Any excessive or unusual exertion, however, is sure to cause stiffness and sorenes3 of tha muscles and joints. To counteract this effect there Is nothing better than Sloan's Liniment. Lay It on lightly where the muscles have been strained; it requires no rubbing for it penetrates right to the bone, relieves any congestion and inCammation and makes the muscles clastic and pliant. Sloan's Liniment is a great boon to athletos, for it not only relieves pain and stiffness, but it is an excellent remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and cramps. Mr. J. F. Brice of Tuscumbta. Ala., writes: "I am an engineer cn the Southern Road from Chattanooga to Memphis. Tenn. The continued elevation of my arm upon the throttle gives it a sore feeling when on a long journey, and there is nothing that will take the soreness out like Sloan's Liniment and I keep a bottle In my grip always."

At the time we got ofT the train at Wolse ley. Sask.. we had only a few dDllars, not enough to start farming on our own account, so we were compelled to work out for a considerable time in order to make sufficient money to enable us to establish ourselves. When wo thought we had money enough to start with. I and my brother took up one quarter-section (ICO acres) land eaci' in the Loon Creek district. In l'JUU

Whie I was engaged with the wori: the Celd. my brofher built a shack and barn of logs, which we had hauled during the time we were not able to work In the ßcld. We were certainly working very hard, but I am glad to say that we made our fortune in this tountry. To-day we do not need to work so hard as we used to do. as we have three hired men steady, for whom we ray $G0.(O to $10.00 a month, besides board and lodging during the summer time. I am also g!ad to tell you that to-day we are owners of a section and three-qucrters of the best land, with first-class buildings thereon, besides having all the necessary machinery. We always do our own threshing, for we have a 22-horse-power threshing outfit. Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of a number of horses of less value, and instead we bought ten pure-bred mares, representing a value In the neighborhood Of $3,000. Regarding raising grain, which Is the main factor in our district. I am proud to say that we have always had go id success. We have raised w heat as high as thirty-five bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suffered from lack of sufficient rain, our wheat went twenty-seven bushels to the acre, and we had 000 acres In crop. We have broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres In crof. For one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few wevks ngo we got a price of 07 cenls per bushel, tnd It was graded as No. 2 Northern, although we have a quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern. During tie six years we have been farming for ourselves, we have never had one frost around here, so that we always had a good crop. I, for myself, feel compelled to say that our Great West is the land where a person who Is willing to work and turn his hands to anything can make a fortune, and a comfortable living. Our country is a thoroughly free country, and we have a good Government; and, as long as we have good crops and a good Government, we are satisfied, and I think that is all we want. Yours very truly.

The Century. Don Juan NYpomucr no Mata was giving, as h2 did every year, a novena of posadas. They had now reached the last celebration of the nine the 21th o? Deecniher. To a Northern eye. this would seem a strange eve of C hristmas. In the great court yaui of lon Juan Xepomucciio's house a cccoa palm was rustling; banana trcrs drooped their long, silky loaves, with edes whipped to ribbon fringes; the Intense tropical moon rays brought out, almost as sharply as would electric illumination, tho vivid scarlet great whorls of bracts of tall pohisettins, the "Flower of tho Nativity ;"' pink crepe myrtles made little clouds of pallor against the darker herbage; a clarin the "bugle bird" of tropical Mexico from Iiis cage, hung on a column of the longnrched corridor, was pealing his jubilant call, clear as a trumpet blast, sweet and tender as the tones of a nightingale. In the splendid salon of Don Juan Nepomuceno were assembled many persons; most of an extensive parentezco his kindred had come, besides numerous friends. They sat, In decorous stiff rows, on the sofas and chairs ranged around the wall, after the fashion of the country. Without leaving their scats, each talked softly to his neighbor. At the farther end of tho long nala was constructed tho Nacimicnto, desired at th's season by every householder, whether high or low, of the faithful. Don Juan Nepomuceno, conservative in all things, was a most consistent churchman. In this house it was a luxurious display, this objective allegory of the birth of the Savior of mankind. Here was an artificial hillock, a terraced mound covered with moss, with twigs and branches that stand for trees, banked on a firm foundation against the wall; there were the figures of the three kings, the magi, the shepherds, with their flocks and herds; there, in the little grotto at the apex, were the Virgin Mary and the reverenj, reverend Joseph; as yet the Nino, the Image of the sweet Habe Divine, was not visible It would be added on this, the last night of the posadas. In this Nacimicnto of opulent Don Juan Nepomuceno. tho trees and moss were not powdered with flour, but with glittering, flashing diamond dust; for bits of crystal, embedded in the moss, to Imitate lakes and pools, here were flakes of rich plate mirror; instead of lighted shreds of wick, floating In clay pannikins of rank oil and shining through colored water in ro.irse glass bottles the lights here were scented tapers, shaded by softly tinted globes; the figuriiies of angels and men, and all the lower creatures come to the Adoration, were not of cheap, common clay or wood, but of costly wax and porcelain; the canopy of the vault overhead was of rich azure silk, and the stars, sparkling among its veiling clouds of sheer, fine tuile, were all of precious gems. Yet, rich as It was, beautiful as it was, costly nn it was, only in -ot and finish did this shrine of Don Neioiiiuccno differ from the Nacimientds built In thousands of homos of the nbjec'ly poor, where the porters, hucksters washerwomen, water carriers, aye, beggars themselves! sought by direct appeal to the responsive eye of the ll-sh to revive and deepen In their heat's the Impression of the Divine Passion. And. remembering the humble; origin and lowly surroundings of Him whose birth they thus commemorate, who shall say that the poorer showing is no', the nearer to Ills likeness? "But how the Renor Mata must lavish money!" said Pablo Melendez, one of the guests, to another, Jose Quintana. "It is easy to see that he has no children for whom to save. Yet stay - do I mistake? I seem to remember Is it not so tliat he has a daughter?" "Ilombre! man! pray speak not of that !" cried Senor Quintana, who was a resident of the seaport town, knowing all about their host, whereas Melendez was from the plateau up near Dura ngo; Is easy, amigo mio, to see that you are a stranger here, and know not whereof you Seak. Valgame Dios! if Juan NeixMiiuceno had heard you! Why, this subject of Iiis daughter is the sorest of all topics. Even his eonfessor dares not mention her to him!" "VIrgen Fantissima! what an es cnie!" ejaculated Melendez; and, Ineleed. such a breach of social tact is a very serous matter among tho Mexican aristocracy. "But, my dear friend it Is a natural curiosity wo will speak very low wliat, then, of the daaghter? Is it a question of dishonor?" "Of disgrace black enough In the eyes of Juan Nepomuc-no yes!" gurgled fat Quintana; "of dishonor, no! Dishonor r.ins not in the blood of the Matas. The thing is that Klenlta married a gringo." "Married an Americano! But how, then! I fain would marry to one my own Ilosita they make excellent husbands for our maidens. Was this one Ill-bred a pauper? or mala gente a tad lot?" "No! no! Nothing of that! He Is lngeuiero a civil engineer you know bow well that profession succeeds In Mexico In these days. And he has money of Iiis own, moreover. But Juan Nepomuceno hates all Americans. Ills father and brothers fell in the War of '4G he himself fought gainst the toriners of Chapul tepee he- had Just

Well, when this young Mec-3;air Lecncone a pirtido all ol the most desirable asked for Flenita her father raged like a renegTon, c black jaguar of the jungle, and covered the youi g man with Insults. But Elenita has of her father's resolution; she Invoked the law of appeal for lovers, and had herself given in care of General Va lie's family, pending Investigation of the character of her pretcudieir.e, which proved beyond suspicion. So, in spite of her father's prejudice, thoy were married. Since, then It is six years Juan Nepomuceno will hear no mention of Elenita or of the Americans." rablo Melendez wagged his head:

"Que l.'.Mima! what a pity!" "Yes." went on Quintana, "and a pity for the town. too. This new company to put in good and cheap, but they would spead much money and employ some thousand peons think of that, in these hard times! But our State laws require for this the consent of the Jefe Politico, and Juan 'Cheno will not give it, for the erapresarlos are American. And he has only Just been re-elected" this with naive regret; "but we must be silent; the pr. cession begins." Most of the guests had formed in double file, and, bearing lighted candles, they marched through the rooms and corridors, singing chants. Intoning the Litany, and now and then pausing to ask for posada (lodgings), in Imitation of the movements and halts of the Holy Family, seeking shelter in Bethlehem of Judea. The uncomfortably stout among the matrons remained seated, to represent the posaderos. Presently the cura gave his blessing, that the march might not be prolonged to fatigue, and so interfere, with tho subsequent dancing. As the chosen ere started to lay the babe's Image in the manger, there was a stir, whispering, and tittering among the servants hanging about the courtyard for peeps through the doors. Then came the clip-clap of light but decided liLtlo steps, and a child entered the sala. She looked about five years old. She carried herself with confidence. She was dressed prettily and simply. Her face was very fair, and her long hair was light, but her eyes "son ojos del pals" ("They are the eyes of the country"), said they who looked upon her. As If by Instinct, she went straight to Don Juan Nepomuceno. "Senor," she said, very plainly and clearly. "1 knocked, and your portero wished not to let me come In, but I would I And the people in the patio I made theru let me pass to the sala they were but servants, and I knew tteir master would let me rest here Is It not so, senor until Mamaclta and Papaclto come to find me. I came out of the hotel to see the toy-sellers, and I lost me, and I am very tired and sleepy." "The precious child!" A little seraph!" "And she has come to seek posada, like the Santo Nino'' cried the ladles, moved fairly to tears by the little stranger. Child-like, she swerved aside, to the waxen Image, and touched It gently. "It is not I thought it was a real baby, but oh! I know! it is the Holy Child! Why! why! he was tired, too, and there was no house for him. But" she turned back to Don Juan Ne;wmucono with sweetest confidence "you will take care of me, for my Maoacita no. senor?" "Of a truth, then, I will, mi nlma my soul!" said the old cabnllero; by this only he In the room had not seen that the artless face cf the child was a lovable replica of his own stern features; "but to find thy parents tell me thy name!" "Oh. they will find me! But my name is Juana Nepomueena Lincoln y Mata" she added her mother's to her father's surname in real Spanish fashion. Don Juan Nepomuceno gasped. "I knew not there was a child," he said to h'msolf. "and they have given her my name!" The iron-mailed hand on the great street-door clanged on the buckler that was Its knocker. A moment later a voice spoke In the patio. In excellent Spanish, but with ßtrong foreign accent : "Oh. Senor Arrlaga! I am glad you chance to be in the court you will kindly bear my message, and spare my entering to intrude on Senor Mata? The gendarme on the corner told me lie saw my little daughter wander In here. We came to the portagaln to take ship to-morrow and the child slipped away from the hotel we have twenty men out searching my wife Is frantic with distress and dread. Will you kindly bring the little one out to me?" Don Juan Nepomuceno strode to the sala's door: "Carles Lincoln, you took my child from me, and yours has brought her back again, do quick and letch your wife. Your little girl" tho old man looked down fondly at the child nestled in his arms 'has found her posada her true and rightful lodging!" San Francisco Argonaut. An Impertinent Qiiendon.

The splendid exhibits of horses at our state and county fairs is proof enough that the Interest in good horse breeding Is growing. Formerly farmers thought wheat straw and corn was a good ration for producing line quality mutton, but later they have discovered that the best swtvt, juicy meat is prmlucod by feeding a variety of feeds, stich as clover, alfalfa, oatmeal, ground oats and a little corn and roots or ensilage for succulence. Most farmers think clover hay is not good for horses, but here is what a farmer friend had to say on this point the other day after having fed clover and 'nixed hay to his horses for several years: "If I had my choice between well-cured clover hay und nice, bright timothy, I would take the cloeer hay every time. Many fr.rmers are of the opinion that hordes will have the heaves If fed clover hay. I have raised a good many horses, and have never had one yet that had the heaves as a result of eating clover hay. Of course, a horse will sometimes oat more clover than is good for him. If permitted to do so, because he relishes it better than timothy. But give him the amount you think be ought to have and let him go without until the next time." "Vor4c YTltli I'arm Poultry. The laying hen must have meat or green bone if she Is to do her ltt.

In other seasons as low as 4!o ;ounds of water are used. Clover often uses over C."0 pounds of water for every pound of dry matter produced, and ieas use approximately 400 pounds.

Scarcely one of them need remain unprodm-tlve. They will grow timber pine, locust, poplar, osage orange, oak, chestnut or some other kind.

Most soils, even when very poor, as a general thing, contain plenty of plant food, except nitrogen, though sometimes other elements are lacki'ig. The texture must be Improved in order to Increase fertility, and plant food and humus added. Tillage goes a great way towards improving texture, but this alone Is not enough. Humus must be added, and in doing so plant fol is added, making the soil more permeable to air and water. Humus is supplied to the soil, first, by the addition of stable manure and this Is probably the best method, calling for more forage crops and more stock; second, by planting crops for the purpose of turning them under (plowing under green crop is called green manuring) : third, by growl n clover rnd timothy, which are usually left down for several years, during which

Members of the animal kingdom should be carefully guarded by proper sanitation to prevent losses by diseases generated by filthy environments. Hogs spend the greater part of the winter in plgstyes. and too often their cleanliness is neglected. It is not micommon to see hogs standing three inches deep in their own droppings, and from being constantly damp they often contract rheumatism and other diseases that destroy their growth. While brick or cement floors are more permanent they hold dampness longer than plank floors and are less comfortable to hogs that are housed during the winter. Hogs have an innate sense of sanitation, and unless forced by overcrowding, will reserve a corner of the plgstyo for sleep and rest which they will keep dry and clean. In the construction of pigstyes the sleeping quarters should l e'evated above the feeding Iloor and provided with plenty of straw for bedding. Hogs are often treated as If they were naturally filthy animals and sanitary arrangements unnecessary In the Industry. Domesticated hogs i thrive better when proper provisions are made for their cleanliness and comfort. JoodaHs Farmer. la Dry Feeding; Dent? Some very successful poultry men are. replacing mash for fowls by dry fec.1 and &ay they find It to be of greater value as food and find their herjs are less subject to disease. In one of Prof. Gowell's experiments the effect of replacing mash with dry f-eJ was also studied with 1.400 chickens fed cracked corn (or this grain and wheat) and lcof scraps kept in separate slatted tremghs so that they could help themselves at will to whichever feed they desired. The grain ration for pu-lets was about three-fourths corn and one-fourth wheat . and for cockerels cracked corn only. TI ere were no regular hours for feeding, but cart1 was taken that the troughs were nevei empty. Giit, bones and e3ster shells were also supplied as usual. The results were satisfactory. The lalor of feeding was far less than that required by any other method followed. Tho birds did not hang around the feed troughs and overeat, but helped themselves a little at a time and ranged off, hunting or playing and coming back again when so Inclined to the feed supply at the troughs. There was no rushing or crowding alKMit the attendant, as is usual at feeding time when large numlters are kept together. While the birds liked the beef scrap, they did not overeat at It During the range season from June to the close of October the birds ate j-.ist about on pound of the screp to ten pounds of the cracked corn and wheat. They had opportunity to balance their rations to suit themselves hy having the two classes of food tc select from alwajs at hand. The birds did well under this treatment and the cockerels were well developed and wv never raisl a better lot of pullets. The first egg was laid whet the oldest pullets were four months and ten days old. Wine to Their Ilnhit.

For PIMi Vanity of Convlcta. The vainest lot of men I ever did know are behind thee walls," remarked a convict in tlie penitentiary. "For fastidious dressing and cleanliness I Lave never seen anything like it. Those who have Lecii accustomed to sleeking tip on the outside grow much worse in here, and those who never even combed their hair on the outside have It as cleanly parted as they can. I know of a hundred instances where convicts have risked beins paddled or having time taken away jr.st for the sake of shaving. They get hold of a razor or improvise one and keep it in their cells. They all have mirrors in their cells along with the calendars. I know of one instance of a trust cd prisoner who begged for weeks to be allowed to wear a hat instead of the prison cap because he thought he did not look well ia it. Whenever they get an opiort unity they press their trousers. Th?y save collars for Sundays and appear very clean and neat and nice in chapel. I guess it is all because they have time to think about themselves more than ever. If a man has nothing but himself to think about he takes more pride in himself. Or maybe they want something with which to pass away the time in their cells." Columbus Dispatch. When Von Put on Heavy Stoekln do your shoes pinch, and your feet swell and perspire?
