A tickling cough from any cause. Is guickly ■topped by Dr. Sboop's Cough Cure. And it la thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesitation even to very young babies. The wholesome green leaves and tender ■terns of a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the tore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant extract, that helps to heal aohing lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the Doctor uses, “The Sabred Herb.” Demand Dr. Sboop’s, Take no'other. A. F. Long.

He is now at Hammond and is reported to be recovering nicely. We are informed that while county surveyor Price was viewing a proposed ditch a few days a£o in Kankakee tp., he was put under a certain amount of political pressure but with all honor to Mrrt he arose and said, “this is a matter of business and not of politics.” Such a county officer we feel like tipping our hat to every time we meet him.

Drake was ai Monon last Saturday looking after his tine hunch of cattle he has on pasture near that town. Mi. Gilmore’s dredge is making excellent progress. It is almost directly south of McCoysburg at this writing. Our first snowfall of the season, Nov. 11, was very light. Report came from Lafayette that an inch of snow had fallen there.

When in McCoysburg call in and see McCoy's new up-to-date weighing system. His grocery department isequiped with the Toledo Computing Scales, and say! they do everything but reach in your pocket for the change. Speaking of the clerk, Miss Leflor—well, it would be a waste of time to look for a more, efficient person. Hereafter our trustee shall see that all holes, ruts and side ditches are properly filled in and smoothed over in front of school houses, as it isn’t expected that schoolmaams shall see a little thing like a road-ditch. Add moreover they are qpt going to be responsible for broken sauce-dishes, lost 1 shopping bags and mashed dinner pails. H. H Stewart, senior member of the firm of Stewart & Sons, js here iooking after the stone road, while the former foreman Fred, is away visiting (?). The finishing material, i. e., the fine stone tor dressing, is being shipped from Kokomo. Probably 150 or 200 yards of dust are yet needed, and then Hanging Grove’s boulevard will be completed (?). Mrs. McCoy, after a sickness of three months, is again able to walk daily to and from the store. Dr. Turfler is waiting on her. Mr. Turfler is one of the swiftest autoists that ever came down the pike. He sits at the steering wheel of bis little Ford, with firm hand and keen eye. On approaching a railroad crossing he just rubs on a little more gas and jumps over. If the lighting place is not the best it sometimes effects the “sparkes neryous system” of the little “bug” wagon, but that offers the Dr. very little difficulty as he is specialized along this line.

The finest Coffee Substitute ever made, has recently been produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis.. You don’t have to boll it twenty or thirty minutes. “Made in a minute” says the doctor. “Health Coffee” is really tbe closest Coffee Imitation ever yet produced. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either. Health Coffee Imitation is made from pure toasted cereals or grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert—were fie to unknowingly drink it for Coffee. A'. F. Long,

HINTS TOR FARMERS

Studying Soil*. it can be laid down as a fact that where we find hardwood trees flourishing the soil Is rich and In such a section the climate is healthy. Such grains as wheat and oats will yield good crops in the land where the Sugar maple, the beech and the white andTilack oaks grow. A wet soil'is indicated where we find willows, poplars, birch, red maple, black ash and elms. By drainage such land is often made available for farm purposes, but it is better for grass than either grain or fruits. We find a strong, rich soil, hard to work, but of great fertility when once brought under cultivation, where the hickories, buckeyes and black walnut grow. The chestnut thrives best in a light, thin soil, a soil adapted to the growth of corn, rye, vegetables and small fruits, but which, unless strongly fertilized, cannot grow, good crops of wheat or oats or the general fruit trees.—Philadelphia Record. ■ M.m ■- . , » Profitable Hog Breeds. Experience will determine each man’s preference. If a hog is wanted that will attain to a great size, is quiet—in fact, rather lazy and sluggish—that will fatten readily at any age and -make good use of the feed given him, the Poland-Chlna or the Chester White will fill the Dili, writes J. A 1 Doble in the National Stockman and Farmer. But the Poland-Chlna is prone to small Utters, jUnd the Chester White is prone to skin diseases In winter unless well housed and clean bedded.

I have raised hundreds by crossing the Chester female to the Poland-Chi-na male, and the combination is very hard to beat. Some strains of the Duroy-Jerseys approached nearer to perfection than any, I have ever tried and some approached too. nearly to the old woods hog. A cross between the Poland-Chlna male and Duroc female is the best all round pork producer 1 have ever tried. N

Fodder For Fowls. Fowls need a great deal of fodder in winter to neutralize the concentrated feed. One hundred hens will eat five pounds of clover leaves dally besides their regular grain ration, and the clover ’is a very nutritious food as well as supplying bulk. Often cut rowen hay will answer fairly well as a substitute, and if neither clover nor rowen is at hand the chaff from the barn floor will supply a great deal of fodder as well as serving as a scratching litter. The Maine station found that for 100 hens five pounds of clover leaves took the place of seventeen pounds of beets, and the hens were kept healthy anS thrifty.

To Cure Lump Jaw. The most successful treatment for lump jaw in cattle Is to cut the lump on the jaw open and apply inside of this lump tincture of lodine daily. All of the little cavities In this lump should be opened freely, so 'that the tincture of lodine will act on every part affected. Internally the animal should be given half a dram of potassium iodide daily, by dissolving this dose in a quart of water and drenching It. Give the potassium. lodide for about a week, then withhold for about a week and continue treatment until cured.—Farm Progress.

Regular Milking Time. A few points as to the care of the dairy cow may be mentioned? First, be regular about milking and feeding Milking an hour later on Sunday morning is a very bad practice. The cow j must be regularly cared for. Always ; be quiet and gentle when handling the stock. Many a cow has been ruiqed ; by being abused while giving milk. Be neat and Insist upon youc raqp being neat in all the work about the bam. .

The SPORTING WORLD

Chioago Vanity Football Captain. Leo De Trey, captain of the Chicago ymlverslty football team, gave early promise In high school play of the ability he now shows on Coach Stagg’s ball banging troupe. De Tray is a cool, heady player, a reliable ground gainer jtnd a master of

gridiron strategy. He is left halfback of the team. He recently scored three touchdowns against the team of the fJnlverslty of Illinois. ✓ Football Hints. The best way to throw a football is to grasp it firmly In the hand with the thumb on the laces and toss it with the point toward tbs person who is to receive it. This will give It the spiral effect which makes it easy to handle. Kicking has been and always will be one of the most important departments of the game. It glees a team great confidence to have a reliable kicker, and a team cannot be considered a first class aggregation without Ten yards is a long distance to be gained in three downs, and when two teams are matched the punt signal invariably will be given on the third down. The kicking game ie an excellent one with a good kicker and a fast pair of ends. Practice will make one an expert kicker. Drop kicking and place kicking also have come to the front, and many a game last year was won by a field goal.

Maine’s Moose Season. \ The open season on moose in Maine began with reports from the woods that moose are more plentiful and scattered over a wider area than for Several years, but with fewer bulls and animals with fine heads. Many of thgse forest monarchs have been seen as far south as Hancock and Washington counties'. To the west and southwest of Mount Katabdln is the popular hunting ground with moose reported as plentiful. During the sommer tourists and guides saw scores of the big animals. Rainy weather has handicapped the deer hunters, rain having fallen almost continuously since the opening of the deer season, and few hunters went early into the woods. Receipts of game at Bangor up to Oct. 15 were 137 deer and three bears, compared with 226 deer and six bears at the same date last year.

• Psnn and Michigan. The University of Pennsylvania is unfortunate In not being able to get any adequate line on Michigan’s football team. The names of the eleven who are playing Tost’s men, Case, Wabash, etc., sound very much bush league, and it is impossible to form any conception of what the eleven may be. But Yost Is confident—a condition that lacked last year. He knows that to Buffer another decisive defeat will be the end of his reputation. Penn may win and probably will, but Michigan will make a do or die effort In the big game.

Unfortunate Horsewoman. It Is unfortunate that Miss Katherine L. Wilks of Galt, Ont., is seemingly unable to experience the pleasure of seeing her horses win. Kentucky Todd appeared drawn and stale and was apparently far from being himself at Lexington. Sadie Mack, 2:06*4, owned by Miss Wilks, was queen of the grand circuit two years ago and was unbeaten when she reached Hartford. The handsome mare fell dead in the home stretch before her owner’s eyes whllg racing for one of the Charter Oak classics for which she was a very pronounced favorite. Baseball Analogy. This year, as Just twenty years ago, the Detroit team captured the baseball championship from Philadelphia and Chicago. That’s as far as analogy went, however, as the present day American league champions could not emulate the feat of their predecessors by capturing the world’s championship. Oh the contrary, they lost It as easily as the old guard won It In their day. Possibly the charm was broken because Detroit’s opponent this time was Chicago instead of St. Louis.
