The old fashioned way of dosing a weak stomach, or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys is all wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error. This is why his prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—is directed entirely to the cause of these ailments, the weak inside or controlling nerves. It isn’t so difficult, says Dr. Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys, if one goes at *t correctly. Each inside organ has its controlling or inside nerve. When these nerves fail, then those organs must surely falter. These vital truths are leading druggists everywhere to dispense, and recommend Dr, Shoop’s Restorative. Test it a few days, and see! Improvement will promptly and surely follow. Sold by all dealers.

HE KNOWS ’EM ALL. There are some people who just Von’t like the local editor, no matter what his religion, politics or standing may be. They probably have made up their minds that they are not going to like him and that settles it. Try as hard as we may, we cannot overcome these preconceived notions of some people. But we know a few things. We know who likes us and who doft’t; we know who appreciates the work we are trying to do and who don’t; we know who encourages and helps us and who backbites and throws stumbling blocks in our way; we know who charitably overlooks our shortcomings and who bitterly critises us for them—-In fact we know lots of things that we have never told and perhaps neever will, and we know some people who ought to be mighty glad of it.—Attica Ledger.

or put out of a game by an umpire. He formerly enjoyed the nickname of “Pinch” for his aptitude in hitting the ball at the critical period. McGuire holds the world’s record for continuous catching, having participated in consecutive games. Detroit Driving Club’s Chart Revised. - The directors of the Detroit Driving club have reconsidered their decision to change the Chamber of Commerce $5,000 pacing stake from the 2:13 class to the 2:15 class, and this fixture of the grand circuit meeting will remain In the class. The value of the Wolverene handicap, a free for all pace, which takes the place of the 2:07 pacing stake, is to be $3,000. The Merchants and Manufacturers’ stake of SIO,OOO remains for the 2:24 trotters, and there Is a renewal of the $3,000 event for 2:11 trotters. The Wolverene Is to be two in three and the other events three in five heats. Penn Crew Arranging Dates. There api>ears to be a growing attempt to heal the athletic break which has long existed between Pennsylvania and her natural geographical rival, Princeton. The freshmen crews of the universities will meet in a race on the Schuylkill, and ft is a known fact that negotiations are under way to arrange a race between the varsity eights as well. Rowing is booming at Pennsylvania, and a pretentious schedule il being arranged. A varsity race has already been scheduled with Yale, and races with Princeton and New York universities are probabilities. Big Trotting Meet. Announcement has been made of a race meeting to be held in Lawton. Okia., April 17 to 27, inclusive, which, It is believed, will attract between 300 and 500 of the best horses on the western turf. The Comanche county fair grounds have been leased by the promoters of the meet Announcement was also made that Lawton. Chickasaw, Enid, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Claremore, Bartlesville, Pawsuska, all in Oklahoma, and Parsons, Kan., will be included in a racing circuit Unruh May Succeed Baldwin. A meeting of the stockholders of the Los Angeles Racing association will be held in the near future to elect a president to replace the deceased E*. J. Baldwin. A. J. Unruh, the real comp> troller of the Baldwin estates, is mentioned as the possible successor to the late turfman. Unruh has been very closely connected with the business of Mr. Baldwin and the biggest holders of stock in that race course. Rovers Will Tour Great Britain. The famous Fall River (Mass.) Rovers, one of the best association football teams in the east, will tour Great Britain next season. Negotiations are under way for games in England, Ireland and Scotland.

The fight clubs of Milwaukee and other towns where glove contests have been held have acted In co-operation with business men of Wisconsin, and( an attempt is to be made to get the legislature to pass a hill permitting fights throughout the state of Wisconsin. Entries For Kentucky Futurity. With the entries of several California breeders and others now in Europe to be heard from, the entry list to the twentieth renewal of the Kentucky Futurity for foals of 1909 will be far in excess of last year. With breeders at-* distance yet to be heard from, the number will run over 1.300 which will be a record breaker.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Riga on Pasture. The spring litters should be provided with a good clover pasture and In addition be given a moderate grain ration, enough to maintain a steady, rapid growth, writes an Ohio farmer in the National Stockman. Clover alone is Just about a maintenance ration, and little if any growth can be secured on a grass ration alone. The grass ration is all right as far as it goes, but the pig-cannot consume and digest enough/ to make any considerable growth owing to his smyll stomach, which In the pig is the smallest of any domestic animal of like weight A given amount of grain will make double the pork with clover that it will in winter or dry lot feeding, and as the price of grain has been high for some time and 1# likely to continue so the successful grower of hogs in the future is the one who summer feeds on a clover pasture. Dairy Feeding Experiment. The Wisconsin experiment station Is trying out the plan of feeding dairy cows as many pounds of grain daily per cow* as she produces pounds of butter fat during the week, or seven times as much grain as the amount of fat produced daily. The cows receive as much hay and silage as they w-ill eat up clean, usually requiring twentyfive to forty-three pounds of silage and three or four pounds of hay daily. The results of the experiment will prove interesting. It is generally conceded that It is impossible to determine upon any hard and fast rule in feeding cows, or, for that matter, any other animal. -The successful feeder Is he who can vary’ his feed according to the animals’ requirement and ability to return a profit on the feed consumed. Fertilizer For Potatoes. The old tradition that potatoes are peculiarly hungry for potash cannot be stamped out. But It Isn’t true. This Is a fact many times demonstrated. Much potato land Is deficient most of all In phosphoric acid. That is the first need. In the fertilizer phosphoric acid should run high. Some land, well manured or clovered, needs only phosphorus. Where a complete fertilizer pays, try one high in this one element Do not use too much nitrogen. It makes big vines, but does not put the big tubers in the hill. If manure has been used, try 400 or 500 pounds of acid phosphate or steamed bone per aero and eighty pounds sulphate of potash. At any rate, try some carrier of phosphoric acid. Use It freely.—National Stockman.
