I Want DIFFICULT Eye Cases. All I Ask is That YOU Investigate at My Expense My Knifeless Method Which Has Cured So Many Cases After Others Have Failed. DONT GO BLIND-VISION IS TOO PRECIOUS. I wan* to meet with, or hear from every man, woman or child afflicted with diseases of the eye. I don't care who tfae person is or what their eye trouble may be, I will be able to convince them ABSOLUTBLY EREE that my painless treatment will do more for them than any other method known to the profession. By this 1 do not mean there are not some isolated cases that cannot be cured, but I do mean to say emphatically that many / and many difficult cases which have been termed i< curable by others have been permanently cured by my Absorption treatment. One of the things that lam proud of is in the uninterrupted “ UEfe < successful career covering many wj// years, I have eliminated the neti/ySE/x 's//,//,/, cessity of using the dangerous and > , SL%zZ<Z// painful knife on the delicate eye, vf/f//// and there is hardly a day passes |'/////// but what J make cures where oth(YxZ'Z/ZZ 4 I KZZZZZ/ ers have advised that only an oper'Ufs/f/l// l Iz/z// / , ation would bring relief.

Wintermute, 121 Second AMERICA'S MASTER OCULIST. St, Jackson, Mich., under date of (COPYRIGHTED) October 18, 19Gfi, Writes: “After having been repeatedly told tnnt there was no cure for my cataracts except an operation, to-day my eyes are perfect by means of your knifeless home treatment. I have regained my vision in six months. ’ Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Grand Detour, Hi., in a recent letter said, in part: “I deem it a pleasure, as well as a duty to mankind, to certify to the benefits received from using your home absorption treatment for cataracts. Mrs. Johnson was treated by many physicians. YOU CURED HER.” I personally devote my entire time and study to the Eye, and I assure my patiehts prospective patients my personal attention, even to the smallest details. No matter what Sou are suffering from—whether from Cataract, Inflammation. Pannus, Ptosis, Optic erve Trouble, or in fact any affliction of the vision—l can successfully treat you. I guarantee a perfect, permanent cure for Cross Eyes, whether it be internal or external strabismus, without the use of the knife, with absolutely no risk, pain or inconvenience, without confining my patient to a dark room for a moment, or without the use of a single bandage. VISION IN LIFE—BLINDNESS IN OBLIVION. If you value your eyesight, no matter what your disease, no matter what your thought, investigate. It is not going to cost you any money to prove to your entire satisfaction that my treatment is all I claim for it, for all I ask of you is to send me your name and address, no matter where you live, and 1 will send you FREE an 80-page booklet, illustrated in colors, which is a classic on diseases of the eye. I will tell you who I am, what I have accomplished, and will tell you in detail of the more common troubles, their causes, their effects and their cure. Also < ther things of value to you. This is all for the mere asking. Can you afford to delay ? Write me today and relieve your mind. My office hours are from 10:00 a. m. until 5 KX) p. m; Sundays, from 9 flO a. m. to 11:00 a m. only. Special appointment, however, can be made by letter or wire. -> P. C. MADISON, M. D. SSMSK

HINTS FOR FARMERS

The Cotswold Sheep. The Cotswolds are large, hardy and prolific sheep, and the ewes are good mothers. They furnish a valuable combing wool, and the average of fleeces Is from seven to eight pounds. Selected flocks produce considerably more wool. x The wethers, fattened at fourteen months old, In England weigh from fifteen to twenty-four pounds per quarter and at two years old from twenty to thirty pounds per quarter. They very frequently are made to weigh considerably more in this country. Their mutton is superior to that of the Leicesters, the fat being less abundant and better mixed with lean meat. They are much used in crossing other breeds and varieties. They Impart more hardiness with stronger constitutions and better qualities as breeders to the Leicesters and thicken them in the hind quarters. They give size, longer wool and more wool to some of the short wool families. They arb decidedly favored sheep with th.e breeders of the United States.

General Purpose Hone. The general purpose farm horse Is one that can be well utilized in ordinary farm work of all kinds and can also do the limited amount of road work needed in connection with the working of the medium sized or small farm, says a correspondent of Farm Progress. A horse called a “chunk” in market, standing fifteen to sixteen hands high, weighing from 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, compactly built, with good feet and legs, a tractable, lively disposition, a good, clean, rapid way of going at walk or trot. is. In brief, the kind of horse that I would call a general purpose horse. This kind of horse has a place on farms and, we may say, is the most valuable class so far as farm work is concerned. You will note that be partakes of the qualities of both the draft and coach or heavy roadster types in both his conformation and disposition. Build a Tool House. Every farmer needs a good tool house. It should be so convenient of access that there need be no excuse for leaving farm Implements exposed to the weather when not in use. Properly eared for, many implements that now last only a few years ought to be serviceable as long as the farmer lives to need them. Besides, a tool that has not been rusted, wanted and cracked by exposure will work as well the second and third year of use as the first On many farms the tools are so much Injured by beiug left out of doors that after the first season they cost more for repairs than they save in labor. Needs of Sheep. Salt Is cheap. Give them an abundant supply by keeping it in boxes in some convenient place where they can have free access to It By adding a small portion of finely powdered sulphate of iron with the salt the flock will be benefited as regards health and warding off disease. Let the sheep have an abundant supply of pure water at all times, for nothing la more beneficial when they are housed and being fed ou dry feed. By a lack of it the whole flock Is often Infected by disease and a heavy loss the result Swine Nofee. Feed Influences the size of the litter. Variety in feed, and especially plenty of forage, or green stuff, will increase Its size. An overration of dry food will make it smaller and weak. A pile of cobs burned and then sprinkled with salt makes a nice appetizer for hogs. Pigs may try to become a little too familiar, but that is a good failing. It is better to have them too tame than so wild they cannot be handled. Care of Sheep In Winter. No feed is better for sheep than sheaf oats and turnips, says a Missouri farmer in the St. Louis Republic. They seem to fill all the requirements of the animal, so far as roughness, grain and vegetables are concerned. But whether fed on grain or vegetables the floors and troughs should be kept clean, and all hay, straw or fodder should be fed in mangers or racks, as feeding it on the ground Is extravagant, wasteful and filthy. Pumpkina For Lambs. Pumpkins are good feed for lambs In early winter, especially when they are troubled with paper skin, caused by worms in the intestines. They will eat them if they are sliced or cut a»d sprinkled with salt, but it is better tfl provide flat bottomed troughs with compartments, each being large enough to receive the half of a pumpkin cut in such fashion as to have the pieces He flat, with the inside uppermost. Feedin* Pl*s. Whatever variety or type of hog is selected with which to operate, the early and rapid feeding method is by far the most economical and profitable. During the first months of a pig’s life growth and Increased weight can be made cheaper, or with less feed, than at any time later on In life. Ferdin* the Pigs. Pigs will begin to eat with the sows when two or three weeks old. If getting plenty of exercise it will not hurt them to crack a little corn. But the ideas feed Is skim milk and shorts in the form of a thin slop. It 'will make them grow and not get overfat. AdvMtutti of Dairying. While dairying has its dloadvantages, it has this great advantage—that it enables the fanner to utilize to an unusual extent the cheaper labor on the farm and to make the most" possible out of a small tract of land.

FOR THE CHILDREN

The Floatin* Needle. An interesting experiment may be performed with quite a small magnet and a common sewing needle. Insert a light thread in a needle, tie and cut off one end, leaving a single thread six or eight inches long. Lay a horseshoe magnet on a table, with the poles in front. Magnetize the needle by rubbing it several times, always in one direction, by one pole of the magnet, after each stroke returning the magnet in an arc through the air. Take the end of the thread between the thumb and Huger and suspend ths needle over Its attractive pole, allowing the point to come within one-fourth of an inch of the magnet; then with a circular sweep of the hand to keep the point in position, draw the eye of the needle down toward the other pole. T-hls If carefully done will bring the needle to a horizontal position, where it will remain, floating or in suspension, as long as the thread is held steady. The experiment may be made more effective, suggests the People’s Home Journal, by covering the magnet with a sheet of paper, thus concealing it

The Origin of Gems. It is a singular fact that the most precious gems are composed of the most common substances. The diamond is the purest form of carbon and is identical in composition with ordinary charcoal, without its impurities. The ruby is nearly pure alumina, a substance that Is found in profusion in every clay bank. The scientific name for crystallized alumina is corundum, and the gems that come under this designation are sometimes more valuable than diamonds of the same weight. The ruby, the sapphire, the oriental emerald, the oriental topaz, the oriental amethyst, the oriental aquamarine, the oriental chrysolite, the hyacinth and other precious stones are all alumina, the varieties of color being caused by nfinute quantities of metallic oxides. It should be explained that the word “oriental” as applied to these stones does not refer to the east, but means something fine.—Chicago News.

A Remarkable Tree. We are all familiar with the Brazil or cream nut as we see it in the stores. The nut in its own country is of a very different appearance, and the tree on which It grows is so unusual that the Brazil nut tree is regarded as one of the most curious in the world. It grows to the height of from fifty to eighty feet and is one of the most majestic ornaments of the forest. The fruit resembles a cocoanut, being extremely hard and of the size of a child’s head. Each one of these shells contains from twelve to twenty of the three cornered nuts. To obtain the nuts as they appear In market these shells have to be opened. During the season of their falling it is dangerous to enter the groves, as the force of their descent Is sufficient to knock down the strongest man. The natives provide themselves with wooden bucklers, which they hold over their heads while collecting the fruit The Bottled Esg. To make this entertaining experiment you need a hard boiled egg and a bottle or flask with a wide body and a neck large enough to let the egg sit tightly and snugly on its month, end down. Peel the egg and lay it aside. Then roll up some paper into a shape so that it will burn readily, set It on Are and place It in the bottle. As soon as It has burned itself out place the egg firmly on the mouth of the flask, pressing it on Just hard enough so that it will close the opening entirely. Before many minutes the egg will begin to stretch Itself. It will seem to crawl Into the bottle. More and more of it descends till suddenly, with a pop, the whole egg lengthens Itself out and slides into the bottle. Conundrums. Why is a historical event like a parcel untied and tied again? Because It is recorded. Why do doctors keep bad company? Because the worse people are the oftener they visit them. What houses are the easiest to break Into? The houses of bald people, because their locks are few. Why does an aching tooth impose silence on the sufferer? Because it makes him hold his Jaw. The Speed of a Snail. A snaij’s rate of travel was ascertained by experiments in Florence. Half a dozen snails were permitted to crawl between two points ten feet apart. Exact time was kept from the start to the finish, and thus the average pace was learned. The figures were then put into tables of feet, yards and furlongs, and It was found that it would take a snail exactly fourteen days to travel a mile. Queer Beetles. Remarkable gold lieetles are found in Central America. The head and wing cases are brilliantly polished with a luster as of gold Itself. To sight and touch they have all the appearance of that metal. Oddly enough, another species from the same region looks like solid silver freshly burnished. A Riddle. J When first my maker formed me in his mind He gave me eyes, yet left me dark and blind; He made a nose, yet left me without smell; A mouth, but neither voice nor tongue to tell. Tm used at night, yet ladles oft through me. Although I hide the face, do plainly see. (Answer—A mask.)
