edY. For II.

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter Truth is stranger
than Fiction"
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that Z. p. p, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him Of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.

to admit q teaspoon, and any acid in

clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.

by saying he thanks God and our med

Trees Five Centuries old.

Gericke, the great German forester,
writes that the greatest ages to which
trees in Germany are positively known
to have lived are from 500 to $40 years.
For instance, the pine in Bohemia and
the pine in Norway and Sweden have
lived to the latter age. Next comes the
silver fir, which in the Bohemian for
ests has stood and thrivede for upward
of 400 years. In Bavaria the larch has
reached the age Of 275 years. OF foli-
age trees, the oak appears to have sur
yived the longest. The. best example
is the evergreen oak at Aschoffenburg,
which reached the age Of 40 years.
Other oaks in Germany have lived to
be from 315 to 800 years old. At
Aschoffenburg the red beech has lived
to the age of 245 years and at other
points to the age Of 225 years. OF
other trees, the highest known are:
Ash, ITO years; birch, 160 to 200 years;
aspen, 22O years; mountain maple, 225
years; elm, 13O years; red alder, las
years. london Public Opinion.

THE CLASS OF HORSES.

Profit In Breeding Horses Depends
ON the Breed.
1T is all in breeding the right kind Of.
horses whether they pay OF not. If we
breed the proverbial all-purpose horse
for our own use, he does not sell for
enough to pay for his feed. Out Of the
thousands of horses pouring into the.
Chicago market there are but few of
any special class suited to the mar
kets, and most of them are sold as rub
biSh for $50 or $75, and they cannot
be raised for that. The foreign buyers
are surprised that they cannot find
more good, big draft horses and fine,
stylish coachers among so many thou
sand horses: nor can they find good,
large military horses, now so much III
demand in all the European countries;
and our own army officers are eagerly
looking through the Chicago and other
markets for remounts for our cavalry,
but thus far have not been able to find
horses of the regulation requirements
City merchants, manufa cturerS and
teamsters are wanting more good.
heavy draft horses, and the Chicago
exchange reports a good demand for
high-claSS carriage coach and business
horses, express and good draft horses.
The Eastern buyers are looking for
good draft and coach horses more than
ever before, but have to be content
with such horses as are offered at less
price. Farmers should lCok to the mar
ket and breed horses to suit the mar
kets, rather than to- suit their own in
dividual tastes, especially when these
high-class draft and coach horses are
quite as good For the farm work as the
little, cheap horses, and once we use
them on the farm we will never give
them up. Breed for size and quality
to suit the markets.-Western Agricult-

Are Hogs scarce.

No one can travel through the hog,
belt and have any doubt left on his
mind with respect to whether hogs are
scarce or not. There is no question
about the short condition of the entire
swine-growing region. The bear
side at the livestock markets, howey-
er, still keeps a stiff upper lip and goes
whistling through a very dark forest
to keep it's courage up, maintaining
that the farmer is holding his hogs in
order to feed his cheap corn to them.
Those Of us in closer touch with the
hog growers of the country know a
great deal better than this. One farm
er writes us that the cholera has car
ried off nearly a thousand hogs in his
school district, by actual count; and it.
has attacked every herd in the district
except four; that all hogs that could be
shipped in time were shipped, and that
there are now remaining in the dis.
trict less than four hundred hogs by
actual count. including all ages and
sizes. Our "bear" friends would be
surprised II they knew in how many
districts this actual enumeration could
be duplicated. Those who have been
trading largely on the theory that hogs
