Something Lacking.

A man went into drug store and
asked for a certain headache cure The
druggist did not keep it.
But we have something better than
that" said the clerk. 1--WE warrant il
to cure, too"
WHAT do you cali it?" asked the
prospective customer.
The clerk gave him the name.
"Never heard of it, said the man
with the headache. IF it's good why
don'ty you advertise it? Then would
know about it."

many people do know Of it and buy it.
You'd be surprised how many of the
headache powders we SELL"
Perhaps; and you'd be surprised
how many more you'd sell if you'd adj
vertise them"
And the man with an ache under his
hat walked out. The writer is willing
to make an affidavit to the truth Of this
story.-Philadelphia Call.

The Fear OF Man.

1.-The fear of man bringeth snare. -
This Jewish proverb is graphically il
lustrated by story told of the late DR..
Stephen II. Tying, who for many years
was the orator of the Episcopal pulpit.
The narrator of the anecdote, the ven
cradle Rev. DR.. Watson. of Philadel-
phia, says: Before DIR. Tying came to
Philadelphia Us the rector of Holy
Trinity, he was pastor of a church at
Georgetown, now part of Washing
ton city. 1t was in the early DAYS of
the century, when that great states
man and orator, Henry Clay, was in
the heyday of his glory. One Sunday
.evening DIR. Tying assembled his pulpit
and proceeded to deliver a most elo-
quent sermon. His hearers and he
realized simultaneously that his words
were unusually eloquent In the midst
of an impassioned exhortation the
church door opened, and belated
Christian walked down the aisle and
took a seat. 1t was Henry Clay. DIR.
Tying recognized him Suddenly and
unaccountably the preacher became
filed with a sense of his own insig-
nificance as an orator in the presence
of this eloquent man. He broke down
and foundered miserably through the
remainder of his sermon, which he
brought to speedy close. Youths

The SilO,

The silo is especially desirable for
the south. We can make more green
corn or sorghum per acre than any
northern state, because the plants
grow much larger, and we have land
so rich that sorghum may be grown
almost as thick as the hair on a dog.
On account of our long, hot and usual
ly dry summers, the stalks and blades
soon dry up after the seed natures,
and then it becomes comparatively
worthless as fodder. These crops,
and many others, can be cut
clean from the ground aud made
into silage and kept indefinitely, with
Its digestibility increased. and its nu-
tritive constituents nearly as good as
when cut The silage system will
utilize large amount of food now
wasted, except for its value to the soil,
which is but little. We must give MP
our wasteful practices on the farm.
With the best possible economy-noth-
ing wasted that can be put to a good
use-we have hard time climbing the
slippery hill of prosperity. Our Gus
tom has been to plant, cultivate and
harvest our corn crops, simply taking
the ears, and if weather and iuclina-
tion suits, few blades, and letting
more than half the crop dry up and
blow away. Silos will save the entire
crop.-Farm and Ranch.

Butter Making.

At recent institute dairyman gave
the following reasons why butter maxi
ing should be followed as a paying bus
mess:
l. That it is the business upon the
farm that permits the most absolute
control over conditions of production
and distribution of product, hence the
most profitable.
2. 1t is the highes. art of farming be-
cause it combines all other lines and
gives greater opportunity for executive
and manufacturing skill.
8. 1t is most free from irresponsible
and destructive competition by neces-
sity of it's character, and by the per-
sonal equation of the individual pro-
Queer.
4. 1t is more exact line of produc-
ton, permitting gross receipts to be
forecast with greater exactness, hence,
the greater possibilities of increasing
net receipts, either by lowering ex-
penses or increasing the volume of
product.
5. 1t permits the employment of la
Dor at season of the year when farm
labor is the cheapest if winter dairying
is followed.
6. OF all the products sold from the
farm, butter takes the least fertility
and restores the greatest amount to the
farm, and it is well known that the
most fertile sections of the country are
where Understanding is followed.

Natives of the New Hebrides and Er-
ropoan Clothes.
An incident related by Mrs. Patton,
the wife of DIR. j. g. Patton, the we'll
known missionary to the New Hebri-
des, illustrates the entire absorption of
her husband, the missi, as the natives
call him, in the great purpose he had
in view, SO that he entirely overlooked
the coniicality of the scene which so
impressed his good wife. Here is Mrs.
Paton's story: 1.-The trial to my risi-
bles l found it hard to bear was that
which befell me especially on Sabbaths.
The first of these days in particular
presented ludicrous scene in the way
of dress, and it was only by the most
desperate effort that could manage to
keep long face while watching the
natives coming into the church We
had arrived on Tuesday; number of
garments had been distributed among
the people, and from twenty to thirty
turned ont to worship. One man, / re-
member, came prancing in, looking SO
delighted with himself in a snow-whitc
vest-absolutely nothing else. Another
came stalking majestically with
woman's skirt pinned round his throat
and the tips of his fingers appearing at
the bottom of it. A third had native
bag done up so as to represent hat,
which he took off with quite the air of
a gentleman as he entered the door.
One man had on nice little jacket /

everyone who wore any clothing at all

The best authorities on the cattle
trade are of opinion that there will
soon be permanent shortage in beef
cattle, and that prices must necessari-

There is almost no fruit that can
be grown with less labor or attention
than blackberries, yet great many
farmers fail to have a home supply of
this cheap and healthful fruit.

AT certain locality in Illinois an

horses to hogs. We doubt whether it
will pay to raise horses for hog-feed.

"A writer expresses the belief that
we shall yet have professional plant

Every plant-grower ought to be his

owner should be to considerable de-

1t is stated as a remarkable fact
that during the year 1894 Mississippi
produced corn enough to supply her

This is the first time in the history of
