About Howard County.

Howard county is full of progress
i've up-to-date farmers, men with the
perseverance, energy and determina-
tion to win success if no unnecessary
aud restrictive obstacles are placed
in the way by legislation, which i'm
poses upon the industrious and
frugal the burdens which should be
borne by the idle, the rich and extrav-
agant. Howard Center in the person
of John Riley has one of these public
spirited, go-ahead farmers, He has q
large herd of cattle, horses and hogs,
is dividing his farm into separate
apartments by means of division
fences, so that when the crop is re-
moved from one that it may be used
for turning the stock in if necessary.
He is planning to furnish his stock
with an abundant supply of pure
water sweet and wholesome, an i'm.
portant feature in all dairy oper-
ations. His hogs are supplied with an
abundance of fresh water by means
of a float in the trough, and with his
beautiful home and its evergreen
grove about it he has an ideal
location and one of the best half
sections in the county. A fine grow
ing young orchard from the New
Oregon Nursery is one of the fine
features Of his home.
At the farm of Mr.. Wachta in
Howard an orchard of Russian
apples, trees loaded as heavily as
they could bear up was one of the
pleasant sights of the county aud
one which forty years ago many
thought would never be seen in the
county.

Hornets Nests Are Low, Nuts Arc

"We'll have mild winter, unless my

est farmer in Laltukenny township, N.
Y, according to an exchange, who has
all his life been noted as q weather
prophet among the folks along the
North mountains, land guess this
from the hornets, the nuts, and the
woods. I notice that the hornets have
built their nests low. They would be
high up out of reach, were we going to
have u hard winter. can't explain
this, but my father and grandfather al
ways gagged by this. Then nuts of all
kinds are scarce. There are hardly any
chestnuts, shellbarks, or acorns. II q
hard winter was coming the Good Man
would have provided for the animals
that must starve this year If the SNOW
lies deep. A big crop Of nuts Is always
followed by hard winter, and this also
works the other way. Then notice
that the weeds have grown up short,
and their seeds hang near the ground.
Were hard winter coming the weeds
would have grown up tall, 80 that when
the snow would lie deep the birds could
hop along on the snow and get the seeds
from the top Of the plants. II the weeds
are covered with snow for long time,
the birds can't get any feed. The Good
Man looks after the birds, too, and
don't believe they Will starye this vim
ter on account OF the berries and seeds
being covered with snow. For these
three reasons think We'll have mild

There is only one way to cure deaf

Men Have Larger Hearts.

"It Is customary to assert that wom-
en- are more apt to love than men, and
that they love with greater passion"
said the physician. but, nevertheless,
if the heart has anything to do with It,.
the greater love should be that of the
man. For woman's heart is not as big
as that in the male breast. Men have
larger hearts. The average heart of a
man weighs from ten to twelve ounces,
while the average heart of woman
weighs two ounces less. Nevertheless,
in proportion to the whole weight Of
the body, the woman's heart is greater,
for in the normal woman the heart
weighs LAO as much as all the rest OF
her. while the mans heart is but 1853
OF his total weight"

We live in country Of which the
principal scourge is stomach-trouble.
1t is more widespread than any
disease, and, very nearly, more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it SO danger
Gus is that it is SO little understood.
If it were better understood, it
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now.
So. those who wish to be cured,
take Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it goes to the root of the
trouble as no other medicine does.
The pure, harmless, curative herbs
and plants, of which it is composed,
are what render it so certain and,
at the some time, so gentle cure.
1t helps and strengthens the
stomach, purifies and tones up the
system.

From Nndiay, o.. comes an anecdote,
the truthfulness of which is vouched
For. A young manand young lady were
returning from an evening party, when
Ithey were alarmedby woman's scream
tor help. The young man ran into the
house whence the screams issued. and
found gas pipe broken, the ignited gas
pouring out and the house in fair way
ITO destruction. He first ran out and
turned on the fire alarm, then dashed
back and busted himself saving articles
of furniture. getting several severe Bills
tiers in the attempt. When the engines
arrived, the fire was extinguished and
the young hero departed. The next
day the lady of the burning house called
TO see the young Lady who was in COM
Ipany with the young man on the pre-
Ipdous night, and said, seriously: II
don't think that gentleman friend Of
yours is very polite. he actually spoke
Fto me last night without an introduce
tion."

HIS NOSE WAS HIS EYE.
Strange Result of an Accident to q
sixteenth Century Man.

S1xteentn century MAMs
Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
fury mentioned the existence OF man
who, having lost his syesight, could
see through his nose, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The story, much doubted
at the time and pronounced fabulous
by physicians, is nevertheless true II
the researches of E. Douliot prove cor
rect. It seems that the victim had lost
his right eye early in life, and later
on while climbing ON cherry tree fell
upon fence, the pickets horribly mutt
lating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in consdd-
cred the eye entirely destroyed, sewed
up the wound and it healed in time,
forming a large scar where the eye
had been. A year later the man, then
considered stoneblind, lay in the grass,
when he surprised himself by discoy-
'ering that he could perceive through
the cavity of the nose the sky and the
color of the flowers on the meadow
around him. From that time on he
practiced for five or six years to see
with his nose, which to him became
practically the organ Of vision. He
gradually became more proficient In
seeing in this way and could see every
thing beneath him while he remained
quite insensible to the light from above.
The condition of this man can be
explained scientifically. Although the
lens Of the eye had been torn from Its
socket by the fall, the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear Of the cavity
of the eye had retained some OF the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together a small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed which acted
as lens in the same way as pinhole
can be used to take Photographic pic
ture. This also proves that the retina
Of the eye acts like camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays OF light
arrive there after passing through a
small opening.

KNEW The EMPEROR.

A Story which, Though Perhaps Un-
true, Is Very Good.
A good land true?) story is going

COVE which had just come in-an ordi-
nary brindle COW.
When his little son Harold drank some
of the milk he remarked on its peculiar
taste and odor. In alarm the father
tasted 1t, fearing that the COW had been
poisoned or was ill. He, too, noticed
that the milk did not taste exactly as
1t should. It was sampled by each
member of the family, but while all
agreed that it did not taste right it was
some time before the cause of the Pc
culiar taste was reached. Suddenly
the wife of the farmer said:
"I'll tell you what it tastes like
strawberries"
Thus reminded, each admitted that
the milk tasted strongly of strawber-
ries and the mystified farmer went to
bed to think it over. The next day
when the COWS were turned out to pas
ture he followed the one from which he
had taken the milk the night before
and found that on reaching the pasture

The mystery of the milk was thus ex-
planned and Simmerson realized that
he had a COW which gave strawberries
and cream. He learned from veter-
mary that the strawberry plants could
not hurt the COW or poison the milk and
then he came to town with the story.
He says that the peculiar mixture OF
strawberries and cream which the COW
gives makes the most excellent straw.
