Unlike other cathartics, the effect of Ayers Pills is to stren0fhe" the excretory organs and restore to them their regular and natural ac- tion. Doctors everywhere prescribe them. In spite of immense compe- tition, they have always maintained their popularity as family med. tcine, being in greater demand now than ever before. They are put up both in vials and boxes. and whether for home use or travel, Ayers Fills are preferable to any other. Have you ever tried thems Ayers Pills il, Is; Prepar,d by pr l. C. Aver & O..

TENAclTY OF LIFE IN SNAKES.

REPTILES Frozen to Brlttleness
arm ed Into Life In Short Tim ).
The tenacity OF life possessed by
snakes is very wonderful. Last winter
some men were digging a well out in
the country and closeto the Meramec,
in Missouri, when they came on a
cavity in the ground which contained
nest Of snakes. The weather was
bitter cold and the snakes were ap-
parently dead. They were all black
snakes and harmless, so che men
loaded them into the bucket and sent
them to the top, just for curiosity.
They were thrown out upon the ground
and in q little while were frozen as
stiff as so many sticks. Their bodies
become so brittle with the frost that
in handling them several were broken
like icicles. One of the men when he
went home at night took two or three
OF the largest along to brighten his
wife. He succeeded very well, accord
ing to the Globe-Democrat, and, leav.
ing the snakes on the floor in the
kitchen before the fire, sat down to
eat his supper, forgetting all about
them. While the meal was in progress
his wife who had left the room, sud-
denly gave a terrific scream that
made him jump up in p anic and run
to see what was the matter. AS he
opened the kitchen door she fell
against him, almost fainting with
fright and too badly scared to tell
what allied her. He soon found out,
for on going in he at first thought he
chad 'em again. for the room seemed
full OF snakes. Warmed by the
genial glow of the kitchen fire. the
frozen snakes had come to life and
were coursing round the room with
soul-chilling energy He did not care
to tackel the job of killing them there,
SO pushed the outer door open and
they soon found their way out, and
had not gone 100 yards before they
were Self as ever with the cold. He
followed them out and finished them
with q pole, but says he wiflnevert trust
a snake, again, no matter how hard
frozen.

HOW 1T FEELS TO BE a TWIN.

One of a Pair Describes the ExnerI-s

Although imitation is the sincerest
fiattery yet no woman likes to know
that another one has a hat or gown

IN question, I never thought OF that
until one day heard man say May
waspretty. Well, as | looked exact
ly like May, I began to take an inter
est in her such as had never done be-
lore. Poor May couldn't understand
my attentions at first, but one day [
told her wanted her to look as sweet
as possible and then I would COPY
every touch that she put to her gown,
her hair or her hat, and if she looked
pleasing IN my eyes then I knew did
also. 1t was better than q mirror.
Tor could take in every detail, and
between the genuine cheval glass and
my flesh and blood model l managed
to look quite nice-at least May did"
she laughed, as ii to excuse the vanity
this speech represented.
1T IS all very vel for twins to
dress alike providing they have fea-
lures exactly the same-in fact, are
counterparts one OF the other-but to
wear duplicate gowns simply because
you are sisters is q horrid custom.
They may not look at all alike, and
what would be suitable and becoming
to one might be hideously ugly on the
other. There is everything in know
Ing what suits you, but in my case
can see that May and are alike as
two peas. Therefore, if I fix her so
that she looks charming my little act

course, [ am used to it at home-to
see girl coming across the lawn OF
some hotel escorted by couple OF

she must feel the same way every

Proper Care IN the Feeding Of AMI

~ r. " I'd. x u
According to German experiments,
food equal to two per cent OF the
weight Of an animal must first 20 to.
sustain life before any gain can be
made; thus for a lOOpound animal
two pounds would be fed without
profit, for q 200 pound animal four
pounds, and for 800 pound animal
six pounds There is the most profit
in smaller pigs and quicker returns.
It is possible to put any amount Of
feed into hog and get no return for
il. Asan exchange says: ,"Swine have
an immense power for the consump-
tion OF food, and can use up grain re-
markably fast without making any
commensurate return, if the feeding is
not done with Judgment. On the
othershand, under proper conditions,
they can turn the grain to flesh with
as handsome q margin for profit as
can any stock on the farm. 2 "A rapid
and constant growth are necessary to
avoid loss and secure the greatest
profit.

Poultry Yard Talks,

In starting out to run large poul,
try ranch, begin small. Books on
poultry keeping are useful, but they
cannot supply the place OF experience.
& Some people could never succeed
with one hen, let alone hundred. It
requires ''gumption" to manage poul-
try so as to make profit out OF it,
But there is no doubt that aman who
can manage from one, to ten thousand
fowls can make money out OF them.
Other things being equal, The man
who succeeds best with poultry is one
who has. a faculty for attending to de-.
tails in the nick OF time and in just the
right way. "a time for everything
done in its time" is q sound mhxim
for the poultry keeper. That eggs

cause They Want Luxurles.
A Canadian legislator who has been
devoting some time to an investiga-
ton of the matter has officially re-
ported more than half dozen reasons
which influences the emigration of
Canadian farmers into the United
States. One OF the causes, he gravely
informs us, is a taste for luxury
There is q good deal more in this
discovery than would at first appear.
It indicates that the Canadian tiller
OF the soil has learned that his
American brother is not such cal
amitous object as few bowling
dervishes and political freaks would
have this country believe. Across
the Canadian border have foated
seductive whispers Of farmland homes
where the gay resonance ofthe piano
is heard, where tired muscles seek rest
on something softer than. straw on a
barn floor, and where books and
pictures abound. With an envious
heart our Canadian agriculturist has
learned that this is a country where
signed artists proof etchings are sold
upon the bargain-counter and where
genuine imported articles OF bric-a-
brac are placed within the reach Of
the most lowly. No wonder that to
the seeker after luxury the prospect
is pleasing beyond expression.
Seriously speaking, however, a taste
for luxury in all immigrant is not q
bad thing. It is Infinitely better than
a taste for dynamite, anarchy and

Lime In Horticulture,

by mixing night-soil and fowl manure
after being treated in the way I have
mentioned, with dry wood ashes in
about equal quantities, it makes q
very powerful fertilizer for most any
kind Of crops more particularly for
hops and onions. It works in the

dens they would see an Improvement
in their crops that would give a good
return for outlay of cash .and the
small amount OF extra labor in cart
ing the lime and putting it on theland
at a proper time and in aproper man
ner. The best time for putting on
lime on a hop garden to do good is
soon after the plant start in growth
in the spring, by forlSing it around the
plants. This does good deal of,
good work in killing insects and grubs
that infest the plant and damage the
young tender shoots, as they begin to
start above ground, for quick lime is
a perfect grub killer. I had the oppor-
tunity Of watching the effect oflime on
the potato grub last spring. The
slightest touch of quick lime on a
grub and he bursts, and for fruit trees
