As I grew older the trouble became worse, and for the last few years I have not been able to work the g eater part of the time. I have taken treatment from several doctors, some of specialists, but without benefit. Last winter the pain in my stomach became so intense that I had to resort to opiates for relief. For six weeks JLwas not able to leave my bed. My stomach would not retain food, it being so weak. Morphine and laudanum were the only medicines that gave me any relief, and that only a little while at a time. My brother, seeing your advertise ment in an Omaha paper, ordered n pack age of l)r.

INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. Dow gurcrmfnl Firairn Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hint* a* to the Care ot Live Stock and Poultry. EW ideas are con stantly springing up in dairying, and this is also true of milking, which is an important branch of the in dustry, says a writ er in Live Stock Indicator. I have paid some atten tention to dairy ing, and And that good milking is a very important factor in. successful work. We may have the best of surroundings, the best of feed, the best of cows, and give them the best of care, and yet if we do not milk well, the profits will be very considera bly curtailed. With your permission I will give my ideas of what constitutes good milking and a good milker, for there is more science connected with it than many suppose. If you have a herd of twenty cows, for instancee, it is likely that you do not find any 'two of precisely the same disposition, with the same kind of udder and the same kind of teats. Some are hard to milk, others milk very easily, some let the milk down willingly and rapidly, oth ers are indifferent, and still others are inclined to refuse entirely. The good milker must be able to adapt himself to every one of these natural condi tions of the cow. Assuming that the hour for milking has come, each milker should milk the same cows at the same time of day, and milk them in the same order. He should have a good substantial stool, and not merely a piece of board on the top of a stick of stove wood, for with this make-shift neither the milker nor the milk is safe. Let the cow know that she is to be milked by a gentle word or two, sitch as "So, boss.” Sit down quietly by her side, have a damp doth and wipe off the udder and all parts liable to har bor anything offensive to the milk. I ao not nice tne idea advocated oy some dairymen of washing off a number of cows* udder without milking them im mediately. With easy milkers it is always sure to cause a leakage and thlB is then likely to become a habit, and no one can tell where it will end. Af ter the udder is cleansed, and the good will of the cow gained, press a few drops from each teat separately and moisten or gently rub the teat with the finger of the other hand. This will aid greatly in drawing the milk, especially with a hard milking cow. While going through with this process, the pail should stand to one side. Do not wet the teat with milk. Take hold of it with the whole hand if possible, but when it is too short use as many fin gers as you can. Never milk with tho finger and thumb if it can possibly be avoided. Milk the two front teats first, as they can be milked evenly. It is claimed by some that if the front quar ters give less milk than the hind quar ters the front can be brought UP to the hind ones by milking one of each to gether. I think, however, that the re verse of this is true. Let the milker raise the hand high enough to fill the teat with milk, bold it with the fore finger and thumb, press firmly on the teat with the other fingers in their or der, and be sure to have the finger nails short. Let the milk be drawn as quickly as possible for if not a loss will follow, and always be sure to get the last drop. Keep all sores from the teat by judicious treatment. Prevent any excitement of any kind, unduly loud talking, unnecessary changes of position or anything unusual that may distract the cow. Let everything be done quietly and in order. I believe in stabling the cows to milk them, and in darkening the stable, and if need be covering the cows with a light cover ing to keep the flies off. And finally, treat “boss” as an esteemed and val ued friend. Mrs. Kabelac on Fowl language. Man with all bis superior Intelligence and inventive genius must now take a back seat in the matter of language to the common barnyard fowl of the world, says Southern Fancier. For centuries this noble lord of creation has tried to found a universal lan guage without success, the nearest ap proach being Volapuk, the invention of that accomplished linguistic student. Rev. Dr. Johan Schleyer, of Baden, Germany. Fowls have long since mas tered the knotty subject for as Mrs. Kabelac boldly asserts they possess a general language. Says she: “Take a fowl from Japan and one from Eng land, and then one from France, one from America. Set all these, suppos ing them to be hens. When the chicks hatch you will hear them calling to the Tlnies in the self-same notes, the same punctuation, well, the same words. Throw some egg crumbs down when these chicks are, twenty-four hours old. you will hear a simultane ously and exactly similar call from all four hens to their chicks. It is an other cry, another punctuation, an other series of notes, another sen tence which they will pronounce. If they have not been fed on too much egg they will accentuate the call in an excited shrill way. This evidently means that the food is extraordinarily nice, for the chicks rush in a great hurry when they hear this peculiar tall, even if fed a few minutes before. A hawk sails over, the four hens utter an exactly similar note, supposing they have all seen it. if not one lakes the alarm for the other. What is the re sult? The chicles fully comprehending | this peculiar cry, never heard at other I times, but only evoked by the presence of a hawk, rush away from their mother, hiding under brush or In some place where the hawk cannot catch them in its swoop* Should the hawk shcceed In carrying one ot them off you will hear a most despairing scream, perfectly unique, from the mother of the victim. The other un bereaved mothers do not utter the same cry. Unless a chicken is carried off you will not hear this cry. la not this language? The same sound, oc casionally differently accented to de note Intensity or the reverse, always used to convey the same idea by differ ent Individuals and understood by all.” Abolish the Feed-Trough.—The feed trough, or, rather, the feed hopper, that Is kept full of food, is the lazy man’s method of feeding, and it is not only expensive, because it induces the hens to eat at all hours of the day, but it causes them to fatten and become sub ject to disease, thus diminishing the supply of eggs. When feeding the hens with grain, let It be scattered wide, which not only prevents the greedy hens from securing more than their share, but compels all to hunt for it, thereby taking exercise and remaining In better condition for laying.—Ex. What Alla the lien? This is a question that is often asked, and I am sure can not always be cor rectly answered. For Instance this last week I had a hen that was sick. The symptoms were these. She was much Inclined to stay on the roost and refuse food. The feathers on her head would stand up almost straight, giving the idea that the fowl was being sub ject to some sharp, thrilling pain. Her eyes also seemed to Indicate internal pain. But her comb was red, and she showed no Bign of indigestion. When out of doors she would stand nearly straight. Altogether her look was that of a healthy but. uncomfortable hen. Now what would our doctors have de clared to be the matter with the fowl? I said indigestion—constipation. But I was wrong. I killed the hen and dressed her. Then the mystery was uncovered. I found two lumps of hard material; they proved to be cysts that had formed over two sharp wires that had been eaten by the hen at some time, evidently far in the past. One of these cysts was in the external portion of the gizzard, out of which the wire had worked. The elzzard had crown un under the wire, and the latter was pushing its way through the flesh of the hen. The sharp point of the wire on the outside of the gizzard was not covered by the cyst, but was left bare to act as a probe in cutting away a pas sage for itself. The cyst was formed around and behind the wire. It was one of those admirable provisions of nature for the casting oft of undesir able foreign matter. Another wire and cyst were found Just under the breast bone, Just under the skin, and there is no doubt that in a little while it would have been able to get through and out. The cyst was nearly half an Inch In diameter. The moral is that we should be care ful that our fowls can not get at such things as sharp nails, wire, pins or tacks. I am.glad I killed the fowl, and I am sure that no fowl doctor could have diagnosed the trouble. Mary Ann. Hatter at a Lori. Think of a man making butter that costs him 12 to 14 cents per pound and swapping it at 8 and 10 centB per pound for groceries at the country store. Think of him selling cream to the creamery, and never stopping to think, study or read an hour in a month as to the kind of cows he ought to have for the business, or the proper way to care for them in order to get the most cream. Think of a man blindly plunging along in these old ruts of farm practice for years, never caring to read what other men are doing who are successful and making money in the dairy business. Think of a man doing all these things, as thous ands are doing, and not caring enough for his own profit to invest 100 cents a year in a dairy paper that is wide awake to his best interests all the time, and worth every week ten times Jts cost.—H. C. Carpenter, before Min nesota Dairv Association. A Hog Cholera Outbreak.—A recent outbreak of hog cholera near the Twin Cities, when there were no diseased herds known to lie within a hundred miles or more, may prove a valuable lesson if properly understood and util ized. The outbreak referred to was in a herd that was in fine condition; it. was housed, fed and cared for in every way in a first-class manner, and the health of the animals was excellent. In a manner that we have not space to de tail it was learned thut the disease was communicated to the herd by a man who came to the place from a dis tant infected district, who had been among diseased hogs, and without change of clothes or other precautions went among this healthy herd and left the germs of disease there that will probably destroy it. There is no ques tion about real hog cholera' being in fectious, and that it may be easily and unsuspectingly transmitted, as in this case. The moral of this is:.Allow no stranger to visit the pens of healthy hogs; or still better, do not let him come on the place unless he can give ample assurance that he could not by any possibility have been in contact with cholera hogs. Hogs must be pro tected rrom this contagion as the mem bers of the family would be protected from smallpox. Up to date this is all that can lie done to stay the dread plague, and therefore every possible precaution against its spread should he taken.—Kami. Stock and Home.
