This is Certainly w Ond erfui Chance.

This Is Certainly 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 a 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 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
of free consultation will only last
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.

For Horses Choking Ou Oats.

Horses frequently choke in eat
ing oats; few remedies are known,
and if not relieved the result is
fatal to the horse. A little water
thrown into the ear will cause the
horse to violently shake his head.
The remedy has never been known
to fail.

The Meat supply.

The Meat supply.
No matter what the price OF hogs
and cattle may be, the farmer should
kill, cure and store away a sufficient
supply of meat for the family table.
1t is certainly poor economy to sell
fat hogs and cattle, now, on foot
and buy back sailed and cured meat
to eat next Summer.
With little care both beef and
pork can be sailed down and cured
so as to keep until needed. Beef
may be pickled, or it can be dried
and make a good article of food. 1t
is an item to be sure that all the
animal heat is cooled out before
sailing. 1t will, also, be better to
cut the meat into small pieces con-
venient to handle. There will also
be less risk of the meat spelling, if
it is in small pieces. When the
meat is to be kept for some time 1t
will be better to cook the brine,
bringing it to boil and Swimming
it off carefully before pouring over
the meat. A little saltpetre and
black pepper added to the common
salt will make "a better preserving
brine than salt alone. Pack the
meat in closely and then pour the
brine over it until the meat is COW
cred entirely. A board should be
fitted over the top of the vessel and
weight put upon it, so as to make
sure that the meat will be kept well
covered with brine
In four or five days it will be best
to pour off the brine and put on
fresh or heat the old brine to the
boiling point, skimning as before.
Allow it to- cool and then pour it
over the meat again. If it is desired
to dry any part OF it after it is suffi-
GENTLY sailed, it can be taken out
of the brine and hung up and
smoked
Pork may be dry-salted orpickled.
If to be picked, the same treatment
AS with beef may be followed unless
little brown ginger is added to the
brine, making rather sweeter meat.
Hogs seven or eight months old,
weighing IT'S or 200 pounds, make
better meat than larger and heavier
hogs, AS the latter usually have an
excess Of fat.
When pork is dry sailed, it should
first be laid out SO that its animal
heat will all cure out. Mix the
salt, pepper, saltpeter and sugar
thoroughly together, and rub each
piece we'll with the mixture, and
after laying in place, sprinkle liber-
ally with it.
1t is best to go carefully over it
in week or ten days, unless the
weather is very cold-so cold that
the meat is frozen the greater part
of the time. Then it will be best
to wait until there is thaw.
1t is best not to let the meat
freeze before sailing; and it will take
salt much better if it Is kept from
freezing for three weeks after

FOR THE FARMER,


damp weather.
There is no breed that lays eggs
of uniform color.
IF eggs are desired for Matching
use 2-year -old hens.
Even in cold weather good ven
tilation is necessary.
Clean out the quarters often and
whitewash the walls.
A fruitful cause of disease among
poultry is foul water.
Do not pack dressed poultry until
all animal heat is cooled out.
From this time on through the
Winter give the fowls warm
breakfast.
Other things being equal, the
hens supplied with good range will
thrive the best
If there are any late, Matched
chickens see that they are given
warm quarters.
Buckwheat bran and mashed po-
tatoes make frst-cass warm
mash for breakfast
Peafowls are much smaller birds
than they appear. 1t does not pay
to raise them for their flesh.
Turnips chopped into little bits
and fed to poultry can be made to
take the place of green food.
Clean earth is first-class disin-
fectant and purifier. As long as 1T
is dry it can hardly be used to ex
cess.
When the comb of a fowl is
bright-colored, showing it to be full
of blood, the fowl is in healthy con-
dition.
The next two or three weeks is
when turkeys are most in demand.
The profit depends upon their con-
dition.
Growing chickens and laying
hens should be literally supplied
with bones and shells in the form
of meal
The greater the number Of eggs
from each hen the lower the cost of
each egg proportionately. Keep the
hens laying.
The ducks and geese should have
plenty of straw scattered over the
floor, upon which they can roost
during the Winter.
Watch for the first appearance
OF colds among your flock; attend
to it promptly and you will not be
troubled with roup.
Coal tar placed in the drinking
water is one of the best remedies for
running nostrils. Avoiding the
drafts will prevent it.
The fowls should be fed as early
and as late as possible, giving the
heaviest and best meal just before
they go on the roosts.
When it can be had conveniently,
it will be good plan to mix all the
soft food given to the poultry with
milk rather than water.
Sharp gravel is necessary to as
sist in digestion. 1t should be fur
nished during the Winter, when the
fowls cannot go out for it.
Give variety of both dry and
cooked food-a mixture of meat and
vegetables. In this way better
health and thrift can be maintained.
If the fowls have the run of the
farm they find the kind and variety
of food best suited to them, and the
exercise helps to keep them healthy.
Dead leaves make good material
to scatter over the floor of the poul-
try house for the fowls to scratch
over. Scatter little grain among
them.
