sHE WAS DIVING
Consu1nption's Deadly Grasp
Broken by Blood Wine.

Mr.. s.. Rayror, 1856 Third ST., S. E.,
Washington, d. c., says
ttIti August last my daughter Elsie
was taken With the typhoid fever she
was In the care of two physicians for
about two months, expecting her to
die every day, After the fever broke
both doctors said it had left her with
CONSUMPTION, and that it was only a
question of few days, and that they
could do nothing more for her. She
then could not raise her hands over her
head. My wife suggested that we
try Blood Wine as the doctors had
ceased to give her any medicine. We
commented the Blood Wine with
excellent results. After taking the. first
bottle she got out of bed and sat III an
invalid chair, and after the second
bottle she came downstairs aud Kept on
improving right along until she had
taken six bottles, and now che is as
we'll and strong as she ever was III her
life, and if you should sec her you
would not think there we're any signs
Of consumption"
Read what Mr.. Peter Berry Of Pearl
ST, Augusta; Me-, who was avery sick
tf1an, says:
z. A very hard cold settled on my
lungs, causing most obstinate cough
that no medicine given me would re.
lieve During many months / suffered
untold misery, my lung trouble growing
worse. My physician was batfled and
finally told me I would have to go to
q warmer climate. saw Blood Wine
advertised and decided to try it. After
taking it regularly Twas greatly pleased
with its results and am now we'll. My
astounding recovery was a surprise to
my physicians. Those whom l have
since advised to use it believe with
ME that ittis the greatest medicine in
the world.''

That eccentricity is not confined Ia

farm near Norristown, Pa, The bovine
is IL years old, but no one has eyer
been able to induce her to drink water
from a bucket, trough or brook, all
though many attempts have been
made to have her do so. Nothing less
than stream Of water pumped from a
cistern for her individual use Y
her vanity. Indulgence on the part
OF her caretaker has fastened her In
the habit beyond all hope Of cure, The
COW always grasps the spout of the
pump in her mouth after a good
stream flows. Then very little water
escapes while she is drinking. The
COW Is Of mixed breed, with short
horn Jersey predominating. and Fred
Edmunds, who is in charge of the
farm, is at loss to know 10 what par
ticular strain Of ancestry she owes the

A M~issourian reports having tried
the method of keeping tomatoes In
lime, with varying success. Each to-
mato was wrapped in paper and placed
In shallow boxes--one layer between
two layers Of lime 10 each box. The
tomatoes kept best thus stored in a
loft where the temperature was about
40 degrees. The tomatoes should be
gathered in October and be dry men
packed. A small green one will keep
az well as any. but is liable TO be
wilted when It ripens. Our friend says
he has kept tomatoes In this way un-
til March and April. He prefers a
green tomato gathered Just before it
commences TO turn. Amy tough.

TALK ABOUT GINSENG.


Young ginseng is very tender, hui
with age it becomes more hardy and
with a little care and knowledge of its
habits may be uansplanted with
safety. 1t should be set in the fall;
September or October are considered
the best months. 1t can also be set in
the spring with good results during
February and March. Some prefer
growing it in a thicket or the edge Of
woods, but | think it is much better
to grow it ont in the open field and
provide an artificial shade. 1t cannot
stand the direct rays Of the sun, and
will not grow unless shaded. A very
convenient shade is made by setting
nine-foot posts 212 feet deep in the
ground, Nail heavy strips or rails to
top Of posts and then cover with
brush.
The soil should be rich and loose to
insure rapid growth. The plot of
ground should be north or northeast;
the latter being the most preferable.
1 WIZ nv SlUW " advantage ON EDlllh
or west land. | have hunted the woods
in this section but never found a wild
plant growing in land with that ex-
posure. To insire good drainage,
choose a plot of ground that Is a little
rolling, and then dig a ditch around IL
from y to 1G inches deep and about
the same in width. This will carry off
the water and make a sure protection
against moles. Beds for planting
should be about four feet wide and any
convenient length.
A coat of leaves and leaf mold
Is necessary as a protection during WIN
ter, 1t is estimated that on one acre
10000 plants can be set. Ginseng usu-
ally comes up in May and blooms usu-
ally in June and July. BY September
there will be a cluster of bright red
berries, each containing one to three
seeds. As soon as the seeds are fully
ripe the top begins TO die. The next
bud forms on the root. but lies
dormant until the coming spring.-El-

WATER AFFECTS BUTTER.


All well water, whether 1t be. from
shallow wells or deep wells, contains
bacteria, Water from shallow wells
is polluted with impurities to a great
er degree than water from deep wells.
The conditions which surround shall
low wells do not guarantee a creamery
pure water at different seasons of the
year, Filthy surface water is all the
time seeping in from the sides, espe-
clally during the wet season. In the
spring of the year, or at any time dur
ing the different seasons when heavy
rains are frequent, shallow, open or
bored wells act as a receptacle for in
lowing, nasty surface water contain
ing a great deal Of organic matter. and
where organic matter is present
germs of different species are always
sure to be present.
Besides being a receptacle for such
inhoWing water, shallow wells serve
IN the capacity of traps for a number
oil animals, such as rats, mice, rabbits,
Skunks, minks and squirrels. The
presence Of m or more Of these dead
animals in an open well is sure to re-
suit in water strongly impYegratcd
with undesirable odors and il mutlti-
tude of undesirable and putrciJctiva
organisms, which, when distributed
through butter, will produce no good
results. If every open well was
drained and searched for such dead
animals, very few would be searched
in vain.
The writer has seen water used
which was i~mpregnated with impur-
tiles and bad odor5 to such an extent
that it impaired directly to the butter
this same undesirable odC: and taste.
The very fact that water from certain
wells has a clean appearance and pure
taste does not necessarily indicate
it is free from undesirable germs.
drilled wells are much the best
supplying creameries with water.
They cannot in any possible way serve
a trap for small animals as can the
open wells. Germs do not enter the
soil so deep as to cause water to be
infested with them, so the number of
germs deep well water contains large

exposure to it or to unclean recep-

on strict enforcement Of the law. Ii
is a question whether the farmer or the
