YESTERDAYS experiences indicate that
the time -honored, but foolish aud sense
less, observances of the first of April are
falling into disusc. The April Fools Day
celebration yesterday was apparently left
entirely for the delectation of the small
boy. The elaborate efforts at wholesale
deceptions and extensive SELLS" which
have often been made heretofore on April
!, were lacking yesterday, and there was
little to mark the fact that tho day was
one devoted to fun and foolery.

We, Too, Have Tested It.
To the Public:

In view of the harmful results which
so frequently attend the use of so-called
patent or proprietary cough syrups con-
tanning morphia, opium and other
equally dangerous drugs, the under
signed, physicians of Maryland, take
pleasure in endorsing the official opin-
ions expressed by the Commissioner of
Health of Baltimore; DIR. Samuel X.
Cox, analytical chemist, of Washington,
and other authorities to the effect that
the RED STAR COUGH CURE is not only
a perfectly harmless, but at the same
time an original and most effective
remedy, and that it commends itself
alike for being entirely vegetable-free
from opiates, poisons and narcotics
and for its prompt efficacy, as demon
strated by practical tests.

CALVES.
How They May BE Economically Raised
by Hand.

How They May BE Economically Raised
by Hand.
We are asked by correspondent
how to feed his young calves, as he in
tends to sell the milk. Well, for the
first week or ten days they should have
the cows milk. Nothing will take the
place of the mothers milk during that
time, and the milk is good for nothing
else during the period. OF course
there may be some temptation to sell
it, but it ought not to be done. After
that the calf may be put upon artificial
food. but those who are not accus-
toned to feeding such foods, often fail.
If our correspondent can obtan whey.
he had better do so, and perhaps will
have better success than with anything
else. The best single thing to be add
ed to the whey is Oil-meal. Dissolve a
quarter of a pound of oil-meal. or cake.
in hot whey and add it to each gallon
of whey. This is highly recon-
mended for a calf ten days old.
When the calf is three weeks or a
month old quarter of a pound of
wheat bran, ground oats or barley may
be added to each gallon of whey, to-
gether with the oil meal. Seald the
oatmeal and oil meal in hot water or
whey always. The calf may be fed on
this right along up to three months
old, which is the limit of age to which
the inquiry of our correspondent ex-
tends.
Then there is the hay tea method.
Mr. Stewart saws of this the soluble
nutrtive constituents of the hay are
extracted by boiling. and this extract
contains all the food elements required
to grow the animal, besides being as
digestible as milk If the hay is cut
early, when it has most soluble matter.
and is of good quality, the tea will
grow good calves; but this extract fire.
quenuy has too small a proportion of
albuminous and fatty matter. Yet if
the hay tea is boiled down so as not
to contain too much water for the dry
substance calves will usually thrive
upon it. Mr.. Stewart saws he tried
an experiment by feeding two gallons
of hay tea, in which one-quarter pound
of flax seed and one-quarter pound of
wheat middlings had been boiled. to
each of five calves thirty days old. This
experiment was cont nued sixty days,
with a gradual increase. during the
last thirty days, of the middlings to one
pound per day. These calves did re-
markedly well. gaining an average of
a little over two pounds per head per
day.
Having mentioned this experiment to
n farmer, who sold his milk for city
consumption. yet desired to raise half
dozen calves. he tried the same formula
and reported gain per day for sixty
days of two and one-quarter pounds
per head. In his experiment he boiled
hay cut five-eighths of an inch long,
and three pounds for each calf. half an
hour, and then the short hay was ra sed
upon a wire-cloth sieve over the kettle
and drained. whilst the tiax-seed and
middlings were put into the kettle and
boiled to jelly. The plan might be
carried out on large scale at little cost
per calf Western Rurat.

Corn CObs.

Corn cobs contain 81 per cent. of al
kaline salts. of which 45 per cent. are
carbonate of potash. They also con-
tain $50 per cent of phosphate of
lime, 2.20 per cent. carbonate of lime,
2 per cent sulphate of lime, 8 per
cent carbonate of magnesia, 20 per
cent. of silica, and over per cent. of
carbon. This is good showing for
corn cobs, and they are consequently
valuable for fertilizing purposes when
burned and the ashes carefully saved.
One ton of ashes is worth about 500.
and this is high figure compared with
other fertilizers. Not only should corn
cob ashes be saved, butevery thing that
is burned in the stove. We are par
t'cular about cob ashes because they are
the most valuable of all, and are also
more generally wasted than anything
else.--F'arm, Field and Stockman.

Staggering womanhood.

Too much effort can not be made to bring
TO the attention of suffering womanhood
the great value Of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as remedy for the
diseases of women, and perhaps nothing
is more effectual than the testimony OF
those who have been cured by it. Such an
one is the wife of General Barringer, of
Winston, N. c., and we quote from the
Generals letter as follows: "Dear Mrs.
Pinkham: Please allow me to add my
testimony to the most excellent medicinal
qualities of your Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. Barringer was treated for several
years for what the physicians called Leu
corrhea and Prolapsus Uteri combined.

manned for six months under the treatment

ers herself fully relieved" TGeneral Bar.

SULPHUR.
How the Sicilian Ores. Out of Which Sui
phur is Made, Are Worked.

How the Sicilian Ores. Out of Which Sui
phur is Made, Are Worked.
In Sicily, at the end of the Middle
Miocene period. the lphur-bearing
area was raised, and lakes were formed
in which occurred the deposition of the
sulphur-rock and it's accompanying
gypsum, tripoli. and slicious lime
stone. The sulphur-rock is composed
of sulphur and marly limestone. the
sulphur being sometimes dissem mated
though the limestone. and at others
forming thin alternate layers with it.
These sulphur-bearlng seams are often
separated by layers of black mari,
twenty inches to six feet thick, some
seams attaining tn ckness of twenty
ght feet. The total aggregate thick
ness of the sulphur-seams reaches one
hundred feet in one case, but the aver
age total is ten to twelve feet only.
All the seams are decompOsed at their
eutcrop. and show only an accumula-
ton of VIII fish friable earth called 6rts-
cate by the miners, and mainly COM
posed of gypsum.
Almost all the Sicilian ore is carried
to the surface on boys backs. conse-
quently it does not pay to work below
about four hundred feet, as it then be-
comes necessary to employ hauling
machinery. Hence the deposits lying
below that horizon are hardly touched.
and as many of the beds are nearly
vertical, and do not diminish in yield
us they descend, the still untouched re-
sources must be very great. Various
estimates have been made as to the
time the supply will last at the present
rate of consumption; these range from
fifty to two hundred years. There are
said to be about two hundred and fifty
mines in the islands and no less than
4. s67 calcaroni were reporte d in oper-
alton fifteen years ago. The average
Weld is stated not to exceed fourteen
per cent. Christian at Work.

A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

If you are suffering from general de-
bility, nervous prostration, sinking
spells, etc, superinduced by impure
blood, weak kidneys and liver, ETC., do not
resort to alcoholic compounds, nor use
remedies that cause too great activity
of the parts affected. II is far more wise
to use a mild Alternative like Or. Guy
sott's Yellow Dock and Sarsa-
pariIIa, This remedy contains nothing
injurious to the most delicate constitu-
ton, and it's use gradually builds up and
strengthens, while diuretic and cathartic
compounds tear down, wear out and de-
troy.
DR.. Gulsott's YellOD Dock and SdrsdpG-
Tilla restores impaired or lost organic
functions to their normal condition, and
it invariably gives satisfaction to all who
use it.
Do not forget that any druggist will
procure the remedy Cor you, especially
when they find you will not be persuaded
to try some other preparation on which
they make more money. You will find
its effect most wonderful. Your old
energy will return, your natural force
come back, and you will feel anogethcr a
new person, full of health, strength and
vigor. Former invalids speak highly Of
the preparation, and all acknowledge it
a perfect health restorer, especially in
diseases of facilitating nature having
a tendency to poison and thin the blood,
thereby weakening the urinary and d.
gestive organs, and exhausting the
brain and nervous system.
B~ Worn out and enfeebled con-
situations. suffering from dyspepsia,
impure blood, weak kidneys, nerv-
business, etc, can be cured by
using this remedy. Take no other.
