In South Bend they have many party
telephones. A matron on one uses uers
to talk to her sister. Often their con-
versation is interrupted by a young
treble voice demanding the line ito

Becoming suspicious, the matron one
day listened to the call which followed
the one the treble had interrupted.
And lol instead of the doctor the
young lady called young carpenter,
who was her best friend. Again and
again this happened-the request for
the phone to call a physician and then

righteously so. She had one day just
reached an important place in her con-

CHANCES in Times Reckoning.

So perfect was the Julian style OF
reckoning that it prevailed generally
among the Christian nations and re-
manned undisturbed till the minutes
had amounted in 1882 to ten complete
days, the vernal equinox falling on
the 18th instead of the 21st Of March.
This shifting of days has caused great
disturbance by unfxing the times of
the celebration of Easter, and hence
of all the movable feasts, and accord
ingly Pope Gregory, with the aid OF
CIavius, the astronomer, ordained that
ten days should be deducted from the
year 1882 by calling what would have
been the 9Th Of October according to
the old calendar, the 18th of October,
1852, by the new one. 1t was further
ordained that every hundredth year
should not be counted as leap year,
excepting every fourth hundredth be-
ginning with 1900. In this way the
difference between the civil and natu-
raj year will not amount to a day in
1900 years.

lect bulls that have the same family
lines in order that line breeding may
be practiced when the bulls are ex-
changed. Before the bulls are finally
purchased plenty of time should be
given to selecting the line Of breeding

Although records of production are
Of great Importance, it is very neces-
sary also that the bulls selected have
plenty Of strength. great vigor and
good body conformation. If the mem
bers are not experienced in buying
cattle, it is well to ask the state agri-
cultural college for advice and assist
ance in making the selection.
In buying bulls special care should
be taken to. see that the animals
chosen are healthy and especially that
they are free from the infection OF
either tuberculosis or contagious abor-
ton. If possible the bulls should be
purchased from herds accredited by
the bureau OF animal industry as be-
Ing free from tuberculosis. A list or
such herds may be obtained from the
bureau. If It is impossible to buy from
an accredited herd purchase from a
breeder who win furnish satisfactory
evidence that the animals have passed
the tuberculin test and have never
seacted to that test.

KING OF POLITICAL BOSSES"
William M. Tweed Has Had Many
Followers, But None May Be
Considered His Equal.

William NJ. Tweed, the most not0ri-
Gus boss in the history of New York,
wore, at the height of his power, the
$1,000 badge of Tammany, a tigers
head with eyes of ruby. surmounted by
three large diamonds. He died in
Ludlow street Jail, unable to raise bail
for his release.
Tweed was head of the Tammany
"Wigwam." He was a state senator
and at the same time a street commits
sioner. He had personal and political
following that remained faithful to
him even in his downfall. In July,
1871, figures were dug out of the coun-
ty books showing that Tweed and his
associates had been gouging the city
and county for millions of dollars.
One item alone was of $5,0O0000 for
carpets for the county court house.
1t was found that enough carpets had
been bOught-Or at least paid fOr-to
cover eight acres of City Hall park
three layers deep. A mass meeting of
citizens was held. Tweed was arrest
ed, and released on $1,000,000 bail.
Even after this, he was reelected to
the state senate by 1900 plurality.
He escaped from his house with the
connivance of his keepers, but was re-
turned. He was brought to trial in
1873, on a charge Of grand larceny and
forgery, and sentenced to Il years
Imprisonment and a heavy fine. The
sentence was reversed in 1875, but
Tweed was unable to furnish bail and
was committed to Jail. He escaped to
Spain later in the same year, was
caught and brought back on warship
and again imprisoned in Ludlow street
Jail, where he died.

prevailing In that section the oats and
wheat for the year in which the record
was taken were practically destroyed
and the straw was absolutely worth
less for feeding. To provide for lack
Of hay Is acres of millet and four OF
sorghum were grown.
The herd consisted of a bull and 15
grade cows, from which Is calves were
obtained. The cows were turned on
stalks November / and allowed to run
there until spring. They received ap-
proximately three acres of stalks, one
ton of millet hay. and one-third of a
ton of sorghum fodder each. Valuing
the millet at $3.50 a ton and the
sorghum at $4 ton, the winter feed
cost per cow was $3.50. The cows
were carried through the entire year
for net cost of $25.S5.

PROPER SELECTION OF BULL
One of the Most Important considera-
tons for Improvement of Herd
Look to Records.

rnanf of A gric1llt1lrel

ment of Agricultural
Since the use of meritOriOus pure
bred bulls is the means by which men,
bers Of a bull association expect to
improve their live stock, one of the
many important considerations is
the selection of the bulls. Such bulls
improve the herds, and the associa-
ton interest increases in proportion to
the improvement obtained. On the
other hand, poor bulls cause the in
terest to decrease accordingly. If
poor dairy bull is used the milk pro-
duction of the members herds is great
ly reduced, the interest is lessened,
and these conditions may lead to the
breaking UP Of the association. IN
fortunately, an excellent dairy bull
can be selected with certainty only
when MIS- daughters records are
known.
Such a tried or tested bull can be
depended upon with great certainty to
cause improvement in the herds in
the bull association. The owner of
a tried bull, however, usually knows
the record of the animals daughters
and rightfully asks high price for
him. The high cost often makes the
members hesitate to purchase such
bulls for the association, and instead
they buy younger and untried bulls
whose ancestors have made good pro-
duction records. No bulls should be
purchased for an association except
from one of these two classes. Con-
sidering the records of ancestors, the
most important are those of the sire
and dam. In the case Of the sire, pro-
duction record is taken as the average
of all his daughters records. Very
often the records of some of the an
cestors are lacking, but every effort
should be made to obtain bulls whose
ancestors in the first two generations
have an average yearly record of at
least 400 pounds of butterfat at ma
turity.
The state agricultural college may
be in a position to assist in looking
up pedigrees and records and always
should be consulted. AS soon as the
money can be provided for the pur-
pose, it is advisable for the associa-
ton to obtain a set of Advanced Regis
teri or Register of Merit" books
and, If possible, set of breed
registry books of the breed used, both
of which are valuable for reference to
ell the members of the association. In
formation in regard to the cost Of "Ad-
vanced Register and breed-registry
books may be obtained from the breed
associations as follows:

CAMERA DID EFFECTIVE WORK

Owner of Melon Patch Almost as
Much as 1t Did Thief.

One of the Companions subscribers
who was interested in our recent ar
ticle telling how the police had been
able to make arrests through the I'M
expected revelations of the camera
tells of an incident in which the cam
era did very efficient detective duty.
A farmer who owned a particularly
fine crop of melons was very much
disturbed because someone had been
stealing from his field. For several
evenings he watched but could not
gain any clue to the identity of the
culprit. More nights went by and
more melons disappeared. Finally, in
his evaporation, the farmer contrived
a trap. He selected the largest, most
attractive melon, tied one end of a
string to the stem and attached the
other TO a flashlight apparatus and a
camera, concealed in the shrubbery at
the edge of the garden. He set the
camera and flashlight so that slight
pull on the melon would fire the fash
light and snap the shuttec-
The next morning he found that the
fiashlight had been exploded; and so
he Immediately developed the plate.
To his establishment it revealed one of
his much-respected neighbors in the
act of cutting off the melon stem! At
loss to know just how to deal with
this delicate situation. he finally
evolved plan. He made print Of
the negative ON a postcard and mailed
1t to the neighbor in question. Need
less to say, all melon stealing ceased
at once, and the melon patch -four
ished for the rest Of the season.

Weekly Health Talks
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, NJ. D.

Uric acid is now generally recog-
nized as the cause of more diseases
than was heretofore believed. When
the kidneys are out of order uric acid
accumulates within the body in SUPER
abundance. The disordered kidneys
do not filter the poisons out of the
blood, as they ought tC do, and so the
poisons remain in the blood and float
around until they find a place to
lodge, in form Of urate salts. The
thing to remember is that you may
have rheumatism in any part of the
body-you may have pains anywhere
your back may ache and your head
may be dizzy-but the trouble is not
where the pain appears.
The trouble is in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do? You must
get that excess uric acid out of your sys-
tenn. which can be done by taking AnuriG
Tablets, the splendid remedy which DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has put on sale
in the drug stores at a low price. Anurio
Tablets (made double strength, when
taken into the system as medicine, have
the peculiar power of dissolving the uric
acid deposited there. Drop bit OF sugar
or salt into hot water, and it will disap-
pear, In precisely the same way do these
Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid. OF
course. after Kidding the system of uric
acid, it may return again unless you eat
the right foods and live the right kind of
life, but DR.. Pierce will advise you fully
On proper food and correct living if you
write and ask him. He makes no charge
for such advice. Take Anuric Tablets to-
day, by all means, and get that uric acid
out of your system. Don't, don't, don't,

REDUCING COST IN FEEDING
Farm By-Products Can Be Used More
Extensively to Reduce Cost of
Cattle Rations.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That it is possible to feed beef cows
in the corn belt more economically dur
ing the winter is shown by report
OF United States department of agri-
culture Investigators who made study
of winter feeding costs on five repre-
sentative farms in that section. This
reduction in the cost of feeding is pos
sible without detriment to the cows or
calves through larger use of farm by
products in the rations.
Avoid feeding excessively, avoid cost
~ rations, use more cheap roughages:
such as straw and corn slower, feed ST.
lage where conditions make it more
economical than corn fodder.
The first farm used as an example
is in east central Iowa. The breeding
herd consisted of a grade bull and %
grade cows, from which 20 calves were
obtained. The cows were given excess
sive amounts of high-priced feed for
both of the years for which records
were procured, says the bulletin.
They were turned on stalks Novem-
Der Is. Winter feeding began a few
days later and lasted until May /,
when the cows were again turned on
pasture. During the 165-day interval
each COW received the following:
Stalks. L is acres at 81 an acre.
Fodder. rs acre. at $35 an acre.
Mixed hay..............A ton, at $40 ton.
Corn. ....................2 bus. at $0.65 Il bu.
AS the average yield Of corn on this
farm was so bushels to the acre, and
as the best corn was cut for fodder,
the cows, considering the corn In the
fodder and the additional grain fed,
received total of % bushels per head.
This is almost a fattening ration. If
the corn had been husked from the
fodder and only the slower fed, there
for the cows. Estimating that three
fourths of a ton of slower was eaten
per acre of stalks and that the stoyer
from the fodder fed would go two tons
to the acre, and allowing the cows
three bushels of corn each during the
winter instead of %, they would re-
ceive the following daily ration:
! Slower ..-..-......-..........-.... .206 pounds
Mixed hay -......---...----....... 30 pounds
Corn ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 10 pound
This ration would be sufficient for
their needs.
By merely eliminating the excessive
amount of corn (19 bushels) from the
ration a saving of $11.40 could have
been made and the feed bill reduced
very nearly one-half, or from $24 to
$3.50 per cow.
Rations ON the fifth farm inspected
by the investigators are pronounced
very satisfactory. This farm Gao

enty acres were in corn, % in oats,
