Mr.. w. Ii. II, Amidon, one Of the
first settlers in the town of Gilman
town, Wis, and one of the most IN
dustrious and hard working men in she
country, has been very severely
troubled with rheumatic pains during
the past few years, SO much at times,
that he was disabled from performing
manual labor. Learning Of tho won-

Jacobs Oil he procured a few bottles
and experienced immediate relief.

FOOD CURE.--In no better, way can
good health be preserved or restored
than by paying careful attention to
diet. Without this preoautlon the
best of health may be ruined, and to
attempt to regain It by drugs alone Is
useless; far better in many cases to
depend altogether upon proper food
and rest. No DOUBT some need medi-
cine, but it is equally necessary that
food suitable for the sufferer should
be restored to. We are not apt to ap-
preciate health as we should until dis
ease begins TO break down the con-
stitution, and then once moro regain
the precious boon. How many dishes
In common use ought to be discarded

SOUR MILK FOR Cows.-Somc main-
tain that teedlrg sour milk to cows
affects their butter injuriously, but we
never made sweetcr or nicer butter
than we have been turning out This
spring when feeding sour milk to the
COWS from whose milk it was made.

each sixteen pounds Of hay and three
quarts of cats and corn-cob taken ont
ground together, and then the aver.
age yield OF milk per COW was from
thirteen TO fourteen pounds pcr dnv
Since we have been feeding the san,c
amount of hay, two quarts of oats and
corn ground togciher-cob again taken
out-Lwo quarts Of wheat bran and the
sour milk from the herd, and the avei =
age yield OF each per day has been
tIom twenty -one TO twenty-five pounds
OF mllR-an increase OF unC-third. The
cows are the same as last spring. with
the addition OF TWO othcrs-one q COW
we bought and which is Thought no
better than the rest, and the other y
two year old heiier which gives from
twenty fve TO twenty-sevcn pounds of
milk per day. / don't cxpect tha feed

Many manufactures OF reaping ma
chlnes are trying to substitute twine
for wire In binding sheaves of wheat
and other cereals. In addition to the
fact that a royalty has to DO paid on
the patent for binding with wire au-
tomatically, the use Of wire is alleged
TO be Objectionable for the following
reasons among others: When it gets
Ito the thresher it breaks the teeth
and renders the machine useless small
pieces of wire with needle points attach
themselves to the straw, and have
pierced the intestines of animals who
nave eaten OF the straw, causing their
death several fires in mills have been
attributed to sparks thrown of by the
contact of the millstones with the wire:
when The straw Is used to make paper.
the pulp has been rendered useless by
the presence of particles Of wire. and
large magnets have been required TO
eliminate them. 1t is intimated that far
mers Will require on an average two
hundred pounds OF hemp or fax twine,
the cost OF which would be abO It $40.
or one-half the cost OF wire, 10 bind
wheat would require three feet of
twine to a sheaf, 16O feet to a bushel of
grain, or for the whole crop raised last
year in the United States $4,000 tons
OF hemp, which could be made into a
cord long enough to girdle the earth
ten times. 1t IS suggested that If twIne
come 1uto general use as a binder, the
farmers, especially in Kentucky and
Missouri, who have been raising hemp
and flax principally for the seed, would
6e able to dispose OF the stocks also.
There are now ten factories in this
country devoted to the making OF
twine, but their capacity is less than
the amount OF twino that would be re-
quired for the full crop Of wheat.
