Give the farm name. Have the
name neatly lettered on a signboard
and placed where it can be seen by the
traveller who goes by your place. Then
have some letter heads and envelopes
printed with the name of your farm and
your own thereon, and thus do business
on the farm in business like manner.

 q assure you I had never read 1t be- fore" responded MT Rayner,
 You have read it three times to me, so you cannot say that you never read the statement before" Admiral Dewey-"Remarks will be confined to questions and answers"
 Admiral Evans then, in response to a question from MT Rayner, said that he had been called to the deck of the Iowa on the evening of July by Lieutenant Hill, who was the deck officer and who had called his attention to columns of smoke rising from the entrance to the harbor. The lieutenant had remarked that 1t was his opinion that the Span iards were preparing to come out, but he, Admiral Evans, expressed the opin- ion that they were merely shifting their berths as they had done on previous occasions. However, the signal at that time had been prepared and was kept in readiness all night, saying that the enemy were escaping.
 Mir Rayner then surrendered the witness temporarily, saying that he would have further questions to ask, but that he desired some time to pre- pare them. It was arranged that these questions could be deferred until tomorrow and in the meantime Cap- tain Lemly made some interrogations on re- direct examination. He asked:
 Under what instruction verbal, written or by signal from the flagship Brooklyn did you manoeuvre the Iowa during the naval battle of Santiago July 3, 1882"
 q never saw any signal from her. I did not manoeuvre in obedience to any signal from the Brooklyn I did not see any signals aboard her"
 "Or any written orders or verbal in- structions?"
 None whatever"
 What instructions, oral or written, did you have from Commodore Schley relative to the order of blockade or or der of battle while part of the flying squadron?"
 ''The order of blockade was to form column double distance and cruise in that format tion."
 Was there any prescribed order of battle by which you would have been guided if the enemy's ships had come out of Santiago harbor prior to June 1, 1S9S?"
 There was none"
 Returning to the departure of the fly ing squadron from Cienfuegos, MT. Hanna asked: What steps were talk en, If any, to mask the movements of that squadron in accordance with or ders?"
 There were no lights shown on the flying squadron on blockade, except I believe, we did have a light on the stern of each ship"
 By the court-"Was any further ef- fort made by the flying squadron to de- stroy the Spanish squadron?"
 "None, if by further you mean the action of May 31.'
 Was the fire of the enemy's batteries on the 31st heavy enough to seriously endanger the attacking ship?"
 "No, sir it was not heavy at all The mostly fell long ways short | of us Two, I think passed over my ship

ABLACKSMITH'S STRANGE EX-
PERIENCE.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. E. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been a great sufferer from Rheuma-
tism. He was 50 bad that he could not
sleep for the great pain in his arms
and shoulders. He had been afflicted
for years, but lately he was so much
worse, that he thought he would have
to give up his shop altogether.
Then strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended new med
icine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be q cure for Rheumatism. He
commenced to use them and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is a we'll man to-day, and
entirely free from any symptom OF
Rheumatism.
To say he is thankful, is putting it
very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve great
credit for having cured this very Sc
we're and almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure. as very bad cases of Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheumatism,
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after hav:
ing been given up by the best doctors.

The Fruit Bark Beetle.

A pest discussed at some length
in q recent New York bulletin is the
fruit bark beetle. This was especial
" prevalent last season and did
much damage in peach orchards in
western New York, and in some scat
tered plum and cherry plantations.
On peaches its principal injury was
due to punctures of the bark ON the
trunk and larger limbs, through
which the sap oozed and formed gum
my excrescences. On plum and cher
~, however, more injury was done by
punctures in the twigs, causing death
Of the foliage. The natural home of
this insect is in dead bark, so all
brush piles and dead trees should be
removed from the orchards. Caustic
washes upon trunks and branches
serve as a preventive measure. and
cutting off and burning the infested
twigs destroys many of the beetles.

SADDLES AND HARNESS
Novel Business Enterprise EnGin.
eered by Pushing South
ern Women.

Among the novel occupations of the
feminine breadwinners of the land
none are more diversified and un-:
usual than those undertaken by the
fair ones of the southern states who
have been cast by fortune upon their
own resources. In one of the small
towns in Florida resides the only
woman saddler in America. Upon the
death of her husband, stead of SELL:
ing the "good will and fixtures" ~
her neighbors kindly suggested, the
widow carried on the business, with
tie help of an assistant. Gradually
she mastered every detail Of the
trade and finally succeeded in build
ing up the most lucrative business OF
that kind in the county, not only
maintaining the standard Of work
done by her husband, but long ago
outstripping him in thrift and pros
perity, says southern exchange.
In Georgia q woman not only per-
sonally delivers the mail over a 40
mile route, riding over the sparsely
settled region of Montgomery coun-
ty thrice weekly during the entire
year, but manages a large farm as
we'll, doing much of the manual Ia
Dor, such as blowing, narrowing, SOW
ing and harvesting, and supporting by
her energy and courage family of
four.
Not 20 miles from Savannah as
the crow flies there resides widow
of 40 who for the last ten years has
made more than a comfortable in
come as a government contractor,
bidding for the removal of wrecks,
the anchoring of buoys, building OF
jetties and dredging.
A Virginia girl has made a wide
spread reputation as we'll as good
bank account as trainer Of saddle
horses.
Few people riding over the new
London Northern railway arc aware
that the company employs the only
woman train dispatcher in the world.
Her responsibility is great, her hours
from seven o'clock in the morning to
nine in the evening, her duties con-
tinual nervous and mental strain.
Quite recently the directors of the
road complimented her upon her ef-
ficient service, and it is pleasure to
add that she receives the same COM
pensation as paid to men occupying
similar positions.
