Consumption
 Conquered l! WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.
DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, g Hawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
 ''One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. : Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle I took new lease of life, and 1 can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give'
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG C0R- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.

 Lay aside some of the best hay fodder for the ewes at lamblng time and the COWS when fresh in milk.
 In feeding you want to notice that some animals are more dainty as to their choice than others; their likes should be respected.
 The keeping of valuable specimens of old hens beyond two years is well enough under most circumstances, but the rank and file should be cut short at that age. We are not sure that the practice adopted by some peul- try keepers of working with bullets only, raising a full hatch every year, is the wisest course.
 Our farmers must look carefully to the seed corn supply. With two seasons in suc- 
 perfect development of this grain, good seed is liable to be scarce in many localities. If a supply was not provided at husking no time should be lost in getting it around now, either by selection or by purchase. In buy ing let it be taken from a locality further north rather than south.
 Chicken raising is most successfully car ried on when the coops are placed in such position that the young birds can with the opening of spring run on fresh, dry ground. If the run is one that has in the past been much used, and the ground fouled by the droppings of other birds, the proba- bility is that the chickens will lack in thrift mess and more deaths occur than on fresher land

 An organization known as ''The Tithe Guild" has been formed in Nashville, Ten nessee. The members pledge themselves to devote a tenth part of their income to God This does not mean to give money to the church alone, but to support all charitable and benevolent objects. The beginning of this important work was very successful and far exceeded the most sanguine expecta- tions Although the members at present are Episcopalians, the guild is not at all de- nominational.
 There is bill before the legislature pro- viding for the repeal of the law of the last session forbidding the explosion of frecrack- CTS or cannon, or ths beating of drums and blowing of horns, and the making of other disagreeable disturbances, on the night pre- vious to the 4th of July, or the night fol- lowing; and that no such noise shall be made during the daytime of the anniversary itself i, within 400 feet of any house on which a ;c oI fhati tain son. This law ought not to be repealed. The Norwegians in Minnesota have intro
 duced their peculiar snow shoes there. The
 shoes are made of strips of hard wood,
 about ten feet long and six inches wide,
 slightly turned up in front. They are fast ened to the foot at about the middle of the shoe. The wearer slides over the snow, not trying to lift the shoes, and carries pole with which to keep his balance. Since the big snows of this winter these shoes have been almost the only means of locomotion in Dodge county. It is not unusual to see
 something like half cord of shoes piled in front of store, within which their wearers | are shopping.
 Mr NeWmau, an IuSilsu IoeioSh' 1o 6Aho l werp, in order to test the theory of migra- l ton made two new ponds and stocked one l with pike and the other with small, fresh | water fish, such as dace, roach, barbsl, etc. After two days he had both ponds emptied, ! when it was found that some of the pike had l travelled by some means or other from their | own pond into that of their neighbors, and
 had devoured the greater part of them.
 That these pike should have taken less than
 two days to think out their marauding plan
 and put it in practice is an additional proof
 that the water wslf is at least possessed of a prompt and decided character.

THE Moss IsDrsrRY.

Among the diversified Industries
OF Louisiana that Of moss Is not the
least interesting nor important. New
Orleans receives annually about 20,-
600 bales, At say sl75,oOO. OF these
receipts some $4,000 bales are ro-
handled by the city moss gins, and
the remainder Is soid or shipped In
the condition IN which II Is landed.
The forests and swamps Of Loulala8a
are.siocked with an unlimited sup
ply Of the tibre. That procured from
the live oak tree Is the better quality.
The gatherers OF green moss heap II
up Ia piles, wet II and weight IL
down with earth or logs, and the
heat generated by the docayIng bark
surrounding the fibre hastens the
process OF curing, and In two or three
months, according TO varying seasons,
the decomposition Is complete. Tho
moss Is then turned out and dried,
cleaned by hand Of sticks and dirt, and
baled anu shipped. Live oak moss
so cured and carefully cleaned com
mands readily four cents per pound.
In passing the moss through the gins
there Is i loss OF about 40 per cent
10 weight, but when the black moss
somes out II looks as clean and glossy
. the finest and blackest hair. The
nossas turned out from the GIN in
iealIookIng bales, branded according
o quality, and shipped In orders all
'ver the country. It's price 10 not as
'igh as II was few years ago, varI-
