raj precautions dictated by common sense.
When mans stomach and liver get up

be certain that something worse is bound to
follow. if he doesn't look out for himself
Headaches, indigestion, biliousness and
constipation are simply Natures warnings

The sensible thing to do is to innedi-
ateIv fortify the system with DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t vitalizes and
invieorates the entire constitution. 1t helps
the liver to filter out all bilious impurities.
1t gives the digestive and nutritive organs
power to extract nourishment from the food
and turn it into rich, red, healthy blood. II
creates appetite, good digestion, and solid,
muscular strength.
1t is far superior to the mere temporary
stimulus of nalt-extracts. 1t is better than
cod liver oil emulsions because 1t is assirni-

tening, dressing and sorting, as we'll
as in packing them as the trade de-
mands, much better prices would be re-
ceived. Beginners who have succeeded
fairly well in raising flock are often
at sea when it comes to preparing them
for market. Rhode Island turkeys are
famous for their quality. In the best
markets in New York city, Providence,
Newport and Boston they lead those
from other sections. In the same mar
kets they often bring ten or twelve
cents more than those from all other
states except Connecticut. About New

and everything else in the turkey line
at less than seventeen cents. Many
growers are interested TO know the rea-
son. 1t is not their fame in the past,
or because they are scarce, that they
sell for the most; it is on account of
their superior quality. Much of this
high quality is due to the plump COM
pact breeding stock used. and to the
way it is managed also to the care
taken in growing and fattening the
young turkeys. The pains taken in
dressing and preparing them for ship
ment, however, probably does more
than all to give them their high stand
ing. OF course you can not dress a
thin, Hat bodied, long-legged bird so
it will sell with the best; but the
plumpest, best shaped and most attrac-
tive bird in every way, previous to
killing, may be so dressed that it must
be classed with that which is inferior.
Again, the handsomest young turkeys
that are perfectly dressed If packed
along with addressed ones, or with
tough old toms and hens, must be
ciassed with the latter, and go for less
than they are worth. Too many send
nothing but fair to poor" stock to
market. In many cases it is simply
because they do not know how TO pre-
pare it so it will bring all that can be
got for it.

POKER WORK.
How Many Women Are Making Beau


tifui Articles.
Poker work" is an interesting occu-
patton, and many beautiful articles
will be the result of ones labors, says
the Detroit Free Press. The woods
which are the best for cabinet work
treated in this way are the bass wood,
maple and olive wood. The first is
most in use. The burning apparatus
consists of large spirit lamp, holding
benzine, to which is attached a tube
which terminates in a rubber bulb.
Another tube is fastened to the lamp.
1t has platinum point, which is the
instrument corresponding to a poker.
BY COMPRISING the bulb the lighted
benZine is forced through the tube and
the point is kept red hot. In poker
ing leather a lighter pressure is given
to the bulb, so that the point is not
so hot. The design to be executed is
first drawn with pencil on the wood or
leather and afterward burned out. A
beautiful study table has its entire top
burned. In each corner is the head of
some man of letters. The middle con-
tains view OF Westminster Abbey. The
whole has wrought background of
thimble pattern. The brown tinting on
the light wood makes many attractive
effects on cabinets, picture frames or
medallions. Portfolios, book-covers
and card-cases are among the articles
which may be made of pokered leather

The Egg Industry.

Ask any thrifty housewife regarding
the value Of the quantity of poultry and
eggs used in her family, then multiply
that amount by the 100000 families
in the United States alone, and you will
be astonished at the magnitude and
value of the great poultry industry.
While some families may use but a
small amount, many others use a very
large amount Of poultry and fresh eggs
says Oklahoma Farmer. Their use is
a question of advanced civilization ana
knowledge of the hygienic value Of
foods, as shown by the much greater
use of poultry products in large cities
and towns by the most enlightened peO-
pie of the world. Notwithstanding the
enormous quantities of eggs raised in
the United States, the amount is not
large enough for the consumers of
them. In the past three years nearly
100000 dozen eggs have been import
ed, paying a duty of to cents a dozen
for entry. The foregoing fact, and the
more important one that the prices for
choice poultry and eggs are higher now
than ten years ago, shows that the
business is not overdone The value
of the poultry products increased from
$11S,000,000 in 1880 to S14S, GOO in
1895. The demand for fresh eggs and
choice poultry increases faster than
the supply. In European countries
where larger proportions of eggs and
poultry are used than with us, the
supply is furnished not by large farms.
but by the multitude of people who
live near cities and towns. There are
thousands Of suburban families in the
United States who may learn a lesson
from this. Enough strictly fresh eggs
ought to be raised by them for home
use. Those having suburban home
with some land can easily raise a good
ly number of eggs to sell in town each
year and thus add to their income.

Keeping summer Butter.

In reply to an article on the over
production of the dairy industry, a
Minnesota paper says that in 1850 the
United States contained a population
of twenty-three million people, and
there were 6,3S5,094 COWS, and in 1880
with a population in this country of
fifty million souls, there were only
II, 443, 120 COWS, and even in 1896, with
a population of over seventy millions
OF people, the number of cows were
less than fifteen million, which shows
how much faster our population in
creases than are the dairy interests,
besides in 1850 only twenty people out
of every hundred of our population
lived in towns and cities, while now
the figure is twice that, and this fact
largely increases the demand for dairy
products. There is strip of country
extending from the Atlantic ocean to
the Rocky Mountains, within which is
made nearly all we know as dairy
products. 1t takes in the states of
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Nebraska, South Dakota and New
York. Outside of this strip of terri
tory it seems to be impossible to pro-
duce either butter or cheese at profit.

Suppose that your horse has fallen
lame; don't Immediately resort to your
favorite liniment, says writer in
American Horse Owner. 1t is a cardi-
nal rule to first have the shoe removed
and the foot examined. Numberless
mistakes have been made by neglect
ing to observe this rule. The writer
has known many cases of foot lame
ness in which the horse has been
treated for foot lameness in the shout
der, the tendons at back of leg, 1.-The
back sinews,' the pastern, the fetlock,
the coffin joint, in fact, every concelv-
able place but the right one. Pain in
the foot will often cause a sympathetic
swelling in the leg, which may be easily
mistaken for the seat Of trouble. Until
the shoe can be removed. keep the foot
as moist as possible by means OF water
or stopping with clay or COW dung.
This, besides allaying possible infiam-
matory processes, will facilitate exam
nation of the foot by softening of the
horn. A mere cursory examination Of
the hoof when the shoe is removed will
not do. 1t must be thorough exami-
nation by thinning the whole of the
sole. Corns, pricks and bruises of the
sole are usually amenable to treatment
by poultices and lamentations. or
course the smith will, or should. take
the very greatest care when thinning
down the sole, not to cut entirely
through the horn and so let the flesh
out, for this would probably consider
ably complicate matters. and possibly
prove worse than the original trouble.

fective. In Scotland, TO scare the
crows, farmers put up what is there
called a potato 'bogle'-a suit Of OLD
clothes so stuck up in the potato field
as to make the crows believe there is
q man inside them. Thus far Jimmy
has outwitted the thieves, and he now
keeps two or three of these watchmen
in the field with entire satisfaction as
to results. A little sulphur busted
into the old buds might be useful, as
the smell of it would perhaps add to
the effect, Should the wolves get to
recognize the difference between the
sham man and real one, there is still
another resource open to the shepherd.
He can take the place of the scarecrow
for few hours and try a rifle. Suf-
ferers from the wolf should give this
plan trial anyway. One man keeps
stag hounds that do good work. Last
spring few hunters made good money
by tracking the dams to their dens and
digging out the young brood. Some
sheepmen advocate an increase in the
wolf bounty, but 1t would take special
pressure applied to their local repre-
sentati"cs TO work up any movement in
that direction.
