"JUG" MEDICINE.

Use When n Doctor Wasn't

Up in little Vermont town they tell q
story of an old nurse. She was the kind OF
an "old nurse" to be found in small towns,
who comes, after much urging, to tend" a
case and who has many Sairey Camp pecu-
liarities, relates the New York Herald.
Miss Sally" as she was called, wac in,
duced to come to the house OF the sick W pm
an and take charge. She moved in-cob
pipe, batch of starched aprons, knitting and
all.
After the good creature had seen the case
through, she said to the doctor, Doc, kin l
take my toll?"
Whats that, Sally?" asked the visiting
physician, who had come frcm the capital
city and was amused and a little irritated
by tae old womans ways.
81 mean the medicine?" said the nurse
The medicinei' exclaimed the doctor.
What on earth do you want with the medi-
cine?"
No fifth wheel to a wagon was ever more
redundant than left over medicines.
Il puts it in me jug" replied the old wom-
an slowly, "and then l gives it out occa-
sionally when there amt no doctor nigh"
The visiting physician roared with laugh
ter, but sobered down when the story OF
cold Sally's" ''jug" medicine was explained
to him. That there were not more victims
to her unique methods of cure was mys-
terry.

women who have been married within the
past month or two"
ooh, yes, OF course, some of them marry.
But why do so many of them remain sin

Perhaps it is because the educated wom-
ans horizon is broader than that of the I'M
educated; because sac demands more"
Then it is not because she looks upon
marriage itself as bad thing?"

''And you have declined proposals be-

She tied and united her dainty handker-
chief, relates the Philadelphia Times, and
looked down and blushed and family an

inches and the other couldn't have weighed

TROUBLE BEGINS.

Trouble begins with the first back
ache. Backache comes in many
forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp
stitches, slow exhaustive aches.
Most backache pains are kidney
pains.
The Kidneys fail to perform the
duties nature intends them to do
and the warning of trouble comes
through the back.
Neglect the kidney warning, grave
complications will surely follow.
Urinary disorders - Diabetes
Bright's Disease-are the downward
steps of neglected kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure every kid
ney and bladder sickness and the
cure lasts. Read this PROOF of it:
Mrs. Adam Guntle, residing at 70I
South Plum ST., Charlottesville. Ind,
says: 81 made public statement in
1897 saying that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured a member of our family
after he had suffered for years with
a weak back and kidney troubles.
He took three boxes of this remedy
and was completely cured. Now
three years have elapsed since I
made this statement and I am only
too pleased to reendorse it. I have
also used Doan's Kidney Pills myself,
obtaining the best results. 1 have
recommended this remedy to my
friends and neighbors as one which
can always be depended upon
A free trial of this great Kidney
medicine which cured Mrs. Guntle
will be mailed on application to any
part of the United States. Address

ALL ABOUT THE FARM.

SALT FOR LIVE STOCK,
Animals Need Ut just as Much as Man
for Proper Digest of
Their Food

Because animals are dumb anC
cannot ask for what they need, il
sometimes happens, through careless.
ness or forgetfulness, that they are
deprived of that which is essential
to their welfare. 1t is easy for q
man 20 ask for salt if it is not Oh
the table, but an animal can only
long for it if it is not given; vet
salt is about as necessary for one as
the other.
There IS large percentage of salt
n the composition of the body, par.
:icularly in the blood and cartilages,
and this is constantly being given of
through perspiratiOn, the kidneys.
ETC., and the waste must be supplied
or the body suffers.
On The other hand, in the case OF
sailing cattle pastured in distant
fields, where quite a trip has to be
made from home to reach them, this
is sometimes done at long intervals,
and a large quantity of salt is taken,
seemingly with the idea of making
up for the lack of it in the mean
time. The cattle, not having had any
for so long, devOur it eagerly and in
larger quantities than they should
and the effect is frequently harmful.
1t would be found more advantageous
to make the trip Oftener and with
less salt a time.
Cattle thrive best on a variety of
food, and in digesting this a certain
amount of salt is necessary to obtain
the best results. Should this be
given, not only will the cattle be
comfortable and not likely to get out
of condition, but they will return a
larger percentage of gain to their
owner.-H. E. Haydock, in n. Y. Trib-
une-Farmer.

SPLENDID HORSE STALL.
OF the Many Forms of Stalls Now in
Use, the One Here Shown Is
the Best.

All stall floors should be laid length
wise of the stall. The boards should
extend the full length of the stall.
When badly worn they can be changed
end for end and if turned over much
extra wear is obtained. Soft wood,
like pine or even elm, is superior to oak.
There is less danger of the horse slip
ping when he gets up.
The most important part of the
stall is the hay rack and manger.
When the hay is thrown into deer
manger where the horse has free
access to the entire quantity, he losses
and mikes it over many times to select
