was perched upon a limb in a tall
tree. Perched upon another limb
thirteen feet above the snake was a
squirrel. All of a sudden the
snakes head shot up into the air,
and he not only took in the squirrel
but snapped the limb, three inches
in diameter, in two. The limb,
which held nest containing eleven
young hawks, fell to the ground,
and the hawks we're all gulped dowE
by the snakes mate, which was ly-
ing concealed at the foot of the
tree.

A Stahla I,r1ynru-

A stable luxury to the cow is q
light fly blanket, to be used while
milking. In some Of the European
counties, especially where women
do the milking, the COWS are al
ways blanketed while being MIXED,
summer and winter. 1t is a prac-
tice we may well copy in this coun
try. We blanket our horses to pro-
tect them from flies while stand
ing in their stalls, and why not our
COWS while we are milking them
Every farmer has old sacking in
which fertilizer or wheat bran has
been bought, and which may be
easily sewed together in suitable
size and shape for a blanket to
cover a COW. There should be
one for each mixer.
Three sacks sewed together with
out ripping them open will usually
make a blanket large enough to
cover a large COW, and which no
flies or mosquitoes will reach their
bill through. Most of the annoy
ance from cows tails being switch
ed about ones face and ears while
milking, may be avoided by using
such a blanket. Many cows learn
the trick of throwing their hay
around upon their backs and sides
while eating, to keep off the flies,
and not a little is thus wasted un-
der their feet. 1t is well during
fly time to keep a stable pretty
dark at milking time, and all the
time if cows are kept up through
the day. A COW that is constantly
tormented by flies will give much
less milk than she would if kept
constantly comfortable. 1t pays to
treat our animals kindly and to
keep them happy and contented.

The 0dor of the Hay Field.

Going from New England to a
western state many years ago, the
writer was struck with the differ
ence between the two localities in
their season. In the older states,
the air at haying time is redolent
of the most delightful fragrance,
making it pleasure to be out of
doors. At haying time in the
western locality, there was only a
clean, weedy odor, quite unlike
that to which we had been accus-
toned. In looking into the reason
for this lack of pleasant odor at
haying, we examined the hay, and
while all the usual grasses were
present we could find no trace of
the sweet-scented Vernal grass, an
thoxanthrum Odoratum, SO common
in eastern meadows. In itself,
this grass has little value. Indeed,
its chief merit lies in its odor.
This is developed as the heritage
dries, and a few spears of this
grass will impart its fragrance to a
large mass of hay. This grass
should always form small part Of

Hard Times.
There is strong disposition on
the part of the business men to cry
hard times, and many of our fnan-
cial seers assure US that the worst
has not been reached. They suf-
fer their judgment 30 be biased
by their feelings, and being de
pressed in spirit, can see nothing
hopeful in the future. We have
studied the situation as earnestly
as have our bankers and CONNER
cial men, and we tail to find any
good reason tor such a conclusion.
The public sentiment, we are well
aware, has great deal to do with
the condition OF affairs. If every
one cries out against the times,
confidence is to greater or less
degree shaken, and the stringency
is prolonged, when if the public
were fully assured it would cease to
exist. This is all that we can con-
ceive to be the matter with af-
fairs to day. There is certainly
nothing in the general outlook that
would warrant the assumption that
the country has any very great
backset in store for 1t, or that the
times can become very much more
depressed than they are at present.
We look upon the signs of this
times as rather more encouraging
than otherwise and confidently ex-
pect to see an.improvement. There is
certainly nothing to make things
worse.

Ayers Pills

Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The
ftful activity into which the enfeebled
stomach is spurred by ''bitters," and alco-
holic stimulants, is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.

habits of life, became chronic; Ayers Pills

Chronic CatarrI,.

c. w. Mellier, Of 4o6 South Fourth
street, st. Louis, Is twenty years Of age,
and has been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DIR. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told II would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gresscd beyond oil expectations, and
nearly all signs OF the disease have dis.
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did The business.
James Dunn, of 1870 Gay street, St.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story OF
his case. az took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended TO my throat, and n bad cough
followed. | went to number of phy-
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said il was palpita-
ton OF the heart that caused the cough
For the last year have been practically
worthless. l could not ascend fight OF
stairs without suffering from shortness o,
breath aud fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating | often coughed so hard that
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago went
under the care of DIR. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and feel like
new man. PERuNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Saucrbaum, residing
at 1920 Carr street, St. Louis, who is an
old patient Of DIR. Hartman. lie stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tircly well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundlcss. and he expressed it to

The annual settlement of the Trustees of
Perrysburg township, as shown by Treas
urer Wittmann's report published last
week, makes very favorable showing for
the practice of economy and efficiency in
this department, as compared with ring
rule some years ago. The total expendi-
lures for all purposes of S2,569.34, as
shown by the report, is reduced still lower
by about S400, by ,leduc,ing 5000 in excess
Of outstanding orders last yesr over this,
and $500 yet due from the county Infrm-
ary. The total balance in the treasury of
$4,27293, is ample for the expenditures Of
another year without further levy. Re-
ferring to this style OF management the
Toledo Bee says:
The sum total of all the disbursements
from the Perrysburg township treasury
during the year ending March 1st, was not
equal by several hundred dollars. to the
annual salaries of the trustees, in the good
old days when machine politics reigned
supreme; when the balance in the treasury
at the close Of the fiscal year was wont 10
