The butcher and the poultry man
had just completed arranging
their wares for the morning S
trade and were leaning back
on their stalls in a restful position
awaiting the ringing of the opening
bell
Talking about cold weather." the
butcher was saying, did you hear what
happened out at my place during the
last cold snap?"
The poultry man said he had not
heard of anything strange.

butcher. II have a natural gas light

cold. | looked at the thermometer and
it was so burned cold out there the
stuff inside the tube had dropped down
into the hole and pulled the hole down
after it. After a bit of trouble | lit
the light over the door. Me and the
boy put the rig up as quick as we
could and broke for the house. forget

FOUR BOXES DID n.

Success or 4 New Pile Cur
People who have suffered for
months or years from the pain and
inconvenience of that common dis
order, piles. will look with skepti-
clSm upon the claims Of the makers
OF the new discovery for a cure of
ali forms of piles, known under the
name OF Pyramid Pile Cure; never
theiess the extraordinary cures per
formed by this remedy are such as
to warrant the investigation of any
sufferer. AS a case in point the
following letter speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas, CT sub station
NO 3, Hosack Ave-, Columbus, O.,
writes as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen:-I want you to use
my name if it will be of any use
TO you. | was so bad with piles
that lost work on that account.
Nothing helped me. | read in Gin
clnnati of the many cures of piles
by the Pyramid Pile Cure and |
went to drug store and asked for
it. The drug clerk told me that
he had something else that he
thought was better, but | told him
that | wanted to try the Pyramid
first.
The first box helped me so much
that tried another, and then to
complete the cure used two more
boxes, making four in all. | am
now completely cured. Have not a
trace OF piles and had suffered for
four years with the worst kind of
protruding piles.
l suffered death from piles, but I
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure
to be just as represented. l have
recommended it to several of my
friends and am thankful to be able
20 write you what good the remedy
has done me.
Physicians recommend the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure because it contains
no opium, cocaine or mineral poi
son of any kind, and because it is so
safe and pleasant to use being pain
less and applied at night. The pa
tlent is cured in surprisingly
short time and with no inconven-
fence whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package,
and if there is any constipation it
is we'll to use the Pyramid Pills at
the same time with the Pile Cure
as constipation is very often the
cause of piles and the pills effect
ually remove the costive condition.
Price of Pills is 25 cents per pack
age.

Marshall, Mich, for little book on
cause and cure of piles; sent NY

Not One-Fourth of Pottery Trust Stock
Subscribed
1t looks like many Of the western pot
tiers are losing faith in the American
Pottery Company and not a few have
been starting up independent of the
combine. The subscriptions of stock
in the trust were announced to close In
New York on Tuesday last, but since
then local potters have received no
word from the people who undertook to
float the stock. 1t is stated that out
of the S27,000,000 capital stock only
S6000,000 has been taken, $4,000 GOO be-
ing cash and $4,000, 900 being taken by
the manufacturers in part payment for
their plants. The projectors announc-
ed last week that if the necessary stock
to float the trust was not taken within
few days they would drop the deal,
and it begins to look as though they
had kept their word.

ENGINE CRIPPLED.

Thursday evening last B. & O.. pas
senger engine No. $40, which haals
the Pittsburg express leaving Wheel
ing at $40 p. M, broke the rear side
bar on the right hand side. The mis-
hap happened at Benwood Junction just
as the locomotive had been coupled to
the train ready to start out Oh the trip.
Had the train got out on the road and
the bar broken while the engine was
running at full speed, there is no tell
ing how serious wreck would have
happened. The bar on being exam
ined was found to have been defective
for some time past, and it is wonder
that it did not break before it Gid.
On account of there being no other pas
senger engine at the shops, freight
locomotive was used to haul the tram
to Pittsburg, arriving there consider
ably behind time.

about Potatoes.

There is probably no crop largely grown that yields a better profit than the potato crop. Yet the per acre yield throughout the country Is small, due very largely to poor methods in han ding the soil The potato aecommo- dates itself to many varieties of soil md to all kinds of culture. Perhaps
 a et is taken advantage of to too
 4a extent. and not enough care
 tn any part of the process of pro- al'ias the crop. When we consider that more than 1000 bushels of pota- toes have been raised on an acre in diff ferent parts of the country, and that less than 100 bushels is the ordinary yield, we are forced to believe that we are not using all of our possible ad- Yantages.
 The first requisite is well-prepared land, drained if it so requires. This good preparation means blowing deep enough to admit of the fullest growth of root. Whatever may be said against deep blowing yet it certainly has a tendency to send the roots down be- yond the summer drouth, which is often thing of great importance. The writer remembers a little corner in a potato patch in which coal ashes had been thrown. The ground thus in- creased in depth gave moisture to the plants when in all other parts of the patch they were dying for lack of moisture The probable reason was that in that part the soil was so porous that the roots had been able to strike deep and to reach into a stratum of continuous moisture This Is not to advocate the use of coal ashes as a fer tilizer for potatoes. but to illustrate the principle by which a loose soil permits the penetration of roots.
 As to milling there is great diversity of opinion. We know that it Is be- coming quite popular to advocate the doing away of the old style Of hill- ing, and to say that the idea of hill- ing was a barbarous one, originating among the bogs of Ireland. The whole settlement of the question must de- peuu OH circumstances. ooIue Val lelie5 have to be hilled anyway, unless we expect to have some of the potatoes on top of the ground The question of moisture runs into that of milling 4 certain man some years ago abandoned the milling process and planted all of his potatoes on the level. It happened to be aa exceptionally wet summer and the entire crop was damaged by lying too much in the water. Killing would have done some good in this case.

YItrIolLzIng seed Wheat.

For small quantities of seed, vitrio= lizing on a floor, in sacks, tubs, etc, does very well, but for large quanti- ties it is too slow, writes c. H. Lester in Dakota Farmer. Heretofore I have used a wagon tank with the top re- moved, set O., two benches so placed that a lift of a hundred pounds at the front will raise that end ten or twelve inches to secure drainage. Place tank convenient to seed bin. Nail double thickness of wire screen on inside over plug hole at back end of tank. Place three barrels at back of tank into which put your vitriol solution, and also place a large wash tub under the drainage vent The vitriol solution will have to be constantly replenished as well I would here suggest that when you buy your yitriol, you have it finely ground when it will readily dissolve in cold water, and don't use tin pals to h. He it with as the ae- tion of -he vitriol will ruin them, HaY- ing thus made preparations, fill the tank nearly full of wheat and level it, then dip solution from barrels into tank until the grain is entirely sub merged Let stand two minutes. No skimmino or stirring is needed as the soakino sufficient to kill vitality of smut bal g. Knock out drainage plug and let nl'd flow into washtub, from which dip it back into barrels to be used again When the flow becomes sluggish raise front of tank and allow to drain The action of the vItrioI water generates a slight heat and a tendency of the grain to bake Usually in about an hour after draining, the wheat can be scooped into a wagon box or sacked. If sacked, fill sacks only tro-thirds full and in few hours change their position in order to move the grain in the sack to facilitate dry ing. Handled in this way the seed dries very fast and in from three to four hours should be in good eondi- ton to sow. For large quantities, 1,50O bushels, or over, would use a grain tank, we'll battoned, and hold ing about one hundred bushels in place of the wagon tank.
