WORLDS DIsPENsARY MEDICAL Asso-
CIATIoN: Gentlemen-FOr years 1 have
been a great sufferer. My trouble first
started with terrible ague and chills
and constipations. This left me in 1878
with q racking cough and frequent
bleedings from the lungs. since this
time 1 have been continually doctoring,
consulting physicians without number.
From them received no benefit or en-
couragement. The most noted ply
sicans of our city who last visited me
expressed their opinions In the brief
but hopeless words, 'Take good care of
yourself the few days you have to live,
we cannot help you." l grew steadily
worse under their treatment. One day,
through reading your Memorandum
Book 1 learned of the Golden Medical
Discovery. With but little hope of re-
lief, purchased bottle and took it.
70 my surprise and satisfaction 1t did
me more good than all the drugs 1 had
taken the year around. l am now
steadily using 1t with benefit and re-
commend 1t to all 70 be just what 1t is
advertised. Sincerely yours,

APPLEs.-Apples should be perfectly
dry when taken from the trees and
kept so until stored away for keep
ing over winter. When picking
use oval-shaped half-bushel baskets.
The basket may be kept on the arm or
u high stool near by, or both, being
careful TO put none into the basket but
sound, smooth fruit and of fair size.
When the basket is full carefully pour
them in the bin, and when that is full /,
or at night, cover with boards to keep
off the sun and rain. Continue the opera
ton OF picking during dry weather un-
til done. Never cover the apples while
in the orchard with straw. 1t makes
them too warm, and there is no danger
OF the fruit being injured by the frost
antil.Quite late III the season. They must
be kept dry and shadedirOm The sun. To
keep nicely a dry, airy, light cellar and
scrupulOusly clean is absolutely neces
sary. The sides and ceiling OF the
cellar should DC cemented with plaster
10 keep an even temperature OF cold,
and the bottom of the cellar cementeG
with waterproof cement TO keep out
the dampness. There should be one or
more windows on opposite sides OF the
cellar 10 give free circulation OF air
when needed. These should be of glass
and supported by hinges at the top SO
that they may be opened and shut as
circumstances require.

AGRICULTURE.

SfUBDLE-FKLDe.-B stuhbles are
often left to become nursery for
weeds, and the worst of our c0mmonest
weeds are thus multiplied and perpetua-
ted. Rag weeds, ,amaranths, pig-weeds,
beggar's s.ticks, and even thistles are per-
miIted to overrun the fields as soon as
the crops are removed. and are even
seen surrounding the pOtatOe-tops and
hiding these from sight. 1 have seen
cOrn-stalks from which crop OF green
ears have been taken and left to remain
on the ground until these weeds out
grew them and overtopped them, ripen-
ing seeds and stocking the ground with
supply sufficient for a score of years
of hard work. ] don't know OF any
other business In which a man wastes
his labor so much as in farming, and
by neglect causes himself so much fu-
ture work or expense. 1t Is thus not
only in regard to weeds. but with in
sects of all kinds, which are permitted
to increase and multiply by myriads
until either One-fourth Of the crops
are destroyed by them, or the crop is
saved only at the cost OF one-fourth its
value. Some Of my neighbOrs insist
that it is useless to fight against weeds
or insects, that they are natural to
the ground" and spring out Of it spon-
! taneously and without seeding or bree-
ding. In the same way dairyman once
would have me believe that the mag
gots in cheese originated naturally
from cheese, and secuted the advice
that he should keep the flies out OF his
curing-room, on the ground that the
flies had nothing to do with the mag
gots. And yet we sometimes hear that
farmers can never learn anything from
agricultural colleges or experiment sta
Iiors. The trouble is, that farmers who
have these ideas do not read, observe,
or exercise their common sense,

Unpleasant Experiences of "Pinafore"
Company in Colorado.

Mr.. Haverly's Chicago "Pinafore"
troupe has just passed through u most
unpleasant experience after Il most
prosperous season. After profitable
engagement mt Leadville, which is
sort of theatrical FL Dorado, they UNI
dertook to reach Georgetown by way of
the Loveland pass The snow on either
side of the coach road was about TWEEN
ty feet deep, and their wagons were re-
peatedly upset, the result being the
constant and promiscuous immersion
of tenors, sopranos, altos and bassos.
On the first day they made fifteen miles
in twelve hours. The men tried their
luck on foot, and the glare of the sun
blistered their faces terribly, although
they wore double wells. On one occa-
sion free and enlightened but drunken
citizen introduced himself into one of
the wagons with n loaded revolver and
drove the legitimate occupants out at
the mouth of the weapon. Fortunate
~ the driver was u practical man. He
knocked the intruder into the snow
with the butt-end of his whip and sat on
his head, reducing him to immediate
subsection by this summary process.
The party finally reached their destina
ton after three days trip, too late for
their engagement, half famished and
utterly worn out Two of the party lost
their lives. but they were mules.

Hay Caps.

Ctr eastern farmers, who are most
careful in haymaking, and with whom
hay is more valuable than in the west,
think highly of hay caps. They cost
little and last years if cared for, and
not left to mldew and rot. Stout cotton
cloth or sheeting II yard and quarter
or half square makes the best. String
ut the four corners two feet long, with
\ stone tied to each, or light stake will
prevent the wind from blowing the caps
of. We have found them useful, but
where one handles large crops the force
employed can be So divided or centered
rs the case may demand, rs to keep the
field well cleaned. When cocks OF
half-curcd hay are thrown up and caps
put on, they must be moved as soon
after the shower As possible, to allow
the free escape of gases. Hay will mold
under caps sooner than without them.
They are especially useful TO protect
against \ sudden shower or when hay
must be left atield some days they may
be employed to prevent bleaching from
sun and dew.
