A NICE RECEPTION.

Rev. and Mrs Percy Fem enter
tanned at their home on Pine street
last night in reception to the
parishioners of St. James Episco-
pal church, the doctor being the
rector of the same. The reception
was given by the doctor and his
wife, that they might better be-
come acquainted with those con-
nected with the church and the
idea was a happy one, for it
brought out members from almost
all families connected with the
church in the city. DR.. Fem and
his wife did not tire in their work
to see that all was made comtorta-
BILE who presented themselves at
the door. A committee Of ladies
assisted in the reception and the
doctor and his wife were given
more time to move ABOUT among
the guests and get better acquaint-
ed. Nice refreshments were served
and delightful evening was had
by all
DR.. Fem has been here but a
short while, and during this span
he has made friends Of all of his
parishioners.
The city editor is sorry that prev
ous engagement compelled him to
forego the pleasure of meeting
the doctor and his wife and assures
him that he has the kinde,t feei-
inc for him and his work here.

Dairy.

There are many diaries in this
country made up of 300 or 400 pound
butter cows, and these should at
least serve as object lessons to other
dairymen. The highest standard is
never beyond US, if we strive for it.
Herds are built up by wedding out
the bad and keeping the good cows,
but many a herd which would soon
become valuable with a few years
careful handling is kept in a condi-
ton of mediocrity by the policy of
occasionally selling out good COW,
even the best, because some man
tempts with a good offer.
A half breed is better than a poor
thoroughbred mixer. Pedigree and
ancestry are nothing unless they
are guaranty the animal possesses
individual marked traits and char
acteristics which are to be of value.
The practical dairyman demands
this individual excellence in his ami
mails more than anything else.
If the cow is worried there is sure
to be some tension of the muscles
which retain the milk, aud this
holds 1t up. IL she is fed what she
likes these muscles are relaxed, and
even the maternal instinct is forgot

Priceless Pain

"Is a price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend is worth its weight in gold as an allevi-
ator. NY wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al:
together with her last, having previously used
four bottles of Mothers Friend 1t is blessing
to any one expecting to become mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carrni, ILL.,, to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprle-
tors and manufacturers of " Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier 1t
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
1t not only shorters labor and lessons
the pain attending IL, but greatly dimin'
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
Mothers Friend is sold by druggists

For ornament, and to keep the

their roofing and clinging only.

layering them at intervals about the
parent, and the young plant will
soon rival the mother in size; but
keep off all runners for the rest oil

If a start with hogs is to be made,
and as cheaply as possible, rely
largely upon the boar. Be sure he
is a thoroughbred, and select for
him, of course, your best sows.
The western corn grower has lost
MANY a customer for his pork in
both the North and the South. The
one has found what good pork it can
raise on potatoes, roots, rape, oats,
wheat, grass, sorghum and milk,
while the other has the rich cotton
seed meal also. The Southern farm
er Is raising hogs extensively, and OF
the very best, and Is adding this
new industry to the diversified agri-
culture Of The region which once
knew nothing but cotton and cane.
Meanwhile the demands of export
trade are calling for better article,
and the whole country, North and
South, is prospecting in consequence.
This variety of food is yielding bet
ter pork, and corn no longer holds
sole prestige. -.

There are those who believe the

come the most learned and practi-
cal of all the professions. Il farm
ers will cultivate the mind as well
as the soil, perfection in husbandry
will take great strides.
There is much which can come In
as winter work. By all means haul
out the manure. When the weather
will permit, do the pruning and
gather and burn the brush; especi-
ally trim the grape vines. Clean
out the fence rows. The fences can
be repaired; If new ones are to be
built, there are many days in which
posts can be set, especially sharp
ened posts for wire fences.
When corn is frozen before cut
ting the frost expands the stalk and
admits air, and the juices are
oxypenated, and fine weather after
that does not overcome the diff

leave little time to cure the grain
thoroughly. Every farmer who has
ever had frosted corn knows the I'M
portance of cutting early.
A week may have meant all the
difference between good and bad
stand of wheat for the winter. Did
you sow right after the rains, while
the plant food was near the surface?
There is best time in which to do
every stroke of labor on the farm,
and often during the season we gain
or lose by the promptness with which
we do our work.
While you are making a living
YOU must at least be making the
farm better, or you will be nothing
ahead; even your living must soon
cease. When we have been selling
off the fertility of the soil we can

Sheep.

Sheep.
The period Of CESSATION W 18th the
eve is about l59 days. Manage this
to suit the time you have arranged
for your lambs to come into marke
No cure from foot rot can be ex-
pected until the flock is removed to
dry places, and there can be no as
surance of it then. The disease is
often carried until even the uplands
are affected.
Keep ram of one of the mutton
breeds, and sell the lambs when
coming one year old. The man who
can make the most money in sheep
growing will keep flock of ewes
which are crossed with MerinO
blood, annually culling out the older
and poorer, and supplying their
place with the newer and better adj
ditions.
There is no animal which can be
kept with less work than the sheep.
They do not require fences which
are built for bulls, horses or pigs.
There would be less liability to
losses from cholera if farmers IN the
corn belt would divide their herds
of hogs and keep more sheep. This
would also give a better chance to
practice a rotation of crops, for hogs
do not eat hay and do not give the
farmer the best chance to seed in
clover every year. Those who
seek diversity il farming should
keep sheep.
The English have no better sheep
than we, but they do nave better
mutton, and only because they have
better grasses; they feed more care
fully and give better heed to the
needs of their stock, as rule. Their
humid atmosphere has much to do
with their luxuriant pastures.
There will be brighter day for
sheep when the fiockmaster will just
as regularly sow some food every
spring to provide pasture for his
flock as he sows seed to provide food
for them in winter.
