Just so evil in the blood

using Hood's Sarsaparilla.
In older people, the aftermath
of irregular living shows it
self in bilious conditions, a
heavy head, a foul mouth,
disordered kidneys, yellow eye and
skin, with a general had feeling.
It is the hlood, the impure blood,
friends, which is the real cause. Purify

Gentlemen For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system,
and no one knows the torture and
misery I have passed through. My
doctor has prescribed various reme

until I was persuaded by a friend to
use Dr. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the
use of one bottle I feel like a new

Everything that affects the welfare
of the people is a legitimate subject
of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not a narrow man.
It is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms is rap
Idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov
ered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know of its virtues, and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject, To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca

In the case of Neol vs. Ellis for the
infringement of the trade-mark "Vit-ae-Ore"
as applied to a medicinal prep
aration it was decided by Judge Wool
sen at Des Moines, January 6, '99, as
follows:
"The words 'Vitalizing Ore' are so
similar in sound, if not in appsarance,
to the worus vitae-Ore' as to be cal
culated to mislead and deceive the
public and intending purchasers, and

As a matter of fact nearly all suc
cessful manufacturers of machinery
and other useful products are protect

trade-maiks. The advantage of regis

agreeable, offensive flavor. Before be
ginning to milk, each milker sees that
his hands are clean, not merely that
they look clean, but they are as free
as possible from germs. For this pur
pose it is often necessary to wash in
hot water previous to milking. Each
milker is provided with a canton flan
nel cloth, which Is moistened and used
to wipe off the sides and udder of the
cow. This removes the loose particles
of dust and moistens the rest so that
they will not so readily fall into the
milk bucket. Theso cloths, as well as
the cloth strainers, are thoroughly
washed and sterilized with boiling wa
ter after each milking.
The milk pail used is called the "san
itary dairy pail." It is made of heavy
tin and is covered on top. In this
cover is a six-inch hole, into which
fits a circular removable strainer. The
milk is milked directly into this
strainer. This style of milk pail
keeps out of the milk the dust and
hairs that fall in spite of the precau
tions already mentioned. Any one
doubting the desirability of such a
milk pail need doubt no longer after
once seeing the appearance of the pail
after milking. In spite of the best
precautions, the top of the pail will be
covered with numerous hairs and dust
particles, enough to spoil the digestion
of any man if he only knew what he
was swallov.ing when he drinks the
milk out of an open milk pail. Each
cow's milk is weighed, sampled, and
again strained through a wire strain
er, and finally through four thicknesses
of cheese cloth. This wire strainer is
so constructed that the miik Is strain
ed on an upward pressure. Any par
ticles of dirt remaining in the milk
and settling to the bottom will net he
forced through the strainer by the
pressure of the milk above. From the
cheese cloth strainer the miik is re
ceived into fcrty-quart milk cans. We
have two styles of cans, the Nevr York
and the Chicago. We prefer the, for
mer, for two reasons, la the first place,
the lid is oval and will not collect dust
like the lid of the Chicago can. and
can be cleaned much easier. In the
second place when it is desired to keep
the milk any length of time, the New
York can may be immersed in water.
The lid projects below the top of the
can and the pressure of air inside keeps
the water from the milk, on the same
principle as the cans cf the Cooley
ci earner.
The milk is brought to the dairy
room as soon as possible after being
milked and strained, and is aerated, a
half a can at a time, with the Hill
aerator. A tin pipe projects above the
roof of the dairy room, where fresh air
is secured and conducted through ab
sorbent cotton (to remove any germs
or dust particles) into bellows, where
it is forced through the milk. Any
one standing near the can of milk
while this operation is being perform
ed cannot fail to notice the cowy odor
that is given off. This is kept up un
til the animal odor is removed. In
this way nearly all the taints in milk,
not due to germs, can be removed, and
it has been found by experience that
milk is much more digestable after be
ing aerated. After aeration, the milk
is cooled over a Star or Champion cool
er to between 50 and CO degrees F., at
which temperature it is kept until
deilvered to the college dining hall or
the creamery or warmed up for the
separator. When separation takes
place immediately after milking, the
milk goes directly from the aerator to
the separator without being cooled. To
some, and perhaps to many, of our
busy readers, this process may appear
long and tedious, but practical expe
rience has proven that after once ac
customed to it much of this work can
be done in less time than it takes to
tell it, and the difference in the quali
ty of the milk is the difference between
pure, wholesome milk and dirty, filthy
milk. Straining through wire and
cloth will not take oat dirt that has
once become dissolved in the milk, nor
will it remove the taints that arise
from the feed. A man may have a
right to use filthy and tainted milk If
he wants to, but the consumer of
both milk and its products also have a
right to enter a vigorous orotest
against this same man selling his
filthy milk as a pure food product
Milk adulterated with filth and dirt Is
to be condemned even more than but
ter adulterated with oleomargarine.
Both are deceiving the consumers.
While the dairyman is protesting
against the manufacture and sale of
oleomargarine a3 butter, and every
true dairyman should be, let him at
the same time make sure that he is
not open to criticism by adulterating
his milk with dirt or filth of any kind.

(Condensed from Farmers Review Stcn
OKraphlc llvport.)
W. W. Noyes read a paper on poul
try on the farm. In part he said: Se
lect your breeding pen in February
from your two aud three-year-cld
hens. Never use pullets. The chicks
from ttie old hens will he stronger
than from the pullets. Get your malo
birds from some one that makes a
business of raising bloo'ded fowls. Do
not keep a male with your laying
hens. Ho Is a useless expense and the

A GREAT BUTTER PRODUCER.
the same. If you produce fowls for
market you must cater to the market.
If the market demands a yellow-legged
chicken you must provide it.
Eggs pay better than chickens for
market, but to get eggs your fowls
must have some egg-making mate
rials. The best food I ever gave
young chickens was cheese and made
from sour skimmilk. The best feed for
laying hens is wheat and sour milk.
Most of the chickens raised on the
farm are stunted in their early growth,
largely due to not having enough wa
ter for drinking. In beginning the
raising of poultry do as you would in
going upstairs begin at the bottom
and go up one stair at a time. The
demand for poultry products is far
greater than the supply. Last year we
imported more than 13,000,000 dozen
eggs, at a cost of about 2,000,000.
Q. Is it a fact that the egg produc
tion of the farmers' hen is less than
formerly, and if so, to what do you
attribute it?
A. I havo heard some people say
that, but I do not know that it is true.
If it is true I must attribute it to two
things. In the early days the farmers
used to carry through the winter the
business hens, but now they sell them
off and carry over the young chickens
that do not lay. The second reason is
that the farmers are overbreeding for
size and feather. I think that if the
I farmers would go back to first prin
ciples and breed for business hens
they would have better success.
Q. Have you ever figuicd out the
cost of producing a pound of pouitry
with different feeds?
A. That has been figured so many
times and iu so many ways that I do
not try to do it, and the same is true
of the cost of producing a dozen eggs.
Q. What amount of skill is neces
sary to make a success of raising poul
tiy on the farm? Does it require more
skill than it does to handle the dairy
or swine business?
A. The poultry business, like every
ether business, must be learned if oue
is going into it with hopes of success.
Q. Do .on use artificial heat in
your poultry house?
A. No, sir.
A Farmer. I live out here two and
a half miles from town, and am en
gaged in the dairy btishif-ss. My wife
Is in the poultry business. She take?
care of about 50 to 60 liens, and evtry
mornin in winter time she has a
warm breakfast for the chickens. She
cooks sugar beets for them and gen
erally puts in some seasoning. At
this time we have only about 43 hens
and wo are getting from one to two
dozen eggs per day. Our eggs are car
ried into town every day and sold with
the milk, and we are unable to supply
the demand at 25 cents per dozen.
F. M. Munger read a paper on the
same subject. In part he said: There
are a few simple rules which, if fol
lowed, would add much to the income
of the farmer. Have a good permanent
house for the poultry apart from any
other building. Have this building so
clean and sweet that it can be visited
at any time, and you can stay for any
length of time without feeling that
you must go outside to get fresh air.
Keep the hens dry and clean. Wet
hens will not lay eggs, neither will
cold ones. Cold houses will mean the
stopping of the egg supply in cold
weather. All fowls need exercise, hut
this is especially true of laying hens.
A scratching shed should also be pro
vided. A house 10x12 feet should not
be expected to accommodate more
than twenty-five hens. The scratching
shed should be bedded with straw and
hay and the fowls kept at work. Be
sure they have a balanced ration, as
eggs cannot be produced unless the
proper food be provided. "l try to feed
my breeding stock oniy such food as
will keep them in geed healthy con
dition. This gives good healthy
flocks, and such flocks will do well
even though from weak parents.
If I were working to produce eggs
for market I would use cut bone every
day. Another important Item, when
the fowls do not have a wide range.
i is to give tnem cuopped clover hay.
1 Some green food is needed every day.
Chickens are like humans. In that they
like a change of food, though what is
good for the production of eggs is not
good for the fattening of fowls; when
you want to accomplish the latter corn
is the proper ration. Hens need much
water, for the egg contains about as
much water as the same bulk of milk.
Do not mix the breeds, for a mixed
flock for the farmer is a delusion and
a snare. Little or no inbreeding should
bo practiced. There are several ways
to get good thoroughbred fowls. The
best way is to get, say one male, and
from four to six females. Raise the
chickens from them, and the start will
have been obtained. Sell off your com -mon
stock and uso pure-bred males
each year.
PIC Pork.
For many years I have sold or
butchered for home us all the pigs
raised on the farm at from six to seven
months old, as I am convinced that it
costs less to mako pork from young
animals and gives a better quality of
meat, and of course reduces the risk of
loss from disease, not only because it
reduces the time of feeding but also
because to get a pig to weigh 200
pounds or more at seven mouths old it
must be fed so as to be In perfect
health, and when this is the case t e
danger of loss from disease is .x
ceedingly small, writes Waldo F.
Brown in Practical Farmer. I very
much doubt if this can be done rom
feeding corn alone, as it does not build
up the bone and muscle sufficiently,
and it is also difficult to keep the di
gestion good for a long period on such
an unbalanced food as corn, and no
matter how cheap corn may be, I do
not think I can afford to feed it ex
clusively to hogs except for a short pe
riod near the time when they are to bo
marketed. I breed my sows for two
litters a year, to farrow in April and
October, and while I can make an April
pig weigh 200 pounds a little quicker
than I can an October pig, I believe
that as a rule the price Is higher in
the spring than in the fall, and the dif
ference in the profit of the spring and
fall litters is small. I find that it takes
good and careful feeding to make a
pig at six or seven months old weigh
one pound for each day that it is old,
and no careless feeder will do it; for
to succeed it is necessary to keep the
pig thrifty from birth to block. A
careless feeder thinks that it makes
little difference if the pigs are overfed
occasionally, or fed at irregular hours,
but if the digestion is once impaired it
will often result in feeding for many
days at a loss, and every time that this
is repeated makes the animal more
likely to get off its feed again. One
rule in feeding for the best results is
to give a little less food than the ani
mals would eat, so that they will al
ways come to their feed with a good
appetite. I find that I can feed corn
heavily for a period of four or five
months if at the same time my pigs
will eat some bulky or succulent food.
Bran is excellent, and when I cannot
get a cheaper food I always use it; but
to make it palatable and to get them to
cat enough of it, I make a slop of it,
and use a quart of old process oil mea!
to each peel: of the bran and a larse
handful of salt. This slop is fed about
as thick as it will run in the trough,
and I have been feeding twelve pigs
about five mouths old on it for several

Cinurihin Uto Stuck Trade.
In a report to the State Department
the American consular agent at Monc
ton, Ont., states that the British mar
ket for Canadian cattle was not sat
isfactory last season to Canadian ship
pers, though freight rates and fodder
have been cheaper. The total number
cf cattle shipped was 10',2S1 head, of
which 5,719 were United States stock
shipped in bond. It is also added that
the average cost is $5 per head lower,
making a total value of $5,570,455.
Ocean freight, at an average of $8.75
per head, amounts to $SS6.20S.75, while
the railway charges were $3.25 per
head, or a total cf $329,163.25. It also
appears from official statistics that the
sheep trade is in the same bad condi
tion. The shipments for the season
were 34,991 head, showing a decrease
of 26,263 as compared with 1897, and a
decrease of 45,650 from 189C. The
value, at an average price of $5 per
head, amounted to $174,935. This
branch of the live-stock trade has
fallen away fully 75 per cent within
fee past three years. The export of
horses for the past season also shows
a decrease of about 50 per cent as
compared with 1867. The total ship
ments for the season of 1S9S amounted
to 5,822 head, showing a decrease of
4,226 compared with 1897 and of 4,203
from 1896.
A cow that calves iu the early fall
while on grass, is in the best condition
to make a high yield when fresh. Good
feed and care through the winter will
maintain a good yield, and when the
cow is turned to pasture in the early
spring, a fresh How will be started that
j will considerably increase the year's
yieid.

Annexationists are advocating the
