market at all times. Much of the
family's comfort and safety depends
upon the qualities of the family
horse. None but a thoroughly bro
ken, good tempered animal should
be used for family horse.
There is no question in my mind
as to the correctness of the asser-
ton that a medium sized horse is
in every respect the best for the
farmer. He will do more work
and last longer, and can be used
occasionally for roadster without
injury.
A habitual rolling horse should
have either a loose box or a narrow
stall. A horse in box stall would
not be much better off than in an
ordinary stall if tied. He should
be loose. All horses in box stalls
should be loose, as the name of box
stall suggests tois.--Dr. Horne.

Diabetes Cured.

and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back. and sometimes in the legs, made
me so lame at times that could scarcely
walk. consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
irving the least benefit. / then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though
sometimes was a little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yetupon the whole
was not only no better, but in many re-
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that I could not cross
my legs when sitting on a chair-all of
which, they said, was caused by diabetes.
I then tried some highly lauded patent

Nothing is more true than the

Repairs,

Now that you have little leisure
look after the leaks and such other
REPAIRS if any, to be attended tc
about your dwelling. barn, crib and
other buildings about the farm
Now is a good time to reco .er and
put in condition to protect the
crops you have worked hard tC
make. Not only your crops should
be sheltered, but every animal on
tue place should be provided with a
warm comfortable stall with rack
and feed box before winter sets in.
The manure shelter should be made
ready and every pound of barn yard
manure should be placed therein
until wanted in the spring. There
is but little time for idleness on the
farm, wet or dry, hot or cold, there
is always something needing atten-
ton. See to it that nothing goes to
waste, that everything of value is
properly cared for and used to best
advantage.

DYSPEPSIA.

and increased Costiyeness, all Of which are

Much depends, for successfl

Much depends, for successful
farming, upon regularity. The
farm animals should be fed and
cared for at regular intervals, day
after day. The animal functions
are subject to less disorder, if made
to perform daily duties, at regular
periods. The best returns from a
mich COW come through well OBJ
served care in feeding and milking.
A cow should be fed before or at
the time of milking, and the inter
walls between milkings ought to be
twelve hour periods. The laws of
nature require as rigid observance
among animals of the brute king
dom as among men. AS you feel
the demand for food, the require
ments of nature, so feel for the
dumb beasts of the farm, and there
by secure profit to yourself and
comfort to them.

Farmers of all classes are most

ter prices for their wool. This is
not logical, or even good policy. 1t
is true that clothing may be too
high in proportion to the price of
wool; but instead of trying to lower
the price of clothing the farmer
should endeavor to increase the
price of wool.

of my gun. If [ don't see much game

Romantic Marriage.

Tallahassee Land of Flowers.
Mr.. William Thomas, of Wakulla coun-
ty, was married at the Townsend House
in this city yesterday to Miss H. L. Ker-
van, of Travis county, Texas, Rev. A. G.
McCants officiating.
The marriage was rather romantic, as
the bride and groom had never seen each
took the solemn obligations upon them.
Miss Kervan is middle aged lady, in
telligent, educated and rather good look
ing. She was teacher of public school
and must have borne good a character in
Texas. Mr.. Thomas is well known here
as plain old Wakulla farmer, little
past middle age. For many years he has
been unanimously chosen messenger in
our state senate, where he is familiarly
called tUncle Billy"
After losing his wife, Uncle Billy"
said he had decided that this world was
too big for man to live in without a
wife when there are so many women
wanting to marry, so he set to looking
around for another helpmate. A few
months ago he got hold of the name of
Miss Kervan and wrote to her. A cor
respondence, an exchange of photographs
a mutual statement of their circumstan-
ces ard finally an engagement followed.
By appointment the lady came on to
Tallahassee alone, arriving Saturday

with the mail carrier, Mr.. Tully. The

introduced they shook hands heartily,

lady remarked: Gas tomorrow is inau-

it." 'Wen, don't particularly care"
said "Uncle Billy" "but I'd like to mar

brief pause ensued, finally the minister
asked; "Are you ready to proceed %

profusely. The minister proceeded, and

ent.

that both parties have drawn capital
