WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For People Whose stomachs Are
Weak and Digestion Poor.


DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion In
diseases is worthy of attention, says
when a man or woman comes to me
complaining of indigestion, loss of ap-
petite, sour stomach, belching, sour
watery-risings, headaches, sleepless-
ness, lack of ambition and a general
run down nervous condition I advise
them to take after each meal one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing the tablet to dissolve In the
mouth, and thus mingle with the food
eaten. The result is that the food is
speedily digested before it has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will
digest food anyway whether the stom-
ach wants to or not, because they con-
tain harmless digestive principles,
vegetable essence, pepsih and Golden
Seal which supply just what the weak
stomach lacks.
l have advised the tablets with great
success. both in curing indigestion and
TO build up the tissues, increase flesh
In thin nervous patients, whose real
trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as
the stomach was put to rights they
did not know what sickness was.
fifty-cent package of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they are not a
secret patent medicine. they can be
used as often as desired with full as
surance that they contain nothing
harmful in the slightest degree; on the
contrary, anyone whose stomach is at
all deranged will find great benefit
from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They will cure any form of
stomach weakness or disease except
cancer of the stomach. Full size pack
age at druggists soc or s1oO or by mail
from Stuart Company, Marshall, Micn.

Extravagances of tho Table Are Largely

appreciate the good qualities of our
American women too much to wish to
find fault with them. As a husband
and father of daughters, and with q
wide acquaintance and relationship,
look upon the women OF this country
as lovely and lovable creatures OF
course. like everyt thing on the face of
the earth, they have some failings. We
could not like them half SO well if
they did not, and if, like the stars in
the heavens, they would only dazzle
us with their immaculate brilliancy
and perfection. One of the failings of
farmers wives and daughters, although
originating in a warm heart and a
spirit of kindness and generosity, is
SO far-reaching in its bad effects that
we should try to make woman
kind see it in its true light. To
do this may take time and much
effort in argument and persuasion, etc.,
but any change for the better would
be worth ali this effort. I refer to the
rather general inclination to extrava-

gance in preparing meals and fixing up
dishes, both for the family and espe-
cially for company. What contrast
there is in this respect between farm
ers' families in Europe and America.
There the utmost frugality prevails
and keeps the small farmer out of
debt, free from worry and in perfect
health. Plain food, plainly cooked,
without extra trimmings and flavor
ings, no pie nor pastry, except plain,
wholesome cakes on holiday or festive
occasions; no tea, and only the weak
est kind of coffee, and that often made
of roasted barley, chicory, etc; that is
the way in Europe. Here our women
folks try to please the men-eoll1s and
children by filling them up with
things good to eat, especially tn rich
fries and all sorts Of sweetmeats and
pastry. Every thing has to swim in
butter or grease of some kind, and a
meal is not considered complete. even if
it consisted of the incest fowls, fried or
baked, of fish, flesh or fowl, with
salads, the very perfection of potatoes,
lowed by rich buildings, pies, varions
kinds of cakes, cookies, etc. These
luxurious meals and dishes are never
seen on the tables of the European
small farmer. How can our ordinary
farmers, with an income Of very few
| hundred dollars a year expect to have
them on theirs every day, anil still
make both ends meet?" Why a l this
''spread?" True, we like to make a
little SHOW" But what our women
folks mean as kindness to US is
really one Of the greatest Injuries
they can do US, and this not only
on account of the cost of these things.
Meat and potatoes taste SO good that
we are tempted to make good hearty
meal of them, and then afterward the
pies and rich cakes and preserves and
all the other things are set before us
and we can not resist Thus overloaded
stomachs are the rule, and in conse-
quence we have all sorts of ailments
and constant need of the services OF
doctors, and must spend lots of money
for all sorts of medicines. And the
sick can not work. In short, the mis-
taken kindness of wives and daughters
ruins the health of those they love
and kills off farmers and members OF
farmers families by the wholesale,
and, of course, keeps even those poo1
who otherwise might get along very
nicely with moderate income.-Faru

How to Select brood SOws.

In advising young breeders how to
select brood sows, the writer will sup
Jose he has no sows. Would advise a
young breeder to 60 to some man in
whom he has confidence and tell him
what he wants. Ii the young breeder
wants to breed for pork alone he need
not be so particular about the droop OF
the ear and other fancy points, but4he
must have these traits developed to a
marked degree in his prospective brood
sow. Her ancestors should be good
feeders, good suckers and a quiet and
gentle disposition. The general ap>
pearance of his SOW should be large
and roomy with row of six or eight
well-developed teats ON each side OF
her udder. Should young breeder
want to breed for pork alone some
coarseness in SOW will do no particular
harm.
II he intends to breed for the trade
he should get her as nice in appearance
as possible, with size. He must not be
taken in on those fine, smooth little
| chunks; they are n delusion and q
snare, and the writer has generally
been disappointed in the outcome OF
such as these. A few remarks about
the boar may not be out of place in
this. With sows of good size boar OF
blocky type is admissible. He should
have snort, broad head, neat and
straight in every respect, especially
well developed around the heart and
ham. He should be the offspring of a
| family that are prolific and good suck.
ers, etc. The boar should not be run
with other hogs and his feed should
consist of bran, shorts, oats and milk
principally.
When the breeding season arrives
young breeder should breed his SOW as
late in heat as possible, which is gen.
orally the second day; and the date OF
service should be carefully noted in a
book or register for the purpose. At
the end of 1l2 days the breeder can
look tor an installment of pigs. A SOW
seldom farrows before that time and
she frequently runs over her time one
to four days. This will give young
breeder an outline down to time OF
farrow. Should he desire to know how
the writer handles his piga from now
until weaving, he will give it in anoth.
