k-A a y I' v ' I . "v M YOUNG AT FIFTY. I HOW A METHODIST MINISTER CARRIES HIS YEARS. From tho Times, Oswego, N. T. Probably no mtin Is better known or more highly respected In Oswego, N. Y than tho Hov. William Young, of the Methodist chinch. Mr. Young holds n responsible position with the Oswego City Savings Hank, where he has been on employe for the ptist twenty years. In the spring of 1S14 Mr. Young looked as if his time on earth was lim ited but, Instead of falling as was pre dicted, he soon gained a more healthy look and appeared stronger. As tho months went by this Improvement con tinued, until now he is as rugged and apparently as healthy as a young man of thirty, although his gray locks de note a more advanced nge. A Times reporter, determined to find out what had made this great change, called upon Mr. Young at the bank and put the question direct and received the following reply: "In truth I am a changed man, and I owe my present good health to Dr. Wil liams' Pink rills. In the spring of 1S94 I was all run down and had com menced to think that my time had come. I had to be prescribed for by physicians, and although I received temporary relief, the same old trouble came back again and I was worse than before. I had no strength or appetite, and physically I was In a mlscrablo condition. After my work I would go home, but the general lassitude which hung over me left mc without any am bition, and when I would go to the table to eat, my appetite failed me and I would have to leave without taking hardly any nourishment. My kidneys were also badly affected, and I was in utter despair. One day, litre at the bank, I happened to pick up one of tho local papers, and my eye fell on the ad vertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The advertisement gave a description of a man who, afflicted as I then was, had been cured by using Dr. Williams' rink Pills I was not a believer In that kind of doctoring, but concluded as a last resort to try a box of tho pills, mak ing up my mind that If they did not help me I certainly would not be In jured any. Going to a drug store I pur chased a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and commenced taking them ac cording to directions. Very soon aft r I began to feel better and I saw I had made no mistake in trying the pills, and before the first box was emptied I felt so much Improved that I Immediately purchased another. I had taken seven boxes of tho pills, and at the end of last summer I felt I was entirely cured and discontinued their use, but always keep a box handy If occasion requires. I am now entirely cured. The lassitude has left me, my kidneys are all right and my appetite well, you should sec me at the table. I am a new man again, and Instead of feeling like a man of fifty, which Is my age. I feel like a youngster of twenty, and I give Pink Pills the full credit for this great change. I have recommended these pills to several of my neighbors and ac quaintances, who have been relieved of their complaints." (Signed) WILLIAM YOUNG. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 25th day or May, 1895. BERNARD GALLAGHER, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or be had by mall from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N, Y., for BO cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50.

Suet. &Ca, Patent Solicltors.'Omahn, Neb., is found u pneumatic tiro within the tread of which the inventor has placed a pocket which is filled with a self healing composition which as soon as the tiro is punctured oozes out and au tomatically repairs and seals tho punc ture. Another noticeable device is that of a Frenchman who gets a patent for a thill or shaft composed of a series of compressed paper layers between which is-fixed a lloxible steel plate. A unique puzzle lias been patented to a New Jersey inventor, which compribes a series of transparent pictures of nota ble persons which can all be placed in one frame and held up to the light, when a curious composite picture is the result. A Michigan man obtained a patent for a composition for destroying thistles. Among the Nebraska inventors who secured patents were tho following: Emil It. Draver. Alliance, Nek, grain scouring machine and a sifter or chop grader; George R. McCoy, Osceola", Neb., combined suspenders and shoul der braces; and Henry Obermeyer, Be atrice, Neb., churn.

DAIRY AND POULTRY; INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. low Successful Farmers Opernta TliU Drpnrtment of the Fsriu A Few Hints nil to the Care of 1.1 vo Stock and Poultry. ON. Jonathan P. Dollivcr, of Iowa, delivered a ringing address in behalf of tho filled cheese bill In the houso of r e p r e sentatives. Below nro EOino ex tracts from it: I support the bill because It offers an appropriate legal protection against tho adulteration of tho people's food. In tho process of taxation it identifies a fraud and es cortB a notorious swindle into the light of day. you have read the pre cept of Scripture which exhorts you to take no thought of what yc shall eat or what yo shall drink or where withal ye shall bo clothed. That Scrip ture will need a now interpretation un less wo can in some way manage to rescue the food and drink and clothing of the people of tho United States from the hands of tho counterfeiters. As tho case now stands, neither tho clothes on our backs nor tho food on our tables nor tho common vcapons for fighting thirst between meal3 havo escaped sus picion. In this carnival of deceit the rich and tho poor alike suffer. I under take to say that this world In which wo live will not go on permanently under a system like that. It will not go on forever buying coffee gratnB delicately molded out of blue mud. It will not go on buying tea that has been generously commingled with tho dried leaves of tho forest. It will not go on drinking wlno that has been manufactured In a cellar without tho Intervention of grapes, nor those other and more pene trating beverages that havo entered Into partnership with such a fatal as sortment of exploslvo chemicals as to greatly facilitate the descent of our fellow-citizens, as tho old negro preach er expressed It, down tho lubricated steeps to tho opaque profundity of dam nation. I do not say that all the manufac turers in the present stage of the In dustry are guilty of fraud. 1 will not even go so far as to say that all the wholesalers habitually perpetrate a fraud. But I do say that the evidence is sufficient to show that the business Itself is a fraud, and for one I am here for the purpose of looking a little to the rights of the man who orders "Iowa full cream cheese" and is furnished by tho wholesale dealer with a spurious and inferior article. I am here looking to the rights of the citizens of this country who go Into a store for the pur pose of buying cheese and take home with them an objectionable admixture of skimmed milk and soap grease. I am speaking here for tho victims of the American boarding-house system who eat cheese for the purposo of promoting tho digestion of pic, and then have to take another pie in order to secure the digestion of tho cheese. The American dairymen understand this question thoroughly. Every profound student of human affairs teaches us that agricul ture is the basis of civilization itself, and that no possible prosperity can ex ist in this world tinder conditions that do not yield to the cultivators of the soil a fair return. So thnt if a new business, begotten in tho laboratory of the chemist, by false pretenses, threat ens to narrow the opportunities of the American farm by occupying its mar ket place at home or by destroying Its reputation abroad, as my friend from Minnesota indicated, and the law comes In and levies a tax on that new busi ness, it does not ularm mo that the tax may operate In some measure, at least, to promote the welfare of the most ancient and honorable occupation of tho human race. One-half tho American people live on the farm; and nearly all the rest of them that are worth mentioning were born there. The general welfare, to provide for which our institutions were established, requires that tho food-producing millions should be secure in their pursuits; nor should any adroit imposition, however backed by money, bo allowed to take from the farm any portion of Its legitimate earnings. Give tho American cow a fair chance. She has been the faithful servant of man. Sho landed with our ancestors at Ply mouth Rock; and, tied behind tho old weather-beaten emigrant wagon, she has marched, with tho household goods of the pioneers who havo taken posses sion of this country, from ocean to ocean. Sho has increased and multi plied and replenished tho earth, until today the industries which she has made possible contribute annually to the wealth of the world more money than the great combinations of modern capital more than Iron and steel, more than lumber and coal, more than cot ton and wheat, more than all tho looms of New England, more than all tho mys terious riches of gold and of silver. Iltack Langdian. I notice in tho Farmers' Review some Inquiry as to the value of Black Lang shans, and conclude to give my views of them, I have been raising them for eleven years, and for the last seven years have not kept any other breed. They are all-round good fowls, being of good size and hardy, and most excel lent winter layers. They make good mothers, and are quick to mature. Their flesh is nicely marbled, and hence they make a good table fowl. For tho month of December I sold from a Hock of eighty hens fifty-four dozen of eggs, and did not keep account of the eggs UEed in a family of nine. For the month of January I sold sixty-two dozen. As tho two months nnmnd nro not very good months for egg production, I think tho record a good one. . Mrs. Jennlo Roberts. Johnson County, Nebraska. (.'OltlllCtltlTO 1 ,11 Till p. I seo you asking for tho egg records, and as I havo not sent you a letter for a long tlmo I thought I would send you a few lines now. I do not know your object in asking for theso records, whether to compare thl9 year with last or to seo whnt wo nro doing thl3 sea son. At any rate, I will give you the strnlght of it as it is with me. My hen parkB nro fifty feet square, that Ib, fifty feet each way. Each park contains a cockerel and six or eight pullets. I havo always stuck up for tho Leghorns and Hnmburgs, still, I must say that this spring my "White "Wyandottcs havo hept in tho lead, at least until they wanted to sit. Yet thoro may be a reason for them doing so well, for my Wyandottcs nro all pullets, whllo my Leghorns and Hnmburgs aro mostly old hens. I keep tho old hena because I think they give better and stronger chicks, even it thoy do not lay so many eggs. I had to use pullets in my Wy andotto pens, ao I had no old Vyan? dottee. I have averaged In these, pens four or five eggs a day, and that, too, all the spring. For nbout two -weeks straight every pullet of my "Wyandotles laid six eggs for eight hens. My Brown Loghorns did about the same. My Ham burgs nro a little behind, laying, about 50 per cent of a possiblo hundred, tl)nt is, three or four eggB for a pen of six hotiB. For some reason unknown, poultry nro not laying so well this sen son no for some years back. This is truo of other poultry as well aB of chickens. Also the now chicks arc not showing up very fast. What are hatched out seem very strong nnJ healthy. Tho old hens are not so In clined to sit as formerly. Perhaps they havo been reading Foster's weather reports, and are putting oft business for settled weather. But there is plenty of tlmo yet, especially with the small breeds. I raised my best chicks last year in June, and soino were even hatched in September. They wero hachted in nn Incubator, and nro now laying Just as well aB the chlcka hatched earlier. The best laying my birds ever did for mc was threo years ago. Six pullets In April of thnt year gave mo 152 eggs, and then one of the pullets was out seven days. H. C. Hunt. Tazewell County, Illinois. Disinfecting Turkey Quarters. The Bureau of Animal Industry has been investigating "black-head" in tur keys. Incidentally It glveB tho follow ing Instructions as to disinfection: From our present knowledge of tho transmission of this disease it is sug gested that farmers nnd poultry raisers who havo recently had this disease In their flocks should dispose of their old turkeys and start by hatching turkey eggs under hens or with turkeyB ob tained from non-Infected districts, preferably from the south, qb this dis ease Is not known to exist there. As a precautionary measure, tho turkey roosts, especially tho accumulated droppings, should be disinfected early In the spring before the young turkeys are hatched or old ones introduced. The liberal uso of slacked lime in the yards most frequently occupied by the dis eased turkeys is recommended. A ser viceable disinfectant for buildings nnd places containing the feces of diseased turkeys is the following: Crude carbolic acId....one-hnlt gallon Crude sulphuric ncid... one-half gallon These two substances should be mixed In tubs or glass vessels. The sulphuric acid is very slowly added to tho carbolic acid. During tho mixing a large amount of heat is developed. Tho disinfecting power of tho mixture is heightened if the amount of heat is kept down by placing the tub or glass demijohn containing the carbolic acid in cold water while the sulphuric acid is being added. Tho resulting mixture is added to water in the ratio of 1 to 20. Ono gallon of mixed acids will thus furnish twenty gallons of a strong disinfecting solution, having a slightly milky appearance. It Is quite corro sive, and caro should be taken to pro tect the eyes from accidental splashing. Iteiiulres Kxiierlenrr. Stock raising is not a business that can be engaged In without experience as all those who have ventured can testify to. It requires time to grade up a herd to a high standard, such as every ambitious breeder should aspire to. But even if it does re quire time, that should notj, be a stumbling block. It is far betUe'r to take a little more time and htfve u high grade than economize time and raise Inferior stock. The tlmo has gone by when' scrub production is tolerated; every progressive farmer has his eyes opened to tho advantage of thoroughbreds, and those who get out of tho old rust first will be bene fited. Where one is able to invest suf ficient capital to secure superior ani mals at the start there will be a saving of time and profit will come in sooner, but ordinary stock can only be im proved by allowing a sufficient period of tlmo for so doing. Moreover, stock breeding Is not much more than in its infancy, and an opening on the ground floor yet remains. Among Llvo Stock. lirovru fCacliorn V.cu Iterortl. The following ia my record for March.

The experienced hunter, howover, takes no notice of them and the rats are only too pleased to sneak away In the darkness. llr-cnit Alike, but Knileil Differently. The tragedy of the sea that has Just occurred between Singapore and tho Carolines seems to surpass In horror the fnmous butchery of the "Flowery Land." Tho Maria II. had an Eng lish captain and a Chinese crew, and the crew mutinied under the leadership of the boatswain. They murdered tho captain, the mate and a negro pas senger, tied the bodies of the two officers to an anchor and threw It over board, nnd thon made prisoners of the captain's wife nnd child. Next they fought among hcmsplvns, like the mu tineers of tho Bounty, and three more wero sent after tho captain and tho mate. The survivors steamed n course to the Pelew islands, hoping, no doubt, to And a new Pltcalm. But they were overhauled by a Spanish cruiser on the way and taken to Manila, where they now lie In Jail. What would have hap pened but for that Spanish cruiser? The Bounty men went at it with drink and tho knife, until theso and other mischances thinned their numbers down to one.
