We have received a card signed {" A
Victim to the Tune of Twenty Dollars"
denouncing Mrs. Cotton as fraud. The
card is postmarked " Boston," We do not
usually notice unsigned correspondence,
but this writer refers to A. j. Root
of Medina, Illinois, as party who can
tell something about Mrs. Cotton. We
are rather in the dark yet, and would
like to hear how, and in what manner,
these " frauds are committed. We have
no desire to lead our readers astray. Mrs.
Cotton's book (Which was sent to the ag.
ricultural editor from the Office at Mont
pelier) appears all right. She offers bees
and hives for sale, but claims no patent.
If any reader has been cheated by her,
let him tell us how, and sign his name,
not necessarily for publication, but as an
evidence of good faith"

meal, after long fast, has killed great
many young animals. The stomach be-
comes so over-distended that it cannot
act, the food sours and becomes poisonous,
gas is formed, the entire internal organs
become inaamed, and the animal either
dies in few hours, or its constitution is
weakened, and it gets check to its
growth that it never entirely gets over.
Try feeding less at time, and oftener,
and see how it works. 1t will certainly
be a safe experiment to make.

A popularity of Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
Is obvious to all, is one hundred doses one
doudr, - an unanswerable argument as to
strength and economy. If you are SICK try
this excellent medicine; it has given health
and happiness to many and you may reason
ably expect 1t will to you. The cures effected
by Hoods Sarsaparila speak volumes in its
praise, and are constantly adding to its in
fucnce. No better evidence of its worth is
needed, than its enormous sale. An article
without merit cannot attain the popular de-
mand of this medicine.

PROFESSOR BUDD is of the opinion that
cellars in which fruit is stored between
picking time and the setting in of winter
should be opened at night, instead of the
daytime, as is usually done. The reason
assigned is that at night the air is cooler,
while the warmer air of the daytime has
its moisture precipitated by the cool tenn
perature of the cellar, which engenders
dampness.

Three PeCuIiarities

The superior qualities of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla are secured by three pecullarities; viz.
First. The combination of remedial agents
used.
Second. The proportion in which they
are mixed.
Third. The process by which the active
medicinal properties are secured.
These are peculiar to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and are unlike any other. The result of these
peculiarites Is a medicine of unusual strength,
which effects cures hitherto unknown. A
trial, or even a glance at the article, inspires
confidence, because it bears unquestionablc
indication of a thorough understanding on the
part of those who originated it,

Can read its printed story,

Its counterpart
Reveals thy heart.
The issues OF thy life proceed
Across lts open portal,
And on electric pinlons speed
To yonder cline immortal,
Where'er thou art,
Then keep thy heart.
Beware the trusted sentinel
That has mien suspicious
He may betray thy citadel
To lurking bands malicious.
Do thou thy part
To guard thy heart.
Let not a messenger within
Until thou prove him loyal;
Accept no compromise with sin
Although the gain seem royal.
Bid such depart,
Then watch thy heart.

Rings through the Bibles pages
with strong, beseeching tones that still
Rise DER the camorous ages:

hand'feeding, Mr.. Burnett makes a prac-

IT is not conducive to contentment on
the farm for boys to chop wood with
axes, on the windy side of the house, when
it might be sawed by power within the
walls of a building; nor to drive cattle
one-fourth of mile to water, in all kinds
of weather, together with the necessary
shoveling of snow, when water might be
had in the barnyard. Neither is it CAL
culated to inspire any great love for
farm work to be obliged to follow team
over roughly-plowed field, where the
old-fashioned spike harrow has to be
lifted every few rods to get it over rocks
or stumps on which its teeth have
caught; but with the agricultural ma
chinery now obtainable, nearly all farm
operations, even on rough fields, may be
conducted while riding on spring seat.
A variety of occupation is liked by most
persons, and the farm, if it is provided
with suitable shops, affords more variety
than most other occupations. But the
most important thing to render the home
farm attractive is good supply of books
and papers. Many have an impression
that the farm is good place to exercise
muscles, but poor place to use brains
no greater mistake than which can be
made. The study of chemistry, botany,
physiology, and ALI the natural sciences
will each show room to proftably exercise
the brain on the farm, and all combined
will show more chance for brain work
than is offered by most other occupations.

plain-looking old man, who was standing
by, seizing an opportunity to reply, said
" See here, boys; here is man revil-

the parable of the Prodigal Son." The
infidel was staggered by the simple state
ment, and the crowd dispersed.

WE have come to the conclusion that
potatoes designed for seed should never
be stored in large quantities and also
that they are more reliable when dug
soon after they are ripe. We have no
doubt but they are injured for table use
by lying in the ground long after they are
ripe, and still more if stored in such guam
titles as to cause them to heat.

Mr.. LEWIS SIMPSON of Brunswick,
Maine, says we ought to treat our fruit
trees better than the most of us do. He
uses barn manure literally and finds it
pays. For the bark louise he gives the
tops of the trees a showering of dry hard
wood ashes while they are wet with dew
or from rain, and it clears them all off.

Temperature.-A certain range of
warmth is essential to the sprouting of a
seed. Goppert, who experimental with
numerous seeds, observed none to germin-
ate below 800 Fahrenheit. Sachs has
ascertained for various agricultural seeds
the extreme limits of warmth at which
termination is possible. The lowest tenn
peratures range from 41o to $50; the
highest, from 1920 to 116o. Below the
minimum temperature, a seed preserves
its vitality; above the maximum, it is
killed. He finds, likewise, that the point at
which the mostrdpid termination occurs is
intermediate between these two extremes,
and lies between 100 and 93o. Either
elevation or reduction of temperature from
these degrees retards the act of sproutiDg.

special temperatures for six common
plants. The first column of figures shows

"My little girl was afflicted with scrofua.
SO virulent was the disease, that her neck had
been lanced ten times. At the time she began
to take Hoods Sarsaparilla, there was a very
large bunch on her face. This we ex-
pected to open with the lancet; but to our
surprise the bunch began to shrink, and now
it has entirely disappeared. Baby is in good

came along Maryland avenue at tho same time
and arrived at Thirteenth street Just as the en-
gnc did, long board fence prevented him
seeing the approaching cars, aud he stepped
on the track about three feet from the

was stopped few minutes later his mangled
body was beneath the wheels. Both his legs
were broken and crushed. his right arm was
mangled, and his right sldo was crushed In.
He was still alive crowd soon collected,
