TO DISTRIBUTE SILAGE.
The Hopper and Bag Plan Here De-
scribed Is the Best That Has Yet
Been Discovered

Many forms of distributors have
been invented, but what is known as
the hopper and bag" plan is far
superior to any yet CHANGED upon,
and is shown in the figure. The hop
per is about three feet square at the
top, quite deep, so as to get pitch,
and is suspended from the roof, so
that the cut silage is thrown from
the carrier into it. A is a header
beard for the silage to strike, so as
to fall straight down and so mix
corn, leaves and stalks all together.

ALFRED'S PLUCK

81 should like to meet tiger when he's
dashing through the street;
While to face hippopotamus would truly
be treat.
/ hunger for adventure, and l long with all
my soul
For dangers in the Tropics or excitement
at the Pole"
So sang my nephew Alfred, when 1 met
him every day,
And in my ears the echo of that dreadful
song would stay.
Till one fine morn in April, when the skies
were very blue,
1 took my nephew Alfred on a visit to the
Zoo
With buns and crispy biscuits, and acidu-
lated drops,
We stood upon the pathway where the
dromedary stops.
But as the creature neared us, Alfred cried
in timid mood:
81 rather think the elephant is more in
clined for food"
So quickly We departed and we sought an
other road:
And presently the elephant approached us
l saw that Master Alfred was as pale as
pale could be,
And, when the trunk was rolling out, he
gave the buns to me.
20 GOMEZ" said I, "such ways as this will
never, never do
An elephant can't terrlfy so brave boy as
you?"
But Alfred kicked and wriggled, and he
yelled with all his might,
And vanished round corner, where he
trembleCl with alright.
YET:
This is what he tells me every morning that
we meet:
81 long to face a tiger when it's dashing
down the street.
l hunger for adventure, and I crave with
all my soul
For dangers in the Tropics or excitement
at the Pole"

OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.

There are said to be $500 million
aires in this country.
1t is estimated that the wealth of
the United States in 1900 was $94 ,OOO,-
1000.
The building and loan associations of
the country have total assets of $751;
S66,17O.
The total money in the United States,
consisting of coin and including bull
lion in the treasury, United States
notes and bank notes, is said by United
States treasury officials to be $2,463,-
1892, which is $31.94 per capita.
1t is an interesting fact that the to-
tai deposits in the savings banks in
the United States ($2, 597, O94, $500 rep
resents a sum a trifle more than the
total money in the country, and a
fourth larger than the national debt.

he DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
The DOstOr's Dead Patients Were Not
Source of Any Great Annoy
Gnce with Him.

There is a doctor of the old school in one
of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former home. of Mary
E. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by a
cemetery. The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth of mile. Some might find such a
house lot doleful, and surely theneighbors are
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers SO much as the prospect of
going home at night, says the New York
Tribune. In the country towns of New
England the graveyard at night is still a
thing of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, so that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: Are you not afraid to go home
sometimes at night?"
And his answer is always the same: mo;
my neighbors will never trouble me- they
all owe me money"

Gently found a successful remedy for

This woman suffered so with the
rheumatism in her arms that sleep or
rest became impossible.
She heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, but
having little faith in anything, was very
reluctant to spend any more money for
medicine.
However, she decided to try one box,
and this helped her so much that she
continued to use the Pills. Now she
says:
'I am real we'll, and I don't know
how I can express my thanks to Dodd's
Kidney Pills for what they have done

Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound,
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. it's the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of a great living physician.
