ORIGIN OF LIQUORS.

tecnth century. made a panacCa of the

Distilled spirits came into use in Lon
don in 1850, and had TO be prohibited
in 1891. Michael Savonarola produced
ii treatise on the making of water of
life" in the fifteenth century. which
became 4 standard authority on the
subject. and was followed by the work
of Matthioli, of Sienna. These books
gave an impetus to brandy making in
Italy, whence the trade extended to
France.

Thinning Out the FIOcks,

One of the most important duties OIL
the part of the poultryman is that of
thinning out the flocks. As long as
some of the hens are laying there is an
inclination TO wait for others to begin,
and time passes by, every day being one
of expectancy, but the hens do not lay
Weeks of labor and feeding result, all in
the hope that the Improbable hens will
soon begin to lay, but not until spring
opens and the weather becomes warm
do the hens give full quota of eggs.
Get rid of the idle hens, and keep only
those that are giving profit. 1t is bet

dozen hens that are doing service in
egg-production than to have twice tfhat
number of idle hens.-Dakota Field and

be miracle. The facts were SO remarkable
that many people doubted the truth of them.
They said: 1T is too remarkable; it cannot
possibly be true; the paper is mistaken, and
the man, although he may think himself
cured, will soon relapse into his former con-
dition,' etc, etc. The accuracy of it's report

facts were as stated and whether the man
would really stay cured. They accordingly

THE POLE STACKER.
An Implement That Is Very Popular
in the Far West.

The farmers of Utah live in towns
and have but few barns or sheds on
their farms, which, in many instances,
are two or three miles away. They
often stack hay and grain in small
fenced lots or corrals on an upland
spot, where an artesian well or rcscr.
voir furnishes water, and there feed
horses and cattle during the severes,
months of the winter. Numerous de-
vices have been used in hay-stacking,
some being too expensive and others
being patented by unknown parties
who occasionally demanded royalties
for the use of their ideas.

to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

was a tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came little feeling in his limbs.
This extended, followed by prickling sensa
tions, until at last the blood began to course
freely, naturally and vigorously through his
body, and the helplessness gave way to re-
turning strength, the ability to walk re-
turned, and he was restored to his old time
