A Sure Cure for Hog Cholera.

Wagoner's Disinfectsnt Company of
Emporia will prevent every case of chol-
era and guarantee to cure 95 per cent. of
all hogs afflicted with this most dreaded
disease. We kill the germ, and usually
after one or two doses the hog is eating
and gets well. 1t costs.about cents to
treat each hog. When the hog is too
sick to eat or stand he must be drenched.
Don't be discouraged; he will get up
again. This preparation has had no
equal for three years in Indiana, The
price Of one hog will treat 1000 others.
Be sure and use it.

the business, such fights cannot last
long, and practically one company will
do the entire trade of a city. Then
will come combinations Of stores In
different cities, until each and every
store In the Nation will be under one
control, and this management will
place establishments In every town

BILLY'S BRIGHT IDEA.


It Helped His Mother In Her Trunk
Packing.
The Churchman has given us Bily's
idea, which is surely valuable enough
to be spread abroad. His mother was
going to the seashore, and while she
was packing her trunks he was pop
ping in about every five minutes with
something of his that must be packed
also.
''I'd like to help you, mother" he
said once, preparing to pitch his fishing
tackle in on his mothers lace gown,
" cause you look so tired"
'Never mind. Billy" said his mother,
catching the tackle. II shall rest after
awhile. Packing is hard work for q
tall person, though, for it makes one
stoop So"
"Why," said Billy, with his hands in
his pockets and his head on one side,
"why don't you put the trunks upon
something? Hullo, know; horses,
wooden horses, you know, mother; car
penters horses; there are some in the
basement. I'll bring 'em."
And directly there he was again WITH
a wooden horse on his back.
'''Nother ones coming with Sam,
he said. painting, land we'll lift up the
trunks"
BILLY boy" said his mother, straight
ening up her tired back, Il believe
your plan is good one"
Sure enough, the packing went on
beautifully after that, and at dinner
Billy's mother said she had never
packed so easily and comfortably.

It has hitherto been customary to
fritter away the intellectual force OF
parrots by merely teaching them to
say pretty Poll" and things of that
sort. but the municipal authorities OF
a French town have instituted what it
is to be hoped will become general
reform.
The poor-box at the town hall, it
seems, had for long time been in a
condition discreditable to the more
prosperous of the inhabitants. To re-
mind them of their duty toward their
poorer neighbors a parrot was pur-
chased, which was installed close to the
box and trained to cry: For the poor,
if you pleased"
The result, it appears, has been high
ly satisfactory, pence and silver having
been freely given in response to the
birds appeal.
The idea is capable Of being applied
in a variety of ways. Parrots might be
used, for example, to warn passers-by
of the proximity of wet paint on fences
or shop fronts, or to remind people on
entering house to wipe their feet.
In fact, parrots might be made really
useful members of society.

Dear Sir: In answer to yours asking

Stretch island (Cases's inlet, with
limited capital and still less experience

clear and set out commercial fruit
orchard. Today we have Is acres
cleared and an orchard. of 1900 fruit
trees-Italian prunes, fall and winter
apples, pears and plums, 200 Concord
and Delaware grapes vines and hun
dreds of small fruit such as b1ackber-

can be raised in any semi-tropical
country. Apples raised here are as
fine as any 1 ever ate in my native
state. New York: Italian prunes raised
here cannot be beat in any part of the
world; all except tropical fruit grows
to perfection here.
The gold mines of Alaska, Cripple
Creek, Trail creek cannot be compared
with the mine we b rave; the longer our
mines is worked, the richer it grows.
I cannot imagine a safer investment
than fruit farm of Is to 80 acres of
land in the Puget Sound country,
properly cleared and planted. If
managed intelligent1y, any man with
little money and plenty of push, that
will get in and work can in a few
years duplicate what the city chap
has done. 1 will not try to speak of
the climate. I am satisfied perfectly,
and have never 1onged for New York
summers or winters. Western WASH
