1.-TWO years ago." said Mrs. Harry
Rhodes, whose home is at No. l Blackbawk
Street, Aurora, kan County, Illinois. s'My
life was one of misery because of rheumatic
affections which the most skilled physicians
of this city were powerless to cure. Ny
Affections were of a sciatic nature which
affected not only my hips put both legs and
feet to such q degree that l did not dare to
step upon the ground for fear of bringing
on the most eXcruciating pains.
The several physicians to whom / ap-
Piled were powerless to aid me, and / was
in a very respondent condition and almost
without hope. When one day l noticed a
testimonial in one of our daily papers from
q woman who had been cured of rheumatism
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Sanders q Sherer's drug store is Just across
the street from my husbands place OF busi-
ness, and l asked him to call there and pur-
chase a box of pills, which he did.
That first box of pills worked wonders
for me. Knight almost say that the first
half dozen produced a very noticeable ef-
feet, for that night l obtained sleep without
the aid of opiates, and with the second day
the pains grew less and less until they de-
parted altogether, never to return. l con-
tlnued to take the pills. in the prescribed
doses, for several weeks when ! found my
self entirely cured.
"My sister, Mrs. Bert Scott, whose home
was at Duluth, Minnesota, was troubled
with rheumatic difficulties similar to mine.
Her trouble was the principal reason for
the removal of the family TO Chicago, where
MIR. Scott is in the plumbing business, and
their home is now at Is Teale Court. They
expected the atmosphere of Illinois to as
sist in a cure which the physicians could
not bring about in the climate of Superior,
but my sister became no better, with the
very best of medical attendance, until /
recommended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
her. As in my case they worked q speedy
cure, and Mrs. Scott is now entirely free
from all rheumatic disorders. and she is as
conscientious as l am in her praises of the
remedy which has lone so much to make the
lives of two families far happier than they
were two years ago."
Dr.. 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 loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'

Treatment of Poultry Manure.

Poultry manure should be removed
rom the houses every day and should
te kept upier cover. Every time drop
pings are added to the pile, sprinkle on
either land plaster or kainit. The lat
Ter is to be preferred because it coz
,ains potash, in which the poultry
are deficient. The object Of
the addition is to prevent the escape Of
ammonia, and the nose will be a safe
guide in determining the amount Of
Eainit to Use. The quantity necessary
will vary with the degree of moisture
of the II and the temperature Of
the air. Add enough so that there is
no odor of ammonia when the pile is
stirred. The mixture of kainit with
hen manure fits it for use for hoed
corps. 1t should be made fine before
application.-Western Plowman.

Green Food Is the Best Thing to Stimn-
late Egg Production.

late Egg Production.
No other food is so absolutely neces-
sary for the production of eggs in win
ter as the grcen-food ration. The coop
inS of Lens during the cold months is
a modern and rather unnatural conui-
tion of things. Our forefathers never
considered 1t necessary to house a flock
Mt any season of the year. except at
night, and then only in cold climates.
In the south. where the average tenn
pcrature is mild throughout the year,
fowls are left generally to themselves
and roost in trees or on fences-any
place where they can be higher at
night than their prowling enemies.
Modern poultry culture has improved
on all This, and to-day the successful
breeder. whether for egg production
or fancy points, houses his stock COM
foTIably and confines them closely to
their coops during the winter months.
1t is therefore necessary to supply
them with all the variety of food they
would otherwise gather, if left to their
own inclinations. When the spring
comes and your fowls are let out for
the first time, watch them and you will
see how eagerly they will rush TO the
nearest grass and devour ravenous!y
every blade.
Everything that is of a vegetable ma
ture is worth storing, therefore, to
supply the place of the natural green
article so much enjoyed by them
small potatoes, turnips, mangel-wut-
zeIs, cabbage. dried clover; in fact,
anything of this nature that can be
successfully kept over during cold
weather.
The small vegetables and clover hay
cap be boiled or steamed and added to
the morning mash, and the mangcls
and cabbage can be fed in the raw
state. Many of u most successful
egg farmers feed the last two as a sep
arate midday ration, all that the hens

PREPARING BROOM CORN.
Useful Hints sent Out by a Chicago Com
mission Firm.

Useful Hints Sent Out by a Chicago Com
mission Firm.
The following from a commission
firm in Chicago gives growers Of broom
corn some useful hints in regard to
putting up their corn for market:
The corn should be well seeded and
at the same time the growers should
avoid scraping the fine tibers from the
tips. Let the corn thoroughly cure
before baling and butt it down well
before laying in the press; this will
make nice smooth ends and give the
bales a nice appearance. Corn is fire.
quently received with the bale broken
in two when the corr is short. In or
der to avoid this, when laying the snort
corn in the press there should be layers
put in the center of the bales for bind
ers to hold the corn together and this
will make good solid bales. Care
should be taken not to put rubbish or
scrapings from the cylinder in the CEN
ter of the bales, as this is worthless and
a total loss to broom makers. There
are always a few who resort to this
practice and it is injuring the reputa-
ton of all the western growers. We do
do o see why the western farmers
should not realize as good prices for
their corn as the Illinois farmers, pro-
viding the brush is well handled and of
as good quality. The last few years the
quality of their corn has not been up
to the standard, but we trust that this
year they will have a fine quality of
brush, which will bring the west to the
front again,

Selection of seed corn and its care

While the early ripening will always

after a number of years of such saving
l am satisfied the variety grows small
by so doing. l prefer to plant and sow
