Pekin Ducks and Water.

The Pekin duck is very valuable
variety, but it has the reputation of not
being hardy. If left to swim all they
win in cold weather, the fowls will
stiffen and become helpless. We long
ago learned that this variety needed
less water than any other, and will do
well If only occasionally on warm days
allowed sufficient water to bathe and
wash themselves in. If kept from
water the Pekin duck is valuab BILE

The Patient Had Suffered for Oyel
Thirty Years and Now Enjoys
Perfect Health.
From the Industrial News. Jackson, Mich
The Industrial News, ever ON the
alert to bring its readers all items of in
terest, learned of the entire cure of one
of jackson county's prominent citizens
Mr.. Lorenzo Neeley, of Liberty town.
ship, who had suffered with the twangs
and pangs of rheumatism for oyel
thirty years.
In order to give authentic facts, an
Industrial News representative inter
viewed Mr.. Neeley and elected the
following facts:
Mr.. Lorenzo Neeley is 56 years oi
age, and actively engaged in farming.
When II years old by an unfortunate
accident he hurt his shoulder, and a
few years after that he commenced to
have rheumatic pains in his shoulders.
This would not always trouble him, but
on taking slight cold or the least
strain. or sometimes without any ap-
parent cause the trouble would start
again and he would suffer the most ex-
cruciating pains.
For over thirty years he has thus
suffered, and for the last decade has
suffered continually SO that he was
unable to do any work. To this the
frequent occurrences of dizzy spells was
lately added, making him almost a
helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but with
out getting any help, and has tried sew.
eral specific rheumatic cures, but all
without any appreciable relief. About
one year and six months ago he read in
the Jackson Industrial News of a case
somewhat similar to his~which was
cured by the use of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and he concluded
to try this remedy.
After the first box he felt somewhat
better, and after taking three boxes the
pains entirely disappeared and the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over
a year been entirely free from all his
former trouble ad enjoys better health
than he has had since his boyhood.
Mr.. Neeley is loud in his praises of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, and will gladly corroborate the
above statements. His postoffice ad-
dress is Lorenzo Neeley, Horton, Jack
son county, Michigan.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People contain, in condensed form, all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are also
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and
all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of~health
to pale, and sallow cheeks. In men
they effect radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or
excesses of whatever nature. Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at 80 cents box or six boxes for
50. so, and may be had of all druggists,

subsoiling for Orchards.

In setting out trees of any kind it is
best not merely to make wide, deep
hole, but to thoroughly subsoil all the
land that the tree roots are expected to
occupy. If this is done there will be
much less injury from dry weather the
first summer. as the subsoiled earth
makes the best reservoir for water in
time of need. This subsoiling is I'M
portant for land to be planted with
nursery stock, and is commonly prac-
ticed by the most successful growers.

mineral Manures TOR spring Irope
To be effective mineral manures for
spring and summer crops must be ap
piled early. They need some of the
spring rains to dissolve the fertilizer
SO that the plant roots can make use
of it. Besides, as weather and soil be
come warm and dry there is less need
of the. fertilizer, as the soil itself re-
leases more of it's own fertility under
such conditions.

Shorthorn CARROTS.

The large, coarse varieties of carrots
most used for stock feeding are not so
nutritious as is the shorthorn, which
grows most of it's bulk near the surface
or slightly above it. AS the shorthorn
carrot can grow more thickly in the
row, it is nearly as productive as the
deeper setting varieties, and it Is also
more easily harvested. Five to six
hundred bushels Of the shorthorn car
rot may be grown per acre. This is a
paying crop at the usual price Of this
root.

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts 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 a 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 skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Bed and gives most general satisfaction.

REBELLIOUS CONVICTS.
No New Developments in the Situa-
tion at San Quentin.

SAN QUENTIN, May 2S.-There are
no new developments in the situation at
the State Prison, as neither the author
tiles nor the striking convicts were in a
position to make any further demon
stration one way or the other.
In view of the determined attitude as
sumed by the convicts yesterday, War
den Hale concluded it would be unwise
to try the experiment of again lining
the men up in the jute mill and ascer-
tanning whether or not they We're will
ing to resume their labors.
In order, therefore, to convince the
strikers that no further nonsense would
be tolerated, that official will leave the
400 placed in solitary confinement on
Thursday afternoon in their cells un-
til Monday. by which time he confident
ly expects that they will have reached
the conclusion that the officials and not
the convicts are running the prison.
Should they not realize their errors in
the meantime, harsher methods will
probably be taken to bring them to a
proper sense of their positions in the
premises, but what these are the Off
cials decline to predict
Warden Hale resolver to impress
upon the fractious wards, once and for
ALL that he will not be bluffed. and his
next move will probably convey that
fact to the discontented jute millers.

SEARLES' TRIAL.
Strong Impression That the Case VIII
be Thrown Out of Court.

WASHINGTON, May 2S-The trial
of John +. SearleS, Secretary OF the
American Sugar Refining Company, to-
day followed that of President have
meyer, who was acquitted yesterday
by order of Judge Bradley. The Gov
eminent presented it's case very brief
ly, whereupon the defense, following
the tactics pursued in the Havemeyer
case, moved that the Judge order an
acquittal for three reasons, viz: That
the questions Mr.. Searles refused to
answer We're irrelevant to the inquiry;
that they were Individual, not commit
tee questions, and that even if they
were authorized by the Senate resolu
ton, the Senate did not possesses ju-
risdiction The motion was argued at
length by the counsel on both sides.
after which the court adjourned until
Tuesday, when Judge Bradley will de-
liver the ruling.
A very strong impression exists that
the Judge will sustain the motion, and
throw the case out of court.
The Indictment recited that by a res
olution of the Senate a committee was
appointed to investigate certain charges
made by the press concerning the elec
ton of 1892. The committee sum-
moned Secretary Searles. He was ask
ed by the committee: What amount
was expended by your company in the
campaign of 1922
Il decline to answer the question, 3"
said Mr.. Searles, giving as his reason
for declining to answer that he did not
believe it was within the province of
the committee to ask such a question.
The committee then asked: What
sum did you (meaning the American
Sugar Refining Company contribute
to the Democratic campaign fund in
the State of New York in 1892 that was
used for the purpose of conducting the
campaign in that State, at which time
Cleveland and Harrison We're candi-
dates for President of the United
States"
Il decline to answer that question"
was Mr. Searles' reply, and for the
same reason as given in the declina-
ton to answer the first question
The course followed by the District
Attorney in the Havemeyer case was
repeated in the Searles case, the same
documents being introduced to Law the
basis of the trial Senator Gray was
the first and only witness called and
he testified as to the facts in the Sem
ate investigation. On cross -examna-
ton he stated that he did not believe
the question asked by Senator Allen
was pertinent, taken in connection with
the question Mr.. Searles had answer
ed He had testified that money was
contributed for national political pur-
poses and none with the purposes of
affecting legislation.
