UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY STOCK FOODS Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices Charged Are Unwarranted-Makes His Own Food With Better Results "That he is all through paying fancy prices for stock foods and hog remedies and that he is raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market" was the statement made recently by E. H. Beckstead, Well known hog raiser and authority on live stock. Mr. Beckstead's, hogs are the envy of his neighbors, and have "topped the market" for several years in Iowa. He states that for years he bought high priced hog foos and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the secret of his wonderful success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrate, minerals and costs only a couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hundred pouns. All hogs, and especially brood sow require minerals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of condition, and are essential to the hogs growth and a well balanced ration. This inexpensive mixture placed in a sheltered box where the hogs can get it when they need it will produce for better results than any high priced so called stock foods. Send two dollars to the Mineraline Chemical Co., 1638 North Wells St Chicago, Ill. and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraline to make a full hundred pound- Pueblo, Colo.

There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhral Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the m cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a church or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow orphan and the poor. How dwelth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the wo hy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches fees they are exempt from this responsible duty if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistake as Jesus has said "The poor you have always as much as to say, You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. If some of the so-called church members, and would be Christians would drink less "White Mule" Wine of Pep in and the many kindred home made brews, and help the poor among them there would be a great deal of happiness, in the world and the church. We wish to thank Bro. J. J. Taylor, of Sparta, our agent and collector for the money sent in. He made a good showing and his work was appreciated. Try to do that well every month.

Modern Lover Practical, "Harry," exclaimed the blushing maid, "this declaration of love is so sudden-that I hardly know what to say. I was unprepared for it. It nerves me." "I was afraid, it might," said the young chemist, rising with alacrity from his knees, and I brought with me a bottle of my unrivaled nerve tonic. This preparation, my darling, he added, soothing, as he took the bottle from his pocket, quickly extracted the cork and poured a quantity of the medicine into a spoon he had also brought with him, "will allay any undue excitement, quiet the nerves, aid digestion and restore lost appetite. I sell it at 50 cents a bottle. This is a dose for an adult. Take it, dearest." "Floating Fair" From Holland. A company has been organized at The Hague for the purpose of sending a "floating fair" as it is called, but practically a ship loaded with sample products and commercial agents to sell them, to various parts of the world, particularly the United States. The concern is organized somewhat on a co-operative basis and proposes to send the Messageries Maritime vessel, the Macedonia, of 6,100 tons burden, to the United States and Central and South America for the purpose of introducing Netherlands products and enabling Netherlands commercial houses to establish import and export connections in the countries visited.—Scientific American. Ice to Hold Stored Water. Because the water supply of the small city of Ashland, Ore., is becoming inadequate in the summer, and increasing the storage facilities would cost $100,000, the local engineers are trying an experiment as ingenious as it is simple. High up the side of Mount Ashland, at the headwaters of the supply, a system of piping and sprays is being installed, through which the surplus water of the winter will be directed and allowed to freeze. The damming action of the ice walls thus formed, and the gradual thawing of the ice itself, are expected to provide enough water for all the needs of summer. Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The world's largest stock of pear seedlings of a wild, bright-resisting variety found in Manchuria, is located on the Loma Rien ranch near Grass Valley, Cal. The young trees are from seeds brought directly from China and number about 100,000. Three pomological experts from the United States Department of Agriculture, Professors Allison, Wright and Kingsman, recently inspected the stock and approved the experimental work. The original trees, known as the Pyrus ussuriensis, are found growing in the ancient burrowing ground of the kings of the Manchurian dynasty, and it is only since the overthrow of the dynasty that the seeds became available. The truct is said to be vast and to be grown to trees of immense size. By grafting the commercial varieties of pears upon this stock good results are expected to be obtained. Pyrenees Put to Work. Efforts to harness the water power going to waste in the Pyrenees and transform it into electricity are being intensified. Engineers have surveyed entire mountain ranges and have succeeded already in controlling many torrents and making them furnish power. Altogether 200,000 horsepower now is furnished and capital amounting to 300,000,000 pesetas have been invested. Every day sees additions to the amount of power available, and engineers employed in the work estimate that in a few years Calatonia will be able to do without coal. A Change of Calling. "You are going to have some sad disillusionments," said the mysterious Egyptian. "When this capital company came through here last year you were selling 'hot degs' and pink lemonade."—Birradingham Age Herald. "When we go to investigate a factory," he said, "and wish to find the swiftest worker, we naturally ask to see the men or girls who have the fattest pay envelopes. "But when we want to see the man who accomplishes a task with the least amount of lost motion, we hunt out the fastest man in the factory. By instinct, he learns to do things without loss of motion, otherwise he could not hold his Job." "We study that men's movements and take motion pictures of him in action. Then we show these pictures to the rapid, energetic worker, and by studying them he learns, shorter methods, and becomes much more efficient at his work—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
