THE REVIVIFYING EFFECTS OF A PROPER
NERVE FOOD DEMONSTRATED.
From the Era, Bradford, Pa.

the pain in her head had ceased and she was
stronger than at any time previous to her ILL
ness.
Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was
complete and left her home for a visit to rea-
tves in the grape country near Dunkirk n.
Y. She stopped taking the medicine and by
over-exertion brought the ailment back again.
AS soon as the returning symptoms were felt,
Miss Watrous secured another box of pills and
the illness was soon driven away. She is now
in better physical condition than she has been
for years and declares that she owes her life to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watrous we're interviewed by
a reporter at their home on Clarion St. Goth
are loud in their praises of Pink Pills. My
daughters life was saved by the medicine,
said Mrs Watrous "Her condition al
most hopeless when she commenced taking
them, but now she is strong and iieaithy as
any one could be [ cannot recommend the
medicine too highly

Several months ago, Miss Cora Watrous,
the sixteen-ear old daughter of Mr. l. c. Wa
trous, locomotive fireman, of 81 Clarion ST.,
Bradford, Penna., was seized with nervous
disorder which threatened to end her life. The
first symptom of the ailment was loss of ap
petite. For some little time Miss Watrous had
no desire to eat and complained of feeling of
extreme lassitude. This was followed by Sc
we're pains in the head. For three weeks the
young lady was nearly crazed with terrible
headache and nothing could be procured to
give her relief
Finally after trying numerous remedies, a
physician called and began treating the
patient. He said the trouble was caused by
impoverished blood, but after several weeks of
his treatment the young lady's condition had
not improved and the parents decided to pro-
cure the services of another physician. In the
meantime Miss Watrous' nervousness had in
creased, the pains in her head had grown
more severe and the sufferers parents had al
most given up hope of her recovery.
1t was at this time that Mr. Watrous heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
mended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them a trial. A box of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there a marked improvement in the girls
used, the young lady's appetite had returned,

olive or rufous markings. 1t deposits
it's eggs among the silks of the young
ears. The larvae soon hatch and eat
through the husk to the succulent
kernels beneath, which they devour
greedily for several weeks, gnawing
irregular channels along the cob.
When full grown, they are an inch
and half long. They now leave the
ear and, entering the soil a few inch
es, form loose cocoons of silk with
particles of soil intermixed, within
which they change to chestnut brown
pupae, emerging about a fortnight
later as moths"
This insect though thus damaging
to the corn crop is not of the weevil
sort that figures in the grain after it
is harvested. There is, however, a moth
that does this And it is also a very
bad one
To science this is known as Gelechia
cerealella. 1T is small moth, and is
known as the fly moth. In the adult
state it is ''brownish-yellow or buff
colored, with a satiny luster, and is
about one-fourth of an inch long, with
wing expansion of about one-half
inch" 1t is supposed that this moth
was introduced from France. 1t is an
insect that belongs to the mill Or gran
airy, though sometimes it deposits it's
eggs in the field. The eggs are laid
in patch on the top of the grain and
hatch in from five to seven days."
Usually there are but two broods
year, "but in stored grain in warm
buildings there are more. The eggs
of the first brood are deposited on the
grain in May or June. The larva bur-
row into the grain and continues to
feed upon the interior for about TWEEN
ty-one days, when it is full-grown.
It then eats a hole outward, leaving
only a thin film on the outside of the
grain, so that it may readily escape
when transformed into the moth,
which occurs in August. The larvae
of the second brood remain in the lar
val stage during the winter and the

Feeding for Beef.

Bulletin 80 of the Mississippi expert
ment station gives some results OF
feeding for beef which are of value
to Southern farmers. Four kinds OF
hay were used, shredded corn fodder
crabgrass, peavine and red clover
The red clover was the one upon
which the best gains were made, and
this was followed very closely by the
peavines, while the shredded corn was
was made up in part, at least, by its
small cost. For a grain feed, 51s
pounds of cotton seed meal per day
gave the best results, giving better
gain than 71a pounds. "Jack Beam
meal was of almost no value, as it
was not relished by the cattle, and
even after they were taught to eat it
the gains were very small. Copies OF
the bulletin can be had free by writ
ing to the director of the station, Ag-
ricultural College, Miss.
Small farms near the cities can uSu-
ally be put to better use than growing
stock as the main business, but the
fruit grower or market gardener will
be surprised to see how much stock
he can run in as side issue if he
really gives it his attention. The

riment, consuming much which would
otherwise go to waste, and providing
much to enrich the soil from which
SO much has been taken.
The fat hog and the milk cow are
the two great factors for converting
the grain, grass and root crops into
a condensed merchantable product.
1t is a happy coincidence that while
our stock depends upon such a COM
bination of food stuffs the lands are
kept in a better state of fertility by
having produced this variety in rota-
ton.
The business of stock feeding has
never yet been overdone. Home pro-
duction of food and the feeding of it
to good stock is a remunerative
branch of agriculture, and one who
follows it steadily and intelligently
rarely has reason to complain that his
calling does not pay.
Many farmers get what stock is
easiest to get, and keep what they
have because they have it, neither be-
ing good reason. If a merchant
makes mistake he gets rid of his
Improbable wares, for he cannot
stand the loss both on them and what
he might have sold in their place.
On the farm there is room and feed
for only certain amount of stock

be reached by the salt, and if the corn
was shucked, then when the weevil
ate his way out of the grain in which
he grew the salt might run him out
before he could enter another grain,
but l have my doubts about that.

corn in which he can see the weevil
but can see no hole by which it enter

before they had either legs or wings,
and they looked just like young
wasp before the wasp grows legs or
wings. If he will take an ear of corn
in which he can see no weevil and put
it in something that weevil cannot
get into, [ think he will find that the
weevil will make his appearance soon
er or later.
zone needs to find some way to kill
the weevil before he eats his way out
of the grain if it is sought to save the
Ill, L
freezing it. Suppose the gentleman
takes a bushel or two to a cold stor-
age house or an ice factory and see if
it will not work. [ have noticed that
the colder the winter and the longer
the corn is exposed to the cold the
less the weevil damages it. No doubt
the gentleman has seen worms inside
of peach stones when he could see no
hole through which they could have
entered. Well the weevil gets into the
corn exactly the same way"
Two distinct insects are often con-
founded in discussions regarding in
sects that depredate on the ears and
grain of corn. There is the corn worm
or bollworm and then there is the
grain or corn weevil. 1t is always
very important to be sure of the in
sect to be considered. In addition to
the two distinct kinds of insects indl-
Gated as the most troublesome to the
ear and grain of corn and which are
of the moth class, Their is also wee
vii known as the.German weevil. This
is a species of beetle. Scientifically it
is Calandria granaria. The stored
grain infested with it is successfully
treated for it's destruction. DR.. Riley,
the famous entomologist, tells how to
nroceed The grain is placed in bar
rels. GA ball of tow is tied to stick
of such length that it can reach the
middle of the vessel holding the grain.
The tow receives the bisulphide of car
bon. which is the best means of de-
stroying this pest, like a sponge.
When necessary, the stick may be
withdrawn and the charge-one ounce
to 100 pounds of grain-may be re-
moved. The action of bisulphide of
carbon lasts, in ordinary cases, six
weeks. after which a fresh charge is
required The bisulphide of carbon
does no harm to the grain as regards
it's color, smell or cooking properties,
and the terminating power OF most
seeds is not appreciably affected, pro-
vided that not too much is used nor
it's action continued for too long pc

A resolution resubmitting
the prohibi,ary article in the
State constitution to a vote of
the people again, is more than
likely to bob up in the legisla-
ture setting in. Bismarck,
this winter. If the subject is
brought up at all, without
doubt the resubmission resolu-
ton will pass, also, wi,hout
e''oubt a high license law would
row prevail with the people.
Prohibition is a failure rs the
law stands and nobody recog-
nizes this fact more than the
temperance people themselves
A high license law with proper
safeguards, modelled something
after The Iowa law will even
tually lie the outcome Of this
liquor agitation in North d.
kota. During. a recent journey
through northern Iowa, the
writer of this article took. es-
pecial pains Of inquiry among
intelligent people concerning
the workings Of their new
high license as against their
discarded prohibition law. In
nearly every case the answer
was that the high licesne law
worked a greater change for
the better, and even the pro-
hibitionists were 10th to return
to the irresponsible doggery
system bred in prohibition law
infractions. Iowa is preemin-
emily an agricultural State, and
with few big towns within its
borders-in fact the pursuits
and conditions Of the people
there. are much akin to those
of North Dakota. The Iowa
high license law is a stringent
one and the saloon keeper held
rigidly responsible for his acts.
Give resubmission a chance.
1t may better the prohibition
situation as we find it; certainly
will not not worse It.
