have few good street crossings
put in on Military street. Brick
crossings three feet wide could be
put in very cheaply, and they would

wouldn't cost a great deal, either.

SQUAD Breeding.

The Homer pigeons are the best
SQUAD breeders, for they breed
much faster than any other kind.
They also take the best care of their
young, giving them good treatment
even in the coolest weather. When
buying breeding stock, buy only of
reliable breeders, for if you don't
you are liable to get the poorest of
their flock, or old worn.out birds.
1t is better to pay fair price and
get good stock, as it costs about as
much to raise poor squads as to
raise good ones. Good squads will
always sell easily and bring a good
price. The best breeders are good,
strong birds from one to six years
old; If they are younger or older
the squads will not average as large
or plump, nor will the birds breed
so fast. Very old birds do not
breed we'll in cold weather, and as
that is when the squads bring the
highest price the younger birds are
the more profitable. The young
birds will begin to breed when they
are about six months old, but the
first squads are generally small or
thin, hut after they have bed 8
few times they are fine breeders.
1 have a young pair of birds that
have just bred the second time, and
this pair of squads are large and
plump.-Massachusett Core s.
pondence Rural New Yorker.

Toasts without Wine.

The Free Methodist, after quot
ing an item from the National Ad-
vocate relating to King Edward
VII, to the effect that to drink his
health at banquets it was not nee
essary TO drink vine, says:
The social phase of the drink
habit is one of the most prolific of
all the causes which make for it's
continuance. The jolly fellowship
of "the boys" at the saloon and the
club induce the unwary to enter
and continue in the path of the
drunkard which surely leads to
hell. Wives and mothers should
labor to make home the most at

of places where father and the boys
will delight to be.

Medicine Men.

The latest medicine scheme is
worked as follows: An agent drives
through the country and sells what
he can. When he cannot sell he
leaves a bottle and a box of pills
and asks the party to sign receipt
saying that they have received
them. The receipt is a contract,
and if part of the contents of the
bottle is used and some of the pills,
the party receiving them must pay
for them at the end of about year
when the agent calls again. There
should be some law to protect in
nocent people from these fakirs.

Signs of the Times.

An Eastern weather prophet pre-
diets cold winter, giving the fol-
lowing as the indications upon
which he relies
Raccoons have three sets of hair,
spring pigs have extra sweetbreads,
shingles have shown an extra fuzz,
flagstones have sweat frost in the
sunlit morning hours, and squirrels
have been more than usually active
in putting away a big supply of
nuts. These signs may be orthodox
in the East. but in the West moth
ing takes rank with the goosebone
which comes into evidence in De-
cember. Until then an anxious
public will await its fate.-Courier
Journal.

Consumption is a human
weed fiourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
. take SCOTS Emulsion. If
isn't really consumption so
luch the better; you will soon
orget it and be better for the
reatment. If it is consump-
ion you can't expect to be
:ured at once, but if you will
)egin in time and will be
.igidly regular in your treat
nent you will win,
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
