The rector smiled as he wrote, espo-
cially when, after Il moment of del D.

he folded his letter and put it into his
breast coat pocket with a good deal of
care.
II must not let Constance question

"What a glorious afternoon, my

The day Of Evelyn Dudley's expected
arrival had come. Constance, as the
afternoon wore on, became excited and
lowered from room to room in state
of INDIGESTION. Finally she went up to
the room she had prepared for her cou-
sin.
To Constance. who had lived a life
of isolation In the old rectory, the pros
pect of another girls companlonship
was very sweet. She had written to
Evelyn telling her so; had said also. in
her impctuous way, that she loved
her already" and was longing to meet
her, when she knew she would love her
more than ever"
Constance sat on the end of the little
white bed and remembered all this
with smile.
Uncle Gerard said she would be shy
at first, but l think my letter would
dispel much of that. l hope she won't
be disappointed in me-
She went TO the glass and arranged
the dainty rullles in her throat.
She turned from the glass suddenly

STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.

Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,
N. j., writes:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I cannot be-
gin to tell you how 1 suffered before
taking your remedies. 1 was so weak
that 1 couldhardly walk across the floor
without falling. had womb trouble
and such 4 bearing-down feeling also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain
in womb, Inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before 1 had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound 1 felt a great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills 1 was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much"
Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St.,
Warren, Pa, writes:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. 1 had Inflammation, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.
l had the backache constantly, also
headache. and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok-
ing me. 1 could not walk around and
/ could notlie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast 1 would feel as
though 1 was smothering. I had to
sit up in bed nightsin orderto breathe.
1 was so weak 1 conld not do any
thing.
81 have now taken several bot
ties of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
I am perfectly cured. do not think

CYCLE AND L

The Iowa supreme court declares that
while no law compels bicyclists to use
lanterns or bells at night, wheelmen
without them are guilty of contribu-
tory negligence in ease of accident.
In 1890 one assistant examiner at the
United States patent Office was able to
examine and dispose of all the applica-
lions for patents on improvements On
bicycles that were presented at. the Of
fee. The labor of eight experts is now
required to do the same work.
A bicyclist who had just ridden 1Os
miles in eight hours died at Bingham
ton, n. Y, the other night. An autopsy
disclosed the fact thai the victims Or
gans were all in z perfect condition. 1t
was simply a case of exhaustion.
There are limits which cannot be trans
crossed even by the perfectly healthy
person.
Twenty-eight motorcycles partici-
pated in a race recently between
Etampes and Chartres, France. The
distance, going and returning, was
nearly 62 miles. The winning vehicle,
driven by an eight-horse power motor,
with two cylinders, made the round
trip in one hour and fifty eight min
utes, or at the rate of 81 % miles per
hour.
In Austria the manufacture of BIZ
cycles is making rapid progress. The
lowest estimate of the 1897 output is
10000 wheels, which is nearly double
the amount produced in 1896. Exports
increased from 5,735 bicycles in 1896 to
$3.50 in 1897, or 65 per cent, while the
production increased &c % per cent.
(2SsGo0 bicycles more than in 1866, and
imports 81 % per cent. ISIS bicycles).

DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep the Cows in a Prime
Condition of Health and In
sure PecunIary Gee

Twice each day, IA times each week.
u COWS are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
MIXED, each cow tied in her W stall
and fed a supplementary ration OF
grain, but not a balanced one except
that it aids digestion and assimilation
with pasture consumed during the day.
This grain ration is made up largely of
bran, with 25 per cent. of chop added.
We do not feed grain for the purpose Of
quieting our COWS, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al
ways feel that it pays to do it in such
q degree as good judgment permits.
Our COWS are driven quietly to and
from field, which is not far, nor should
it be distant. We saw n man go one
mile to a rented pasture to milk. This
was on the right side of economy as
against driving cows the distance 10
and from pasture. We fear some of ou
dairymen are not sufficiently careful
during the summer in caring for
stables, keeping them cleanly and re-
moving daily some of the products that
soon produce noisome odors. Every
thing should be kept absolutely clean
and every stain busted with gypsum or
what is almost as good, III road
dust.
Almost daily our stalls are swept and
the walk behind treated likewise, so
that they present a tempting place for
the cows to go to eat and rest while
they are speedily pailed. We advocate
rapid milking when done in a mastery
way. In fly time a burlap cover closed
up at the rear is thrown over a cow
while milking her, and she stands per-
fectly quiet and cannot use her tail to
the annoyance of the mixer. Udders
and teats are busted before milking,
thus avoiding foreign substances get
ting into the milk, which we consider
very important. At once after COWS are
MIXED they are turned out to avoid
soiling the trench. We are poor au-
thority on kicking COWS. The best way
TO break them is not TO have them.
Kicking COWS are, we think, the result
of poor handling and training.-George
L. Scott, in National Stockman.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Do not depend on beauty of form in
the selection of the good dairy COW
alone. One among the best butter cows
we ever possessed was of undeniable
''scrub''origin and exceedingly angular.
While a great many people find fault
with the Devon on account of their long
horns, yet they have proven themselves
a good beef cattle; besides, they have
excellent milking qualities.
In the Elgin district there T prob
ably produced 100000 pounds of but
ter per day, which would require $780,
900 pounds of milk and 4 loss OF ten
cents per hundred would mean a loss of
$500 per day, or nearly $1,000 0 a
year.
One really good COW will furnish as
much milk as two ordinary ones, while
the one will cost but half as much as
the two for keeping. In the latter case
the profit all goes in keeping the extra
cow. If We would prosper we must
keep our wits awake.
Skip one feeding period after the calf
is removed so it will have a good appe-
tite, then give from three to four pints
Of whole milk fresh from the COW; it
will then drink without the finger.
Feed only twice a day and the first week
feed its mothers milk fresh.-Western
Plowman.

MARKETING T
Most Important Problem
of the Dairy.

After five years experience I find
La this is a most important prob
lem. If the yield from the creamery is
poor, especially in quality, the man
amer should investigate and if the fault
lies with the butter maker, he should
secure another one, as good men can
be secured if reasonable salaries are
paid. If the fault is with the patrons,
il will be more difficult to remedy, but
frrnncss at the weigh can Will usually
bring about the desired change. Pack
ages should be neat and clean and put
uD in accordance with the demands Of
the market. The safest package for
our Minnesota creameries is the So
pound ash tub. The bulk of the goods
goes tc New York. BY combining and
shipping in carloads a saving of ten
cents per cwt. can be effected. If you
have d good commission house do not
leave it. Investigate new firms care
fully, even before shipping a trial lot.
| do not like the idea of having one man
TO handle the butter IN a salary. I
would divide shipments several times
and make careful comparisons of re-
turns. considering not only the price,
but the weight. It would be well for
creameries 10 send their secretary or
to study the market 10 which
they ship. Beware of tempting offers
from outside houses or wholesale gro-
GERS and never ship to them without
Investigating references carefully

DON'T Worry the Cow.

A rough. quiek-tempered man should
never be tolerated around the cow
stable. The COW loves quietiude. Any
disturbance which eXeites her lessons
if it does not sop the secretion and flow
of milk. 1t is very easy for an employee,
by kicking and beating a GOV just be-
fore or while he is milking, TO lessen
her milk flow by one-half. This is
called holding up" the milk. It ia
really a prevention of milk secretion,
and the milk thus lost does not come
down at any subsequent milking
