MACHINE VoTIyG.-It is proba
bic the election in this state in 1900
will be conducted with machine
voting. The legislature has bill
before it for that purpose. 1t would
be an improvement on the present
system and would lessen expenses
largely. The machines have been
adopted and city election held
with them at X ,chester, n r., and
found to work admirably, prevent
ing any possibility OF fraud in voting
or counting, as the indicator counts
each vote as fast as east, and the
result is known "a soon as the polls
are closed.
Some politicians, however, claim
that nearly all the elections are de-
termined now, by machines" be-
fore election day, which TO an QUE

By Absorption.

Catarrhal sufferers should remember that
Ely's Cream Balm is the only catarrh remedy
which is quickly and thoroughly absorbed by
the diseased membrane. 1t does not dry up
the e'secretions but changes them TO a limpid
and odorless condition, and finally to a natu-
raj and healthy character.
The Balm can be found at any drug store,
or by sending so cents to Ely Brothers, 81
Warren St., New York, it will be mailed.
Full directions with each package.
Cream Balm opens and cleanses the--nasal
passages, allays inflammation, thereby stop
ming, pain in the head, heals and protects the
membrane and restores the senses of taste
and smell. The Balm is applied directly into
the nostrilS.

When the weeds, stalks and grass are

1t is the high grade in all farm pro-
ducts which yields the most. While
the tendency to buy cheap things is

reducing the quality. There is always

Where the average farmer has one
good COW he has five poor ones, and or
the strength of the one which is good
he forgives the rest, and brags on the
excellence of his herd. No progress
can be made in dairying until the farm
er recognizes that certain of his COWS
are good for nothing, and that he must
get rid of them.

Grasses are soil builders and are
natures cover for bare spots on the
land. They gather nitrogen from the
air, produce humus and bring up from
the subsoil potash and phosphoric acid
which is stored in available form for the
use of whatever crops may follow.

We fall out with the hoe, but it is be-
cause we so seldom have it in working
order. There is no better tool than a

frequent shaving off of the weeds will
destroy them sooner than pulling them
out by the roots to lie and take hold

Do not let land go undrained, even if
kept only for pasture. Drained land
will keep a thicker soil, will grow bet
ter grass and more of it than that which
has not been drained. Wet, heavy lands
make a rank growth of grass, bnt it is
scant in nutritive qualities.

1t is bad time to neglect the sows
when about to drop their pigs, or to let

Five feeds day for the first month
after weaving, to the pigs, is not too

If the land is rich enough, there is no

There is nothing better to do than to

Even the poor farmers can afford to
