De Long, of Na 160 West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found herself suddenly attacked by rheumatism in the winter of 1896. She gave the doctor a chance to help her, which he failed to improve, and then she did some thinking and ex­ perimenting of her own. She was so successful that she deems it her duty to tell the story of her escape from suffering: "My brother-in-law," she says, "was enthusiastic on the subject of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a purifier of the blood, and when I was suffering extreme pains in the joints of my an­ kles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor was giving me no re­ lief, I began to reflect that rheuma- tism is a disease of the blood, and that if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are s:> good for the blood they mu3t be good for rheumatism and worth a trial. "I was in bed half the time, suffer­ ing with pain that cannot be described to one who has never had the disease. It would concentrate sometimes in one set of jolnft. When it was in my feet I could not walk; when it was in my elbows and wrists I could not even draw the coverlets over my body. I had suffered in this way for weeks before I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two weeks after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was en­ tirely well. To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then stopped altogether. For sev­ eral years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I have rec­ ommended them to bthers as an ex­ cellent remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish the blood with all the elements that are needed to build up healthy tissue, strong muscles and nerves, capable of bearing the strain that nature puts upon them. They really make new blood and cure all diseases arising from disorders of the blood or nerves, such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous prostration, anemia and all forms of weakness in either male or female. They are sold hy all druggists. Curious Maine Elm Tree. Over in South Brewer, Me., ttaera is a curious elm tree.

A recent traveler in Mongolia writes: "On arrival in camp a sheep is killed for the stranger's benefit It is worth going to Mongolia to eat ihutton, which is unlike any other in my experience. No traveler who ha:i written on the country fails to men­ tion it. Missionaries, Protestant and Catholic alike, refer to Its succulence. The method of killing sheep is curi­ ous and unpleasant. The animal is tnrown on its back, when the butcher makes an incision in its belly, into which he thrusts his hand, where he presumably severs an artery, as death ensues and the carcass is suf­ fused with blood. He then takes a ladle and transfers the blood to a re­ ceptacle at his side. No drop is spilt!"

Post to Publishers at Banquet at Battle Creek The sunshine that makes a business plant grow is advertising. Growing a business nowadays Is something like growing an apple-tree. You may select good seed, plant it in good soil, water and work with it, but the tree will not produce" fruit until arother and niost powerful, energiz­ ing and life-giving element is brought • bear. You must have sunshine and lots of it. Can you expect to ripen apples in the dark? Can you expect to grow a profitable business plant nowadays wltnout the sunshine of pub­ lic favor produced by advertising? This Postum plant is a good illus­ tration of that law. It seems but a short time ago when I put a few men at work in the carriage house of the barn you have seen to-day, where we tfegan making Postum coffee: The seed then planted, less than 9 years ago, was a new kind of apple seed and it was not altogether certain how the people would like the apple r,. We did .pur work thoroughly and plenty of It. We knew we had a good Some thoughtful man might say that if what you manufacture nas merit, once you get a trade established peo­ ple will continue to purchase, even if the advertising is stopped, but to act on that conclusion would be a fatal mistake, for .there are always bright men on the lookout to steal your ap^ pies, and if you give them the chance they will come in and take the fruit, sure. Right here let us drive a nail, not a shingle nail but a forty penny spike. Your article must have merit, 'far and away beyond.the ordinary ur- advertised thing. It should be the very best that humantintelligence and ingenuity can produce. Then you have a foundation to build upon that will not slip out from under when the building grows heavy. There are per­ sons ignorant enough to believe that a poor article can be advertised into a success. It cannot and any one who tries the experiment will pay heavily for his experience. Critically examine any well known and advertised article that has been years on the market and Pure Food" Factories That Make Postum and Crape-Nu apple tree of fine quality but how to develop our work and turn the apple tree into a productive and profitable tree was another question. It needed sunshine and the kind of sunshine that is spread by the news­ papers and magazines. It is an abso- ' lute certainty that without the pub­ licity thus given--in other words, the sunshine--the business never would have developed. You have seen to-day factory build­ ings--thirteen or fourteen in number --covering many acres of ground, em­ ploying hundreds of workpeople, pro­ ducing food and drink in an aggregate of four million packages per month, which goes to every civilized country on the globe, and yet thu entire enter­ prise is less than 9 years old. We have found it necessary, inasmuch as the tree has grown and the apples ma­ tured by hard work and sunshine, to continue the work and the sunshine day in and day out, month in and month out, the sunshine appropriation amounting to approximately a million iollars a year for advertising, for ex- v : peripnoA teaches that If you mature i^*_the tree under strong sunshine, and ° bring it up to a thrifty and healthful, state where it produces profitable ap­ ples, you can not withdraw that sun- it wiU be found to possess except0***! merit. In ancient days newspaper publish­ ers considered an advertisement an *vil but a necessary evil, and that it should be hidden away as carefully a^ posslole, bo that no one would dis­ cover that the paper was trying to make a little money by inserting pub? lie announcements. A paper run that way to-day would fail. i Tho most successful exponents - of the new plan of doing business with ink and paper are using every possi­ ble means to make the announcements attractive and sought after by the readers. It is safe to say that thousands of women read the newspaper--not the telegraphic page, but the pages con­ taining announcements of bargains in stockings, skirts, hats, gloves, pianos, furniture, food for the table, etc. You have been invited to visit Bat­ tle Creek for the purpose of viewing one of the most unique advertising buildings in the world, also to look over a large business built up, sus­ tained. nourished kept active by sunshine, and, at the same time, have an opportunity to see one of the most thrifty, active and prosperous towns of its size in the world, built up larg» 8ome Fertilizer Points. A press bulletin from the Ohio Ex­ periment Station says: For the clay soils ot eastern Ohio, especially those which lie upon and are largely derived from shales and sandstones, phos­ phorus is the element first required in a fertilizer, and until this is 'sup­ plied neither nitrogen nor potassium can be used with economy. Phos­ phorus, however, will only produce its -full effect when associated with abun­ dant supplies of available nitrogen and potassium. ^ When, therefore, the land has been depleted of its humus by exhaustive cropping, the use of phosphorus alone will not produce maximum crops. Our knowledge con* cerninjg the soil requirements of those parts of the state where the under­ lying rock is limestone Is. very in­ definite, and there is some reason to suspect that on such soils potassium may occupy a relatively more import­ ant position in the fertilizer than over the sandstones; but even here it will generally be found that phosphorus is essential to the fuli effectiveness of the fertilizer, and that a feupply ot available nitrogen- must either be found in the soil, in^he form of abun­ dant humus, or else must be supplied in manure or nitrogenous fertilizers^, before the maximum of crop produc­ tion is reached. The investigations of the Illinois Experiment Station have shown that on black, mucky soils, where the supply of humus is in ex­ cess, potassium . may be the controll­ ing factor in crop production; hence on such soils special attention should be given to supplying this element, either in manure or in potash salts. It does not appear that, within the range of ordinary farm cropping, the kind of crop plays as important a part in determining the composition of the fertilizer as many farmers have been led to believe. It is true that legumi­ nous crops* such as clover, beans, etc., require less nitrogen than the cereals, potatoes," etc., and it appears that corn and potatoes are able to utilize organic nitrogen, such as that of ma­ nure or. black soils, to better advan­ tage than wtypat or oats; but the fact that a particular crop may show a higher percentage of nitrogen or po­ tassium in its composition than others n}ay simply mean, as it does in the case of nitrogen in the leguminous crops;, that it possesses a superior ability to obtain this element from natural sources. The attempt, there­ fore, to prescribe a special fertilizer for a -special crop, without reference to the^soil and the system of cropping must be regarded as lacking a scien­ tific basis. Egg Production Variation. When hens are investigated as thor­ oughly as dairy cows they will be found to vary as greatly in their abil­ ity to produce eggs. We have as a people gone on the assumption that a ben was a hen. That was true, but sometimes she has proved to be noth­ ing more, so far as egg's are concerned --not even a layer. But we are only now beginning to find that out. The dairy cows have been investigated as to their ability to produce butter cheaply. Some were found that made butter at a cost of eight cents a pound and others that made butter at a cost of 70 cents a pound. The hens have been investigated as to their ability to produce eggs cheaply and some have been found that produced eggs at ten cents a dozen iu wipter and others at a dollar a dozen. A good many hens, like a good many cows, are more profitable dead than alive. We will never get very satisfactory work done in the line of experimenta­ tion till we are able to keep hens by themselves and know for a certainty the record of each hen and be able to watch each one in all respects.' There are hens that are almost non- producers of eggs. In the ordinary flock they mingle with the others and are always healthy. They would make admirable potpie, but the owner feels that he cannot dispense with any of his layers. There are other hens that are not attractive looking, yet if they are kept by themselves they will be found to be great egg producers. Very often egg producing gets a fowl out of shape, and this very thing leads to her being killed off for the table when she should be retained. Feeding Grain to Cows on Pasture. Many years ago I tried feeding a small amount of grain food to cows while they were on pasture, and I was so well satisfied with it that the cows on my farm which were giving a good flow of milk have ever since been fed a grain ration equal to about one-half of the usual winter ration, consisting usually of equal parts of ground oats and corn and bran. I found that, al­ though it might not always immedi­ ately increase the milk flow sufficient to pay for the extra feed, yet with cows of ^strietly^dairy type, which were almost sure tp milk down Very thin and poor on grass alone, It would enable them to keep up their strength and condition, so that they did much better-in the fall and following win­ ter, for having been fed grain while on pasture. I think they also did bet­ ter the next summer, because they were in better condition. Whether it will pay a man n<tw with the high price of grain, to feed it in summer depends on the type of cows and the ability and skill of the owner as a dairyman. If the cows are not of strictly dairy type and the man who handles them is not a first class dairy­ man it will not, in my opinion, f)ay to ieed grain on good pasture. 1 have known of some men, who have been very successful in dairying who did not pasture at all, but ,fed their cows all summer in the stables on green for­ age crops, with some grain, letting them have the run of a small field for exercise, with a grove where they could lie In the shade and take com' fort. In this way many more cows could be kept on a given number oi acres and the income of the farm greatly increased^ Of course, it took more work, but these men say that they can not afford to pasture good tillable l$nd worth |80 to $100 an acre:--C. P. Goodrich. -- In a healthy condition must expect to keep their quarters clean, both in the houses and the yards. He must watch not only his own herd but the herds of his .neighbors. As soon as cholera appears in his neighborhood he must establish a rigid quarantine, not only against his neighbors hogs but agains their cats, dogs, rats, mice, hens, chickens and even visitors. A man must he hard-hearted at such a time, and too inuch tenderness has result­ ed in many a man losing his hogs by the dread disease. Many neighbors Will perhaps be offended if they are not allowed to come from disease-in­ fested herds to visit and examine the hogs that have not yet become affect-, ed.

In the breeding of swine the first thought should be, of the health of the herd. Little use is It to build -an expensive plant for the care of the hogs and to purchase expensive ani­ mals to go with the plant unless extra­ ordinary precautions are to be taken to keep diseases away. We have more to contend with in tnis line than in the raising of any other kind of stock, for there is no other class of farm stock that is susceptible, at least in this country, to such a fatal malady as hog cholera. The keeping of the swine healthy is a matter of details. and many men seem absolutely unable to master the details of a business. 1 The bugs and worms are eaten by the The man that aims to keep his swineA %wls and the grass forms a handy Some Guinea Hens. Guinea fowls have been raised on American farms for a long time, but they probably have never received more attention than they are to-day receiving. Guinea fowls are easily and cheaply raised when they are given their liberty, as they are great foragers and prefer to hunt their own support if possible. The females are quite prolific layers, and it is reason­ able to suppose that at some time their eggs will sell well in the market. Their smallness and brown color mili­ tate somewhat against them at the present time, as the buyers do not know the eggs. Well enough to demand, them. It may well be believed how­ ever that if they were so common that they were constantly obtainable in the market they would soon be in demand. Where there is a flock of these fowls the housewives spbn learn to use their eggs for high quality cooking. The hens try to hide their nests, which ar6 simply little holes In the ground. In these they lay numerous eggs. The birds however have the habit of the common hen In publish­ ing abroad the fact that they have laid an egg as soon as that act is per­ formed. The result is that it is not at all difficult for the owner of the bird to find out her laying place. Every poultry fancier should have a copy of the American Standard of Perfection and learn to judge his tfwn birds. Then he is little likely to send to the show any birds that will score very low. < Opportunities for Poultry Raisers. To the farmers living within twenty or thirty miles of the large cities there are always opportunities that should prove very profitable. Great hotels are always ready to take 'con­ signments of poultry and eggs pro­ vided the consignments can be made every day the year round. One Chi­ cago hotel was for some time trying to find a farmer that would furnish 25 dozen eggs a day at 25 cents a dozen. The contract was too big for any one of them to take. There were farmers that would agree to furnish 25 dozen of eggs a day through the laying season, but they could not promise to keep it up throughout the year. The knpwledge of how to pro­ duce winter eggs is so lacking gen­ erally that few have the temerity to base a contract on the ability to do so. Few American farms have the equip­ ment necessary to produce 300 eggs a day, even if the laying habits of the fowls are ever so well apportioned as to season. It will pay our farmers to so equip their farms that they can take advantage of the very profitable opportunities that so frequently pass by. In the old > mythology Father Time has a lock o.f hair on the front part of his head to signify that who­ ever would make the most of time must be abfe'to seize the opportunity as it comes and not as it goes. The farmer that is ready for the opportun­ ity before it comes will generally find the opportunity coming his way. Poultry and Orchards. It is frequently asserted that or­ charding and poultry raising go to­ gether. This perhaps Is true on a small scale, but we can hardly con­ ceive of a great commercial orchard comprising hundreds of acres of land being made also a poultry range. In such a case the combination would.be overdone, as the shade from the trees, being constant, would militate against the health of the fowls. On a small scale the combination is a happy one. A Temperance Problem. "Ollie" James, the gigantic Repre­ sentative in Congress from Kentucky, tells the following story of Col. Jack' Chinn. Like all Kentucky gentlemen. Chinn had in his time been a loyal Kentuckian, and a consumer of the liquid for whicli the state is famous. But on one occasion the Colonel swore off. The fact of Chinn's rerormatlon was not known to all at the time; so certain of his friends who were dining him at a Louisville restaurant, one evening were much taken back when in answer to the usual query, the colo­ nel stated that he would take a glass of water. "Wfcat does this mean 'Jack'?" gasped one of the party. "Merely this," replied the colonel, "i ve been doing a little figuring lately, and I find that I am about fifteen years, behind on water." adjunct to the feeding operations. The grass is not wanted anyway in* the orchard and if the poultry cat* keep it down so much the better., It will then not be necessary to evefl run the Weeder over the ground to keep the weeds from becoming a nuisance. The plum orchard is a . very good kind of orchard in which to keep poul­ try, as the limbs of the trees do not shut off too much sun from the birds, vve have seen poultry yards of small size, in each one of which was a sin­ gle plum tree growing and thriving. There is no reason why trees in such locations should not prove to be very fruitful. They are certainly sure of oot becoming grass-bound. Alfalfa is proving to be a rery vme- Ful feed in the West, where it is used sxtensively. On it both beef and mut­ ton are produced of sufficient quality to go directly to th§ market without the animals receiving grain for the Inlshlng lemphas. - • Every housekeeper jmould know that if they Will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will saye not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because eftch package contains 16 oz.--one full pound--while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack­ ages,, and the price is the same, 10 cents.
