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

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

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

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

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

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

follow out this plan of giving notice a

and can judge pretty closely of near

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
