Beautiful, my dear!
 The elderly millionaire who had mar ried the famous beauty regarded the watch chain admiringly.
 "A very delightful birthday present" " he continued, beaming upon his fair young wife. "So massive and yet in such excellent taste."
 "I am so glad you like it," she ob- served ''It was so cheap too. Just think, 1t cost only S15."
 "Only $15w echoed the millionaire, in astonishment. Fifteen dollars for this solid gold chain?'
 "Oh, of course it isn't solid gold, she interposed. You could never get solid gold chain for that price"
 What Is 1t, thenY'
 "why, gold filled, to be sure"

 "Of course you can," she assented. "But this one is guaranteed to last for ten years-and-and"-

Judgment In Feeding Rape.

All rape growers should remember that in turning sheep and lambs for the first time on rape they should go on a full stomach and for the first three or four days remain In the rape field a short time only-say an hour. In this way of introducing them to and ia miliarizing them with the new and very tender and succulent feed, there is not the least danger from bloat, which sometimes occurs when hungry sheep and lambs are allowed to gorge themselves on this palatable plant. During the first few days of rape pas turing the sheep should not be turned in when the plant is wet with dew or rain. Little precautions like these will save possible loss and within week at most give the flock immunity from further danger. The rape field Is a luxury to sheep and a source of great profit to the owner, who can well af- ford to act on the above hints.-Ameri- can Sheep Breeder.

Shape of Pork BarreIM.

It Is about this time of the year that the pork barrel begins to give trouble, because the pork rises to the surface and can no longer be covered by the brine. Why does pork rise late in the season? An old farmer many years ago explained the reason. The pork barrel is made the same shape as any other barrel-that is, with Its sides bulging in the middle and smaller above and below. The proper shape for any barrel to hold pork or beef Is with straight slaves and smaller at the top than at the bottom. 1t Is some what harder to reach down into such a barrel to get out piece of meat, but the pork will keep as good as at first until the last layer is reached. That should be kept down by putting GOV CT on it as large as can be squeezed through the top and weighting it to the bottom layer with heavy stones.-Bos- ton Cultiyator

A LASTING EFFECT.
This Evidence Should Prove
 Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer. but to cure lame, weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure 1t so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it.
 MT. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm street, Amesbury, Mass, says: 'Mrs. Smith, from cold which settled in her loins, suffered so severely from backache that she was unable to attend to the or- dinary household duties, often finding 1t impossible to even make bed for three months. had read great many state ments of residents of Amesbury who pos itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured them of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint. This led me to make some inquiries, and as re- suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course of the treatment. It cured her. It is SO long ago that I am confident the results are permanent. We never lose an oppor- tunity of advising others who suffer from either weakened or over-excited kidneys to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we know of scores in and around Amesbury who have taken our advice and were not only surprised but gratiied at the bene- fits received" ...-.

MODERN BACON HOG.

MODERN BACON HOG.
 slow maturing hog that the Tamworth bacon hog is supposed by many to be, but in the hands of those who were aiming to get the maximum amount of meat of the finest quality this breed has become type of hog that feeds as kindly, natures as quickly and yields more lean meat than any other type of hog known.
 In a number of breed tests conducted by various experiment stations where the Tamworth, the bacon type, was fed the following results were obtained. which may be of interest: At Geneva, N. r., 1t was found that the average cost of pork from the PolandChina for three years was 4.01 cents per pound, and from the Tamworth at the same time and for the same length of time 1t was but 3.S1 cents per pound.
 In averaging the results obtained from the Maine, Massaehusetts an On tario experiment stations. where Berk- shires, Poland -Chinas, Tamworths, Chester Whites and Duroc-Jerseys were fed, 1t was found that the Po- land Chinas required 407 pounds of food to produce 100 pounds of grain. the Berkshires 419 pounds, the Tam worths APO pounds, the Chester Whites 500 pounds and the Duroc-Jerseys 522 pounds.

 Cooperating.
 Manila, Nov. S.-General Wheaton sailed Monday for the gulf of Lingayen. His orders were to land at or near San Fabian. fishing village 20 miles north east of Dagupan. The Filipino force there only numbered about 300 men, intrench- ed, whereas at Dagupan there are some thousands of insurgents and five miles of strong trenches. The Mounts river is blockaded.
 General Wheaton is supposed to have landed, though communication with him is not yet established. The weather has been good since he started, and he should have been able to take the trenches with out great loss of life. From San Fabian General Wheaton can control the roads of escape from Tarlac to the northeast, making a june ton with General Lawton.
 It is thought this will interfere with Aguinaldo's natural line of retreat to the north, as all the other mountain passes are not available for heavy transporta ton.
