What Would You Do If three good physicians should pronounce your case hopeless. If they should decide that you could not live longer thin six weeks. And if you should get well, after using only $12.00 worth of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and Nervine, what would you advise a friend in like condition to do? ' •‘I have to thank you for sa vlng say wife's life two years ago. We had continued with the doctor until the third doctor, like the two previous uses, said that nothing could'he dona for her; that she had better be taken home from the hospital to quietly wait her time, which would not be over 6 weeks at the most. I brought her home, and then I thought probabty Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and Nervine might help her, so I got a bottle of each and some Nerve and Liver Pills and commenced to give them to her. We soon seen an Improvement, and B courage.! by this we continued givt the medicine. We gave her eleve* ttles tn all of the medicine. She takes it occasionally now If she feels the ne-d.

FORCING OR RETARDING.

Suggestions Offered by an Expert Poultryman Concerning Pullets. ! James E. Rice, poultryman cjf the Cornell university experiment station, Issued a bulletin relative to the possibilities of feeding early hatched pullets during the summer by retarded or forced feeding. By retarding is meant the idea that feeding is necessary during the lace summer to check the early tendency of laying, with the hope of getting a larger egg yield in the early winter. By forced feeding Is meant the giving of a rich stimulating mash to induce egg production. Concerning the results of his work Mr. Rice has certain findings drawn from data which are submitted below: 1. Forced pullets made a better profit than retarded pullets. 2. Forced pullets ate less food per hen at less cost per hen than retarded pullets. 3. Forced pullets produced more eggs of a larger size, at less cost per dozen than retarded pullets. 4. Forced pullets produced more eggs during early winter than retarded pullets. 5. Forced pullets have better hatching results of eggs than retarded pullets. 6. Forced pullets made a better percentage of gain in weight than retarded pullets. 7. Forced pullets showed less broodiness than retarded pullets. ~8. Forced pullets had less mortahty than retarded pullets. 9. Forced pullets showed better vigor than retarded pullets. 10. Forced pullets showed the first mature molt earlier than retarded pullets. 11. Retarded pullets gave better fertility of eggs than forced pullets. 12. Hopper-fed dry mash gave better results in gain of weight, production* of eggs, gain in weight of eggs, hatching power of eggs, days lost in molting, mortality, health and profit per hen, than wet mash. 13. Wet mash and grain fed pullets consumed slightly less food at less cost, and produced eggs at slightly less cost per dozen than dry mash and grain fed -pullets. 14. Wet mash and grain fed pullets produced slightly larger eggs of slightly better fertility, and showed less broodiness than dry niash and grain fed pullets. 15. Dry mash and grain fed pullets laid eggs of good size at an earlier period than wet mash and grain fed pullets. , 16. Hopper-fed pullets ate more than hand-fed pullets. 17. Pullets having whole grain ate more grit and shell than those having a proportion of ground grain. 18. Pullets fed on grain were more inclined to develop bad habits than those having a mash. 19. Earliest producers did not give as many eggs in early winter. 20. Early layers gained as rapidly in weight as those beginning later to lay. 21. Prolificacy made but slight difference in weight of hen and weight of egg. 22. The most prolific pullets did not always lay earliest.

LOCATING THE INCUBATOR.

Room in Which There Is No Stove Is the Best Place. With a standard make of machine, the location dees not matter materially. The farmer cannot afford to have a specially constructed incubator celTar7lsbr Is this necessary for one or two machines. Few farmers operate more than one or two machines at the most and with this small number as g<*od results can be obtained in the dwelling house as any place, providing the farmer has room there for them wTiich he usually has. We never liked the idea of having an incubator in a sleeping apartment, however, says the Epitomist, for the fumes and gases from the lamp as well as from the machine Itself, are anything but healthful. A room in which there is no stove In operation makes a better incubator room than one that is heated, on account of the air being purer as a rule. A cellar makes an ideal location providing it is dry and well ventilated, but a musty cellar is a very poor place indeed for successful incubation.

boards, hung a home-made door to bottom of box and our house was done. These houses, says Agricultural Epitomist, serve the purpose for growing chicks as well as those we lined to buy already made. They require so little work and are muph cheaper.

Raise Laying Strains.

In securing a good supply of eggs the inborn tendency of heavy laying is an important point. It is a tendency which goes in certain strains the same as in certain families of and without it no amount of. skillful care and feeding will produce the best re’vnttsr —; —~ : ‘

WAYS OF SAVING WASTE.

Skimming River 1 for a Living—’Fishermen Who Net Corks. Skimming a river for a living may be said to be one of the most striking examples of the utilization of waste. This is done ta Paris. There is One individual, at least, in th? French capital who makes it his daily business to skim the Seine. He is out at early morning in an old flat bottomed boat, armed with a skimming pan. With this he skims off the surface of the river the grease which collects there during the night, ana whicn he disposes of to a soap factory. Generally, he make? a quarter or so by his morning’s work, which enables him to Jive. In Paris also there are a number of people who make a living out ot waste corks, which they flsu from the Seine. They collect on the river bank at uaybreak.' each with a short pole, at the end of which is a small improvised net. They set to work to gather in the floating covks, subsequently selling them to the corn merchants In the neighborhood. There are about a score or so of these cork fishermen, who have formed themselves into a sort of craft and who guerd their Interests jealously. If they catch sight of a stranger netting corks they fall On him in a body Only recently the police rescued one of these novices barely in time to save his life. The sweepings of a floor might well be considered as so mucn waste; yet, through a fire in London the oth--3r day, which consumed a quantity of sweepings stored in the basement, a certain firm lost several thousand dollars. The heap of dust and rut b-sh contained silver fillings, whicii it was Intended to extract later on. This is done regularly at all works where silver or gold is used. In gold refiners’ premises even the soot in the ' chimneys is not allowed to be trail'd as waste. It is found to conlaia j minute particles of the precious i.v-r - i al, which are far too valuable t<- be lost. i In places where sheep are bred exi tensively one frequently sees little I waste. From such wool rubbish whether coming from sheep or goats, valuable oil is now extracted.

INSECTS THAT ARE TIPPLERS.

Flowers and Blossoms That Have ar, Intoxicating Effect on Flies. It is not very obvious, from tinhuman point of view, why the ivshould be called the plant of Baccnuf since no wine is made from its berries. Entomologists, however, have found that its flowers make a veritable Bacchanalian festival for a number of insects. They are wont to salty forth at night wisi lanterns to capture the intoxicated moths that crow : around the greenish blossoms. Wher' he willow Is in bloom they find similar scene of dissipation around its yellow catkins. The tippling insect may be used to point a moral by the temperance lecturer, says the London Globe, for rum not infrequently leads to its ruin. A distinguished entomologist alter giving a recipe for the mixture for sugaring trees for moths—which ncluded beer said: “Add sonic Jamaica rum just before using; , it is the rum which attracts them.” After sipping this mixture'the moths and butterflies fall from the tree intoxicated. If the entomologist Is not there to capture them by and by tney recover and get up again for another dip. There Is a fly so addicted to wine that I innaeus named it the cellar fly, which appellation Kirby' changed to the more appropriate one of th< cellar wine drinker. .This latter distinguished entomologist writes of. it. thus: “The larva of this little fly whose economy, as I can witness fror. my own observations, disdains to feed on anything but wine or beer, which like Boniface in the play it may be said both to eat °nd drink, though, unlike its toping counterpart indifferent to the age of tne liquor, which, whether sweet or sour, is equally acceptable.” Kirby, who writes the above, does not, nevertheless, exonerate" adult flies from a partiality for the cup that (Sheers. “1 nat active little fly,’’ he writes, “now an unbidden guest at ; our table, whose delicate palate sei ects your choicest viands, one while extending his proboscis to the margin of a drop of wine and then gayly flying to take a more Soliu repast from a pear or a peach.” And ther? is another Insect —a moth—'which also Ijves„ the cellar and the wine bottle But, strange to sa?’, it taxes its liquor as a mere flavoring to the cork on which it really feeds; the larva, that is to say. pastures on the corks or wine bottles, sometimes causing the wine to run out. The mo a belongs to that troublesome fam'ty which works such destruction in clothes and turs.

Ways of French Mechanics.

All mecnanlcs In France are obliged to serve an apprenticeship of from, two to three years, during half of which period, at least, tney receive no wages and must board themselves In addition io this each one must give ».) two years of his life fbr military service, for which he receives I cent a day and board end clothes. It will be seen that every mechanic in France must expend four or five years of his life without wagen before he is prepared to earn from 97 cents to <1.17 a. day. :

THIRST-PROOF ANIMALS.

Others Besides the Camel Exist for Long Period* Without Water. From our childhood picture book days nearly every one of us has cherished the idea that the camel was the beast above all others that'could exist for extended periods without drinking. Aud so few of iis have any idea that there are other beasts of the earth quite as capable as tue humped quadruped of going for days and weeks without water. Sheep in the Northwestern deserts go for forty to sixty days in winter, without drink, grazing on the green, succulent vegetation of that season. Peccaries in the desert of Sonora live in little dry hills, where there Is no natural water, for long fieriods. They cannot possibly find water. In fact, for months at a time. The only moisture they can obtain comas from roots and the fruits of cacti.

But the most extraordinary case, says the New York Herald, is that of the pocket mouse, one of ine common rodents of the desert. This little ceature, by the way, has a genuine fhr lined pocket on the outside of Its cheek. When it is hungry it takes food from this pocket with its paw, just as a man would pull a sandwich from his pocket. It is said that one of these mice has been kept for three years with no other food than the mixed bird seed of commerce. During this period tt had not a taste ot either water or green food. Other experiments in this direction have shown, in fact, that these mice in captivity refuse sucn treats, not seeming to know that water is good to drink. The bird seed put before the mouse referred to contained not more than ten per cent, of moisture which is less than is necessary for digestion. Stuff so dry as this cannot even be swallowed until it is moistened by saliva, yet this remarkable mouse gave nothing but Ms time to the interests of science. He suffered nothing in health or spirits during his captivity.

ALCOHOL FROM SAWDUST.

Cannot be Distinguished From That Made of Grain. Samples of alcohol made from sawdust have been sent to the Department of Agriculture from one of the big saw mills where the work Is be*ng done on a commercial scale; that is to say, a distilling plant has been installed, which is turning out several barrels of alcohol daily, though nc figures are available as to the actual cost of manufacture compared with wood alcohol or that from grain. Tne interesting point about the- sawdust alcohol is that it is not a wood alcohol, having none of the properties ot that fluid, but is an ethyl alcohol that cannot be told from that made from grain. The nifference is that the sawdust alcohol is made after the sawdust has been treated with an acid, transforming it into dextrose, and is then distilled in the regular way. If the work can be done at a profit, and the indications from the work ot the company point to. this being a fact, it will not only make a valuable by-product out of the sawdust that has heretofore been an intolerable nuisance to the sawmills, but it will open up a way to make alcohol profitably from straw, cane, cornstalks and almost any other vegetable refuse.

New Theory as to Iron Rust.

It has long been generally supposed that iron rust was caused by oxidation though many’ chemists have been opposed to that view. The theory of oxidation has now it would appear, been quite upset. The chemical societies of London have decided that the formation of rust is chieny due to carbonic acid. The first phase of rust consists of the formation of carbonate of iron by the action of the carbonic acid of the air on metal. The carbonate of iron is turned into ferric hydroxid or rust. Recent experiments prove that"lf It is possible to prevent iron from coming in contact with carbonic acid, it (tiife iron so sheltered or protected) can lie near water for an indefinite time and there will not be the least trace of rust seen on it.

Lifting the Hat.

Many of the gentle courtesies of life found their origin in tne Age ot Chivalry when the warlike knigh'S of Europe took oath to protect the oppressed and to wage war against the oppressor. One of these is the custom of lifting the hat. When Knighthood was in vogue, one of those armored champions never appeared in public except in full array ready for combat. It soon became a custom, however, for a knight to remove his helmet when in the company of his friends as a mark of confidence in them, and seldom would he remain covered in the presence of the fair sex. The custom, however, may now be said to have lost half Its elegance losing all its danger.

Sunflowers in Medicine.

The common sunflower, a native of Peru and Mexico, is gaining favor in parts of Europe is a febrifuge. In Russia, where the plant is extensively cultivated for its edible seeds and Its oil, fever patients sleep upon beds of sunflower leaves, and a Russian physician experimenting on 100 children between 1 month and 12 years of age, has found that alcoholic extracts of the leaves aad flowers cure fever as speedily as quinine. .

Stomach Muscles In Old Age How Old People May Retain or Restore Good Health Usually the bowels are not bo active tn middle or advanced years aS in youth. Just as the eyes grow dim, the skin wrinkled, the hair gray, the muscles flabby, so do the internal organs show their age if we could' but see them. However we sometimes find a person whose age is near the meted three-score and ten and yet his step is sprightly, his eye keen, his flesh firm, his apr petite good and his bowels regular, and upon close questioning you will find a life’s history of right-living, good food, keen appetite, perfect digestion and regular bowel action. Regular bow’els and proper digestion of the food we eat is absolutely necessary to the enjoyment of good health by old or young.
