This is Certainty IA WONDERFUL Chance.

We are aware that our readers
who suffer from Nervous, Chronic
and Sexual Diseases do not have
the same opportunity to be cured as
do the residents of the large cities,
where the most eminent physicians
and specialists reside. DR.. c. H.
Towner, Detroit, Mich, { Box g.,
who has the largest practice in the
world and who is without doubt the
most successful specialist in curing
all forms of Nervous, Chronic and
Sexual troubles, offers free consul
tation by mail to all sufferers. The
Doctor has just issued very in
teresting and instructive treatise
that should be read by every man
who is married or is thinking of
marriage. 1t gives you information
on many subjects which you have
no doubt often wondered about. He
will send you copy free, if you
write to him enclosing stamp.
Better write to-day, as the demand
for the treatise is very large and
first come are first served. No mat
ter who has failed to cLre you, it
will cost you nothing to obtain the
Doctors opinion on your case. Re-
member he has made his world wide
reputation bv curing the most OBJ
stinate cases, after they had been
given up by the most eminent ply
sicians in this country and Europe.
Do not be deferred from seeking his
advice, because after being treated
by many who failed to cure you,
you have become discouraged. This
is the very time you should make
one more trial. The Doctors offer
of free consultation will only last a
short time longer, so we would adj
wise our readers who are interested
to write at once about their case, as
he will surely cure them and the
chance to get the free advice of this
eminent specialist may never occur
again.

effect of producing dysentery in its
worst form.
A good supply of chaff hives
avoids the labor of carrying the
hives into the cellar in the Fall and
out again in the Spring as well as
other work.
The best plan for keeping section
boxes that are to be used again is
to crate them up in the same man
ner as used in the hive when in the
process of storing honey.
The number of frames on which
colony can be wintered depends
upon the size of the same A weak
colony can be crowded into much
smaller space than strong one.
There should not be any snow
about the entrance of the hives
when the bees are flying; and it is
better to keep bees confined to the
hives when the ground is covered
with snow.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but
there is really no trick about it.
Anybody can try it who has Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria
or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medi-
cine tones bp the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to Liver and
Kidneys, is blood purifier and
nerve tonic. 1t cures Constipation,
Headache, Painting Spells, Sleep
lessness and Melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, mild laxative,
and restores the system to its natu-
raj vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a mira
Gle worker. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only SOC a bottle at T. j. A

Good Road Essentials.

Three essentials of modern road
building are the road machine, for
grading, shaping and preparing the
road bed; the stone crusher, which
may often advantageously be por-

stone, and an efficient road roller,
preferably a steam roller of about
twelve tons weight These are at
the bottom of economical macadam

The United States Consul at
Chimnitz, Germany, advises Amer
leans to ship their apples this year
to Germany. If good fruit is chosen,
such as will stand a long voyage
the Baldwin apple, for instance-he
is confident that the business will
prove to be paying one. Com
plant has been made in Germany
against American fruit because OF
the fear of the introduction of the
San Jose scale, which is one of the
most destructive diseases known to
fruit. Investigation has shown that
the fear of the Germans has been
exaggerated. 1t is not denied that
the San Jose scale is found in some
parts of the United States, but dis,
eased fruit is not shipped abroad
Such a course would soon result in
destroying the export business
German experts are now in the Uni
ted States studying our fruit. Sc
far as known they have not advised
exclusion.

the business has been proved tc be
worth the effort made to establish it.
In New York State, in Pennsylva-
MIA, parts of Maryland, the northern
part of Virginia, and in some of the
Western States are grown some OF
the best apples in the world. They
stand transportation well, and the
demand for them is increasing The
reputation of such fruit as the
Baldwin, the winesap and the Abe
marie pippin, of Virginia-the
latter of which is confined to com
paratively small area, owing to
peculiar conditions of the soils
well established. Americans have
much to learn about packing fruit,
but they are gaining strong hold
in the foreign markets. For the five
years preceding 1896 the annual
average of shipments of fruit from
this country to Germany amounted
to over $4,000, 900. Baltimore Amer

The secret of producing choice
bacon, says the Anericn Swine
herd, lies in the feed trough. lfany
one doubts this, let him put two
Poland China, Berkshire, Chester
White, Duroc, Jersey or any of our
recognized breeds of hogs in two
different pens, feed one all the corn
he can eat until fat, and the other
boiled potatoes, milk, barley or
wheat ground fine and some pea
meal until fat (the old country
way). Kill both, put in dry salt
for six or seven weeks, then take
out and wash, and hang it up in
the kitchen or drying house until
thoroughly dried; then cut off a
good, big chunk and boil it, let it
stand ii | cold; then cut off few
slices, and you will see the cornfed
meat is not so firm, is more oily,
and not so many streaks of lean as
meat fed on barley, potatoes, milk,
ETC., and this is all the difference
you or and one else can detect.

FOR THE FARMER.



The function of pavement or
road surface is very imperfectly
understood, even in sections where
stone roads have been in use for
long periods 1t is commonly sup
posed that a wet spot or bog will
become dry if filled in; that a good
road may be made anywhere simply
by making a shallow trench of the
desired width and filing it with
stone, and that the surface of a stone
road needs to be protected from
wear by covering it with loose
screenings, sod, earth or any old
stuff that is handy in hot weather.
To these erroneous notions are
due many failures to get durability
and satisfaction from attempts at
road building, says L. A. W. Bull
letin. The Importance of drainage
is not fully appreciated in most
sections, but it is at the bottom of
successful road construction, and
neither permanance nor economy
is possible if it is not amply pro-
vided for A wet spot must be
thoroughly drained before road is
carried over it, or it will always be
wet, at least in the wet season, no
matter what else is done to it. Water
under a road bed is as fatal to the
life of the road as water in mans
lungs is fatal to his existence.
The not uncommon practice of
allowing a roadway to be lower than
it's sides makes it little better than
a mere drain, for water settles on
the surface, quickly softens it and
prepares it to be cut up by every
passing vehicle A raised and
crowned road bed which will shed
water readily is essential. A dry
base with a slightly arched cover of
stone capable of shedding the rain
is requisite for a dry, permanent
structure.
The stone roadway is not only to
serve as roof for the material be-
meath, but is to take the wear of
traffic and not to be covered with
other material as a protection to
it. In places where earth is used
for Grinding" purposes and little
regular attention is paid to the
roads and sprinkling is not done in
dry weather, the road surface breaks
up rapidly under the influence of
the sun. 1t is then that it has
heaped upon to protect" it guam
titles of fine screenings, or earth and
stones, and sometimes even clay
and sod from the cutters. The re-
suit is poor road for months, un-
worthy of the name "macadam."
If complete drainage is secured at
the outset, the road crowned and
Systematically cared for, with
sprinkling in dry weather, and is
thoroughly rolled as laid, without
the use of clay to bind it, it will
perform its functions satisfactorily
and prove valuable investment of

Notes for Beekeepers.

Notes for Beekeepers.
Own IA good comb bucket.
Bees should be in Winter quarters
now.
Boiling honey will destroy its
flavor.
Sell the comb honey first and
then the extracted.
Ii you keep drones for queen rear
ing, the colony must be fed
Wax is an article that always
commands cash at good prices.
1t is seldom that if colony is in
proper condition there is any danger
of robbing.
If the swarms are to be wintered
on their stands, use chaff hives as
a protection against cold.
Bees that are from 4 to 5 months
old now before going into Winter
quarters will not live to see Spring.
Food given at this time should be
of good quality; graduated sugar
makes one of the best that can be
supplied.
A colony may be very weak, but
if it possess a laying queen and
brood, it will protect a large surplus
of honey.
Italian bees adhere to the comb
in very quite condition. 1t is "A
rare thing to find an Italian queen
off the comb
If bees have protection in some
manner during the Winter, no one
need be afraid to let them Winter
on Fall honey.
A cellar intended for wintering
bees should not be used for anything
else and care should be taken to see
that it is perfectly dry.
Yucca brushes for removing bees
from combs are very useful. They
are of soft vegetable fiber and will
not irritate the bees.
So far as can be done, bees should
be crowded up in small quarters,
so as to economic their natural
heat during the Winter.
If it is necessary to remove bees
any considerable distance at this
time it should be done before severe
Winter weather sets in.
Protection of the bees in Winter
pays well in the saving of honey
alone, even if the bees live through
the Winter in unprotected hives.
All empty sections and even those
partially filled should be removed
before severe Winter sets in. There
is no advantage in leaving them in.
Windbreaks in the shape of high
board fences or growth of ever
green will be found a great protec-
ton to the apiary during the Winter.
Combs of all descriptions should
remain unmolested during cold
weather. They are at that time very
brittle and will not stand rough
usage.
Dry cork is one of the best ma
terials for packing bees for Winter.
1t may be kept for a long time in
cushions, rs it will not become
musty.
| A queen introduced in the Fall
will produce an entire new stock Of
bees of her own progeny by the
time the honey season opens in the
Spring.
| 1t is not best to confine bees or
comb or pollen during the Winter
