I Nerve Sick If weak, worn-out, nervous, cannot sleep; have indigestion, headache, neuralgia or periodic pains, it is because your nerves are weak. It is the lack of nerve force that makes the stomach, heart, lungs, etc,, work imperfectly—become sick. Dr. Miles’ Nervine cures ™ the sick when it restores nerve strength, and puts the power behind the organs to do their work. "Almost three years I suffered fro* nervousness, indigestion, and palpitation of the heart. I could not eat er Bleep with comfort, or walk or talk Without suffering. Altogether I was tn a bad condition. My doctor did not Mem to do me any good. I had tried •o many remedies that I did not have much hope of any of them doing mo any good. Dr. Miles’ Nervine war suggested by a friend. I got relief from the first, and after a few days 1 felt like a new .person. It not only relieved my heart and nerves, but tum invigorated my whole system. I am very grateful because since I have •topped using it, I have had absolutely Bo return of my old trouble. 1 ' MRS.

What a Man Is Up Against.

Recently we were handed a slip of paper on which the following was type written: “If you save your money, you’re a grouch; If you spend it, you’re a loafer; If you get it, you’re a grafter; If you don’t get it, you’re a bum; So what the H ’s the ute.” There is not inUch optimism in the lines, and we should like to believe that there was not much truth, but a careful survey of the people around us makes us believe that the author knew about what he was about when he penned the lines. Truly, the’ man who saves his money and deprives himself to accumulate a little or tries to lay some by for a rainy day is Called a stingy old miser and about half the people are knocking him because be don’t open up and spend his money. They don’t figure that he is simply economic and that he has as bis example in his efforts to secure a competency every man who has ever made a success from a small beginning. They don’t care what his plans are for the future; they don’t care how honest he may be; they don’t care how willing be may be in the support of worthy charities; they don’t care what the direct purpcse of his thrift and economy are, if he don’t go out with the boys and spend every last cent he makes he’s a grouch and a miser, and therefore no good on earth. The second proposition Is nearer the truth, with the possible exception of the use of a wrong word. The fellow that spends his money is not necessarily a loafer. There are people that work long hours and diligently too who never have a cent, yet who loaf but little. A better word would be spendthrift. The public soon learns of the habits of a young man and if he gets rid of all of his money they learn about it and talk about it, and there is many a young man who makes good wages about whom the public are truthfully saying, “He’s a spendthrift.” It is a bad reputation for any young man to get, and it is not the repuattion but the habit that injures the person that has it. He had better be cal ed “stingy,” “grouch” and “miser” and have the money, than be ca led “spendthrift” and be without it Concerning the third propositicn there does seem to be a dispcs ti n on the part of the public to speak of any' man who has accumulate! money as a “grafter.” A man may have got his start by the hardest knocks, and simply have been cn his guard all of the time to keep others from getting the belt cf him in a business way, and nev«.r l a\e had a tainted dollar in his possession in his life, and yet there are many people who believe that sue e s can only be attained by dishonest means, and lately there seems to be a little prejudice by some against those who have been successful in tie accumulation pf money, and it Is not inf equent that we hear of men of me a s referred to as “grafters.” And yet Rensselaer is largely made up of I men who have made successes in a 1 business way by the greatest diligence and econemy, and there have been very few who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. This atttu’e on the part of many is really covetousness or envy and If unchecked leads to crime and destroys tie grandest privilege in our boasted land of freedom. It is not the case that the man who has the money is a grafter, but there are lots of people who allege that it is, and who treat the man with money like he was really dishonest.

And on the other hand It Is net true that the man without money Is a bum, although the bum is usually without money, and perhaps long ecntinued money drouth would make more or less of a bum out of a man. The great trouble Is not In getting It but In keeping It, and It is not every one who can act on the plan of "getting all you can and canning all you get" Unless there is seme natural reason, some misfortune, some lack of faculties, every man can "get" some money and then it is up to the man as to what he does with It It is not what a man gets but what he saves that counts, and the fellow that gets it and has the public call him a "grafter” and the one who saves it and has the public call him a "grouch" has considerably the best of a bargain. True, many find It difficult to meet the needs of every day life with their earnings, and yet men have saved from the smallest incomes until they had enough to make some investment, for which their keen eye has been looking and beckoned them on, and they have become successful, while others with many times the Income are constantly in debt If the object of life were to please the people there would, indeed, be little use, for the public is prone to criticise. With some a man is too brash, with others he is too back-

ward; with some a man Is too partisan, with others he is too lukewarm; with some he is too fast* with others too slow; and, of course, everybody has an opinion of everybody else. But we do not live for the opinion the public or any part of it has jef us, and the man who is going to lay down and give up the struggle because of criticism won't amount to much. A successful man once said that whenever he heard of an unkind thing being said about him he just tried real hard to think of something good about his critic and then tried to make the man ashamed of himself by publicly praising him. In the matter of what one has or has not, how they got it or failed to get it, public opinion should cut but Ett e Importance, and the man that tries to regulate his habits and his manners to suit the public is not so apt to succeed as the one who is “just himself’ all of the time without regard to what people may think. If trying to appease public opinion was the only aim in life, the e wouldn’t be much use, but as the aim of man should be higher the:e is considerable “use” and a little pessimistic suggestion should not mar the ambition of any one.

make them firm. In front Is a oneinch mesh wire netting and at the edges are strips of three-quarter by 1%-inch stuff, to Insure rigidity. In one corner, as shown, is the nest, four inches deep and 15 to 18 inches square, according to the size of the hens kept. The board floor, explains the Orange Judd Farmer, is covered with sawdust or sand. Food and drink are more readily supplied through the door, which preferably lifts in front, as shown.

PROFIT IN POULTRY.

Farmer Keeps Accounts and Find* Biggest Money in the Chickens. One farmer down east, in order to find out where the leaks and where the gains were, kept an exact account with every department of his farm. He discovered that he was losing money on his beef cattle, that hogs just paid for themselves, that sheep were good if his lambs came early, and that the poultry made the largest per cent of profit of any feature of his farm. The result was that he quit fooling with beef and hogs and put more money and time into poultry. The increased prosperity on that farm was so marked that he wrote out for publication his experience. Because a hen is small and a steer Is big is a child’s reason for having contempt for the former and respect for the latter, says Farmers’ Voice. One of the biggest money makers in the world is the street car business, which depends entirely upon its income for flve-cent sales. A stick of chewing gum costs but a penny, yet just recently a syndicate was organized with over a million capital to make "trust chewing gum.” It will pay the farmer and his wife to consider the money there may be made in poultry if wisely directed. Organize the hen on a business basis; put up new, clean, airy quarters; get proper egg-making feeds; learn the value of cleanliness, light, warmth and sunshine in winter; get a good incubator and control your hatches so that you will have winter layers, broilers, etc., when they are most profitable. You will soon learn that for the money invested and labor required, the,hen is the most economical and highly efficient converter of rough feeds into money you have ever tried.

POULTRY NOTES.

Breed up the flock and get uniform birds. Shape makes the breed-color the variety. Do not try to keep a larger flocl. than you can take care of. Keep dampness out of the poultry house; that will help keep out disease. The habit some hens have of laying every day is not shared by all. If you hatch eggs from these every-day layers you will soon And you have no drones in the flock.. In running your incubator follow each and every instruction given by the manufacturers to the letter. They want to see you succeed and are not Imposing tasks they consider needles*.

Neglected Fowls.

It fa seldom that neglected fowls are profitable. A great many people have conceived the Idea that they can start a flock and let It alone and that the results will be profits day by day. As well might a farmer plant a field to anything and expect It to produce a good crop without caring for It The weeds would soon grow up and choke the economic plant*. In the poultry house we do not have weeds, but we have lice, mites, rata, cats, hawks, diseases of many kinds and thieve*. These' all correspond to the weeds that choke the crop in the field. They make it impossible for the lazy person to succeed.

Lime for Sour Soils.

Lime 18 the best corrector of sour soils. If you had a plat that contained or produced a crop of sorrel last yesr.you may rest assured that if 1* sour and crqps will not make a prof itable growth thereon until the sour nen is overcome. Usually an appli cation of from one to three tons pej •ere will be ample in the ’ average ease*. Besides correcting acMlty, ths Um* will liberate, much of the- uneol üble plant food, thus , Increasing th» productiveness of the soil. ’
