An observant metropolitan barber
says that he can tel. ones physical
condition by the state OF the hair!
The Bible tells us that with his hair
gone Samson lost his strength. The
Romans considered badness a serious
afiiiction and julius Cesar was never
quite satisfied with himself because his
poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book
and one can readily trace in its various
expressions, lines, changes and COM
plexion the state of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and
yet has a pallid brightness, the face
upon whose cheeks nature paints a
rose of singular beauty and flush, more
marked in contrast with the alabaster
appearance of the forehead and nose
and lower part of the face, is one OF
those whom the skilled physician viii
tell you will some day dread the flu
neral month of March, because IL is
then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell us is
caused by this that and the other thing,
by microbes In the air, by micro organ
isms in the blood. by deficient nutri-
tioD, by thousand and one things,
but whatever the cause, decay begins
with a cough and the remedy that will
effectually stop the cause of that cough
cures the disease of the lungs.
That Is all there is of IL.
The cough is an evidence of vast
ing. To stop it effectually, remedy
must be used that will search out the
cause, remove that and then heal the
lung and do away with the cough. This
is the power, special TO itself, possessed
alone by Warmers Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy. This is no
new-fangled notion of narcotics aud
poisons, but an old fashioned prep
aration of balsams, roots and herbs,
such as was used by our ancestors
many years ago, the formula Of which
has been secured exclusively by the
present manufacturers at great trouble
and expense. IL is not a mere cold
dryer. 1t is system-searcher and
upbuilder and consumption expel-
liant. Where others fail, it wins, be-
cause il gets at the constitutional
cause and removes IL from the system.

Food for Young Chicks.

As feed for young chicks. boiled rice
and oatmeal are very good; but as they
are sticky it is best to stir in dry corn
meal or some other dry meal, to make it
easier to eat All soft food for chicks
should be so dry as to crumble when
dropped. Soft, watery messes should
be avoided. Feed chicks when young
four times a day. and as soon as they
can run around well feeding coop of
laths on three sides, the fourth one
being of boards, should be placed on
each spot where there are several coops
of chicks The spaces between the
laths should be large enough to admit
the chicks only. Turn the boarded
side to the south. to keep the sun off
the food. which should be placed inside,
so that the chicks can get it when they
please. This should be cracked corn
Or wheat; the wheat Is much the better,
but only enough of all should be given,

VALUE OF DRAINAGE.
Why 1t Pays to Drain Dry Land Under Al
Circumstances.

circumstances.
The past two years of drought, and
the pretense of some unwise writers
that the drought was caused by the
tile drainage, has greatly demoralized
the business. 1t will take some time to
recover. But it will again resume its
place in good farm improvements. II
is a benefit to the farm in any kind OF
q season. too wet. too dry, or medium.
1t prepares the soil to stand better the
extremes of the seasons. Plants mostly
get their moisture from the ground,
and it is better brought up by capillary
attraction when the soil is rendered
loose and porous by underground tile
drainage And underdrains are ten
times better than open bitches to take
the surplus water off. When the water
passes through the soil to the drain.
there is no loss of fertilizing material
by washing. and the ground will be
found ready for tillage in few hours
after the heaviest rains. In case of
tile drainage the soil will catch up and
retain for plant food all that the fall Of
snow or rain always brings to the
earth. The tile drain three feet deep
and twenty feet apart, with fall Of
two inches to the one hundred feet, will
work wonders in nearly all classes of
land. This is not necessarily confined to
land too wet for cultivation. 1t pays to
drain dry land, so that the water will
pass through and enrich the soil in
stead of taking off by surface water the
fertilizing gases brought down by rain
from the atmosphere, as we'll as the
artificial fertilizers applied by the
provident farmer. Let no variety of
reasons stop the grand work of drain
age, and never listen to the foolish
man who charges drought to such work.

Copperhead was to be infinitely more
wicked and despicable than an out

where a man stood at that time, and
what kind of record he made for pres
ent reading. The sentiment of
contempt for these who discouraged
enlis,ments, rejoiced over rebel vic
tories, and Knocked the sufferings
of women and children is as
strong with them as it WAS with their
fathers. They can not be induced to
think that it is proper to take an un-
concerned view of such facts simply
because they did not have personal
cognizanee of them. These facts have
passed into history. to be sure-ever-
