Y. , says : "Five years ago I had a bad fall and it affected my kidneys. Severe pains in my back and hips became constant , and sharp twinges followed any exertion. The kidney secretions were badly disordered. I lost flesh and grew too weak to work. Though constantly using medicine I despaired of being cured until I began taking Donn's Kidney Tills. Then relief came quickly , and in a short time I was completely cured. 1 am now in excellent health. " Sold by all dealers. HO cents a box. Foster-Milluirn To. . "Buffalo , N. Y. Mip.xli Uisdnlu.

With her gaze fixed upon the stag * she watched the progress of the play , in different to the gaycty around her , except that her delicate , aristocratic , finely chis eled features bore a look of weariness , : nd a scornful smile curved her lips. At last , however , she turned her head t slowly and looked at the other members of the party. Then she spoke to the elderly matron sitting by her side.

It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative , and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians , as it is free from all objection able substances.

The idle hoe tells the story of a ? iveedy 'garden. Be slow about making promises ; then you won't have so many to break. Transplanted lettuce grows larger t than that which remains where If was sown. An exclusive diet of corn will prevent hens from laying ; so will an exclusive diet of anything else. The odors in thft dairy barn can nearly all be absorbed by plenty of dry earth or laud plaster. Trying to run a farm without ma nure la like trying to run an automo- biJ < 3 without gasoline. Whether it is sunshine or rain , the good dairy cow is always busy turning a proiit for her. owner. Milk twice a day and milk at regu lar times if you would obtain the best results from your herd. Putting the best foot" forward means putting up a bluff. THe only success ful men are those who get there with both feet. Chicken * In the orchard pick up thousands of insects , worms , etc. , v.'hict would prove injurious to the trees and fruit. The furnishing of fancy farm-made cheese affords an opportunity of mak ing great profits from the dairy if prop erly conducted. Starved land cannot grow good crops. Provide the elements which the crop needs and harvest day will be a day of rejoicing. Alfalfa takes a tremendous amount of moisture out of the soil and is not as good for an orchard as some other Jess voracious plants. A good brood sow must have largo capacity for feed , because it requires a great deal of feed to keep her milk- producing machinery going. Truck crops suffer least' from fungi in seasons that open with a cool spring and end with a very hot summer , with rainfall below the average. Scab , foot rot and liver trouble ami catarrh are all induced by lack ot thrift. Lack of thrift is induced by lack of care and lack of feed. The man who has no bad habits , never makes mistakes and never fails to say so is too good for the company of ordinary mortals and should be let alone. If you are raising ducks without a swimming place for them , be sure to have the drinking pans deep enough BO they can get their heads entirely un der water. . The feeding of dairy cattle affords the dairyman an opportunity to save all of the manure made by feeding out his crops and return it to his fields for fu ture use. Open sheds facing the south furnish the best roosting quarters for turkeys. You cannot raise turkeys successfully In confinement. They must have a wide range of field. The building of a silo enables the dairyman to save all of the valuable food elements contained In his corn crop and get the most profit out of feed- rag it on his own farm. A few days of pasturing on the stub ble fields after the grain is cut anfl out of the way will provide considerable good feed for the stock and will be a good thing for the field. To make the most out of sheep they must be kept for a series of years. Some years they will return a much setter profit than1 in others , but it is hatd to sell out and buy at the right time. Artichokes are in some little demand In city markets during early spring for pickling. They must be fairly smooth , uniform and large , and washed very : lean. A few produce dealers handle them. Sixty-six Percheron horses recently sold at Sioux City , Iowa , for an aver- ige of $40G."iO each. One stallion > rought $1,210. Be sure , however , that hese horses were thoroughbreds and lot scrubs. Don't haul your hogs in tight box vagons. The loss of one hog by over- leating will more than pay for a panel ack for the wagon. Money Is well In- ested that provides greater comforter or the stock. A neat sign' bearing the name of the arm placed near the road so that It : an be read by passcrsby gives ehar- .cter to your place.

In ] jic"iU'j a ianzc k't cor.3 characteristic of tlio place receive KD A fruit grower in the Hood Rive * valley , Oregon , recently sold forty boxes of winter banana apples at $12 a box. Last year this crop amounted to lOo.OCO boxes and brought an aver age of $1' per box. A large majority of gardeners an < ! farmers never properly estimate the ad vantage of thinning their crops. If strictly adhered to the yield woaW b& greatly increased and the quality greatly improved. A Texas banker has proved to his own satisfaction that ulfalfa is a good hog feed. With an investment of $30 for three sows and six shoats he says he made $1,500 in three years vat hog raising and the only feed the hogs re ceived was alfalfa pasture and a little waste kafilr corn around the feed lots. Sheep a.s Keasi.s oi Durden. In the northern part of India sheep are put to a use unthought of In European - i pean or American countries. They are , made to serve as beasts of burden , be cause they are more sure-footed thaa larger beasts , and the mountain paths along the foothillsltof the Himalayas are steep and difficult. The load for each sheep is from 1C to 20 pounds. The sheep are driven from village to village , with the wool still growing , and in each town the farmer shears as much wool as he can sell there and loads the sheep with Use grain which he receives in exchange. After his flock has been sheared be turns it homeward , each sheep having on its back a small bag containing the purchased grain. "Wanted Products. At this time a tourist through Texai sees one peach orchard after another overloaded with fruit. It is not possif i ble to either consume it or to sell it ! all fresh. In places the ground is al ready covered with peaches. Now , the , only means of saving such precious J surplus is to cither dry the fruit or ! preserve it. The "people of the South , ; largely because of the great abun dance of it , have always suffered se rious waste at this point. It is the same of the potato crop , peanut crop i and other crops. Everything of value i slionld be saved in some way. It [ should be preserved for future use or j for a future demand of the market : that may be overcrowded during the j rush of the different products to the ! consumers. .It should be the desire j and the constant study of every Texan to save the waste here or there. Dal las News. IJevrn.ro of tlio Big It is common every now and then to read an account lit-some newspaper of ; one of the subscribers bringing In an extraordinary large egg into the office of the editor , and the aforesaid editor ( at once.heralds the news as though it , was of great public importance. Such i eggs are important to the poultryman , inasmuch as they are danger signals. They tell of an unhealthy condition of the hen that laid them. No strong , healthy hen will lay either a double- yolked egg , a round egg , a badly shaped egg or a soft-shelled egg. Some thing is wrong with the hen that lays anything different than a regular shaped egg. Instead of rejoicing at these extra large eggs , there should he cause of regret. At once the mat ter should be Investigated and the genf eral condition of the flock should bo looked into. If it is found that they all or the majority of them , are heavy , It is well to cut down the quantity of the carbonaceous or starchy foods and increase the nitrogen material. Ornngre Culture in tlio North. Botanists in the employ of the United j States Department of Agriculture hope to bring into being an orange tree which will be as sturdy as the apple tree ; an orange tree that will not perish In the chill of northern winter , which in De cember will l > ear its wreath of snow and in May its garlands of bloom , and when summer comes will yield fruit as good as that sweetened in the south sun. sun.This This may ceem to be an unnatural proposition , says the Technical World , jut it only seems so. No violence upon the laws of nature has been or will be attempted. It is simply an effort to make the citrus tree which bears the sweet table orange as hardy and insen sitive to cold as the citrus tree which bears the bitter , uuedible orange. By crossing a citrus tree which grows In Lhe north and which bears an unedible rniit with the citrus tree of the south it is sought to beget a plant in which ivill be combined the good traits of jach. Government botanists are confident : hit : the results of this citrus marriage , vill be a ? clon that will grow and fruit it a latitude midway between the lorthern limits of the sweet and tha ) itter orange. If this should be , there night be orange proves in Central Vir- rlnla. Middle Kentucky , Southern Indi- na , Southern Illinois , Central Mis- irmri and Central Kansas.

Dci-ivc.s Revenue from Dis graceful anil Uiihenl Iiy Tenements. Trinity church is the holdc. ' of one of the greatest cst.itis in New York erin in the country , says Charles E. Itus- sell in Everybody's. It owns in the city property worth , according to differ ent estimators , from St-0.000 : ! ! ) ( to $100,000,000 , from which it draws an enormous revenue , the amount of which is never made public. For many years no investigator has been able to obtain any more definite knowledge 01' these mutters than that tni.s is the wealth of Trinity which she holds for good purposes. JIo\v comes it that on the east side of New York have been built in recent years bright , clean , fire proof and sanitary fiats , in such num bers that ce. in regions have becii transformed by them , and life for those that dwell in them has been change' ! from dirtiest misery to something a I most suggestive of decency , while Trhi ity has done nothing of the kind ? How comes it that the Astor estate , owner of hundreds of tenements , has pursued for years one settled policy of improvements for the benefit of the tenants , and the Trinity tenants have been left to shift for themselves ? The Astor estate maintains no chari ties , it has no missions , no hospitals , no beds and no Sunday school extensions ; yet I am perfectly certain that the bal ance of actual good in the world is ki its favor ; I am perfectly certain that to obliterate one .court that breeds tu berculosis is better than to spend $70- 000 a' year on organ music , and that to provide a tenement with fire escapes is better than to preach a sermon of re mote and genteel theology. The man agement of the Astor tenements indi cates what even a small measure of civ ilization can do in the midst of barbar ous conditions ; the management of the Trinity tenements shows what callous neglect can do to further and aggravate barbarous conditions. To be sure , all tenement houses are bad , I know that ; all tenement houses are terrific indictments of the condi tions of grab and gain and splendor and shame that we tolerate. And if the tenement , speaking gener ally , works ill , Trinity's tenements must be a matter of grave concern to us all. Trinity's tenements must work more than common ill , for they are the worst tenements in New York. A Pictureitjiic Hero. Not many months ago the redoubt able insurgent chief , Boris Sarafoff. a Macedonian patriot , was killed in Bul garia. Sarafoff has caught the public eye not only by his daring insurrections , but also by his romantic and pictur esque personality. A handsome joung fellow of not more than 30 years , with bis red sash , nis long cloth leggings and his small-tas- seled cap , he suggested a dash of the mountain brigand as he harried the Turks to massacre the Christians. " thsft is Indifferent "We have seen Europe different to bloodshed in Macedonia , " he declared. "We will try the experi nient of seeing If Europe will not stir when European capital and European lives are made to suffer. " Th's ' popular patriot gained a power ful hold on his followers , and they gave him all he asked. He pressed his people so hard for contributions that they sold their cattle at ten shillings a head to satisfy his demands. To Hold Him. Nan That's a beautiful solitaire Dick gave you.
