Women in Poultry Culture.

"onoh IN iouItry culture
is gratifying fact that the poul-
try industry is attracting many women
to it Our poultry: associations have
many lady members. and many have
won prizes at our exhibitions Woman,
BY her gentleness and large stock of
patience, is best fitted to care for the
focks. Many woman suffering from
tho ill-eifect of close confinement in
doors is recovering her health and
cheerfulness in this interesting and
pleasing occupation. The time is
coming when hosts of women of Amer
lea will vie with their French sisters in
controlling the poultry culture of the
land. Woman has asserted herself and
has forced an acknowledgment of her
ability. Not profession. trade or
calling exists in which women are not
included. Chicago has even its women
blacksmiths.
Every place is open to woman. She
is embracing it. and success for her is
sure; for in any business where atten-
tion 10 detail in small things is an i'm
perntive demand woman excels man.

That grim and silent rests,
And all the burdens each may bear
Within their secret breast1
Behind the mask-who knows the tear
That from the heart arise,
And in the weary flight OF years
How many pass with slghsl
Rehind the mask-who knows the strain
That each life may endure,
And all the grief and countless pain
That wealth can never cure

And with the world and fashions show

A Dream Of Fair WornSsis.

of a long procession Of lovely women of
ages past. This is all very well, but the
laureate would have done the world q
greater service If he had only told the wo-
men Of the present how they could improve
their health and enhances their charms.
This he might easily have done by recon-
mending the use Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. Health is the best friend Of
beauty, and the innumerable ills to which
women are peculiarly subject, its worst
enemies. Long experience has proven that
the health Of womankind and tho .'Favorite
Prescription" walk hand in hand, and are
inseparable. It is the only medicine for
women, sold by druggists, under positive
guarantee from the manufacturers, that it
will give satisfaction in every case, or
money will be refunded. This guarantee
has been printed on the ebottle-wtapper,a and
faithfully carried out for many years.

A Cure for Insomnia.

in reply to question the other day.
"Yes; there is as much philosophy in
regard to sleep rs there is in anything
else. 1t is generally accepted by the
medical profession that our conscious
daylight thinking processes are carried
on in the sinister half OF the brain
that is, in the lobe which controls the
actions of the right arm and leg. From
this line of reasoning it naturally fol-
lows that one dreams with the other
lobe. and that the abnormal character
of dreams is IN some way traceable to
that fact TO bring back sleep when
lost we must quiet the conscious,
thinking. sinister side of the brain, and
bring into activity only the dream side
that is. the dexter side. To do this
tho old device was to try to compel
ones self to put aside every waking
thought even soothing and pleasant
oncs-every effort Of daylight memory.
The better plan, and one that is meet
ing with great deal Of success is to
think of dream. the more recent the

A pearth OF Good Cattle.


An observing cattle buyer who has
lately returned from the east remark
ed to US the other day that there was
actually scarcity Of good cattle in
the Chicago and Eastern markets.
IL was in Kansas Citv, three davs."
said he. land was at the stock yards
each day, but did not see as many as
car load of good cattle, notwith-
standing from 1000 to 5000 head of
cattle we're arriving each day. While
In Chicago l witnessed the greatest
runs of cattle that have ever gone in
TO market. but in the multitude of
horned brutes there was scarcely one
that would pass for medium"
With NIL of this flood of cattle it is
quite remarkable to note the non .ap-
pearance of good ones-cattle that
have stood up by the corn cribs, or
have had good pasture. The whole
rage in the west would seem to be to
get rid Of cattle-to strip the ranges
Of them and reduce the beef stock in
trade. The result of this is a wide
range in prices. Good ones. what few
there are of them, going at from 81
to 81 per pound, while the thin flabby
brutes command from q to Sic.
Nothing else can explain the phe-
nomenally wide margin between com
mon and good cattle in market The
margin has been very great ever since
the June advance, but is now greater
than ever. The shrinkage in common
to medium stock leaves prime cattle
about on the same plane which they
have all along occupied, demonstrat-
Ing the truth Of the claim close obser-
vers have for some time been making
that it was good cattle only whose po-
sition was practically assured. There
is no apparent probability Of a surplus
OF good cattle for some time, and.
however other grades may fiuctu ate.
these should without difficulty hold the
satisfactory ground which they are
gaining. = Denuer Field aud Farm.

Change the food for your horses
often enough to make them relish it.
Improper feeding is the cause of
nine out of ten cases of sickness among
horses.
Every time you worry your horses
You shorten their lives and days of
Usefulness.
Sweat and dust cause the horse
shoulders TO gail. So do poor, ill-fit-
ing collars.
The temperature of water for horses
10 not SO much of an object as the puri-
ty of il. While it is best to have the
water cool. it is more important to
have it free from all impurities.
Mares in foal should have exercise
and moderate work. and under no cir
cumstances should they be subjected
to harsh treatment nor should they
ever be allowed to go where they
would be in danger of being frighten-
ed.
