. which is 5000 per head, in
addition to the amount he received
from the packing houses and soap
factories where he sold the car
casscS.
Among the animals infected was
one cow that had cost $500. 9th
ers of the herd were high priced.

1lliteracy in Missouri.

Howard A. Class, superintendent
of public instruction in Missouri,
states that there are 4S states IN
the Union, and Missouri ranks
32nd in illiteracy. And yet there
are people in old Missouri who
claim that we have "too much ed
ucation." Hear what Mr.. Class
says:
"Illiteracy means degeneracy--
perhaps not moral .degeneracy,
but degeneracy in culture and in
brain power. Every illiterate man
means just another tool in the
hands of corrupt interests which
depend upon the ignorant for
their support. Every man who
cannot read or write is in line for
the adoption of the most extreme
anarchistic and socialistic doe
trines consequently, that state is
in a poor way that has a possible
l11,116 persons who either have,
or will have, to depend upon 9th
ers for information on state at
fairs.
"The number of illiterates can
be decreased by an increase in the
effectiveness and universally OF
our school system; and the state
that would protect itself must free
it's citizens from the curse

preventable by the use of a little trou-
bic and foresight. This is a matter
