(From the Couner.)
Mrs. Schoonmaker. of Greek Docks, Ulster
Co., n. Y. had the misfortune to entirely lose
the sight OF one OF her eyes, through an acci-
dent, and endured painful infammatory action
therein for two long years; the other eve final
ly becoming alphabetically affected, her gen.
eral health seriously suffering indeed she was
mere wreck, walking skeleton. In this ter
rbe strait she consulted DR.. David Kennedy,
OF Ropdout, N. Y, who told her at once that
the injured eve must be removed. She quietly
but firmly said: "All right, Doctor, but don't
give me chloroform. Let nv husband SIT by
my side during the operation, and will neither
cry out or STIR The work was done, and the
poor woman kept her word. Talk OF solderly
courage! This showed greater pluck than 1t
takes to face hundred gums. To restore her
general health and give tone and strength TO
the system, DR.. Kennedy then gave the " Fa-
vorte Remedy, which cleaused the blood and
impaired new life to the long suffering woman.
She rapidly gained health and strength, and is
now well. The "Favor;e Remedy is pnce-
less blessing to women. No family should be
without it. Your druggist has 1t. IL not send

DON'T TRUST THEM.

When you feel badly, and have pains here
and there in your body that you don't know
how to account for, 1t lie the most foolish policy
in the world to take the advice of people who
say: "Oh. there's nothing the matter with you.
Let Yourself alone and You will come out all
right" These folks know nothing about it,
and may be ;rifing with yonr life. You may
have Kidney or Liver trouble. Send right ont

will be all right, or write to the Doctor, at Rom

Corn husking is a thing of the past, with

Yields. Ros Hubbard said that he had 1850
bushels of ears of corn from 1915 acres. We
doubted it ut first. until we learned that Sile
Gould had LAO bushels from ~ acres.
This we called an absolute l-l-impossi
bility. But when John Stillwell told us that
he had 160 bushels per acre, actual measure
and not guessed at, we took more Chart
able view. But upon a careful investigation
of our own cornfield we find the foregoing
very small crops. We measured the ground
occupied by one stalk of our own corn, and
averaged the field from that, and we found
our yield was something over ttcO thousand
bushels IF shelled corn per acre. Now let's
hear from some one who had real good corn.

phrases at his command which he gives perfectly
and ne sings and whistles many airs. HIS remarks
are strikingly apropOs. When going TO his cage he

When he SWING " COco-Gris Is swinging" When
Cocotte "a green Brazilian enparrot given HIM

you must not scream sing" If she sings: You
sing well, very well, indeed On asking 4" Who

goes into the cupboard Coco leans forward and
says; What are you doing there, CocotteP
When the Able speaks somewhat loudly 70 his
servant Coco breaks in " HOw-what-dont you
understand I" Coco was lately taken on railway
Journey, and after some hours silence came out OF
his cage and asked IN a frightened way " What
have they done ~ He repeated this several times
