Man and Beast
The president of th3 trust, in an af-
fable, after-luncheon mood, stopped to
converse with old George, a stable-
man of factory No. 49 A.
"Well, George, how goes it?" he
said, taking a dollar cigar from his
mouth.
"Fair to middlin', sir,” George re-
plied. "Fair to middlin'."
And he continued to cjrrycomb a
bay horse, while the president con-
tinued to smoke and looked on in good
natured silence.
"Me and this here hoss," George
said .suddenly, "has worked for your
firm sixteen years.”
“Well, well,” said the president,
thinking a little guiltily of George's
seven-dollar salary. "And I suppose
you are both pretty highly valued,
George, eh?”
"Mm,” said George.- "The both of
us was took sick last week, and they
got a doctor for the hoss, but they
lust docked my pay.”
Cured Her Rheumatism.
Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 2d.—(Spe-
cial.)—There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of I. N. Whlpkey of Rheuma-
tism. She was a great sufferer for
five or six years and nothing seemed
to do her any good till she tried
Dodd’s Kidney Pills. She began to
Improve almost at once and now she
Is cured and can run and play as other
children do. Mr. Whlpkey says:
“I am Indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being
a cripple perhaps for life.**
Dodd’s Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and conse-
quently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills make the Kidneys right.

A disheveled, desperate looking man
burst through the guards of the great

Another Meanest Man
A well-to-do Chicago real estate
owner went Into a hardware store In
that city and asked the proprietor for
a pound of nails. The small pack-
age was made up and the price, a
nickel, handed to the merchant, when
the customer asked if the purchase
could be sent out to his house, which
was in a distant part of the city. The
merchant assented, and, calling an
errand boy, handed him the parcel,
with the nickel he had just received
for It .and said:
"Here, Johnny, take the car, and
take this package out to Mr. Blank’s
house.”
“What!” said the customer, “are
you going to give the boy the nickel
to take the parcel out?”
“Why, certainly,” said tne merchant.
“I wouldn’t think of asking him to
walk so far.”
“Well," said the meanest man in
Chicago, "If you would just as soon
give me the fiive cents, I will take it
out myself.”
How Many Acres Per Cow?
We have frequently asked how many
acres should be devoted to the pas
turage of one cow, and how many
cows can be pastured per acre. These
two questions are the same question
In another form, though they may be
differently answered. The number of
acres that should be devoted to the
pasturage of one cow must depend on
many things. Therefore no answer
can be given that will apply to all cir-
cumstances. In England It Is esti-
mated that on the best conducted
farms a cow Rnd a sheep can be sus-
tained throughout the growing season
by one acre of pasturage. It must be
remembered that these English pas-
tures have been carefully managed for
centuries and are probably the-best
In the world. In the United States
an attempt has been made to apply
the English rule to our pastures, and
with considerable success. We have,
however, a factor that does not come
within the scope of English farming,
and that is the large area of land new-
ly cleared, often half filled with
stumps that had ueen left to de-
cay, according to tte processes of
nature. It is evident that such land
will not sustain a cow and a sheep
per acre, no matter how luxuri-
ant the grass may be. The addition
of the soiling system to our methods
of agriculture has added a new ele-
ment to the problem. The soiling sys-
tem consists In giving the cows only
enough room to exercise, and cutting
and bringing to them all their green
feed, whether it consists of grass,
green corn, alfalfa, or other forage
crops. In such cases the pasture is
very small, and the feed producing
area of the farm very large. We know
of farms where this Is practiced,
where every acre of corn land Is ex-
pected to produce at least 15 tons of
green forage. This is more than can
be consumed by a cow in a year. In
such cases every acre all over the
land sustains more than does the Eng-
lish acre, which Is required to do its
.work only through the grazing season.
e have seen pastures In some parts
of the east that sustained at least four
cows per acre, but those were pas-
tures that were being managed for the
purpose of showing how much they
could be made to produce. The grass
was allowed to become large before
the cows were turned on it at all, and
they were kept on it for only a short
period at a time, two pastures being
alternated with each other. Under
these methods the grass stalks were
always large, which meant that the
growth would be rapid during all the
growing season. Short grass in pas-
tures Increases very slowly, but large
grass very rapidly. It Is thus seen
that the number of cows that a pas-
ture will sustain depends on the man-
agement and the objects the pasture
owner is striving to attain.—James

Review.

"Coffee gave me terrible spells of
Indigestion which, coming on every
week or so, made my life wretched
until some one told me that the coffee
I drank was to blame. That seemed
nonsense, but I noticed these attacks
used to come on shortly after eating
and were accompanied by such ex-
cruciating pains In the pit of the
stomach that I could only find re-
lief by loosening my clothing and
lying down.
“If circumstances made It impos-
sible for me to lie down I spent hours
In great misery.
"I refused to really believe It was
the coffee until Anally I thought a
trial would at least do no harm, so I
quit coffee in 1901 and began on Pos-
tum. My troubles left entirely and
convinced me of the cause.
"Postum brought no discomfort, nor
did Indigestion follow its use. I have
had no return of the trouble since I

The Milk in the Udder.
I see the statement that norma)
milk drawn from the healthy cow con-
tains no germs. In the light of certain
investigation, this statement is not
upheld. It was an early theory that
milk contained germs only after it
had left the udder. It was therefore
assumed that if milk could be drawn
without being contaminated by germs
in the air, or in the utensils, It would
keep almost indeAnitely. The demon-
stration of this was of course almost
impossible, because in practical opera-
tion milk could not he drawn from the
udders without being contaminated
by the air and without being put into
vessels that had also been exposed to
unsterilized air. The scientists, for a
while, accepted the belief thaOmllk in
the udder was free from germs, but
later investigations show that this was
not the case. At least In some of the
experiments made It has been shown
that In many cases germs are to be
found In normal milk produced by
healthy cows. Most of these germs
are in the fore milk, which is the milk
Arst drawn from the udder. The germs
decrease in number as the milk Is
drawn, until the milk drawn last is
practically free from the germ life.
That germs And their way into the ud-
der Is recognized by producers of Arst
class milk. These generally draw the
milk from the teats and keep it sep-
arate, rather than to permit It to go
into the milk that Is to be used in
commercial distribution.
