de ui1l Not Dpun Himself.
(From the Troy, N. r, Tsmes.)

r. w. Edwards, of Lansingburg, was
Frustrated by sunstroke during the war,
and it has entailed on him peculiar and SCI
rious consequences. At present writing
Mr.. E. is prominent officer of Post Lyon,
G. A. R., Cohoes and a past aide de camp on
the staff of the commander-in-chief of Al
bany Co. In the interview with reporter,
he said:
81 was wounded and sent TO the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me together with
others to Washington-a ride of about 100
miles. Having no room in the box cars we
were placed face up on the bottom of fiat
cars. The sun beat down upon our unpro-
tected heads. When I reached Washington
was insensib1e and was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result of this 100-mile ride and sunstroke
was heart disease. nervous prostration, in
somnia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. As a last resort l took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to a wonder
full degree. My rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone, and the abscess in my ear
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as bell when before it felt as
though it would burst, and my once shat
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers Mr.. Edwards said,
''do they look as if there was any rheuma-
tism theres'' He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like a
young boy. IA year ago those fingers We're
gnarled at the joints ands stiff that could
not hold pen. My knees would swell up,
and could not straighten my leg out. My
joints would squeak when I moved them.
That is the living truth.
"When came to think thatf was going to
be crippled with rheumatism, together with
the rest Of my ailments, / tell you life
seemed not worth living. l suffered from
dependency. / cannot begin to tell you,''
said Mr.. Edwards, as he drew long breath,
what nay feeling is at present. l think if
you lifted ten years right off my life and
left me prime and vigorous at forty seven,
could feel no better. / was an old man
and could only drag myself painfully about
the house. Now can walk off without any
trouble. That in itself.'' continued Mr..
Edwards, would be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
might call nervous and that my heart is APP
parently nearly healthy, and that I can
sleep nights, you may realize why may ap-
pear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink
Pills. These pills quiet MY nerves, take
that awful pressure from my head, and at
the same time enrich my blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
,clamnly at times. Now the circulation
there is as full and as brisk as at any other
part of my body. 1 used to be SO light
headed and dizzy from my nervous dis
order that frequently fell while crossing
the floor of my house. Spring is coming
and never felt better in my life, and am
looking forward to busy season of work"

sising from the center of the metal
back, to which it is rigidly secured,
passes through perforations in each of
the two pieces of leather, and then a
keeper" hinged to one edge of the
buckle and consisting of square skel-
.eton of wire is brought down over
them. The keeper fits into groove in
the further upright side of the buckle,
which has spring enough to allow this
to be done easily and also to retain the
keeper in place. The inventor thinks
that this device would be convenient
one for joining third line to double
lines when another horse is to be usec
beside a double team. A fly net would
not lie likely to catch on this buckle SO
quickly as on the old style.-N. s. KEEP

Eeod Determines Quality.

The food fed to the plant or tree, to
the fruit or flower, to the bird or beast,
determines the quality of the product.
If we would have fine frnit, luscious
berries, beautiful flowers, snowy ever
greens, or a prime quality of meat
therefrom, we must feed the food
calculated to produce them, and in
quantities called for. There is both
superior and inferor quality in all the
products of the farm, and it is regulated
in this way. The time to give vitality
to colt or calf is before it is born,
and the same Is true of vegetable prod
ucts. Quality is determined by vitali-
ty, and both by breeding and feeding.
One can destroy the vitality to an
animal or a tree by starving it.-Rural

Turn the Eggs Frequently.

No matter bow eggs may be kept or
preserved for future use, they must be
turned over at least three times week,
and the oftener the better. This is
not done to assist in preventing decem-
position but to avoid having the yollzs
adhere to the she'll. The yoik:s al
ways float on the white, and do not
sink, as is supposed It will soon
fasten to the shell if too long IN one
position, the result being that even
when the eggs are good and perfectly
free from any faint of decomposition,
the yoil<. in closely adhering to the
shelf. gives the appearance of the egg
being stale. thus reducing the price

Many of our republican contempora.

to be very much in evidence during the
presidential campaign of next year.
Those who favor the candidacy of Gov.
Mckinley are Obliged to do this, for he
would be an absaraity as a candidate
on any other issue. It is hardly posi-

seglsm. They know when they have
enough. They remember with emotion
the tremendous overthrow of 1890,
which followed the Mckinley iniquity
as the thunder follows the electric
flash. They remember also how they
claimed that this was due to the fact
| that the election came so soon after
| the passage of the bill that the people
| had not had time to learn how very
good a bill it was. So they took two
years to explain it to the people, dur
| ing which period wages were reduced
| all over the country. Their two years
of explanation and falling wages were
followed by another stinging defeat
Many republicans are quite aware thai
their success last fall was wholly due

they brought about, and that it at

:they are very shg of .McKinleyism.
| 1t is worthy Of mention that Con
gresham Dingleg, of Maine, think:
that the next presidential election will
turn mainly upon the currency sques
ton. This is significant because Mr.
Dingley is a representative of Mr.
| Reed, a prominent candidate for tths
presidency. 1t lis also significant or
account of the reason assigned forit- HI
says the democrats have stolen repub
lican thunder hy,enacting a protective
tariff, which proves to be tributary
| to American enterprise.
We might pause to ask Nh iDngley
if the present tariff is tributary t.
American enterprise, why his part,
enacted one which on many importan
commodities was twice as high as tn,
present tariff? We might also ask how
| it happened that the makers of many
commodities, on which the tariff was re
duced the EE ostare among the most pros
porous? However, it is not our purpos,
| toargue thecorrectness of Mr.. Dingley'
statement, hnt merely to-cite 1T as evi

If the republican party adopt sount
money as the main issue for 1896. i

On the other hand, if it EN- brace McKin

which its own organs declare is ''trib

1t II the Good Feeder That Gets the Rest
Price FOR His Stock.
To get quick growth on pig, first
get the right kind of stock, then feed
plenty of various kinds of food and
give q good. roomy pen. Some hog
raisers have the best stock obtainable.
but they do not succeed in getting
them as large at a certain age as 9TH
ers. The most of the hogs that are
raised in our country have enough good
blood in them to make fast growth
if properly cared for. but we all have
SO much pushing work on the farm
that we neglect our hogs more than
anything else on the place. If we ex-
pect good results we must do our part,
and when we do this we will be
profited by it. We often notice in a
litter of pigs one or two small ones
and we generally know why they are
smaller than the others-because they
do not get their share of milk from the
dam. When we see pig that is get
ting behind the rest we should man
age some way to feed it and keep it
growing right along, for just as it be-
comes stunted we will find it poor
feeder. It neverswill grow as fast as
the others. This is why some breeders
have an uneven lot of pigs After the
pigs are weaned. and we begin to feed
them. we will find the larger ones
crowding the smaller ones away from
the trough. A good idea would be to
take all the smaller ones and put them
by themselves and give them all they
can eat of various kinds of food, such
as shipstuff, bran, corn meal, whole
wheat and an occasional feed of oil
meal You cannot get a quick growth
on a pig with corn. They soon get
tired of it, become feverish, and begin
to root in the ground for something
cooling to their scorched stomachs.
The pig that has a good range will al
ways do better than those shut up in
small pens, no matter how you feed
them. Exercise is as essential as good
feed in order to produce fast growth.
Do not shut little pigs in tight pen
and confine them to corn if you want
to hurry them into market The cheap
est way to raise hogs is the quickest
way.-R. S. Fisher, in Farm and Home.

We always praise those good old days, when

thousand years ago

They sat and slept, while centuries crept into
the misty past
The first awoke and softly spoke: ~n you

They slept again. these three old men. while
centuries rolled by;
And then the next old man seemed vexed. and
oped his heavy eye:
Sedate and slow he shook the snow from oat
his hoary locks,
Then raised his head and meekly said: sl
think it was an OK
Then all was still again. until more centuries
had fed.
And then the third old sage was heard to

he rubbed his eyes in panied surprise and
growled in accents deep;
