Last year says an exchange,hunters thought they saw many quail, but when the season opens this fall they will find that the 1898 crop is much larger.

Given mild winters and the I quail are as hard to wipe off the face of the earth as the English sparrow. Ten Hillion Wheelman.

A a man who has lately been in eastern Michigan says apples are plenty and cheap there. If so, it is the only place except northern Texas that has any to keep or ship. The majority of orchards in this country are old and have been cted until the fruit they bear is limited in quantity and poor in quality nearly every year, however favorable the season may be. Before the young trees now growing come to bearing, good apples will not be plenty here. Chronic Diarrhoea Cured. This is to certify that I have had chronic diarrhoea every since the war.

In speaking how to protect the game fish in Indiana streams and get rid of the German carp, Judge Elliott of Marion county, says: "The onlyway to get rid of the carp is to permit seining at certain times of the year. Let the law state the time and when it may be done, and between seasons, cornpell all owners of seines to deposit them with a fish warden or some one authorized to take care of them. Seining will remove very few of the game fish. The law ought also to make dynamiting of streams a penitentiary offense.” Millions Given Away.

Sacrificed to Blood Poison. Those who have never had Blood Poison can not know what a desperate condition it can produce. This terrible disease which the doctors are totally unable, to cure, is communicated from one generation to another, inflicting its taint upon countless innocent ones. Some years ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood taint. The little one was unequal to the struggle, and its life was yielded up to the fearful poison. yyjwk For six long years 1 suf- i lErijMr sered untold misery. 1 was covered with sores and ulcers from head to |* k As foot, and no language can express my feelings ifc""* of woe during those long aS years. I had the best medical treatment. Several physicians succcs ' sively treated me, but all to no purpose. The mercury and potash seemed to add fuel to the awful ilame which was devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. We got two bottles, and I felt hope again revive in my breast—hope for health and happiness again. I improved from the start, and a complete and perfect cure was the result. S. S. 8. is the only blood remedy which reaches desperate cases. Mrs. T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala. Os the many blood remedies, S. S. S. is the only one which can reach deepseated, violent cases. It never fails to cure perfectly • and permanently the most desperate cases which are beyond the reach of other remedies. SAS'S. Blood is purely vegetable, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no mercury, potash, or other mineral. Valuable books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia,
