■AN OLD PAINTER'S IDEAS."
The autumn season is coming mor* J
and more to be recognized as a most !
suitable time for housepainting. There |
Is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best job of paint-
Ing, and the general seasoning of the
eummer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to ba settled
for the necessary length of tlsn»» t«
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, •
very important precaution. An 014
end successful painter said to the
writer the other day:"House owners
would get more for their money If they
would allow their painters to take
tnoro time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
•tacky,' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. It is inconvenient, of
course, but, if one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, it would add two
or three years to the life of the paint."
All this is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
bo had. The purest of white lead and
the purest of linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper of the cheap mixtures,
often known as "White Lead," and oil
which has been doctored with fish oil,
benzine, corn oil or other of the
adulterants known to the trade are
used, all the precautions of the skilled
painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peeling which make
houses unsightly In a year or so and ;
therefore, make painting bills too fra
quent and costly. House ownel
should have his painter bring the in
gredients to the premises separately

World's Cotton Consumption.
The consumption of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 9,000,000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was 10.-
684,146 bales annually, and the aver
ago price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next flvo year
period the average will be nearly 13,-
000,000 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than in the pre
vious period. This indicates a pros
perous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer, as well as for the
export trade.

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.
A woman who haa used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market S years ago knows from ex
perience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market I was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally I de
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got a cample and had it
carefully prepared, finding It deli
cious to the taste. So I continued
its use and very soon its beneficial ef
fects convinced me of Its value, for
I got well of my nervousness and dys
pepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cof
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom
ach. To make a long story short our
entire family have now used Postuin
for eight years with completely sat
isfying results, as shown in our line

ticed a rather unexpected Improve

"BUFFALO" JONES WON OUT
SUCCESS OF YELLOWSTONE;
PARK GAME WARDEN.
By Experiments In Cross-Breeding
Domestic Cattle and Buffalo He j
Has Propagated a New
Animal.
New York.- When President Roose- j
volt made his last visit to the Yel- ]
lowstone National park and wrapped
himself in one of the new crossbred |
buffaln robes—as soft as silk and
as large as a parlor rug—he expressed !
delight and astonishment. Years be
fore C. T. (Buffalo) Jones, game war- j
den of the Yellowstone park, began
his experiments in crossing buffalo
with domestic breed of cattle, and
Mr. Roosevelt said if he could succeed
in crossing that old-fashioned buffalo j
robe he would accomplish wonders. j
So when the president recently saw

the immense silky robes, dark, curly
and resplendent, like Russian sable,
he told Mr. Jones he had fame before 1
him.
So great has been the success of the
experiment that the government has
set aside an immense tract of land in
Arizona for a ranch and the further
development of these cross-bred buf
faloes.
When Mr. Jones came to New York
the other day to receive a cargo of
black Galway cattle from Europe, he
was asked for an interview.
"Well, I answer by giving an ac
count of my experience. Leaving
Bloomington, 111., my native place, I
settled in southwestern Kanss and es
tablished a cattle ranch. In 1885, dur
ing the terrible winter long to be re
membered, I lost so many cattle that
there seemed no future iu the busi

NEGRO TO BECOME POTATO KING
Colored Kansas Farmer Educates Son
to Succeed Him.
Des Moines, la. —Walter P. Groves,
the colored young man who was grad
uated from the commercial depart
ment of Highland Park college this
spring, was educated to sell potatoes.
And that will mean no small task.
His father, who lives on a farm near
Kansas City, Ivan., is known as "The
Potato King," because he raises and
sells more potatoes than any other
man in the world. Resides his own
production he buys potatoes and ships
them. In Kansas City he maintains
a commission office and employs
i some ten stenographers and book
keepers in his offices. Realizing that
such a large business as his has
grown to be needed a well trained
head, he has been educating his son.
The son, Walter, was first graduated
| from the Kansas Agricultural college.
| Then he came to Des Moines and
j took the commercial course so as to
be equipped for business. He has
returned to his home in Kansas City,
Kan., and will take up the manage
ment of the business for his father.
He will probably succeed his parent

tercd starvlinga left over in the spring,
1 observed that while (he plains were
covered with dead herds as far south
as Texas, in not a single case did I
find a dead buffalo. They were fat
and smooth, and I saw several small
herds in what was then No Man'*
Land, now Oklahoma. Among the
hundreds of thousands of dead cattle
not one carcass of buffalo appeared.
That set me thinking. I thought long
and deep.
"Nature has taught buffaloes how
to live and keep fat in the wildest
weather. They will not only find
plenty of grass after the fiercest bliz
zard, but if there is a shortage they
will luxuriate 011 the roots of any
kind of herbage, as well as bushes and
the limbs and buds of cottonwood
trees. Xo matter how terrible a bliz
zard may be, buffaloes turn their faces
to tlie storm and will stand for days
in a beating norther' that would kill
the fattest American cattle or drive
them hundreds of miles southward.
"With these facts before me I deter
mined to experiment, but I soon found
that the secrets of nature are not to
be had for the asking, and it was
years before success seemed near.
"The craze for buffalo robes cov
ered the plains with hunters, and it
was not long before the American bi
son was nearly extinct. But for the
government interference there would
not be a buffalo alive to-day. When I
began buffaloes were so wild there was
nothing to do but capture the calves.
1 finally got 58 and began to hybridiz®
crowing the buffalo bulls with domes
tic cowa. Failure followed my first
attempt, but 1 was not entirely dis
couraged, and at last out of 20 cov, a I
managed to raise two calves.
"After years of experiment, I was
able to save GO per cent, of our calves.
Still it was all uncertainty, and it
was more by accident and awkward
ness than anything else that I
stumbled on the secret of successfully
propagating the new breed of animals
which I have named catalo—not cat
tleo, as some people spell the name.
1 now haVe an animal that
is one-third larger than either of its
ancestors —buffalo or cattle. The
meat is delicious and the animals keep
fat on any kind of food.
"It is a fact that all the hardy
qualities of the buffalo are retained in
breeding. The buffalo dominates; it
is the strongest type, hence we have
a bred that will actually live on sticks
and straws, and does not care for high
feeding or sheds or barns. Our cows
keep so fat while running loose on
the plains that we have to put them
in corrals and cut off their feed dur
ing the btxxding season to reduce
flesh. Cows weigh a ton each and
the steers average from 2,700 to 3,000
pounds. The fur of the catelo when
bred with the black Galway stock, is
like otter or beaver, and the duster
equals the finest Russian sable.

Pledge for Workmen.

Rich Women Have Troubles.
Tho Idea that fashionable women
are too busy and had too many inter
ests to feel acute sorrow over their
broken crockery was disproved the
other day when Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
went into the principal dry goods
store in Newport with a friend who
stopped to watch a man who was
selling cement for cut glass and called
to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is a cement
for cut glass which not only mend 3
it but makes it ring as clearly as if
it were new." Mrs. Fish called back:
"My servants break so much of my
glass now that it is heartbreaking and
if they knew it were possible to
mend it they would break it all, so I
don't care for any, thank you."

Preach from Automobiles.
A novel method of preaching the
gospel was recently tried in France
with striking success. Pastor Delat
tre from Roame (Reformed church),
in company with Pastor Sainton, of
the Baptist church, in Paris, visited
with an automobile the departments
of Loire, Rhone, Alier, Saone et Loire,
within a radius of about 90 miles.
Pastor Delattre writes: "During near
ly two months, from our automobile,
we have been able to preach the
gospel on market places, from fair to
fair, distributing thousands of tracts
and selling no less than 2,600 copies
of the New Testament."

Br. F. Gerald Blattner, of Buffalo, N. Y., Hays: "Your Castoria is good

Br. E. J. Bennis, of St. Louis, Mo., says:"l have used and prescribed
your Castoria in my sanitarium and outside practice for a number of years
and find it to be an excellent remedy for children."
Br. S. A. Buchanan, of Philadelphia, Pa., says:"l have used ycur Cas

Br. R. E. Eskildson, of Omaha, Neb., says:"l find your Castoria to he a

havo ever known and I recommend it."
Br. L. R. Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria certain!?
has merit. Is not its age, its continued use by mothers through all tl| a
years, and the many attempts to imitate it, sufficient recommendation?
What can a physician add? Leave it to the mothers."
Br. Edwin F. Pardee, of New York City, says:"For several years I hjavo
recommended your Castoria and shall always continue to do so, as it caa
invariably produced beneficial results."
Br. N. B. Sizer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says:"l object to what are cal'jed

Nicotine in Tobacco.
A scientist writes: "The essential
! quality for which tobacco is smoked
: or chewed lies not really in the leaves

sands of hollow-knobbed hairs which
! cover their surface. The vital nicotine
; is garnered in these pearlike balls, but
as it is impossible to shave off these
i hairs, and would be a scarcely com
| mendable achievement if it could be
j undertaken, it becomes necessary to
| preserve the whole foliage for com
! mercial purposes."
