COWS AND COWS.
One Animal Differs from Another and
Must Be Fed and Managed
Accordingly.
A good cow in good condition may
eat my ration as given and make one
and a half or two pounds of butter fat
per day. Another cow in good condi-
tion will eat and digest the same
amount of feed and make but a pound
of butter—how about her in relation
to her feed? This is the problem a
Pennsylvania farmer is seeking to
solve, and in reply to his question the
Ohio Farmer says: That does not dis-
prove that the possible milk producing
elements were in her ration, for on a
similar ration the other cow made the
greater returns. It is not in the feed.
It is in the cow, and if she will keep
on doing her daily one pound task for
about 300 days she is meeting her ob-
ligations even to the extent of being
conspicuous in such modest perform-
ance; but the other cow is a very much
better cow.
Again, there Is a good conditioned
cow that on such a ration makes only
half a pound of butter a day, what
shall we s-y of her? She is a fraud,_
a hanger on, an absorber of the sweat
of the outside of the dairyman’s brow
because he doesn't sweat a little more
on the inside of it. Such a cow
should be stuffed with nubbins and
other cheap feeds and moved on to the
butcher.
The government is going to embark
in the production of these general pur-
pose animals; these misfits nf the live
stock industry, we are told, as if we
didn’t already have them in herds and
droves. We dairymen mai not always
know what we want hut there are
many simple things we know we don’t
want.
REAR SLANTING HOG HOUSE
Canadian Authority Gives Some New
Ideas in Reference to
Arrangement.
Grisdale, of Ontario, has a design of
a hog house that will appear as some-
what unique to American hog raisers.
The general idea of the plan may be
secured by referring to the accompany-
ing illustration. The passage down the
middle is represented as higher than
any other portion of the bog house.
Conveniently arranged on either side
are the troughs, and back of these is
the feeding floor slanting to the rear
of the pen. On a raised platform in
“Be Pleasant Every Morning Until
Ton O’clock; the Rest of the Day
Will Take Care of Itself."
This is one of the best little ser-
mons we know. Havo you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper is usu
ally ruffled, and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause cf
bad temper in the mornln ; is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? It has contained a lot of indi-
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. It
breaks up your rest and you wake up
in the morning tired, instead of re-
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad-
monition to "Be pleasant every morn-
ing until 10 o’clock; the rest of the
day will take care of itself.” for they
digesteu their food and woke up full
of life and energy ready for the day's
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods ins’ v*.i of high-
ly seasoned palatable concoctions,
which contain no nourishment. Na-
ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods a person can
live indefinitely, but if the milk is
skimmed, and if the outside of the
wheat is taken oft the kernel, and if
the lime, the salt, and Ihe iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat
berry, if these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
! goes into the stomach and becomes
; sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
t could live indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
! all set forth in a book called “Back
to Nature,” which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals of
I the simple kind—the kind that makes
you strong and well; the kind that
makes you "Pleasant every morning
until 10 o’clock.” This book is pub-
lished at a great expense, but it is
given free to every reader of this
paper. It is an advertisement of
"EGG-O-SEE,” the great food—which
is made from whole wheat, which is
baked and predigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers. You get more
life and energy from a 10-cent pack-
age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get
from a thousand dollars’ worth of
white bread. This is no idle claim.
It is a scientific fact. We want to
tell about this simple food question,
so write us and say “Please send me
a copy of your book ‘Back to Na-
ture,’ ” and the book will be sent you
at once without charge. Address

POCKET CAUGHT THE BALI
Home-Run Hit In Game of Baseba’>
Made Through Singular
Circumstance.
Minneapolis.—Dr. C. H. Kohler has
a baseball which he would not sell
for love or money. It was not given
him, nor did he take it. It crawled
into his pocket, and thereby hangs
an interesting little narrative of th6
queer things appertaining to the na-
tional game.
A few days ago Dr. KoMer was drlv
ing his automobile up Nicollet avenue,
Suddenly he felt a bump on his right
side. Inside the inclosure the man
of healing could hear the populace
yelling like a tribe of Indians at a
beef issue. He turned on the power
of his car to the limit to get to the
game in time to participate in the
whooping. As a whooper at the ball
game the doctor Is a willing worker,
and never shirks his free horn privi-
lege of yelling as often and as loud
as he pleases.
Once insde the f°nce, having part-
ed with his 50 cents, the healer sat
him down with a group of friends and
demanded an
of the yells. They explained with
gusto how Jimmy Hart, the hard-
hitting first baseman of the Minne-
apolis team, had just put the ball
over the fence for the longest hit ever
seen on Nicollet field.
The spirit of the physician warmed
at the thought of the great hit and
he stuck his hand in his overcoat
pocket for a handkerchief to wave at
Tames.
He drew out—not a handkerchief,
but a new baseball with a deep dent
in one side of it.
He had caught Hart’s long fly in his
pocket while speeding up Nicollet ave-
nue in his automobile. It is the rec-
ard catch of a home run in baseball
history—but the umpire did not see
it. As Minneapolis won by one run
the ball is highly valued.
Beyond Expression.
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence, Ala.,
writes:
"For nearly seven years I was af-
flicted with a form of skin disease
which caused an almost unbearable
itching. I could neither work, rest
or sleep in peace. Nothing gave mo
permanent relief until I tried Hunt’s
Cure. One application relieved me,
one box cured me, and although a
year has passed, I have stayed cured.
I am grateful beyond expression.”
Hunt’s Cure is a guaranteed cure
for all itching diseases of the skin.
Price 50c.
TICKLESOME TRIFLES.
CROSS SECTION OF HOG HOUSE.
the rear is the sleeping place for the
hogs. The floors are supposed to be
made of cement, so laid that all water
will tend to run to the rear and to one
of the two- corners. This provides a
rear drainage, and as the water must
pass under the sleeping platform
there is reason to believe that this
will always be fairly dry.
Different Kinds.
“A man in politics should have lots
of friends, shouldn't he?”
"It depends,” answered Senator Sorg-
hum, "on whether they are friends

| who want you to do something for
! them.”—Washington Star.
“Many Good—One Best.”
So many Oils and Liniments are
advertised it is hard to decide which
j to buy. I tried a number before
j using Hunt's Lightning Oil. After
| using it once, however, I realized I
| had found the best there was, and it
1 was useless to look further. If it
fails it’s “all off.” No other liniment
will hit the spot if Hunt's Lightning
Oil fails.

GRAY HAIR IS A DISEASE.
Caused by Pigment-Consuming Ce!’
Which Is Easily Dis-
posed Of.
Paris.—No one need be gray haired
who does not wish to be, declares Prof.
Metchnikoff, the great Russian biolo-
gist and embryologist. Metchnikoff
told his savants of the Academy of
Medicine lately that gray hair on the
human head is a kind of disease caused
by the superactivity of a certain living
cell inside each hair which feeds on
the pigment. A comparatively low
degree of heat is fatal to this cell,
which shrivels and dies if one passes
an iron heated to 60 degrees centi-
grade (140 degrees Fahrenheit)
through his or her locks.
The learned Russian again states
| the fact that great emotion will turn
the hair gray in a night. But he has
a new reason for it. He says fear or
sorrow has strange power to stimulate
the pigment-devouring hair cell, which
literally fattens on human misery.
Metchnikoff further told the aston-
ished savants that the chameleon s
frequent changes of color are due to
the same singular organism which is
made superlatively active by the liz-
ard-reptile’s intense timidity.
If & girl really has beautiful arms
*he Is naturally well qualified to learn
to play the harp.—Somerville Journal
KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.
Cattle and Fresh Paint.
Cattle should never have access to
fresh paint containing lead. Aside
from marring the artistic effect, they
may lick off enough to cause death.
We have known several cases of this
kind. In one instance, related by the
Ruial New Yorker, while the cows
were being driven from pasture at
night they passed a newly painted
building. One sniffed at the white
paint on the corner, and before the
driver could scare her away she had
lapped it several times, She died a
few hours inter.
Bad Effect of Athletics.
"This man,” explained the hospital
doctor, “Is the victim of athletics.”
"Ah, overtrained, I suppose.”
“No, he never trained a bit. The
fellow who hit him had, though.”—
Philadelphia Ledger.
Both
Too Much So.
“Why do you call that ferocious bull•
dog of your ‘Icy?’ ”
"Because when he once attaches
himself to a person he clings to one
so.”—Baltimore American.
New Pen Metal.
I duiu steel and gold pens are, ap-
parently, doomed. Dr. Werner von
Bolton delivered before the Electro-
Technical association in Berlin the
other day an address in which he de-
scribed the new metal tantalite, which
is so hard that a diamond drill makes
! no Impression on it. Pens made from
i it are Indestructible, and more elastic
than gold pens.
I “De reason,” said Uncle Eben, "why
de elephant an’ de mule figures so
much in politics is dat one alius wants
to he on parade an’ de other is alius
ready to kick.’’—Washington Star.
Clergyman’s Diamond Wedding.
Rev. Sir John L. Hoskyns, an Eng-
lish clergyman, recently celebrated
his diamond wedding. Both he and
his wife are in their ninetieth year
and are still actively at work In the
| parish of which he has been rector
itor 61 year*
ft's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
“I bad used coffee for years and
really did noc exactly believe it was
Injuring me although I had palpita-
tion of the heart every day.
“Finally one day a severe and al-
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time I have had ab-
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when I tried
a small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me l must let it alone.
“When we began using -Postum it
seemed weak—that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions—but now we put a little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full 15 min-
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
"I have advised a great many of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I
daily give this advice.” Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. "There’s a reason.”
