A Good Showing.
What a Reporter Learned About
a Certain Medicine.

. From the Journal, Minneapolis, Mimi.
There is one proprietary medicine in
use in this city, the name of which has
become a household word and that is
the preparation known as Pink Pills
for Pale People" Shakespeare said,
"a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet. That may be SO, but
pills put up by any other name would
not have the same attraction nor popu-
lar sales that Pink Pills have in Spo-
kane, Wash.
A representative of the Minneapolis
Journal started out the other day to in
vestigate the merits of this popular and
widely sold household medicine The
evidence was on every hand. Hamil-
ton B. Merrill, young money loaner
of Spokane, was seen by the newspaper
man. Mr.. Merrill made no secret of
his remarkable cure by these little
pellets.

Pills?" he reiterated. 81 should rath.
er think do, they have been blessing
to me. l am not in the habit of prais-
ing proprietary medicine, but | must
say that Pink Pills as far as my case
goes have no equal in the world. A
little over a year ago l began ailing and
commenced TO lose flesh rapidly. The
doctor told ms to stop smoking; this
did, but the result was even worse.
My heart beats decreased to less than
forty a minute. l was prescribed for
by my doctor, but without receiving
any benefit whatever | continued
daily to grow worse and my parents be.
came alarmed over my condition. Some
one suggested Pink Pills; | thought l
would try them anyway. And | tell
you ], cannot endorse them too highly;
they worked like charm in my case.
My heart soon became normal again,
my flesh increased and felt like new
man. To tell you the truth | am still
taking them. | have sort of fond
ness for them yet and l am loath to
give them up.
81 know of young lady living in
this city, whose condition was even
worse than mine, she took Pink Pills
and is one of society's gayest young
ladies now. / wish | were at liberty
to give her name, as | am sure she would
only be too delighted to give them a
hearty send off. | believe Pink Pills
cannot be too highly recommended
They are gems, indeed. .
Mr.. Merrill is a young man of % or
% years of age and today is the pink
of health. He has splendid complex
ion and would be the last person to be
taken for one who has been so seriously
i'll only few months ago. He is a
splendid athlete besides and moves in
the best circles of society here.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, ST. Vitus' dance, sci.
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effect of la grippe,
palpitatiou of the heart. pale and sal
low compilations, all forms of weakness
either in male or female. Pink Pills
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
post paid on receipt of price, 30 cents

Metbols of TiIIare,

The method of blowing is not so i'm
portant as the act of blowing or turn
ing the sward, yet the method should
differ with the soil. Sandy soils de.
hcient in organic matter and already
open should receive a different furrow
from a compact clay. The former
should have a close and closed furrow
or fiat furrow, while the latter requires
a lap furrow. Such fIlrroW loses
nothing in breaking longitudlnally and
crosswise in the act of turning. As
such burrows plow harder, their adj
yocaey is of doubtful propricty. for we
are in the age of effective after-tillage
tools in the cutaway types to harrows.

Dehorninc.

An expert VIII dehorn an animal very
quickly either with a saw or clippers.
Sharp clippers with shear cut will
take horns off very nicely and quickly.
A good operator will take off both horns
in ten seconds, either with saw or
clippers. Calves can be dehorned when
one or two weeks old by touching the
embryo horn with n stick of lunar caus-
tic or a hot iron. BY the exercise of
proper care and applying some healing
mixture afterwards the calves suffer
but little.
Dehorning can be done at any time,
except during hot weather, when the
wound Is apt to be fly blown. unless
pine tar IS applied daily to prevent it.
Young cattle are best dehorned when
about year old. If dehorned when
much younger the horn is more liza bic
to grow again. They suffer but little,
and only for an instant during the op-
GRAFTON. They almost invariably begin
eating as soon as liberated, which they
certainly would not do If the pain con
tnued As a rule they do not bleed so
much as to make 1t necessary TO apply
anything to stop it. The older the ami
mai the less they bleed usually. They
should always be kept stabbed until the
bleeding ceases. The quieter they are
kept the less Will be the danger.

Make Al the Land pa

1t is one of the advantages or dis
advantages, as the case may be, of
renting land that the man who rents
has fully impressed upon him the need
of getting full returns from every acre
that he pays rent for. If the farm Is
cwned this point is not often thought
of If the farmer gets a living, and II
he can still lay by a few dollars In the
bank at the end of the year. he thinks
he is doing all that can be expected
Quite likely this is true in times of low
prices, when 1t is most difficult to make
farming pay. But 1t is not the result
at which a farmer should aim. His
attempt should be even If not realized
to get some profit from every acre, and
to make his best land produce as large
profit as 1t is capable of doing. When
ever farmers aim at these purposes they
will be able to withstand competition
unless 1t comes from those whose nat
ural facilities for cheap production are
superior to their own.

Golden Wax Rrnna

The Golden Wax beaus, from the
tenderness of their pods and absence of
strings, are much the most popular
bean for use when green. But not
many know that next to the Lima bean
the Golden Wax is also best for use in
its dry state 1t has n richer flavor. re-
calling the Lima when II is cooked dry
There is, however, such a demand for
wax beans for seed in spring that not
many of them can be afforded for eat
ing purposes. Probably If the superior
ity Of the wax bean was understood
more would be grown and used dry.
The only drawback on growing the wax
bean largely is the difficulty of shell
ling It. The waxy condition of the
pods keeps the beans from drying out.
as most other beans will do. and un-
less shelled by hand some beans will
be left In the pod.

Hedges as soil Robbers.

Land in this country is not so yalu-
able as it is in England, so the waste
of ground occupied by hedges and
their roots extending either side has
never been regarded as Of much i'm
portance. But as the hedge grows
older it extends its roots in every direc-
ton, until as in the Usage orange each
hedge plant becomes a large tree. In
England hedges are kept closely
trimmed, and this restricts the extern
sion Of roots on either side We can
not get the labor to do this In this
country without making the hedge
fence more expensive than more per
manent fence made wholly Of iron or
of woven wire. If the hedge Is al
lowed to grow, the waste of land it
will cause will make its cost greater
still. Most owners of hedges on farms
would be glad to be rid of them If they
could do so at little cost

Caring for Seed Corn.

l like to shuek my seed corn In the
field to judge the stalk, says CORE
respondent OF the Indiana Farmer"
This year gathered It about fair time,
and spread 1t out on a hay loft. 1t will
keep well in house loft which a pipe
goes through, or fairly well In gram
sacks, not shelled in a shop. The sack
Is some protection. But am going to
try this winter a plan given by pro-
gressive farmer at Winchester Inst
tute. After corn is quite dry he puts it
in cracker barrels mixed well with dry
threshed oats, the corn still on the cob,
and places them in dry place. This
protects the grain much as nature does
from sudden changes of moisture and
temperature. He says his corn always
shows great vitality. 1t is not enough
that corn may grow" 1t should grow
with vigor.
The loft of a workshop is a typical
place. | once bought seed that had
been corded under the ceiling of dry
cellar. 1t was swelled tight on the
cob, but was good seed. / never like to
shell seed that shows a crumpled or
blistered face. You all know what that

Boiling Grain for Stock.

While we believe every farmer who
keeps stock in any quantity should
have a steam boiler and mill to grind
the grain he feeds, still those who lack
this can find the next bast substitute
by boiling the grain until swelled and
feeding it in this shape. More of the
grain must be fed to produce the same
result as whole unboiled grain, be
cause the cooking increases bulk with
out increasing it's nutrition. But the
boiled grain is partly disested in the
cooking process, so that il is less likely
to injure when stock Is fed on it large
ly. 1t is better to boil grain, cheap az
1t now Is. than to draw grist eight
or ten miles, as we have often done
and wait whole day for 25-bushel
grlst to be ground, besides paying in
money the cost of grinding.

In valuable paper on the relation Of
soil ferments to agriculture, Prof
Wiley. of the Depa rtment OF Agricul-
ture, draws attention to the dangerous
possible results OF burylng animals
that have died Of some forms of CON
tagious disease. Our veterinarians have
for years past insisted on the propriety
of burning Immediately after death Of
all animals that have died of anthrax
and DIR. Wiley in his essay on fermcnts
on the soil, says: There are forms Of
ferments in the soil of dangerous ma
ture, as well as those which contribute
to vegetable life. 1t has been observed
In France that in localities where ami
mails that had died Of cha rbon (anthra y
or Splentc apopleXy) had been inferred
the germs of this infectious malady
have persisted in the soil for many
years, and that especially when cereal
crops are cultivated on such soils there
Is great danger of healthy cattle get
ting contaminated with the same dis
ease. In one case where an animal died
of Charlton, sheep fed two years on the
land where 1t was buried were infected
with the same disease and died" The
same thing is quite likely to happen
with hog cholera. Every effort should
be made by farmers to avoid injecting
the soil by burying the carca sses of any
animals that have died of any zymotic
disease. Burning is the only safe way
to dispose of carcaSses. Science has
fully established that several diseases
of this nature may have their germs
kept alive in the soil for several years,
and for all such cases fire is the only
safeguard
