An exchange tells of a young
wife who cured her husband of
staying out late at nights in an
original way. Before going to
bed she would place two chairs
together before the sitting room
grate and then hold a lighted
match to a cigar until the room
had a faint odor of tobacco. Al
though her husband never said a
word to her about noticing any
thing, three "applications" effect
ed a complete cure.

The literary work was render

Rev. W. E Hocutt, South Mills,

cause heartburn, sour stomach,

Fon:'e off the State of Connect

place the front gate at New Haven
ind you will have an estate of
about the dimensions of the King
ranch, in Hidalgo, , Star, and
Nueces counties. One million
acres and hundreds of thousands
of cattle owned by one woman !
Ranches containing from 100,000
to 500,000 acres are so numerous
as to be almost commonplace.
But li. is the breaking up of
these vast holdings which is re
sponsible for the sensational de
velopment now attracting the at
tention of all America. Oneopti
m:stic Texan told me thatthecat
tleraen had cired of silence and
longed for company. Maybe they
havo. It is the jingle of gold,
though, which has stirred them.
From five to thirty acres of grass,
according to the productiveness
of the soil, are required to fatten
steer. So long as that steer's
selling price pays, above all ex
penses, ti per cent, on the market
ralue of the land, there is money
in raismg it. When the land in
creases in value, however, there
is more money in selling the
ranch. The steer is falling be
hind, and that is why Texas, from
San Antonio, Houston, and Gal
veston on the north to Browns
ville on the south, is booming as
it never did belore. Mere out
posts of a few years ago are flour
ishing young cities now; more
towns are springing up, and there
are great plantations where the
rattle of the mower and the song
of th-3 plowman have supplanted
the crack of the cowboy's lash
and the soughing of the wind in
the chaparral. Whither goes the
cattleman ? To western Texas
and the Territories, and eventu
ally into Mexico. From "The
Growth of Southwest Texas," in

Reviews for February.

Failure Due to Inexperience.
The man that generally fails in
poultry raising is the novice, who
begins the raising of poultry on
account of the glowing accounts
he has seen of the ease with which
it is done, and the enormous pro
tits to be made, says an exchange.
Millions of men have figured
themselves rich on chickens. It
merely requires a knowledge of
the science ot numbers. Ifahen
lays a hundred eggs a year, and
fifty of the chickens are pullets,
and they in turn lay a hundred
eg;s a year, it takes but a little
while to figure out enormous re
turns from a small investment.
The unfortunate thing about the
problem is that things do not
work out in practice as they do on
paper. With the beginner in
poultry raising, ignorance is the
first obstacle, but with many it
proves to bo so large an obstacle
that the attempt to raise poultry
is not continued. To successful
ly raise poultry requires a large
amount of knowledge, which must
be acquired partly by experience.

Weak Points in a Horse.
The weak points of a horse can
better be discovered while stand
ing than while moving. If he is
sound he will stand firmly and
squarely on his limbs without
moving any of them, with legs
plump and naturally poised. If
.ne foot is thrown forward with
the toe pointing to the ground and
the weight taken from it, disease
may be suspected, or at least ten
derness, which is a precursor of
disease, if the lmr.se stands with
his feet apart or straddles with
the hind legs, there is weakness
in the loins ond the kidneys are
deranged. Heavy pulling b-jnds
the knees. Bluish or milky cast
eyes in horses indicate moon blind
ness or something else. A bad
tempered horse keeps his ears
thrown back. A kicking horse is
apt to have scarred knees. A
stumbling horse has blemished
knees. When the skiu is rough
and hard, and does uot move eas
ily and smoothly to the touch, the
horse is a heavy cater and his di
gestion is bad. Never ouy a horse
whoso respiratory orgaus are at
allimpaired. Placoyourear at the
side ol the heart, and if a wheez
ing is heard, it is an indication of
trouble let him go.

The Old Time Hume Remedies.
' "Grandmother's way of curing
a cold seems to have been forgot
ten," said a physician who had
attended hundreds of throat cas
es. "The idea in colds and sore
throat is to keep the throat lubri
cated. Onion syrup was the
standard remedy for hoarseness,
and for severe croup the dear
ladies gave us a mixture cf vine
gar, butter and honey, until we
wereeickat the stomach then
the cure effected itself.
Vinegar, pepper and salt was
the standard remedy for sore
throat, with plenty of pepper.
Then there was the stocking
about the neck, and the wet towel
cure never known to fail. The
unctuous camphor and lard, well
rubbed in wasastar.durd remedy.
Just a case of kuepiog the fauces
well oiled, and many a doctor's
bill saved There's no reason
why a child should d ie of croup
An application of camphor and
lard or oil to throat and chest w ill
check the most threaten ingsy tup-turns.
All old-time cough syruj)s bind
the bowels, i'hia is wrong. A
new idea wus advanced twoyears
ago in K nnedy's Laalive Honey
and Tar. This retuoJy acts on
the mucous membranes of the
throat and lungs and loosens the
bowels at the same time. It ex
pels all cold from the system. It
clears the throat, strengthens the
oiucoun membrane, relieves
coughs, colds, oroup, whooping
cough, etc. Sold by Stooteatrle
