Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant In the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance-or a swollen gland In the
breast, or IN other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nent1y all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the b1ood-every vestage
If it driven out. This S. S. s. does, and
10 theo only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, andsthe
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side of my face. It gave

and soaks into the manure dig little
trench to carry it away.
Build silo or pen for the manure,
as shown in the illustration. Make it
seven or eight feet wide and about
four feet longer at each end than the
windows from which the manure is
thrown. If stock occupy the full
length of the barn the pen will be
as long as the barn. The earth
should be dug out about two feet
deep inside the pen. The deeper the
pile the better it is, but the bottom
cannot be much more than two feet
below ground because of the difficulty
of loading manure on the wagon.
Make the sides of the pen of boards
or small poles and strengthen by
using plenty of upright posts. The
better plan is to put the side boards
inside the posts, as the manure set
ties more compactly.
After the pen is built cover the
surface with one or two feet of muck,
loan or sods and turn in one or two
hogs to tramp it down. The impor-
tant thing is to keep the manure
spread evenly over the surface. The
pigs may do this, but if not it will be
necessary once or twice a week to
spread the manure that piles under
the windows.
The pen should be filled as full as
possible before carting it out, but 1t
cannot be filled above the window
sill without a good deal of work.
When full there is solid block OF
manure about five or six feet deep,
seven or eight feet wide and as long
as the pen. The little rain that has
fallen upon 1t has hardly more than
wet it down in good shape, but when
very heavy rains fall add enough lit
ter or loan to absorb the water.
Never let the water run off the top
of the pile, but add sufficient absorb
ents to keep the pile reasonably dry.
In fact, absorbents must be added
from time to time to take up the
natural moisture il it is largely COW
manure. When thus treated there is
practically no loss from rains and the
sun and wind have not appreciably
hurt it, because of the small surface
exposed. The entire pile becomes
good, solid manure and the loan that
was originally placed at the bottom
is just as good as the rest.
When carting out manure take out
the pigs and take down the side
boards so as to avoid throwing the
manure over the high fence. With the
above arrangement the manure is in
excellent shape-so good, in fact, that
I very much doubt IL roof would
be any material benefit. The larger
the quantity of manure made daily
and the smaller the size OF the pen
in length and width the better will
be the manure. / have used this ar
rangement a number OF years and am
much pleased with it.-Orange Judd

NOTES FOR STOCKMEN.

When the hogs are fat ship to mar
ket or get them into the pork barrel.
The smooth side of a six-wire fence
makes a very poor shelter for colt
or calf that should be growing this
winter.
If so fortunate as to have wean-
ing colt or so see that some wheat
bran or good, clean oats form a part
Of the winter ration.
A colt need not have the range OF
the whole farm in order to have ex-
ercise this winter-a paddock near
the barn will supply the room.
Sheep can stand good degree of
cold if their wool is dry. Give them a
good roof over their heads and free
dom from drafts and they will make
themselves comfortable and be
healthy.
Any hay that is bleached by storm
or long exposure to the weather, If
not moldy or rotten, may be fed out
now-but do not starve any animal to
eat it; feed little ut time and give
grain to tone up its quality.
Glover hay, pumpkins, mangles or
other bulky food will keep the hogs
thrifty and growing through the win
ter. If you have a supply of each it
may be well to feed the pumpkins
first, then the beets and the clover
last or nearest spring.

A Plants Peculiar Effects.

"a curious plant" said an eminen.
botanist to the writer day or two ago,
sis the wild tamarind or junbai plant
of the riverside and waste places OF
tropical America, and very strange are
its effects upon the non-ruminant ami
mails that feed upon its young shoots,
leaves, pods and seeds. 1t causes horses
10 lose the hair from their names and
tails, has a similar effect upon mules
and donkeys, and reduces pigs to COM
plete nakedness. Horses are said to
recover when fed exclusively ON corn
and grass, but the new hair is of differ
ent color and texture from the old, so
that the animal is never quite the same
as it was. One animal, of which per-
sonally knew, after feeding on the
plant lost its hoofs and had to be kept
in sings until they grew and hardened
again. Ruminant animals are not thus
affected, and the growth of the plant
is actually encouraged in the Bahamas
as fodder plant for cattle, sheep and
goats. The difference in its action upon
ruminants and non-ruminants is prob
ably due to changes effected upon it
in the chewing of the cud."-Washing-

A LIFE SAVED.
A Druggists Timely and Straight
Forward Advice Saves the Life
of Prominent Citizen,

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec, 10, 1900 (SpeciaO.
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more uni
versally esteemed than Mr.. S. p. Rush,
Conductor (PresidenD of Holy Name
Court, Number &c.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of its ranks, were, there
FORE much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
tions, and pills, and powders, until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numer-
Gus inquiries being made at his store
for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr..
Rush to buy and try some. This he
did, and to his delight he was restored
to health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commence
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect cure.
81 took nothing else but Dod6's
Kidney Pills during that time, so I
know that I owe Life and health to
them"
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, it will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy that
has never failed to cure Bright's Dis
ease.
Mr.. Rush is just now receiving the
congratulations of his friends, but
always finds time to say good word
for the Medicine that saved his life.

Shooting Clay Through Iron.

through a door must hide its head be-
fore u seven and half ounce plug OF
clay which has been so fired as to
perforate an iron plate an inch thick.
The velocity of the clay plug was tre-

the speed necessary must be over 1900
feet a second. Experiments of this kind
were conducted by Capt. Cooper Key OF
the British army at the royal arsenal.
A special gun was employed and pressed
cylinders of raw dry clay three inches
long and two inches in diameter were
used.-N. Y. Journal.

Sparrow Carriers.

A man in Georgia some time ago
caught some sparrows and trained
them so that he can open their cage
and they will fly back again without
any other inducement than the love of
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mind
that sparrows could be trained to do
the work of carrier pigeons, and that,
as they were smaller, they would be
more valuable in case of war. He gave
one of his sparrows to friend, who
was going distance of $50 miles, and
told him TO free the bird when he had
reached the end of his journey, and at
the same time to telegraph him when
he did so. The bird reached home and
went directly TO its cage, making the
journey in little over an hour and q
half..-Detroit Free Press.

Vests Stolen Pigs,

"Another story that Vest told related to
his candidacy for the legislature in 1861
against A. S. Walker. The canvass was ex-
ceedingly exciting because of the near APP
proach Of war, and all the questions incl
dent to it were discussed with much ami
nation. Charges and counter-charges were
made. Both sides knew that about six
votes either way would determine the con-
test, and on the day before election Walker
raised the point on Vest that he had stolen
some pigs. The only way that Vest could
meet the charge was to acknowledge smil.
ingly that he had the pigs in his pen and
in his possession. If he had gone further
and said that he had bought them--which
they hoped he would do--they had wit
nesses to show that he had not bought
them, but Vest was too shrewd to be caught
in the trap, and turned the accusation off
with laugh and the remark:

CHEAP MANURE PEN.
An Arrangement That Preserves Fer
tilixing Properties and Is Not
Offensive to the Eye,

When there is no barn cellar the
most convenient place for piling
manure that is removed from the
stables daily is against the outside of
the barn, under the caves. The one
operation of shoveling it cut win
dow finishes the job. AS ordinarily
practiced the water from the roof
drenches and washes out the soluble
parts of the manure Gig. y, while
the edges and outside of the pile are
dried by the sun and wind; so that
most of the fertility is lost. But these
conditions are very easily remedied.
