Martyrs to Headache

Seek relief in vain, until they begin to
use Ayers Sarsaparilla. Then they re-
greet the years of suffering they might
have escaped had they tried this remedy
earlier. The trouble was constitutional
not local; and, until Ayers Sarsapa~
rilla did its effective work as an
Alternative and Blood Purifier. they were
compelled to suffer.
The wife of Samuel Page, 81 Austin
St, Lowell, Mass, was, for long time,
subject to severe headaches, the result
of stomach and liver disorders. A per-
feet cure has been effected by Ayers
Sarsaparilla.
Frank Roberts, TT Washington St,

rible headaches, and until he took
Ayers Sarsaparilla, never found any

The Americas Republican says
"A great deal is being said about
what newspapers ought to do for
the people. 1t now and then might
be proper to hint that the people
ought to do something for the news
papers," True, o king ! If the
people would do half as much for
their home papers as their home
papers do for them, it would not
only insure a first class paper in
every county, but would rapidly
advance every other interest.

Food For Gees.

James Heddon, of Dowagiac. Mich,
gives formula for preparing a food
for bees, which is highly recommends
ed. 1t is as follows: Into a boiling
pan put three pounds of water. heat il
until it boils. and with wooden pad
die stir this boiling water rs you sift
INTO it ten pounds of sranuiated sugar.
When i. is ali dissolved, and
the sirup is boiling, pour into
It half tcacupful of water,
IN which has previously been dissolved
a large teaspoon level full of tartario
acid. Stir it moment longer, and
then remove it from the fire. This
sirup will not crystalize il tho acid is
used In proportion mentioned. and is
of full strength, and the strip is boil
ed as directed. Such strip. when cool,
is the consistency of honey, and the
bees store and seal it as readily as they
receive it-De.roH Free Press.

How to Grow Forty Bushels of Wheat
to the Acre.

Turn the land as deep as possible
with a No. 40 pillow if you can get 1t.
If not convenient to use the No. 40 use
No. 20. Soon after turning harrow
the surface lightly. and let it alone till
the middle OF October, then either sow
or drill bushel and q half to the acre
and harrow lightly again and roll the
land. When you SOW the wheat sow a
peck OF clover seed TO the acre. Or il
you prefer, SOW this amount 10 the
acre on the wheat This will probably
give you a good stand of clover, which
will start well after the wheat is cut.
Sow ten pounds of land plaster on
each acre AFTER the first rain after the
wheat Is cut, and while the young
clover is wet The plaster does no
good If sOwn when the clover is dry.
The clover will grow fast and by the
10th Of August will be knee high or
higher. Turn this heavy growth o:
clover under with a No. 40 or 20 plow
as before and harrow lightly SO as not
to disturb the clover turned under, and
do no more until the 18th of October.
Now, sow wheat and clover seed as be-
fore except that you must always sow
only half peck of clover
seed to the acre after the first
sowing. Sow on the same land for
i've years and our word for il. the
fifth year you will reap forty bushels of
good wheat to the acre. Land must be
moderately good. Tolerably poor land
will yield rs above indicated if treated
as directed. The result will be: Seven
bushels for the first year. twelve BUSH
els for the second year. twenty bushels
for the third year, thirty bushels for
the fifth year. Try it, and our word
Tor 1t. this will be the result Then. If
you want crop Of corn, ten or fifteen
barrels per acre can be produced. The
plan can't be complete failure. but
will surely improve the land and in
crease the crop.-Cor. karlsruhe

HERE AND THERE.

1t requires firmness and self denial
to buy only what you can pay for. but
without it you are in danger of getting
into the habit of buying on time and
being always in debt.
The farmer is more tempted to run
in debt than any other man. because
dealers are so willing to trust hirr; his
| farm is good basis for security. and
it is property which can not be hidden
or carried away.
In the strawberry patch the work
OF keeping down the weeds and grass
can be kept up until we have a hard
frost. If discontinued too early some
will mature seed and add to the work
OF keeping clean next year.
1t is an easy matter to have a small.
steady income to meet the little ont.
goes. The most prosperous farmers
are those :sho rarely go to town with.
out a package of butter. a basket Of
eggs. some poultry. fruit or vegetables
to help pay the bills.
1t is unwise 20 put colts to hard
work very young. Not only the phys
ical system, but the disposition is
liable to be ;r;ured. The best judges
agree that no colt intended for agri-
cultural labor ought TO be hard-worked
before it is three years old.
-Thirty-three pounds OF Swede tur-
nips per cay ii fed whole and sepa-
rately will taste milk, but when sliced
and mixed with an equal quantity Of
mangels, or when pulped and mixed
with hay, will not give a bad flavor,
says Prof. Brown. of Ontario.
DO not try to force your pullets to
early laying. Those that begin to lay
at four and five months old become
dwarfed in size. The growth is
checked, as can easily be understood.
Then, early layers never attain to the
size OF the birds that begin to lay late
in the season.
1t should be remembered that
young trees and plants require good
care and attention, at least until good
start TO grow has been secured. Neg.
lcct is the principal cause of trees fail
ing to grow. and in many cases the cost
of properly caring for them would be
a small item compared with the loss Of
the tree.
The uses of the cotton plant are
developing rapidly. Formerly the fiber
of the blossom was The only part
utilized. Then the seed began TO sup
ply a large proportion OF the .'olive
oil" and lard i'm the country. and
now the hulls are found to be cheaper
and better than wood for paper pulp.
At this rate cotton may soon be king
again.
One help to get out of deb: is TO
make the farm produce. rs far as pos
sible. the family supplies. There are
i'm debt who depend on butchers
'or almost the entire supply of meat.
This should not he. Others who have |

Fleshy women are dress-makers' ter

with slender women in view, and when
applied to fat women, without due dis
elimination. make Of them nightmares.
One can drape thin woman to give
her the curves and dimpled lines Of a
developed form. But rare is the woman
who can overcome tho ponderosity Of
flesh. With troad-busked corsets and
eitteeti-bchea Wrists; the same bodies
which the slender woman wear, strained
till it fits like eelskin, is buttOned over
the fat woman and makes her look fat
ter than she is. Not one woman of two
hundred pounds in four dozen know
hcw to Sring out the dignity which Is
possible to such figure. A fat woman
in the usual plain, long habit bodice Is
always less well clothed than she ought
to be; sometimes. If she draws hsr cor
set lacing too tight, an object which in
plain English is disgusting.
!salf the troubles of flesh arse from
treating it in a way Numerically oppo-
site to the right one. The heshy woman
when she observes that her waist meas
ure is growing larger. sets her foot
down commonly rs resolutely as she
may agninst euch an undesirable pro.
gression. She buys the stiffest stays,
warranted ''unbreakable, !" in the mar
ket, and when the mOdiste fits her, two
attendants lay their hands on the rebel
lious flesh. and push and squeeze it to-
gethcr, until it makes great protuber.
ances above and below, and a grooming.
saueaking, machine-confined area be-
tween.
Now the fat woman makes mistake
when she disCloses to anon-sympathetic
world just how stout she has become.
That is little matter which is her own
secret, and one which she should guard
seduously. The woman Of perfect form
is the only one who can afford, for
aesthetic reasons. to display her figure
in close fitting polonaise or basque.
The woman whose figure is too full
should treat it exactly as does she whose
slenderness is too fragile disguise it
with long, rather loose. lines.
To come to details, the stout woman
should shun the short waist Or Joseph
inc bodice as she would the plague.
She should never yield to the seduc-
lions OF a belt or girdle. She should
never wear q bask or any garment
which makes a break Mt the waist all
the way round. The gown which gives
her repOse. dignity and almost grace is
the gown which gives you her figure at
one sweep. adding to her apparent
height and taking the eye of her girth,
making the proportions better. She
wants the longest lines she can get and
the most graceful curves. She should
avoid any thing which breaks up her
attire into parts. leading the eye &c
study her in detail. She wants to be
an imposing whole with presence as
attractive in its way as that OF the
smaller woman. The tea-gown is the
first gown in years which showed her
her opportunity. The tea-gown itself
does not suit her, but it is very gen.
orally built on the model OF a loose
princess robe. and some modi-
OF the princess gown is the
stout woman's fit attire.-DeaSsr Re.
