The internal appearance OF the
church building has been very much
improved by papering and other
changes much needed for long time.
This was accomplished through the
energy and perseverance OF the ladies.
The congregation has raised its appor-

is a somewhat hackneyed term as applied to
railroad trains, but it accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains of the Chicago & Alton K. r. Co.
which were placed in daily service between
Chicago and st. Louis, November Is, 1899
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
4 Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, sixty-six feet in length; ,
combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi
cago & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buff
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa-
ton car, each of which is seventy-two feet
six inches in length. The framing of all
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide yestibules, standard steel plat
forms and anti-telescoping device. All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe-
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, etc., are of special
design. 1t is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited. An ex-
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.

HERE AND THERE.

No farmer who attempts to
to use plenty of water, whether fed
with bran, turnips, corn, or alone, and
when this is done, good and not evil
results will follow.
When all farm work was single
handed and FROM daylight until dark,
farmers had little time for mental inn
provement, and none for the study of
agricultural science. 1t is different
now, when labor-saving implements
are everywhere, and cheap
Extra large cocks, of any breed,
are not the best for breeding pur-
poses. Rather select those of medium
size, full of life, activity and agrees
siveness. Look to the hens for size
OF progeny, and TO cocks for vigdr,
style and the ability to reproduce their
like.
Cotton is now bringing the farm
er from S35 to $40 per bale for lint and
seed. At this price there is some
profit in growing the staple. 1t is
thought the price will go to eight
cents per pound before the season
ends.
Watch the pullets the first season,
and eat those who do not lay well;
then watch the hens and treat them
the same way. 1t doesn't pay to feed
drcnes. A surplus of cocks should be
guarded against, as they are dead
expense, without any compensating
profit.
1t is said that the common Next
can milk goat is the only animal
known, domestic or wild, that never
gets sick. This wonderful immunity
from disease has been attributed to the
fact that these animals have singular
instinct that enables them to detect
and avoid impure water or food.
The enormous cost of the craze
for the remains of birds for orna-
menting ladies' hats was well illustrate
ed the past season, in the total de-
struction Of thousands of acres of cot
ton and the serious damage to large
fields of corn by worms which the
slaughtered birds would have eaten.
The best time to destroy trees or
vines, root and branch. is to cut them
down when the sap first begins to
show in swelling buds, and before the
buds open. Numerous experiments
with great number of species con-
firm this theory. Neither the moon
nor the signs of the zodiac have any
thing to do with it.
1t is estimated by Prof. Beal that
the sparrows of Iowa consume every
year SIS tons of weed seeds. The cal
culation is based in the ascertaincd
contents of great number of stom-
achs and the estimated number of
sparrows in the state. What lot of
work this destruction of weeds las
saved the farmers of that stated

But great many have pulled the fod>
der and to these we desire to offer a
few thoughts. You have only lost the
expense OF pulling the fodder and the
damage to your corn. Your stalks are
still on hand and well worth saving.
They will make good hay yet.
Experiment shows that the stalks
are worth shredding, even whcE they
have stood in the field until January.
Then we say do not pull your corn.
Cut the stalks with the corn on them
and let the shredder shuck the corn
and make hay of the stalk and shucks.
This will be about as good hay as
that cut with fodder on.
You are farming for profit. You
have made these stalks. They are
worth something. Why lose it? If
you have several hundred dollars
worth of cotton in the field you would
pick and gin and haul and seed it.
Now ii will not cost you any more to
cut and haul your cornstalks and have
them turned into hay. Why not do
this?
With many of you the answer will
be: Eve have no shredder" I'M
fortunately that is true. But as there
is no haste about this matter you can
yet arrange to get one or get some one
to come and shred for you.
In very many communities the par
ties who threshed your grain can well
afford to get shredders and go around
shredding just as they did threshing.
1t will pay just as well or a good
deal better, for the cornstalk crop is
larger than the grain crop.
You can feed or sell it,. In much of
the country feed-stuffs are short. This
will greatly help supplement this short
supply. In every part of the country
cattle are in great demand. This hay
will help to feed the cattle and thus
turn into money and bring a large
profit But if you are abundantly sup
piled with food-stuffs, you can find a
ready market for cornstalk hay OF
good prices. The cornstalks are a
part of your crop and should no more
be thrown away than the corn of cot
tonseed or any other hay.
Shredders are not very costly.
From 500 to $40 will buy one.
Several neighbors can club together
and buy. Or one can buy and shred
for the others and thus soon pay for
his machine.
1t has been estimated that the corn
stalks of Georgia are equal in value
to the guano bills and taxes. These
are quite large bills. The guano bill
is approximately seven millions of dol
lars. The state taxes are about three
and half millions. So we see that
the cornstalks are worth,if turned into
hay, about ten millions of dollars.
Now add to this for the other states
and you will find that the total for the
south is about sixty millions of dol
lars. This is worth saving. The cost
of saving and marketing would not be
very great.
''Save all your make" should be the
motto of every farmer.
At present these stalks are almost
entirely wasted. True they are worth
something as manure when not burned
and cattle get small part of them for
food.
Too much is lost. Look TO your own
| interest and save yours.-Southern
Cultiyator.

D1sposING OF CORN STALKS.
Experiment Has shown that Corn
stalks arc worth Shedding
for Fodder.

As this is new idea down south
we think it will not be amiss to discuss
it over and over. Again we call the
attention of our readers to the value of
the cornstalks in the fields.
Those who did not pull fodder but
cut their corn are on the right line.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For The
Cause.

Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American bus
iness life, it is more often the result Of
weak stomachs, of poor digestion
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is feeling
of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation OF
food
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
Clements in pleasant, convenient FORM
1t IS safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little

early morning the Senate adopted the

was adopted providing that, with spe-
cific exceptions, after midnight last
