Th n too, many foods are about as useful in the -Stomach as a keg of nails would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach lefuses to do its work without the proper -Stimulus which it pets from the blood and Herves. The nerv s are weak and ‘‘ready to ht -nk,” b ■! V do n t get the nourishment they require from the blood. Knally the ill-u«ed brain is morbidly wide ■awake when the overworked man attempts to find rest in b* d. The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to the Bust man the full eni’oyment of life and healthy digestion when te takes Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The ” Pellets ” are tiny sugar-coated pills made of highly concentrated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of all offending matters easily and thoroughly. They need only be taken for a short time to cure the biliousness, constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of the liver; then the ”Medical Discovery” should be taken in teaspoonful doses to increase the blood and enrich it. It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure mood coursing through the body aud the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called cejery compounds and nerve mixtures do —but refreshed and fed on the food they need for health. If you suffer from indigestion. dyspepsia, nervousness, and any of the ills which come from impure blood aud disordered .stomach, you can cure Yourself with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained at any drug store in the country.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS; ft FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. Rake for Clearing Off the Corn Stubble Neat Defeign for an Ice House— Fifty-five Experiment Stations in the United States. Clearing the Corn Stnbble. The neat fanner who loves to see his Helds clean anil free from trash that is unsightly (and it may be said that whatever is thus disagreeable is equally undesirable lu other ways) always objects to the appearance of the cut rorn stubs in the land in which the oats ire sown as the first of the spring crops. They are not only unpleasant to look it, but they are In the way of good culture of the land. The illustration, from the American Agriculturist, shows in implement for gathering this rubbish and getting rid of it so as to turn i - 1 j KAKE FOR CLEARISO COHN STUBBLE. It to immediate good use. A bar of strong oak timber six Inches wide and three thick has a tongue fitted into it In the usual way. and is furnished with i number of curved teeth made of halfinch steel bar. The teeth are sharpened so that they take fast hold of the stubs below the surface of the ground and tear them out, and also gather them as they pull them out of the soil. As a load is collected, the rake is lifted by a pair of handles fastened to the bar. The bar may be made as long or short as may be thought proper. Farming at the Stations. From the Kansas State Board of Agriculture comes a very important and exhaustive summary of the methods and ways of feeding wheat aud low-priced grains to animals. At a time when many farmers are feeding wheat, and others considering the advisability of doing the same, this report is of special value. The report covers detailed experiences of farmers all over the country, and the conclusion is that farmers are justified in feeding their animals wheat when so cheap, and that despite some unfavorable reports the practice as a general thing is wise. In many localities it is the only profitable disposition of the low-priced grain this year that can be made, and when wisely and intelligently fed it makes money for the farmer. All reserves of low-priced grain should be thus disposed of rather than sending it to market at a positive loss, which is frequently the case. From abroad come the reported results of experiments with sugar beets that should be of value to those engagaged in this industry in this country. At the Halle Experiment Station, where everything relating to beet sugar cultivation is carefully studied, it has been demonstrated In recent experiments that kainet tends to in■rease the sugar contents of the beets, while nitrate of soda has the opposite effect of redueng the amount It is said that the beets get sufficient soda from the kainet, and the potash which they especially need is then readily absorbed.—Germantown Telegraph. Mandarin Ducks. These are among the most beautiful domestic aquatic fowls aud as the name indicates they are of Chinese origin. They are very highly prized on account of the beauty of their plumage and numerous good qualities. A few have been domesticated and kept as pets. Like all other flying ducks, it has a small body and its feathers are of many colors. The crest of the drake droops on the neck, but he has power to raise it at will. The sides of the head are of a whitish corn or canary color and the under feathers around the neck OG Wj - PAIR OF MANDARIN DUCKS. of a rich chestnut The breast is light | red, the back a light brown and the uui ler part white. The fau feathers of the I wings are chestnut with brilliant green I tips and four bands over the shoulder black and white. The bill is crimson and the legs pink. The female is a strong constrast to the male and is half gray and brown. These ducks are easily tamed, aud though the males are sometimes quarrelsome when first con fined, they soon accept the situation. When to Sell. A potato grower of long experience, discussing the question of whether it was better to sell or bold the crop says: “My opinion is that it is undoubtedly best to sell at 50c per bushel at digging time, even if one were assured of double the price four months after storing. Handling, shrinkage and decay in four months usually reduce the amount stored about one-third, and I have never found out when to market a well-grown crop.” A Look Ahead. The windmill and the brook water wheel are yet to be harnessed for electricity, and the grain threshed, the wood sawed, feed cut, water pumped, house

lighted and heated without extra cost The water power on or near every farm will transmit Its force over a wire to every field and building, and will save untold labor. Experiment Stations. There are, not Including brandies, fifty-four experiment stations In the United States, forty-nine of which receive tile Federal appropriation. In 1893 the stations received >950,073, of which $705,000 came from the National Government the remainder from State governments, private individuals, fees for fertilizing analyses, sales of farm products, and other sources. In addition, the office of experiment stations at Washington has an appropriation of $25,000. There were 532 persons employed. 29S bulletins issued, and forty-eight annual reports. The act of Congress making appropriations for the stations for the year ending June 30, 1895, provided for the first time for the supervision of the station expenditures by United States authorities. Administration of the funds is left, as before, to State authorities, but a statement of how they are expcndc. must be made to the Federal officers. Hedge Fences as Windbreakers, Land is much cheaper in this country than in Europe. Almost everywhere the outcry against hedge fences Is that they cost too much to trim, and that they waste too much land. This depends largely on how the hedge is managed. A hedge allowed to grow at will may well exhaust the soil of moisture at least for a considerable distance either side of It. But if kept closely pruned every year the hedge roots will not extend far. Besides, a close hedge breaks the force of winds aud holds the snow from blowing. This makes the soil where the snow has been moister than it would otherwise be. Storms and winds are more violent In this country than they usually are in Europe. The hedge fence is an Important protection against the blowing away of rich surface soil wherever the soil is light. It may even pay as a windbreak in locations where It is not needed to restrain stock from injuring the crops. Design for an Ice House. Many small farm ice houses have to stand out by themselves, and are thus exposed to the full effect of the sun’s rays. These falling directly upon the roof cause a good deal of heat to be generated within, to the consequent loss of ice. The illustration shows an fee house with two roofs, with an air space between, which will very greatly obviate Oils trouble. Such an extra roof can easily be placed upon a small building, to the saving of no small amount of 4M ' - F w— *—- ICE HOUSE.

ice during the heat of summer. Every farm should be equipped with a wellfilled Ice house, for ice is a necessity, not a luxury. There are many new ideas in harvesting, storing and using lee nowadays. Look to the Quality. That quality adds more to the profit than prices may be demonstrated almost every day by a visit to the market. Recently a lot cf cattle averaging over 1,500 pounds each sold for $6.10 per 100 pounds, or 2c per pound more than the regular prices in Chicago, equivalent to S3O gain on each steer, as well as the advantage derived from the heavy-weights. Notes. Farmer Gibson, near Avona, Pa., has raised a family of thirteen squashes on one vine, the smallest of which weighed 117 and the largest 141 LS pounds. The corn fodder should now be gotten out of the fields while the weather permits. Every day’s exposure deteriorates its quality and renders it less palatable to stock. Vicious cows should not be retained, as they are liable to do harm to the attendants or to the other members of the herd. They are at all times a source of danger. Tn 1889 Kentucky raised nearly onehalf of the tobacco grown in this country, the amount raised by that State being 283,306,(X0 pounds, on 323.409 acres, the product being valued at $21,247,000. The cost of production governs the profit and not the prices received. Extravagance in feeding, waste of valuable food, and the use of stock that does not produce above the average, are the obstacles which entail losses. Skimmed milk or buttermilk answers as well for young pigs as the whole milk, especially if ground oats and ground wheat are added to the milk, so as to make a thin mush. With warm quarters, such food will make the pigs grow rapidly. When the Japanese wish to send grapes to distant friends they pack them in boxes of arrowroot. Light and air are thus effectually shut out, and the delicate bloom is also preserved, even though the fruit has been transported thousands of miles. A mess of cooked turnips given once a day will be found excellent in increasing the growth of young animals. They do not contain any great proportion of nutrition, being mostly water, but they promote the appetite and serve a dietary purpose, being a change from the usual dry food.

Odd Phase* of Sunstroke. “A peculiar phase of sunstroke,” said one of Philadelphia's most e : inent physicians, ’ is that a sub ect does not succumb to the attack till some ho rs alter it occurs. The only explanation that ii eui al science can give is that a sunstroke consists in a disintegration of the blood corpuscles, uni considerable time elan es before the d sintegrated blood reaches the little nerve center in the brain which aets as a governor on the heat system of the body. The flow of blood finally paralyzes the heat center, and the heat runs riot, raising the tone erature of the body to a fearful height within a few minutes.” As an instance of heat prostrations the doctor cited the statistics of the British army in India, where the great majority of sunstrokes take effect between . and 9 o'clock in tae evening. I’hi.adelphia Record. Fatal Scratch of a Rose Thorn. Mrs. Mary Hannon died recently at the home of her son, . ohn Bannon, alxiut fourteen mil s north of . evada, from the scratch of a rose thorn, bhe was 92 years and t> months old. and was up to the time of her in ury in good health. She was working in her rose bed and scratched the back of her nger on the right band on a briar. The hand soon became swollen, which spread to the shoulder, aud the band and arm became di colored. She lingered in great agony from that ti.i e until her death. Mrs. Bannon lived out of any church up to about one year ago, when she united with the Christian Church. This fact created stv'h a sensation that the neighbors for miles around turned out to witness the immersion in Tucker Lake, near her home,—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Women in the World. A French scientist figures that the num' er of women in the world is nearly equal to that of men. In France the numbers approach more nearly to equality than in any other eoun ry, there being 1,007 women for i.OOJ m n. For 1,000 men in Swe en there are 1,0. 4 women, and im Give e only :33 women. In the French colony at Reunion there are 457 Creo.e women for 1.000 provisional Frenchmen colored meh included, in Hoagkoug there arc 1,000 men for 336 women.
