BETTER THAN CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.
Jetmore, Kan., July 1st.—Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter of Mr. G.
G. Jones, of Burdett, and one of the
most popular ladies in Hodgeman
County, has been a martyr to head
ache for years. It has made her life
a continual misery to her. She suf
fered pains in the small of the back,
and had every symptom of Kidney
and Urinary' Trouble.
To-day she is as well as any lady
in the state.
This remarkable change was due
entirely, to a remedy' recently' intro
duced here. It is called Dodd’s Kid
ney Fills, and many people claim it to
be an infallible cure for Kidney Dis
eases, Rheumatism and Heart
Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd’s Kid
ney Fills, and almost with the. first
dose she grew better. In a week her
headaches and other pains had gone,
and she had left, behind her all her
illness and days of misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what, Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for this lady, is very sure soon to be
universally use-d/ and already the de
jrvnnd for these pills has increased
wonderfully in Pawnee and Hodge
man Counties, where the particulars
of Mrs. Freeman's case and its cure
are known.

GOOD AND BAD MILKERS.
Why Dairymen Should Make Occ*.
atonal Tent* of the Milk from
All Their Com,
At a milking trial held in connection
with one of the recent summer shows
in England the cow which was awarded
the lirst prize produced oyer six gal
lons of milk in the day, and her milk
was so rich in quality that It produced
over four pounds of butter. At the
same show there were on exhibition
other cows of the same breed and
practically the same size and weight
which produced only two to three gal
lons of milk and barely one pound of
butter. It would be a mistake to sup
pose that the feeding of one of the
last-named would cost as much as the
six-gallon cow, because, as a rule, the
better milker a cow is the more food
will she consume. It is only natural
that a cow jdelding six gallons of
milk should require a much more lib
eral food ration than one producing
less than half that quantity. The dif
ference in the cost of feeding the cows
in question would not, however, be
anything like so marked as their rela
tive milk yields would suggest. In
practice it is found that cows pro
ducing only 1*4 gallons to two gallons
—that is, six to eight quarts—per day
cost as much to keep as those yielding
double that quantity. It is only when
calculations of this kind are gone into
that the difference between good and
bad milkers can be property estimated.
At least occasional tests should be
made of the milk which all the cows in
the herd are producing, and a similar
test should be made of the food which
they are consuming, and if it is found,
as it is to be feared will be only too
frequently the case, that the animals
are not giving a sufficient return for
the cost of the food which they are
disposing of, they should be got rid of
at the first opportunity and their
places filled by others capable of giv
ing a better return for the food.—

WATER AFFECTS MILK.
Therefore the Farmer Who Lets His
Cows Drink from it Stagnmit
Pool Commits n Crime.
We hear some things that we find
hard to believe in the way of the treat
ment of dairy cows. One of these
things is that there are here and there
pastures in which the only watering
place is a stagnant pond full of in
sects and slimy grasses. It is a won
der that cows can drink such stuff and
still remain healthy, but it is certain
that they take chances on acquiring
some one of the water-borne diseases
common to stock. No human being
should be a*ked to drink milk made
out of sut'h water, even a/ter it has
been strained through the cow. It is
claimed that other owners arc known
to water their cows out of rain water
barrels. Well, that is only a slight
improvement over the stagnant pond
method. The water in the rain water
barrel soon takes on a smell that is
disagreeable to man and beast. Why
can’t our cows have at least pure
water to drink? Water, pure and
sparkling, enters very largely into the
life of every being. Let us be sure
that the milk we drink is made from
water and food absolutely pure.—

Importing German Potntoex.
It may seem strange that Germany
should be able to establish an export
trade with America in potatoes, yet
such is the case. So far the shipments
made have been small, but the indica
tions are that the volume will increase.
Orders for next season are heavy. The
German potatoes are smaller than
ours. Those exported are known to
the trade as “old potatoes” and are to
be used almost entirely by the large
hotels making potato salad. Amer
icans should supply this demand by
purchasing seed potatoes in Germany
and raising them at home. They could
be sold at a greater profit than is made
on the potatoes now grown, as the
Germans can afford to raise them, pay
freightage and our import duty of 25
( cents a bushel and still find the busi
ness remunerative.—Toronto Mail.

Clarence and Ethiopia are great
churns, notwithstanding the diilerenco
in color. In fact, that there was any
difference in color did not seem to have
occurred to either until the other day.
Ethiopia is a half-orphan, the scarce
ly-to-be-regretted author of his being
having departed, a year ago, after a
“hot time” in this life to the probable
enjoyment of something of.a similar de
scription elsewhere.
“Oh, Ethy,” said Clarence, patting
Ethy's shining cheek as they shared a
tight-fitting seat in the small wheelbar
row, “you’re black. What makes you so
black, Ethy?”
“Dunno,” responded Ethy, slowly, al
lowing his mind to stray over a variety
of possible solutions, “’less it’s ’cause

’Ttviib Her Firs* Love.
On a corner stood a little barefoot girl in
her rags. Her soiled, pudgy little hands
hugged another bundle of rags caressingly
to her stained, dimpled cheek, while she
enjoyed all the joys of young motherhood.
The bundle was her “baby.” Tied with a
string near one end, the rags formed into a
head. Another string about the middle pro
duced the effect of a waist line. A young
man saw the happy little mother. “What’s
that?” he asked, resting a hand on the un
kempt hair of the child.
“My dolly,” she said, hugging the rags
closer.
“Your dolly, eh? What a pretty dolly.
And what do you call your baby?”
“I tails it—I tails it—I tails it Bum
Annie.”—N. Y. Times.
Misapplied Industry.
“Have I not been an earnest and consci
entious worker?” asked the young man
who was about to be “let out.”
“Possibly, possibly,” replied the prac
tical politician. “Indeed. I may say that I
have no fault to find with vour industry,
except that it is misapplied.”
“In what way?”
“It has been devoted to the interests of
the taxpayers instead of us. You are a
good man in some ways, but you seem to
lack judgment.”—Chicago Post.
