Poisoned by serofaia

Is the sad story Of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their
own. Scrofula is more especially than
any other a hereditary disease, and for
this simple reason: Arising from i'm
pure and insufficient blood, the dis
cast locates itself in the l~ympbatics,
which are composed of white tissues;
there is a period OF foetallife when the
whole body consists Of white tissues,
and therefore the unborn child is es-
pecially susceptible to this dreadful
disease. But there Is a remedy for
scrofula, whether hereditary or acquir-
ed. IL Is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
by It's powerful effect on the blood,
eXpells all traces of the disease and
gives to the vital fluid the quality and
color Of health. If you decide to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any
substitute.

The people Of Tucson and other

feeding the grand army Of tramps that
have been rallroaded east, have been
making a mistake. While it is true
that there may be a few unfortunates
on the road, men who want work but
cannot get It, yet the fact remains
that the greater portion of them are
the same old buns that have been
tramplng for years aud won't work
when they can steal or beg. Wednes-
day evening a carload Of these buns
came in from the west and were in
town for an hour or so before the train
pulled out again. They circulated
about town inquirlng about the differ
ent places, and finding out that the

eating his supper and the tramps who
sat down at his table began helping
themselves to the food that he was
eating. II there is anything that Bar
nett is particular about it is the priv
elege Of eating the food he orders, so
when the tramps commenced eating
his yictuals he felt somewhat annoyed.
AS an expression of his annoyance he
picked up a chair and waded into the
gang. About this time Tommy got
back from the kitchen with a sixshoot-
er as long as his arm, accompanied by
Fatty, the cook, with an axe, and the
dishwasher, who had q skillet of hot
grease. The tramps thought it was
about time for them to depart and
they departed. They went down the
street to another Chinese restaurant,
but they had learned they could not
carry everything before them, so they
ordered their meals and paid for them.
They got out of town the same evening.

FOR SHEEP RAIsERs.
How Long Can Ewes and Lambs Be Kept
to Advantage?


As with all other stock much depends
upon the growth made, the kind Of
sheep and the conditions under which
they are kept. Generally the safest
rule to follow is to market when the
sheep have reached their full CONNER
cial value That is, whenever a sheep
will sell at the highest price then is
when it should be sold. But with this,
as with all rules regarding tie manage
ment of stock on the farm, there must
be exceptions. and with sheep a good
breeding animal can often be kept I'M
til they are ten or twelve years old. If
kept to maturity they can, in very
many cases, be kept until they are five
years old, especially the ewes. if they
they are exceptionally good ones, can
generally be marketed when they are
three.
With sheep that are raised more es-
pecially for market it is often the case
that they can be marketed to a better
advantage as lambs than as matured
sheep, and especially so when they can
be made ready for market reasonably
early. When only a certain number of
sheep can be kept on the farm with
profit, and the surplus is to be market
ed, the market value should determine
when it is best to sell. Whenever the
most clean profit can be realized is the
time to let 60 With sheep raising as
with nearly or quite all other farm
products, every advantage must be
taken to secure the best profit
and the time and manner of
marketing are often important features
in this. Growing well is important,
but selling well is equally so. If
lamb will sell to the best advantage
when it is three weeks old then is the
time to sell it If it can be kept until
it is three months old and return a
larger profit than at three weeks it will
be better to keep it, of course other
things being equal. Again, it may be
more profitable to clip two fleeces of
wool and then market as mutton, of
course having fat and in good condi-
ton. By this time sheep should be
well matured, and, if fat, will be at its
best and should sell at the highest
price for matured mutton.
1t is only where a eve is an excep-
tional breeder that it will pay to keep
her longer than five years. Under what
may be considered average conditions
after eve is five years old she begins
to lose vigor and the safest plan is to
sell at that age. 1t is of no advantage
to sell off good ewes unless there are
younger sheep to take their place.
Ewes can always be kept longer with
profit than wethers, and often lambs
can be sold to better profit than ma
tured sheep So that no infallible rule
can be laid down as to when it will be
best to sell.-N. J. Shepherd, in Wool
and Mutton,

TIMELY FIELD NOTES.

THE need of ice is now being felt by
great many persons. 1t is neither
difficult nor expensive to put up small
amount of ice. Suppose you try it next
winter.
Do NOT allow harvesting to keep the
field of late corn from having a needed
blowing. The last blowing destroys
many weeds and usually increases the
yield materially.
PASTURES which are infested with
ragweeds can be materially benefited
by moving the weeds late this month
before the seeds have matured. Com
paratively few weeds will ripen seeds
if this is done.
DESTROY noxious weeds along the
roadside. Many of them are distributed
and allowed to seed there and soon get
out on the adjoining farms. District
road supervisors should see that they
are not allowed to mature seed.
THE mower. binder and rake which
have stood outside since harvest time
last year are in poor condition and will
need mcnding or will break down when
you are busy. Lumber for making
machinery sheds is cheaper than ma
chines.-Orange Judd Farmer.

SELECTING SEEDS.
Pick Out the Best Plants and PreseI
for That purDOse.

Pick Out the Best Plants and Preserve
for That Purpose.
Owing to the facility with which
farmers can supply themselves from the
seedsmen. few save their own seeds
now as they did in former times. 1t is
so convenient to look over the assert
ments to be found in the seed stores
and select what one wants for the gar
den for small consideration that saw
ing seeds at the right time is scarcely
thought of by most families having
gardens Still there are in many cases
manifest advantages in saving at least
a portion of the seeds which may be
wanted the next season. says the South
ern Farmer. In this way one can feel GER
tain of having for his various crops
seeds which will grow and be true to
name if proper care is taken in gather
ing, curing and preserving them from
injury until wanted for use. Do not
take seeds from the plant until perfect
" mature. Select from the best stalks
and spread for a few days in dry
room, and when they have been care
fully cleaned put in small bags, label
and hang out of harms way until
planting time. 1t is good plan to
single out the plants from which the
seeds are to be saved some time before
the ripening and note such as are the
most productive and vigorous.

Republicans TO BE Relied Upon In the Inn
pending Crisis.

Pthuhh8 S1hshos
1t is to the republican party that this
friends of honest money of both politi-
cal organizations look for the best work
in this crisis. In the house of repre-
sentatives of the Fifty-third congress
there will be 12S or 129 republicans out
of the $50 members of that body. This
number, of course, will be far from
majority of the whole house, but it will
constitute powerful nucleus around
which the democratic friends of sound
currency can rally. On the devotion of
these republicans to the cause of sound
money the people can rely with the
most implicit confidence. All the re-
publican congressman, it is true, are
not sound-money men, but it is safe to
say that not more than dozen of them
at the outside will prove recreant to the
cause when the day of action comes
Outside of the silver-producing states
almost all the republican members of
the house will undoubtedly be on the
right side when the time for practical
work on the finance question arrives.
Many democrats, too, will be on the
sound-money side. Most of those from
the eastern states are as devoted to the
cause as are the republicans, and the
presidents influence and patronage
will put many other democrats in the
same line, but it is on the republicans,
after all, that the chief reliance
for wise legislation will be placed.
They will hold the post of honor in the
fight. Their place in the battle is in
the advance, and they will accept it as
cheerfully and maintain it as valiantly
as Leonidas and his Spartans did at
Therr opyle. On them the first and
chief force of the attack of the enemy
will fall The country understands the
situation in this respect and is hopeful
of the result Perhaps, as in the earlier
conflict, treachery may open to tho
enemy the avenue to the point of adj
vantage, and thus bring disaster, but
the people are confident that the re-
publican party at least will not furnish
the traitor.
The country will be made to undera
stand at the outset that the republicans
recognize no partisanship in the finan-
cial question. In all branches of the
government the democrats are in con-
troll, and to them, as the people are ac-
customed to Judge such matters, will
belong the entire responsibility for the
conduct of the government on this is
sue. However, in this exigency the re-
publicans will repudiete this narrow
estimate of party duty and accounta-
bility, and will sink partisanship in
patriotism. There will be no ma
neuvering on their side for party adj
vantage. The sole consideration with
them will be the country's prestige
and prosperity. They see the peril
which confronts industry and trade,
and their endeavor will be to avert it.
In doing this they will, as concerns
themselves. keep politics rigidly in the
the background, and content them
selves with the reflection that the coun-
try will judge their .sives and their
actions justly.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

FLAVOR OF EGGS.
1t Depends Largely on the Food Given tn
the Hens.

the Hens.
The flavor of eggs depends very much
on the kind of food given to the poultry.
When hens are fed largely or almost
exclusively on milk, the yollk is lighter
in color, the white has milky look,
and the whole egg is watery and less
firm in texture than those laid by grain
fed hens. The taste of the egg is also
affected, being insipid and unsatisfac-
tory when boiled or poached, and less
fine for ordinary cooking purposes
even. There is no use in saying that
the idea of the quality of eggs being
mere within; since it is a well-known
fact that the eggs of fowls kept in the
neigh borhood of the sea and fed almost
entirely on fish-taken as they come,
embracing the strong and oily as well
as the more delicate sorts-have IAN
ancient and fish-like" taste, if not
smell" and eggs coming from those
regions sell for less in the market, in
some instances. than those coming from
districts farther inland.
The reason why hens fed on 'slops"
of milk, etc, are able to give no better
eggs to their owners is because the
'old, old story" is repeated in their
case. You demand the tale of brick"
of your servants, but you give them
no straw to make them with. Curd
hardly comes under the head of milk,
and there is little danger of having it
in large quantities to offer to your
fowls. 1t contains all the best and
most nutritious portions of the milk,
without it's objectionable, watery
qualities. But the true feed for laying
fowls is one-third or one-quarter In
dian corn. ground or otherwise, and
oats or wheat. together with milk and
whatever scraps from the house are OBJ
tainable, and as much green vegeta-
bic food as they will eat, and with
these, com bined and fed properly, your
eggs will be of the true gold and silver
stamp-when the cooks fire has re-
fined them and prepared them as a rel
ish for your breakfast table.-Poultry
