Fall Calves. to
If the prime object is to produco the
greatest quantity of milk and at the
greatest profit the evidence Is over
whelming that the cows should lc
bred so that they will freshen during
the late fall months. Calves dropped
in tho fall are moro chcaply raised and
make better cows than those dropped
during the spring and summer months.
On the farm it Is quite the cus
tom to give the cows bettor care in the
winter than during tho busy season.
The cow that drops a calf just as win
ter sets in is housed in a good warm
stable and given the care and feed that
is so essential Just at this period. Sh
produces a big How of millc when dairy
products command high prices and
when there is time, lo give the. dairy
work attention. When spring conies
and the flow of 111.Hk naturally de
creases, owing to the period of lacta
tion, the cow Is supplied with succu
lent pasturage^and the How of milk Is
again Increased. As the hot weather
comes on and the pastures dry up the
farm work Is rushing? and the cow is
neuring that period when she is entitled
to a Well-earned rest. Her dry
period conies when the files are most
active and the farm work is par
ticularly rushing. So much for the
cow and her work.
The calf dropped In the fall does
not require very much expensive feed
the first few months and is "wintered"
at a very low cost. It runs In
tho pasturo the next summer and
reaches the age of one year at very
little expense. The calf dropped In
the spring can make but very little
use of the cheap summer feed the first
season and Is stunted In growth
by the hot weather and Hies. It will
consume a great deal of expensive
feed the first winter and it is safe
to say that by the time it has reached
tho age of one year it will have cost
its owner twice as much as -the calf
droyped in the late fall. Winter dairy
ing is far better than summer dairy
ing for our farmers.
Cholera or Bad Food?
In 1S98 I was in Austin. Tex. There
a man was feeding a thousand head of
cattle, the feed was cotton seed meal
and cotton seed hulls. I asked him why
he did not have hogs to follow the cat
tle. Ho replied that cotton seed meal
would kill them, would tear their kid
neys all to pieces. A year after I came
to Warren county, Illinois. I worked
for a farmer, who had forty-five May
pigs. One of my duties was to take
care of them. Pigs with plenty of old
corn, the milk from twenty cows', I
made them a beautiful lot. About the
first of October he began to haul
pumpkins from the corn field and
threw them on the ground. These pigs
had access to the pumpkin seed scat
tered on the ground. In three weeks
from that time we hauled off and
buried forty-one pigs. Four runts I
penned up that got 110 seed, did well
and grew right along. It was the oil
in the seed that killed them. Since I
have been in this home, three years
about the first of October, the so
called cholera broke out. It all comes
from feeding pumpkin seed or green
corn, which is nearly as bad. I talked
with several farmers. While some said
they had not fed any pumpkin seed
they had hauled green corn from tho
field and fed to their hogs. Moral, never
feed hogs pumpkins or green corn In
the fall of the year.
When I was farming I fed nothing
but dry corn and plenty of clear water.
1 did not feed corn on Sunday, but
nlfted coal ashes or wood ashes, are bet
ter and mix threshed oats, about three
to 1, but don't fail to have plenty of
water at all times, and you will prob
ably never hear of the so-called cholcra
breaking out every fall.

as already making favorable prog

foreigners with "Guid marnln'," with

Is added that some Chinese compra

who declared that the best fighters in

Fifty Natives in Caravan.
President Roosevelt has received an
invitation from the nephew of the late
Senator James McMillan o* Detroit,
who owns 50,000 acres of forest, moun
tain, and jungle in the Nairobi district
of Uganda, to shoot over his estates
and use the comfortable shooting boxes
that, have been erected 111 various sec
tions where big game is J.o be found.
The president is -scheduled to arrive
at Entebbe early in December, where
his native porters, hunters and guide-i
will be in waiting to conduct him
thru central Africa, exploring spmc
of the tributaries of the Nile and
eventually landing him at Gondolcoro,
the frontier post of the Sou Ian, some
time toward the end of April, 1910
The number of natives to fee employed
on that part of the journey is not yet
settled, but it is estimated as some
where around fifty. Each man will
carry an average load of fifty pounds
on his head.
To Shun Beaten Paths.
It is stated Mr. Roosevel: will not
follow the beaten paths of travelers and
hunters in the East African protec
torate or any part of his journey in
Africa, but will strike out on new lines
for himself.
From the British government the
president lias received a permit to kill
as much game as he likes, but it is un
derstood lie will go to Africa more in
the Intel eat of science than ::o kill ani
mals for the mere sport of it. It is
probable lie will confine himself to one
specimen of each kind of large and
small game, including-lions, elephants,
rhinoceroses and crocodiles. Lions, it is
said, are the most difficult to get at in
Africa becau.se they have become wary
of the white man and his deadly gun.
The king of tho forest can be heard
roaring around the camps all night, but
he takes to cover and disappears before
the sun rises.
London. Nov. 4.—The colonial office,
it wa.s learned yesterday, recently of
fered President Roosevelt tie freedom
of the government shooting preserves in
Africa. Mr. Roosevelt replied that lie
wished to be treated only as a private
citizen and that he dW not desire spe

(Judge.)
A. young Scotch farmer, who could
not. read, came into a. small countrv
clly directly after an "ant.i-spltling
ordinance had come Into effect, and, as
fate would have ItJ was walking di
rectly toward the single policeman I
which the place boasted when tho peri- I
od of release for a copious amount of I
tobacco juice became due. The profuse I
squirt lighted with a splash directly in
the middle of the sidewalk, and the I
Scot was subsequently take nin cha'-tfe
l..r the copper and hustled before the
police magistrate.
When told the nature of his offense
he warmly protested ignorance of the
law. but was Informed that this did
not shield him. At Ihe magistrate's ad
vice he pleaded guilty and was fined
$5 mill costs. This totalled $7.50.
With painful dignity the young kittle
drew forth a. wallet and extracted
therefrom a $10 bill, which he placed
upiln the desk and turned to leave the
place. ,,
"Wait a moment, my friend," called
the officer. "Hero is your change."
"Nae. mon. I winna tak' it," coolly
replied the .Scotchman'. "1 inae wiss to

Cyclone Bill Aroused.
(Cleveland Leader)
In the course, of his career, Stewart
Edward White has done a lot. of trav
eling, but just now he Is inclined to
avoid Arizona. There Is the reason.
Once he wrote a story afbout an Ari
zona terror named "Cyclone Bill,"
name somewhat familiar to readers of
the best shooting border fiction. In the
story White spoke of Bill's accomplish
ments, and among them his "shooting
up" a piano at a dance. He also de
scribed Bill as lame from a shot in tho
foot while being trailed for stealing a
horse.
One day not long ago White received
a letter from Arizona from a man who
signed himself "The Real Cyclone
Bill." lie .-aid:
"You are wrong about the cause o?
my lameness. I got hurt by fall'ng
off a horse, v« le I was ink. B«t

THE REMEDY
FOB SOBES^ULCERS
The combination of healthful vegetable ingredients of which S. 8. 8. ia t
composed, makes it an especially desirable and effective remedy in the treat-!
ment ol sores and ulcers of every kind. Since an impure condition of the
blood is responsible for the trouble, a medicine tliat can purify the blood ia**
the only liope of a successful cure and it should be a medicine that not only
cleanses the circulation, but one that at the same time restores the blood to
its normal, rich, nutritive condition. 8. S. S. is just such a remedy. It is
made entirely of healing, cleansing vegetable properties, extracted from na
ture's roots, herbs and barks of the forest and fields. It has long been
recognized as the greates': of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities
nccessary to remove every mpurity in the blood. When S. S. S. has purified
the circulation, and strengthened and enriched it, sores and ulcers heal read
ily and surely, because they are no longer fed and kept open by a continual
discharge into them of irritating disease-laden matter from the blood. S. S. S
brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich
nourisliing blood and makes a permanent and lasting cure. Book on Sores
and Ulcers and any medical advice mailed free to all who write.
