Have You a Friend Afflicted With
Asthma?

Frank S. Archibald, of West
Swanzey, N. H., writes: For the
past five years | have suffered
with Asthma almost constantly.
I was so nervous at times I could
hardly remain in my school. This
disease coupled with the nervous
strain to which teachers are al
ways subjected, made life almost
unbearable. During a visit to my.
home in Hinsdale, Mr.. Ham,
local druggist, called my atten-
ton to your White Wine of Tar
Syrup. At first was skeptical
as | had tried almost ererything
with no permanent help. Finally
I took home a bottle and the cure
it effected seems almost miracu.

THE FARM FLOCK.
The Day of Unlimited Ranges Pass

The Day of Unlimited Ranges Pass
ing Away-ProAt In Small Flocks.
Regarding the sheep industry In the
United States w. j. Battison In an an
nual review of the subject for the M
tional Association of Wool Manufac-
turers says the conditions indicate that
the future prosperity Of the American
sheep industry lies In gradual but
radical change in the manner in which
1t is conducted. The day of extreme
ly large f1ocks on unlimited ranges Is
beginning to pass away. The sheep
will have to be kept In smaller hocks
and those adapted to closer conflne-
ment substituted for breeds which are
dependent on u wide range for profta-
BILE existence.
Surprise has often been expressed
that farmers In the eastern and mid
die states do not pny more attention
to sheep. The cause appears TO be In
a great measure the same rs that
which prevents the growing of carpet
woods In this country. Other branches
of agriculture require less care and ex-
ertion or yield better returns for capt.
tai invested and time and labor ex-
pended.
Notwithstanding the disadvantages,
there Is still good profit to be made
from sheep, and a tendency is noted In
New York state toward an increase in
the number of small fiocks on farms In
heretofore exclusive dairy sections, the
sheep being kept partially for the pur-
pose of destroying weeds In the pas
ture.
The estimated value Of the wool crop
of 1903, based on the value of the
secured pound at the seaboard, is 1874
868 ,2O5 pounds, having a total value
of $5S 775,873, the value per pound
for fleece being ass cents and for pull
ed wool 43.4 cents. The total value Of
the wool crop is IA per cent less than
that of the previous year, the decrease
being due to reduction in the total
quantity of wool produced.
On the other hand, the value of fleece
wool, 1t Is stated, has increased 1856
per cent and that of pulled wool 932
per cent. In 1903 the average weight
of fleeces was 6.25 pounds as compar-
ed with $50 pounds in 1902 and the
average shrinkage COS per cent as
compared with 60 per cent.

MENACED At LOOM
A PLUOKY WEAVER ENDURES A
PAINFUL PERSECUTION,
Course Pursued by Mr.. Hickey To Bring to
an End "A serious Interference
With His Work.

The pluck which Mr.. c. II. Hickey, a
cotton weaver, of No. Main street, Har-
ris, Rhode Island, exhibited III resisting
an effort to drive him from his looms in
the Bernon Mills of GeOrglayllle, was
truly remarkable.
Every day his work was hampered
more, and at its close he dragged him
self to his home and was put To bed ex-
hausted and suffering to such an extent
that sleep was impossible. Every morn
ing he forced himself with heroic reso-
luton to resume his work. But the days
went by without bringing him any re-
lief, until it became clear that even his
remarkable will power could not long
sustain such fearful odds His good
wife became alarmed and both began to
look eagerly for assistance.
My trouble came, think. says Mr..
Hickey, from the strong draueht Of
Geld arr that played about my feet at
my six looms. One foot swelled just
above the ankle, and the pain became
limp about during the day, but 1t was
worst at night when got home and, as
soon as got my supper, had TO go to
bed to get little relief. Besides the
torture in my foot would have nervous
jumping spells, shortness of breath and
pain near my heart.
i" l stood it as well as could for three
months, trying many medicines but all
the time getting worse, until two friends
told me what wonderful virtue they had
found in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. One of them said they had
cured his rheumatism and that he con-
sidered them tho foremost of all RENE
dies.
Now, 1 bless Dr. Williams Pink
Pills myself for the first box took
helped me and, after had taken three
boxes, the swelling went down and the
pain and lameness left me for good. I
have had no trace of the dreadful illness
since"

The I,,prlocIasts.

IconoclaSts were mag" breakers. The
controversy respecting Images, which
had been introduced iH.J churches for
popular instruction about \. =. 800,
was begun aDo9t \. ID. 126 and occa-
stoned much disturbance and Joss of
life in the eastern empire. Leo l~Hu-
rlcus published two edicts for demoL
fishing images in churches in that year
and enforced them with great vieOr in
I36. The controversy was carried on
in the church. and the schlsm was the
occasion of the second council of Nice,
A. d. 7S7. The ieonoclasts We're finally
accommodated at the eighth general
council held later at Constantlnople
and this controversy led to the separa-
ton of the Greek and Latin churches.
Many images were destroyed in Eng
land and Scotland during the reforma-
ton and in the civil war-1G41 4S-and
on each occasion the destroyers as
sumed the name of iconoclasts.

The process OF collecting squash bugs
by hand must apparently be the main
reliance OF the gardener against this
pest for many years to come. 1t has
long been known that II small boards,
such as old shingles, are laid loosely
upon the ground beside the squash
vines large proportion of the bugs
will congreRate under these at night,
so that they are easily collected the
next morning. This is well worth prac-
tieing In connection with hand picking
from the vines.

1t is a curious fact that as late as the
middle of the nineteenth century there
existed-indeed there may still exist
among the good people Of Cayan and
Tyrone belief that rats may be
charmed away by rhymes and other
magical means One of my acqualnt-
ances was told by an Irishman of Il
case of "billeting' rats-that is, of
clearing them out of one place and
lodging them In another. No pipe was
played. Indeed the method was a mys-
terry, but the rats came flocking out Of
mill and graDary an hour before mid
night and moved away in Il compact
mass to their newly appointed lodg
ings. 1t was brilliant moonlight
night. and scores of people besides the
narrator followed them as they troOped
down the roads and through a sleeping
village to their destination. - Sunday

Methods of Curing.

There are two general methods OF
curing now employed One may be
called the indoor method and the other
the outdoor method In either case the
seed. mixed as it is with grass and
weeds. is piled in low and narrow
ricks or windows.
When the curing is done In a build
ing, the rlcks are usually four to five
feet high by five broad at the bottom.
To cure in the field a space Is first
moved close and Is sometimes scraped,
leaving a smooth, hard packed clay sur
face. The seed is then Kicked up on
the dirt or ON the short grass stubble,
much of the coarse stuff, such az weeds
and timothy. being shaken out and re-
moved at this time. Some cure their
seed out of doors for the first three or
four days. during which time, If the
weather Is favorable, the seed becomes
nearly dry. 1t is then taken to barns
to finish curing. when it can be piled in
larger ricks than would be safe with
fresh seed. After piling up every rick
should be turned at least three times
daily for the first four or five days.
When for any reason large ricks are
not turned often enough, the seed be-
comes fired and assumes dusty gray
appearance, with musty smell, and
the vitality Is damaged or destroyed.
OLD Time and Modern Screening.
Before the civil war all blue grass
seed was cleaned by hand by rubbing it
through wire screens. In the early
years Of the century lime and sand
were used to assist In cleaning the
seed Today the seed is cleaned at the
mills with powerful machinery, so that
hundreds Of bushels Of fancy" can be
turned out in Il day.
