I commenced about 28 years ago and have continued ever since whenever I consider it necessary says Mr. Richard Sparks. I generally test matters of consequence and am not easily carried away by «way new argument to the contrary. I have had experience enough in this line cooked food for health and appetite for stock or fattening hogs. Dissolve one-fourth pound concenâ€" trated lye in two or three gallons of water, then add 11} bushels of shelled corn and a bucketfull of oats, par- ings from apples, potatoes, turnips, scraps from the house. beef or nog cracklings or anything else that \xill‘ serve as a seasoning and cause the mass to become palatable. ' Then put in enough of water to give the ingredients a thorough cooking. Turnips may be raised for this purâ€" pose and small potatoes can be used. The above mixture may be preparâ€" ed in a. larger quantity, if desired. Hogs eat the preparation greedin and will leave any other feed for it. I have used it for a period of 28 years with SPLENDID SU C 0138 S . I have never, by disease, lost a hog that was fed previously on this pre- paration, and have checked the disâ€" ease when prevailing by feeding it. Feed the cooked material warm and see that each animal gets a share, three or four times a week. I often feed it every day and especially durâ€" ing cold weather. I also put it in the watering trougis to keep the water from freezing. Trials have proved that hogs like cooked feed better with the lye than without it. I would not be but a few hogs. One sow and {arrow with cooked food is sufficient satisâ€" faction for the investment. My prin- ce» 0E@ to convince myself of the efficiency of - ’ c. ~ round every box.

The cook- or can, also be used for a number of other plll‘pOch. Fuel is not an ex- pensive featurc, provided attention is given the damper and the kind of fuel used. Burn cobs, and when a good bed of coals is secured place in a few large chunks of coal or a few large sticks of wood, close the 'damâ€" per and they will hold a good fire for a long time. First have large room with roof not less than 8 feet high, ventilaâ€" tion along caves of roof for dry, warm sleeping quarters. Then do not be too fastidious to get in freâ€" qucntly and sweep it perfectly clean. Shake bedding ‘of straw up frequentâ€" ly and also CHANG E IT OFTEN. If roof is low you will fail to clean the room. it is just as essential to have a warm place for hogs to eat in during winter. If you feed in the cold wind during a bad spell of weatlrer‘and the hogs hold their own you are a lucky feeder. Weigh your hogs before and after and note the consequences. The watering troughs of the feeders are generally oneâ€"half full of mud. Keep them clean and during very cold windy days place them on Io ding floor where they can eat, drink and sleep warm and snug. In cold, windy weather or rainy, chilly weather, I find by having my preparation cooked aad warmed is an inducement to eat heartily and almost as freely as in fair weather. I keep salted ashes always in \a trough so they have free access to it. I sprinkle everything they use frequently with crude curbolic acid. The best argument that I can pro- duce 0r muster up in favor of cooked feed for a change is that I am not threshing with equal satisfaction.

It is a trying time to all women, and a time when Dr, Chase's Nerve Food will prove of incalculablo value. - By supplying an abundance of rich, red, lifeâ€"sustaining blood, this great food cure helps women to pass safety-the periods of trial in their lives: ‘g_lt strengthens an'd invigor- ates the delicate feminine organism, and builds up the whole system. Mrs. Chas. Keeling, 5811., Owen Sbun'd, Ont., writes: "It is a pleasâ€" ure to tell what great benefits I have derived from the use of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food. I am fifty-five years of age, and for about. five years my life was one of great sui- foring dram nervousness, weakness and extreme physical exhaustion. I could not sleep, and hot flushes would pass through my body from . his. !

Is the Cause of Most of the Misery in Everyday Lifeâ€"Improve the Blood and. Disease Will Not Exist. Among the many thousands who testify to.the Value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as a blood and nerve tonic is Miss Mary Jackson, Norâ€" mandale, Ont.,_ who says :â€""I have used Dr. Williams Pink Pills and have derived such great benefit from them that I consider it my duty to let others know their worth. For upwards of three years I suffered from anaemia, and grew so weak that I could scarcely walk about the house. I had no color in my face, my lips and gums were bloodless, I lost all ambition, suffered, from headaches, and fell away in weight until I weighed only nineiyâ€"four SHEEP NOTES . The earliest lambs bring the high- est prices. Roots are indispensable in feeding sheep. Overfee'dlng is feeding. For poor lands and short pastures sheep are better than cattle. The best sheep is the most profit- able one under all circumstances. With sheep a. chance of rough food is as essential 05 well as of grain. All flocks should be graded accordâ€" as bad as under- pounds. I doctored a great deal, . I . . but it did not seem to 'do me any mg to age, $120 and condition as good. I was then advised-to try far as possible. Medium sized sheep usually have the best and heaviest fleeces. Sheep will appear to a better vantage if graduated according 'to the size, kind and quality. The permanent ferti ity of a farm is increased to a great extent by the number of sheep kept on the farm. Dr. Williams Pink Pills and before I had taken them ten days I felt better and my people could see a change in me. I continued using the pills for some weeks and am nowin the very best of health. Every de- pressing symptom has passed away and I haveL gained fourteen pounds in weight. I think there is no mediâ€" cine can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink It is always good economy to proâ€" Pil’s and I strongly recommend vide plenty of bedding for sheep as they will keep healthier and thrive better. Sheep are mals to put into a. good and it will be easier to keep flock thrifty. Sheep should be kept in small flocks during the winter, and be fed grain in roughs and roughness _ in rocks. Wool scaked with water chills the skin of the sheep, while a coat of dry wool will protect it against the severest cold. ' Wool is a product that 'does not take fertility from the soil like grain growing, but actually odds to the value of the soil for growing grass. Sheep to fatten the most rapidly and on the least grain must be kept quiet and not be allowad to run .ver so much ground as to run the flesh off them. Give the yearling sheep extra atâ€" tention as sheep genezally require more care and better feed ‘at this age then later. M THE BLOOM OF IIEALTH. .â€"â€"-â€" them 'to all weak and ailing girls.” Miss Jackson’s experience should bring hope to all the weak, ailing girls and women. What those pills have done for her they will do for others. Every dose adds tone and vigor to the blood and nerves, brings a glow of health to sallow cheeks,. a sparkle to the eyes and a ruby re'dness to pallid lips. No other medicine has done so much to bring comfort and health to weak girls and women. If you are ailing give the pills a fair trial and new health and strength will be yours. Do not accept any pink colored substitute; the "genuine pills always have the full name “Dr. Williams Pink Pi‘ls for Pale people" printed on the the most difficult ani- condition the Wil- _______________________.___.._â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€".. bothered with disease nor troubled in any way in fattening, something of the greatest importance to every western farmer and stock feeder. I think there is nothing better than 'dry ear corn and dry oats for fattening hogs. I would want noth- ing better if they stay heathy and have a good appetite. I have no use for corn meal eit‘her cooked or raw. Nor have I much use for bran for hogs when fattening or otherâ€" wise, except for sows suckling pigs, in which case it may occasionally be used in moderation. Little children always need careful attentionâ€"but they do not need strong 'drugs. When any ailment comes they should not be drugged in- to insensibility with the soâ€"callcd "soothing" medicines, nor should they be given strong nauseous, gripâ€" ing purgatives. The very best medi- cine in the world for such troubles as colic, sour stomach, indigestion, constipation, Ilia-rhoea, worms, GASOLINE ENGINES, colds, simple fevers and teething troubles is Baby’s Own Tablets.‘ if I use a gaSOIine engine of six horse power of the two-cylinder type. I have had no experience in silo work, but can get about 1% tons per hour of dry stalks half inch long with a 13-inch cutter writes Mr. A. C. Inâ€" It requires only about half the power of engine to do this. The capacity for wood sawing is 1111â€" limited, decending only on the amount of wood the men can get on the table and the feeder can get through the saw in a given time. I cut over 300 cor'ds from December 1, 1902, to April 1, 1903, and peddled a looâ€"quart milk route afl but four days." We expect to get through from 15 to 20 cords in ten hours, depending on kind and condition of wood, and whether it is of easy ac- cess. I I cut live cords In one hour and your little ones suffer from any of these troubles give them the Tablets and see how quickly they will bring back the bloom of health. Give the little ones an occasional dose of the Tablets and you will keep them well. Mrs. Robt. Hanna, Elgin, Ont, has proved the truth of these statements and says :â€"“I find Baby’s Own Tab- lets the best remedy for indigestion and teething troubles.” The Tablets cost 25 cents a box, and may be had from druggists or by mail from The Dr. Williams Medicine 00., Dr ckville, Ont. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"+ JAPANESE JIUâ€"JITSU. ..._â€" Method of Defence Used Effectively by Policemen. .
