I FROM GRiP Or. Williams' Pink Pills Have Cured This Form of Debility in Hundreds of Cases. "Four years ngo , " says Mrs. P. Mor- Jrlsou , of No. 1922 Carson street , South Side , Pittsbnrg , Pa. , "I took a cold which turned into the grip. This trouble left ine all run down. I was thin , had "backache much of the time , had no ap petite , my stomach was out of order and I felt nervous and unstrung. "While I had the grip I had a doctor , tut I really suffered more from the con dition in , which the influenza left me than I did from th e disease itself. I f el t generally wretched and miserable and the least exposure to cold would make me worse. I couldn't seem to get auy "better until I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I very quickly noticed a benefit after I began taking them and they restored me to good health and strength. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks to them I am now in flue health and have had uoreturu of my former trouble. I recommend the pills to everyone who is ailing and take every opportunity to let people know how good they are. " Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs. Morrison because they actually make good , red blood. When the blood is red and healthy there can be no debility. The relation between the blood and nervous system is such that the pills Lave a very decided action upon the nerves and they have cured mnuv severe nervous disorders , such as partial pa ralysis , locomotor ataxia and St. Vitus' dance , that have"not yielded to ordinary treatment. Their double action , on the blood and on the nerves , makes them an ideal tonic. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , or they will be sent by mail post paid , on receipt of price , 50 cents per box , six boxes for § 2.50 , by the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Oo. , Schenectady , N.Y.

Mayer Factory , of Milwaukee , Uses 415,012 Annually. Steers , Cows , Calves , Goats , Horses , Sheep and Kangaroos , Contribute to One of the Greatest In dustries on Earth. . In the mad Tvhirl of business , people rarely pause long enough to consider the little things of life and how close ly they are identified with the greater ones how inseparable , in fact , they are , from and how essential to them. Take , for instance , the shoe business did ever anyone ponder long enough to realize the wealth of actual energy and animal life expended in the prod uction of footwear for the human -race. race.As As an example , take the Mayer Boot and Shoe company , a Milwaukee con cern that it in three hundred working days has consumed no less than 415- 612 hides of all kinds during the past twelve months. Here , then , we have the hides ot 60,298 steers , 31,163 cows , 55- 704 calves , 196,846 , goats , 67- 599 sheep , 2,523 horses and distributed by the great Mayer factory with in the period of a year. Stand these animals in a straight line and they would cover a distance of 351 miles , nearly one-sixtieth of thb earth's circumference. To bring this live stock to its final point of destina tion , required no less than 3,000 26- loot cars , which strung together would cover over 15 mites of railroad track. It takes the hides of nearly 1,500 ani mals daily to supply the demands of this monster shoe enterprise and were all of them spread out at one time , It would require an area of 5,000,000 square feet to accommodate them. Nearly 1,000 skilled artisans are employed by the Mayer cempany the , year round making the Honorbilt shoe lor men , "Western Lady for women , and the celebrated Martha Washing ton comfort shoes ; also school shoes that wear like iron , and work shoes lor all classes and purposes. The to tal capacity of the Mayer factory is 6,000 pairs of shoes a day. The equipment - , ment of this factory is as thoroughly modern and up-to-date as money ana I ej perience can make it. Another de cidedly favorable feature Is that of lo cation , which is in the greatest leather , xnarket in the world , thvs enabling the company to secure first-choice on products consumed. The uniformly excellent quality of all shoes turned -out by the Mayer ractory la largely at- trifcrftd to this fact. - Corn Root L.OUHC. Time spent in killing Insect pests must usually be set down , as so much time lost from the constructive work of improving the tilth of the soil , and attending to the other needs of the crops. Occasionally , however , an im proved system of cultivation gets rid of our Insect enemies at the same time. This Is conspicuously the case in the method recently proposed by Prof. Forbes , of Illinois , for destroying the corn root louse. The pest works havoc to both sweet I and field corn. The small brown ant attends the louse and is responsible for carrying It about the field. Pro fessor Forbes found that by using a disk harrow one to three times early In the spring , before the corn is plant ed , from SO to 95 per cent of the ant * and corn root lice are destroyed , and no further treatment Is required dur ing the season. The peculiar virtues of this remedy are that it is simple , effective and good for the corn , since the soil is thereby put in a better state ' of cultivation. Safe Chicken Coop. It has been proven by statistics that the raising of chickens is the greatest Industry in the United States. Of course this includes those who are In this business on a large scale for prof it , and also those who probably keep a half dozen fowl In the back yard. Nevertheless.wheth- er for business or pleasure , chicken raising is an inter- esting pastime that appeals to every body. It is claimed that chickens should have as much care as a human being to insure the best results , and modern methods certainly tend in that direction. The chicken coop shown here is a good example. It is simple , effi cient and durable. As shown here it is rectangular in form , being made of sheet metal. The top and sides are bent to shape , with flanges at the bottom tom which connect with the flooring. At each side are supports which hold the coop slightly above the ground , tending to keep the coop moisture- proof and preventing rain or other pwater from entering. At each end are .perforated doors , which are very easl- | ly held In position. At the bottom of each door is an extension , through ' which passes a rod , the latter extend ing through the top of the coop and also into the ground , preventing the coop from being displaced. In this way the fowl are rendered safe against the attacks of animals. "Windfall Apples. "What to do with the windfall apples IP a problem that gives the owner of every large orchard considerable con cern as tic time for picking apples ap proaches. Where one is provided with an evaporator or is so fixed that he can convert this defective fruit into vinegar , the problem is comparatively simple. But where neither method of disposing of this product of the orchard is possible it is a question what is the best thing to do. An effective method of disposing of such apples and one which gives a certain return is to turn droves of hogs or sheep into the or chard periodically and allow them to clean them up. This not only disposes of the apples , but the worms as well , as such apples are usually wormy. In any case it Is best to remove the windfalls - | falls from beneath the trees , and if ( they cannot be disposed of in any of 'the ' methods suggested it Is best to put them on the plow land with the manure turn them under. Routing Crab Grass with Clover. Crab grass is like the dog In the manger , it kills out every other stem of green grass and then turns brown itself. It makes a coarse and ugly cover in the lawn and the Individual who attempts to eradicate it by dig ging and cultivation may be entirely without a lawn for two or three years. If anything can get the best of crab grass in a fair contest , it is white clover. In a number of lawns in Wash ington and elsewhere white clover has furnished the means for a final vic tory over crab grass. The white clov er gradually invades the area of crab grass , replacing the latter with a close , dark-green carpet. Some-Made Kerosene Emulsion. The amateur can make this very eas ily : Take of hard soap half a pound and dissolve In one gallon of boiling water ; then add two gallons of kero- jsene and churn thoroughly for ten min utes. The efficiency of the preparation depends upon thorough mixing. This stock mixture is diluted four times r for scale or up to twenty times for lice. t Qhe stronger dilution will have one gallon of kerosene to sir and a half of water. Where the water Is very hard , one gallon of sour milk to two gal- Ions of kerosene. f At Weaning : Time. At weaning time there is not so- much danger of losing the pigs as of checking their growth. The pig Is not -yet a hog , and he can hardly subsist as the hog does. A good deal cf nour- Ishment In liquid form Is needed , and also some tender grass. It does not cake much grain , but they like a bit of outs , wheat or corn. Their teeth cannot handle much that is 1 ftrd ; hence .softening it by soaking will bJ beneficial. Sweet milk ami middlings Avarmed with hot water will appeal + o their appetites at weaning time , auvi 't need not be made as strong as when fed later. It is generally known that sour milk should not be given. Field and Farm. , j Dry Farming. I The Campbell system of dry fann I ing , which was first tried In the semiarid - arid portions of Xo'rth Dakota and I abcut which much has appeared in newspapers and magazines within the t past year or two , Is doing great things for many portions of the Western I States , where with a rainfall of but ten or twelve inches per annum bumper crops of corn , wheat , beets and other crops can be gro\Vn. This system of crop culture is based en the conserva tion of practically all of the moisture in the soil through a dust or surface mulch , and under it as high as forty I bushels of corn to the acre have been I grown in North Dakota , fifty bushels of wheat per acre in western Nebraska , while better than twenty tons of beets have been produced in Colorado. While this method of crop culture has little value in those portions of the country v.'here there Is an abundant rainfall , it does have a tremendous import in all territory where there Is fertility in the sell , but an annual rainfall of less than twenty inches. _ _ Sheep the Market Demnndn. Says a Western writer on sheep : The market calls for sheep with a da- ! : face and legs , and a close Recce is ai advantage. There never has been a lime when a fair profit could not be obtalut-ci from the keeping of shocji. Tiiero are in the world to-day 90,000.000 lower sheep than twelve years ago , s r.d the consumption of mutton and wool is rapidly increasing , hence it is safe to conclude that sheep to the farmer is a safe proposition. Do not start on a large scale ; begin low and work up. The Western farmer does not like to do this , and you are no exception. You have never planted the apple because you did not expect to stay to eat the fruit. You must rush on and do big things. Do you not know that in th > animal as well as the Vegetable world rapid growth means rapid decay ? Plant j tliis live stock business and then give ; it time to strike its roots deep down , \ and after it is fairly rooted allow the top to grow. Care of Orchards Pays. Fruit growers about Saugatuek , Mich. , have been busy trimming their apple trees , says Country Gentleman. Ten years ago they were thinking of cutting them down and setting out peach trees. To-day every half-dead tree is trimmed , and if there is not enough manure , fertilizer is bought for these half-dead trees. Six years ago one of Saugatuck's young farmers mar ried a Chicago girl who used to spend her vacation there. She loved country life , and was a subscriber to agricul tural magazines. Her husband's or chard was just like the rest , untrimmed and had never been sprayed. She made him buy manure , trim the trees , plow and spray. Two years ago he began to hire his neighbor's orchards. Last year he was the only one who had ap ples to sell , and cleared $2,000. Grow Feed on the Farm. The Massachusetts State crop report contains an article by Prof. F. S. Cooley on "Some Causes Affecting the Profits of Dairying. " On the subject of feed ing dairy cattle the professor urges that feeds be produced on the farm as far as possible. Usually the best prac tice is to purchase only feeds rich in protein and raise the coarse fodders on the farm. Cows fed on starvation rations yield no profit , and those over fed with expensive feeds are also kept at a loss. The point of highest profit in feed must be determined by experi ment and calculation , and varies with the locality and circumstances of the feeder. Easy Way to Get Rid of Stumps. A method of getting rid of stumps which has been highly recommended J and which , to be effective , should be j done now , is as follows : Bore a hole one or two inches in diameter and about eighteen inches deep into the center of the stump. Then put into this hole one or two ounces of salt peter. Fill the hole with water and plug it up. In the spring take out the plug , pour in about one-half gal lon of kerosene oil and light it. The stump will smolder away to the very extremities of the roots , leaving noth ing but the ashes. Farming. Improving the Herd. Select as far as possible females which conform to the standard of ex cellence of the breed. If this is accom plished It will Insure a uniformity in type that is highly desirable. If in ad dition to this it Is possible to select cows and heifers that are similarly bred they will be more likely to pro duce uniformity In their offspring. Care of Machinery. Thousands of dollars' worth of farm machinery is now being shipped into the country that will never again be protected from the \rather. This exposure means an appalling financial loss to the farmers , since it re duces fully one-half the period of use fulness of an Intricate machine. When buying your new Implements , promise yourself that you will provide them shelter and the best of care. Make your arrangements for housing before you purchase. Summer rains are as de- structlre as whiter snows. Income la Bljr. It U Impossible to fix the exact In come ' of the Pope , because the sources by which his settled income is largely augmented ; are subject to great fluctua tion. Such is the annual subsidy -illed "Peter's ponce. " and the thank offerIngs - Ings which he receives every year from all ; parts of the world. It is thought probable \ by authorities who have the best means of judging that , taking one year with another , the average annual Income * of the Pope cannot fall short of $3,000,000.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. How a Veteran Wn Saved the Ara- patatlon off a Limb. B. Frank Doremus , veteran , of Roosevelt velt Ave. , Indianapolis , lud. , says : "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mustered out of the army , but in all my life I never suf fered as In 1897. Headaches , dizziness and sleeplessness first , and then dropsy. I was weak and help less , having run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain In the kidneys and the secre tions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until It was 34 inches around , and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it , and then he advised amputa tion. I refused , and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually , the urine became natural and all my pains and aches disappeared. I have been well now for nine years since using Doan's Kidney Pills. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. , Buffalo , N. I. What's the Bill Good For. On the car the other morning I hap pened to hang by the strap next to Bimmelstefn's. Between begging par dons of and granting pardons to my near neighbors , I managed to read a few paragraphs in my newspaper. One of them told of a remarkable find by a Nippur expedition of the University of Pennsylvania. It was nothing less than a well preserved and thoroughly authenticated tailor's bill nearly 5,000 years old. Since Bimmelstein himself is en gaged in the clothing business , I thought he would be interested in this ancient relic , so I told him about it , but the story seemed to make no im pression on him. "Hang it , man , " said I , "don't you understand ? It's a tailor's bill almost 5,000 years old. " "Veil , " he answered , "vot iss it good for ? Dey can't gollect it. " Brooklyn Eagle.

I am sixty years old and an old soldier , and have been examined by the Government Boacd over fifteen times , and they said there was no cure for me. I have taken all kinds of medicine and have spent large sums of money for doctors , without avail. A short time ago I decided to try the Cuticura Remedies , and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap , two boxes of Cuticura Ointment , and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent , two treatments In all , I am now well and completely cured.
