Tt is not common occurence that a friendly word should be the means of giv ing nearlv forty veara of happiness and health to the person kcaaUcg the advice it carried. This was the case with Mary Liagard. At twenty-five she was dragging out her days in misery. At sixty-one she finds herself so active and strong she can do work that would shame many a younger woman, aad looks back on thirty-six happv, healthful years of industry. But let her tell her atory : "Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble with say liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it. and they blistered my side in aa effort to give me relief. I was at that time earning my living as a tailoress. but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blisters I was in constant misery, and work was a drag to me. with no prospect of relief: fortunately for me, however, a friend advised me to take Dr. Ayer's Sar saparilla. and finally peruaded me totake regular course of "it.

DAIRY AND POULTRY. INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. Mew Successful Oaeiato TfcJs Departaaeat at lata as to tbe Paras A Few Care at Uw Stock Fealtry. The Keg Trade. The New York Sun, In an artlclo on die general egg trade, says that the trade in eggs, their exportation from ane country to another, has become a large Item of International commerce, s some recent figures show. The case of Denmark Is In point. Denmark's trade In eggs with foreign countries, chiefly with England and Scotland, has Brown enormously. Twenty years ago the annual Danish export of eggs was 500,000; now It Is reckoned at 110,000. 300. In the same period the Importa tion of eggs Into England has increased tenfold, but only a part ot the whole number come from Denmark, the two Xher egg exporting countries from which England draws its supplies be ing Holland and France. France ex ports to other countries 600.000,000 eggs In a year, and Italy exports 500, 900,000 eggs In a year, chiefly to Aus tria and Germany. The poultrymen of the United States depend chiefly on the enormous home market, and they have rivals In the export of American eggs In the Canadians, Canada ranking next to France and Italy and ahead of Den mark and Holland as an egg-exporting country. Canada exports to other countries 300,000,000 eggs In a year. For the fiscal year of 1895 the treasury figures give the total exports of Amer ican eggs to foreign countries at 151.000 dozen, which Is equivalent to 1.812.000 eggs. In the fiscal year 1896, however, the total exportation of American eggs Increased to 32S.O00 dozen, or 3,936,000 eggs, a little more than twice as much. The export figures for this year Indi cate a atlll further Increase, and a market for American eggs is likely, therefore, to be secured in what the political campaign orators are accus tomed to call, somewhat vaguely, the near future. It Is a somewhat curious fact that the weight of eggs Is mate rially larger in northern than In south ern climates. Canadian eggs, for In stance, are heavier than those shipped from the United States, and eggs In the northern states of this country aro heavier than those from the south. Old Irish Eggs. And now Ireland bas another grievance against Eng land, and all because of the eggs which the former has been sending to the lat ter country. The English dealers claim that the eggs are mora ancient than honorable, and have held a meeting to express their views. The fault is not with the hens, but with the owners, who, loath to part with the eggs, keep them so long that they are fit only for campaign purposes. Tbe result is that dealers are buying Canadian and con tinental oggs, and the Irish farmers are to be Instructed by circular that they must mend their ways or keep their eggs. Here's another opening for the American business hen. Rural New Yorker. 7j Coir Stable. Now that warm weather has again come, the cow stables may receive at tention, and be prepared more effec tively for future occupancy. New sta bles will be built by many farmers, and In such cases care should be taken to consider all things In the plans. The old ideas of what a cow stable-should be are now being regarded with suspi cion. The old style cow stable was neither light nor cleanly. One of the popular methods was and is to have it In the barn, running along one side of the barn. Above the stalls was piled fifteen feet of solid hay, and opposite was a mow of hay reaching from the ground upward for twenty-five or thir ty feet This shut off all possibility of light on the two sides. Usually the only light possible was at the end of the barn, over the great doors, and the window consisted of a single transom a foot high and seven feet long, more or less. In light days when the eun was shining a twilight reigned in the barn, but on dark days the cattle were shut In in a gloomy prison. When work was to be done the doors had to be opened to give sufficient light. Such was the cow stable of the past, and such Is largely the cow stable of today. It Is built on the general pur pose principle. It was handy, there Is no doubt about that Hay. cow and manure were all together In close prox imity, and if the cow kicked the milker there was a general mix-up. The cow's stable of the future will be a very dif ferent affair. In the first place there will be light The stable, should not be so built that all possibilities of light must be set aside on account of vast packs of hay. It is better to so build that the stable will have sunlight on at least two sides. Many are now be ing so constructed that the cows prac tically stand in a house ot their own connected at one end with the barn, where are their food supplies. This gives room for light in abundance, and with light comes dryness to the floors and standing places of the cows. It Is true that such a building will not be so warm naturally as a box barn packed with hay, but it can be made warm enough at small expense, and it Is much healthier. Health and clean liness are the principal things for which we must look out, and many other con siderations can be sacrificed to these. Shipping Cattle. Grass cattle, as a rule, do not ship well. On the pasture they look well, and many a buyer has been deceived by the appearance of a drove of steers in a grass field with full bite. To ship such cattle is a.hard task, and it Is in variably disappointing, but It has to be done. Where convenient. It Is a good plan to place such cattle In a pen and feed them hay for a day or two. The secret of shipping all classes of cattle is to place them on the cars full ot feed, but with as little moisture as possible. If you ship a steer full of water he Is apt to have loose bowels and show up In the yards badly. Properly handled cattle should arrive In the sale pens dry behind and ready for a good fill ot Water; not over-thirsty, but In good condition to water freely. Many of our shippers think that by salting their cat tle, or by feeding them oats, or by other scheming, they can fool the buyers. This is nonsense. The buyers are just as sharp as the owners, and while many of them say nothing, you often see them ride Into a pen and out again without tbe courtesy of a bid on this account Dozens of times we have seen this happen. It always acts against the shipper to use unnatural means. To eastern buyers it is a matter of great Importance that cattle should be in gODd condition when purchased, so as to stand further shipment When cat tls drink too freely they are apt to founder and break down. In this con dition the dressed-beef man can use them, but It stops competition, and as a natural consequence cattle often go below their value when in this condi tion. The same rule applies to grain-fed cattle, whether in pasture or dry lot, as to the above. Only they are much more easily handled in shipment, and do not show much distress In their changed circumstances. As to feed on the road, nothing equals good, sweet hay. It beats corn or other grains, be cause it Is easily digested and does not fever the animal. Simple methods and simple feed are the best that can be used. As to water on the road. It Is a matter to be decided on according to the weather. In midsummer care must be taken to supply animal wants, whereas, in winter a steer can go for many hours without a drink. Good management in this line also calls for the arrival of stock at the yards in proper time. From 5 to 8 a. m. is the best time In the day to appear upon the scene the nearer the latter hour the bctter--for cattle especially always look better when they are taken off the cars and have just been fed and wa tered. Then they have a bloom upon them which wears off very quickly. Many feeders would be saved bota disappointment and loss it before send ing in cattle to market they would no tify their commission house what and hen they are going to ship. Then, it the commission merchant thinks tho itock would be benefited by longer feeding, or that the prospect is un favorable for the time the feeder ex pected to have his 'cattle in, he can so advise his client, and thus save him from sacrificing his stock or getting In at a wrong time. Especially is this important in November or the begin ning of winter, when we are getting half-fat cattle that ought to have been held back 30 to CO days longer at least. No doubt many of these look all right in the feed lot and appear to have good finish, but not having matured cr ripened, they practically "go to plece3" on the cars, and in addition to loss through heavy shrinkage, the owner bas to accept a low price on the mar ket We wish every stockman would follow out this plan of giving notice a day or so ahead of the time ho expects to ship. It works both to the advan tage of the shipper and seller. The lat ter, being on the market every day. knows just what the market wants, and can judge pretty closely of near prospects. He is thus able to give hia client the necessary advice and In formation he should have before ho sends In his stock. Sheep in Kansas. At a TTnnosia fieri ml tn ml rnnrpntlnn reported for The Farmers' Review H. M. Kirkpatrick talked on how and why Kansas should raise sheep. In the eastern part of Kansas blue grass has obtained a firm foothold and gives a good pasture to sheep and other ani mals. In the western part of tbe state the grass is shorter and is large ly buffalo grass. Experience in raising sheep is probably moro valuable than in most any other kind of stock rais ing, for the experience obtained in the raising of other animals is not of much value in teaching how to keep sheep. I have never known a man that made a success of sheep raising abandon the business. The most Important thing in sheep breeding is the location; breeding even Is a lesser considera tion. Sheep will not lie down in mud, and if your barn Is not clean and dry they will not lie down in it but will sooner seek a snow-covered knoll. Con fining them to enclosures is less diffi cult than many suppose. I never knew one of them to Jump a barbed wire fence. A sheep that has not been taught to creep will be easily stopped by a fence of four stands of barbed wire. If they have learned the trick they will creep through the wires, as their fleece is a protection against the barbs. It is true that sheep are great scavengers, but they will not make a profit if they are forced to live on weeds and briars. Give them good grass and they will also eat more weeds. It has been said that a sheep can be kept as cheaply as a hen, if the hen be kept as she should be. Colorado Creameries and Cheese Fac tories. There are nearly 100 public creameries and cheese factories in Col orado, besides a number of skimming stations run as auxiliaries to the larg er plants. The butter and cheese trade of Colorado amounts to $5,000,000 an nually and it is to be regretted that considerable of this money is paid for bull butter made in Chicago. A new creamery in Powers county made a report which will serve very well as an illustration of what other estab lishments are doing. During its first year 1.C66.248 pounds of milk were re ceived, for which the creamery paid $7,403.40 in semi-monthly payments. The output was 48,000 pounds of good butter. The creamery is now receiv ing milk from 400 cows, and this num ber will steadily increase says the Farm and Home of Denver. Dairying in South Dakota. The peo ple of South Dakota are just beginning to appreciate the Importance of the dairy industry. In 1S90 not a cream ery was in operation anywhere in South Dakota. In 1893 there were five creameries, which produced 374,400 Pounds of butter worth $67,392. In 1S95 the number of creameries had in creased to thirty-five, the product to 2.629.8C0 pounds, and tho value to $471,744- Last year the number of creameries had risen to 145, the prod uct to 11,600,000 pounds, and tho value to $1,088,000. Already in 1898 no fewer than twenty-five new creameries aro in course of building or have been decided upon. It is estimated that by the end of the year there will be in operation at least 200 creameries. Ex. Suggestions for Orchardlsts. For an orchard a north slope Is better than a south slope, but a south slope Is better than no slope at all. In win ter the freezing and thawing dries out the trunks of orchard trees, which can draw no nourishment from the frozen soil, and that causes bark rupture. The fruit grower ought to know something about the insect and fungus diseases of plants. Both need careful study, and in dealing with them the -ruit grower should follow carefully prepared directions, and the work must be done at a fixed period in the growth of the plant He must observe certain prescribed rules and conditions. H. M. Dunlap. A white horse that has not been properly bedded Is a sorry sight When tho mistress of the house Is required to ride behind him there is no wonder that some women get tired of farm ing. It is unjust for the patrons of a cheese factory to demand that the cheesemaker produce a pound of cheese for every ten pounds of milk delivered to him. The light breeds must have a big yard if they are to do well tor a long time. Heaestr Is The San Jose scale has caused a treat deal of discussion In this country, and more or less hard feeling among saea that on would suppose above such feelings. The San Jose scale Is a peat of the first magnitude, as has been proved by its ravages In the orchards of California. Wide areas of citrous fruits were destroyed by them. It Is therefore natural that the appearance of the scale on this side ot the Rocky mountains has filled the fruit growers of this section with alarm and has caused both the agricultural journals and tho entomologists of the several states and of the nation to repeatedly warn the people of the danger and to urge all to watch for it and to assist in Its destruction. Tho agricultural journals have aot failed to take their place in the ranks of the enemies of the scale. As Is al ways the case, there are here and there men whose business Interests are af fected by the scale, and those do not want the subject agitated. They say that it might possibly decrease the sale of nursery stock if people became alarmed as to the scale. They have even advocated that agricultural papers that publish much on the scale be boy cotted in their advertising. Two or three small papers have even advised their advertising patrons to do this, telling them that the said large ad vertising papers should have more con sideration for the interests of their ad vertising than to publish reports that might result in less sales. This sort of reasoning is very weak. If the pa pers do not warn the people and the people do not stop the advance of the scale, what would be the result? The scale would soon get a foothold in all parts of the country and the business of tbe nurseries would be ruined, for peoplo would cease to buy. We know the history of the black-knot on the plums. Previous to the advent of the black-knot from Europe there were fine orchards of plum trees all over the country, especially in New England and New York. The black-knot came without warning. The people did not know how to fight It, and no effective measures were taken against it In a few yeara It had swept like fire all aver the country and had obtained a foothold In every locality. Then what became ot the trade in plum trees from the nurseries? We have no statistics of the relative amount of sales of plum trees, but as people quite generally for years gave up trying to produce plums it may well be supposed that the sales were small. This pest could have been i checked had It been taken in time, as I we are now dolne with tho scale. PeO- pie must be kept Informed of the serl- ousness of tho situation. Honesty is the best policy even in fighting the San Jose scale. We can not stop the ad vance of tbe scale without money from the treasuries of the states. So far both the general government and the states are doing something in this di rection with probability of doing more in the future. This has been a part of the result ot the agitation by the agri cultural press. Another result has been that fanners and others have be come Informed as to tbe scale and how to distinguish it and have been able to report infested localities to the proper authorities and thus bring about the checking of the pest before it has been able to get beyond control. The full truth must be told relative to the San Jose scale as well as to every other pest Early UlinoU Orehardlne;. The early settlers of central ant southern Illinois were neither a fruit eating nor a fruit-producing people. They depended upon the forests for their supply of fruit. The children gathered tho blackberries, grapes, plums, persimmons and paw paws. A few more enterprising had peaches. They were seedlings as a rule. Peaches were peaches to the pioneer. As the country developed, some of the farmers began to plant apple sprouts and seed lings. When the chief end of the applo was cider or vinegar, it made little dif ference what kind of an apple they ..ad. Tome who had been used to bet ter fruit, brought grafts with them. On our farm are some apple trees about sixty years old which still show the point of union betwen the stock nnd the scion. Many of the early va rieties thus developed were unsulted to our soil and climate. All of the orch ards were small and only intended to supply the family. This was the state of orcharding In Illinois up to thi building of the Illinois Central Rail road. Alvin C. Bcal. Components of Casein. Before the Paris Academy of Medicine, M. Be camp gave some account of the experi ments he had been making in regard to discovering the casein in butter milk and found that chemically it dif fers from all other albuminoids with which he has experimented. One of its properties is, when burnt pure, to make no ashes. He experimented on burnt casein, not with the view of coming to the conclusion he now enun ciates, but to an opposite one, namely, that there Is no phosphorus in casein. In a number of experiments he found that absolutely pure casein contains 7.53 parts of organic phosphorus. He has also demonstrated the presence in casein of sulphur, and therefore decides that this substance is made up of car bon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen and sulphur. Elgin Dairy Re port Value of Millet The value of millet lies mainly in the fact that it can be sown late in the season and will ma ture quickly and furnish a large quan tity of fodder. If somewhat late in the season it 'is found that the corn crop is a failure, or -that the meadows are not going to give enough returns to pay for cutting them, the land may be plowed and sown to millet. It must not be sown until danger from frost Is passed. Where corn can be grown it will produce a larger quantity of val uable material per acre than will mil let But where for any reason it be comes necessary to make use of some catch crop to increase the fodder pro duction, then millet may be used to advantage. Ex. Brood Sows. Brood sows should have large, roomy lots to exercise In and good, warm houses to sleep in, and not too many In a house. Do not feed them too much corn, but give them more slop. Just before farrowing time give them each a separate house and lot, cut off the corn feed, feed bran mash and a little oil meal. Note the results. Ex. The violators of the oleomargarine law claim that they are much Interest ed in having the public sold a cheap substitute for butter, but they do not hesitate to take as high prices as they can get for their butterine, selling it often at the price of butter and under the name of butter. It is our experience that It does not pay to crowd hens together in a small bouse. Nor does it pay to crowd them together in a small feeding yard. TRIALS OF SALESWOMEN. lira. PmUuun Says Standing StQl 13 One of Woman's Most Trying Tasks. Have yon ever thought why it is that so asany women or girls rather walk for an hour than stand still for ten minutes? It is because most women suffer from sorao derangement of their delicate organism, tho discomfort from which is less trying when they are in motion than when standing1. So serious aro these troubles and so dangerous to health that the laws in some states com pel employers to provide resting places for their female employees. But no amount of law can regulate the hard tasks of these women. Cus tomers are exacting, and expect the saleslady to bo always cheerful and pleasant How can a girl be cheerful when her back is sailed by lassitude and bearing ter how sweet tempered she is way under the pain after a while, want-cross and snappy salcswo important capital, and no one can be If yon are ill or sufFcring, write Lynn, Mass., and tell her all about her; she has heard it many thousand Without doubt, Lydia E.
