PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head.

lively not injurious.

The Wood Pile.

Wood cut during the three months
that precede the first of the year is
much more valuable than if cut the three
reason of this is, probably, because dur
ing the latter part of Autumn and the
first part of Winter there is but little
action in the sap of the tree, and there
fore the wood is not filled with it, as it is
after the sun runs higher and the days
are longer. Wood that is to be kept In
piles where it is cut until another year,
is injured very much by being full of
sap; much more than if carried home,
sawed hort, and split fine enough for
fre-wood. Therefore, those who neglect
to cut their wood until February or
March, should never leave it in four
feet lengths where it is cut, but should at
once haul it home and saw it into proper
lengths for frewood not neglecting to
pile it up so it can be rapidly dried bv
the March and April winds. If cut III
Autumn, there is not the necessity for
being so particular, but it may be sawed
and split any time during the Spring,
and housed at once, if the wood house is
where the air can pass freely through it.
Grey or, what is generally known as.
white birch, cut in the latter part OF
Winter, becomes almost worthless if left
in the woods until August; but if cut in
the Autumn and left in this way it will
be much more valuable, although this IL
a wood that should be either used the
first Winter after being cut in the Au-
tumn, or sawed up, we'll dried and housed
before the Isl 81 May; it burns well
either way. While pine cut in the Wiz
ter or early in the Spring not only makes
poor wood, but also poor lumber being
filled with sap, it invites a class of des-
tructive worms or borers to feed upon it,
and they readily accept the invitation
Countless numbers of them not only eat
away all of the inner bark, but eat large
numbers of holes through the solid wood
thus destroying it for lumber, and greatly
injuring it for frewood. Pine wood
should never be left in the woods to dry
but should be piled on high dry land
and split fine enough so it will dry
through before the 1st of June. This
will prevent the worms from eating it,
and the wood from turning black.-Gfa8-

Sell What You Can.

Farmers should look over their stock
at this season of the year, and not keep
stock all Winter to be fed and housed at
a considerable cost, only to find, when
Spring comes, that it is worth no more,
and perhaps less, than it was in the Fall.
This rule applies not only to cattle and
sheep, but to poultry. Moreover, the
principle may be applied to crops. Where
a reasonable profit can be obtained by
selling the crops of the fields and or
chards in the Fall, it is better to sell
them than to hold for higher prices
There is always a risk in keeping, for
prices may not rise, and the crops kept
may be badly effected by atmosphere or
other causes not considered. So far as
live stock is concerned, it is pretty GER
tain that next Spring will see lower
prices than at present prevail Meat is
still very dear, in spite of the glowing
crop reports from all parts of the land ;
but as the people begin to realize the ex-
tent of the crops they will clamor for
lower prices, and a decline must eventu-
ally come. Money realized for stock or
crops now and deposited safely will draw
interest, and can neither die nor decay,
whereas the live stock may do the one or
the crops the other
The wise and well-to-do farmer is not
he who has a great surplus Of stock or
crops on hand. Success is as much due
to selling at the right time as in buying
at the right price. Reasonable profits
and prompt returns should be the rule
of the farmer, who, just as surely as a
merchant, will find it well not to keep
any kind Of salable material too long on
hand

A Horse Which Made a Sensation.

England began to send missionaries t,

mare.
Now neither King Pomare nor any
his subjects had ever seen horse, an6
as they were curious to know something
about an animal which the English peo-
pie described as so noble and willing and
useful, it was finally decided that one
should be sent him as present. S,
among the cargo of vessel sent t.
Tahiti from New South Wales was ;
splendid horse, with a silky coat and
flowing name and tail, for King Pomare
1t was originally intended that the
horse should be taken ashore from the
vessel III which he had made his voyage
in a large canoe which had been sent
alongside for the purpose, but the sling
in which he was fastened gave way a.

NAL fell into the sea. He at once strucl
boldly for the land but tie natives nc

the waves and swan after him like a

terrified horse struggled as hard as he
could. AS soon as he reached the land

however, they returned when they saw
sailor slip halter around the crea-
lures neck and lead him along.
Next morning, in the presence of a

captain put saddle on the horse, and
rode him up and down before the Kings
