The subject Of the above portrait is a
prominent and much respected citizen, Mr..
Robert Manson, Of West Rye, N. H. Where
MIR. Manson is known "his word is as good
as his bond" In recent letter to Dr. r. v.
Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
falo, N. Y, Mr.. Manson says:
cdr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best pills ever took for the liver. All my
friends say they do them the most good"
This opinion is shared by every one who
once tries these tiny, little, sugar-coated pills
which are to be found in all medicine stores
The U. S. Inspector of Immigration at Buff
falo, N. Y, writes of them as follows:
From early childhood / have suffered
from sluggish liver, with all the disorders
accompanying such a condition Doctors
prescriptions and patent medicines have
used in abundance /; they only afforded tent

GOOD BREAD.

In these days, when housekeepers
are looking carefully into the mere
scientific preparations of food, it is an
acknowledged fact that bread grown
in the light, both sunlight or light Of
day, is more wholesome as an article
of food You will find the yeast cake
you mention q little slow in action,
and it may take longer than you wish
to follow the recipe for day bread.
One point is that the yeast must be
moistened first. Now, suppose you
sponge your bread, say at o'clock in
the morning. Your maid is up at 6 !;
loaves of bread She should put the
two cakes into warm bowl and pour
over half pint of warm water. In q
moment the cakes will soften; then
stir in five or six tablespoonfuls of
flour, sufficient to make q soft batter
beat for moment, stand the bowl in
another of warm water and cover a
towel over both, so that the steam
will assist the growth of the yeast
plant. Remember that all plants re-
quire warmth and moisture. Now, if
you make milk bread, have ready
scalded the quantity of milk. If water,
put the water into bowl, add salt and
sufficient flour to make batter, which
beat thoroughly. Now, after the maid
has cooked the breakfast-and it will
take not more than half hour-she
will find the contents of the first bowl
light and foamy. Turn this into the
sponge; give thorough mixing, and
stand aside in warm place until it is
very light-about three hours. Then
finish it precisely the same as you
would ordinary yeast bread. When
light, mold; when light again, bake.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Gi7e the peas light, rich soil.
Red raspberries should not be given
deep cultivation.
Do not forget parsley seed. A small
package will yield enough to use all
the year.
Many are discarding the pole lima,
and taking up the bush lima bean as
a specially.
Young bees are valuable in the
spring, and none should be allowed to
die from carelessness.
Sow celery seed early. 1t is esti-
mated that one ounce of seed will pro-
duce about $500 plants.
Beeswax will be darkened if melted
in an iron vessel. 1t is better to use
brass or copper vessels.
The best shipping crates for honey
are of single tier, and hold from
twelve to twenty-four pounds.
Eastwood is light, white, and free
from gumminess. Nothing so far has
been found to equal it for making
pound sections.
The butter dryer is the self-describ
ing name of newly invented machine
that seems to be giving great satisfac-
ton in England.
Never set plants of poor quality.
Poor seed will make failure, but only
for single year, while poor plants
last over many seasons.
All fruit plants, including trees,
should have a generous supply of fine,
| light colored, fibrous roots, in order
to be of vigorous and healthy
growth.
For the potato crop sulphate is
thought to be much better than muri
ate of potash, for it gives greater
yield and improves the quality in a
higher degree.
The cucumber should not be set in
open ground until about the middle
of May or until the weather settles, as
it is very tender annual. Plant in
June or July if you want them for
pickles.
Do not plant potatoes on hard,
poorly plowed soil, for the crop will
be poor, no matter how thorough the
cultivation or how favorable other con-
ditions if the soil is not mellowed
deep enough.
Open the hives only when it is warm
enough for the bees to fly, and then dc
not leave open any longer than neces
sary. The brood may be chilled, and
Ms there is no honey to be gathered,
the bees may take to robbing.
Apiarists cannot he too particular
about packing. 1t is stated that dis
| honesty here is as common as among
horticulturists, and that fine white
combs are frequently found next to
the glass. aud the dark in the centre
/ of the crate.
If about to go into small fruit rails
/ ing conduct it in n clean and accurate
manner, with good land, and success
is sure. Raspberry and currant bushes
should be planted five feet apart each
way 20 allow room for a horse and
cultivator.

4 Sect OF FastefS.

The Jains of India are the champion
fasters or long-distance, do-without-
food sect of the world. Fasts of from
thirty to forty days are very common
among this curious sect, and once
each year ''radami" comes forward
and undertakes the 'grand fast"-a
period of seventy-fve days, during
which time he allows nothing but
warm water to pass his lips. When
the fast is once begun, the faster will
carry it to the prescribed limit OF die
in the attempt. In curious contrast
to this startling feat is the religious
eating contests of the South Sea ISL
anders, where the competitors actual
ly hoop themselves like barrels with
ropes made of grass and bark to keep
from bursting through overfeeding.--

BEES AND FRUIT.

The business of the horticulturist
and that of the apiculturist are each n
necessary adjunct of the other, says a
lady writer. The beekeeper may pay
n wonderful sum for the best bees in
the world, may have them in the best
of hives with movable frames, queen
excluding honey boards, etc, etc. !;
above the brood nest he may have the
whitest of section boxes, every one
containing foundation starter; in
fact, have everything ready to catch
the surplus honey when the honey
flow shall come-if the land be not full
of flowers on every hand there will
be no surplus for him. Professor
Wilson has made an elaborate calcula-
ton, and concludes that it would re-
quire 2,500,000 forets like those
of the white clover to yield one pound
of clover honey. This gives some
idea of the vast number of blossoms
necessary, as well as the amount of
labor represented in every honey
comb. The fruit grower may ransack
the earth for new and improved
varieties; he may be as skillful as
possible in planting; he may graft
and propagate and hybridize, and yet
if the winds are not favorable and the
bee does not visit the blossoms in
search of pollen OF nectar the blossoms
will soon wither and fall and never
produce the fruit for which the bios
SONS lived and grew, and for which
the horticulturist had bestowed upon
the tree or plant his labor, fore
thought and fostering care. Chicago

That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
used, they are oll0dps In fdpor Their sec
ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and
regular, not to further constipate, as is the
case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-
stipation piles, and indigestion.
The " Pleasant Pellets are far more effec-
tive IN arousing the liver TO action than 'blue
pills." calomel, or other mercurial prepnra-
tons, and have the further merit of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in

care is required while using them.

than is that of other pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to forty-four pellets"

of the more ordinary and cheaper made pills.

Porcelain Teeth.

Artificial teeth are made of porce-
lain. Porcelain is, as everyone knows,
of many degrees of hardness, and the
greater or less hardness of particular
kind of porcelain depends mainly
upon the degree of heat required to
fuse the ingredients of which it is
composed. The porcelain used for
artificial teeth consists chiefly of q
very fine kaolin, such as that used by
the Chinese ceramic artists, with fell
spar for the enamel. The teeth,
with platinum pins inserted in them,
are exposed to a degree of heat SO
high as to melt any metal less fusible
than platinum, and this baking brings
them to state of hardness sufficient
to resist the wear and tear incident to
the work they have to perform. -

TIE STUDY OF AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture is the basis of our
national progress and prosperity
While this fact is widely recognized,
yet the study of this most important
of all callings is not placed in the
curriculum of the public schools of
the country. Generations of chill
dren pass through life without ability
to distinguish between wheat and
barley when they see it growing. 1t
seems necessary to be born on farm
to be acquainted with even the rudi-
ments of agriculture. This is all
wrong. The stu2iea Of the school
room should be arranged to meet this
oversight. True, men have become
famous in many ways, whose sole

mon schools of the country, but these

of the system under which they are

have as perfect right to the technical
knowledge of their prospective call
ing, as that such knowledge of things
that ut best arc but mere accomplish
ments shall be taught. The tendency
toward the latter is very manifest iii

public schools. II is always better to

AN IRRIoATED DISPLAY.
Sherman County, Irrigated Crop Surpris
Even the Initiated.

Sherman COunty's Irrigated Crop Surprises
Even the Initiated.
Some time ago M. B. Tomblin adver-
tised for specimens of Sherman coun-
tvs irrigated produce which he wished
to have photographed. The supply on
hand at the Sherman County bank Sat-
urday surprised even the most san
guine believers in irrigation. Potatoes
that weighed three pounds we're com
mon, a set of sweet potatoes that
weighed eight pounds, cabbages 20
pounds in weight, Squashes a yard long
and four feet in circumference, all
other products in like proportions were
piled up in generous profusion.
The displays of Barney McCluskey,
Percy Judd, l. j. Reed and others were
particularly fine and would make the
products of Rocky Ford, Greeley and
Garden City look to their laurels.
Irrigation in Sherman county is in
it's infancy as yet, but it promises to
make some great advancement the
the coming year as great many have
already put in plants and hundreds
more are preparing to do so the coming
winter
On the bottoms and in the draws
irrigating can be done at very small
cost, and Oh the uplands a plant that
will irrigate 10 acres can be put in for
$500 at the outside. Alfalfa, orchards
and gardens, by means of irrigation
will be more valuable as a money
maker for the farmer than fields of
wheat, even in good years.
In the reservoir of common size ton
of fish can be grown annually which is
worth at least $500. A two-acre orchard
will net the farmer more in a good
year than hundred acres of wheat,
and eight acres of potatoes and garden
truck will bring i'll more than a 300
acre field of wheat.
Farming on the old style in the west
has had its day, condensed irrigated
farming is rapidly taking it's place. Iu-
stead of having one or more quarter
sections the western farmer now only
wants 40 acres. This tract we'll watered
