Scoff and Cough. the man who scoffs at the friendly ada aseep to "take something for that cough," mind or changes his earthly resion coughing until he changes A great many scoffers have been arerted by the use of the standard eddy--Carter's Cough Cure. But lama, the bark with bronchitis or groan are scoffing yet: they wheeze with caber of grip. stubborn Singular, people, isn't who it? persist gambling with health and perhaps as the stake, when they might be chally cured of cough, cold or lung cable, by a few doses of Carter's Odigh Price at J. E.

Kern's drug Harper's Weekly. Kaffir Corn. In yielding fodder this corn bas another desirable characteristic. It remains green until after the seed is ripe. The yield of this fodder is nearly double that of ordinary corn.

As a food product it is not quite so nutritious. for live stock as Indian corn, but the margin of difference is so slight that only scientific research is able to reveal it. In a given quantity it has been found that Indian corn has 81.7 per cent. of the substances that produce heat and fat and support muscular effort. Kaffir corn produces 80.7 per cent.

of the same substances in the same quantity of corn. It is more difficult, however, for the farmer to prepare the grain of Kaffir corn for food than the old -time corn. Kaffir corn i is harder and grittier, and needs more grinding than its rival. Neither cattle nor swine make as great growth in a weight while being fed for market on Kaffir corn as on the old-time feeds, but an exhaustive experiment, made by the State Agricultural College in Kansas in 1896, revealed that when cattle and bogs are fed together, red Kaffir corn (the white Kaffir corn not being so nutritious as the red) is the best ration that can be used on the farm. That part of the produet that the cattle fail to use in beefmaking the hogs absorb, and the minimum waste results.

Elaborate tables have been made showing the superiority of Kaffir corn to all other kinds of corn for the Western farmer, all based upon the fact that it is a drouth resister, that it has the power to grow again after it has taken a forced rest, and that it does not become "fired," as ordinary corn does in a time of hot winds. A remarkable thing about alfalfa and Kaffir corn has been demonstrated in the experiments at the Kansas Agricultural College, and that is that twenty pounds of alfalfa hay and eight pounds of Kaffir corn make the dairy ration." It is asserted by the experts at this institution that on this ration it is possible for the Kansas dairy cow to produce the very beet butter at four cents a pound. Allowing two cents a pound for freight to New York city, the Kansas dairymen assert that they can put butter on the market: in the metropolis cheaper than any other producers in the country. If that be true, the outlook for the farmer who cultivates these unfailing crops of alfalfa and Kaffir corn must be rosy, for whether the farmer decides to transform these crops into butter, or into beef, pork, or mutton, he seems to be in a position to do so at the minimum cost. Photographs of Bad Roads.

The League of American Wheelmen, desiring to procure photographs of bad country roads for use in its agitation of the Good Roads movement, has offered $125 cash in prizes, as follows: First prize fifty doliars, second prize twentyfive dollars, third prize fifteen dollars, fourth prize ten dollars, and five prizes of five dollars each. Prizes will be awarded on single pictures. Anyone can take part in this competition and send in as many photographs as he pleases, but not more than one prize will be awarded to any one person. The competition Will remain open until June 1, 1898, and every person able to: use a camera, and who knows what a bad country road is like when he sees it, should assist the good work and enter the competition. Photographs should be sent to Otto Dorner, Chairman National Committee for Highway improvement, L.

adjourned session Tuesday evening, with all members present except King, who was detained by sickness. After calling the 1 roll the bids for the construction of the radiator factory were opened and read by the clerk. The bids were as follows: F. Messner, J. J.

Knoepfle, Ross August Roehr, $7,400. These bids, which did not include the boiler, engine or cupola, were all much higher than the specified amount to be used to put the building in working order, and Mr. Gibbony explained that it would be impossible to make any further modification of the plans, and still leave the building adequate to his business. He has some men who are now drawing salaries but are doing no work, whom he could use in the construction of the building, and thinks that by using them and putting the contractor's profit, if any, into the buildings, he wight cut down the cost to the required figures. On motion all the bids were rejected, and a further motion was made and carried that if Mr.

Gibbony thought he could put up the buildings, according to the specifications. and could give a bond to secure the city, he could go on with the work, and if he decided to change the specifications the contractors were to have another chance to bid on the work. As C. F. Birk had been nominated for mayor, he tendered, his resignation as councilman from the third ward.

Mr. Lauck said this was the first time 'he had ever heard of a democrat resigning an office and moved that the resignation be accepted. The motion was carried and then an adjournment was taken to Wednesday evening, to finish up the radiator business. At the adjoured session Wednesday evening, nothing was done. The plans and specifications bad been changed and modified, but no new bids were submitted.

Mr. Gibbony announced his intention of undertaking the job himself if the bonds could be sold, and the council adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening. MARRIAGES Brien- -Clingan. Mr. Jacob Brien and Miss Ellen A.

Cliogan, of near Sulphur Springs, were united in marriage Tuesday evening, March 22, by Rev. T. J. Monnett, at his home on South Poplar street. The groom is an industrious farmer and for several years past has been the manager of the Clingan farm.
