As a result of the ~changeab,e climate,

Of the United States are afflicted with

THE TEACHERS WIFE.

Clarissa, MINI, Oct. 2sth.-Mrs. Clara
Keys, wife of Chas. Keys, school teach
er of this place, tells a wonderful story,
For years her life was one of misery
Her back ached all the time, her head
ached all the time; neuralgia pains
drove her. to desperation. She used
much medicine, but failed to get any
relief till she tried Dodd' Kidney Pills.
She says:
every soon after I began using
Dodd's Kidney Pills all my aches and
pains vanished like the morning dew.
I consider this remedy God-send to
suffering womanhood.'
Encouraged by their success in her
own case, Mrs. Keys induced her
mother, an old lady of "a years, to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills for her many
aches and pains. Now both mother
and daughterrejoiceinpe perfect freedom
from illness or suffering which is some
thing neither had enjoyed for years
before.

WINTER PROTECTION.
Bees Must BE Kept Dry and Warm
and Supplied with an Album.
dance Of Honey.

Bees in winter must be kept dry and
warm. Honey is their. firewood as
well as their food. The colder they
get, the more honey they will eat.
Protection is cheaper than honey.
These frosty mornings send the un-
protected swarms to the fuel pile. If
you have chat cushions, put them on
at once. If you can do nothing else,
get old boxes and turn them upside
down over the hives. This will keep
off the wind, snow and rain and be a
great help. Be sure to keep the fly
hole open, for they need pure air.
Several winters ago a great many
bees died in this section. To ascertain
the cause Visited number Of large
apiaries. found dead swarms only
in hives that had moisture in them.
This got in either by the hive being in
contact with the ground, or by frost,
caused by snow banking against the
hive. went home and built a bee
house in which packed the hives in
sawdust, since which have never had
case of winterlkill and never expect
It. It is as cruel to freeze and starve
to death these little friends of ours as
other larger dreatures.-W. L. Ander-
son, in Farm and Home.

Turkey I'm Popular Favor.

What now plead for are large
boned, well marked turkeys of reason
able weights for exhibition purposes,
but do not demand of us the over-fat
exhibition birds for breeders, for if
you do you will be disappointed in the
fertility of eggs and the vitality of the
stock Matched therefrom. If we were
oil fanciers, we might contend for the
excessive weights, as it would not be
necessary to raise SO many turkeys
If only the fancier were interested,
but the turkey is the national bird for
the festive board, and the American
people call every year for greater
and greater supply. Few demand a
40-pound turkey, while millions use
the lighter weights for table pur-
poses; hence claim that even the
fancier should be practical in his ideas,
for the masses look to him as teach
er on these subjects.-Mrs. Bette

Paradise for sportsmen.

can be no better place suggested than the
Pocono mountains, lying in the northeast

the latter without acquiring the former.
The elevation Of the mountains varies from
1000 to 1000 feet, and are one dense growth
Of pine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other
large game are plentiful, and though the
region is visited by thousands Of sportsmen
every year, there seems to be no noticeable

THE SULTAN IS A COWARD.
Turkish Ruler Lives in Constant Ter
ror I'm . Palace Proof Against
Any Attack.

Once when the prince of Samos was
retiring from an audience he stumbled
in his backward steps and fell. In q,
moment the sultan had pressed a
spring behind him. The wall opened
and he vanished within, safe from the
suspected attack, says Eyerybody's
Magazine.
Abrupt gestures in the sultan's pres
ence often cost dear. Several victims
are mentioned, one gardener in the
royal park, whom Abdul shot dead for
rising too quickly to an attitude of re-
spect. Another time he found the child
of q palace domestic playing with his
mislaid revolver, and he had her tor
tured in the hope of revealing plot.
His magnificent yildiz is monument
to fear. It is assassin proof, bomb
proof, earthquake proof, freproof, nil
crobe proof. Architects and engineers
are building and rebuilding incessant-
". Some new secret retreat is always
under way.
The entire domain is surrounded by
an immense wall, 80 feet high, and the
choicest troops of the empire stand
guard around it. An inner wall IL feet
thick, with gates of iron. incloses the
private residence itself.
The walls of his own dwelling are
filed with armor plate, in case of pro-
iectiles. It is said that mysterious
passage connects with ten secret bed
chambers, forming an intricate laby-
rinth. No one but his body attendant
knows where the sultan may sleep dur
ing any particular night.
He has electric lights and telephones
in his own apartments, but forbids
them in Constantinople. Telephones
might prove handy for conspirators,
and he believes that a dynamite car
fridge could be sent over wire into
the palace. He fears electric explo-
sions, so Constantinople still gets
along with gasight.

SCIENCE m BREEDING.
WY some well-lGsaniae Psultry
1aiseFs FAN In Their ERoEts
to Produce 0ooa stock.

In reading poultry journals Il read
only about half . dozen) often
come across articles advocating q
cross between pure bred fowls apd
questions about which breeds to
cross. Some people seem to think
that cross breeds are healthier and
are better layers than pure breeds.
Why don't they cross mongrels on
mongrels? There are many docks Of
mongrels not related to each other,
and they ought to get what they
want that way, but they know or
seem to think that pure breeds are
doing better work for most Of their
owners than any mongrels. Why
don't they get pure bred fowls then?
They may know Of certain breeders
who have inbred their fowls and lost
many Of their fine fowls by disease,
and that sets them against pure
breeds. So they get pure bred light
Brahams from Mr.. A, who has
large, healthy Brahmas, and pure
bred brown Leghorns of Mr.. B.
and mate light Brahma cockerel
with brown Leghorn pullets. Such an
experimenter may get lots Of eggs
that hatch we'll, the chicks may grow
fast and the breeder may feel con.
tented, but there is not much even.
ness in size or color of young stock.
This he does not like the best, but it
makes no difference as long as they
do well other ways. If he keeps on
breeding from these same fowls he
will soon have inbred fowls and the
worst kind Of mongrels. But most
Of them go no further than the first
cross, which is all right for crossing.
But why cross breed when you can
get pure breeds from two different
strains and have an even lot Of
chicks just as healthy as you ask for
If they have been cared for rightly?
By introducing new blood from q
third, fourth, etc., strain las you
need it) you will still have pure
breeds. We all agree, of course, that
by this method we can establish no
special type Of fowl nor expect any
show birds worth speaking of.
But here is the breeder who must
cross breed two p1re-bred breeds. If
you must do this, for the looks sake
cross two pure white breeds, two
black breeds or two buff breeds.
This will give you chicks of uniform
color. Or get nearer to it by cross
ing two white, black or buff breeds
with the same style of comb, same
color of shanks or that lay the same
color of eggs. This will give you
more uniformity in their production.
One who cross breeds is not fan
cier by any means. We all like to see
evenness in the looks of flock OF
chickens, and we like it better still
when we can say that the birds are
pure breeds. believe that, with ex-
ira vigor, fowls can be inbred several
generations with no noticeable bad
results. You can inbred without
line breeding, but you cannot line
breed without inbreeding. Line
breeders must get new blood, but
they get It from birds bred in line
for the same object for which they
are breeding, writes Arthur C. Crosse.

POULTRY HOUSE HALLWAY.


Stats. The eggs are gathered from
the hallway, and there is no need to
go into the coops except to clean the
droppings board, renew the litter,
etc. It is good plan to hang cloth
curtains in front of the opening of
each nest box, leaving V-shaped
slat in each curtain to admit enough
light to the boxes to invite the hen
to enter, but not enough to make it
uncomfortable for the hen or to in
duce egg eating. A hen likes a dark
ened and secluded place in which to
lay eggs, and will begin to lay earlier
in the season and will actually lay
more eggs in such place than in an
open nest that is exposed to the
light and to every passer-by.-Poul-
try Keeper.

Honey II q Perfect Food.

Few people know that honey pos
sesses great value as food on ac-
count of its ease of digestion and is
especially desirable for those with
weakened digestive powers. The nec-
tar of flowers is almost entirely cane
sugar. The secretions added by the
bees change this to grape sugar, and
so prepare it that it is almost ready
for assimilation without any effort on
the part Of the stomach. The unpleas-
ant symptoms from which some silf-
fer after eating honey may often be
removed by drinking little milk.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARROTS.

"A strip is prepared from carrots.
Carrot is easy of digestion, and
gently laxative.
Boiled carrot is used as a poultice for
foul sores, and as vermifuge.
Carrots, when cut into small pieces
and roasted, are occasionally used az
substitute for coffee in Germany.
A strong ardent spirit is distilled
from carrots in some parts of Europe,
ten pounds of carrots yielding about
half pint.
In the reign Of Charles I. ladies wore
carrot leaves as an ornament instead
of feathers; and the beauty Of the
leaves is still acknowledged by placing
root, or the upper portion of one, in
water, that it may throw out young
leaves to adorn apartments in winter.

Mrs. Blake's
Thanksgiving

"Oh, dear me, SUI! If that hain't too
bad!' Mrs. Betsey Blake cried in al
most fearful vexation as she stepped
backward from the stove and with a
rueful face regarded thin stream Of
water trickling from crack low down
on the side of the wash boiler and
sputtering into a cloud Of steam on the
hot stove. "John," she called In voice
full Of trouble, ''the b'iler's leakin' like
mad, an it looks as if just nothin' short
of tinker could stop it."
Her husband came into the kitchen
from the woodshed at leisurely pace
and with an air Of confidence In his
ability to cope with any number of
Ieaky boilers. But as he examined the
irregular fissure his face took ON puz-
Zled and then a more serious express
sion.
''Maybe you might stick a rag into
it," he suggested.
"No, not in such shaped hole as
that" she said decisively and began
dipping the water out into a pail.
you've got to take it to the village
an have it soddered, an that's all
there is about it. It'll just spoil the
day, so / can't wash afore tomorrow,
an tbat'll put back my Thanlsgivin'
work. Hain't it too bad? Dear me, 1
most wish we hadn't asked father an
mother an Abigail to come"
"Well, I'm sorry it's happened so, but
never mind. You'll fetch things round
all right. You gen'ally do," said he, so
confidently that her spirits rose above
the present disappointment.
81 can do some of tomorrow S work
today an be so much ahead" she said,
and before he was on his way she had
half a pumpkin pared and stewing in
the place of the boiler.
Next morning the mended boiler was
reinstated. By noon the delayed wash
ing was completed, and Betsy Blake
looked out complacently from her be-
lated dinner upon the long array of
spotless clothes futtering from the
swaying line like triumphant banners.
In the afternoon part of the ironing
was done, and the next morning she
