Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
Is subject TO headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
OF.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition OF the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss OF sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
dcbilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
cncd, and headaches result. II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
derangcd, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitazed.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
fceb'eness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great rcconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since | began using Paines
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
do not have any more headaches. / feel
better than have for years."

The horse Is one Of the most useful
animals OH the farm and should re-
reive the farmers best attention, says
Midland Farmer The kind of a horse
to keep depends largely upon the kind
Of farm and the kind of farming that
Is pursued. But II would be safe to say
that under most circumstances a heavy
horse is TO be preferred, one weighing
from 400 to 1000 pounds. Generally
the farmers horse has to do all kinds
of work and should be ut least 300
pounds lighter than In the above case
If the farmer is raising horses to sell a
heavy horse will, as rule, sell for
more money. II Is n mistake for the
average farmer to try to raise road
horses TO sell, because he Will not pro-
ducc an animal that can be sold for as
much money.
The farm team should be fast walk
ers. This will help TO solve the labor
problem. One man with fast team
can do almost rs much In one day as
two men with slow horses We never
could see any pleasure I'm farming with
plug horses" and the boy who is sent
to the field with team of plug
horses is pretty apt to learn how to
swear and will be quite likely to study
theology, medicine or law. 1t costs no
more to maintain n good horse than a
poor one, and the good horse makes
life easier for its own. 1t Is n poor
practice to buy horses at farm auc-
tons. You may get one cheap, but In
the long run 1t is apt to be expensive

The Maltese MIX Goat.

A company is being formed in NAL
den, Mass, to establish a Maltese goat
milk dairy and sanitarium. 1t is COM
posed Of Lending physicians, who want
the milk as remedy for malnutrition
and pulmonary diseases, together with
business men, who are In 1t for the
profits. They intend to test 1t by pus-
chasing goats enough to prove its mer-
Its. The Maltese goat, like all others,
is naturally browser and not a graz
or. He lives on leaves and branches
which die for want Of nourishment and
converts waste and unproductive lands
into fertile pastures. A gentleman re-
ports the increased value Of his 600
acres of land by the use Of herd Of
goats as being 10 cents an acre. The
Maltese goat has no offensive Odor pc

milk has no peculiar flavor. 1t resem-

WHO OAMN0r BE CURED.

So uniformly successful has DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
)f Female Weakness, PrOlapSus, or Falling
of Womb, and Leucorrhea that, after over
third of a century's experience in curing
the worst cases of these distressing and

fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.

remedy hereby do to pay the sum OF $500
in legal money of the United States in any
case of the above diseases in which after
fair and reasonable trial of our treatment,
we fail to cure. No other medicine for
the cure of womans peculiar ailments is
backed by such remarkable guarantee
no other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative prop
critics that would warrant its manufacturers
in making such an offer no other remedy
has such record of cures on which to base
such a remarkable offer.
Therefore insist on having DIR. Pierce's
FavOrite PRESCRIPTION ana turn your BACK
on any INSCRIPTIONS dealer who would
insult your intelligence by attempting to
foist upon you some inferior substitute,
under the plea that "it is just as good"
Insist on having the article which has
record of third of century of cures and
which is backed by those willing to forfeit
$500 if they cannot cure you.

How stock Helps Land.

An instance was related to me the
other day Of the value Of stock raising
and its incidental clover rotation in
building up the productive capacity OF
the land. Before the perfection Of the
Chicago cold storage beef industry
large herds of cattle were driven to the
Washington market from northern Vir-
ginla farms. These farms were then
models of fertility. The rotation was
wheat, corn and clover, and little II
any commercial fertilizer was used.
The beef produced was of the finest
When Chicago beef began to be
shipped everywhere these farmers did
not find It so profitable to raise steers
and drive them to Washington. They
dropped off their live stock growing
and in few years had TO begin the
use Of commercial fertilizer. These
farm lands have since steadily de-
creased in productive capacity until
now most of them are worn out and
will not prodrce twelve bushels of
wheat to the acre.-Washingto Cor

JohnsOn's First Tailoring Job.

President Andrew Johnson had never
been ashamed Of his humble origin:
had. indeed, often narrated the I'M
happy story of his first job at tailoring
He had been summoned, he would
say to the residence of an influential
citizen and had been hidden to make
over one of the citizens old coats for
the son of the house.
Johnson, little nervous through ex-
cess Of zeal, took off his coat, turned
back his sleeves, measured the youth
and set to work. He was getting along
well-the job. indeed, was nearly fin
ished-when dinner time came and he
reached out for his coat in order to
put 1t on and go home.
To his chagrn he discovered then
that 1t was his own coat which he had
cut up for the boy.

Teach Horses to Walk Fast.
The walk of young horse is large
ly influenced by the driver. Even on
the farm, If you put horse into the
care of slow, idle man, and II a
young horse is driven by slow, care
less man anything like n considerable
time, the animal will acquire Il habit
of slow motion that will be difficult to
overcome. In n majority of cases n
slow trailing gait makes really harder
work for the horse. a moderately quick
walk with at least all ordinary farm
work exhausts the animal less than q
slow, poky gait
Success With Brood Mares.
In the Rural New Yorker there is an
article about raising colts. We have
had little experience on this farm In
that line, but can report better success
than Mr.. Morse seems to have had,
says correspondent writing from
Lancaster, Mass. We have two mares
which have been bred three or four
times each. One is strong, steady go
Ing horse used principally for gener-
al driving horse but often put to farm
work during the busy season Oh the
farm. Three days after her second colt
was born she was taken out to cult
vate and was used moderately from
that time on, allowing the colt to get
Its milk every three hours. She is
driven usually to within about two
weeks of the time her colts are born
and is never thin. The other mare is
simply gentleman's driving horse
She is high spirited and very swift, be- |
ing partly "Wilkes," and Is used scarce |
ly any on the farm. She Is rather poor |
after her colts are born, but she is |
driven within month before they are |
born, and | should say within two |
weeks after they are born. Comparing |
Dur experience with that OF Mr. Morse,
should say there is much difference
In mares. If they all did as well as
)urs | think farmers might easily raise
heir own horses. think | could give
/ number OF instances In this section
where farmers have had just as good
success as we have.
Train Young Horses with Old Ones.
SO far as conditions will permit, a
'Oung horse that Is being trained for
work should be worked with an older
nimal that has been trained to move
reasonably quick, as he will not only
'e a more valuable animal, but prove
more profitable to his owner.

SWEET POTATOES.
An Evaoornted Product That Keeps
WcU and Dears TRANSFORMATION.

An EvaDornted Product That Keeps
Well and Bears transportation.
a recent bulletin of the South Caro-
'lra experiment station calls attention
the fact that while sweet potatoes
y be produced In abundance at small
1t and furnish cheap, nutritious
and paatable food not only for man,
but for domestic animals, they have
fallen far short Of the full measure OF
success as market crop because, first,
they are too bulky to pay for extended
transportation, and, second, they cam
not stand rough handling and exposure
to freezing weather.
The station, therefore, undertook to
find a method by which the potatoes
might be dried. with an improvement
OF the keeping quality and no loss Of
edible quality. After numerous exper-
iments 1t believes that these results
may be obtained by boiling the pota-
toes in an open kettle and drying In q
fruit evapOrator. The method followed
at the station was as follows:
BY means of a derrick used In the
cannery several bushels Of green pota-
toes were lowered In an iron basket In.
to a large boiler In which the water
was heated by steam. To secure uni
form cooking the roots should be nearly
of the same size. Those weighing from
one to two pounds required an hour
for thorough cooking. Six to eight
hours were required for evaporatng
them at temperature Of $50 degrees
+. An ordinary laborer peeled and
sliced bushel per hour.
The evaporated product, It is claimed,
will keep for an indefinite time and
bear transportation to any part Of the
world at any season" 1t contained:
Moisture, 3.42 per cent; crude ash, 2.4S
per cent; crude protein, 500 per cent;
crude fat, so per cent; crude fiber, 2.0S
per cent; nitrogen free extract. S6.16
per cent. To prevent hardening OF the
product It should be packed in close
boxes as soon as practicable after re-
moval from the hot ROOM"
To prepare the product for table use
soak the slices in warm water for an
hour and prepare az dressed or candied
potatoes. The desiccated potatoes may
also be used as are the fresh roots for
buildings or custards." For the latter |
purpose they may be quickly prepared
by adding small amount of warm wa
ter and boiling. Not more than fifteen
minutes will usually be required.

FASHION IN SPEECH.
Some Words Go Out of Favor and
Win Their Way Back.

The history of the race is written In
the words 1t uses. AS we grow and
change, SO our language grows and
changes. Mr.. Leon Mead In his book
"Word Coinage" points out that some
words go out of fashion and come
hats, although the change in words Is
much slower than the change in dress.
In Sponsors day "forestall," "fain,
'scathes," "askance," "embellish" and
"dapper' were not considered good, but
they have since gained responsibility
and won their place in the language.
The seventeenth century regarded as
obsolete a number of Chaucer's words
-"transcend," bland" sphere"
"blithe," franchise" carve" IAN
them" One by one these words came
to life again and walk the pages of our
literature in full vitality. Other words
now indispensable which the seven
teenth century rejected are ''plumage,"
tapestry" tissue" ledge" 'tren-
chant" resource" "villainy," thrill"
yelp, uONelull.
Bacon did not have the good word
Encyclopedia" but used the heavy
equivalent "circle learning"
Fullxe. the sixteenth century author
who wrote "a Defense of the Sincere
and True TRANSACTIONS of the Hole
Scriptures Into the English Tong" did
not admit "neophyte." homicide"
Scandal" destruction" "tunic," "des-
picable," rational" Another book
published in 1868 puts the stamp Of
censure on "oblique." radiant" "adop-
ton" "caress." "amphibious." "hOri-
zontal," "concede," "articulate," "desi-
nation" compensate" complicated"
and "adyentitious."
1t is hard to trace the history Of a
fashion in words. Seldom do we have
the precise record that Chesterfield fur
nishes us in a letter in which he says
that he was present at the birth Of the
word "fiirtatiOn" on the lips of beau
tiful woman. Even with that record
we cannot tell why Irritation" remain
ed in the language and was not drop
ped like hundreds of other new coin
ages.
