"AS LIZ BY MAGIC"
Miss David's Strong Endorsement of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills. She Wishes
That Every Afflicted One Could
Try This Remedy.



From no one in this city has DR.. Williams
Pink Pills received more unstinted praise
than from Miss David, of No l6, North B
Street, Hamilton, OHIO. Seldom one hears
of such favorable results from the use of
medicine, as was effected in the case in
question.
Miss David, who is a modest and unassum-
ing, but most charming little lady, is
prompted to make public statement of her
case solely as an act of charity to others
who are unfortunate enough to be afflicted,
and no one among Miss David's large circle
of friends and acquaintances could possibly
question the lady's motive in making such
statement. Miss David has resided in this
city for years and is connected with the
Trabcr family, one of the Oldest and most
honOred in Butler county.
Speaking to a NGWS representative, Miss
David said
"Although Ihave resided in Hamilton for
quite while, l am originally a native of
Pennsylvania, and it was while on Il visit in
Philadelphia anumber of years ago, that
suffered q very severe attack of diphtheria, 1t

paper, my attention was attracted to the
Pink Pill advertisement and resolved to
give it a trial. Not anticipating results so
soon, you can imagine my great surprise
and pleasure to soon notice beneficial re
suits. The Old numb feeling in my limbs,

paralysis, gradually disappeared as if by
magic-and my whole system was soon on
the mend. In fact at the very outset the
medicine worked wonderful change in my
whole body and thanks to the efficacy of
the little Pink Pills, am greatly improved
woman to day. only wish that every one
afflicted could try TINS remedy, for l feel
certain that speedy cure would be the in
evitabie result"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in q con-
denscd form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as srppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect a
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overWork or excesses of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
Nebraska Farmers Are Making the Crol
Pay Fairly Well.

Nebraska Farmers Are Making the Crop
Pay Fairly Well.
The live question among farmers now
is what can be done to make farming
pay? If sugar beet growing pays in
Nebraska may il not be made profitable
in other grain-growing states? 1t is
nn interesting question. What, then,
are they doing in that state that is
taking the lead in this industry? The
season is SO far advanced that pretty
close estimate of the beet-sugar prod
uct may be made, and the output of
the great OXnard factories is expect
ed TO reach a total of 100000 pounds
from $4,000 tons of beets. This is about
twice as large a field as that of 1895,
ard nearly three times as great as that
of 1894. At the same time the number
of farmers who have cultivated beets
has increased with like rapidity. In
1854 only about 500, and in 1895, 1900
engaged in the business, but the pres
ent year the number reached about
2,0G0. The average yield has been about
IL tons of beets to the acre, and the
price per ton has ranged from four to
seven dollars. The latter l4gure was
paid for beets that contained the re-
markably high per cent. of 20; the lower
price was given for those that graded
only ~ per cent. of sugar. The amounts
received by the growers ranged from
$44 to $77 per acre. The average amount
of beets grown by each farmer was
only about 81 tons, showing that less
than four acres were planted, on the
average. But the profit from this small
area was from $3.50 to $20O-more, prob
nbly, than that derived from all the re-
mainder of the farm.
1t is an interesting fact that in all
the foreign sugar-beet growing coun-
tries, including France, Germany and
Russia, this industry is steadily increas-
ing. In the last-named country the in
crease last year was nearly 20 per cent.
over the amount grown in prev GUS
years. The subject is certainly we'll
worthy of consideration by our farm

ABOUT CORN FODDER.
Some Valuable Hints About Shredding,
Storing and Feeding.

Storing and Feeding.
Combined corn huskers and fodder
cutters or shredders were used to a lin
tied extent in this section of country
some years since, but | think none are
used now. Imperfections in material,
workmanship, and in principle of con-
struction, as then made, and the eX
pense of operating, will account for
their failure to obtain a foothold
nmong the labor-saving machines of
ouI country. All except the last of
these objections have been overcome in
the latter machines, which are now be-
fore the public.
For several years past all the shred
| ding that has been done in this section
| has been with the common small-grain
thresher-mostly with old machines.
While they do not do the work quite as
well as the special corn machinery
cow in use, the expense of purchasing
the latter is avoided by the use of the
| thresher.
As a shredder, the thresher, used
with all of the cylinder spikes and two
| half-rows of concave spikes, is a de-
cided success. doing the work rapidly
and well-in fact, much more of sue
cess than as shelter and cleaner OF
the grain, which usually is left some
what broken and rot clean enough for
market, though in good condition for
feeding purposes. If, however, the
ground has been wet and is frozen when
the threshing is done, causing the earth
t. adhere to the stalks, a considerable
| quantity of Jumps of frozen earth about
| the size of corn kernels will be found
in the grain. If the corn is dry when
| threshed Ga condition essential to best
work and easily secured west of the
Missouri, there will be no difficulty in
| keeping the grain in bin and the stover
in large quantities in NOW or stack.
| Our dry autumns are very favorable for
| this work, which is usually done in

in northern Ohio the corn was never

AEIs JUST ADVERTISING.


Method of Interesting the Public Adopted
by a Railroad.
Those who for the last few days have
seen a man dressed as n farmer circulat-
ing through the business districts of
Chicago, with gripsack and every ap-
pearance of the regulation ''yap," must
not think they are gazing on the relics
of blasted political hope. They must
not think that the man is, fguratively
speaking, 'eating crow" or paying an
election bet. Middle-of-the road popu-
lists need not shed sympathetic tears
for the fellow in the belief that he is
one of their unfortunate brethren who
went against it" too hard.
AS a matter of fact, the farmer is not
farmer, but shrewd man of business
who has advanced ideas of advertising.
The farmer" wears faded stiff hat
which at one time was brown. He is
dressed in pantaloons which strike him
at about the shin bone and expose his
high boot legs. A sun-bleached blue
coat hangs over his shoulders like a
dress suit on a scarecrow, and in his
hand the man carries yellow valise
which would dissolve in a rainstorm
On the valise is an advertisement for
one of the big railway lines.

How to Dig a Farm Well.

Before digging a well it is we'll to
look and see what kind of trees are
growing near it. Locust trees will send
their roots distance of IS to 20 feet for
water, and if a well is within that dis.
tance they will surely get into it if the
well is walled with stones. In a driven
well, of course, the water can only get in
at the bottom, and this is a much better
and cheaper way of putting down wells
than the old-fnshioned one of digging
out the earth by hand.

Two Wonderful Serials Which "The Cen

Two Wonderful Serials Which "The Cen

OEe of the best friends that Gen.
Grant ever had was Horace Porter.
There firstmeeting was at Chattanooga
in the autumn of 1868, and soon after
Gen. (then Captain) Porter became a
member of Grants staff and served with
him constantly until Lees surrender
When Grant became president Horace
Porter was made his private secretary,
and until Gen. Grant breathed his last
at Mount McGregor the two men were
close friends. Nor did Gen. Porter's
love for his chief cease with his death,
for to him isdue the success of the move
n1cnt to raise the half million of dollars
which the Grant monument in River
side park will cost. The Inauguration
of the tomb will take place next spring
on Grants birthday, and Gen. Porter
will be the orator of the occasion.
During these years of intimacy with
Grant Gen. Porter kept a diary, and in
his moments of leisure he has arranged
his unique stories of anecdotes and
memoranda into series of twelve ar
ticles, entitled campaigning with
Grant" and The Century Magazine
has secured all rights in the series and
will print it during the coming year.

ell, whose literary reputation is as high
as his standing in his own profession.
The story is supposed to be the auto
biography of the hero, Hugh Wynne,
Free Quaker" who becomes an officer
on Gen. Washington's staff. Social life
in the capital, Philadelphia, is most in
terestingly depicted, and the characters
in the story include Washington,
Franklin and Lafayette. The readers of
Hugh Wynne, the Free Quaker" will
obtain a clearer idea of the Revolution
ary War than can be had from any
other single source. 1t is believed that
DIR. Mitchell has written "the great
American novel;" for which we have
been waiting so many years.
These are only two of the features of
The Century for the coming year-the

for what The Century gives, but

the making up of clubs early. Send

The posts; and by taking pains to have
all the trees the same distance apart,
the fence, with the two by four-inch
posts, can be removed by taking out
the keys that hold them on, to any por-
tion of the farm where trees are pre-
pared for them.
This makes a very substantial and
durable fence, lasting from 25 to 30
years. The trees need not cost anything
more than a little time and attention,
as they can be obtained by planting
the seed from the incest apples; and
the fruit will more than repay for the
cost of the fence in a few years.
Such a fence should be along every
public highway, as it would give the
road and fields an attractive and home
like appearance.-Farm and Fireside.
