A FARMERS M|SHAP
THROWN VIOLtN LY FROM HIS NOW
ING MACHINE,


John William Smith, a farmer of
something over sixty years of age,
while moving on his place near Lit
Teton, Mass, was thrown from the
seat of the machine head foremost
against large rock He was uncon-
scious and it was quarter of an hour
before he regained his senses Then
it was found that he had received a
severe injury to his shoulder. Speak
ing about it afterward he said
For seven years | could not raise
my hand as high as my shoulder as a
result of the fall. / thought my
shoulder was out of joint, but the doc
tors said it was not Still, they
didn't help me with all their medi-
cine. Both hands and arms were
numb, and every time l tried to raise
the one it panied me very bad
Eyes, | tried all sorts of things for
it but none of them did any good at
all and | was discouraged. My wife
was troubled a good deal with rheu-
matism in her shoulder and it was
hard for her to reach up to fix her hair
or dress heselt. If she made a mis-
step on uneven ground it gave her
such pain that she could not speak
for a minute.
1--WE are both cured now. 1t took
about a week to fix me up aud little
longer for her.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

A correspondent writes asking some
information about strawberry culture
and about how to start bed and
about what are the respective advan-
tages of spring and fall seeding. An
authority upon the subject says that,
generally speaking, the spring plant
ed bed, set, say in April, will give
larger yields the next season than if
set in the fall. A bed planted about
the middle of August, say, will, how
ever, give the largest berries the fol-
lowing season. Nearly all our prize
winning exhibits at fruit shows are
grown from August paintings. For
the general planter, however, spring
painting is regarded as best. The
plants are more likely to live, they
require less care and the buds become
we'll filled so that they can bear large
ly the following season.
To start bed on the matted row
plan divide it with plow into rows
about three and half feet apart and
set the plants in the burrows about
one foot apart. Where the planting
is to be large so that the picking re-
qires many persons, it will be we'll to
set the rows five feet apart. In set
ting the plants the roots should be
spread out evenly and the ground
pressed down firmly as though the
growth had been natural. When
planted in this way in April, the
plants make runners and cover the
bed, and this should be permitted with
the exception of say, foot space be-
tween the rows for paths. There
should be continuous culture through
out the season until the matted mass
covers the ground, Good plants, of
good variety should be selected and
the mingling of pistillate and stamin-
ate varieties should be such as to in
sure perfect fertilization. In planting
with this view, it is usual to set row
of staminate plants and then two rows
of pistillates, and so on.

BREEDING SOWS IN WINTER.

Are there breeding sOws to farrow
this winter or in early spring? almost
every farmer could easily raise one or
two filters of pigs without feeling
the cost of keeping them or the stock
hogs as any burden to him, and the
income is quite an item, coming as it
may both III spring and fall. In al
most every farming community in
New England there are enough who
like to buy pigs or shoats that they
may fatten their own pork, using up
the table waste and waste products of
the garden and orchard to make a
market for all the spring pigs, while
if they are not wanted in the fall,
they can be sold as roasting pigs, or
kept until spring and sold as shoats.
Breeding sows should neither be
allowed to get too fat or too lean.
Much must depend upon the breed
and the natural character of each ami
NAL. \ long and deep bodied SOW
that has had one or two previous lit
tiers and furnished milk to raise them
well until they were old enough to
seek trough for themselves, is not
apt to get too fat unless very injudi-
ciously fed; but short bodied one,
with heavy hams and broad shoulders,
may do so, and we do not care to Sc
lect such as breeding sows. Get the
service of a good, vigorous male of
pure breed, if it can be had, and use
no scrubs and inferior animals, even if
they can be used for nothing. After
a SOW has shown her ability to pro
duce and raise good litter of pigs,
keep her until she is not able to do so
any longer. Do not fatten and kill
her and then begin with young sow
again. \ litter of ten to fourteen
good pigs twice year is a paying

more activity and greater tirmness.
Spring business promises to be on an eX-
tensive scale and the necessity for early
preparation is recognized on all sides.
with the result that inquiries are coming
along in good shape. For schedules fun
prices are invariably demanded and the
number of those willing to offer random
at a concession of soc from association
rates is greatly reduced. The feeling is,
indeed, much steader all around. The
higher prices asked for shingles are now
being actually received, but business is of
a moderate order as yet. In clapboards
and laths there is no change to note. The
former us scarce as ever.

With the aid of Babcock test aud u
pair of scales it is within the power
of every farmer to grade up his herd
in the course of few years, to the
three hundred pound standard, The
milk is to he weighed and tested for
a sufficient length of time to know
just what each COW is doing To do
this with the least amount of labor
and still with a fair degree of ac-
curacy, test AMI weigh the milk of
each COW for three consecutive days
of each month. OF course a composite
sample is taken, which will give the
average test for three days, and will
necessitate only one actual test. In
making these tests it may soon be dis
covered that some of the herd are
kept at an actual loss, while others
are yielding a gcol profit. The out
lay for a tester will not exceed 81,
and the manipulation of the test is so
simple that with little study every
farmer can use it for his purpose with
sufficient accuracy.
The time is not far distant, when
all milk, whether for creamery, cheese
factory or city supply, viii be brought
strictly on the fat basis in other
words, by the Babcock test. John

AGRICULTURAL.
TAPPING MAPLE TREES.

There are some fine points to be OBJ
served even in such simple matter as
tapping sugar maple tree. Here
are five points, just for instance,
Point Only a sharp bit should be
used, -one that will make clean cut
hole
Point 1.-THE hole need not be more
than three inches deep, The investi-
cations of the Vermont Experiment
Station have shown that hardly any
sap comes from greater depth.
Point 3.-The hole should be care
fully cleaned of chips, because even q
very small quantity of waste matter
will clog the spout, obstruct the flow
of sap, and seriously reduce the yield
of sugar
Point IA spout should be chosen
of such a pattern as will allow the
freest flow of sap. 1t should interfere
with the wood tissue of the tree as
little as possible The bark, rather
than the wood, should play an inn
portant part in holding the spout firm.
Point 5.-The spout should be strong
enough, and its hold on the tree firm
enough, so that it will safely support
the sap bucket. Moreover, the spout
should be easy to insert and easy to
remove The various spouts common
ly sold at the hardware stores differ
materially in their merits when judg
ed by the foregoing tests The sugar
maker will do well to examine them
all carefully before buying his supply
for the coming season. Vermont EX-

In this age Of competition it is we'll to
be able to discriminate between the good
and the bad of everything. Itdoes not do
to judge too much by appearances, for
everything that glistens is not necessa-
rily gold, or even silver, but in a great
many instances simply old tin, polished
up. 1t is hard to be mistaken when one
first has an opportunity to make thor
ough investigation and sample an article
free of charge, before buying. This is the
way the Louis Daudelin Co., of Worces-
ter, Mass, have placed upon the market
their celebrated French medical COM
pound, "Blood Wine," and their earnest
request is that everyone in i'll health, to
whose case their remedy is suited, shall
take advantage of the privilege and sat
isfy himself that there are no misrep-
reservations, no extravagant promises,
no misleading quotations and no false
testimonials. The Daudelin people en-
Joy the respect and friendship of Massa-
chusetts citizens and wherever else that
they are known, and it is their desire to
push this feeling of confidence and esteem
to the four corners of the globe. Conse-
quently BLOOD Wine" bears the imprint
of honor throughout.
In order that everyone may know ex-
actly what he is buying and know just
what to expect from every bottle of
"Blood Wine," it is sold to every drug
gist with the understanding that he shall
provide everyone calling, with a free
sample. This enables you to test and
investigate right here at home the
workings of this remedy.
S"Blood Wine'' cures disease by begin
ming at the very foundation of the trouble.
1t undermines disease as readily as dis
ease overcomes the normal conditions of
the system. TO cure any kind of disease
it is necessary to commence on the
vital fluid of the body-the blood. Any
physician will tell you that the mortal
never lived into whose flesh the germs OF
disease could creep when healthy blood
flowed through the veins. Sores on the
body, pimples and blotches are produced
in the same way that sores on the lungs
or in the kidneys or any other part of the
body are brought on. What is consump
ton? Nothing but sore, a pus-emitting
dischargng sore, or mass of sores, which
if you could see would remind you o
any kind of disgusting sore. What causes
it and what will cure it? The blood.
An impoverished, unhealthy corpuscle
less blood produces all the ills that flesl
is heir to. A rich, thick, healthy, &C
tive blood will cure them.
.'That disease in the family has beer
handed down from generation to genera
tion-it's in the blood" you hear people
say and it's true.
If you don't rid yourself of a disease
you surely do hand it down toyour chill
dren and grandchildren. 'Blood Wine

IMPORTANCE OF TESTING MILK.

There is certainly no factor that has
been more potent i'll etfecting the
marked increase in the average prod
uction of dairy COWS than the Babcock
test Herds averaging 300 to 800
pounds of butter a year are no long
er considered anything phenomenal.
More than this the person who goes
into dairy farming with the intention
not only of securing an existence but
also of making money, finds that he
cannot afford to keep COWS which fall
below the three hundred pound stand
ard.
Yet look at the vast army of herds
whose average annual production does
not even reach the two hundred pound
mark 1t is therefore not to be won
dered at that farmers occasionally
complain that dairying doesn't pay.
