FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her Family by Dr. ' Williams' Pink Pills. When the Llood is impoverished the nerves starve and neuralgia or something more serious swiftly follows. Nervous people are generally pale people. By supplying through the blood those vital elements that the nerves need, Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have performed those remarkable cures that

make it impossible for any nervous suf- ! ferer to neglect them. A recent care is that of Mrs. Peter 3uorrissette, of No. 315 Eleventh street, Alpena, Mich., "who "writes as follows : My trouble started with childbirth. After one of my children was born I had a kind of paralysis. I was very weak and my mouth was a little crooked. I was alwajs tired and was so nervous ihat I could not bear to hear a dog bark or a bell ring ven the little bird in its cage would annoy me. My heart fluttered a great deal and I had dizzy spells. I was not able to be loft alone. "My doctor gave mo different kinds of medicine, changing it several times. When, it was evident that he could not help me he said he did not understand my case. This was three years ago ani I was very much discouraged, when my brother, who had taken Dr. Williams Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I tried them and noticed a change for the better when I was taking the second box. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I have been well ever 6ince. I now do all ray own housework, sewing aud washing for seven of us." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have also cured diseases caused by impure or impoverished blood such as rheumatism, tmaomiaand after-effects of the grip.

CURES SICK-HEADACHE Tablets and powders advertised as cures for sick-headache are generally harmful and they do not cure but only deaden the pain by patting the nerves to sleep for a short time through the use of morphine or cocaine. Lane's Family Medicine the tonic-laxative, cures sick-headache, not merely stops it for an hour or two. It removes the cause of headache and keeps it away. Sold by all dealers at 25c and 50c.

Plays Knie of Medium. "Who's there?" shouted the venpant of a hotel bedroom, as he heard a noise in the corner of his room. There was no answer and the queer noise stopped. "Anybody there?" No answer. "It must have been a spirit," he said to himself; 4,I must be a medium. I will try." (Aloud.) "If there Is a spirit In the room it will signify the same by saying aye no. that's not what I mean. If there Is a spirit In the room it will please rap three times." Three very distinct raps were given In the direction of the bureau. "Is It the spirit of my sister?" Nc answer. "Is it the spirit of my mother-in law?" Three very distinct raps. "Are you happy?" Nine raps. "Do you want anything?" A niecession of very loud raps. "Will yon give me any communication If I get up?" No answer. "Shall I hear from you to-morrow? Kaps are very loud in the direction of the door. "Shall I ever see you?" He waited long for his answer, but none came and he turned over and fell asleep.. Next morning he found the "spirit' of his mother-in-law had carried off his watch and purse, his trousers and his great coat. Portland Oregonian. Sending: Photographs by Wire. In the Technical World Magazine Dr Alfred Gradenwitz describes the achievement of Trof. Arthur Korn of Munich, Bavaria, wbo has devised a practicable method for the electrical transmission, of photographs as distinguished from the mere handwriting and line sketches which can be sent by the telautograph. The first practical re. s-ults were secured in 1904; but later improvements, recently described be fore the Berlin Electrical Society, have enabled him to transmit photographs with remarkable definition over lines offering a resistance of fully 12,000 ohms the equivalent of a distance of several thousand miles, the time of transmission being 10 to 20 minutes and the size of the pictures 5 by 1 Inches.

He has Imported from Zurich a, great quantity of moth parasites, and with the help of the little creatures he and the people of Massachusetts hope to obliterate the moth completely. "Our work may succeed," said Mr. Kirkland recently, "or we may err somewhere, and It may fail. It must succeed if we make no mistakes but then, you know, mistakes are common. "Mistakes are common everywhere, I heard a lawyer and a doctor taunting one another this afternoon about them. "'You make a good many mistakes, I suppose, the lawyer said. "'You too, no doubt, said the doctor. "'But doctors' mistakes are often buried deep under ground,' said the lawyer. "'Yes, said the doctor, 'and. lawyers' mistakes often swing six feet In the air!" SKTTT EETJPTIONS 35 YEARS. Suffered Severely with Eczema All Over Body A Thousand Thanks to Cuticura Remedies. "For over thirty-five years I was a severe sufferer from eczema. The eruption was not confined to any one place. It was all over my body, limbs, and even on my head. I am sixty years old and an old soldier, and have been examined by the Government Board over fifteen times, and they said there was no cure for me. I have taken all kinds of medicine and have spent large sums of money for doctors, without avail. A.hort time ago I decided V) try the CuMcura Remedies, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of ' Cuticura Resolvent, two treatments in all, I am now well and completely cured. A thousand thanks to Cuticura. I cannot speak too highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John T. Roach, Richmondale, Ross Co., Ohio, July 17, 1903." The Next Step.

The very best butter is made from cream that Is ripened uniformly. Is your hired man cleanly in his person? If not, be is not fit to milk your cows: The ripeness of the cream has a great deal to do with the loss of fat In churning. ;ndlviduality Is more important than b?eed. The worst scrub is the purebred scrub. Keep the sheep pens well bedded which will conserve the manure and make capital use of the straw at the same time. It is better to Import stock than to export grain. Coarse grain should never leave the farm till reduced to the lowest possible terms. Weedy pastures are said to be appetizing for sheep; If true, there are portions of the northwest that would be veritable sanitariums for sheep. It requires a good bait these days to catch suckers. Patent rights, flimsy lightning rods, Bohemian oats and gold bricks have all lost their temptations and will not work any more. It never pay3 to go to law over the location of a partition fence. It is better to give a neighbor ?20 worth of land than to give $00 to a lawyer, and then in the long run sustain over $100 damage to a person's reputation. No animal of any breed will uniformly beget young that are all of superior excellence. Prudent swlnemen seem to realize this fact more than do any other kind of stock breeders and do not hesitate to use the knife accordingly. The fancier branch .of the poultry business Is all ri;ht for those who may be inclined to devote their energies In that direction ; and there is money and satisfaction in it If Intelligently and energetically followed. But, as a matter of fact,' the mtrket channel for both fowls and eggs Is the most reliable and all-round, satisfactory road to travel. Begonias of the Bex section do not die down In winter. They require to be kept in a warm room, and they must not have much water unless the room Is very warm, or they will rot The section of begonia to which Vernon belongs lie down. These will keep In a warm cellar all winter, but must not be kept damp. Leave them in the pots and give no water. It Is very evident that tenant fanning Is not Improving as fast as It should. The statistics show that the number of rented farms Is on the increase. That is not the worst feature of tenant fanning. As a rule but. very little is done to keep up the- fertility of the soil. The present system calls for the tenant getting all he can from the soil without putting anything back. If this system continues much longer there will le a great many fawais In the future that will be most difficult to build up. World's Stock of Horses. In a review of the world's horse supply Major J. Monroe of the British Army Veterinary Department says that it is estimated that the supply of the world is about KlAK), horses. In Europe there are 40,000,000, in North Arrrica and South America 2T,OOU,Ot0, iii Asia U, 000,000, in Australia 2,000,000 and in Africa 1,2.j0,000. Pasturing on Clorer. This is a question where the value of the clover has to be considered and a Fafe rule to voik out Is to keep the hogs out of the clover at all times until. In the course of rotation, the clover is to be plowed under the following sprinc; in that event, let the swine get all the good they can out of such pasture It Is not an easy task to bring hogs up on pastures of clover, without injury to the soil or without any particular profit. If the clover field is well set and the first season's growth is strong, yielding a good harvest, the hogs will benefit the ground if they are turned on to the clover the fall and winter before It Is to be turned under. Preparation of Fowls for Cooklnjr. A fowl raised In the barnyard Is not fit to eat If billed directly from there. It should be kept In a coop (kept for this purpose alone) for several days and fed on a nice clean diet, such a;f milk, bread, com. plenty of fresh water and gravel. It seems to me I can detect the scents from the barnyard while the fowls are cooking, if cooked without the above method being followed, says a writer in the Epitomlst It is also very Important that the ious be kept clean, for In a very short while the birds will become as unclean as the. barnyard. It is, therefore, necessary to have two or three pens and only put up enough for one meal In each pen at a time. When a fowl Is killed it should be hung up to bleed well before it is dressed, then soaked after it is dressed) In one-half gallon of cold water with about a handful of salt In water; If only for a quarter of an hour, the fowl will be Improved. Fried chicken is much better If ham drippings are used to fry in, Instead of lard. Laet Futf-I-nylnc Contest. The latest egg-iaying contest is that just concluded at the Kansas experiment station. The leading breeds wer represented, each with a pen of a male and six pullets. The methods were those ordinarily employed, the Idea being to bring out comparative results such as might be obtained by an experienced poultryman. The usual mixtures of grain and soft feed were given, also vegetable food, oyster shells, grit and meat meal, but no fresh meat, pepper, patent foods or other stimjlants. During the twelve' months of the contest the pen of White Leghorns laid 885 eggs; the Rose Comb White Leghorns laid S2S, laying, however, a larger proportion of their eggs In the winter than the single comb pen. The American Reds laid 820 eggs and showed the best winter record. The White Wyan-

dottes laid 799, the Buff Wyandottes 704, Barred Plymouth Rocks, C19, Light Brahma.-: 589. The Plymouth Bocks were not fairly represented, the females being yearlings, while those of the other breeds were pullets. The Brahmas were, as usual, slow In developing, but continued to lay well except In the spring. Trobably for a longer time their relative showing would have been better.

More Farms and Greater Crops. From 1890 to 1900 the number of farms In the United States Increased from 4,rG4,G41 to 5,739,057, and the value of fanns and farm property from $10.0S2,207,000 to $20,.r14.,001,S3S. The census is taken every ten years. From INTO to 1SS0 the Increase In farms v:a 1,348.992, totaVs being 2.C59,0S3 and 40,008,907, respectively. The number of persons engaged in agriculture on the 5,730,057 farms in 1900 is given as 10,438,210. During the past two or three years, and more especially the past year, a great expand of new farming land was opened up in the Northwest, so that by the time the next census is taken It Is expected the total number of farms In the United States will be close to 7,000,000. With the rapid Increase In establishing new farms and methods tending to more Intensive farming, and the production of more grain and product from every acre tilled by scientific methods that are now being taught and practiced, tha agricultural productions of this country should keep well apace with our rapid Increase In population. Intelligent methods of using the lands are all that are required to provide abundantly for our own and many foreign consumers. , Donble Darn Windows. Except in the warm South the windows of every barn should be fitted with an extra covering of wood. In other words, a shutter of wood hinged on the outslda and swinging In to be hooked on the Inside.' If the frame will not permit of this, have It anyway, and use a button on the outsld. One scarcely realizes how much warmer the barn will be for th cows and horses with this double window, and the cost is not great. In some cases a double window of .glass will answer the pun0'"? antl be more ornamental, but In cold locations a curtain of burlap should be used on the coldest nights. Iti addition to fixing the windows as described above, go over the barn wall and stuff newspapers between the cracks of the boards. Have some corner of the barn where a window of a size according to the number of animals In the barn can be placed which will be open most of the time to give as nearly ierfect ventilation as possible, or have some plan which is as applicable to the large building, as the small one While the barn should be made comfortable, remember that the health of the animals requires perfect ventilation, or as nearly perfect as one can get It Over-Feed In ir Pallets. Those who are having their first experience with a flock of pullets of considerable size should remember that the birds, having been brought up on the range during the summer, are more Impatient of restraint than the older birds. Ilorice it Is essential that they be handled so they will obtain the maximum amount of exercise In the winter quarters. Trobably this is better done by some intelligent care in feeding than In any other way. Let the pullet have one good meal during the day, arranging this at any period which seems best after experimenting ; for the rest of the day keep her bu?y by frequently scattering small quailtitles of grain among the chaff on the floor or In the yard If the weather Is suflicieritly oin. Manage it so that each pullet will be fairly well fed during the day; there is little danger of oyer-feedlng by this plan, so tÄat care must be taken that they have enough, Furnishing exercise In this manner gives the best possible results for the pullets will take it in the search for food when they could not be induced to half the moving around If their appetities were already satisfied. Be careful to use small grains In this manner of feeding, wheat being probably the best for the purpose. Cfceer Up. The farmer's life Is too often an isolated one, and because of the lack of associates he Is too apt to become a pessimist Is the opinion of a writer In Successful Farming. With no one to converse with him, he develops a moody temperament, and grows into the habit of brooding over the tolls and vexations of every-day life. He feels that his is a hard lot as he plods along behind the faithful team and with this thought uppermost In his mind, he returns from his dally work at night-time to greet his family with a gloomy cuntenance and a fretful word. The good housewife having toiled all the long summer day In th heated atmosphere of closed rooms, and with aching head and heajrt chilled by the cheerless, complaining manner of her husband, also grows fretful, and the place Immediately becomes a home that is far from bIng a paradise of peace, contentment, love and happiness. This Is true of too many farm homes. The flowers of sweet content are nipped by the chilling frosts of gloomy sadness, so that life apparently occurs to be little more than worth the living. Cultivate a cheerful disposition. Do not wrap up all your Interests, all your thoughts and ambitions In self. Seek to please those with whom you associate, and above all strive to lighten the burdens and hours of the ones at home that call you husband, faiher or brother. Whatever be your disappointment or how very heavy be the burden of the cross you bear, do not go over the threshold of your home with a sullen, cheerless countenance. A cheerful word or smile will fill your fireside with pleasantness, rekindle the fires of love In your wife's bosom and brighten the hopes and aspirations, of your children. Cheerfulness is better than a doctor's medicine and a cheerful farm home is an earthly heaven.

A MIRACLE OF NATURE.

The Wonderful Growth of the Antlers of the Wapiti. Wapiti antler growth Is one of the miracles of nature that we never cease to consider a miracle. About the end of winter that Is In mid-March the antlers of the year before break off flush with their base an Inch or more above the skull. Usually they are found close together, showing that they fell nearly at the same time. At first the place of eaph antler Is a broad raw spot. In a few days It shows a thick rounded pad or blood gorged skin. This swells rapidly, and in a fortnight the great bulbous fuzzy horn beginning has shot up to a height of several inches. At exactly the right time, place and In just the right direction a bump comes forth to be the foundation of the brow tine. In a few more days the bez tine is projected by the Invisible architect In a month the structure Is nearly a foot high and all enveloped In a turgid mass of feverish, throbbing blood vessels the scaf folding and workmen of this surprising structure. Nlht and day the work Is pushed with astounding speed, and In four months this skyscraper is flnl hed, a wonderful structure Indeed, for o score of nature's forces have tolled, a myriad of invisible workmen have done their part, and an edifice that, according to ordinary rules, should have taken lifetime is here rushed through in a summer and all In absolute silence, August sees the building done, but II is still cluttered with scaffolding. The supplies of blood at the base are reduced and finally discontinued. The antler Is no longer In vital touch with the animal. It begins to die. The sensitiveness leaves each part, the velvei covering soon dies, cracks and peels, and the stag assists the process ol clearing off the skin by scraping h! horns on the brushwood. Septembei sees him fully niined In his spears ol dead bone, strong In body, glorying 1e his weapons and his strength and ready to bAttle with all comers. Ernesl Thompson Seton In Scrlbner's.

On the day of their birth they are betrothed to a baby boy a trifle older than themselves, and ct the age of 20 they arc married. The girls know of no other way of getting a husband,' and so they are quite happy and satisfied. As wives they are patterns of obedience, and tht marriages usually turn out a success. Women sailors are employed in Denmark, Norway and Finland, and are often found to be excellent mariners. In Denmark several women are employed as state officials at sea, and particularly In the pilot service. They go out to meet the incoming ships; they limb nimbly out of their boats; they show their official diploma and they steer the newcomer safely Into the harbor. JLt Is the same In Finland. A Texas corespondent 'tells "Law Notes" how an obstinate juryman was circumvented by his fellow Judges of the facts. The offense charged was assault with Intent to murder. After the Jury had been out about two hours they returned the following verdict: "We, the Jury, find the defendant guilty of aggravated assault, and assess his punishment at $23 fine, and herewith pay the fine." On inquiry as to the meaning of the last clause of the verdict, It came out that eleven of the Jurors bad agreed that the defendant was not guilty, but the twelfth doggedly hung out for a conviction for aggravated assault, and would not consent to a punishment less than a fine of $25. Finding It a hopeless task to brmg over the obstinate one to their way of thinking, the eleven finally decided fo agree with him, and "chipped in" enough to pay the fine. The Ideal Clothing. In Montana, along the line of the Great Northern Railroad, a pelting rain was falling one November day. Inside the section house- the rusty soft coal stove, setting In Its box of sawdust, was red with heat Two section hands came, dripping like the proverbial rats, and proceeded to 6tand as close to the stove as they well could without being fcorched. Shortly, clouds of steam ascended from ihelr soaked clothing and the small room soon resembled a vapor bath. "I tell you, Mike," said one as he squeezed the water from the hem of his trousers. "Overalls Is the things to wear, fer no matter .how wet they are, they an? so soon dry." "Naw, Jawn, macklnaws is the byes,': .eplled the other as he looked down with satisfaction at his plaid suit of thick woolen.

While on a profe5slonal Irip with Mr. Riley, Bill Nye used to say, and while my wife was with me bound for the West, we got word at Kansas City that the children had been attacked simultaneously with the scarlet fever, and so It was necessary to give up the California trip. Our manager hated to give up the tour en li rely, and. In order to make it more impressive, wired that I was ill, which was all right for a manager, but would not do for anybody else. He sent the following message, totally unpunctuated, to Yield: , "Kansas City, April 20, 1889.

Cotton growing In Peru dates back to prehistoric times, and it Is quite a common occurrence to bring to light fine siecimens of cotton textiles In digging up ancient Inca graves, says the New York Herald. At various times subsequent to the conquest foreign varieties of cotton Egyptian, Argelian, Sea island, Metafifi have been introduced among the plantations, but the distinctly Peruvian variety, the Peruvian rough of commerce, still commands superior prices abroad. Exports are chiefly to England and the United States. The famous Peruvian rough, however, does not take kindly to cultivation in all parts of the republic, Inca and Piura being the regions where apparently It thrives best The variety called locally "Egyptian," which is our "Upland" of the United States, grows rapidly In the coast region of Peru. The Argelian variety is less adapted to local conditions and suffers greatly from a preva lent blight, the bane of coiVn planters, which Is locally known as "hielo" (frost). It Is probably of bacteriological origin, and, here at least, has no remedy. The Metafifi (Yanovltch) and Sea Island are grown In spots along the coast, chiefly at Supe and Huacho, near Lima, for export chiefly. The limitations of the local rrllls form the chief reason for the more prevalent selection of the variety known as Egyrv tian, which Is more easily worked thaD the others. A WOMAN DOCTOR Was Qnlclc to See that Coffee Poison Warn Doing the Mischief. A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells It In a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve It "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and have suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gare me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day In 1904, a woman doctor told me to drink Tostum Food Coffee. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Potum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and am still gaining, but not so fast as at first. My headaches began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks long enough I expect to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Now that a few months have passed since I began to use Postum Food Coffee, I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Tostum that cured me. Before I used Tostum I never went out alone; I Mould get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head Is clear as a bell. My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Name given by Postum Co., jßattte Crtk, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little ook, "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs.

ALL ABOUT SUCCOTASH.

Famons Dish that Has Been Enjoyed for Centarles by Americans. Succotash has always been in' vogue in New England since the puritans learned the art of mixing corn and beans from the Indians' nearly COO years ago. Many dishes have been invented since then, and most of them have gone out of business, but tho popularity of succotash remains. Succotash, next to Indian pudding, is probably the oldest dish we of Connecticut have in our list of eatables. It was in use among the Indians of Plymouth when the Englishmen landed, and they had probably eaten it for hundreds of years before that time. In this section it was also the principal article of food for the Connecticut Indians during the summer months and. fall, and Is said io have been the creation at some remote period of the Narragansett Indians of Rhode Island. They called it "Msickquatash," and from that word has come the word succotash. When the puritans landed in New England they soon learned how to prepare the food of corn and beans from the aborigines, and they liked the mixture. An. old lady of Plymouth, who has made it for half a century, 6ays the Plymouth brand of succotash has corned beef, turnips and chicken in it. The mystery of how to prepare this mixture is said to be one of the heirlooms passed down from generation to generation. We Connecticut people who are used to the plain corn .ind beans, with a little pork, are slow to embrace the Massachusetts rendering of the succotash recipe. In the old taverns of our grandfathers' day succotash was frequently served as the only dish at dinner. In the year 17S0, just after the main road through Guilford had been made a part o. the great stage route between Boston and New York, the Marquis de Lafayette entered the quiet village on his way from New York to Newport lie put up over night at 'Squire Brown's tavern, on the west side of Guilford Green, or common, where the national bank now stands. Brown wanted to treat the famous Frenchman as well as possible and served, him with succotash for supper. The marquis ate heartily of the dish, complimented the squire on the perfect blend of the corn and beans, and departed on his way to Newport Many years after, when the marquis met Charles Jared Ingersoll of New Haven, who was attached to the French embassy, in Paris, he recallM the supper of succotash he had in Guilford at 'Squire Brown's tavern. The marquis again visited Guilford In 1824 and stopped at Miner Bradley's tavern, but whether he had succotash or not isn't mentioned. Hartford Courant " srdoned. ' .

STOP, WOMAN!

AND CONSIDER THE ALLIMPORTANT FACT That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers a great many years. Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, and for many years underherdirection, and since her de ler de- Xy Sk omen cease, she has1 advising sick men free of charge. Many w suffer in silence and drift along from' bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but . a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of , even ' their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Plnkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman ; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.' Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don't hesitate to g-et a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass. for special advice. When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, you cannot well say, without trying it, I do not believe it will help me. 250u8holsofülioai fo (be Acre mears a productive capacity in dollars of Over $16 Per Acre This on land, which hs cost the farmer nothing but the price .of tilling It, tells Its own story.
