1t is remarkable how persistently
men u ONE will stick to a drug
through thick and thin, even after they
become convinced that the drug is
slowly killing them.
This is Illustrated thousands of
times every day. A sample case is that
of +. l.. Wolford, of Columbus. o.,
who says that all his life, since a boy
when he began drinking coffee, he has
been anything but robust, or even in
what might be termed good health.
He has tried all sorts of drugs and
tonics, and consulted many doctors.
He quit tobacco, avoided all intox-
icating drinks, stopped eating pastry,
and took life easy as far as work was
concerned, but the same old trouble
continued and he could not get well.
He stuck to the coffee because he
said, Il could not do without it. The
climax came just about a year ago. I
went all to pieces with nervous pros
tration, neurasthenia and insomnia.

Holland.

IhuEC
Mildred Holland will play a return
engagement at the Opera House next
Monday, April LIST, in her new and
magnificent production of Theodore
Kremer's romantic drama, 1.-THE. Power
Behind the Throne" Miss Holland
has been seen in past season in a d.
versified lot of characters, from Shakes
pearian roles under Augustin Days
management, to her last brilliant char
acter success, Fan-Fan, in Two Little
Migrants which she made a compan-
ion piece to the 1.-TWO Orphans" The
1.-TWO Little Migrants" has been one of
the most popular melodramas ever pro-
duced on the American stage, and for
four years Miss Holland was the mag
net that attracted the sympathy and
affection of the theatre-goers to this
play. Last year she alternated the
character of Fan-Fan with that of
Helene in the same play, and her
transition from pants to p%etticoats was
as natural as it was artistic. This
year, however, Miss Holland will have
a more serious and legitimate role, and
the critics who have seen her in her
new character, that of Aria, in "The
Power Behind the Throne" pronounce
it one of the most artistic stage tri-
umphs Of the season.

Turninr PIE. into Pastnre.

Harvey johnson, of Iowa, says:
When our filters are of sufficient age
to turn out we usually put two and
sometimes three Iitters together in a
pasture where there is a good warm
and dry building and plenty of good
grass. Near where the sows feed is
a small inclosure with low trough
in it, and by little persuasion and
some tempting bits Of food we expect
to have the pigs feeding nicely at three
to four weeks of age. The feed is in
creased as their capacity for handling
IL is increased, but we are careful TO
underfeed rather than overfeed-feed-
ing no more at any time than they will
eat clean. We allow them TO run with
the dams till they wean them, unless
we wish to breed the sows again.

FEED-sAyING HOG TROUGH.

ward wallowing down for an after
some, troughs after the plan of the il
lustraton herewith. Now the runts
and young hogs have an equal chance
with the larger ones, providing, of
course, that the trough is long enough
or there are enough troughs to accom-
modate them in line abreast.
For the trough proper you can as
well utilize the old ones as to build
new. New ones may be made of one,
one and a half or two-inch lumber, as
best suits convenience. Use two by
four or two by six for the ground
pieces at ends, rest the ends OF trough
on them (if very long an additional
piece in center is advisable,) then
spike on uprights two by two or two
by three, touching edges of trough for
rigid support, and on this nail cross
pieces, bracing if necessary. On these
crosspieces lay a board, or boards, and
nail fast The upright pieces should
be made long enough to allow the
larger hogs to get their heads between
the board and the edge of the trough
and reach the bottom. This prevents
climbing ON or into the trough and
eliminates the crowding feature
This style of trough also makes an
excellent arrangement for watering
poultry, and as a fted-trough prevents
the fowls from getting in with their
feet and mussing up and scattering out
the feed. When properly placed, too,
it furnishes certain amount of
shade for the water in the summer.
The trough for either use is kept up
out of mud usual about such n feeding
place, and preserves the wood from
rotting.-Farm and Fireside.

An Iowa correspondent wants to
know whether we would advise stack
ing corn fodder out-of-doors. We GER
tainly do not advise such. a practice, If
the idea is 10 stack the fodder in the
same way that hay is usually stacked
in the western states; that is, by build
ing it up in ricks and leaving itexposed
to the fall and winter storms. If fod-
der is cut when in proper condition,
and left in the shocks until it is thor
oughly cured, it can then bestacked un-
der cover to very good advantage; but
a far better practice would be to get a
good shredder and run she fodder
through it, and then you will have as
nice feeding product as you wouldcare
to handle; besides in this way you save
the expense of hnsking the corn by
hand.-Prairie Farmer.

VOLUNTEER TRAcK-wALKER.
Queer Character Who Thinks He IL
an indispensable Employe of
the Southern Pacific.

"Did you ever hear of the s. P.'s
track walker between Deming and
Yuma?" asked an S. p. conductor of
"Ling and Pin" "He is queer char
acter," continued the conductor when
he had received negative reply, land
passengers often ask who he is, be-
cause of the frequency of his being
seen on the road and his strange APP
pearance. / have seen him many
times at different points on the road
and have heard that he is locoed
individual who thinks that he is en-
ployed as sort of inspector of way,
or track walker, by the Southern Pa
cific company and that he has to
walk continually over the road from
Deming to Yuma and back, and he
sometimes gets as far down as Ell
Paso, but had never an opportunity
to speak to him until few days ago.
/ then asked him several questions
regarding his past life and his imag-
mary job.
''He is tall, slim man, and wears
his hair, which is streaked with gray,
long, and his face is never clean. But
he is harmless old fellow, and
everybody humors him; in fact, the
people along the route which he has
been travelling continually since 1882
feed him and give him cast-off cloth
ing. He told me that his name was
James G.>Drumgold, and that he was
so years old. He said he came down
from California to accept his pres
ent job from the Southern Pacific, and
that he had a brother living in that
state. He said he also had two sis
tiers living in New York. He seems
to be well educated and writes an
excellent hand. His lunacy does not
but his appearance betrays it, and
the fact that he travels afoot over
that long, dry stretch of railroad
track through the summer and win
ter and has been doing SO for 10
years, proves that he is mentally un-
balanced.
"Trainmen have asked him to ride,
but he says he could not attend to
his duties il he rode. / believe that
if he should find something wrong
with the track he would flag any
train that might be approaching the
dangerous spot, and thus prevent a
wreck, but il such n case has ever
happened have never heard of it,.
The railroad men all know him, and
he is known by several different
nicknames, but very few people know
his right name"

ABUNDANCE OF FORAGE.
Orchard Grass Yields II Year After
Year and REQUIRES Hardly Any
Attention.

Can anyone tell why orchard grass,
one of the most common as we'll as
one of the most valuable forage plants
in the United States, is not better
known and more appreciated? Many
farmer does not even recognize il at
sight, though he has had chance to OBJ
serve 1t all his life. A veritable gypsy,
it has found a home in every country of
Europe and America, in northern
Africa and in Asia. Cheerfully adapt
ing itself to all soils and conditions,
1T fourishes in wet or dry weather,
sun or shade, and in porous subsoil
Will send its roots to great depth.
This perhaps accounts for it's per-
sistence. When once it has secured
foothold it may be relied upon to
yield an abundance of forage year aft
er year with no attention except that
it thrives best under cropping. In the
spring it Is fit for pasturage consider
ably earlier than other grasses, and
five days growth will give good bite.
Its blossoming season is the same as
that of red clover, and they are fire.
quently sown together by farmers
who have learned the value of the COM
bination. A Kentucky stock grower
who relies upon it for his pastures
once said relative to it's capacity for
sustaining itself when other grasses
are dried up: 1T will make more
growth in one summer day than blue
grass will make in a week" Such a
commentator from the land of the
famous blue grass pastures is surely
great tribute to its.good qualities.
A farmer in northern Ohio has writ
ten enthusiastically of piece of orch
ard grass on his own farm which seed
ed itself 26 years ago and which has
been cut annually every June since.
This season it stood higher than any
rye in the vicinity and was so heavy
that it lodged. For early soiling and
long pasturage he considers it supe-
rior to any other grass, but he utters
caution about cutting it as soon as
matured, for If allowed to get dead
ripe it is of little account.
Like other drought resisting grasses
it shows disposition to grow in tus-
socks, but this may be prevented by
thorough preparation of the ground
before sowing and an abundance of
seed uniformly distributed. Two
bushels of seed to the acre are usually
considered sufficient, or half that
amount when sown with clover. IL
is said to be much less exhausting to
the soil than timothy, which is SO often
grown with clover. 1t was Introduced
into England from Virginia in 1864,
and is there SO highly esteemed that it
has taken rank as one of the most
valuable forage plants produced in
the tight little island" The lux
uriance of its aftermath makes it es-
pecially fine for pastures, and stock of
all kinds relish it. Sheep, it is said,
will leave all other grasses to feed
upon it.-Farmer's Review.
