When Mr.. Graham, writing January
Is, 1897, said: 81 have used Paine's
celery compound to my benefit, and !
have no doubt that any person under
going great physical and mental strain
would find it of great service. For
students especially it ought to be of
great value" When So prominent a
student of bodily health, who has no
equal, unless, perhaps, one mentions
DR.. Sargent of Harvard, with whose
methods Mr.. Graham became we'll ac-
quainted at Harvard-when Mr.. Gra-
ham says bluntly that after his expert
ence he believes others would find
Paine's celery copmound of great serv-
ice, what man or woman out of perfect
health can afford to neglect his we'll
considered and expert advicel
There is no doubt that Paine's celery
compound cleans the blood of eczema,
salt rheum and such humors, not only
in the spring, that is SO favorable
time, but at any time during the year,
so thoroughly that nothing further is
ever heard of them.
Paine's celery compound has been
tested, tried, scrutinized and heartily
approved by so many impartial physi-
clans and men and women whose word
in any matter would not be questioned
for moment, that one must be stub
born-minded indeed who prefers to
NOPE around half sick instead of verify
ing these positive, straightforward
statements

PauItrx Notes.

Cleanliness is the best disinfectant.
Exercise is good medicine and cheap.
If you desire strong eggs for early
incubation you should mate up your
hens at once.
In saving the droppings, mix them
with dry earth before they have
chance to freeze.
Glover, by displacing grain, supplies
the hens with substances which are
lacking in grain, and also bulky food
for heating.
Don't forget to keep the grit-box well
filled. This is especially important
when the ground is frozen hard, or COW
cred with snow.
Boiling Of brine, as strong as it can
be made, is an effective remedy for
white mites. Apply to the roosts and
dropping boards with whitewash
brush.
Be always on the watch against
draughts in the roosting house. A cold
at this time of the year is very apt to
run into roup aud ruin your flock.
He who would keep poultry success
fully in this northern country, must
know that the house must be warm and
free from draughts; it is the warmth
which brings the eggs.
Be sure that the water fountains are
not allowed to freeze up. The best
thing to do is to turn out the water as
soon as all the fowls have had good
drink. They should be watered at
least twice day, If you wish full
egg basket.

John Graham is the foremost man in
American athletics.
1t was he who managed the success
full team from this country that attract
ed worldwide attention in the recent
Olympic games at Athens.
Formerly trainer for Columbia col
lege, then for Princeton and finally for
Harvard university, Mr.. Graham had
much to do with raising the standard
of collegiate sports. A small army of
gentlemen have been guided by him
since he left Harvard and took his pres
ent position, superintendent of the
famous gymnasium of the Boston ath-
letic association.
Three of his proteges, White, Brewer
and Mccarthy, have just won the New
England championship at the mile,
quater-mile and fve-mile run. He has
trained Weeks of Brown university,
one of the best college sprinters in the
country.
Many another student of what makes
men and women strong has used and
has recommended Paine's celery COM
pound as the best known remedy for
those who are weak and dispirited, the
overworked and enfeebled persons who
are most concerned in the general
awakening of interest in outdoor exer-
else and indoor attention to the proper
rules of health.
It was the ablest professor of medi-
cine and surgery in any college, that
giant among men, Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, M. D LII. D., of Dartmouth

college, who after years Of patient in
vestigation and study, assisted by all
that was best in the progress of medi-
cal science at home and abroad, first
discovered the wonderful formula of
Paine's celery compound.
There was no doubt of the interest
that would be awakened at once by the
announcement of any discovery by Prof.
Phelps. The formula from the first
was furnished to the best physicians,
and forthwith this remarkable Paine's
celery compound was personally used
and professionally prescribed by them.
The result of the closest investigation
might have been expected. It soon re-
quired considerable industry to pro-
duce the remedy, and rapidly but
steadily, without ceasing, the demand
for Paine's celery compound has in
creased, until today there is no other
remedy that in comparison begins to
hold half the public attention that it
holds.
In untold number of cases where
every other remedy has been tried and
failed, Paine's celery compound has at
tanned the wished-for results, making
the weak strong, purifying the blood,
rebuilding the wornout nervous tissue,
curing chronic sickness, proving a
never-failing and permanent relief for
rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney diseases
and disorders of the liver, all due to the
impairment of the PERSONS nervous
system, the consequent impoverishment
of the blood and the breaking down in

Art In Agriculture.

Art in agriculture is coming to be
more and more noticeable every day.
With the advent of new methods, i'm
proved implements and a wider knowl-
edge of the field, the agriculturist Is ris-
ing higher and higher in the field of
useful or ornamental art as the years
go by. We may say that sharp compe-
tition is no small factor in this progress
siye movement, says the American Stu
dent. Take, for example, the manner In
which certain products are prepared
for the open market. The improvement
in the condition of certai in dairy products
and fruit on the market in the last few
years is truly wonderful. The reason,
of course, Is that people always buy
that article which is put up in the most
tasty and attractive style, and are will
ing to pay little more for it. With
this change comes a more wholesome
effect upon the article itself, and dis
ease is much less disseminated through
food at the present time than formerly.
Greater precautions are taken now
than ever before In preventing the
spread of contagious diseases in this
manner, and, with the increase In the

Hints to Fruit Growers.

Il
BlackberrieS are a profitable fruit
and may be grown with little labor on
almost every farm.
Never crowd the orchard. Trees
should have room to grow; they need
plenty of ground and free sun.
In setting out an orchard confine
yourself to a few, well selected varie-
ties of each fruit; as you become ex-
perienced you can add new ones.
1t pays to set out shade trees around
the orchard to protect the trees from
storms; they also assist greatly in
beautifying the premises.
1t is poor policy to depend on a single
crop, failure is apt to come, and it Is
most disastrous to the man who has
placed all his hopes on one crop.
Don't imagine that to have a profit
able orchard all you have to do Is to
buy trees. plant them and afterwards
allow them to take their own chances.
There are two dangerous extremes in
the selection of varieties for the or
chard. The one is the liability of Sc
lecting too few. and the other too
many. You can strike the medium If
you observe carefully the success of
other people.

To Prevent Milk Fever.

After having twenty-cow dairy for
the past twenty years, and having
them come fresh at all times in the
year, a writer in the Country Gentle
man says he has never had case of
milk fever in summer, and only two in
cold weather, and the reason Is simply
exercise" He is strong advocate of
exercise for a dairy COW, although he
would not give it in the same manner
that he would do a trotting horse.
While a COW may live and keep fat by
being tied by the neck, from fall till
spring, as pig will being confined in
a pen, yet this is not the proper thing
to do.-Country Gentleman.

AMERICAN JOCKEYS.
They Forced English Horsemen
Adopt Their System.

They Forced English HOrsemen to
Adopt Their System.
When American jockeys first invaded
England, both they and their methods
were the laughing stock Of the old
world.
The idea of the saddle being placed
right on the horses withers, with the
stirrups SO short that the Jockeys knees
were almost up to his chin, seemed to
the Englishmen such a departure from
the general conception of the way
jockey should ride that it was simply
ridiculous. Another system which the
majority of Englishmen have not even
yet got used to is the American idea
of getting away first and winning the
races in the first stages, rather than to
gallop for three-quarters of the dis
tance and sprint the balance,
Two hundred years of sticking to old
methods has not made it easy for the
Englishmen to accept new ideas, but
the success made by Jockey Reiff
abroad on Duke & Wishard's horses
has forced even the most egotistical
of the Englishmen to admit that there
is something good In the new styles
and methods, despite the fact that they
are radical departures from old and
accepted ideas. This is made manifest
when such decidedly and radically
English sporting paper as the London
Sportsman publishes the following:
"The repeated success of Mr.. Wish
ards stable formed quite feature OF
the Newmarket first meeting, and
those who have been most set against
Reiff's style of riding-and freely ad-
NIT to having been one of them-were
compelled to admit that there was
something in his methods. think few
of us would ever become reconciled to
seeing the saddle placed on a horses
withers, and it does not seem possible
that a jockey in that position and rid
ing so short that his knees are nearly in
his mouth can have much control over
his mount.
"On the other hand, Reiff very speed
lily demonstrated that no one could
teach him anything in the art of get
ting away, and one or two of our lead,
ing professionals would do well to take
a leaf out of his book and try to win
an occasional race in the early part
of it, instead of depending entirely up
on that 'one rum at the finish, which
SO frequently just fails in It's object and
lands them in second or third place."
1t is well within the possibilities that
next season may see some of the chief
English stables departing from old ira
ditions and embracing the advanced
ideas transplanted from America.

Grinding Corn on the Cob.

The cob possesses some nutrition,
though when fed whole it is hard to
digest. But if ground fine with the
corn on it the mixture makes a feed on
which cattle will thrive better than on
corn meal not thus distended in bulk
1t is we'll known to stock feeders that
the chief difficulty with them is 'get-
ting off their feed" if even a slight ex-
cess of food is given. In carefully con-
Quoted experiments it was found that
more corn could be eaten without in
jury when ground with the cob than if
shelied and ground separately. So
whether the corn cob contributed to
the result directly or did not, there can
be no question that at least for fatten-
ing stock there is an advantage in
grinding them together over that of
feeding the corn separately.

Grass.


For parks and orchards, and upon
dry soils. orchard grass is one of our
most profitable grasses, says the Balti-
more American. The soil must be made
fertile, deep and mellow. The roots
run down long distance into the
ground. 1t therefore requires a deep,
finely pulverized soil. The seed is very
light, feeling like chaff, and weighing
but fifteen pounds to the bushel. 1t
usually sells for $175 to $1.s0 per BUSH
ell. Two bushels of fresh seed should
be sown to the acre, and one peck Of
clover seed. These seeds should be
sown over the soiling rye ground early
in March, so as to get fully rooted be-
fore hot weather. The rye will be fit
to cut by the middle of April, and by
the 10th of May, being all cut off, the
ground should be heavily rolled, and
dressed with twenty bushels of lime
to the acre. By the middle of July a
half crop of excellent grass can be cut,
and by the middle of September an
other crop. Manure the ground in the
fall, and if it is wanted for hay, do not
pasture the ground. This grass de-
lights in a deep, rich, clay loan; upon
poor, thin, sandy or gravelly soils, it
would prove failure. The seeding
should be done early in the season,
and thirty pounds, or two bushels, of
seed should be sown to the acre. For
a pasture grass it is very valuable,
as, when once set, 1t will continue to
spring up and grow after every graz
ing. For pasture, sow it on deep, we'll
drained, moist land. The ground must
be heavily dressed with rich, finely rot
ted manure Any one carefully follow
ing these directions will find that it is
a most valuable grass, either for feed
ing at the barn or for pasture. On
poorly prepared, thin soils, using but
little seed, it will not give satisfaction.
With slipshod methods the grass would
prove a failure, and should not be
sown.

If the barn is not ventilated enough
to give the cows a suficiency Of OXy-

up and dead matter soils left in the

make a lodgment, and the cows will

have been in quite number of stables
where the commissioners had applied
the test-in one they had taken four
fifths of the cows where there was no
chance for air to get in, yet the own
ers told me that the officers never said
word to them about ventilation. The
horse and OK seldom have tuberculosis,
as they have a chance to get outdoors
and fill their lungs with fresh air and
get rid of the dead carbon which has
been accommodating in the system.
will stake my reputation that many
herds tested last year will show the
same, or nearly the same, ratio of sus-
pected cases this year, if again subject
ed to the tuberculin test. Ventilation
should be looked after, and when that
is done we shall seldom hear much
about tuberculosis. Farmers should
look well after ventilation and thus
avoid disease. Open your ventilators
