Here is case where the pain inflicted
on a six year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
''When my son, Will, was six years
old, a small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. 1t
gave him a great deal of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try SIS.
(Swift's Specihc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured
The cure was permanent one, for he IS
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"

remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood

Editors Kennebec Journal;
II YOU will allow me little space in
vorr AGRICULTURAL columns l will tell
vo, what little l know to be a fact in
regard to keeping caterpillars and
ofher worms and grubs from our apple
trees. l have small orchard near my
house and my neighbors have the
game adjoining mine. Through all the
caterpillar years for Is years past
these orchards have had but a very
few caterpillar nests in them. Last
year there were but three nests in my
orchard. while | had trees about three
fourths of a mile away that We're COM
n,etely covered with them and others
we're the same. Now the remedy
Eighteen years ago l had a large mar
tin house built and set it in the middle
of nv little orchard on a crotch pole
about Is feet high, the house was large
enough for IA pairs of martins. The
second year every room was taken up
by them and has been every year since.
These birds raise from four to six
Young to a nest These birds arrive
here from the eighteenth to the
twenty-first of April sometimes the
snow would be two feet deep around
the martin house pole. But they come
lust the same and never vary from
that time. They hatch their young
about the middle of June and begin to
av about the middle of July. So you
see in July and part of August l have
from to 70 to IS birds flying among my
trees and my neighbors. These birds
get all their living on the wing never
90 to the ground only to get material
to build their nests. Their whole liv-
ing is on millers and flies, and they are
great feeders. They are on the wing
nearly all the time when it does not
rain, and they are especially busy just
before sunset, when the caterpillar
moths begin their work. These moths
or millers lay their eggs the last Of
July and August just the time when
these birds are in best working condi-
ton and but very few winged insects
escape them. This is the cause of my
not having any caterpillars in my or
chard. so I claim. These birds invari-
ably leave for parts unknown from the
18th to the 22nd of August. They are
great singers in their way, and COM
mence their songs about half past three
in the morning perhaps some would
not like that at first as it would dis
turb their morning repose; then put
them further away in your orchard.
Now believe if every one that has an
orchard would put up from one to five
martin houses among their trees they
would rid them of caterpillars and
many other insects that injure our ap-
pie trees. These houses do. not want
to lie made gaudy but plain, paint
lead color if painted at all, high colors
drive them away for few years.
If any one decides to try this they
must set their poles (Which should be
cedar,) before the ground freezes and
the house must be up before the 2Otn
of April. Some of my neighbors are
going to try it next spring, and I wish
many others would. Why not have the
air full of these beautiful birds about
our homes Give them a home and
they will come.
