Mr. James Perdue, an old soldier residing
at Monroe, Mich, was severely afflicted
with rheumatism but received prompt relief
from pain by using Chamberlain Pain Balm.
He says "At times my back would ache So
badly that could hardly raise up. If had
not gotten relief l would not be here to write
these few lines. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
has done me a great deal of good and 1 feel
very thankful for it." For sale by Gruhler

ANTI-BUITERINE OIL

facturc In the state.


Springfield, his, June 16.-The anti
butterine bill, which prohibits the col
oring Of bu,terine or oleomargariue for
the purposes of the market, has been
signed by the governor. The bill was
fought through the legislature by the
Elgin dairymen, and was bitterly op-
posed by butterine makers all over the
country.
As result of the signing of the bill,
the manufacture Of butterine in Illi-
nois will practically cease July 1. -Four
firms are engaged in the business in
Chicago, and 3O.000000 pounds of the
imitation butter is turned out every
year, on which an internal revenue tax
of cents a pound, or $G0O,OOO, is paid.

BURNING sTUBBLE BEFORE FLOWING.

The long stubble which is usually
turned under the furrow in blowing
for winter wheat is only an injury to
the crop. The stubble has almost no
manurial value, and the little it has is
potash, which is saved by burning it
or the ground. This also disposes Of
many of the small weeds which are so
charred that their further growth is
stopped. The effect of dry stubble
plowed under after midsummer is to
keep the soil too light all winter. OF
course it fills with water, and the grain
sown in the fall has a pretty good
chance to be winter killed. Besides,
such stubble plowed under makes the
soil too dry ell the fall for the grain
to make the right kind of growth.
The ash of the straw on The contrary,
attracts moisture, and if the land is
plowed after burning stubble it will be
moister than if there had been no
stubble to burn. There is no advan.
tage in burning straw on land that is
not to be plowed. The straw helps to
hold snow evenly over the grass and
clover seeding, and it is usually beaten
down to the ground before spring, SO
that it rots and is out OF the way be-
fore clover or grass cutting time

ally the remarkable tonic and curative effects
which Dr.. Williams Pink Pills had shown,
particularly In cases Of nervous weakness and
general debility, numerous instances of its
efficacy In this class having been noted, espe-
cially in the vicinity OF Boston.
Atypical case was readily found in the
experience OF Mrs. Mary A. Conway, living
on Erie street, Dorcester, Mass, who had
been, according to her own testimony, suffer-
Ing for a long time with physicaland nervous
weakness, accompanied by palpilation Of the
heart and %irregularity of functions.
ut Is true,' she said, ''that l have met
with q remarkable restoration through the
use OF DR.. WIllisms' Pink Pills. For ONE
time l was completely run down. n the
care of a family was a great strain upon me.
Ny lips were white and my heart palpitated
30 severely that I could not go up aud dow
stairs without great distress. My digestion,
too. was weak, and I can truly saythat I was
suffering from a genera! lack of vitality.

agreeably surprised to find that they were

the prototypes Of many others.

PROFITABLE PIGS.

Knowing that many a fine litter OF
pigs is ruined by careless management
Of the feeder, l take this opportunity
to call attention to a few important
facts. First, it is necessary to keep the
sows in good thrift before the pigs
come. This insures good, stout,
healthy pigs to begin with. Many are
afraid they will get the SOW too fat.
There is little danger of this, although
1t is best to feed her milk, bran, shorts
and the like, rather than too much
corn. Plenty Of good bone and flesh
forming food is what is needed, al
ways allowing her to have plenty Of e1-
ercise in open field.
When the pigs are farrowed feed the
cow sparingly Of such food as milk,
bran, shorts, ETC., for the first four or
five days, then gradually increase the
feed until you give her all she can and
will eat clean three times per day. If
the SOW has a large litter they will get
sufficient milk to keep them doing their
best. Aft n they are about ten days old
place a trough where the pigs can run
through the fence and eat by them
selves. Feed them sweet milk at first,
with a little wheat shorts in it. A little
later on, feed also a little corn, butprin-
cipally feed them on bone and muscle
forming food. Give them all they will
eat.
When they are six weeks old decrease
the feed Of the SOW gradually, so her
milk flow will gradually decrease.
When the pigs are eight weeks old
wean them off. Give them all they
will eat and allow them plenty Of
fresh clover grass If possible and they
will make hogs that you will never be
ashamed to place on any market, and
they will pay you for doing your work
well. 1t don't pay to halfway do any
thing. If anything will pay at all it
will pay to do it we'll. Whatsoever
your hand findeth to do, do 1t with
your might, with all the care and judy
ment you can possibly bestow.-Ohio

4 o 70 FLOOR.

There is considerable difference OF
opinion concerning the matter OF

tend that the floor should be of wood,
and others that the best floor is the

erly made. Thee land on which the

earthen floor hakss-c-,sn advantages
owe one of wood. The top soil should
be taken out and clay or sand filed in
until the surface is six inches above
the surrounding level, and this should
be firmly packed by beating it down
with a heavy weight.
Such a floor is better for the fowls
because more natural for them. When
it becomes foul it can be easily re-
ne we'd by taking off the top of it and
putting in more clay Or sand. Lice
cannot find q refuge in an earthen
floor, as the dust is fatal to them;

The wide ribbon sash is to be worn
generally again and our modistes have
arranged that they shall be a part OF
the street costumes no less than for
evening gowns. A number OF new
features, however, will be introduced.
.Hand.painted sashes and sashes with
fringed ends will bs seen, also those
having the ends finished with an edg.
ing of feathers. Many debntantes will
wear with their party gowns sashes OF
fimy tulle. These sashes, when tied
in q big butterfly bow at the back.
will give a delightfully."- airy touch to
d costume. One way OF wearing the
sash will be. to have it form part OF the
bodice, being tied in q bow on the
left shoulder. Another 9 way is to
let it start from the back and be
drawn over the corsege, much like a
yery short bolero. Right in the front
IL lies in q bow, with full loops and
long ends. When the sash is worn
around the waist it is very broad in
