Damages? What for?"
For robbing you of your husband,

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH,

In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands; in others, again, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
ly coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from an increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.
Not all of the foregoing symptoms
are present in every case. The more
complicated the disease has become,
the greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. Generally the liver is
torpid and many times the kidneys
more or less involved.

HYDRAULIC RAMS.
4 Handy Appliance of Which Farmers
Should Make More Use.


Very few farmers understand tho
method of raising water by the use Of
the hydraulic ram, though there are
many places where they can be protita-
bly, employed. The invention is an
old one and apparently comes near per-
petual motion. The ram itself is a
pear-shaped iron cylinder placed in the
ground at depth sufficient to protect it
from the frost in winter. The spring or
well which supplies the water is situ-
ated at some point above, so that there
will be fall of one foot for every eight
feet of perpendicular height to which
the water is to be carried. For in
stance, if it is necessary to force water
up hill to the house which stands
forty-eight feet above the spring the
fall must be at least six feet from the
spring to the ram. The horizontal dis
lance has no effect on the calculation,
and it is often carried hundreds of feet,
and in some cases over thousand.
The principle on which the water Is
forced up is by compressed air. The
water passes from the spring in pipe,
Say GWO III u4dHCGcE, dlhSb q
check-valve which is lifted up by the
force of the water until it reaches GER
tain point, when portion of the water
is crowded by its own weight into tho
ram until the air is SO compressed that
it discharges itself into a small pipe, say
half an inch in diameter, which runs up
the elevation to the barn, house or
wherever wanted. In well-constructed
rams the power has been found to be
about two-thirds of the energy of the
falling water. Wherever small quanti-
ties of water are needed, this way OF
supplying the want has been found to
be very convenient. The only thing
that seems to stop the working is a fail
ure of the water supply. Night and day,
year after year, the little air engine
works away, needing no rest, oil OF
wind, simply water, and that in abun'
dance. One in Norfolk County, Mass,
has been in operation for many years
and is still at work supplying the own
er's house and barn with water. To one
who has never seen its workings it is
very interesting. No visible power in
sight, the little valve rises to its proper
elevation, remains there an instant
then drops to its base of operations, only
to start upward again, which is repeated
nually.-American Agriculturist.

Wire Worm,

The wire worm depredates on almos,

popularity will aid in distinguishing
them. Fall blowing and frequent har-

they often bury potato with stick

Is done before planting time. The

however, that one of the highest weights

Although the gray or Toulouse goose
may be regarded as the more popular
and, probably on account of its size, the
most profitable, it has formidable
rival in the white or Embden variety,
which is very fine in quality, but does
not attain to the same size. This does
not always appear to have been the
case, for old Moubray says: ''The
white appears to be the largest, if not
the heaviest, of it's kind, and, some may
even add, the prettiest, too, though that
must clearly be judged as matter Of
taste only"
The same writer goes on to say that
the Embden takes its name from tho

years since, imported, and whence, as
also from some parts of Prussia and Hol-

CHEESE AS FOOD.

st Should Not BE Eaten Until After It
Has Been Cooked.
Much difference of opinion has pre-
vailed in regard to the value of cheese as
food, but we are beginning to get at real
facts with better understanding of the
relations of the digestive functions to
food elements. Cheese has been much
lauded by many because of the great
amount of nutritive food elements it
contains, and people have been urged
Unfortunately to eat it freely, some
enthusiasts making the most extrava-
CANT claims for it as health diet. But
many people who have sought to follow
this counsel find themselves speedily
the victims of Indigestion and dyspep-
STA. They would consider it little short
of treason to charge their disordered
digestion to the cheese, but the truth is
the cheese is the most probable cause in
any such case. Although, so far as its
constituents are concerned, cheese is
fairly entitled to it's fame as model
food, yet in raw cheese these constitu-
ents are very difficult of solution by the
digestive juices-that is, raw cheese is
indigestible to adegree that makes it
unavailable asfood except to the strong
est and healthiest stomachs, and should
not be eaten by any one who finds on
trial that it gives his stomach the least
discomfort. 1t is found, however, that
cooking the cheese removes this diff
Guilty and makes cheese easy of diges-
ton, and as nutritious as tender meat
and more so. Various methods have
been adopted for this purpose, from
plain broiling, frying or toasting to the
most elaborate compound dishes. The
main point is to get the cheese cooked
so that the stomach can digest it.-Good
Housekeeping.
