startled with the cry of Mamma from little
Beatrice who vas creeping toward me L
had placed her on an improvised bed in the
parlor comfortably close to the firesids and
given her some books and playthiDgs. She
became tired OF waiting for NE TO come hack
and made ND her mind to 60 TO me, SO her
story Ny Pink Pills made me walk, which
she tells everyone who comes to our house,
was then for the first time verified. She has
walked ever since. She has now taken about
nine boxes Of the pills and her pale and
pinehed face has been growing rosy, and her
limbs gained strength day by day. She
sleeps all night long now. while before taking
the pills she could rest bnt Jew hours at
time.

The growth of young animal is
the main factor in the increase of
its weight, and when the food is
both heterogeneous and carbonaceous
there is Il greater gain than when
the food is mostly carbonaceous, as
when corn alone is used. At the
Alabama experiment station pigs
pastured on nearly matured COW
peas, and supplied with corn, made
almost three times the gain in live
weight made by similar pigs fed ex-
clusively on corn. Pigs also gained
more rapidly on ground COW peas
and corn than on corn alone. In
effect 5.28 pounds Of the mixed food
was equal to 8.06 pounds Of ground
corn. One pound Of corn meal
however, proved superior to 9
pounds of sweet potatoes.

This IL Certainly wonderful Chance

We are aware that our readers
who suffer from Nervous, Chronic

world and who is without doubt the
most successful specialist in curing
all forms of Nervous, Chronic and
Sexual troubles, offers Tree consul

teresting and instructive treatise
that should be read by every man
who is married or is thinking of

on many subjects which you have
no doubt often wondered about. He
will send you copy free, if you
write to him enclosing stamp.

reputation by 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

FOR THE FARMER.
Poultry Notes.


Young ducks should not he AL
lowed 10 run to water.
Warm, sweet milk is one uf the
best tonics Tor sick fowls.
Let the hen run with the chickens
az long as they please now.
Hens usually cease to lay when
improperly fed and when sick.
Chickens may be hurried along
now rapidly by feeding them oftener.
Never use coal ashes in the dust
bath unless they have been well slft-
ed.
While the leghorn is good egg
producer, it is not a good all-pnrpose
fowl.
No matter what is fed during the
day whole grain should be given at
night.
Sour milk and buttermilk are
good to mix with the soft food of
poultry.
While the weather is hot it is inn
portant that the fowls have plenty
of shade.
Ducklings require much shorter
time Of being taken care OF than
chickens.
Dry salt is as good material AS
can be used for preserving eggs at
this time.
Keep supply of ground oyster
shells where the fowls can help
themselves.
There is no other poultry meat
that can be raised so cheaply as
duck meat.
Eggs can he increased in size and
richness by proper feeding of the
laying hens.
As rule, very late melting fowls
should be culled out as undesirable
to breed from.
AS hen pays in proportion to
the eggs she produces, it is well to
look carefully how she is fed.
When selecting the stock to be
kept through the winter keep the
largest. youngest and most vigorous.
White pin feathers are no easier
to remove than colored ones, but
they do not show SO much when left
in.
The fowls cannot be kept healthy
unless they have dry quarters and
are given good opportunities for
exercise
Chickens as well as other stock
tire OF sameness ofdiet. When they
show distaste for food it should
be changed.
Lice will always attack ill-con
ditioned, sickly fowls A flock neg
lected and poorly fed will breed lice
faster than anything else.
A strong solution of red oak bark
is said to he an excellent cure for
cholera. 1t can be mixed with the
food or put in the drinking water.
The best way to feed bones is to
pound them up into bits small
enough for the fowls TO swallow.
The fresher they are the better. Give
the fowls all that they will eat.
The main feature of the bantams
is their small size, and in breeding
them every other point should be
sacrificed, in order to have them as
small as possible. They are tame
and make excellent pets.
Feed for Young Pigs.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.
Negro Made nm Assault in the Heart
of Waco.


of Waco.
Waco Texas. February 16.--Mrs. E. II.
Fogg, wife of one OF the city transfers. was
assaulted by a negro in the heart of the
city. Mrs. Fogg had driven down town,
bringing her husband TO the city stables,
and had gone to her fathers residence. be-
tween Mary and Jackson. on south Second
street within block and a half of the
court house. II was between and Z
o'clock and very few people were stirring
at the time. Mrs. Fogg drove into rear
gate at her fathers residence, into The
yard and alighted, She had not more than
touched the ground when a burly negro
sprang from behind the woodshed and
caught her with one arm around the waist
and her neck with one hand over her
mouth He began kissing her on the cheek
moving the while toward the woodshed
Mrs. Fogg struggled with all her strength
and finally succeeded In releasing her
mouth, when she screamed two or three
times and the brute released her and ran
away Her screams brought her father to
her and he gave chase after the negro, but
could not overtake him. The officers
joined by several posses are securing the
city for the negro, but they have very little
hope of capturing him, as Mrs. Fogs can
not give any description other than gem
eral one, and Mr.. Cary, her father, only
got n rear view while the negro was re-
treating block away.
The incident has created great indigna
ton and feeling is increased by the bold
ness of the brute. If ne is captured and
identified there may be trouble.

The State text book board has just con-

matter, from the old edition of the history
prepared by the same authors. The new
book, however, can not be furnished to the

time to bring out an issue of the revised

The State text book board has devoted
much time In making careful and thor
