On the road

On the road
to health-the consumptive who
reasons and thinks. Consumption
is developed through the blood.
It's a scrofulous affection of the
lungs-a blood-taint. Find a per-
feet remedy for scrofula, in all its
forms-something that purifes the
blood, as well as claims to. That,
if it's taken in time, will cure Con-
sumption.
DIR. Pierce has found it. It's his
"Golden Medical Discovery" As
a strength restorer, blood cleanser,
and iesh-builder, nothing like it is
known to medical science. For
every form of Scrofula, Bronchial,
Throat, and Lung affections, Weak
Lungs, Severe Coughs, and kindred
ailments, it's the only remedy so
sur that it can be guaranteed. IF
it doesn't benefit or cure, in every
case, you have your money back.

WATER IN BEDS.
1t is quite important to have 3
convenient and full supply of water
for stock in winter. Good water of
moderate temperature promotes the
growth and fattening Of cattle at this
season as much as anything that is
usually given them. 1t is especial
ly necessary for the abundant pro-
duction of milk. In rainy and
stormy weather in winter, not to
speak of the danger of slipping and
falling, it is always a tedious and
d~isagreeable thing to drive stock to
a distant watering place, and the
colder and stormier the weather the
more necessary is it to keep stock
under shelter. Perhaps one of the
best provisions for stock wafer in
winter is large cisterns. These can
be dug and walled at moderate ex-
pense. In this country in most sit
uations ~cisterns hold water without
being cemented and it is a poorly
equipped farm indeed that is not
provided with outbuildings sufficient
to keep up a necessary supply OF
water for even a considerable bunch
of cattle. Water can be drawn from
these cisterns into troughs, either
within or outside the stalls occupied
by the herd. II has been proposed
to substitute water tanks for cisterns
but in the opinion OF the writer the
latter would be the best and least
expensive to construct or to keep in
repair. In cisterns the water would
never get too cold for use in the
winter and would be all the more
acceptable on account OF It's
temperature in summer. The warm
ing of water in winter by artificial
means may be very good in theory
but in practice, however beneficial
it might be, it will be found in most
instances to be expensive if not inn
possible. If there is anything su-
'perior to cisterns it is deep wells
operated by wind mills or horse
power.

The rustic choir's greatest show was
always made in the anthem, in which

splendid musical display--of its kind.
People came from o long distance to

left without the sermon. No wonder
Shakespeare made Sir John Falstaff lose
his voice with "hallooing and singing Of
anthems" To be sure he was guilty Of
an anachronism, for there were no an
thems in the fat knights time, but IL
may reasonably be supposed that he had
become so impressed with this part Of
the service in his own day that he
dropped into the nod which even Homer
