Mrs. John Tansey, of 100 Baker Street,
Detroit, Michigan, is one of those women
who always know just what to do in all
trouble and sickness. One that is a mother
to those in distress. To a reporter she said:
al am the mother of ten children and
have raised eight of them. Several years
ago we had serious time with my daughter,
which began when she was about sixteen
years old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed to gradually waste away
Having never had any consumption in our
families, as we come of good old Irish and
Scotch descent we did not think it was that
disease. Neither did she have hacking
cough, yet she grew thinner and paler each
day. Our doctor called the disease by an
odd name which, as l afterward learned,
meant lack of blood.
1t is impossible to describe the feelings
John and l had we noticed our daughter
slowly passing away from us. As last re-
sort | was induced to try Or. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, made by the DR.. Will
liams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

deraed form all the elements necessary to

Leaves make the most excellent
bedding, and they can be put under
cover by the thousand bushels very
cheaply With little road dust or
land plaster added, they would take
up all the liquid manures, and the
farm would grow proportionately
richer.
Even dry stalks can be made
palatable and nourishing in the silo,
especially if mixed with that which
is green. Add little water while
the pit is being filled and the con-
tents will come out juicy and sweet.
This has been done successfully aud
repeatedly.
Do not let the wood ashes of the
the farm go to waste this Winter.
They are valuable on the garden,
and for corn and wheat IS well, and
the value of liberal application
will be seen for years. By all means
keep them covered that they do not
leach.
While weak solution of copperas
will rid the cabbage plants of worms,
if sprinkled upon them, a solution
of pine tar will be found preferable.
Prepare a quantity in a barrel, and
have but little care as to the pro-
portions, as the water will take up
Just so much of the tar and no more.
The farmer who grows different
kinds of crops and feeds them out
to different kinds of stock will, with
good management, make the most
money. The work is distributed
more evenly throughout the year.
There is less risk of loss and there
is better opportunity for taking ad-
vantage of the market.
When old grass lands are to be

This seems like a big yarn, but
you can prove the truth Of it on
your own farm if you have a pea
patch. Our COWS came in fresh last
year and in February this year;
when the pastures became dry and
the grass tough, the cows failed; un-
til September LIST they were giving
very little milk. About that time,
both last year and this, we tethered
them on the pea patch, when the
flow of milk increased till they gave
as much as when with young calves.
Caution: Don't turn the cow loose
on pea field; neighbor did so and
in few hours his COW had eaten
enough to kill her. Now, friends,
if you don't believe in the value of
peas, just try them.--W. r. Lam
beth, in Practical Farmer.

Grapes Ruined nv Rain.

Reports from the interior of Cali.
fornia show that the heavy rains
which fell last week all over the
northern part of the State have
caused immense loss to farmers and
vineyards, and in all probability
will put an end to the shipment of
grapes to the East. The Total loss
exceeds 81 100000, In Fresno coun-
ty alone it is estimated that the
storms caused loss of at least $780,
600 to raisin men. At least one
quarter of the entire crop is lost.

There are statements and rumors
from all parts of the country fore
shadowing the erection of large
number of plants for the manufac-
ture of beet sugar If half of these
reports shall materialize into the
actual construction of beet sugar
factories, it means the outlay of an
enormous amount of capital and the
diversion of large area of land
from its present crop production to
the growth of sugar beets. For ex-
ample, it is said that factory cost
ing 100000 is to be built at Chilli
Gothic, Ohio. Such a factory would
require the product of 5000 acres of
land to keep it employed. Innearly
allof the wheat-growing States we
hear OF beet sugar factories projected
upon even larger scale. At the
rate of 5000 acres of beets for each
factory of average size the gross area
of land thus employed will work a
perceptible decrease in the volume

When it is possible, deep blowing
and shallow working of the sur
face will give much the best results.
When the soil is plowed deep in
good season, and then only the sur
face is stirred in giving the neces-
sary cultivation, the land will hold
moisture much better than if plow-
ed shallow.
In the Fall is the best time to
deepen the blowing, especially of
land that is to be planted to a crop
in the Spring.
In the subsoil there is always
more or less plant food that is in an
unavailable condition. 1t requires
the action of sun, rain, air, thawing
and freezing to put it in an avail
able condition. By blowing deep
in the Fall or early Winter there is
ample time for the elements to act
upon the soil.
But this work must be done in
good season, giving ample time for
the plant food to be made available,
otherwise with the first crop, at
least, deepening the blowing will
prove detrimental, But if The deep
blowing is done in the Fall or early
Winter there is little or no danger
of blowing too deep. Once the soil
is stirred deep it is much easier to
work deep afterwards.

FOR The FARMER.



When the sows that have farrow-
ed litters of pigs in the Fall are to
be bred for another litter in the
Spring it is essential that they be
given such treatment as will keep
them in thrifty condition. 1t is not
necessary that a. SOW sucking a lit
ter should run down in condition
and become thin and poor. Good
feeding, with comfortable quarters,
will keep them thrifty.
One item in lessening the drain
upon her is to get the pigs to eating
as soon as possible. Feeding her
millfeed made into slop with skim
milk in a roomy trough so that
whenever they desire the pigs can
eat beside her will help materially
in getting them started to eating.
Ground oats wet up with SKINNED
milk and allowed to stand until the
oats are thoroughly soft is one of
the best rations that can be given to
growing pigs. As they begin to eat
gradually increase the ration. II
the SOW is to be kept thrifty it is
important that she have all that
she will eat three times day. There
is no advantage in overlooking, but
it is a mistake not to give her all
she will eat, especially if she is to
be bred as soon as possible, ;.!sser
her pigs are weaned.
With good care in feeding we'll
first, the SOW from the time her milk
comes, and then the pigs from the
time they begin to eat-the pigs
may be weaned when six weeks old,
but usually it is best to let them
suck until they are eight weeks old.
One advantage in feeding the
sows well and keeping them thrifty
is that they will come in quicker
after the pigs are weaned than if
they are allowed to run down. Then
a sow should always be in a gain
ing condition when bred. The adj
vantage in breeding the sows in the
Fall or early Winter is that by hav-
ing the pigs farrowed in good season
in the Spring they will have a bet
ter opportunity to grow and be made
ready for market before bad wealth
er sets in in the Fall. A good SOW
that is given good treatment will
farrow and raise two good litters of
pigs every year, but if she does this
she must not be allowed to run down
in condition while sucking her pigs.
A SOW that farrows two good litters
and raises them should be kept as
long as she continues to do this.

POSTMASTER Smith left last night for
Wilson and returned here at 3 o'clock
this morning with his seas remains.
Mr. Smith, the suicide, had been in bad
heaith for some time and was q great
sufferer from dyspepsia. He was for n
number of years in the employ of the
petersburg Savings and Insurance COM
pany. He first went with this company
as runner for the banking department,
but subsequently was promoted to
bookkeeper. which position he filled so
acceptably that he was transferred to
the insurance department. 1t was
while holding this latter office that in
June last he accepted the position of
travelling agent in the States of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina for the Nor
witch Union Fire Insurance company
of England, with his headquarters in

In fact, no one at the office appeared to
know anything In regard to the pro-
posed removal except the rumor that

FAST RUNNING.
!. (Communicated.)

Mr. Edttor-I would like for you to
call the attention Of the street railroad
company to the manner in which some
OF their motormen run their cars. They
come so fast around corners that fire.
quently they do NOT see person stand
Ing ca the corner until after they have
passed them for some distance-some-
times half block----and then they make
you walk to them instead ofe'coming
back to the corner. frequently it is
so muddy that passengers will let them
go before they will walk in the mud
There is no telling now many passen-
gers they lose by this mode of running.
It is "a general source OF complaint, all
down County street especially
Yesterday lady, myself and daugh-
ter walked down town rather than walk
q half block in the mud to the car
Perhaps by calling. attention to this you
may break up the practice.
