Tills unfailing remedy for dyspepsia of the most chronic type, Is the result of many year’s medical research of one of the most noted and eminent medical scholars of the period. Dr. La Verne Swlnton. Patent and proprietary nostrums have had no more bit ter opponent than this most eminent phys’c ian. for the simple reason that the same dose is invariably prescribed to the sufferer, no matter what the temperament of the patient, and no matter what the peeuliaralitiesof the disease, and this, too, in the face of the claims that such remedies will cure a major ity of known diseases. l)r. S.vinton realized fully to wliat extent dyspepsia, whether mild or chronic by im poverishing and poisoning the blood, became the progenitor of numerous diseases, and therefore sought eillgently for years to dis cover its true specific. In this he was suc cessful* hut In prescribing his wonderful dis covery, lie never overlooked tlie great medi cal truth that the symptoms In each case,the tempermental differences, and even the hab its unci occupation of the sufferer required not only a difference in the prescription of Ids remedy, but also demanded supplemental treatment ana dietary directions, varying widely hi different cases. THE WV1NTON MEDICAL CO. send in connection with this celebrated Specific for Dyspepsia, a complete treatise by the Doctor, which gives explicit directions to the sufferer, so that he may not only intelligently use the remedy but also properly regulate the diet and properly self admlnister the supplemental prescriptions suited to the ease. THIS IS MEDICAL TREATMENT AND NOT QUACKERY. Do not be robbed of your money and your hopes for restored health by ulleged puuu eous, which while comparatively harmless will cure nothing. SWINTON’S SPECIFIC is sold by all drug gists in $l packages. We are Introducing it ourselves In this territory, before placing it oit sale with your leading pharmacists, aud will send single packages to any address upon receipt of 50 cents. Each package contains the medical treatise of Dr. Swlnton, giving dietary directions and supplemental pre scriptions. Address, 38 . • SWINTON MEDICAL CO., Fischer Uullding, CHICAGO, ILL.

SOME ESSENTIAL THINGS ABOUT COLT BREAKING. fvwr Men Who Are Competent to Under take It—A Mplendld Harden—Pota toes—Sheep Shearings and Home Hints. ’ llreaklng a Colt. Very few there are that are fit sub jects to break or handle a colt' A man mny know just how it ought to be dona but still be unable to do it. There are two very essential things re garding eolt breaking. First, you must be a man of courage, and second, you mifst be blessed with a mild dis position, and be a true lover of the class of animals you are handling. If you have an ungovornable temper, don’t ever undertake to break a oolt. There are times when the whip must be applied, but all men do not know when to stop whipping after they once commence. Two or three smart blows with the whip Is far better than double the number half as smart Don’t koep continually hitting the colt for every little of fence and don’t keep tapping him along on the road, but when you find him unwilling to obey the word of command hit him once or twioe, and hit him hard, then put up the whl]>. You will find him very apt to start the next time you speak to him. 1 believe In the bitting bridle says a writer In tbe American Cultivator, for it gives the oolt a good mouth and accustoms him to the cheok. so whon you hitch him up he Is not in the least troubled with either cheok or bit, which Is very annoying to him until he becomes well used to them. Har ness the colt and drive him about sev eral times, teaching him to back and start at the word of command before hitching him to sleigh or wheels when you do hitch him have your harness strong, and so regulated that you wont have to unbuokle any strapa Then If you happen to get into a scrape and want to detach the colt quickly from the cart you can do so. Never leavo off the kicking strap until the eoit has been driven long enough to be thoroughly broken, no matter how kind he may appear. It you wish to be safe, keep on the strap at least two months. We read and hear about controlling bits, but they are no good. There Is not a bit top of earth that will prevent a colt or horse from kicking, and a harsh bit of any kind is the worst thing you can put Into the mouth of a colt or a puller. Once in a white you will find a horse that requires a jaw-breaking bit. but they are few and far between, and are generally not worth the price of the bit A good-sized leather-cov ered bit and a nose strap buckled tight enough to keep the mouth closed, will control any ordinary puller or colt and will not fret or chafe them. When you first start out with your colt he is very apt to want to start off quickly. It is better to indulge him in this at first rather than to pull him back, as he will settle down after going a short distance, and if you pull or yank him, he is very apt to balk, and it is better always to avoid balk ing if possible. Colts differ in intelligence; the same as children, and as a rule the better bred the more they know and the less apt they are to forget 1 would much rather face a locomotive with a well bred. high-strung colt than with a lunkhead. The well-bred colt has confidence in his driver, but the lunk head never. The dull colt never sees an object until he comes in contact with it; then his first impulse is to get away; but the bright clear-headed colt sees ahead, and by the time he comes up to the very thing that has scared the dull colt has, with the aid of his driver, reasoned the object out and nine times out of ten will go past the object without shying. Take great care when unhitching the colt to see that he don't start out with a holdback or some other strap hitched. When you hitch the colt for a drive compel him to stand a few moments after he is hooked to the carriage. This will teach him to wait until you are ready. Give him short drives at first and never drive long enough to get him leg-weary. Always drive him a good roud gait making him road over the little hills and well up to the large ones. Hy so doing you leach your colt to become a good road horse, which will make him very valuable even if he never trots fast. Teach him to be a good walker, and whenever you find him lagging at the walking gait touch him up. He will soon learn to walk well, which is. very essential to a good horse. ■•'S'llemlid tiuiilun.” My garden is ten rods long and eight wid?. I plow as soon in the spring as it gets dry enough to work. While plowing I call all my hens in. say 150. to pick up the worms; they have a feast. The next day I harrow fine, and plant and do all I can to keep the hens at work to get rid of worms. I then sow all small seed in rows the whole length of the garden, as straight us a line can bo drawn, 28 Inches apart raking wide enough for one row, and draw line and mark with end of hoe handle close to line about an inch deep. Then 1 sow the seeds; such as beets. lettuce, onions, cabbage, cayrota spinach, parsnips tomatoes, eta, remove the line and pat the dirt on the seeds with the back of the rake, so as to cover the scods about half an inch deep and they will always grow. Next l rake enough for another row and sow, and so on until all the small seeds are sown. I plant two rows of English multiplier onions— one rogr of large and one row of small —in the same way. only I use the corner of the hoe for a marker, for they must be planted deeper, and ft couple of rows of pens ft foot opart; cover 04 before with the bnck of the rake, and pat the soil firm; they are •ure to grot/. Treat cucumbers, squash, beans, etc., the same only farther apart; potatoes, 8 feet; core •1 i foot. The whole garden Is planted In rows lengthwise It Is a great pleasure to run a good oultivator up and down betweon the rows and see the weeds turn up their toes and die Try this plan, dear reader. I lot hens roam over my garden all they wish, and somehow they don't scratch up anything, perhaps because I feed them every day and have no dog. It. may be they don’t know where the seeds are. One thing I know, nil passers-by look with admiration, and often say: •Oh, soe what a splendid garden; I novsr saw the like of it"— Germantown Telegraph. StarvUiK town to Abortion. Abortion In dairy cows Is so im portant a subject for study as to merit the gravest consideration. But among all the notes given in the Rural I fall to seo any mention of what may be tho most effective cause of it This Is insufficient feeding. Every product requires Its apodal material of whluh It is constructed. A calf is such a product and It is expected from a cow that Is fed up to the extreme limit of digestion and assimllution for the production of milk and butter. Those take from tho animal precisely the same food elements as the calf, aud as tho cow has been tralnbd and bred to use its food for milk first of course tho calf suffers, and bocomes stunted In Its fetal growth and cannot reach ma turity. Does not too long milking produce this diseaso, for it is a dis ease? Do we not kill tho gooBo that lays the golden egg. by thinking of nothing but tho egg and starving the goosoP—Henry Stewart in the Rural New Yorker. NIiaarliiKi. Dryness is one of the requirements in the production of the finer grades of wool. Grain will make the animals grow larger and improves tho quullty of the mutton. Thero will bo less waste in feo'ding hay if it is scattered thin in tho feed ing racka Many consider that Southdown wool is about the strongest grown on do mesticated sheep. Use all reasonable care to savo all of the lamba os losing them cuts materially into the proilta It is a good plan to sow some mil let or Hungarian hay. especially for feeding the sheep in winter. Good sl-od sheop and big clean fleeces are the only kind that pay un der present conditions of managing them. It is often the caso that one or two dogs will wipe out in one night all of the profits of a flock of sheep for tho season. All things considered it rarely pays to wash the wool before shearing; the difference in the price rarely pays for the work. Wet, dirty wool on the sheep makes a breeding place for maggots; they will increase rapidly and will destroy the animaL Scab; foot rot and liver trouble are all diseases that are Induced by lack of thrift. A poor shepherd makes poor sheep. So long as so many are so careless in feeding and dressing muttons for market, there will be a prejudice against mutton. Home Hints. Hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach are promptly checked by small doses of salt The patient should be kept as quiet as possible^ When the taste of the cook has be come vitiated by the tasting of many dishes, a swallow of milk will rostore the delicacy of the palate^ so says an old authority on the cuisine. Common sulphur will kill or drive away the little, fish-shaped, silvery pest which Infests our pantry. Sprinkle the sulphur freely about and the place will soon be cleared of the vermin. A hole in a garment may be patched so deftly that the delect will bo scarcely visible. The patch should be fitted into the aperture with the greatest accuracy, and should be overhanded to the surrounding edges. The writing paper most in vogue is a large, square sheet of clear white, which folds once and fits into a large, square envelope. A cipher or small monogram in gold or stiver is liked, though a number of people have the house address on tne flap of the en velope, so that if the letter is mis directed it can bo returned. To remove freshly spilled , milk from carpets, first take up as much as possible of the ink with a teaspoon. Then pour cold, sweet milk upon the spot and take up as before, pouring on milk until at last it becomes only slightly tinged with black; then wash with cold water, and absorb with a cloth without too much rubbing. "This man has a helpful wife,1' once remarked a well-known econom ist who had incidentally partakon of the hospitality of a simple household. ••Why do you say that?” queriod an unobservant fellow-guest. -I saw a darn in her exquisitely white table cloth. and it was finer and more ornamental in my eyes than the most delicate embroidery.” Freshly cut flowers may be pre served alive for a long time by plac ing them in a glass or vase with fresh water in which a little charcoal has been steeped, or a small piece of camphor dissolved. The vaso should be set upon a plate or dish and cov ered with u bell glass, around the edges of which, when it comes in contact with the plate, a little water should be poured to exclude the air.
