Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia. another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion or prOStratiOn, an
other with pain here and there. and in this
way they all present, alike to themselves and
their easy-gong and indifferent, over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribe5 his pills and pOtiOnS.
assuming them to be such, when, in reality.
they are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of
the cause Of suffering, encourages his prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suffer
ing patient gets no better, but probably
worse by reason of the delay, wrong treat
ment and subsequent complications. A
proper medicine, like DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription directed 10 the cause would
have entirely removed the disease, thereby
dispelling all those distressing symptoms and
instituting comfort instead of prolonged
misery.

HOW TO JUDGE WOOL.

The finest and sofest wool is always
on the shoulders of the sheep. An ex-
pert on Judging sheep always looks at
the wool on the shoulders first 4
writer of experience in rearing fine
wooded sheep and in handling wool
gives the following suggestions to
Wool and Mutton for selecting a good
wooded sheep:
Always assuming that the wool to be
inspected is really fine, we first ex-
anime the shoulders as a part whe-e
the finest wool Is to be found. This
we take as a standard, and compare it
with the wool from the ribs, the thigh,
the rump and shoulder parts, and the
nearer the wool from the various por-
tions Of the animal approaches the
standard the better. First we scrutinize
the fneness, and if the result is salts
factory we pronounce the fleece in re-
spect of fneness ''even." Next we
scrutinize the length of the staple,
and if we find that the wool on the
ribs, thigh and back approximates
reasonably in length to that of our
standard, we again declare the fleece
as regards length of staple, ''true and
even" We next satisfy ourselves as
to the density of the fleece, and we do
this by closing the hands upon n por-
ton of the rump and loin wool, these
points being usually the thinnest and
most faulty. If this again gives salts
faction We designate all the wool 'even
as 10 density. Now, to summarize
these separate examinations: If the
fleece is nearly of equal length on
shoulder, rib and back, and density
on shoulder and across the Ioins, we
conclude that we have perfect sheep
for producing valuable wool.

How to Cure a Black Eye.

The Medical Times some time ago
gave this antedote for black eye
There is nothing to compare with a
tincture or strong infusion of capsicum
annuum, mixed with an equal bulk of
mucilage or gum arabic, and with the
addition of few drops of glycerine.
This should be painted all over the
bruised surface with camel's hair
pencil and allowed to dry on, a second
or third coating being applied hs soon
as the first is dry. If done as soon as
the injury is inflicted the treatment
will invariably prevent the blackening
of the abused tissue. The same remedy
has no equal in rheumatic. sore or stiff
neck.

Is Life Short or LOngH

If life is go short as some think it is, it may
be made to seem much longer and sweeter
by better care for our comforts. Minor
troubles are much magnifled by neglect and
delay. We give too much time TO hunting
mp causes when VIC ought to deal promptly
with effects This is much the case with pain,
which should be cured at once and cause

ing, s. Carey Street, Baltimore, Nd, staten
that for years she was subject to frequent at

remedies without avail. Sho was given qui-
nine, which she says affected her nervous
system. She suffered night and day during
these attacks until she tried st. Jacobs Oil,
which finally cured her.

Dry axles add double, sometimes
treble to the labor of a team. Moth
ing pays better than frequently oiling
wagon axles.
The power and longevity of the
horse are in exact ratio to the intelli-
gent care and feeding he receives. He
can draw on his fixed stock of vitality
to supply deficiency of food to do over
work, but it shortens his life and re-
duces his value. That horses have
been worked to death in one day shows
how rapidly overwork draws on their
vital power. AS heat depends on food,
all clipped horses and those not warm
ly stabbed and we'll blanketed require
much extra food, without which they
wear out fast Therefore, overwork,
underfeeding and neglect are all costly
and wasteful.
Overlooking is costly and cruel, and
has ruined thousands of horses. No
load should be too heavy to haul cas-
lily over the hardest place on the trip.
Steady hard pulling causes great pain,
so give your team frequent rests, es-
pecially during the early part of the
trip.
Ownership has limitations and be-
slows no right to mutilate, abuse or
neglect an animal. Our laws recog
nize the rights of domestic animals
and protect them.
The whip inficts great pain and
worry, and helps immensely to wear
out a horse The best horsemen of
our time condemn it's use, and believe
that much more is lost than gained by
it. If all drivers were struck each
time they strike horse, whips would
soon disappear. The necessity for
them would cease.
To know how a horse feels, learn
how you would feel in the same con-
dition. Man and horse are wonder
fully alike. Whatever distresses one
would distress the other. God de-
signed them to be the best of friends,
and to abuse horse is mean and cow"
ardly to the last degree.

The GarrOte.

The mode of execution by the gar
otte seems to have been originally de-
vised by the Moors and Arabs, and to
have been taken from them by the
Spaniards, by whom it has been trans
mitted to the Spanish colonies in
America. In the earliest form it con-
sisted in simply placing cord round
the neck of the criminal, who was
seated on a chair fixed to a post, and
then twisting the cord by means Of
stick inserted between it and the back
of the neck till strangulation was pro
duced. Afterward brass collar was
used containing screw, which the
executioner turned till its point en-
tered the spinal marrow where it unites
with the brain, causing instant death.

FACTS FOR DRIVERS,

The Humane Circular gives the fol-
lowing facts that are the result of &C
tual experience:
That one-third to two-thirds more
power is required to draw given
load through mud or sand than on a
smooth hard road.
That a slight rise in the grade re-
quires a larger increase of power and
a rise of one foot in ten doubles the
draft.
That little rain softeniug the sur
face adds nearly twenty per cent. to
the power required.
In all these cases policy and human
ity demand smaller loads and frequent

Height OF Man in the Year 1000 A. d.

De Moreal, the French statistician'
has been figuring on the gradual
diminution of height in the human
family with some astonishing results.
He finds that in the year 1910 the
average height of man was 1.75
meters, or about five feet nine inches.
In 1890 it was five feet six inches in
1920, five feet five inches. At the
present time it is but five feet 81
Ilches From these figures it is easy
to deduce the rate of regular and
gradual decline in human stature.
Figuring both ways from the present
we find that the height of man Sin the
beginning" was sixteen feet nine
inches, and that the average man of
the year 1000 A. D. will be less than
fifteen inches high st. Louis Re

disease that may be taken from others. and
is not usually fatal. 1t is recommended that
the sufferer sleep alone. that his clothing be

ease be at once destroyed. With these pre-

horses is about two-thirds corn and
one third oats In winter. and two
thirds oats with one-third corn in
simmer. For rapid fattening warm
mashes of corn-meal and wheat bran
may be given while idle, but it should
