Bones.

Poultry breeders do not seem to appre-
eiate the great value of bones for their fowls,
and but limited few ever make use of
them for this purpose. No matter wheth-
er the birds are confined or not, they are
sure to be benefited by a moderate guam
tity of bones, though those which are kept
in close confinement need them most.
Nearly every family of any size have ref
use bones enough from the kitchen to af-
ford the poultry quite treat from time to
time, and when this is not the case, or
when the supply runs short, enough can be
procured each week from the nearest butch
er cart at very small price, many butch
ers being glad to give them away to get
rid of them. These can be crushed by
using large stone and heavy hammer.
though there is now very good and cheap
mill made for the purpose-costing but
five dollars, without legs, and seven dol-
lars with legs-which PAYS for itself sever
al times o7er during the season, where
large flocks of fowls are kept, as it not only
crushes and grinds bones, but also oyster
shells, corn. etc. The bones crush best
when div, and should be n dut ed to about
the size of small pea. They ire put in
small troughs or boxes, under cover, where
the fowls can eat what they want and TO
suit their pleasure PoultTymar.

The veteran journalist, Thurlow Weed
who has been quite i'll for some time
past, is 81 years old. and has been blirt
for more thar five years, If he get,
strong enough, he intends consulting
DR. Agnew, the oculist, and undergoing
an operation. He thinks that, with
sight even partially restored, he would
be cheered into a new lease of life
MIR Weed has double cataract; that is
the crystalline lens in both eyes has be-
come Opaque. Ifthis dead lens is re-
moved by an operation, and double
convex lens of glass fitted accurately in
front of the eye, the rays Of light are
properly focused, and complete image
is formed on the sensitive retina.
Sometimes the operation of extracting
the dead lens is not successful, because
there has been no light thrown upon the
retina for 50 long that it has lost its SEN
sitiveness.

How to Treat Rats.

A writer in the Scientific American says
We clean our premises of the detestable
vermin, rats, by making whitewash yellow
with copperas and covering the stones and
rafters with it. In every crevice in which
a rat may go we put the crystals of copper
as, and scatter in the corner of the floor.
The result was perfect stampede of rats
and mice. Since that time not football
of either rats or mice has been heard around
the house. Every spring coat of yellow
wash is given the cellar as purifier, as a
rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery
or fever attacks the family. Many persons
deliberately attract all the rats in the neigh
borhood by leaving the fruits and vegeta-
bles uncovered in the cellar, and sometimes
even the soap is left open for their regale-
ment. Cover up everything eatable in the
cellar and pantry and you will soon stsrve
them out. These precautions, Joined to
the service of good cat, will prove as
good rat exterminator as the chemist can
provide. We never allow rats to be poi
soned in our dwelling. They are so apt to
die between the walls and produce much
annoyance.

Beautiful lives have grown up from the
darkest places, as pure white lilies full OF
fragrance have blossomed on Shiny, stag

The greatest obstacle to being heroic is
the doubt whether one may not be going to

is, to resist the doubt and the profoundest
wisdom to know when it ought to be re-

A man who can give up dreaming and

MIR. WIN. WESTFALL

suffered Continually for W""y
Years from stone tn the blnuuer'

Great age and painful disease are sad combln-
alton, Yet Mr.. william Westfall, formerly OF
Rock City, Duchess Co., N. Y, now OF washing
ton Hollow, in the same county, came to the ONCE
of DR., David Kennedy, the eminent Physician and
Surgeon of Rondout, N. Y, some time since, In q
condition to excite the sympathy OF the most cold
blooded and hard hearted person in the world.
We say he came--he was, rather, carried to the
Doctors ONCE, for he was totally helpless, and
bore the weight of 80 years besides. He had suf-
fered long from Retention of Urine, and had all
the symptoms Of an aggravated case Of calculus
formations in the bladder. The usual instrument
tai examination revealed the presence In the
bladder of a urinary calculus OF uncommon size.
DR.. Kennedy frankly told Mr.. Westfall that, ow-
ing to his age and debility, an operation was out

with local treatment, make him comfortable and
leave him to live out all his days. The outcome
Of this that the patient enjoys good health to
this day.
The Reasons Why
Dr. Kennedy,s .sFavOrite Remedy, Ia
being extensively used by our people are as fol-
lows: 1t ID combination of vegetable alternatives.
It Is pleasant to the taste, adapted to both sexes
and all ages, ia effective In afording immediate
relief In all cases Of Kidney troubles, Liver Com
