"Why9 do you ask. Well for seven years
Twas wretched sufferer from nervous de-
bllty and rheumatism. My wrists were so
swollen and my fingers so stiff that got no
sleep at night. My hips, backbone and
shoulder blades were so painful if I moved
that would awake screaming with agony,
and small lump of bone or callous grew on
my spine, which was exquisitely painful.
OF course, my heart was badly affected, and
the numerous physicians whom consulted
were all of one mind, viz, that my day s
were numbered, and they could do me no
good.
Il could not leave my bed without help,
and once lay for three weeks in one posi-
ton. l would not have been sorry if death
had ended my sufferiDgs. One day about

cured supply about six weeks ago. had
not got through the first box when I re-
ceived extraordinary relief. Hope returned
and ! continued with the pills, every day
adding to my store of health. My nerves
became tranquil, the rheumatic pains began
to leave me, palpitation of the heart ceased
and my kidneys and liver grew normal.
II can tell you of three persons of Castle

pills (al1 of whom were suffering with
heart dificultyl:-Mrs. L. Smyth, Mr.. John
Purcell and Mr.. Maher, and they will tell
you what Pink Pills did for them, and they

FARM AND GARDEN.
RATloNS FOR SHEEP.
Urn and Oats In Equal Parts Is Stand
OF. TXIufer Feed.

Corn and Oats In Equal Parts Is Stand
ard Winter Feed.
Corn and oats in equal parts makes
,ne of the very best grain rations for
sheep. Corn alone is too heating and
fattening. Moreover, if sheep are fed
exclusively on corn for any consider
ebIe length of time they lose their
wool.
1t costs just so much to keep sheep
of a certain weight right. But if, with
good care in selecting and breeding,
and with good feeding, the sheep can
be made to give eight or nine pounds
of wool instead of four or five the extra
weight of wool will be that much addi-
tional profit When it barely pays to
keep a sheep that shears only foSr or
five pounds. one that shears seven or
eight will give a good per cent. on the
money invested. In addition in nearly
all cases the heavier fleece will be of a
better quality.
While it is always best to feed with
as little waste as possible, 1t IS rarely
good economy to compel the sheep to
eat up the hay in their racks as clean as
with cattle and horses, unless ii is I'M
usually fine. Still, care must be taken
not to feed too much. as sheep are in
c!ined to waste their feed if overfed.
Put considerable waste can be avoided
by having good racks. The Stats should
be wide enough apart to allow the sheep
to put their heads entirely in the racks
and eat or they should be so close as to
only allow them to insert their noses.
If made in this way, however, it IS i'm
portant that they be made slanting, Sc
that the hay will gradually sink down
ard always be within reach of the
sheep.
Every day that the weather will per-
nit the sheep should be turned out in
the morning to get fresh air and water.
At the same time their quarters can be
we'll aired. Sheep do not bear close con-
finement well. Whenever it is possible
the doors of their quarters should be
left open during the day so that they
can run in and out, as suits them. With
the breeding ewes, especially, care
should be taken to have the doors to
their quarters wide, SO as to lessen the
risk of injury in their running in and
out. 1t will still further lessen the risk
IL
open rather than to open and shut with
common hinges.
In extremely cold weather more corn
may be given than when it is milder,
but do not make it an exclusive ration
at any time. Give oats, barley, mill
feed, and other materials to make up a
good variety. Sliced turnips with
wheat bran sprinkled over them makes
good feed for sheep, especially when
grain is given at other meals. The con-
dition of the sheep is the best criterion
as to what the quantity of the ration
should be. One of the most economical
rations is unthreshed oats, run through
a dampener sufficiently to make the
bran stick to the straw. Give them all
that they will eat up clean.-St. Louis
Republic.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Peking ducks are good market fowls
For large, heavy fowls have the roosts
low.
Dampness causes leg weakness in
ducks.
The good layers are active and gener-
ally on the move.
Dry earth is n good material to scat
ter under the roosts.
When a thrifty bird is fully matured
it is easily fattened.
Early Matched, well developed pullets
make good winter layers.
Stale bread, soaked in milk, is a good
feed for young poultry.
Thrifty, vigorous one-year-old hens
make reliable winter layers.
Cleanliness and good feeding are the
secrets of success with poultry.
On the average it will cost one dol
lar to keep laying hen one year.
Leghorns and black Spanish lay eggs
with the whitest shells of any breed.
Soft food is an excellent invigorator
when fed warm ON a cold winter morn
Jag.
In finishing turkeys for market shut
them up and feed them literally for a
few days.
There is a good profit in keeping the
hen laying in the winter, even though it
takes little extra work to doit.
Oil meal, sunfiower seed, hemp seed
and buckwheat can all be used to good
adva1 tage in feeding fowls intended for
exhibition.
ScaId and allow them to stand over
night in a place where they will not
freeze; this is one of the best ways of
feeding oats to poultry.
1t is natural for some breeds of poul-
try to moult lighter each year, and
hence what are often taken for defects
are only natural to the breed.-St. Louis
Renublic.

SAVE THE BEESWAx.
Quite y Pretty Penny Can BE Earned b.
a Little Timely Care.

&u4Se y FreCtY PENNY Tan BE Earned D.
a Little Timely Care.
If care is taken TO look out for all
scraps of wax. cappings and pieces of
combs that for any reason are rejected
it Will make a pretty piece of wax in the
course of the year. If a solar wax ex-
tractor is used of course it can only be
used when the sun is shining and the
weather warm, making it impossible to
render any wax except in not weather.
But there may be more leisure for it
now, and on one account cold weather
IS desirable. In melting up old black
combs the cocoonS in them absorb
large amount of wax which is lost To
prevent such absorption soak the combs
thoroughly IN water, so that the cocoons
already filled with water can take up no
wax. But you'll find a hard matter to
soak the combs full of water unless they
are broken up fine, and if the combs are
not made brittle with cold it will be
impossible to break them up. So it will
be seen that cold weather is to an ex-
tent needed if you want to melt up old
combs. After the combs are broken up
fine they may be saved till hot weather
by the solar extractor, or they may be
melted up at once, of course after
soaking.
One good way to melt combs in win
ter is easily accomplished with only the
ordinary appliances to hand in every
household. Take an old dripping pan
of course an entirely new one will do as
well-split open one corner clear to the
bottom, and you have one of the best
wax eXtractors. Lay in the material
from which the wax is to be extracted
and put the pan in the oven of the cook
stove with the door left open. and the
split corner of the pan projecting out.
Put something under the inside of the
pan, so as to raise it up, then as the wax
melts it will run out of the split corner
of the pan. To catch the dropping wax
set any vessel convenient, and it may be
well to have in this vessel little water,
SO the wax will not stick to the bottom.

ASSERTING HER DIGNITY.
The StaIwart Conduct OF a Courageous
Young WomAa.


Young WOmA0.
1t did not take place in the city of
Washington. because no man in Wash
ington leaves lady alone while he goes
out between the acts at a theater-un-
less il be his wife, and, of course, that
doesn't count.
But it did occur, and the site of its
occurrence is not west of the Allie
ghanies, where, according to some east
ern thinkers, all the peculiar occur
rences occur
The man in the case was perhaps 30,
the girl -. and the tneater was one in
which the melOdraIna has its home.
The girl was pretty and there was that
kind of 4 jaw hedging the lower part
of her rosy cheeks that ought to have
been a hint to the young man. The
young man was very fair sample of
the average chap who makes $l.2GO to
81 500 a year.
Between them and the aisle sat big
man of 50 with his wife and two daugh
tiers, and the big man had a voice bigger
than he was. When the curtain went
down on the first act there was slight
scrap between the couple, which ended
III the young man going out between
the first and second acts, because the
wait was short and he hadn't time to
argue. The girls cheeks were redder
than before when the curtain went up,
and the set of her jaw was firmer.
At the next fall of the curtain there
was a slight scrap again, which ended
this time in the young man dragging
himself over four people and leaving
the girl to sit alone until he was ready
to come back to her.
Two minutes later the girl dragged
herself after him. over the same four
people, but she stopped in the aisle long
enough TO say something to the big man
with the two daughters. Then she dis
appeared.
1t was long wait, and just as the
curtain started up the young man hur-
ried down the aisle, and was about to
drag himself over four people when the
big man called his attention to the
vacancy which had occurred during his
absence.
The young mans jaw dropped, and he
actually grew red in the face.
The big man handed him a ring with
a bright little diamond glistening in it.
'She gave me that and told me to give
1t to YOU" he said, with menace in his
tone, as he looked over at his own girls,
land she said if you ever came to her
house again or spoke to her her father
would thrash you as you deserved"
The young man was paralyzed.
"And 1 want to say" added the big
party, "that if the old man amt able to
do it, he can call on me-"
Then he let the young man go, and
the way he went was a caution to fly
ing machine.
1t was a clear case of ships that pass
in the night, but with just little more
interesting cargoes than usual.-Wash-
ington Star.
