HAY IN ROUND BALES.
Packed i'm This Shape II Occupies Less Space and There Are
 Other Advantages.

Hay as well as cotton is put up nowa- days in cylindrical bales, a standard round hay bale being IS inches in diam eter and 36 inches in length. Such q bale packed at the pressure under which it would be put up for domestic use would weigh about 200 pounds; as packed for export such a bale would contain about 275 pounds. There is put up for army use bale of the same diameter, but only IS inches in length, which contains approximately 40 pounds of hay.
 In the cylindrical bale a given quan- tity of hay is got into less than half the space that it would occupy in a square bale; and there are asserted for it other advantages, including freedom from mold. preservation of the sweetness of the hay and greatly reduced combus- tibility
 Thousands of tons of hay in cylin- drical bales have been shipped to the American army in the Philippines, and large quantities of it have been used by the British army in South Af rica.

MILES FAvoRs GOOD ROADS.
Commander of the United States Army Illustrates Their Great
 Importance.

If Gen. Nelson A. Miles had his way the roads of the United States would be equal to ose of any country on the globe He tells a story of an old teamster out west who was driving over a very rough road in the Rocky mountains shortly after the Geronimo campaign. He had the general for a passenger. The wagon was an old prairie schooner. without springs or cushions, and the general was vainly attempting to fall asleep, says the Chi cago Chronicle.
 "But there was no sleep for me on that trip" says Cen. Miles, ''for tie old rascal drove ever every powder in the road; in fact, he seemed to be doirg it purposely. Finally l became interested and began to count the number of rocks over which the wheels of the wgssossa,y passed or which they struck Suddenly, to my consterna- ton, he missed one-a huge powder in the middle of the roadway.
 Whoa! Heyl' I cried. Back up! Back up!'
 He quietly followed my instruc- tious, seeming to be not at all surpassed by them. When he had his wagon In the proper position I said: Now, drive over that rock, confound you! It's the only one you've missed
 Without so much as glance in my direction, he repliedr; Cert, pard. Never noticed it. Ain't got a chew about yer?

LfeHTN1NG KILLS WILD BoARs
Five Out of Six Imported from the Black Forest struck Together
 in Pike County.

Five of six wild boars imported from the Black Forest in Germany at a cost of $1o0 each were lately killed by light ming at Porter's Lake, Pike county, Pa. They were brought over by Weissbrod & Hess, of Philadelphia, and were in tended for breeding purposes, and it was proposed to turn their young loose in the forest, reports the New York Sun.
 The animals had only just arrived and were still in their boxes, which were piled under a tree. When the storm was at it's height bolt descend ed. striking the tree and running down 1t to the animals. One in box on top of the others escaped, but those below were instantly killed. it is said their places will be supplied by other impor- tations.
 The propaga tion of wild boars in this region Is not a new experiment. Some wears ago Otto Flock, wealthy broker of New York and London, whose sum mer home was on the west side of the Shawangunk mountain, not far from Port Jervis, turned out several wild boars in his mountain park. For time they thrived until at last they broke through the inclosure and committed depredations on the neighboring farms. The farmers turned out with dogs and guns, but were never able to capture any of them. They were hunt ed day and night. They finally took up their abode in Sullivan county, where hunters tried in vain to kill them. Judge w. II. Crane, of this place, broth CT of the late Stephen Crane, was the only person who successfully brought down one of these wild boars. What has become of the remainder of the ami mals is mystery, as they have disap- peared. It Is believed they all died.

 T-a1lHEN Miss Rose Owens, who W has a responsible position in w the Governm ent service at
 Washington, D. G., decided to try Wine of Cardui, she made wise choice. Over a million women have been relieved of female weakness by this same Wine of Cardui. It is not a strong medicine but may be taken every day in the year by any woman with benefit. It does not force results, but corrects Arrangements of the menstrual organs. It strengthens the nervous system, gives tone to the bodily func- tions, acts directly on the genital organs, and is the finest tonic for wo- men known to the science of medicine.

Miss Owens was cured without advice by just buying S1 .00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from her druggist and taking this great medicine in the pri- vacy of her home. No doctors ex- animation, treatment or advice is nec- essary. You have read what these two cured women have written. Is this not enough to lead you to determine to be rid of suffering?
