MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The Wife and Mother-in-Law of Mr..
Charles Keys.

Clarissa, Mimi, April. Is (SpeciaD.
No family in this vicinity IS better
known or more universally respected
than Mr.. Charles Keys, the local School
Teacher, and his estimable wife, and
mother-in-law. For a long time, Mrs.
Keys has been in i'll health. Recently,
however, she has found cure for her
ailments in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Il cannot speak too highly of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, or of what they have done
for me- said Mrs. Keys.
"My life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. Twas troub-
led with Neuralgia in the head and face
and suffered extreme pain, but thanks
to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all those aches
and pains have vanished like the morn
ing dew, and it now seems that life is
worth living. I consider Dodd's Kid
ney Pills a God-send to suffering ku-
manity. They may rightly be named
the Elixir of Youth.
''While speaking of my own case and
the wonderful benefit I have received,
[ might also add, that my mother, who
is now an old lady of "a years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, as is nat
ural with one of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me, she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
"This testimony is given in the hope
that others who may be afflicted as we
were, may see and read it, and be bene-
flied by it,
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any of
her many friends in this neighhorhood
Dodd's Kidney Pills have already a
wonderful reputation in Todd County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodds
Kidney Pills.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE.
Cannot Be WaEed Against the
Ubiquitous Hen Louise.

So much has been said and written on
the topic of hen lice, and so many rem
edies advertised, that it really seems
| as though the louise would be annihi-
| lated, but still it is ever present with
us.
1 built a very large new poultry
house, lined it's sides and ceiling with
tarred building paper, built new roosts,
moved the hens in, and in four months
| found the whole building swarming
with the spider louise or mite.
The mite is smaller than a pinhead,
resembles a young spider in form, is
bright red when full of blood, and
| breeds on the roosts, walls and floor
| of the hen houses, and at night preys
on the poultry and saps the life from
| them.
They are sure death to young chicks,
| will cause setting hens to leave their
eggs, and are the worst enemy of the
| poultry keeper.
[ got the pests with some thorough
bred poultry purchased which taught
me in future to buy eggs, and get my
new blood that way, and run no risk of

What to do | hardly knew, rs the
building was large and new and tarred
paper did not daunt them.
| [ drove out the poultry, closed the
building, took a pail of kerosene, a
whitewash brush, and went all over
| the wood parts, wetting them thor
| oughly, then [ smoked the building for
ten days with a sitting sulphur smoke.
After two weeks | found the ground
floor simply alive with the lively mites;
then | took a barrel of slaked lime I
happened to have, and spread it about
an inch deep al over the floor, and
that killed them.
You ask why 1 did not use some of
the advertised lice killers? Because
the expense would have been too great.
Still | would advise using them where
the building is small. I find the foun-
| dation Of all the lice remedies ] have
| used consists of tar, kerosene, sulphur
and roaddust, and [ see no necessity
! Of purchasing it ready mixed.-Clara

THE ARTICHOKE CROP.
Farmers in the South and Southwest
Are Beginning to Recognize
Value of the Tubers

Artichokes should be planted in the
early spring. The land best suited to
their growth is a sandy loan, but they
may be successfully grown on any kind
OF land except heavy, stiff clay. The
land should be deeply broken and har-
rowed fine, and the tubers planted in
burrows like Irish potatoes-say, fur
rows three feet apart, and the tubers
two feet apart in the rows. The sets
may be cut like Irish potatoes, with
two or three good eyes left on each
piece. The crop should be cultivated
once or twice and the land kept level.
On good land the stalks will grow to
height of six feet or more, and they
will thus shade the land and keep down
weeds.
The crop suffers very little from
drought, and can be relied on to make
from 300 to 600 bushels to the acre on
land that will make 25 to so bushels of
corn to the acre. If the land is poor.
and a fertilizer is used it should be
one having a high percentage of pot
ash-say, from six to eight per cent
with SIX or seven per cent. of phos
phoric acid and two or three per cent.
of nitrogen.
1t more of the tubers are grown than
are needed for the hogs they will be
found an excellent feed for milking
cows, for which purpose they must be
dug or plowed out of the ground and
stored in pits or kilns like Irish pota-
toes. Seed should be saved in the same
way. by blowing up few rods be-
fore turninr, in the hogs. The hogs
should not be turned into the crop too
early, is the tubers continue to grow
and increase in size and quantity until
late in the fall. They are not easily
hurt by frost when left in the ground.
and in the south the hogs car usually
root out the crop all winter Some
growers write us that they use the
tops as long feed for stock, but we hear
from other growers that stock will not
eat them readily.
There is no fear of the crop becom-
ing troublesome weed, as some have
suggested, as it is easily killed out by
blowing the land after the tubers have
begun to grow in the spring. Let them
make a growth of six or eight inches of
stalk, then pillow the land and seed to
sonss other crop, and there will be no
further, trouble with it.-Southern
Platter.

age. It cures when all other remedies
fail. I can heartily recommend Pc
runa as catarrh remedy
The spring is the time to treat ca
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards cure of catarrh. If course
of Peruna is taken during the early
spring months the cure will be prompt
and permanent. There can be no fail
ures if Peruna is taken intelligently
during the favorable weather of
spring.
