pickle watts are at the southeast cor
ner of the canning house yard Tho
caring for these cucumbers In the
brine and the processing afterwards
is work that requires the constant
attention of several employees. The
raising of cucumbers for the factory
is, a work that contains much profit.
Another season will find this part OF
the business of Anderson Brothers
plant an important department of
their work.
The growing season has been back
ward, both for tomatoes and for GU
cumbers, and those who, have planted
for the company have been handicap
ped in their harvesting. Will Mob
ley, who planted about three and a
half acres for the factory, has already
reaped a good harvest. Last week he
delivered 662 bushels. One picker
so years of age made a record in this
harvest and in one day picked fifty
eight bushels of the vegetable.
E. w. Lafayette is another of the
largest growers of this season and he
is rushing along after the records
made by Mr.. Mobley. He has about
two and half acres planted to toma'
toes. These men will clear seventy
or eighty dollars per acre for their
tomatoes, and If the season is Of good
length they will clean up more than
that amount. Mr.. Lafayette brought
in single tomato a few days ago,
perfect in shape and development,
that weighed nineteen ounces. |-'1
There are many others who have
been delivering the vegetables to the
factory, but in lesser amounts than
these men. The next season will see
an increased number Of large raisers.
The season begins about August first
and sometimes runs to the middle on
October. fg. g2-1E g7a s&I.d Eg-11 Il

A NEW CRUSADE.
Whisky and Tobacco Color Blindness
Is Becoming More Prevalent
Among Railroad Men,

The crusade which the railroads of
the country are carrying on against the
use of intoxicating liquors and tobacco
by employees engaged in operating
trains is partly due to the fact, not
generally known, that the poisonS con-
tanned in the prescribed articles pro-
duce color blindness, which is a fatal
defect in enginemen, firemen and
trainmen. For more than 20 years the
diseases of tobacco endlyopia and alco-
hol endlyopia, as they are called, have
been recognized by the oculists as the
most insidious and difficult with which
they have to deal. Through the en-
ployment of official oculists the exist
ence, growing prevalency and terrible
results of these diseases have become
familiar to the arrangements of many
large railway systems.
According to one of the railroad spe-
cialists endlyopia was rarely found in
this country 10 years ago, but was
quite prevalent in European and south
ern countries prior to that. Now ocu-
lists of good practice in this country
have to deal with quite large number
of cases yearly, the increase being due
to the increase in nicotine and alco-
hol infection. Endlyopia in its first
stages produces slightly failing vision,
often a smarting of the eyes, but is not
marked in effect. The disease does not
progress far, however, before scotoma,
or color blindness, makes its appear
ance. Certain portions of the eye are
unable to recognize the colors green
and red, which are used in railroading
as danger and cautionary signals. To
certain portions of the eye these colors
will appear drab, yellow, black or
some other color. AS the victim can
not recognize this defect himself, an
engineer or fireman might possess it
for months and not know that he was
misinterpreting signals unless an &C
cident occurred.
Unless taken in time eudlyopia pro-
duces total blindness b. killing the
optic nerve. If cure is effected and
the patient continues the use of tobacco
or liquor, as the case may be, the dis
ease is very likely to recur, when it is
still more difficult of cure. Eye spe-
cialists unite in declaring IT,, if endly-
opia maintains its present ratio of in
crease it will not be more than a quar-
ter OF century before it will be one
of the common eye troubles. Scotoma
is one of the most dreaded enemies to
safety in train operation, and railroad
officials rightly recognize that they
must wage unceasing war against any
thing which produces lt.-Record-

LOVERS ADDRESS TO BELOVED

Whisky bottle, how love thee.
Dear delight beyond compare;
Thou to heights of bliss doth lift me,
'Bove the mists of earthly care!
Let me clasp thy form symmetric,
Let me touch thy lip divine,
Whence there flows aroma subtle,
Soft, exquisite, rich and fine.
In a draught of joy ecstatic
Let me drain thy sweetness deep,
Then to all the world oblivious
l will lay me down to sleep.
Oh the visions of softly sailing
Down full streams of fragrant wine
Unto shoreless seas of whisky,
Smooth, and soft, and oily fine!
Would I pawn my books, my treasures?
Pah! a sacrifice too tame:
For thy company I'd barter
Health, and wealth. and friends and fame!
Hearts, forsooth, were made for breaking,
Why not break them, sweet, for thee?
Gold and silver made for spending,
Why not spend them merrily?
AS for health. when Death doth beckon
With his cold and bony hand
Toward the darksome lonely valley,
Toward the rivers chilly strand,
We will pledge him in a bumper,
Thou and l, my whisky sprite.
All, but heaven, what is this vision,
All these forms as grim as night?
writhing, coiling, creeping glaring,
All, they drag me 0 the brink
God oh, God. they pull me downward,
Whisky, help! I sink! sink!

Journal. the mare should be fed we'll
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
often, if she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty. It does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at pillow or on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal
and besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatiguing work in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, if
at all. Before it is too late put in a
strip of fodder corn alongside of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn tilickly with seeder,

A woman confined to the house for

who was poor man, hundreds of dol

themselves many comforts Of life in
order to get money enough TO pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause of the want of mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork,
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
| treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in few weeks She
was well and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
