THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these Is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of it's curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
Uty.,fue highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

A DRUMMER ON PROHIBITION.

It is generally assumed that trav-
cling men do not take kindly to the
Vermont liquor law; hence CONVEX
sation recently overheard on one of
the Vermont railroads seemed some
what significant. The participants
were a conductor, whose run takes
him across the line between Vermont
and New York, and two commercial
travellers.
The first of the drummers began an
Indictment of the Vermont law with
the stock argument that prohibition
does not prohibit. The conductor
followed with the worn out statements
that it drives trade into New York,
ruins the hotel business and sends
Vermont men across the line to get
drunk.
The third drummer heard them
quietly until there was lull in the
conversation and then remarked:
"Gentlemen, I don't agree with you.
My business takes me about the coun-
try, and [ have kept my eyes open,
and have, [ believe, viewed the mat
ter fairly and without prejudice. I
am New Yorker, but I am free to
say wish we had your liquor law. If
the hotel business is bad in Vermont,
at least you don't have Raines law
"hotels." If men go to New York to
get drunk, it's better than having
them drunk on your own streets. AS
go from your state to my own I can
not but be struck with the difference,
and it's all in favor Of Vermont. You
handle this thing better than we do.
If you want an example look at your
city of Burlington, and then at any
city of similar size across the lake.
You know in whose favor the differ
ence is. I'll admit that it is unfortu-
nate that there is not more conform
ity between the laws of the two states,
but it is New York that needs
change, not Vermont"
The other drummer was silent
moment, then said- "Well, I'll admit
that have seldom seen drunken

Getting Ready for Winter.

Between now and winter there
should be considerable attention paid
to improving the dairy by selecting
out and disposing of the cows that
have been found improbable to keep.
Every year there is more or less need
of this sitting out process as in most
herds at least there will from various
causes, be individuals that will not
come up to a reasonable standard
production for dairy stock. Some of
these improbable animals the dairy
farmer will be quick to discover while
others may be detected by proper
weighing and testing of the milk or
cream.
1t may take year with some Of the
COWS to determine their value for the
dairy, because the conditions will
vary to such an extent. There are
some COWS that do not give very
large yield of milk any time, and
Judging from this alone they would
aot appear to be desirable animals,
but the flow is so uniform, of such ex-
cellent quality, and they are such
persistent mixers, that they will be
found at the end of the year to have
gone ahead of some others that for a
time gave large yield of milk of less
richness, and that like to go dry for
three or four months. A years trial
will determine the fitness of these
COWS for the dairy.-Er.
