Catching Flies OF of Cattle.

A machine for catching flies off the
backs of cattle, and SO affording the ami
mails relief and comfort. has been invent
ed by farmer in Madison county, Ky.
The fly catcher is kind of covered pen
or passageway, through which the ami
NAL must walk to secure relief. A few
feet from the entrance there is a cupola
or dome in the roof of the passageway,
made of glass and arranged as fly
trap. Beyond this the passage is dark
ness. The animal walks through the
machine, and just as it passes under the
dome and enters the darkest part set
of brushes sweep off the flies, which
naturally rise into the lighted dome,
and the steer passes out at the other
side free of flies. The flies are retained
in the dome trap. The inventor has ex"
perimented with his machine, and finds
that the animals soon learn the value of
the machine and know enough to walk
through the machine when the flies be-
gin to bite. The device has been pat.

Found the Cap of the sphinx.

There is no end to the finds il.
Egypt. 1t has hitherto always been be-
lieved that as much was known about
the sphinx as could be known; but now
Col. Roum, an American, by digging
around the base, has brought some very
curious facts to light. AT the back OF
the figure was found a shaft Is feet
deep, with two passages running out OF
it at the bottom. Mere important was
the discovery of the long-lost cap of
the sphinx, which was found Is fee:
below the surface of the little temple
or shrine between the paws. The CAP
lis painted red and is adorned with the
three lotus columns and the serpent.
AS the hole in the top of the head of the
sphinx into which the cap was fastened
is still unchanged, the cap should be
restored to its place. We hope thai
Col. Roum's next find will be the frag-
ments of the nose, broken off by an
Arab iconoclast some 500 years ago.
If these could be recovered and the nose
restored the sphinx would be 1.-THE IA

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Too much or too severe pruning is al
ways more or less weakening. especially
if continued year after year.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet
ter to leave one strong branch OR limb
than two or three weak ones.
The only remedy for black rot is to
cut off and burn Immediately all
branches that show any indication of
the disease.
Cultivate your young and small fruits
the same as you would any other crop
realize profit.
In setting out grape settings, plant
in dry, low soil, so that only the top
bud will be exposed and then mulch
with straw.
When selecting the trees take those
with the roots large and strong enough,
and then top light enough to do away
with the necessity of stalking.
BY leaning the trees a little to the
southwest when they are set out, sun
scalding may be largely avoided, as the
top will partly shade the trunk.
The sooner now that red and black
raspberries, blackberries, currants and
gooseberries are set out the Better.
Early planting induces stronger root

A young, tender tree cannot grow
without good care and attention. A
tree is strong and hardy when it is old
and its roots are we'll established, but
when young it must be attended to.
Trees should always be set about as
deep as they stand in the nursery or
two or three inches deeper to allow for
the settling of the soil.-St. Louis Re.

ssInstead of improving under the care Of

about six o'clock each morning suffered

rolled and tossed until the bed shook like
an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious
chat the doctor won't tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills to take. The
very thought of them now makes me shiver.
These morphine pills simply put me to sleep
for awhile and when became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
'The pain in my stomach and back was
more than could stand. Your blood IL

iasses,' and did until twas a great wonder
that was not a molasses cake. 1t was time

ninety; my cheeks were pale and supken
and I limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Then read of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and the testimo nial in tho Neps inspired me
with hope. I got the pills and took them.
Before many days began to improve and
before had finished one box felt as if I
could go out and walk for miles. I soon
stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
soon bid goodbye to my headaches while
tho pain in my stomach and back slowly
but surely succumbed to the influence Of
these pills that seem to be able to persuade
al pain to leave ones body. Now am az
used to be; well and strong, Eghthearted
and merry but mover without the pills. See
I have got some of them now" and from
nearby desk she handed out one of the
boxes.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and 3allow cheeks. In men they effect
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overworlx or excuses of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never
in loose bull1) at so cents a box or six boxes
for $3.50, and may be had of all druggists,

They know that production and con-

does not end until it is exchanged for

a very wise philosopher has observed
that the great bulk of the people must
always support the mass of the popula-
ton.
The people pay for everything the
people have. The public pays for the
railroads and the expense of running
them. If the railroads were only half
as good and could only haul half as
much it would cost the people twice as
much to ride or ship over them.
1t is fortunate for the people that rail-
roads are conducted in an organized
business-like way. If the opponents to
improved roads had their way the rail-
roads would be neither profitable nor
pleasant.
The people of community are the

that community.

AXLE GREASE CHEESE.
Why Farmers Should Assist in the Sup

Why Farmers Should Assist in the Sup
preston of Its Manufacture.
Every effort to suppress the manu-
facture and sale of filed cheese deserves
the heartiest support of all farmers.
The question is of more general i'm
portance than many farmers seem to
imagine, for the cheese and butter in
dustries are SO closely allied that when
our export cheese trade is destroyed
the butter market cannot fail to be af-
fected.
The recent low prices commanded by
the best creamery butter has alarmed
many people, persuading them into the
belief that the creamery business is
overdone. If this be true-and it is not
possible now to say whether it is or not,
for markets are affected by many cir
cumstances-but if it be true, the
remedy lies close at hand. With the
suppression of filed cheese, America
can produce and sell at advantageous
prices tons and tons of the real article.

FAST DAY IN NEW ENGLAND.
How the Custom Was Established by thu
Pilgrim Fathers.

How the Custom Was Established by the
Pilgrim Fathers.
The custom of appointing special
aay, known as Fast day, has been in
vogue in the New England states ever
since the landing of the Puritan SET.
tiers on the Massachusetts, shores.
When the Pilgrim fathers came over
from England they brought with them
the old custom of appointing special
days for fasting and prayer. If there
was any great object for which they
were struggling day was set apart
that all might join in the prayer TO the
Almighty for strength and wisdom.
The first observance in this country
was soon after the Pilgrims landed in
Salem. On the day set for the festival
all joined in praise to the Lord, at the
same time asking for plenty of rain and
abundant crops. These occasions were
generally appointed by the resident
clergymen, but as the colonies eX.
banded and states were formed tn.
duty gradually fell on the governors OF
the different states. The custom has
been handed down from generation 10
generation as a matter of course. The
nation, which is generally published
in nearly all the newspapers in the
state, and finely engrossed copy is
sent to all the clergymen through the
various city and town clerks, to be
read from their pulpits the Sunday pre-
v.ous.
The observance has been almos:
wholly confined to the New England
states. and has now become almost
meaningless. In fact, Massachusetts
woke up to this fact several years ago
and abolished the practice. Henry
Ward Beeher, in Norwood" says:
The Pilgrims found it written: They
that SOW in tears shall reap in JOY. He
that goeth forth and waiteth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come
again with rejoicing, bringing his
sheaves with him. This beautiful!
poetry was translated into the policy
of the Pilgrims by establishing fast
day in March or April and day OF
Thanksgiving in November. Thus, the
whole people were to pass through the
two gates of the year, Tears and Smiles.
and observe them as holy days. all other
profane and unsteady festivities
Christmas, New Years and Saints days
without number, being laid aside.
But very few churches now observe
the day. The ministers read the proc
lamation, and that ends it. 1t is a gay
holiday, pure and simple. Not much
Testing is done and less praying. Base
ball has superseded alteration of the
Deity, and horseback riding gives vast
~ more pleasure to the average man
than Xerophagy.
The governor always says that Fast
day is a day of Humiliation, fasting
and prayer" but no one ever takes the
manifesto seriously, and, therefore
everybody takes care to enjoy himself
as much as possible on this occasion.
It is evident that the people believe
that day spent in innocent and health
full amusement is fully as well en-
ployed as if it had been passed in vain
effort at Humiliation" on an empty
