"WHAT AN ASS AM II"

The ass thought himself as fine look'
ing as his neighbor, the horse, until he,
one day, saw himself in the looking
glass, when he said "What an ass nm II"
Are there not scores Of people who
cannot see themselves as others see
themP They have bad blood, pim-
pies, blotches, eruptions, and other kim
bred disfiguremcnts. All these annoy.
ing things could be entirely eradicated,
and the skin restored to silly whites
ness" If that world-famed remedy, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
were given fair trial.
It cures all humors, from the ordi-
nary blotch, pimple or eruption to tho
worst scrofula, or the most inveterats
blood-taints, no matter what their ma
ture, or whether they be inherited or
acquired. The "Golden Medical Dis
covery" Is the only blood purifier
guaranteed to do just what 1t IS rec
commended to, or money refunded.

A Suggestion Worth Considering.

II is well known that oil is commonly
used incidentally in cases of consumption
in persons. 1t has been proved that a
diet largely consisting Of cotton-seed
oil has been effective in the treatment
and cure of this disease. Why may it
not be beneficial to use this oil in the
shape Of cotton-seed meal more largely
than heretofore as food for the cows in
dairies where the whole effort is to
draw out the last drop of fat from the
system to enrich the milk? Raw cot
ton-seed oil is cheap enough TO use as
food. and if fed with the bran so lib
orally used it would reduce the pro-
portion of heterogeneous elements in the
food and increase the fats.-Henry

ABOUT FOUL BROOD.
The Most Difficult Problem ConfrontinS
the Apisrist To-Day.


In paper before the North Ameri-
can Bee-Keepers' Association at Keo
kuk, Allen Pringle gave the following
concerning foul brood: This is the most
serious and difficult question confront
ing the apiarist to-day. The foul-brood
problem has stood the longest-a def
ance to our heads and menace to our
pockets. During the honey flow is the
best time for operating.
In the evening remove the bees and
queen from the diseased colony, and
place them in clean hive, with founda
ton starters. -Four days afterwards
take away all frames of comb and
starters from them, and give them full
sheets of foundation, or empty comL
which you know to be free from tho
faint of disease. The colony is now
cured, and will rear brood, healthy
and free from the disease, until COZ,
tracted again through the ingatheriny
of diseased honey, or otherwise. The
honey is the chief, if not the only medi-
UNI of the contagion, and one drop OF
the affected honey brought into a
healthy colony, if used for larval
food, is sufficient to start the dis
ease To cure foul-brood colony in
the fall, after the honey season is over,
remove the bees and queen from theif
hive and place them in a clean hive
with as many frames of healthy, sealed
honey or sirup as may be required for
| winter! The combs must be complete
ly filed and sealed SO that the bees
| will retain the diseased honey they
may bring with them until it is digest.
ed, instead of depositing it in. the
combs, and so that the queen may have
no place to deposit eggs until all the
danger is past. This is the simple plan
| of curing foul-brood, followed by Mr..
.McEvoy, our inspector, and is invari-
ably successful, "a. He has; treated hun
dreds of cases during the past season,
without a single failure. Since he be.
gan his official work, in May last. under
our act, he has examined nearly hun
bred apiaries and thousand colonies.
Many whole apiaries which were fairly
rotten with the disease, are now found
to be perfectly sound and healthy. "a

Poultry-Keeping Pays Well.

From many years experience, l be-
iiev,, taking one year with another,
poultry keeping under proper condi-
tons, will pay better than any other
industry connected with farming, con-
sidering the amount of capital invested.
If any one tells you he can make a
profit of "a or S. per year on every hen,
or more On every duck, you may make
up your mind that he has secret which
the ordinary farmer does not possess.
Nv accounts show that when grain is
worth sixty cents per bushel. poultry
can be grown for seven or eight cents
per pound. and eggs for ten cents per
Dozen. This will give from Sl.s0 to
o. profit ON ench fowl, II one manages
shrewdly and economically. In this
calculation l reckon the manure as a
compensation for the lsbor.-Americsn
