Paper Car Wheels.

Paper car wheels, says an exchange,
came into use some years ago, and now
they run under nearly every sleeping,
parlor, and dining car in this country
and thousands of passenger cars. This
is the Allen paper car wheel made in
Pullman, Ill. The castiron hub of the
paper wheel is bored into the car axle,
and the outside surface is made finish
ed to within the thousandth part OF an
inch to the standard gauge. The body
or centre of the car wheel is made of
layers of strawboard glued together and
then put under enormous pressure IN
an hydraulic press. T h layers Of
strawboard are glued together in pairs
first, and each pair is allowed to cure
or dry for several weeks, and thus little
by little the centre of the wheel Is
built up Tho results of these success
sive operations is a material which in
no way resembles paper Or strawboard,
but rather an extremely hard. grantees
wood, so tough that it requires tools
made of the very best steel to work it.

down with Bilious Fever, and came
near dying I began at once with the
Tonic giving him dose every two
hours. called in our family doctor
and told him what | was doing. He
said it was the right treatment and adj
vised that / continue It. He called
again the next day and saw the effect
of the Tonic and gave nothing himself.
Within week my father was able to
walk about the house.
| persuaded him to take a second
bottle and under its use he has grown
strong Although IS years old on the
Oath OF last June, he has to-day taken
horseback ride of six miles unattended.
This is only one Of many remarkable
cures performed by the Tonic that has
come under my personal observation
in the last "a years that have been
selling the Tonic.
If this remarkable medicine cost SIS
a bottle and could only be obtained in
London, there would be widespread in
terest manifested In it and vigorous ef-
forts made to obtain it. But the fact
that it sells for so cents bottle and
this returned If you are not pleased with
the medicine, lead many people to
overlook it altogether.
I use it in every case in my own fam
lily and in my own immediate influence.
Don't think that have ever been CALL
ed on to refund the purchase price Of a
single bottle. Had one customer who
came sixteen miles for bottle last
week. Yours very truly,

THAT WONDERFUL CHURN

l want to add my testimony to the
list OF those that have used the Light
ming Churn. It does all that is claim
ed for it ;-you can churn easily In one
minute and get a large percentage more
butter than with the common churns
l never took the agency for anything
before, but so many of nelghbors want
churns that ordered 80 and they are
all gone. l think In a year every farm
er will have Lightning Churn, In fact
they can't afford to be without one as
they make so much more butter and
good little bit of money can be made
In every township selling these churns.
BY writing to J. F. Casey & Co., St.
Louis Mo, you can get circulars and
full particulars about the churn.

THE TINE TO PLow ORCHARDS.

"Plow before thu leaves are out" is
the advice generally given by our
agricultural exchanges. That is well
enough for trees that are,in full bear
ing and past their prime. Such trees
need ali the vitality they can command
to perfect their crops. Flowing while
the tree is dormant does not seriously
injure it if the pillow is not run deeply
neal the tree. The cutting off OF
small, cots is easily replaced when the
growing season begins. But if the
roots are cut badly after the leaves
are out the tree cannot supply sap as
fast as the leaves exhale it, and there
is a consequent check in growth.
This for young trees that are making
too much wood growth is just what is
needed. It used to be said by farm
ers that the buckwheat crop was the
best for young orchards. The plow-
ing for that is done in midsummer,
and one or two years of such treat
ment will always induce thecfc>,mation
of fruit buds, aud bring the tllee into
bearing. This habit of fruitsbearing
once formed is continued, unless in-
scots or blight cause the fruit Is fail
after it is set, and.the blightdfs very
largely prevented by liberal use of

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

You cannot make eggs out Of fatten.
ing food.
Dry scratching places will pay for
all they will cost.
You cannot keep poultry for profit
in crowded quarters.
Sour milk is valuable for laying
hens and growing chickens.
You cannot succeed with chickens
and ducks in the same yards.
You cannot expect fertile eggs
when the fowls do not exercise.
| You cannot make a business out Of
| poultry culture without applying BUSH
ness principles.
Good management has much to do
with success in any pursuit. and this
is especially the case with poultry
keeping.
The Babcock test is unmerciful it
| sometimes condemns the incest look
ing COWS in the herd. But it always
tells the truth.
In feeding poultry for market it is
| we'll to remember that averaged sized
fowls of all kinds are in better demand
than those that are of extra large size
or weight.
Immense fortunes have been made
by small economies. Saving little
things has built up the greatest manu-
featuring concerns of the country. If
the da:ryman will only stop the leaks
| and practice small economies he will
| get rich faster. For example, stop
that waste Of fat in the skim-milk ;get
rid of that COW that eats all she earns
and all that her stable mate earns.
To reduce the cost Of milk produc-
ton, says q writer, employ better
cows; give them ~rations composed of
elements best adapte d for economical
milk making; feed regularly with a
| generous hand. Absolute comfort, in
the stables and ont, is altogether in
dispensable; pure water, salt, gentle
and humane treatment, a strict atten-
ton that never grows weary in look
ing after cleanliness of every sur
rounding, are all strong factors in the
direction of p~ecuniary advancement
and of getting satisfactory returns On

An AlmshOuse for Stray Dogs.

An a%lmshouse for stray. dogs his
been established in New York by Mrs.
Laura NJ. Belts, the widow of a dctec-
tive, who is n member of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails. Three hundred and seventy
three dogs and an equal number OF
sats have been brought to her door
within the past year. They are kept,
some a longer and some q shorter
period, according to circumstances.
If it is q fair-looking dog, and there
is any probability of a master coming
for him, or of his protector finding a
good home for him, the poor brute is
given the last chance for his life. But
if he is sick, mangey Or has any OF he

"Dogs' Almshouse" grown that the
ambulance from the shelter calls at her
house twice q week.
Mrs. Belts home is a modest little
two-story frame house. There she
lives with her widowed mother. The
house is tastefully furnished. But the
basement and the back yard, together
with q large extension on the base.
ment floor are practically given up to
her charges. The cats are always
kept in the extension, that peace may
reign in this strange family. All the
cats and dogs have clean, comfortable
beds.
The dogs have a fine respite before
the society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals takes them away to
be asphyxiated. They get meat and
warm soup and Spratt's dog biscuits, as
much as they want, while they are
Mrs. Belts guests.
