Scarlet Fever Settled in the Back,
An Operation Was Unsucce ss

Eighteen Years.

The Patient Was Finally Restored, After
Eighteen Years.
From the Eoening NeUs, Nea0ark " j.
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs.
Annie Dale, of SO Bruce street, was bright,
merry school girl, she was taken ill with
scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was
a very different girl from a physical stand
point. She was cured of the scarlet fever,
but it left her with an affection of the back
AS she grew older the pain seemed to in
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties, but she never COM
planned, and with one hand pressed tightly
to her back she did her work about her coy
home.
81 was fourteen years old when was at
tackled with scarlet fever, and have now
suffered with my back for eighteen years.
"Night and day l suffered. 1t really
seemed as if l must succumb to the pain,
and then, to make matters worse, my head
ached so badly that could scarcely see, at
times. Finally went to st. Michael's Hos
pital, at the corner of High Street and Cen

it did no good; it was like everything else

other operation, but the first had left me so
weak l could not go back. Then again
had become discouraged and my three chill
The pain became harder to stand and my
back was almost broken, it seemed. I
thought l would never know what it would
be like to be well again when was told to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. With many
doubts, faint heart and an aching back
went to get the pills, and little dreaming that
they would prove the elixir of a new life to
me, l began to take them. Only short
time elapsed before I began to improve.
Could it be possible that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills were doing what everything else had
failed to accomplish I asked myself the
question many times and before long I was
enabled by my improved condition to an
swer the query with an emphatic yes
Now the pain of almost twenty years is
cured by these Pink Pills in few months
I have no pain of any kind now, but have
got some of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and while do not think it will
ever be necessary to use them again, shall
certainly never be without them in the
house."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never

cavation unnecessary. Frequently the
water rushes up with such rapidity
that the auger-hole must be plugged
until the wall is made.
The size of tile for wall is usually
five-inch. 1t is well to have few
pieces of a smaller size at hand, also
some broken lengths for clinking.
Place the tiles in circle around bot
tom of we'll as shown. Should the
last one of the layer not fit snugly,
use a smaller size or the broken pieces,
securing it in such way that all the
tiles will be firm. Continue layer apon
layer In this way until the top is
reached.
In case the water enters the well as
rapidly as it can be pumped out, the
wall may be simply large tiles placed
one above another. This operation
may be done wholly from the top, if a
guide is made for holding the tile in
place as it is lowered until earth is
filled around. When completed, the
excavation is filed by replacing the
earth, and nothing is open except the
interior of the column of tile. For
such wall as this, care should be
taken to secure strong, thick tile
which have been thoroughly burned,
and free from cracks.
Several wells of this description
have been made in this vicinity. AL
though limestone is easily obtained,
many prefer the drain tile, and the
latter is growing in favor for the pur-
pose indicated. Robert L. Dean, in

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

ROTATION is essential to all proper
farming.
If butter color is used it should be
added to the cream before churning is
begun.
MILK remaining in the udder longer
than twelve hours loses in quantity and
quality.
IT does not pay to raise scrub horses,
but there is always a demand for first
class animals.
BE careful not to change suddenly
from old to new oats, and do not feed
the latter in large quantities.
DIsBUDDINe is better than pruning.
1t saves the strength and vigor of the
tree and the labor of the owner.
ANTHRAX is reported to be spreading
among the cattle of New Jersey, and a
great many losses are announced.
Cows KEPT on dry food alone require
more water than when they have the
run of the pasture or are given succu-
lent food.
The production of wine in France for
the year 1894 was 1,O31. 200, 600 gallons,
while that of the United States was
only Is, 600, 900 gallons.
IT is said that the polled Angus
grades are more in demand in Europe
than any other cattle. Herefords come
next and Durhams last.

Fine Stock Needs Good Care.

The man who cannot give improved
stock the same care and attention that
has made it what it is, has no business
to NEEDLE with it. This applies to the
entire range from horses to bantams
The best strains, the finest individu-
ais, and the most experienced coupling
will avail nothing if the care, feed and
attention which have brought the stock
to perfection is not continued and judi
cious1y employed. This does not mat
ter so much when a boar is procured
to serve a few sows for season when
the product is for pork, and he go with
it; but it is important in every breed
ing effort for stud purposes -Colman's

CATTLE STATISTICS.
Valuable Tables Reported by tho Depart.

Valuable Tables Reported by. tho Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Harry A. Robinson, statistician Of
the department of agriculture, has
submitted report, of which the fol-
lowing is part:
hand you herewith tabular state
ment, prepared in accordance with
your request, showing the estimated
number of cattle in the various states
and territories of this country in jan
uary, 1895, and also the area in square
miles of each state and territory. The
figures for cattle include mich cows,
oxen and other cattle, and are taken
from the statistician's report for jan
uary and February last. The figures
on area are from the annual report of
the commissioners of the general land
office.
BY these tables have made an effort
to divide the strictly farm states from
the range states, and by showing the
comparative area, as well as the cattle
population of each region, get some
what at the truth of the theory that
as agriculture advances cattle disap-
pear. Here is table of the farm
states:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TILE FOR WELL WALLS.

In Many Respects 1t Is More Advan-
tageous Than Limestone.
Some farmers dig and wall their own
wells, but the greater number hesitate
to undertake the job on account of
difficulty in making the wall. Inlo-
cations where stone is scarce or where
experienced help for laying the wall is
wanting, well-burned drain tile can be
used and placed in position by anyone.
Where it is not necessary to dig a
well deeper than twenty-five feet, and
rock and sands are not likely so be en-
countered, the work may safely be un-
