A DOCTOR'S SLEEP Found He Had to Leave Off Coffee. Many persons do not realize that a bad stomach will cause insomnia. Coffee and tea drinking being such an ancient and respectable form of habit, few realize that the drug?caffeine?contained in coffee and tea, 1b one of the principal causes of dyspepsia and nervous troubles.

Physicians know this to be true, as one from Ga. writes: "I have cured myself of a longstanding case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving ofT coffee and using Postum," says the doctor. "I also enjoy refreshing sleep, to which I've been an utter stranger for 20 years.

The up-rights and cross-pieces of this feed rack are made of one by four material and Inch boards are used In making the frame and slats. The rack Is 13'/i high and cannot be tipped over easily. Many farmers prefer to have their lambB come In April or even as late as May because the weather Is more favorable then, but the man who Is , properly equipped to take care of bis I I I I 1 I I I 'n I IijflJ Lkfj-M, 141 Sheep Feeding Rack. lambs In March will reap the benefit of higher prices then than can be obtained later. It Is all right to feed roughage to sheep on the ground but as a rack can be so easily and cheaply constructed It Is much better to feed from them. My feed troughs are made of three boards eight feet long. The bottom one Is ten inches wide and the sides six inches, I scatter the oats thinly In ttiese trougns ana ine sneep cannoi get a large mouthful. Thus better mastication of the grain Is secured than If the sheep were permitted to take large mouthfuls. I have fed threshed oats to my sheep for a good many years, and have not experienced anything but the most pleasing results. 1 feed oats until after lambing time, then I add about one ear of com, shelled, to one pint of oats a day for each sheep. Nearly all tho shelter sheep need In the winter time Is to keep ofT rain and snow. I have always allowed them to stay out In the'coldest weather if It was not stormy. However, I never under any circumstances allow them to take rains and Bnows in winter. At this season I give them good clover l^y, and in addition, a little 6ilage or corn fodder about three times a week. I feed twice a day In the Rack Cannot Be Tipped. yard or on the ground if it is frozen, but when the ground is not frozen, I feed a little entire grain, mostly oats, to the breeding ewes. On our own farm this year, we are running thein in the cornfields. At first sight this may seem to be a hazardous proposition to both sheep and grain, but 6uch is not the case. We have considerable corn land so that we are pasturing it only at the rate of one head to the acre. There is very liitle down corn and the sheep go up and down the rows picking the tender shoots of weeds that come up despite the best of cultivation, eating off the lower blades of corn and doing much good to the corn itself, regardless of the benefit to the Bheep. As a preventive to them eating the grain, though they never have acquired the habit, we feed a small amount of oats at the barns every morning and night. Our object in feeding grain is two-fold. To keep them in good flesh and to get them to come to the barns morning and night for the inspection of the ram. An acre of rape too is very good. Sow seven or eight pounds per acre. MULE IS BECOMING POPULAR Animals Are Used More on Thoroughfares of Large Cities?Handle Colts Carefully. If you breed the horses to strong, vigorous sires, that is the sort of offspring you may expect; if you breed to the other Bort, you may expect "some other sort" of an offspring. While crushed corn and cob meal 1b an excellent ration for the horses, it is apt to produce gastric colic, unless something else is fed along with it, such as oats, bran or oil meal, to act as a laxative for the cob fiber, which is a trifle difficult to digest. The Missouri mule is becoming a popular draft animal on the thoroughfares of the large cities. He is tough, eats less than a horse of the same weight, and sells for around $300. Handle the colts as much as possible during the winter and as carefully. The most marked feature of the horse's Intelligence is its memory. and the handling given the colt in early life will always be remembered, and If it has been of the right sort will aid in the "breaking." REAR CALVES ON SKIMMILK Production of Cheap Feeders by Pall Method Has Become Decidedly Important Question. There has grown up a necessity for the application of economic methods In beef production. Though feeders may be produced from cows with calves at the side on large areas of cheap grazing land. It Is doubtful whether this method can be successfully employed on the average farm operated under an Intensive system. In this case more revenue must be secured from a cow during the year than that produced In the feeder steer or heifer receiving the entire product of the mother rearing It. It Is true that pedigreed animals, especially of the beef classes reared for sale, for breeding or for show purposes, can be profitably Buckled by their dams because of the higher price they bring. The rearing of cheap feeders by the pall method has become an Important question with the beef producers. Dairymen, of necessity, have long practiced rearing calves on Bklmmllk annnlomanfart hv irrnln h*v Rl'fltfP. OU^^i?tUWUkV\( J Q> U>>(, ? Q etc., and some have even dispensed with skimmllk feeding In quite a large measure. As a general thing the pall-fed calf suffers from neglect and want of sufficient feed of the proper character, but there Is no secret to success In rearing calves on sklmmllk and supplementary feed when It is combined with judicious management METHOD OF FEEDING SWINE Swill Barrel Set on Small Platform Immediately Above Trough Proves Quite Convenient. A very handy swill barrel for feeding a lot of hogs when they come crowding around the trough is made on fnllrm-B- Thp hnrrpl A In Rpt on ft email platform immediately above a trough next to the hydrant D, which has a goose neck so that water can be drawn into the barrel directly from Handy Swill Barrel. the hydrant. In the center of the bottom of the barrel is bored a two-inch auger hole which is kept closed by means of a plug, C, the handle of which is made of an old broom handle and long enough to reach to the top of the barrel. Swill is made of ground feed and when it is desirable to feed the hogs all the operator has to do is to stir the swill and pull the plug, and the swill runs out into the trough without any trouble, say the Iowa Homestead. When enough has run out the plug may be returned to its place and in his way there is no spilling or handling of swill. The 'rough may be of any convenient length. *Use for Mares. A Missouri farmer recently sold a two-year and a three-year-old mule Tor >45. i neir aain was a large oui rather smooth boned mare nine years old, who had been Incapacitated for hard work by an accident in a barbed wire fence. She will probably continue to be a good breeder for several years. Some farmers may see a way to a good profit In this story. I LIVE STOC.K) The rooting hog needs something besides rings. Cholera usually afreets the younger pigs and hogs first. It pays to breed horses only when a good sire is UBed. The demand for high class mutton is rapidly increasing. Keep no useless stock through tho winter to eat up the profits. Early maturity is an important quality to consider in selecting sheep. If a hog trough is always full of feed, it becomes uninviting to the most greedy. A shed of crotches and poles, covered with straw, is cheap, warm J V....|nA?.n 1I1.A UI1U UUOIIirss-linc, Foul odors in the sheep barn will bring pneumonia. Keep your mind on having them well ventilated. Silage, in light quantities, is often beneficial to a brood mare, as it adds a bit of succulence to the ration. Expensive buildings are not necessary for the housing of the flock but they must be protected from the wind, rain and snow. Mules are ready for work younger than horfes. They are able to endure as much at two years as a colt will at three or four. Angora goats cannot thrive if ".hey are crowded into small space, henco they should not be kept In largo flocks on the smaller farms. In purchasing pure bred stock, beware of unscrupulous live stock breeders who try to palm off "tail enders" on the Inexperienced. Don't select a heavy, lazy sow for a breeder. She should be mild in disposition. but possessed of sufficient energy to take exercise. The practical remedy for little pigs that are liable to be troubled with thumps is to provide them plenty of exercise and large range. TO TUNNEL UNDER CHANNEL Long-Delayed France-English Project Is Once More Being Put Forward. A tunnel between England and France beneath the English channel was first proposed at the beginning of the nineteenth century by Mathieu, a French mining engineer. Bays the Argonaut. Fifty years later the scheme was financed, but It was not until 1867 that it seemed that the project would be actually attempted. At that time there were a dozen or more plans for rail communication between the two countries. The accepted scheme was that of a tunnel bored beneath the bed of the channel. The estimated cost of the undertaking was about $50,000,000. Preliminary boring had been made, when the work was interrupted by the FrancoPrussian war. In 1874 the French and English governments resumed negotiations concerning the tunnel, leaving the matter In the hands of a Joint commission. Failure on the part of the English company holding the contract for the work to receive sufficient funds resulted In the fall- i nre of the enterprise In 1880. Now the project Is receiving some attention. a better feeling having been established between the people of the two countrls. THE BEST TREATMENT FOR ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF AND FALLING HAIR To allay Itching and irritation of the scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling hair, remove crusts, scales and dandruff, and promote the growth and beauty of the hair, the following special treatment is most effective, agreeable and economical. On retiring, comb the hair out straight all around, then begin at the side and make a parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ointment Into the. parting with a bit of soft flannel held over the end of the 1 finger. Anoint additional partings about half an inch apart until the j whole scalp has been treated, the pur- ' pose being to get the Cuticura Ointment on the scalp skin rather than on the hair. It is well to place a light covering over the hair to protect the pillow from possible stain. The next morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap and hot water. Shampoos alone may be used as often as agreeable, but once or twice a month Is generally sufficient for this special treatment for women's hair. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.
