The horse has wonderful muscular
power, but will suffer great deal at times
with nervous attacks if not properly
groomed and stabbed. This illustrates that
a great deal of neuralgia is caused by inn
prudence and results from shock from cold
to the nervous organism in parts most ex-
posed to the cold. Hence, neuralgia is so
often an atfiiction of the head, face and
neck, as they are frequently badly protected
against intense cold. The use of warmth
as an antidote is apparent, and the warmth
to the afflicted part impaired by the use of
ST. Jacobs Oil, together with the soothing
influence of the remedy, lull the pain and
quickly restore good healthful condition
of the nerves, curing even the worst cases

straw to Protect from Cold.

Wherever straw is plentiful it is very
easy to save stock from suffering by
extreme cold. Layers of straw sep
arated by something sufficient merely
to keep them apart and inclose an air
space will keep out cold as effectively
as will wall With few poles from
the woods and plenty of straw many a
poor farmer has kept one or two cows
as comfortably stabbed as if he had a
basement barn. But the straw stable
will probably need some repairing even
before the winter is over, and more or
less hay or other feed will be wasted
while it is being carried to the animals
kept in it.

specia1ties for Small Farmers.

The farmer on a few acres cannot
compete in growing the staple grain
crops which, harvested as they are
now by machinery, can only be grown
proftably on large fields. The small
farmer must devote his time, skill and
land to special crops that require the
greatest amount of labor to make sue
cessful. If he does this thoroughly his
limitation as regards land will prove an
advantage, not an injury. 1t is only
by thoroughly mastering some one bus
mess and then sticking to it that men
make money. This is as true of the
farmer as of men engaged in other vo-
cations,

Gladness Comes

MIith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
,6ed ana gives most general satisfaction.

Starting an Orchard.
The ground for an orchard should be
well and deeply cultivated, and free
from weeds, well drained, If the soil
requires it, and moist soils are better
for draining except sandy or light
gravelly soils with light subsoil. Such
land may not require draining, but In
every case it should be well worked and
pulverized and enriched. The work of
preparation must be done during the
summer so as to be ready for fall or
spring planting. Planting in the spring
Is preferred, which will enable the trees
to take firm hold of the earth and to
resist the frost of next winter; but
planting may be done successfully In
the autumn by protecting the trees so
as to prevent the frost from heaving or
misplacing them.
Select young, healthy and vigorous
trees, and from a reliable nurseryman,
and If possible from n soil similar to
that in which you intend to plant your
orchard The different kinds of ap-
pies will depend upon your own choice
and the suitability of soil and climate
L uuflSc tudt lHe seicCiiVh NC maui
from the old, tried and reliable kinds.
The distance apart should not be less
than thirty feet, so as to allow the trees
room to spread their branches and to
form low and spreading head. Close
planting has a tendency to force trees
to run up, and preventing the fruit from
obtaining it's proper color from the sun,
and making it more difficult to gather
the fruit At the distance of thirty feet
apart it will require twenty-nine trees
to the acre. Before planting the tree,
remove all bruised and broken roots by
cutting clean with sharp knife. Lay
out your ground in straight lines, so
that your trees will be in line each way
and at equal distances, thirty feet
apart.-William Gray, in Farmers Re-
view.
