Though put up in coarser form than , Thedford's Black-Draught, renowned for the core of the digestion troubles of persons, It hot the-iame qualities of invigorating digestion, stirring np the torpid liver and loosening the constipated bowels for all stock and poultry. . It is carefully pre pared and its action ia so healthful that stock grow and thrive with an occasional dose ' in their food. It cures hog cholera and makes hogs mow; fat, it cures cmcken cholera and roup and makes hens lay. It cures constipation,, distemper and colds in horses, murrain in cattle, and makes a draught animal do more work for the food consumed. It eives animals and fowls of all kinds new life.-; Every farmer and raiser should certainly give it a trial. . . - It costs 2So. a can and saves ten times its price in profit. - Ptrsbubs, Ku., March 15, ISM. f ha been twin voor Blaok-Dramrht fltnek and Poultrr Medicine on mv took for some time.

That Is a great trait or the lumber jack. But Dyer, the scaler, finally caused the outbreak. Dyer was an efficient enough man in his way, but he loved bis own ease. His habit was to stay in his bunk of mornings until well after daylight To this there could be no objection except on the part of the cook, who was supposed to attend to his business himself, for the scaler was active In his work when once he began It and could keep up with the skidding. But now he displayed a strong antipa thy to the north wind on the plains. "I don't pose for no tough son of a gun!" said he to Badway. "And I've got some respect for my ears and feet She'll warm up a little by tomorrow, and perhaps the wind '11 die. I can catch up to you fellows by hustling a little, so I guess I'll stay In and work on the books today." "All right" Radway assented, a lit tle doubtfully. This happened perhaps two days out of the week. Finally Dyer hung out a thermometer, which he used to consult The men saw it and consulted it too. At once they felt much colder. "She was stan' 10 below," sputtered Baptiste Tellier, the Frenchman who played the fiddle. "He freeze t'rou to bees eenside. Dat is too cole for mak ln' de work." "Them plains Is sure a holy fright," assented Purdy. Tb' old man knows It himself," agreed big Nolan. Did you see him rammin' around yesterday askin' us if we found her too cold? He knows very well he ought not to keep a man out that sort o' weather." "You'd shiver like a dog in a brier path on a warm day in July," said Jackson HInes contemptuously. Shut up!" said they. "You're barn boss. You don't have to be out in the cold." This was true. So Jackson's inter vention went for a little worse than nothing. "It ain't lak he has nuttin' besides," went on Baptiste. '"He can mar ce cut In de meedle of de fores'." "That's right," agreed Bob Stratton. "They'a the west half of 'elghtf ain't been cut yet" So they sent a delegation to Kaaway. Big Nolan was the spokesman. "Boss," sauTne bluntly, "snes too cold to work-on them plains today. She'a the coldest day we had." Radway was too old a hand at the business to make any promises on the spot "I'll see, boys." saw no. When the breakfast was over the crew were sent to mamngr biiuh and travoylng roads on "eight." This was a precedent. In time the wora on the plains was grumbllngly done in any weather. However, aa to this Radway proved firm enough. He was a good fighter when he knew he was being Im posed upon. And as the days slipped by be tight ened the reins. Christmas was ap proaching. An easy mathematical com putation reduced the question of corn- f im hi. .n(mrt with Morrison J CTVi eerta., weekly quota.

"Yoo know my address. You'll bare to take charge, and I guess you'd better let the scaling go. We can get the tally at the banking grounds when we begin to haul.

Ke must know how a thing ought to be done, and he 'must bo on hand unexpectedly to see how its oc compllshment is progressing. Dyer should have been out of bed at first horn blow. One morning he slept until nearly 10 o'clock. It was inexplicable! He hur ried from his bunk, made a hasty tollot and started for the dining room to get some sort of a lunch to do him until dinner time. As he stepped from the door of the office he caught sight of two men hurrying from the cook camp to the men's camp. He thought he heard the hum of conversation In the latter building. The cookee set hot coffee before him. For the rest ho took what he could find cold on the ta ble. Dyer sat down, feeling for the first time a little guilty. This was not be cause of a sense of a dereliction In du ty, but because he feared the strong man's contempt for Inefficiency. "I sort of pounded my ear a little long this morning," he remarked, with an unwonted air of bonhomie. The cook creased his paper with one hand and went on reading. '1 suppose the men got out to the, marsh on time," suggested Dyer, still' easily. The cook laid aside his paper and looked the scaler In the eye. "You're the foreman; I'm the cook," said be. "You ought to know." Dyer was no weakling. The prob lem presenting, he rose to the emergen- "Houft thU, menf cried Dyer sharply, cy.

A chain running through blocks at tached to a solid upper framework, like the open belfry of an Italian mon astery, drugged a barrel up a wooden traok from a wuter hole to an opening In the sprinkler. When in action this formidable machine weighed nearly two tons and resembled a moving, bouse. Other men had felled two big hemlocks, from which they had hewed beams for a V plow. The V plow was now put In action. Six horses drew It down the road, each pulr superintended by a driver. The machine was weighted down by a num ber of logs laid across the arms., Men guided it by levers and by throwing their weight agnlnst the fans of the i plow. It was a gay, animated scene, this, full of the spirit of winter the plodding, straining horses, the brilliant ly dressed, Rtruggllng men, the sullen yielding snow thrown, to either aide, the shouts, warnings and commands. To right and left grew white bank! of snow. Behind stretched a broad white piith In which a scant inch bid the bare earth. ' For some distance the way led along comparatively high ground. Then, skirting the edge'of a lake, It plunged Into a deep creek bottom between hills. Hew earlier la the year eleven bridges had been constructed, OHd"TJ'erbapaus many swumpy places had been "cor duroyed" by carpeting them with long parallel poles. Now the first difficulty began. - Some of the bridges had sunk below the level, and the approaches bad to bo "corduroyed" to a practicable grade. Others again were bumped up like tom cats and bad to be pulled apart en tirely. Still that sort of thing was to be ex pected. A gang of men who followed the plow carried axes and cant hooka , for the purpose of repairing extern- poraneously just such defects which never would have been discovered oth erwise than by the practical experi ence. Radway himself accompanied the plow. Thorpe, who went along as one of the "road monkeys," saw now why such care bad been required of him In smoothing the way of stubs, knots and burtmiocks When the roud had been partly cleaned Kudwny started one of his sprinklers. Water boles of suitable size bad been blown In the creek bank by dynamite. There . the machines were filled. Stratton attached bis borne to the chain and drove him back and forth, hauling the barrel up and down the slide way. At the bottom It was capsized and filled by means of a long pole shackled to Its bottom and manip ulated by old man Heath. At the top It turned over by Its own weight Thus seventy odd times. Then Fred Green hltolied his team on and the four horses drew the creak ing, cumbrous vehicle spouting down the road. Water gushed In fans from the openings on either side and beneath and In streams from two boles behind, Not for an Instant as long at the flow continued dared the teamstera breathe their horses, for a pause would freezo the runners tight to the ground. A tongue at either end obviated the ne cessity of turning around. - That night It turned wanner. The change was heralded by a shift-of wind. , - ' "She's goln' to rain." said old Jack son. "The air ia kind o" boiler." . "Hollow? said Thorpe,, laughing. "How Is tbatr "I don' know,? confessed HInes, "but be is. She just feel that way." In the morning the Icicles dripped from the roof, and the snow became pockmarked on the surface, i . Radway was down looking at the .road. .... ; ' v ' .. ; "She's boldln' her own,' said be, '"but there ain't any one putting more water on her. She ain't freezing a mite Wc'l I plow her onf - So they finished the Job and plowed her. out, . leaving exposed the wet, marshy surface of the creek bottom, on whieb at night a thin crust formed. 'Thu'll freeze a little tonight said lUiiway hopefully. "You sprinkler boys get at her and wet her down." Until 2 o'clock In the morning tbo four team and the six. men creaked buck and forth spilling hardly gatb- cml water. Then they crept in and ate sleepily the food that a sleepy cookee set out for them. By morning tbe mere surface of the sprinkled water had frozen. Badway looked in despair at tbe sky. Dimly through the gray be caught tbe tint of blue.. . , , Tbe sun came out Nuthatches and woodpeckers ran gayly op the wann ing trunks of the trees, bine Jaya fluff ed and perked and screamed in the hardwood tops; a covey of grouse ven tured from the swamp and strutted vainly, a pause of contemplation be tween each step. Badway, walking oat on the tramped road of the marsh, cracked tbe artificial skin and throat bis foot through Into Icy water. That night tbe sprinkler, stayed In. The devU aeemed la It VI en were lying Idle; teams were doing tbe same. Nothing went on bat tbe days of tbe year, and four of them bad already Ucked off tho calendar, Tbe deep enow of tbe anoanally cold autumn bad bow dlaappeared from tbe tope of tbe tumps.

It. mrfac of thick, glassy lee "beautiful to be hold, the ruts cut deep and true, the gludes sanded or sprinkled with re tarding bay on the descents. At the river the banking ground proved solid. Radway breathed again, then sighed. Spring was eight days nearer. He was eight days more behind. As soon aa loading began the cook served breakfast at 3 o'clock. The men worked by the light of torches, which were often merely catchup Jugs with wicklng In the necks. Nothing could be more picturesque than a teamster conducting one of hla great pyramid- leal loads over the little inequalities of the road. In the ticklish places stand ing atop with the bent knee of the Ro man charioteer, spying and forestall lng the chances of the way with a fixed eye and an Intense concentration that relaxed not one Inch In the miles of the haul. Thorpe bad become a fall fledged cant hook man. He liked the work. There la about It a skill that fascinates. A man grips suddenly with the hook of hla strong Instrument, stopping one end that the other may slide. He thrusts tbo short, strong stock between the log and the skid, allowing It to be overran. Ho stop the roll with a sudden sure grasp applied at Just the right moment to be effective. Sometimes he allows himself to be carried op bodily, clinging to the cant hook like an acrobat to a bar, un til the log has rolled once, when,. his weapon loosened, he drops lightly, eas ily to the ground. And It ia exciting to pile the logs on the sleigh, first a layer of five, say; then one of four smaller, of but three, of two, until at the very apex the last la dragged slowly up the skids, poised and Just as It Is about to plunge down the other aide Is gripped and held Inexorably by the little men In blue flannel shirts. Chains bind the loads. And If ever during the loading or afterward when tbo sleigh Is in motion the weight of the logs causes the pyramid to break down and squash out, then woe to the driver or whoever happens to be near. For this reason the loaders are picked and careful men. , At the banking grounds, which lie In and about the bed of the river, the logs are piled Into a gigantic skid way to await the spring freshets, which will carry them down stream to the "boom." In that Inclosure they remain until sawed In tbe mill, nil oo.TTiHcrD.J HE WOULDN'T SCARE. Medieal Student's 8oh.m. That Fall ed to Work. A Maine medical student who has been visiting in Auburn tells this grewsome, but not uninteresting, story about miracles. "I have been at work," said he, "in one of the largest city hospitals recently, and there were a large Dumber of students who, like my self, were trying to get practical ex perience in surgery and other branches of the medical profession. Among, the younger fellows was a student apparently without any nerves, lie could stand up before the most trying operation from the very first without the quiver of a muscle. We all decided that he was destined for greatness by the short road. In the meantime one of the leaders among the students (there is always a leader, you know) got a crowd of us together and held a council of war. 'Now. you. say young 8. hasn't any nerves,' said he. 'What do you say about making a test? "It was agreed in a few minutes, and the arrangements were made on the spot. Our young nerveless friend waa to take his turn at a dif ficult operation that very evening. Accordingly, just before the ap pointed time one of the bravest of our set started for the operating room. All was dark and still aa he crept under the operating table upon which the dead body lay. It should be explained that a wire had been connected with the right. arm of the dead body and led down un der the table within easy reecn ox tbe concealed man. Pretty soon, after what must have been an in terminable wait for the man under the table, our nerveless young mas ter surgeon came into the room and began nls work. All at once our leader pulled the wire, and the arm hot up straight into the air about two feet. Our friend glanced up a moment, put it down and continued his work aa if nothing had happen ed; After another half minute our leader pulled the wire again. Again the arm shot up as before, and again our student friend put it down in place with the same air of perfect unconcern, while he resumed his work as before. Kow, we who were watching behind the door began to get impatient, and so did our leader under the table. Next time he gave the wire a tug that nearly parted it from its fastenings, and this time the arm shot straight over the bent head of the young operator and stayed there like an avenging spirit Our friend looked up from his work, took hold of the hand, put the arm back in its place and, with the air of one completely absorbed in bis work, murmured: "There!

A Proatablo Ba.taeaa Wkta IatelU S"eatlr Coadaeted. Poultry keeping and breeding pay well for the time, thought and study given them, and any one that likes the business and is willing to work can do well at It says V. M. Couch la Ford try Advocate. But there are those who think they can get tbelr stock, fix np a nice bouse and then alt down and have the bens do the rest This class will full and had better keep oat of the business in tbe first place. For this northern climate the first requirement la a warm, dry house. Then come cleanliness and regularity In feeding and care. There Is little danger of a hen lay ing on too much fat when abe Is pro ducing egga any more than there ia of a cow when giving milk. .When bens are taking their vacation ; or being neglected Is tbe time when they get out of condition by too much feed, If you feed meat to the fowls be sure that it la fresh ana anuinua. Diseased or tainted meat la dangerous and will very likely cause disorder and diseases In the flock. I have found that the cheapest and beat food for poultry In the form of meat Is fresh cut bone and meat Even at S cents a pound It hi an economical feed, and It la rarely that It costs that much, and In many localities It may be had for nothing. But when you get It from the butcher, even if it costs 3 cents pound, examine It carefully to see that there are no tainted pieces In the lot I believe that one great trouble in feeding meat baa been that many over do the matter. They feed too much. and this practice will most surely re sult lu disease and other bad results. Avoid scraps and meat meal of poor quality. front Coop, to Winter eloartass. Tbe practice of getting the chicks in to tbe winter bouses early In tbe fall seems to be gaining favor, and whan It does not restrict their freedom or subject them to unsanitary surround Ings It la doubtless a good plan.

Reliable Poultry Journal, I ... . The Lakes velde. The Lakenvelder, a German fowl. perhaps the most recent of all breeds to claim public attention, Is a White Leghorn with black markings, says the Feather. We believe that the name of the fowl refers to a shadow on a white sheet, perhaps meaning that the black neck and hackle and tbe black tall are shadows east upon a white body plumage. LakeBveldera are In fact a White Leghorn that baa black neck, hackle, saddle and tall plumage In both the male and tbe female. Tbe female, however, baa a perfectly white back, only black on the hackle and main tall. Another peculiarity of the breed Is that the shanks are of a btalsb color, and the comb of tbe female of the original stands erect rather than falling over to one side, aa does tbe comb of tbe Leghorn female. Under the English standard tbe comb of tbe female most torn over like that of our Leghorns. Vellsw SklBMd few la. Our American people want yellow skinned and yellow legged fowls. Any other class goes begging la tbe mar-1- kets, says M. K. Boyer ia American Poultry Journal. We are sorry to see this prejudice, for It sacrifices soeh sa ble breeds as Langsbans and Bondana, two . excellent varieties. Personally we bare yet to find a better table bird, taking Juiciness of flesh and a good supply of meat Into consideration, than the Lanirsh.n. It to the "turkey" of tbe chicken world. Neither have we found a carcass that will cat meat to better advantage and give It In finer grain and in a more tempting quality than tbe Iloudau. Bat oar American epicures will not try It The preju dice is their, and you cannot wipe It oat As we have said before, oar peo ple want the yellow akin, and that la found best In our American varieties.
