BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood of man has much to do in shaping
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesome world, regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket or stored
away in bank 1t is a conceded fact that we
appear as our blood makes US, and the purcr the
blood, the happier, healthier, preter and wiser
we are; hence the oft repeated interrogatory,
chow is your blood?" With pure streams of
life-giving fluid coursing through our veins,
bounding through our hearts and ploughng
through our physical frames, our morals become
better, our constitution stronger, our intellect
ual facilities more acute and grander, and men,
women and children hapT Ter, healthier and
more lovely.
The Unprecedented demand, the unparalleled
curative powers, and the unmistakable proof
from those of unimpeachable character and in
tegrity, point with an unerring finger to b. B.
B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as far the best, the
cheapest, the quickest and the grandest and
most powerful blood remedy ever before known
to mortal man, in the relief and positive cure of
Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin diseases, all iants
of blood poison, Kidney complaints, old ulcers
and sores, cancers, catarrh etc.
b. B. b. is only about three years old-a baby
in age, giant in power-but no remedy in
America can make or ever has made such won
derful showing in its magical powers in curing
and entirely eradcaIing the above complaints,
and gigantic sales in the face OF frenZied Op
position and would-be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where introduced are
pouring in upon u.s. speaking in its loudest
praise. Some say they receive more benefit from
one bottle of b. B. B. than they have from twen-
ty, thirty and fifty and even one hundred bottles
of boosted decoction of inert and n0n-medici-
nal roots and branches of common forest trees.
We hold the proof in black and white, and we
also hold the fort.

PoIiceman's Views.

Mrs. NJ. M. Prince, living at SO West Fair ST.,
Atlanta, Ga, has been troubled for several
months with an ugly form of catarrh attended
with a copious and offensive discharge from both
nostrils
Her system became so affected and reduced
that she was confined to bed at my house for
some time, and received the attention of three
physicians, and used dozen bottles of an extern
sively advertised blood remedy, all without the
least benefit.
She finally commenced the use of B. b. b.
with decided improvement at once and when
ten bottles had been used, che was entirely cured
of all symptoms of catarrh.

Feed for Butter.

1t is not necessary to feed only
oily food for large production of
butter. On the contrary nitrogen
Gus food mixed with selected food
rich in starch and peculiarly well
Favored fatty matter is preferable.
1t is fact that oils taken into the
digestive apparatus are largely alb
sorbed directly by the blood and are
carried, without change, into the
milk, thus giving to the butter a
flavor like. that of the food. But
when peas, bran, malt, sprouts, and
other food rich in heterogeneous ele-
ments, and fats which have an agree
able flavor, are used with cornmeal
or other starchy food, the whole is
thoroughly well digested, and pass
into blood and the milk in a chan ged
form, and not directly. The butter
is thus of better quality than VIXEN
oil meals are fed. The selection of
food for dairy cows is a matter for
the greatest care, and also for indi-
vidual experiment. A good mixture
of food for cows used for making
butter is 100 pounds of peas, or south
ern cow peas, 200 pounds of corn,
and 260 pounds of fine wheat or rye
bran, all ground together, To eight
quarts of this meal may he added
four quarts of thoroughly soaked
malt sprouts and one of cotton seed
n cal for a full daily allowance, di.
yided into three feeds for large
milking COW.

Little Wastes.

Manure, the farmers bank stock,
in liquid form fiews away to the
stream and is lost. Old machinery,
in which are many good bolts and
screws, are allowed to rust out in the
field. In an emergency, he drives an
overworked horse to the nearest
town or shop to duplicate an article
that should have been preserved from
the old one. He fails to keep his
tools in perfect order, and in haying
time, when the weather is threaten
ing, tire rolls off, a bolt is missing.
And down come the rain and up goes
the temper. The missing shingle is
never replaced, and a constant leak
finds its way to the grain bin and
then he growis because his wheat is
locked for dampness. Odds and
ends of lumber remain where the
last job is finished, curling up and
becoming worthless in the hot sun.
Good tools often keep company with
perishing boards. The weaklings of
his herds and focks are allowed to
remain with the strong until they
dreop away and die. This man tells
a continued story of bad seasons,
weather too hot or too cold, too wet
or too dry. taxes too high. No intel
lectual shadow falls across his pessi-
mistic path, and he never reaches
the goal of the successful farmer.

YOUTH.
A Proud Little. Girl.

Ella was Aunt Maggie's little girl
and had come with her mother and
cousin to visit the fair. After they
had come within the building her
mamma told her to put her parasol
down. but the child did not choose to
mind.
your mamma says for you to put
down your par. sol. said Mabel,
quite gently.
81 slant: ] want it up.''
Eddie looked with establishment at
a child that could put on such airs
and speak so pertly.
The little miss marched on. She
wanted the folks to see her pretty
parasol. She expected every one to
admire her, but they did not. No
one noticed her except one girl, vino
remarked as she passed on: "See that
little goose!"
BY and by Ella got tired of carry
ing her parasol. She wanted to look
at some of the pretty things, and
wished it was shut. A man coming
along j. st then jostled against it aud
knocked it out of her hands. 1t roll
ed along the ground, catching up the
dust at every turn. Then Miss Ella
set up loud cry.
"Good enough for herl'' Mabel was
just going to say, but she didn't.
Her mother had taught her not to
say iIl-natured words. She ran and
picked up the parasol, saying gently:
''Shall close it now, Ella?"
Ella pouted"yes.

ways and copy their politeness and
good manners. II she does so peo-
pie will have better opinion of her.

HUMOROUS.
An Absent Minded Man.

Coming down from the house on
the hill in derdic, one day last
week, were cabinet officer school
girl and two correspondents. The
cabinet officer got IN last, andfumbl-
ing dreamily in his vest pocket,
fished up a couple Of tickets and put
them in the box. Seeing the mirtIl
in the journalistic countenance, the
secretary remarked:
"Oh, put in two didn't 1?
thought my wife was along"
The school girl dropped her books
and giggled as she scrambled them
together again. The two newspaper
men laughed. 1t was so funny to
see such a slippery set of books. The
driver look ed in and laughed too.
He had probably had his hours re-
duced that morning to sixteen. The
driver told the secretary through the
window that it was call right"
"Take the next fare" he added. The
n ,xt person who got in was maid
en- lady of an uncertain number of
summers and a double number of
squaw winters. Her visage looked
as il it would sour milk. The secre.
tary sat nearest the box and when
her five cents was handed up the
secretary calmly took it and put it
in his pocket according to the pre-.
vious agreement, looking dreamily
out on the lovely park and oblivious
to everything. The driver registered
the fare on his gong and all was
right as right could be. All except
the new conner. A study of her coun-
tenanee by the two newspaper men
and the school girl would have re-
suited in shocking improperly, but
for the remarkable presence of mind
of the latter. The books slipped
again and went sprawling at her
feet, while three persons bumbed
their heads to recover them and
laughed absurdly. The secretary
looked coldly at this performance.
The maiden, whose nickel was snug
ly ensconced in his right-hand vest
pocket, eyed him Indignantly. She
bit her thin lips to keep her mouth
shut-another remarkable instance
of the feminine presence of mind.
She looked at the driver, al the
school girl giggling in the corner of
the coach, at the two merry-eyed
newspaper-men, then settled back in
her seat with an information on
swell - that startled the secretary
from his lethargy.
"Ive got your fare, ma am" said
he, smiling pleasantly and just get.
ting at the meaning of the thing.
81 see you have,' retorted the now
irate female. "You put it in your
pocket"
"That's all right" shouted the
driver, laughing. And then the
school girl laughed without dropping
her books, and the two newspaper
men laughed, and the secretary
laughed. Everybody laughed except
the maiden lady, who jumped up and
rang the bell and hoped out of the
car as mad as a wet hen.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Care of Pastures.

At the farmers convention held
in New York, Hon. Lewis said: l
have heard it remarked many times
that it cost more to summer cow in
pasture than to winter her, but ]
have never kept strict account so
as to be able to decide the question.
But know the pastures are usually
neglected. If we have any manure
to apply, it is used on the arrable
land and not on our pastures. Then
in fencing our farms We fence off the
poorer parts and then make an aver
age of fencing for the whole farm.
l don't exactly like the principal of
Soiling, preferring to send my cows
to pasture. In suggesting points for
the Improvement of pastures, 1
would say, first. If there are any
mudholes in the pasture I would say
tile-drain them. They will then be
the most productive part of the
farm. Another Improvement is TO
break up the droppings of the cattle
about the Goth of October. Break
them up with a stable hook and then
GO over the ground with harrow.
Also top-dress the pasture late in
October with horse manure. There
should be hurdle fence to surround
that part of the land that is newly
broken up for pasture. Iwculd SOW
two hundred or three hundred
pounds of ground bone on any piece
of land that was going to seed dow n
to pasture. In taking from the sell
a pound of milk the cow takes a
piece of phosphate of lime as large as
good sized pea, and in sixty pounds
of milk she will Lake sixty times
that amour. Now we must find
some way of putting this back. and
ground bone is the best for this pur-
pose. I would sow for seed a mix
ture of fourteen pounds of orchard
grass. ten pounds OF Kentucky blue.
grass, twelve pounds meadow fescue
and six pounds each of meadow fox
tail and of redtop. This may seem a
good deal. A half crop of grass is
worth more than little grass-seed,
These grasses are all deep rooted and
least affected by drouth, and will
give succession of food. I'm not
in favor of clover in the pasture, as
it has too much water in it, ! also
regard timothy as the poorest pas
ture grass on account of its dubious
root, which is easily pulled up by
cattle grazing close. when you SOW
these grasses keep the cattle off the
ground the first season, because
some of the grasses are weak when
young. The tread of cattle is always
an injury to growing grass, but it is
unavoidable. If you take the cattle
off by October Goth and break the
droppings as have described you
will keep the grass in good condition.

There may he some advantage In
permitting weeds to grow on the
stubbies with the intention OF
ploughing them in, providing they
are not left leng enough to ripen
their seeds. A bare fallow, in which
the soil is exposed to the sun and
rain is injurious to the land; 1t is
far better to have the land covered
with some kind of vegetation, IL 1t Is
nothing but the prevalent summer
weeds. Every crop Of weeds pleuged
in lessons the. stock of weed seed in
the soil, and does so much toward
cleaning the land if care is exercised
10 bury the weeds before the seeds
are formed. An excellent method or
covering the weeds is, to loop
chain to the plough beam SO that 1t
gathers the strip of weeds on the
7urrow slice, and as this turns, dargs
the weeds into the furrow. where
they are covered in completely, and
buffet where the will soon decay and
enrich the soil.

Rest.

One should eat when hungry, sleep
when sleepy, and rest when weary.
Rest is necessary to the health. You
cannot rest until you are tired. If
you never exert yourself sufficiently
to incur fatigue you will never ex-
perience the delicious sensation of
rest. Some persons never rest be-
cause they are never tired and others
never rest because they are always
tired, and never give themselves
time TO rest till the grave closes over
them. Yes, have seen the over
worked mother of a family with her
white, sad, care-worn face still toll
ing on and over burdened and vast.
ing away day by day, and have such
little sympathy in life, and few
mourn their death, which is always
premature. One thrust aside the
cup Of life in the midst of her work
and when the neighbor women were
dressing the white, form for the
grave they spoke of her good quail
ties as housekeeper. her unceasing
work aud unwearyiDg care for her
family, and the long months of suf-
fcring, through which she had never
faltered. never called for assistance,
but still daily performed the same
routine of labor as when in good
health. Such instances are not IN
frequent, and the death that Genes
from oyerwork ia lingering and
cruel death. There are few women
who know how to rest. One will
work on till she is ready to faint and
can work no longer, and sit or lie
down. and still keep thinking over
and over the many turns that must
be done as soon as she can possibly
gather courage to 60 forward, and,
when she does arise and resume her
toll, she wonders why she has not
rested in the heart, and thinks that
rest will never come. If you would
rest thoroughly you must forget that
you ever have any more work to do
That you ever have ovsrworked
yourseif-forget your surroundings
entirely. and think something pleas
ant, or think nothing, and you win
be surprised TO find how soon rest
will come.

The Industrial Side of the Liquor Ques-
tion,

The New York Evening Post de-
clares the attact upon the business
of liquor-making to be mistake"
because "the whole number of per-
sons who get their living in one way
or another out of the production Of
liquors of various sorts would make
an army Of no mean proportions.
TO this, the Toledo Blade, "Nasby's"
paper, makes the following pertin-
ent reply -
"Nvar employs vast armies Of
men. Should we therefore Encourage
War? Burglary, thieving, gambling,
and prostitution employ a vast
army of men ard women are these
vices therefore to be Encouraged?
The consumer of the hop product
consumes but little else. He robs
the builder by not living in. a decent
house. He RODS che butcher by Mi
consuming meat in decent quanti
ties. He robs the newspaper pub
Usher by rever taking paper. lie
robs the bookseller by never buy
ing book. He robs the clotlier by
spending his earnings in beer, and
going himself in rags, and condemn
ing his family to do the same. Fe
robs his grocer, tho hardware stere,
and every decent employment, in
the same way. The beer-shop alb
serbs everything lie can earn, and
the rest of the community can get
nothing from him. The industrial
side of the liquor question is the
last one that should be held up for
public approval. 1t has no indus
trial side. It's only work is the de-
struction of men and women. Il is
never planted anywhere that it does
not burn like prairie fire. Its
presence in community is indicat-
ed reoness houses, patched windows,
dirt, and squalor. That such
crime against humanity should be
apolegized for because 1t employs
an army of men, is something more
than singular. "Tlle industrial side
OF the liquor question" furnishes q
most excellent reason why we should
Dulrerize the rum poper.

He was Is years of age, the eldest
of six children. He had pleasing
face, with large. gray eyes that he held
in their depth vacant look, as
though still wondering at the vast
ness of the world, upon which they
had opened fifteen years before.

cause when they tcrmented him lie
would run to his mother to be COM
forted. Mother he wonld say 81
don't like them they call me silly,

and they keep sayin' 1T all the time"
And the mother looking into the
vacant eyes, with sad heart, would
say "Don't mind them, dear !;
they don't mean anything get your
playthings and you and I'll play, and
perhaps they may want to play
with US, but we won't let them.'
