A COnquernble NTnIndy.

In spite of all assertions to the contrary dys- pepsia even in it's worst and chronic form is disease which can be conquered. Obstinate as 1t is. it will ultimately yield to tho invgorative and alterative actions of Hostetters Stomach Bitters. That superlativey pure and efiicacious specific possesses a reputation fully warranted by the effects which it produces, which arc not transient and tleeting, but permanent and thor ough. All that isrequired to render cure com plete is persistence i'll tho use of this standard medicine, which s infinitely to be preferred to tho numerous pseudotoncs which merely stimu- late appetite without strengthening or regulat- ing tho organs of digestion in any marked de- gree. Besides its stomachic properties, Hostel ter's Bitter5 possesses anti-frebre virtues which constitute it valuable remedy in malaria, and is superb blood depurent and aperient.

She consented to make the attempt, and succeededy it is claimed, in going without solid food or .Tster. 8@ sAfrty-6He days. Hke folAdSsSS EEO &fyGSMtdR tfB &XANa10Q of the fast she weighed 96 pounds. Her physician thinks it would be fair to assume that she lost at least 8 pound a day during this ordeal. Her system was not entirely without 'hohrisHmgnlft, how ever. Her body was washed tYise yi every
 day with fresh water, and she was pro vided with two pounds of beef tea, which yasl administered Snj the fpefp, IT }, Iof app app
 During the first week her sufferings were intensS, and! Adet1e for food and water was drhostAissseasistiible. She was troubled with nausea, and vomited fre- qpently.s At tAeiend qf two weeks she seemed to have acctstomed' herself to the new condition of things and to have acquired better self-control. She be- came also more cheerful and less fretful and nervous. She took little exercise, and spent most of her time in bed She was closely watched by her physician, to determine whether her powers of en- durance were sufficient to sustain her in the effort. Her loss of flesh and strength was uniform, and her condition other wise was at no time alarming. Miss De- hart said that she never lost her longing for food, but that she did not experience painful uneasiness and longing after the first week. She believes she could have continued her fast under these circum-. stances week longer, but this was not deemed necessary by her physician. She broke her fast with four oysters which she ate raw. Shortly afterward she drank @ quantity of water, which her stomach rejected. Next she swallowed some beef tea which was retained without any diff culty. She then drank quantity of milk, with lime water. On the second day after ending her fast she ate quar- ter of pound of beefsteak SO slightly broiled that it was almost raw. On the third day. she resumed her ordinary diet, being prudent merely in choosing her articles of food. She is rapidly regain ing her weight and strength. She claims that the ulcers seem to have entirely and she is now hopeful of being entirely restored to health.

BorS AND DuCKs.-One bright morninc
IN February, rs Il manly looking boy O
fifteen came to me and said:
:" want to get pair of Pekin ducks
but have no money; will you let me
have pair and take the pay in work?
will do anything that Il chap of NV size
can do. ''">
The boy was stranger, but liked his
looks and his willingness to work. So
answered: "Of course will" and stared
for the yard to pick out the ducks
Better git the work afore We let him
have the ducks said one of the neighbor,
who happened to be in.
DO you know anything against the
boy?" ''' ''''
" l don't know notlIin' agin him, but he
belongs to the jackson tribe that moved
onto the old Smith farm, his father i.
lame and his mother is pale, shiftlcss
lookin' critter, and allowed that the oalS
warn't much, they are allus fussin' over a
bed of posies and sich trash; they had
better be workin' out, there's plenty tb,,
want gals, and | reckon money ain't over
and above plenty in that family"
" like the boys looks. and will trrst
him." answered '''
Then it'll be the last you'll ever see of
the ducks or boy either; mind what I tcIl
ye," and Mother Mooney nodded her orav
head quite emphatically as she picked mn
her basket and marched off. Poor oil
soul! she has lost all her faith in human
nature.

Com FoDDER-.M. Editor Il will
send you the results of my trial in ascer-
tanning the waste in corn fodder. The
stock left onc-eighth part of it, giving
seven-eighths of good feeding material
The following table will give the value OF
one ton of well secured fodder as my ex'
pertinent showed, calling the orts Ct equal
value with straw for bedding and AS an
absorbent, and the rest the same value a
good hay: s ton, 1850 lbs, at $40 pei
ton, SS.75; Is ton, $50 lbs. at IS per ton
60 l-2 cents value of ton. 80 81 l2 cents
If farmers would take as much pains with
their corn fodder as they do, or should dc
with hay; taking care to cut it at the right
time, which is much earlier than many
cut it, aud pack it properly in the barn
hey would find it valuable food for then
stock.-C0r. ". Furmer.

THINGS | HAVE NoTICED.-I have no.
tic.d that there are farmers who are afraid
to trust their farms and their farms show
it.
| have noticed that there are farmers
who feed their mOwings spring and fall,
and usually a considerable portion Of their
barn room can be rented.
| have noticed that some farmers plant
no corn, saying they Can buy it cheaper
than they can raise it, and have seen their
cattle look as though they had waited a
long time for their owners to raise money
to buy the corn.
! have noticed that some farmers hor, es
have Il habit of stopping at every liquor
saloon they have come to- | have no.
ticed also that the horse and driver re-
semble each other in this respect: each
wears staring oat.
! have noticed that the man who can
manage his own and his neighbors' bust
ness successfully, is the coming man. AT
any rate he has not arrived yet.
h; We noticed that some farmers swear
with their tongues, and some with their
milking-stools. The cows prefer the for
mer style, but the devil don't care which.
l have noticed that poor fences make
unruly stock and bad neghbors.
| have noticed that il a team gets '',et, 5
it is better economy TO take n ptrt of the
load from the wagon than to take part Of
the flesh from the horses
| have noticed that it is COOL plan to
take notice Of the good and the bad,s that
we may follow whatever is good and shur
that which is bad.-Rec0"d and Far mn.

The Pig IN AGRICULTURE.-Th PIG
has recently been spoken of in contenl ri
when compared with other domestic ami.
mails. But if we examine his good qnali-
ties at all cri ically, we must award him a
high place in our agriculture.
lie is found 10 yield 4 pound Of produce
from less food than either cattle or sheep,
and is. therefore, the most economical
machine to manufacture our corn crop
into marketable meat. Our people are
becoming wiser every year, and exporting
less proportionately OF the raw material,
and more of condensed product. If il
takes seven pounds of corn on IN average
to make pound Of pork, as it is no doubt
the case, the farmer begins to see the
great economy of exporting one pound oil
pork, bacon or ham, instead of seven
pounds Of corn. The difference in cost oil
freight makes Il fine profit of itself; be.
sides, the pound of meat is usually worth
more than seven pounds of corn in the
foreign market. The production of POI
should ne encouraged on the further con-
sideration that it carries off less of the
valuable constituents Of the soil than beef.
The fat pig contains only three .fourths as
much mineral matter per hundred weight
rs the steer, and only two iiflhs as much
nitrogen per hundred weight; and there.
fore the production of a ton of pork on the
farm will carry off only a little more than
half the fertility carried off by ton OF
beef; besides, II ton of beef will require
nearly fifty per centum more to produce it.
This gives in round numbers the compar-
alive effect of producing pork and beef.
1t is thus evident that the pig should be
lostered in every way, his capabilities
studied and pushed, his diseases carefully
noted and prevented, for he is the most
profitable meat producing animal on the
farm. The pig is an excellent adjunct to
the dairy, turning all the refuse milk and
whey into cash. As he is king of our
meat exports,so let us treat him with great
.-lfoorc's Rural.

With Mother MONEYS "mind what
tell ye'' still ringing in my ears. picked
out a pair of the finest ducks on the place
for nv boy customer. and gave him lots
of good advice concerning their care.
When that boy started home with his
ducks in that basket, he was probably
about as happy as the average boy ever
expects to be in this world. "I'll be back
Monday sure" he said. as he shut the
gate.
Monday came; likewise the boy; every
day afterwards that boy walked the three
miles that stretched between the "old
Smith farm and my place, and orked
with will until his debt was Cancelled
after that l saw no more of him until
after Christmas.
"Well, sam, what luck with the ducks:"
| asked.
First rate" he answered.
Tell me about it. How many eggs
did your ducks lay and how many ducks
did you raise?"
my ducks laid seveniy-nine eggs;
sold half dozen of them to Mrs. French,
and set the rest: didn't mean to sell any
eggs. bat had to sell few to buy feed. |
got fifty-nne young ducks from the eggs
set, and raised every one of them; didt
| do pretty well for beginner"
Indeed you did," replied. " What
did you do with the ducks you raise?
I've got four of them now. and | kept
the old pair. am going to raise lois OF
them next year. And sold seven pairs
to the neighbors; the rest we dressed and
sent to market
How much did you get for them9"
I've got $500 pair for those we
sold alive. and those we sent to market
brought $50 So the feathers brought IS
more; that makes Si4.50, don't it? Take
out the IS l paid you, and the Sll,SO that
the feed to raise them cost. l tell you |
lad to scratch around pretty lively to get
enough to feed them on after the young
ones were about half grown; l picked
berries and sold them. and hoed corn some,
and cut up old Mrs Flint's wood pile, and
dug potatoes. and husked corn, so kept
them going until sold them"
There, boys, have given you Sans
first experience as a poultry raiser, and if
any of you can make better showing |
would like to hear from you.

VEGETABLrs.-AIiss NJ. Parloa, in her
new book on First Principles on House
hold Management and Cookery" gives
the following general rules for cooking
all kinds of vegetables. Green vegetables
should be thoroughly washed in cold wa
ter,and then dropped into the water which
has been sailed ami is just beginning to
boil. There ,hould be tablespoonful of
salt for every two quarts Of water. If the
water bolls Il long time before tie veTeta-
bles are put in, il has lost all its gases, and
the mineral ingredients are deposited on
the bottom or sides Of the kettle, so that
the water is fiat and tlsteless; then the
vegetables will not look nor have n fine
flavor. The time for boiling vegetables
depends very much upon the age and low
long they have been gathered The
younger and more freshly gathered the
more quickly they are cooked. Below is
II good timetable for cooking vegetables
Potatoes, boiled, thirty minutes.
Potatoes, baked, forty-lve minutes.
Sweet potatoes, boiled, forty-fiye min
utes.
Sweet potatoes, baked, sixty minutes.
Squash, boiled, twenty inmates.
Squash, baked. forty-iive minutes.
Green peas, boiled, twenty to forty
minutes.
SheIled beans boiled, sixty minutes.
String beans, boiled. one TO Two hours.
Green corn, twenty-five to sixty min
utcs.
Asparagus, fifteen to thirty minutes
Spinach, one 10 two hours.
Tomatoes, fresh. one hour.
! Tomatoes, canned, one-half hour.
Cabbage. tllree-fsurths to two hours.
| Caulitlower, one to two hours.
Dandeiiuns, two to three hours.
Beet greens, one hour
Onions, one to two hours.
Beets, one to five hours.
Turnips, white, forty-tiye to sixty min,
utes.
Turnips, yellow, one and one-half to two
hours.
Parsnips. one 10 two hours.
Carrots, ie to two hours.
Nearly all these vegetables are eaten
dressed with salt, pepper and butter, but
sometimes small piece of lean pork is
boiled with them and seasons them su(Iici-
emily.

CROPS IN ENGLAND.-The Mark Lane
Express annual crop returns, from AL
correspondents, representing every county
in England fully confirm the worst
accounts regarding the serious failure of
the crops. The ETpres, says: The
returns are the most discouragine we ever
published. Of 429 districts from which
returns were collected, not one has pro.
dueed a wheat or pea crop above the
average. Only two represent barley
crop, and only six bean crop as over
the average. Oats are the only crop that
is not thoroughly bad. An examination
of ten years tables will show that we have
had worse oat drops and as bad bean
crop, but for wheat barley and peas. there
has been no year of the ten, and we mi ght
90 farther back, nearly so unfruitful. Even
with respect to oats and beans, if weight
and quality be taken into ACCOUNTING year OF
the ten has given such bad results. As to
wheat the disastrous failure of the crop is
most strikingly shown by the fact that
only four out of 420 returns represent it us
up to tine average

WOVEN AIR."-The Decca muslins of
India are among the most wonderful evil
dences of the hand-skill of the strange
people of the mysterious east These
fabrics, which are spun and woven entire
ly by hand and are the product of obscure
and curious processes, unknown to and
unattainablc by the western nations, like
the fabrication of Damascus steel and the
making of camels hair shawls. are mar.
wells of ingenuity and skill, and illustrate
the poetry of cotton. The most delicate
of these fabrics is known by the name of
" woven air" 1t can only be made in the
early morning and in the evenings. when
the air is fun of moisture and the dew is
on the grass. The processes by which it
is woven ARE kept secret, and the people
WHO do the work are compelled first to
pass through II long course of training and
initiation. Their delicate waves are OF
such ETHEREAL texture us to be almost invis
iblo, and yet are so enduring that they
will bear washing and wear in wonder

olized for the use OF the oriental harems
and is said to be worth hundreds of dollars
per yard.
