FARM AND GARDEN. FOR THE CORN FIELD. A Itaady Farm Wagon an«l Reliable Harvester t'umblned. The handy wagon, showii herewith, i use fuiiy as much as 1 do my ordinary farm wagon. To build it 1 used six hard pine planks, a. 12 inches w ide and ; inches thick. The two middle ] planks, a-1 and a-2, are 17 feet long, j the outside planks, a a a a, two on each j tide, are 14 feet. They are bolted together with a two by six piece, b, on top ! it each end, with five-sixteen iuch bolts, j At the front end of the two middle blanks on the under side I put an oil! wagon rocker iron plate, g; on the up- ■ per side a piece of two by six, c, d, bolt- j Uuvugh the old rocker plate; bore s hole for km^oiL About 4 >4 /eet from the bind end, bein'** with three- j eighths-inch bolts a piece of four by ilx hard pine, c, eight feet long for the { hind axle. For wheels 1 bought two . aid mowers, took them apart, had the kxles cut in t\\o and bolted with clips j to the under side of each axle, letting them into rhe wood cre-hrdf cf their i thickness. The front axle is four feet j two inches long with a hole io center j for a kingbolt which has a head on lower end and a hole for a pin in the upper end. The front end of the platform eau be raised or lowered by using washers on top of front axle. A one-half inch Iron rod with loo|»s in each end, one eud ou the kingbolt, the other .bolted on! top of platform, is to pull by. The front, etui has to be kept up to underside of front axle to keep from bendiug the kingbolt. The tongue is framed into a cross-piece three feet long and braced with iron braces. The tongue is fastened to front axle by eye bolts. Oil the tongue just back of evener is bolted an old mower spring with seat so that a man in the seat will nearly balance the tongue. I se the evener for a foot rest. We r.se it to cut nil of. our t orn fwr fodder by bolting a knife on the under side of near front corner, as sh wn.at b. The knife is made by welding together two old Ifi-inch steel plow {joints laid fiat side up. The back end is stayed by a piece < : heavy old wagon tire bolted to under sole cf plat form w ith another in the inol.de. Fa-Un a stout board to the under side of hind axle, the front end to fit the back knife. Fasten with a bolt to the stay of- th< knife. The back end of knife should be a little a higher than the front end. Raise or

We jut a row of averupe corn, about GO rods, in ten to twelve minutes. Drive to the stackyard and rick it; we do not •hock it.

A Kansas Man Given the Results of Ills Kipe^leace. The Rural World has on many occasions said that an acre of water devoted j to tish culture would bring much larger returns than if devoted to general farming. Mr. Lyons, of Kansas, has been raising fish and has ponds devoted to them, as well as furnishing' ice for win- ; ter. Many of the fish live on crawfish and other natural food about the ponds. ] But that is not sufficient to supply the vast number there now. Mr. Lyons feeds them corn. He grinds it by steam power and then steams the meal. Five bushels of th s ground steamed corut* a feed for each of the two principal ponds, tin it the fish thrive, and there* are now many there* that will weigh as much as or 35 pounds. Mr. Lyons watches them as one would u here! of cattle, is as careful about them a« the most par- i ticular stockman. He studied their nature and knows what to do with them under varying circumstances. He works with them day and night, whenever they need attention. A careful estimate of the supply there now, made by i experienced uieu, puts it at 50 tons, making them worth cktse to $10,000. I The work on the ponds and dams has made them worth an easy $5,000, inak- j ing a valuable plan! of it. The income fiom the fish would pay a very large rate of interest on $5,000 for \ ear* t« j rotate.

Prodncl of foof I'aralag. We generally think that the wide- j iwake and up-to-date farmer hae the 1 advantage in everything. He generally j has, but the old saying that no rules* without its exception bolds good here ' The farmer who keeps the best hogs cannot grow a good quality pf bristle* If he has one of the hairy breeds that show strong vitality the bristles from a two or three-year-old boar may b« worth keeping as bristles. But they will be far inferior to bristles from the wild hog as it ranges the forests ol continental Europe. The best brands of bristles have always come, and probably. will continue to do so, from Rusaia. They are very stiff, and not even the bristles from the wild hog as it runs in southern woods are as good. Probably our southern wild pigs are mostly killed before they have attained age enough to have their bristles manure.—American Cultivator.

A HELPLESS FARMER. William Stlmpsoa Stricken wHk Paralysis at Hla Lower Limbs —Caused by Overwork. From the New Era. Greensburg, Ind. Many of our readers may remember an item iu this paper a year ago last fall whieh stated that Mr. William Stimpson, a well-to-do farmer, living near Rugby. Ind.. had been stricken with paralysis of the lower limbs, and his recovery was doubtful. The case which was an unusually severe and complicated one has at last been entirely cured, to the utmost surprise and joy of Mr. Stimpson and his family. XI r. Stimpson was pleased to relate to a rejH>rter the particulars regarding his case, and his subsequent recovery. “A year ago last fall,*’ began MrfStimpson, ‘rf did jj large amount of work. My hired help left rXe in thy m-^’e ^ ting and I finished the tuTT work my»?i5. doing an unusual large amount of work. I put up several hundred shocks of fodder, and also husked all my corn. To accom plish this 1 had to work earlv and !?te. *‘4dK«!t ibe «rtt of Ihxuoitvr. ag I was getting my fall work about done, I raftered a stroke of paralysis, which the physician KLM Ttes brought on by excessive labor. My left limb was entirely helpless and my right ftmb was fast becoming so. My phy* Sit-in became uneasy, and after attending upon me for a week or so. he brought me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, saying that he believed they would do me more good than anything which he knew of, as he had used them with great success in a case very similar to mine waere all other remedies had failed. The case in question was that of L. Phillips, of Petersvtlle. “Aboi# the time I began taking the second tK>x of these pills a decided change was noticed, and when I had taken two more boxes we discovered that 1 wa# actually getting well. You can probably imagine what a relief and feeling of gladness this was to me, after being confined to my bed for ne.*.r!\ two mouth-*. We!!, 1 kept on t.ik ing the pills according to direc tions, until I oosumed nine boxes- of them, which completely cured me. "I am s-*mid and well to-day, with not a sign of the returning affliction and can affirm that Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills for l’a ■ People d 1 me a wonderful pood and probably saved me from the grave. To allay all doubt as to the truth of his statement. Mr. Mi" :- n made out the following sworn a.fh davit: ItroiiY, Ixti .

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS. It is said that the lS-cent stamp of Seychelles, issued some months ago. is now being printed in two color', and speculators are already at work booming the price of the old stamp. The high values of the 1SSD issue of Uruguay are also reported to be in line of a material advance in price. It costs the United States more than 1175,000 each year to pay for the production of three and a half billion stamps. The ordinary stamps cost five cents per 1.0C0. Special delivery stamps cost 11 4-10 cents per 1,000. Newspaper and periodical stamps cost 11 4-10 cents per 1,QC0, and postage due stamps G 1-20 cents per 1,000. Postal cards cost the government 32.S7 cents per thousand. ,l‘he collector \?bQ isin search of minor varieties will find d very goc‘| field for study in the 15-cent stamp of 1SG0. There are many differences to be found in the periods after U in “Li* S.,” four varieties haying been discovered thus far. One variety shows a single period after the U., a second has two periods, a third three periods and a fourth a colon.

i ne Merman post ouictr uejwriuscui has decided to introduce, experimentally. automatic stamp-selling machines. These machines were exhibited at the Berlin industrial exhibition last year, j They will be placed at prominent points 1 where the demands for stamps are the i largest, and operate, on the deposit in j the slot of the proper coin, to furnish the purchaser with the stamps desired. The newspapers of New Zealand are printing many paragraphs on the fact j that the new governor of the colony < is an ardent philatelist.

is the name to remember when buying Sarsaparilla. Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has been curing people right along for nearly 50 years. That’s why it is acknowledged to be the sovereign Sarsaparilla. It is the original and the standard. The record of the remedy is without a rival*—a record that is written in the blood of thousands, purified by its healing power. c “I nursed a lady who was suffering from Wood poisoning and most have contracted the disease from her; for I had four large sores, or ulcers, break out on my person. I doctored for a long time, both by external application and with various blood medicines; but in spite of all that I could do, the sores would not heal. At last I purchased six bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, thinking I would give it a thorough trial. Before the six bottles had been taken, the ulcers were healed, the skin sound and natural, and ray health better tl i it had been for years. I have been well ever since. I had rather have one bottle of Dr. J. C. Ayer's Sarsaparilla than three of any other kind.**—Mrs. A. F. Taylok, Engievale, N. Dak. Get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
