PURE Swinton’s Specific, FOR DYSPEPSIA. This 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 Swinton. Patent and proprietary nostrums have had no more bit ter opponent than this most eminent physic ian, for the simple reason that the same doae is Invariably prescribed to the sufferer, no matter what the temperament of the patient, and no matter what the peculiaralitlesof tho disease, and this, too, in tho face of the claims that such remedies will cure a major ity of known diseases. Dr. Swinton realized fully to what extent dyspepsia, whether mild or chronic by Im poverishing and poisoning the blood, became the progenitor of numerous diseases, and therefore sought ellfgently for years to dis cover its true specific. In this lie was suc cessful, but in prescribing bis wonderful dis covery, ho never overlooked the great medi cal truth that tho symptoms in each case, the tempermental differences, and oven the hab its and occupation of the sufferer required not only a difference In the prescription of his remedy, but also demanded supplemental treatment and dietary directions, varying j widely in different eases. THE SWINTON MEDICAL CO. send in connection with this celebrated Specific for Dyspepsia, a complete ! treatise by tno Doctor, which gives explicit directions to the sufferer, so that lie may not only intelligently use the remedy but also properly regulate tho diet and properly self admlnister the supplemental prescriptions suited to the case. THIS IS MEDICAL TREATMENT AND NOT QUACKERY. Do not be robbed of your money and yonr hopes for restored health by alloged pana ceas, which while comparatively harmless will euro nothing. SWINTON’S SPECIFIC is sold by all drug gists in $1 packages. We are introducing it ourselves in this territory, before placing it on sale with your leading pharmacists, and will send single packages to any address upon receipt of 50 cents. Each package contains the medical treatise of Dr. Swinton, giving j dietary directions and supplemental pro- 1 scriptions. Address, 218 j SWINTON MEDICAL CO.. Fischer Building, CHICAGO, II,L.

Tlip M liter nml Ntone* In the Kona*—Beet* for Feed—'The Art of Fulling; Heavy Loads—Farm Note* and Home Hint*. Improved Honda. It Is gratifying to observe the In creasing interest shown throughout the country In the improvement of tho public roads, and many suggestions are for those of costly construction, requiring several hundred and even thousands of dollars for a mllo. Tax payers are frightened with these sug gestions and while public interest has greatly inc eased, tho public loads have not improved at all. in most lo calities. In a few instances, few and far between, short specimons of lino and expensive broken-stone roads have been made, costing several hundred dollars a milo, but tho Interest which brought them Into existence was not kept up; they wore nogloctod. wore not ropulred. and this noglect resulted in uauiy cut wugou iracics, wnicn niul they boon mended in lime would huvo cost little, but with greatly increased expense afterwards. One of the greatest, difficulties at present is the want of interest and knowledge on the part of a largo portion of the community generally. How can this interest and knowledge be imparled1' lty a continued und wise discussion' by competent spoak ors and writers, Bays the Country (icutlemnn. Ono of the best things to lie done in the first placo ts to call attention to making the best of thu means wo now have. For instanco. gel rid of the loose stones—the roads in a large portion of the country havo m 're or less of them—and the cost of removing them once a month, or evon once a week, would be trifling com pared with the advantages. Wo havo seen one mile of rond. taken os a lair specimen, and better than many others, that had by counting and osti malu, () ■ loo-e stones in the track, varying in size from that of a man’s list lo half the size of his head, in this miio of length. From twenty to fifty wagons passed it in a day, and strik ing those stones or a portion of them, the wheels were struck with a forco not unlike that of a sledge ns they passed, and of course the owners of Die wagons suffered a formidable loss in the durability of their vehicles. If ouch of the owners drove over this load fifty times in a year, and re ceived fifty severe thumps from those stones against his wagon wheols, or not, less than dOO thumps in a year, and each larmer within throo milos did tho fame, tile whole damage would amount to a largo sum. And yd. tho whole cost of removing these looso stones by hand would not havo been F : od stones could not be cleared out so easily, but they would exert in many cases oven more damage. We have a law requiring tho stated re moval of stones, but in tho majority of pliicos it is very rarely observed. If the proposed cost of a macadam road were applied to tho e tpenso of koop ing a publie road clear from loose and fixed sonos, it would keep all th i roads in each of several whole counties free from this costl ■ annoyance. / notlicr common cause of bad roads is water. Dry earth makes a smooth truck: water converts it into mud, which is quickly cut into deep ruts. Good drains at roudsidcs, and ono or more tile drains filled with gravel or broken stone, running lengthwise un der the truck, would make a great difference in tho character of public hltrhwnvs. » Using tlie boat material for the trunk is of great iinporlunee and often overlooked. it is eo mon in some places to serapo u;) \v. at is culled a ••turnpike. ’ an ado of suds and rich surface soil. 1 lie deep bed of rich 30.1 thus made would bo an excellent place for ral ing a line crop of pota toes but when, during a wet ti o t Is cut into ru s a foot deep, it mak s heavy tra cling. We l.avo seen fine exuurde of tho reverse, where the natural soil rich and soft, had been scraped away fro n tho hardpnn be low. and left a hard, bare subfile a for the wagonway. at a cost of loss than fifty eenti a rod. the roadway thus formed rcnia.niog comparatively smooth an hard during the wettos'. seasons. Tcese lliroe modes of iraproi ement —removal of stones, efficient drain age. and in king the track of the host hard material, if efficiently used a id with judgment through, tho country generally, would bo worth more than a single costly macadam road, beyond the reach of nearly all tho farmers who would have to be taxed for it. when living twenty miles from it A mistake Is sometimes made by citing tho example of the old Kuru poan countries, whose public roads ars famed for thoir excellence, in that they are constructed nt a very low cost for labor, while in this country of wide distances, the same amount oi work would require a greatly ex ceeded expenditure. Wo should not therefore cite their example. !:«■.-ts r>- r.-.-.i.

Farm Not«n. The breeding and feeding of live stock is the salvation of impoverished farms. The offspring bred gredtly dissimi lar parents should never be used for breeding. The Improvement of the grass lands should bo an important consideration with every farmer. Good pastures are the farmors' principal dependence and they should bo well cared for. German millet makes a largo growth in a short time and furnishes an excellent food. The harrow should bo used not only in preparing the land for the seed but in giving the first cultivation. A merciloss system of weeding out may bo practiced on the majority of stock farms to a good advantage. Clay lands especially are bonefitted by growing clover, as it loosens it up and helps to supply vegetable mat ter. The stable doors should always have a convenient way of fasten ing them open, as well as when shut Karlincss in getting tho crops plant ed is essential in order to give Ilium the advantage of the best season for growth. v Feeding should be subdlvi cd into regularity, quantity and quality and then apply to all kinds and classes of stock. lloutiflinlil Help4.
