WHAT AMI TO DO?

The symptoms of Biliousness are I'M
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an exeellentappetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea and Constipa-
ton may be a symptom or the two
orrhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
acidity or fiatulence and tenderness
in the pit of the stomach. To correct
all this if not effect a cure try Green s
August FloUer, it costs but trife and
thousands attest its efficacy.

A Chicken story.

The twenty-ffth Wisconsin and two
or three Others had been sent off on n
raid. In the afternoon the marching
column was attacked by the Confed-
crates. and Col Rusk was ordered TO
take a small force to drive the enemy
away. There was swamp, thlckly
grown with small trees and bushes,
through which the troops had omarch
There seemed to be some hesitancy
about entering the swamp. a sergeant
said. Colonel, | can take those men
through there, and he did so. Colonel
Rusk and several other officers, half
an hour after the enemy had been scat
tered, were riding past farmhouse,
when they discovered some of the sol
diers doing lively work in the way of
capturing poultry. The lady of the
house rushed up to Rusk and asked
excitedly:
Are these your men, Colonel?'
They are, madam"
well, l wish you would tell them
not to steal my chickens"
Madam, your chickens are per
fectly safe. The sergeant over there
is in charge of these men, and he will
allow no plundering. Why, Madam,
that sergeant is Methodist minister,
and would not permit anything of the
kind to be done.
The lady threw up her hands and
said, "A Methodist minister! Oh,
Lord. shan't have chicken left"

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

BIGGER DRAUGHT HORSES Now
1t is remarkable how rapidly we are be
coming educated up to the heavy
draught horse, says the Nebraska Cut
TRAITOR. Twenty years ago almost
everybody then said the imported
draught horses were too big, and as
for the grades they would be useless.
Now we can't get the stations large
enough for breeding, and the grades
are best appreciated by their large
size for the city streets, and sell al
prices that awaken the envy of light
horse breeders.
The city markets want all our high
grades, and are willing to pay for
them. The price is a secondary con
sideration when they can find the
extra heavy high grades. The de
mand for them is increasing faster
than the supply As the city traffic
increases, the merchant desires to in
crease the size of his wagon and his
horse as we'll The wagon-makers
are making heavier wagons, the har-
nesSmakers make heavier harness,
and one big heavy horse does the
work of two horses twenty years ago.
Our farmers, too, are using their fine
draught mares to work TO remarkable
advantage, and we will in a few years
more require a team of full blood
draughts on the farm in America, as
they have for ages on the farms of
Europe. What would the English
and French farmers think of trying to
pillow with pair of our little American
scrubs or trotters.
Many jumped at the conclusion that
the draught horses could not trot or
travel on the hard roads without be-
ing all stove up, yet we gave the most
practical example last month Of the
$4,000 full blood draught horses on the
stone paved streets of Paris, driven in
a sweeping trot to those immense
double deck omnibuses, as only a
Frenchman can drive, and these
horses have an average life of over
six years of this work, many of them
twice that long.
American teamsterS and American
farmers are fast progressing with this
heavy horse interest. and we will only
stop when we get our city teams well
supplied with the best high grades as
heavy as the full bloodS of Europe,
and our farms well stocked with the
full bloods and high grades to raise
these popular and profitable big
horses
The draught horse enthusiasm has
firmly taken hold in our Western
States. Our importations of draught
stations are increasing every year.
and the demand grows year 10y year,
and the great draught horse interest
is rapidly bringing wealth and pros
perity TO our country and gives us the
world for our market as far as we can
get the European size with the Amer
lean style, which opens up TO our
American horse breeders such bright
future.
