"My mother was troubled with
consumption for many years. At
last she was given up to die. Then
she tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
and was speedily cured."
D. P. Jolly, Avoca, N. Y.
I
No matter how hard
your cough or how long
you have had it, Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral is the
best thing you can take.
It's too risky to wait
until you have consump-
tion. If you are coughing
today, get a bo~tle of
Cherry Pectoral at once.
't'hree si|es: .25c., .Me., $1. All drunisis.
Consult your doctor. If he says take it,
then do as he says. If he tells you not
to take it, then don't take it. He knows.
~ve it with him. We are willing.

Polly Root's Metamorphosis,
There never was a surly girl 0nc hal! so sweet
as she
That httle malden of the ranch who played
the duece With me,
A Jolly, laughing, fnil of fun, mischievous
pranky girl,
The Jewel of the Membres range, a fair un-
polished pearl,
Her ripping laughter revelled up the bosom
of the breeze,
Her song sent silvery shivers through the
whiskers of the trees,
And every bird that heard her noise notes
with Jealosy grew mute
And wished the asthama would attaek the
throat of Polly Root.
Her eyes were bright and piercing as the optic
of the skunk~
In their intoxicating light my soul went on a
drunk,
The sunlight loved to nestle In the meshes of
her hair,
The Junebugs loved to e~awl across her feet,
so brown and bare.
No untamed broncho on the range could give
the maid the shake,
And riding at full gallop she could rope a rat-
tlesnake,
And when itcame to sizooting no~ a shooter
shot a shoot
Sodeadly as tire shoots she shot that keen
eyed Polly Root.
At every daace sweet Polly Root was there
with both her feet,
And as a wall flower you can net she never
warmed a seat,
For every cowboy on the range was keen to
get the chance,
To tangle up their feet with hers and swing
her in the dance,
"All balance heifers to 3er stager' the fiddler
he would roar,
And Polly's pounding feet would raise big
blisters on the floor~

Many physicians are now prescribing
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure regularly having
found that it is the best prescription
they can write because it is the one prep-
aration which contains the elements nec-
essary to digest not only some kinds of
food but all kinds and it therefore cures
indigestion and dyspepsia no matter
what its cause. Seguache Pharmacy.

Gee. W. Lane, Pewamo, Mich. writes:
"Your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best
remedy for indigestion and stomach
trouble that I ever used. For years I
suffered from dyspepsia, at times com-
pelling me to stay in bed and causing

indigestion I always offer to pay for it if
it fails. Thus far I have never paid." Sa-

We are pleased to learn that George
D. Nickle is taging out some good ore
in the old workings in the Esperanza
mine at Biedell. The Esperanza is a pc-
that section of the country.
The case was styled the people vs Har-
rison Hies and Herman Huddler, upon.
the charge of killing and stealing a fine
six-months old bull calf on August 29
last. The skeleton of this young mem-
ber of the bovine famiiy, owned by Bar-
nett Bro. was discovered but a few days
ago hidden in a clump of bushes on the
range several miles from Poncha by
Sheldon Blanchard, and according to the
testimony at the prehminary hearing in
Jud~ Eubanks' court the meat had
been taken from the body in a manner
most m),~,h riv,
Suspicio-~ at once pointed to Messrs.
Hice and Huddler and they were ar-
raigned to show cause[or the appearance
of calf flesh found in their cabin. The
testimony at this hearing was strongly
against them and they were held to ap-
pear at the next term of district court in
the sum of $800 each.
Persons who claim to know inside facts
in the case preferred against these gen-
tlemen say that the meat found in their
cabin was a mountain sheep which Mr,
Hice testifies to killing and for which he
will pay the penalty.

The Prevalence of Foxtail.
Wild barley, [oxtail or squirrel tail
grass is rapidly becoming one of the
worst weeds in the irrigated portions of
Colorado. It has a wonderful capacity
for stooling, each spike containin~ from
thirty-five to sixty seeds, a single plant
having as many as for~y or more spikes.
A single cluster of plants may mature
from[lye hundred to three thousand
seeds. Originally the plant secured on.ly
in saline or alkali soil, hence its favorite
starting place in a pasture is along a
ditch, in a soaked meadow or at the edge
of aslough or swamp where alkali is
more or less abundant, but itseems to be
able to locate and survive in almost any
prairie soil.
In nutritive elements the plant before
blooming compares favorably with tim-
othy, red clover and bhte stem. Its fault
lies in that it roots out grasses in a whole
field that are better and that the awns
are exceedingly injurious to feeding ani-
mals. This grass when found in hsy and
allowed to ripen, if in any quantity, is
very injurious• The small awns seem to
work into the jaws of animals and cause
deep ulcerating sores which form under
the tongue and lips. We have seen a
large number of animals affected and by
examination have found the awns imbed-
ded deep into the flesh, where they had
remained for three months or more.
We have seen lips completely eaten
through and tongues eaten almost off by
the spiculm of the grass. The awned
heads break up when taken into the
mouth, stick to the mucous membrane,
then pierce it. More awns are added and
those already present are pushed deep
into the flesh• Ulcerations of the jaw-
bones and teeth result and what is sup-
posed to be lumpy jaw sometimes occurs.
Horses suffer fully as much as cattle,and
sheep worse, as the awns are caught in
the Wool about the eyes, sometimes iv
the eyeball itself and thus may cause to-
tal blindness. Another fault with [oxtail
is that it is quite likely to spread the
various kinds of rust injurious to stock.
This is a sufficiently heavy indictment
of this plant to induce every farmer to
regard it as his enemy.~Field and Farm.
Sid Darling, 1012 Howard st, Port Hu-
ron, Mich• writes: "I have tried many
pills and laxatives but DeWitt's Little
Early Risers are far the best pills I have
ever used." They never gripe. Sa-

The varieties of grass that possess the
property of curing on the ground are in-
jured but little if any by frost, These
~rasses are at their heat during the late
summer and early autumn months, after
the curing has taken place. Stockmen
on the range always figure on getting
their best gains during this season. As
we all know, the range grasses when
green and luxuriant in the early part of
the grazing season do not fatten stock so
well as after they become dry and cured.
The feeding value of the cured grass is
always injured by heavy or continuous
rains, such as we have been having the
past month, but it is still not too late for
the presen¢ growth to cure in good con-
dition. A comparatively dry autum is
most favorable for grazing on the range.

suffered 25 years with pdes and could
obtain no relief until DeWitt's Witch

We can grow tomatoes in Saguaohe,
and they will ripen, too. Jason Jaques
has been bringing them into town the
past week and they were flue ones. Of
course the plants must b.e set out early
and carefully guarded until the spring
frosts are over, but they yield well and
i cnliar property in one respect, it being city appeared for the prosecution and the price they bring will pay for the
