Thousands OF sad and desolate
homes have been made happy by
use of "R0se Buds" which have
proven an absolute cure for the fol-

ductive organs; whether from con-
tagious diseases, herdity, tight lac
ing, overwcrk, excuses or miscar-
riages. One lady writes us that

Leucorrhea or Whites, that one
application entirely cured her, and
Furthermore, she suffers no more
pain during the menstrual period.

Buds" are a simple, harmless prepa-
ratioc, but wonderful in effect. The
patient can apply it herself. No
doctors examination necessary to
which all modest women, especially
young ur married ladies seriously
object, From the first application

Cheerfulness is a great tonic.

- 49, : ~ - -
It is light and sill TO our mortal
nature; and to be without il is to be
without something that answers to
the mind for what clothing and shell
ter are to the body.
Yet it is not, in its noblest sense,
spontaneous, or mere attribute;
there is conscious desire and an eff
fort to be so.
For true cheerfuli ess does OF
turn the back on the evils OF life;
neither is it selfish, Il care for no.
body of the Miller of the Dee.
There is happiness of no genuine
kind in such indifference; it is only
pressing down the pedal that dead
ems all the tones of life
Neither does Sydney Smiths adj
vice to "take short views of life" ex-
press it.
For cheerfulness does not refuse
to look forward, because it is the pc
culiarity Of brave soul-a soul that
has no present bugbears it cannot
face, and none behind that it cannot
turn upon.
Cheerfulness never broods.
Ifa trouble or vexation can be
helped it looks at cnce for the rene
dy, and applies it; if it cannot be
helped, it accepts the inevitable as
the brave accept calamity, quietly
with calmness and resignation.
Cheerful people are busy people.
Cheerful people value whatever is
their own; they do not disparage
eithertheir work or their disposition.
Cheerful people have no mysteries
in secrets; for cheerfulness is like
sunlight-it illumes the darkest cor
nels.
Constant laughter is not cheerful
ness; it is more likely t. be the ex-
preston of folly.
Send US hence a thousand miles
from face always parading itself in
smiles and giggling.
Anybody can laugh; but to look
bright with all the muscles of the
countenance at rest, betokens glad
acceptance of life and all its duties
habit of taking things at their best
and making the best of them.

FARM and Garden Notes.

A little turpentine in the feed is
good for worms in hogs.
Have the feeding floor and feeding
tro CHS under good dry shelter.
A cross, ill-tlisposiiioned sew is
often dangerous to have around and
in nearly all cases should be fat,en-
ed and marketed.
But little hog cholera 10 reported.
Better stock, better care. and better
methods of feeding will eventually
wipe out the disease
1t is not often that hen will want
to sit at this time, aud il she does it
will require moe than the average
mfortable quarters if sue matches
out her eggs well.
The secret of success in raising
early broilers for market is not so
much in the Matching as in the feed
ing and care afterwards necessary to
secure vigorous. thrifty gain.
In making a starr with turkeys it
will always pay to get one OF the bet
ter breeds. The bronze is one OF the
best breeds. They are hardy and
grow rapidly to a good size.
Use all reasonable pains to keep
the poultry tame. 1t will be quite
advantageous when it begins to be
necessary to handle them, as it will
be when the hens begin to set and
hatch out.
Ground oats makes a splendid
food for young poultry, but in near
ly all cases it will be best to sitt
them and give the finer portions to
the young chickens and the ccarser
to the larger fowls.
Fatten pork to be turned of in
May, ..June, July or August. For
ten years past, without exception,
hogs have sold in these months for
two cents pound more than during
the packing season.
Dwarf pears and grapes are the
two fruits which are specially adapt
ed to small places where not much
room can be spared and where it is
| desired to combine the ornamental
with the useful.
Make pork from young animals
only. A pig so bred and fed as to
weigh 200 pounds at six months will
make much more profit than one that
takes eight or nine months to attain
| that weight.
