Perhaps you would not think so, but
very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from carelessness about
catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
at is such simple thing and so common
that very few people, unless it is a case of
pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold.
There are great many cases of catarrh
and consump tion which have their origin
in this neglect of the simplest precaution
of every day life. The most sensible
advice, when you have one, get rid of it
as soon as possible By all means do not
neglect it DR.. Edison does not tell you
how to cure a cold but we will. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t will
relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open
the secretions and soon effect permanent

Concert at HopeWell.

Mrs. Katharyn Mccormick will
give a concert in Hopewell M. E.
Church, for the benefit of Wood
lawn w. c. 7. U. on the evening
of April 4th, admission Is cents.
Mrs. Mccormick is highly spoken
of by the leading papers of the
cities in which she has appeared
upon the musical stage. A late
issue of the Baltimore American
says Of one of her performances in
that city: "She is an artist in the
true sense, and renders all her
selections in a remarkably sweet
and sympathetic voice. Her voice
is pure contralto, and she is I'M
questionably one of the best con-
tralto soloists now on the concert
stage"
The Pittsburgh Dispatch says ::
"Mrs. Katharyn Mccormick pos
sesses a voice of indescribable
sweetness and beauty, and this
added to a charming presence,
easily made her the pervading
genius of the entertainment given
by the Epworth League last
evening""
1t is to be hoped that all who
can will avail themselves Of the
opportunity of hearing this charm
ing singer. The singing will be
intepspersed with readings and
recitations. Should the evening of
the 4th prove stormy come the 9TH.
Bad Legislation.
A bill has been offered in the Pennsyl-

not poultry? Then we must have an in
spector of eggs, of fruit, vegetables, etc.

varying kinds and conditions OF grain.
This can be ascertained only by exper-
imenting until best results are secured.
The reel should not RUIZ parallel
with sickle, but the outer end
should stand several inches for
ward in order to place grain upon
platform with butts in advance of
heads, as the butts are always retard-
ed by coming in contact with the fall
ing grain. In standing grain, the ma
chine should run about level. 1t takes
but moment when starting up a
grade to tilt the machine forward, and
vice versa. It should be we'll bal
nnced that the tongue will play on the
neck yoke much of the time. OF course
this cannot always be done, particu-
larly with the old five-horse steplad-
der machines, but these are back num-
bers now, and the new, low, sensible
ones do not have SO much Swing in
mid-air. 1t is cheaper and more hu-
name to carry the machine on its
wheels than on the horses necks. It
should, therefore. be tilted back when
the driver leaves his seat: If it stands
long the binder may be shifted back

POULTRY ON FARMS.

It Yields More satisfactory Profits Than
Any Other Stock.
The farmer has plenty OF room on
his farm for poultry, and the land So
devoted will return as large, if not
larger profits than an equal area
planted to crop used Tor other
stock. Cheap houses can be built to
shelter a hundred or more fowls, which
will bring in the cash in the winter
season by producing eggs, thus large
ly aiding him to purchase many neces-
saries while waiting for his crops to
grow. There is but little risk OF loss
in keeping hens If they receive only a
animals, and a very large percentage
may be realized by farmer, on a
small scale, where the business is con-
Quoted properly. There is more profit
in raising choice poultry and making
a speciality of eggs, considering the
cost and outlay, and which can be had
annually, than from any other sources,
not excepting COWS, pigs or sheep, and
yet the animals are fed and cared for
ut an expenditure for labor that would
be considered appalling if bestowed
on the hons, though the hens pay cash
dividends daily for all they receive.
Farmers would do we'll to look into this
matter, and now is the time to consider
it. Good fowls of any of the improved
breeds may now be had at h very reat
sonable price, and we call the attep
ton of those who have the facilities
for keeping fowls of taking advantage
of their opportunities Farmer.

A Plain FAMILY Talk.

One day whilst was laid up for re-

and harmless as baby-Mother lit in,
she did, and give me a plain family
talk. She had been monstrous good
and kind in fixin up the salts and snake
root and other compliments to pull me
through and save my life. and I couldn't
find it in my heart to sass her back.
And what was more, / jest naturally

exactly what lowed when you driv off
down the road with Will Tom Fickens
and little Bunk Weatherford. To see
yourunnin around over the whole entire
country, maxim stump speeches and
vvritin for the newspapers. anybody
would think that you ought to have
sense like quality folks. but sometimes
it does look to me like you have got the
most slimrnest and pecurious way of
shown it of any man have ever yet
saw.

weary, Rufus, to hear you talkin and roin
on about the sights 1--WE boys" have
seen, and the fun "us boys" have had.
