BLOOD WAS THIN
This Woman's Case Wrongly
Diagnosed as Heart Disease
and Consumption.
From presby.erian journal, Paila.. Pa.

After wears of patient and intense
suffering. Miss Gertrude Gilbert, Of
3a0l Dauphin street, Philadelphia, Pa.
has recovered her lost health, and is to-
day u rosy and blooming specimen OF
young womanhood. She says:
Il had been sick fora long time, when
a friend urged me to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Previous
to this three doctors had treated me.
They diagnosed my trouble as heart
disease, together with consumption,
and prescribed accordingly. All this
medical treatment did not benefit me
in the least. I was i'll a terrible con-
dition. There was scarcely any blood
left in my body My chief trouble was
weakness, and after laborious efforts to
get up stairs almost went into faint
and on several occasions thought was
going to die.
''It was at this time that DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills were recommended tp
me, and l procured box. Before l
had finished it began to feel the bene-
fit to my health. This gave me en-
couragement. l soon was relieved Of
that shortness of breath and quick heart
action which had been my chief trouble
My appetite returned, and l was en-
abled to do my daily duties with
cheerfulness which 1 had never before
experienced. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are all they are represented to be, and
10 them, and to them alone, do owe
my restoration to health"

A BLACKSMITH'S STRANGE EX-
PERIENCE.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. E. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been great sufferer from Rheuma-
tism. He was so 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 a strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended a new med
icine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be a 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.

since the foundation of the road will
then remain solid and the road itself
will not be cut up like untitled roads.
A third, and sometimes a very i'm
portant, object of subdrainage is to re-
move what may be called the under
flow. In some places where the ground
is comparatively dry when it freezes
in the fall, it will be very wet in the
spring when the frost comes out
surprisingly so considering the dry
ness before freezing. The explanation
is that after the ground freezes, water
rises slowly in the soil by hydrostatic
pressure of the'water in higher places;
and if it is not drawn off by under
drainage it saturates the subsoil and
rises as the frost goes out, so that
ground which was comparatively dry
when it froze is practically saturated
when it thaws.
The underdrainage Of a road not
only removes the water, but prevents,
or greatly reduces, the destructive eff
feet of frost. Frost is destructive only
where there is moisture. The upheav-
ing action of frost is due to presence
of water. Water expands on freezing
and loosens the soil; when thawing
takes place, the ground is left spongy
and wet, and the roads "break up" If
the roads are kept dry they will not
break up. Underdrainage helps to
keep them dry.
1t is the universal observation that
roads in low places which are tiled dry
dc
the high land. The tiled roads never
get so bad as those not tiled. There
is no way in which road taxes can be
spent to better advantage than in til
ing the roads.
All roads, except those of pure sand,
tcan be materially improved by tile
drainage. This is the opinion of many
farmers, in several communities, with
| whom the writer has conversed on this
subject. In each community this is
universally the opinion of the farmers
who have had the best success in
draining their own farms. The cost
of tile drainage is not great, say. about
so cents per rod or S160 per mile; and
the Improvement is permanent with
no expense or maintenance, and the
benefit is immediate and certain. Far
Their, tile drainage is the very best
preparation for a gravel or a stone
road Gravel or broken stone placed
upon an undrained foundation is al
most sure to sink gradually, whatever
| it's thickness; whereas a thinner layer
upon an underdrained roadbed will
| give much better service. "Roads tiled
without gravel are better than roads
/ oraveled without tile"
The road should be underdrained so
as to keep the water level well be-
! low the road surface. In most local
tiles this can be accomplished reason
ably well by laying line of farm tile
3 or 49, feet below the road surface
along one side of the roadway. 1t is
sometimes claimed that there should
| be tile on each side of the road.

Combination in Egg Selling.

In egg production, Denmark is forg-
ing to the fore, her exports having
doubled in the last five years. This
has largely been brought about
through the combination of the farm
ers into syndicates. The farmers form
local associations, the officers Of which
in turn elect central officers to con-
troll the management of the Whole
corporation. Each egg as it is gath
cred is stamped with the mark of the
local association and the number of
the individual in the association.
Eggs SO marked are taken to the cen
trail point, when they are shipped to
Copenhagen. If any bad eggs are
found at Copenhagen, a fine of about
81 is imposed upon the person sending
the same, and repetitions will force
one out of the association.-Pro w.

to think that the sole object of tile
drainage is to remove the surface
water, but this is only a small part
of the object of the underdrainage of
roads
The most important object of under
drainage is to lower the water level in
the soil. The action of the sun and
the breeze will finally dry the surface
of the road, but if the foundation is
soft and spongy, the wheels wear ruts
and horses feet make depressions be-
tween the ruts. The first shower fills
these depressions with water, and the
road is soon a mass of mud. A good
road cannot be maintained without
good foundation, and an undrained
soil is poor foundation. A dry sub
soil can support almost any load A
friend of the writer, an intelligent
man and a close observer, claims that
even in dry time the easiest digging
on or around farm is just under the
surface of road having no under
drainage. His theory is that except
in the road vegetation is continually
pumping the water up from the sub
soil and giving it out into the air,
while in the road the compact surface
prevents evaporation of the water in
the subsoil. Therefore the road needs
underdrainage more than the field.
A second object of underdrainage is
to dry the ground quickly after
freeze. When the frost comes out of
the ground in the spring, it thaws
quite as much; from the bottom as
from the top. If the land is under
drained, the water when released BY
thawing from below will be immedi-
ately carried away. This is particu-
larly important in road drainage,

DRAINAGE AND ROADS.
Prof Ira A. Baker, of the University
of Illinois, Throws New Light
on an Old Subject.

Like other authorities on the subject
of road building, Prof. Ira A. Baker,
of the University of Illinois, empha-
sizes the Importance of drainage in
the building of roads. In his bulletin
on the subject, recently published, he
says:
Drainage is the most important mat
ter to be considered in the construc-
ton of earth roads. No road, whether
earth or stone, can long remain good
without drainage. Drainage alone will
often change a bad earth road to a
good one, and the best road may be
destroyed by the absence of proper
drainage. Water is the only agent
that destroys earth roads. Water and
dirt make mud, and mud makes bad
going. The dirt is always in the road,
and the water comes at unpropitious
times, as rain or snow. The water

softens the earth, the horses feet and
wagon wheels mix and knead it, and
it soon becomes impossible mud; final
1y the frost freezes it, and the second
state of the road is worse than the
frst-for time at least. Further, if
the water is allowed to course down
the middle of the road, it will wash
away the earth and leave gullies in
the surface that must be laboriously
filed up by the traffic or the hand of
man. No road, however well made
otherwise, can endure if the water col
1ects or remains on it. Prompt and
thorough drainage is a vital essential
in all road construction.
A perfectly drained road will have
three systems of drainage, each Of
which must receive special attention if
the best results are to be obtained.
This is true whether the trackway be

FLOWING THE ORCHARD.
Disking in Spring Should Be Fol.
lowed by narrowing Through
the Summer Months

The manner in which too many farm
ers pillow their orchards, when they
pillow them at all, accounts in large
measure for partial fruit failures and
unsatisfactory growth of trees. 1t
were better not to plow up the or
chard, particularly if the trees have
not reached full bearing age, than
recklessly go through it in the spring
with a deep-set pillow and tear out
roots by wholesale. There wouldn't
be SO much damage done if the pillow
were not run SO close to the trees. In
many instances the rows of trees are
plowed the same as if they were rows
of posts having no roots.
The effect of such unwise treatment
of fruit trees is to check wood growth
and encourage an abnormal produc-
and the trees seem unwilling either to
produce fruit or develop wood.
Generally speaking, an orchard
should be plowed not more than once
in five years. And it should not be
deep, nor should the earth be plowed
up near the trees; they should occupy
an unplowed strip 20 feet wide or
more, depending upon their age and
consequent root development.
The orchard never should be per-
mitted to become foul or infested with
weeds Disking early in the spring
should be followed by periodical har-
rowing through the summer months
and until time for So1UinO a oovar oron
such as rye or vetch.-National Rural.

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
While the farmers Grain Is Ripening
and His Stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life OF the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such a pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. noted sportsman writing of
the favorite pastime says: ''There is
one particular spot where | saw a
man drop 70 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fat prairie. At the right season Of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where a few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civiliza ton in sight. Still,
the neigh borhood is well-settled, and
a short drive will bring you to g
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
ga very short railway journey will
bring you to country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fat, Doggy land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"

Good Gravel Roads in Iowa

In Scott county the license money
received from the saloons is used to
improve the roads. At first ashes were
used on rock foundation AS ashes
became scarce gravel was shipped in
and used instead, giving better salts
faction. Small rocks were laid on the
large ones before putting on the
gravel, making roadbed about 16
inches deep. The large rocks were
omitted after awhile, as they had to
be laid by hand, while the gravel could
be dumped. Finally, the little stones
were also omitted, the roads now be-
ing made entirely of gravel, 10 to Ia
