Pneumonia Prevented

Among the tens of thousands who
have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
for colds and la grippe during the past
few years, to our knowledge, not a single
case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos.
Whitfield & Co., 240 Wabash avenue,
Chicago. one of the most prominent re-
tail druggists in that city, in speaking of
this, says: "We recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for la grippe in
many cases, as it not only gives prompt
and complete recovery, but also counter
acts any tendancy of la grippe to result
in pneumonia" For sale by Perry &
DotJ.

Weed Out Poor Cows.

A large milk producer in Ulster coun-
ty, n. Y, says: lin 1883 my COWS aver
aged 1000 quarts per COW, and the
milk cost me $40 cents per quart.
Last year the yield was 1854 quarts
per cow, and the cost per quart was
only 1 40 cents, or reduction of eX-
actly one-half." This result was brought
about by wedding out the poor COWS
and putting good ones in their place.
70 know the good from the bad the
milk of each cow was weighed and
tested at regular intervals.

The artichoke has nothing to do with
art or the choking Of it. The artichoke
is an innocent vegetable, known to the
Arabians as the ardischauki, or earth
thorn. The Jerusalem artichoke was
never seen near Jerusalem. It's first
name is corruption of the Italian gi-
rasole, which means turning to the sun.
1t is a species of sunf1ower, bearing
tuber like that of potato.

Sailing the Cow.

Give a little salt each day, the
amount depending upon what the cow
can use, says American Agriculturist.
Usually this varies from one to two
tablespoonfuls. The salt increases the
flow Of saliva and consequently should
be given with the feed for then it will
be instrumental in aiding digestion.
