"Fee simple, and the simple fee,
And all the fees entail
Are nothing when compared TO thee
Thou best of fees-fe-mIle.''
That is what a lawyer wrote in his
wife's album. He kept her in the best
of health and humOr by providing her
with DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription
for those seasons of sickness, debility
and bacSache, which are the peculiar
lot of the female sex.

.Nafioa, Ind. T., says: II am pleased
to stand a witness for your 'Favorite
Prescription My wife was an invalid
for about Il months. Every remedy
was used for her health and money

to improve, and she was actually cured
by it. Ii is a wonderful medicine

Wherever large yields of corn have
been secured the result has been due
more to the careful preparation of the
soil than to any after cultivation. The
seed bed should be fine and in the best
possible condition. TIE preparation for
mex. years ezra shoIld begin in the
fall irthe soil can BE- ploweI to adj
vantage, especially sod land, which
should not cnly be given deep plowing,
but an application of lime also.

Ii the well is dry dig it deeper and il
will not be dry until a drought again
occurs that is longer in duration than
this. The time to dig well is when
there is a dry season, as one must then
go down deeper To reach water. The
best wells for providing pare water that
is free from surface drainage are those
known as "drive wells" windmills or
force pumps being used for raising the
water.

Pumpkins must not be left out until

THE LITTLE BIRD TELLS
FoR A SMALL BoY.1

It's strange how little boys mothers
Can find it all out, as they do.
III "A fellow does anything naughty,
Or says anything that's not true.
They'll look at you just for moment
Till your heart in your bosom swells,
Aud then they know all about it,
For little bird tells.

or where the little bird goes.
II he's covered with beautiful pIumage,
OR black as the king OF the crows,
II his voice is as hoarse rs the ravens,
or clear as the ringing of bells.
i know not, but this am sure Of
A little bird tells.
And the only coatrivance To stop him
Is just to be sure what you say
Sure of your facts and your Glncies,
Sure of your work and your play
Be honest, be brave, and be kindly,
BE gentle and loving as well,
And then you can laugh at the stories

The loss of grain on a farm from rats
is quite an item, as they destroy a por-
ton other than that consumed. The
corncrib should be made rat-proof, and
all harhOring places made disagreeable
to them. They can be prevented to
certain extent by traps, poison and
other devices, but the best method, if
possible, is to provide no harbOring
places for them.

There is a difference OF 81 per cent.
between the prices Of strictly fresh eggs
and those that are lined or kept in cold
storage. 1t is doubtful if it will pay to
keep eggs for rise i'm prices unless in
those sections where they cannot be
sold nearer the source of production.
Eggs command higher prices in pro-
portion to their cost than anything
else produced on the farm.

Some crops, such a Potatoes, that

Greet enough to eat mashed potatoes in a
cheap restaurant on Ellis street. The
mashed potatoes, however. contained some
bits of glass.
Young Herzinger ate his unlucky meal
at noon on Wednesday week ago. He
attempted to swallow a mouthful of pota-
toes without proper mastication and felt
something stick in his throat. On the
suggestion of a waiter who noticed the dis
tress this occasioned him, he swallowed
some dry bread.
The pain still continued, and he eventu-
ally sought doctor, who found that the
throat had been badly cut by some foreign
substance, presumably glass. He. pre-
scribed for the patient, who went to bed.
The next day the throat was violently in
famed. The patient was unable to swal-
low, and, in spite of the efforts of two
physicians, he grew worse. His mother
and brother, who reside in Alturas, were
sent for. When they arrived, recovery
was despaired of.
The unfortunate youths throat was
enormously swollen. Saturday night it
seemed to be wholly closed by the infiam-
nation, and the doctors who were called
late in the night thought they would have
to cut the patients throat and insert a
tube to enable him to breathe. A poultice
of Colorado mud relieved the inf1amma-
ton slightly, and finally two bags of pus
that had formed in the throat broke, and
the young man was relieved.
For the eight days of the struggle against
death, he had not slept. The only cessa-
ton from pain was when he was put under
the influence of opiates. He is now better,
and may recover.
