The modern farmer is not content to use the
ANTICIPATED tools and methods of his fathers.
In this age of keen competition, the farmer who
wishes to prosper, needs and gets the most Inn
proved farming Implements; and by reading
the best agricultural literature, he keeps in
touch with the spirit of progress that pervades
our farming communities. He Is particular
also, in regard to the kind of seed he plants and
the manner OF planting it. The seeds must be
of highest fertility and grown from the highest
Gu uvated and most profitable vare les of stock.
The great seed firm of d. NJ. Ferry & Co., De-
troit, Mich, fully appreciate this fact as Is at
tested by their progressive business methods
and the quality OF the seed which they supply
farmers and gardeners through the dealers ali
over the country. The reliability and fertility
OF their seeds are proverbial and the largest
seed business in the world has been created by
their sale. In evidence of this firms knowledge
of the wants and requirements of planters.
large and small, is "Ferrys Seed Annual" for
1896. This book is OF the greatest value to
farmers and gardeners-a veritable encylo-
pse lila of planting and farming knowledge. It
contains more useful and practical information
than many text books that are sold for dollar
or more, yet it will be mailed free to any one

SAILING AWAY.

Sailing away with the wind abeam,
And the wide, wide sea before;
Sailing away in q lovers dream
To the port of the golden shore,
Idle hands on the rudder bands,
Hope in the sunrise fair,
And hearts as light as the sea bird white
Afioat in the morning air.
Love, in the dawn Of that faroff time,
Did you guess of the weary ways
Dearest, when life seemed summer rhyme,
Could we tell where We went astrayf
Silent tears through the coming years,
Darkness for you and me,
And doubt and dread of the wilds ahead
Fell chill as we sailed a-sea.
Sailing ashore with waning wind
On the glass of dreaming tide,
Leaving the dark of the deep behind
For the light of the other side,
Loosen hands from the rudder bandsl
All, to the margin foam
Comes breath of land DER the golden sand.
Oh sweet is our welcome homel

being a constitutional disease, requires q

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the

He Will Not Drown Himself

sun beat down upon our unprotected
heads. When reached Washington

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, insomnia and
rheumatism; a completely shattered
system which gave me no rest night or

look as if there was any rheumatism

and freely and strobe about the room
like young boy. "a year ago these
fingers were gnarled at the joints and
so stiff that l could not hold a pen.

not straighten my leg out. My joints

Paderewski's Joke.

The other day when Paderewski was
dining at a hotel In Richmond, Va, q
fine nickel-plated banjo was sent in by
a local banjo player, with the request
that the great pianist should write a
short musical sentiment on the sheep
skin head. Paderewski complied with
the request, and this Is the sentiment
to which he attached his signature: Il

former on this beautiful instrument; am

Once in while the dry pages of gov
eminent reports are enlivened by details
of sensational incidents. Witness the
following from report Of John w.
Fleming, United States mine inspector
for New Mexico: 81 arrived at Cerillos
on the evening of the 26th of February,
at II p. N. On the morning Of the 27th
/ went out to the White Ash Coal mine,
about ~ miles from the town. When
arrived there, I asked the superintendent
of the mine, James Duggan, about the
condition of the mine, and he informed
me that it was never better; that he
had been in the mine every day for eight
or ten days past, and had taken air
measurements and found that the venti-
lation was better than ever before
Upon my request that he proceed into
the mine for its inspection, he stated
that he was required to go to the coke
ovens of the company at Waldo, about
IN miles distant, and would return by
noontime, and we would go into the
mine. " At II a. m. an explosion of
fire damp occurred in the mine which
killed "a men, and showed the inspector
that, sometimes, delays are the reverse
