Farm Notes.

The following report from the Ontario
Experiment station is Of interest: Sum-
ming up the averages Of both lots when
fed on practically the same amount OF
feed for the six weeks, we have a gain Of
$40 lbs, for the sweet milk periods and
gain of 43s lbs. for the sour milk periods
"A gain of SO pounds in favor OF the sour
milk. This experiment would indicate
that sour milk Is equal to or better than
sweet milk for pigs Weighing from $40 to
200 lbs, as an economical producer OF
gain -

The Lunette Souchard,

There has been introduced of late for use
by the French army, it is reported, what is
known as the lunette Souchard-that is, a
powerful binocular glass for determining
the exact distance of an object from the
observer. When the glass is in focus there
are interpased by movement of the I'm
gers between the eye and the object two
prisms of Iceland spar; then there arc
brought into the field of vision two images,
the one being the real object the ether a
smoky facsimile in line with and at the
rear Of it, the second image being more Gle
waited as the distance is greater Tho OBJ
jcct which serves for the adjustment of the
glass is either soldier of ordinary stature
or ono on horseback. If the head of the
real image reaches to the shoulder Of the
facsimile he is distant just 800 meters,
80 5-S inches to the meter; if TO tho waist
Of the image 600 meters; ii to the knees
1000 meters, if the feet of the image ap-
parently rest on the head of the soldier the
distance is exactly ], 400 meters; if there
is space between the feet of the one and
the head of the other the distance can only
be approximately determined

Sash WeIghfs,

The ingenuity of man in converting the
useless odds and ends of industry into ar
ticles of convenience ard utility is shown
to advantage in the ordinary window sash
weights. Without these housekeepcr's
life would be burden, but few have any
idea of the materials of which the weight
is composed. The one quality on which its
utility is based is weight, and almost ev-
cry metal that cannot be used in any other
fashion finds its way into the sash weight.
Tin cans that are too far gone to be press
ed out for further preserving uses, old har-
ness buckles, zinc bathtub Innings, rail
road spikes, rusty telegraph wires, broken
nails, shattered screens and a hundred 9TH

Terribly Afflicted.
(From the Herald, Cayuga, Ind.)


A headache is a common ailment with
everybody, but very few people are tor
tured with that terrible afliction-sick
headache or bilious headache. No one
who has not suffered from this agonizing
malady can form any just conception OF
the almost uncomfortable pain In the head,
extreme nausea of the stomach and utter
exhaustion of the body that usually
accompanies each attack. Mrs. John W.
Middlebrook, of Hillsdale, Ind, was so
afflicted for years and her husband told
reporter the following remarkable story:
My wife suffered terribly four or five
years with her head and was In constant
agony day and night. Nothing brought
relief. Finally lady friend in Monte
yuma recommended DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. bought box and my wife began
taking the pills She had not taken the
flrst box until she was better and those
awful pains in her head were less severe.
BY the time the first box was entirely gone
she felt greatly relieved and l purchased
the second box. Her Improvement con-
tlnued and kept buying pills until four
boxes were used. The pain in her head
stopped. That was last October, 1894,
and she has never suffered with her head
since. My wife is about IS years old and
very feeble but these pills have greatly
benefited her health in other ways.
The reporter further confirmed the story
by talking to the old lady. Her face
lighted up with smile when he men,
toned DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
Joyous tear sparkled in her eyes as she
remarked, That pain is all gone"
That there is virtue in these pills is evil
dent from the fact that Charles Kirtz, the
Montezuma druggist reports that he sells
more OF them than any pill in the house.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are considered an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, par
tial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of
the heart pale and sallow compilations,
that tired feeling resulting from nervous
prostration; all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also specific for troubles peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, Irregular
ties, and all forms of weakness. In men
they effect radical cure in all cases arts
ing from mental worry, ovcrwork, or
excuses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are
sold by all dealers or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price, 600 cents box or six
boxes for So 50O by addressing DR.. Will
