Farm Notes IreventJBIncUlejrty Vaccination. In Epito of tho fact that for moro than four years tho experiment station at Stillwater has, without charge, supplied vaccino for tho prevention of blackleg in cattle to all citizens of Oklahoma who requested it, losses from this prevent! ble disease are frequent. The operation of vaccination is simple and tho results are satisfactory, losses in most cases being stopped at once. Tho station has issued a bulletin describing blackleg and tho easy way in which it may be prevented, and Eeeks the co-operation of all in stamping out this disease. All that citizens of Oklahoma have to do to procure as much vaccine as they wish is to write to the experiment station at Stillwater, stating how many cattle are to be vaccinated and that the one mak ing the request is the owner of the cat tie. All cattle under 2 years of age should be vaccinated once in every six months, and all cattle dead from black leg should be burned or buried at once without skinning. To rrecnt Scours. Nothing is better for preventing scours in pigs than some crushed oat and barley slop run through a screen to remove most of the hulls, which should be placed in a low trough in a corner of the pen. The young pigs go for this greedily. At two months old they are ready to wean, when they should bo put in two large pens, culling out the weak er ones and putting them in pens made vacant by grouping three agreeable sows. Much more skill is required to raise young pigs in winter than in sum mer. After taking them away from their dams, feed warm new milk for the first meal, and after that warm skim milk, with a good sprinkling of shorts in it, increasing the quantity each day until about the consistency of thin por ridge. A good way is to mix a quart of oil meal with each barrel of feed, and have a box in the corner of each pen containing wood ashescharcoal and a little salt and sulphur. Field and Farm. Replenishing Fertility. A crop of twenty-five bushels of wheat per acre removes from the soil 10 pounds of nitrogen, 23 pounds of potash and 10 pounds of phosphoric acid in the straw In the grain there is removed 27 pounds of nitrogen. S pounds of potash and 12 pounds of phosphoric acid. This is equal to the ingredients of a fertilizer containing about 205 pounds nitrate of soda, 65 pounds muriate of potash and 125 pounds phosphate rock. Unless the soil is well supplied every year with the substances removed therefrom it must eventually deteriorate. Rotation of crops, using clover in the list, will pre vent loss of nitrogen, but if farmers sell produce they muEt necessarily bring something back on the farm to take the place of the mineral matter removed. Dryinsr Cows Before Calvtntr. We like to give a cow about four weeks' rest between calves; are unable to do so in a good many cases, as it is almost impossible to get them dry, but when possible like every cow to have at least four weeks rest, as she needs this to maintain her vitality and produce a strong calf. If a cow is milked inces santly from year to year, yon will get one of three things and perhaps all of them: a broken-down cow, a reduced. supply of milk or a weak calf. Some will maintain that a good cow, fed a grain ration, will milk continually year after year and give more milk than an equally good one that has an annual rest ; but I am satisfied that a cow to be a profitable" worker for a long term of years and produce calves as good or bet ter than their dams, must have an an nual rest. We hear occasionally that a cow is a machine; is one fitting if you compare her with a hard-sense she is, out me comparison is more like an overworked business business man: how well they enjoy their vacation and with increased eager ness take up their duties and are able to accomplish more, than the man who plods along year after year without a rest! Of course there are exceptions to- all rules, but I am firmly convinced that the breeder who adheres to the plan of milking continually will decrease the vitality of his herd, consequently their productive powers. A good cow will milk continually if fed a grain ration, but it is not best for her to do so, unless milk is the only consideration. A milkman who buys his cows and sells as soon as their milk ing period 4s over, may find continuous milking best, but the dairyman or breeder who wishes to build up the pro ducing powers of his herd, will do bet ter to give each cow an annual rest. She will produce as much milk, do it more economically, will keep in better health, and will be more likely to produce calves that will develop into cows better than their dams. How many of the really great cows , that have been milked, incessantly for years, have reproduced themselves? Wo have made as many large yearly records as most herds, and the longer we Teed cows the more we believe they need an annual rest. The cow that will give large returns for small expenditure of feed is the cow to breed and feed for. J. E. Dodge, in Jersey Bulletin. Points In Batter Slaking-. Butter making has undergone many changes of late years in the line of wash ing, salting and working. Formerly it was churned until it was one solid maEb; it was washed once, salted and worked. It was thought best to churn at a tem perature of about 02 degrees, but grad ually tho temperature has been lowered until now it is not unusual to churn as low as 48 degrees. A low temperature has many advantages. The loss in but ier fat will be less, the butter will need less washing and have better body than when churned at a higher temperature With proper precaution, the loss of but ter fat in churning need not be more than about one-hundredth of 1 per cent. The loss depends largely upon the tem perature and tho evenness of ripening. If the cream has been gathered for sev eral daye, unless the oldest has been held at a low temperature to prevent any partial ripening, or it has been ffil thoroughly stirred each time new cream was added, it will not bo evenly ripened and the loss will bo unduly large Loss time will be required to churn at a high temperature, but it will bo at tho ex pense of butter fat. Wlim to no to rrcvent macules'. Tho calves that havo not yet shown any syniptons of the disease should bo removed at-once from tho infected pas ture and put on short feed for a week or more. Tho old-time practice of giving each calf a dose of glaubers or epsom salts and a little saltpeter is also to bo recommended. Full reliance, however, should not be put upon these measures ; the calves should be vaccinated as soon as possible. Tho vaccino matter is pre pared from the products of the diseased muscular tissue, and when properly made and applied causes no appreciable reaction in tho vaccinated calf, yet gives to the animal a marked degree of im munity. The vaccine can bo secured from the United States bureau of animal industry, through tho Missouri state university at Columbia. It is supplied free, in exchange for data to lo returned upon printed blanks. Directions for iuo accompany each lot of vaccine. Black leg vaccine may also be had from sev eral commercial producers whoso ad vertisements are to bo found iu the farm and stock papers. In a week or ton days after vaccina tion tho calves may Ihs safely returned to the infected pasture. When the calves a few weeks old are vaccinated, it is well to revftccinmte them" six or eight months later. Sheep Breeder Notes When selecting from a Mock of owes it is not always wise to choose tho bii, fat ones, as such are often those which are poor breeders or have never raised a lamb. Anyone who will give faithful busi ness attention to hi flock and do unto his customers as lie would "wish to be done unto" can make money out of sheep these prosperous times. The profits lb be derived from a flock depends considerably upon its manage ment. A go:! caretaker will make-considerable money out of the sanio Hock that will lose money to tho ioor man ager. Pure-bred lambs should have a small grain ration even when on extra good pasture. The outlay incurred is more than repaid by superior growth, to say nothing of the relief such feeding brings to the ewe Sheep intended for show, if washed at all, should be washed well in advance of the show, so as to allow time for the proper flow of yolk and the fleece to as sume its normal condition. The aim of some shepherds should be to get all the growth possible out of his pure-bred lambs whilo they are under a year o'd. After this age they seem pret ty well able to look out for themselves The hindquarters of show ewes are sometimes scalded by becoming saturat ed with their own urine, and unless no ticed and attended to in time, becomes so sore that the wool falls off. Vasaline is both a preventive and remedy for such tronble. The English Shropshire Sheep Breed ers' Association will give 10 to be awarded to the exhibitor who wins the largest amount of money to the Shrop shire sheep classes at the Worlds Fair at St Louis with sheep imported from Great Britain during 1904. In selecting your lambs for show re member it's not the biggest lamb that wins, but the biggest good lamb. It is always well to select several more than the number which you intended show ing so as to be perpared for accidents, such as sickness and death. In England, on October 4, 1891, a bunch of Cotswolds were weighed and turned on a field of rape. On tho 11th of November, when they were reweighed they showed a gain of 88 pounds. If ac cording to this rape is not an ideal sheep food we would like to know what is. Theearlier the lambs are weaned, pro vided their systems are capable of diges ting vegetable foods the more rapid is their progress. To allow the lamb to harrass the ewe when it is well able to take care of itself is wrong. As soon as the pastures get hard and dry the Iambs should be put on rape or second growth clover. The ewes will keep in good enough condition on less luxuriant pasturage. The value of a rape field cannotbe over estimated. For sheep in particular and farm stock generally it is par excellence the ration Summer aud Fall. Where the rapo field is at hand there is little fear of the flock losing in condition even in times of severe drougth . Sheep on In marriage only when there is equality of health as well as affection. Affection may be the basis of unity In marriage, bnt the superstructure depends largely on the womanly health. When the rpfc Is tormented with backache, distressed by headac&e, and racked by nervous ness, she has no ambition for exercise or pleasure Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It cures headache, hack, ache, and other womanly ills by curing the diseases of the womanly organism which cause them. It establishes regu larity, dries weakening drains, heals in flammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. Weak and sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

J aju i a a iimpmji rJzTll TW IPlij Osso Miserable Mothers. CHILDREN ROBBED OF THEIR BIRTHRIGHT. The most serious thing in life is ma ternity. The child who inherits weak ness is handicapped for life in the strug gle for existence. The weak and sickly mother surely devotes her offspring to misery and misfortune. The romantic idea of marriage is based on love and love alone. The scientific idea of mnrringe demands sound health as a basis of mat rimony. The utter helplessness of love is written in a thousand experiences of young motherhood. The child, the mother would die for, cries iu her arms, and she is too weak and worn to comfort it. She can do naught but weep in sympathy. As surely as the most serious thing in life is maternity so the most necessary thing for the prospective mother is pre paration. For preparation is possible. There is, in general, no need for the weakness and weariness so often associ ted with maternity. There is no need for the nervous anxiety, the prolonged birth pangs, and after enervation, so commonly experienced by mothers. In this day, even women understand the training necessary for athletic ex ercise. Thej- know that to successfully sustain the strain of outdoor sports they must prepare themselves by training. And yet the average woman will face the great strain of maternity without the slightest preparation for the extraordin ary event Defore her. Nerves, muscles are all to be submitted to an extraordinary strain and yet there is no.attempt to fit them for the ordeal. PROPER PREPARATION. The fact needs to be impressed on every woman that she can prepare for the strain of motherhood as she can pre pare for any other extraordinary demand to be made upon the vital forces. The nature of this preparation is well set forth in the following letter : "I take pleasure in informing you of the birth of a boy in perfect health, on May iSth, 1S09," writes Mrs. L. E. Corti, of waltonvilfe. Pa., Box 25. "I cannot find words sufficiently strong to express to you my thanks, for the baby's coming was almost without pain, and when my husband arrived with the doctor the child was already bom. The neighbors who were with me, and my husband and the doctor could not belie-e their eyes.

In tho United States there has crown up an institute which was called the "400." Rapidly thi? curions system is being adopted in London, and unless the unforseen occurs the "society" there will soon be composed almost entirely of rich and reckless persons, who through the press, have attained social promin ence. Many of the finest houses in the town and country have come into their possession and these thoy have turni-died with the utmost luxury. They havo ac quired some of the most valuable art treasures. The most precious jewels, they wear the most extravagant cos tumes, thoy occupy the best boxes at the opera and at the theater, they drive a the most striking carriages and they give the most exclusive ontertainmonte. Cleveland Points Backward. Grover Cleveland has declared his be lief that there is an opportunity for Democratic success in the coming Presi dential election. But the former President names con ditions tinder which that opportunity must bo embraced which will not appeal to all tho Democrats in the land. He siiys in the first place that the fighting forces of tho Democracy must not be summoned to a third defeat in a 6trango cause. They must .Iks given the truo rallying cry. Of course ho means that Bryanism, in all ite phases, must be abandoned. ' Ob solete issues and questions no longer challenging popular interest," ho says, "should be manfully abandoned." 'I hat of course, applies to the issues raided by Mr. Bryan, but in tho next breath Mr. Cleveland urges the raising of tho iesue or Tariff reform, and an appeal to the people of economy in the expenditure of public money, as well as an arraign ment of tho Republicans for having made broken promises. Ho would alBo attack the Republican policy with respect to tho Philippines. But is not Mr. Cleveland toying with obsolete issues himself? Did not tho American people put tho seal of their disapproval upon Tariff reform in 181)0? Did thoy not express their approval of tho Philippine policy in 1900? Is it not poesiblo that Mr. Cleveland is as much of a back number as Mr. Bryan is in his way? Of course this is a question for Demo crats to decide', and thoy will have to meet it. Cleveland "Leader." A Republican Platform. Tho address of United Suites Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island at Providenco, in that btnto, might well bo adopted as having tho right matter for the national platform of the Republican party. Sen ator Aldrich called the attention of his hearers, lirst, lo lw brilliant record of the Republitau party in the past, and living child. I tell everybody this happy event wis due to the help of God and of your medicines. I shall never be without your medicines henceforth and shall never fail in recommending your F vorite Prescription.' I have used the medicines which you prescribed with the best results. "Our hearts are full of gratitude to you for your medicines, which have given us the happiness of having a living child of our own, after so much suffering and disappointment. "I recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all young women who are in the same condition that I was in as one of the best remedies in existence. I have used eigth lwttles and find my self in perfect health. Accept my lest wishes for your welfare to the end of your days." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been the means of preparing thousands of women for hnppy motherhood. It prevents or cures nausea, tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and in duces refreshing sleep. It imparts great vitality and muscular vigor so that the baby's advent is practically painless. It gives the mother strength to give her child, and is an un rivaled tonic for nursing mothers. WOMEN ARK SURPRISED at the prompt and perm, nent benefit derived from the use of "Favorite Pre scription." Its effects are not transient and tempor ary, but they conduce to a condition of womanly well being, which seems often times like a renewal of youth, so markel are iti effects and so lasting thf vigor which it imparts. Mrs. Orrin Stiles, ol Downing, Dunn Co., Wis., writes: "I have Iwen in tending to write to yot ever since my baby wai born in regard to whatyoui ' Favorite Prescription ' hai done for nie. I canned praise it enough, for I hav not been as well for fiv years as I now am. It July last I had a baby lx5', weight 11 pounds, and J was only sick a short time, and since I got up bve not had one sick day. I linvt not hail any uterine trouble since I rot up. I was not only surprised myself but all my friends here are surprised to see me so'wcll." Dr. Mercc's Favorite Prescription make weak women strong and kick women well. It corrects irregularity, dries diMgTeeable drains, heals inflammation and ulceration anil cures female weakness. Thousands of women have been sur prised at the cures effected by the patient and pcrsisfeut use of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. This medicine hat cured diseases which have failed to yield to any other remedy. When doctib have declared a cure was hopeless, :SI when other medicines bad been trit-(t vain," Favorite Prescription r has brought about a lasting cure.

Senator Aldrich, as can every Re publican in the United States, testified to the wonderfully effective diplomacy of tho national administration tinder the premiership of Senator Hay; to the value of the Protective Tariff; to the necessity for the maintenance of the gold standard of currency ; to the develop ment of trade relations with peoples whose products are non-conietitive; to the rehabitation of American shipping by appropriate laws; to the approaching construction of the Panama Canul ; to the need for upliol.ling aud strengthen ing the American navy, and to the care of the-new oeeeaionB in such a way as to maintain the reputation of the United States and to secure the prosperity and happiness of the dejndncies.

Tho Czar is furious at the discovery of gross corruption in tho Russian navy yards, whore tho now battle ships and cruisers intended to strengthen tho far Eastern squadron are being built. The discovery was made as a result of the sinking of a gunlwat which had recently been finished, and which went to tho bottom as a result of firing a salute with 0110 of its heavy guns. Tho discharge of tho gun was so shat tering that the pl.Ues were loocened and the lxiat went down iu a few minutes. A Swedish syndicate t-eciired tho con tract for raining her, but when the men got to work they found wood and putty whero thero should have been steel. The ship, iu fact, went to pieces when the attempt was made to raiso her. Tho story reached the ears of the czar, who ordered a thorough inspection of all government arsenals, docks and navv yards. This inflection brought out that tlio huge naval ptores in St. Petersburg which were supposed to be filled with enormous quantities of provisions and naval stores of every kind were nlinr.pt empty. On the following night all the other buildings, which had not been in spected,, burst into flames in ten differ ent places, and in tho morning there was nothing left bat the walls. Iti Ixtlicvcd incendiarism wan resorted to to bide similar fr.itnlg. It has bevn found that the worku.g men in the navy yard h.ne l ecu puttii g only 11 small percentage of the necessarj riveth in tho plates of the battle i-hiph. plugging up all the rest of the hole.", with wooden plugs and selling the riveth 10 outMiIu dealers. Tim rzar is now said to have ordered a disclmrg.- of nil men in charge of the construction of these ships, anil tin work will be carried 011 under tho direc tion of naval engineers iiiijiorted from Denmark. The Missouri "Bird of Paradise." Tho more Missouri tees of the auto mobile the better it likoH the mule, says The Youth's ConqxinHin. Thi? at least is the verdict of IWm inter Wilson of Macon, who-c advice about hoiseless carriages on ruritl delivery routes ha.l been solicited by an Illinois man. lhe reply was, "Slick to the mule." The Missouri liird of Paradi-, he wrote, will go where no auto would dare to tread. He will haul you over tooec fifty-three clay hills on time or kick holes through them ami go under. Nothing will discourage htm. You never have lo stop to fix him. You don't have to take a monkey wrench and a kit of burglar' tools along. A govd tout club L the only instrument he has any reflect for. There's no danger of his blowing up. Difficult roads only inspire him to great er efforts. After colliding with a tree or a brick house the auto is sent to the junk shop, but the mule is only brighter and gayer and stronger after each colli sion. It's the thing he runs against that goes to the scrap pile. A mule eats mote than aii automo bile, but he gives greater results. Strike Caused Immorality.
