STORING WINTER CLOTHING.
How to Savo Furs and Wraps from the
Depre datlons of Moths.

The end of April is time to look after
furs and winter wraps and other arti-
cles that require to be packed away
from the moths.
Where one is fortunate enough to
possess a cedar closet, things may be
stored away in it from time to time.
The greatest care, however, must be
taken to see that no moth has taken
up its habitation in the garment be.
fore it is stored away. Unfortunately,
if moth eggs have been laid in the gar
ment before it is put away, they will
hatch out in a cedar closet, in an at
mosphere permeated by camphor, to-
bacco or any other article used against
moths. The grub becomes Injured to
his surroundings, and eats the fur or
wool just as eagerly as though he were
placed under the most favorable cir
cumstances.
1t is necessary, therefore, to beat and
shake thoroughly all articles that are
to be stored away, and if they need
cleaning they should be cleaned at
this time, rather than when they are
taken out, for dirty woollen clothing
naturally attracts moths. 1t is wise
plan to beat furs and hang them on a
line in strong light and air. Nogrub
can find Judgment long in such a place,
for, like all evil things, they abhor the
light Good househeepers begin to
put away, on the 14th of April, heavy
bedding and other articles as are need
ed only in the depth of winter, and
continue taking care of things as they
are discarded, until the winter hannels
are put away, usually about the first
of June. The reason for this is that
the month of April is a peculiarly
active month in the insect kingdom,
and it is not safe TO leave clothing or
any other articles that may attract
moths hanging about without frequent
inspection. SO long as clothing is
worn daily there is no danger.-N. Y.

If the land is on the east or south side
of the road, the buildings must be
placed a considerable distance from
the highway, unless space for planting
the trees can be obtained from the
farm just across the road. A long rope
attached to stake is helpful in laying
out the crescent. If rapid growth is
expected, cultivate the soil deeply and
thoroughly enrich it before planting
the small trees or seed. Plant in rows
and cultivate much as you would corn.
Protect from injury by live stock and
teams by proper fencing. Any sensi-

From the above table the value of
different foods will be seen, and judg-
ment must then direct the selection ac-
cording to the local price of each. In
some sections wheat may be cheap
enough to be the chief grain food.
Compared with corn it is worth about
seven or eight per cent, less as fat
tening food and is better for growing
animals. Wheat shorts or wheat mid
dlings, mixed half and half with corn
meal, makes very good ration, though
middlings contains more muscle form
ing material than whole wheat, and is,
consequently, poorer fattening food.
Oats and bran are not satisfactory pig
foods, being too coarse for the short
digestive tract of the hog. Give fat
tening pig as much food as he will eat
clean. Rural World.

How Fred Taylor, Member of the Gall
lapt 1S0th N. ", V. l.. Finally Found
What Ho Has Sought Since
tho War Closed.
(From the A,Ata5ula, ohio, Bsacoa.)


(From the Ashta5uld, Ohio, Bedeoa.l
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmira, N. Y, and from there en-,
listed In the lS9th regiment, N. Y, V. l.,
with which he went through tho war and
saw much hard service. Owing to exposure
and hardships during the service, Mr.. TayI
lor contracted chronic diarrhma from which
he has suffered now over 80 years, with abb
solutely no help from physicians. By
nature he was wonderfully vigorous man,
Had he not been, his disease and the exper-
iments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing which
afforded him relief. He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour a day on an average, and
he was reduced to skeleton. A year ago he
and his wife sought relief In change of
climate and removed TO Geneva, o., but the
change IN health came not. Finally on the
recommendation Of +. j. Hoffner, the
leading druggist Of Geneva, who was cog
infant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try
box. GAS drowning man grasps at q
straw 50 took the pills." says Mr.. Taylor,
''but with no morehope of rescue. But after
thirty years of suffering and fruitless search
for relief at last found it in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The day after l took the first
pills commenced to feel better and when l
had taken the first box Twas in fact new
man." That was two months ago. Mr..
Taylor has since taken more of the pills and
his progress Is steady and he has the utmost
confidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well as
in his youth. Color Is coming back to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He Is now able to do con-
siderable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his sufferings,
experience and cure to Beacon reporter,
Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help
meet these many years, said she wished to
add her testimony in favor Of Pink Pills.
ITO the pills alone Is due tho credit of rails
ing Mr.. Taylor from ahelpless invalid to the
man he is to-day,n said Mrs. Taylor. Both
MIR. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hui
manity. Any inquiries addressed to them at
Geneva, o., regarding Mr.. Taylor's case
| they will cheerfully answer, as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
| what Pink Pills have done for them and that
suffering humanity may be benefited thereby.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the ell
ements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams
| Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for
90 cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

Spring Makes Me Tired

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and "that tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is
found in the deficient quality of the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
richness and vitality. Consequently
as soon So the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is languor and lack of
energy. The cure will be found in
purifying and enriching the blood
Hoods sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.

Directions for Making Various servicoab'c
and Simple Types,
Almost every country home needs
windheak of trees, the exceptions be-
ing where hills check the air currents,
or natural grove can be utilized for
the purpose. In regions of low tenn.
perature, place 1t on the cold side OF
the house. In mild ATTITUDES place 1T
so as to shield the premises from the
most prevalent and dangerous winds.
Do not set the trees too close to the
dwelling, or the quarters of the live
stock. If less than 100 to 800 feet dis
tant the air is close and damp with
poor ventilation, which tends to de-
velop disease. On this account the
minimum number which viii afford
protection is better than large grove.
The space between the trees and the
buildings can be utilized for lawn,
garden, or for small fruits, avoiding
thick setting. Admit plenty of sun
light. 1t is vitalizer of most animal
and vegetable life. Better have no
windbreak than one too closely set. If
you have no tree shelter, start one this
spring. The form, size and distance
from buildings must be governed by
circumstances. A single row of thick
ly growing evergreens-white pine,
Norway spruce or red cedar-15 feet
apart will suffice. Limbs will then
grow close to the ground, while If more
than one row is used, the trees will
prune themselves, as in forest, and
in time destroy the efficiency Of the
windbreak, Deciduous trees of almost
any quick-growing, hardy variety will
answer, but require more land, grove
so to 100 feet wide being necessary.

able for timber with others at planting
