Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feeling
the liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish and inactive, the digestion i'm
paired, with little or no appetite, no am
bition for anything, and a feeling that
the whole body and mind needs toning
up. The trouble is, that during winter,
there has been an accumulation ofwaste
matter in the system. Herbine will re-
move it, secure to the secretions a right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully restore
the wasted tissues and give strength in
place of weakness. SOC at A.. j. Jones.

A Just M an.

Down in Oregon, l won't say just
where, there is a settlement OF Scotch
Presbyterians, who retain all their old
country habits" said globe trotter
the other day mot long ago the
minister, while in the midst of his
sermon, noticed one of his parishion
ers peacefully sleeping. The divine
suspended his discourse and address
ed Willie in a loud tone waking him
up, and then gave him severe re
buke.
"Wullie was very angry and after
services were concluded went up to
the pastor and made an indignant
speech, protesting against the humil.
iation which had been put upon him.
He concluded by saying:
Your ain wife was sleepin' at the
time. l saw her before | went to
sleep myself.
THE pastor tried to smooth the
matter over and told Willie that ii
he should ever see the pastors wife
sleeping in church thereafter, to raise
his rand and she should receive the
same correction which had been i'm
posed upon Willie.
1.-The next Sunday, when the SER
mon had reached aboat fourthly, Wul
lies hand went up. The minister
looked over at his family pew, and
there, sure enough, his spouse was
wrapped in slumber. Mindful of his
word, the preacher thus addressed the
wife of his bosom:
Susan! Susan! l dinna marry
We for your fortune, for We had none.
[ dinna marry We for your beauty
the whole congregation can see that;
and il We haze nae grace I've made a
sair bargain Seattle Post-Intelli-

That our farm animals are overfed
with corn no one questions and one
of the most difficult things to accom-
plish at the present time is to induce
farmers to see wherein it is profitable
to cut down on the corn diet. Corn
is grown with comparative case while
other feed stuffs must, perhaps, be
bought, SO that it is natural to feed
the corn. 1t would not be sound adj
vice to advocate the selling of the
corn and buying other grains with the
proceeds for the feeding Of swine be-
cause the margin of profit in selling
swine is so small, but on the average
farm it is quite possible to utilize 9th
er feed stuffs and odds and ends,
through the early period of the pigs,
life so that it will grow bone and mus
Gle and thus be in shape to fatten at
the smallest possible expense. It is,
surely profitable to buy a reasonable
amount Of bran to use with the skim
milk in feeding young pigs, while the
same plan might be ruinous after the
pig was six months old.

Some Creamery swindle.

When the creamery Swindles that
are now being worked in various parts
of Missouri have been exposed, the.
exposure will probably make communi
ties really adapted to dairying over
cautious about engaging in the bust
ness. Prof. r. M. Washburn, of the
Missouri Agricultural College, who has
wide experience in the creamery bust
ness, gives the following informations
that will help communities to deter
mine when it is wise to build Il cream
cry:
Whenever the milk from at least
100 cows cannot be guaranteed to be-
absolutely forthcoming at once" says
Prof Washburn, 'the creamery had
better not be built The cost Of max
ing butter will be about 6 cents per
pound, and no farmer company can
stand such expense. If 500 or 600
COWS can be secured in the five-mile
radius, the cost of making a pound
of butter can be reduced to 3A or
cents, which is probable basis of
business, and the creamery will bene-
fit the community. A good little cream
cry that can handle this amount of
business can be built and equipped for
$1,000 or $500, if the community will
let the creamery promoter alone and
buy an outfit of some reputable man
ufacturer. If cheese factory is pre-
ferred, for the same number of cows
it ought not to cost more than $1,000
or $1,000"
community which does its own
thinking and organizing can establish
creamery very much better and at
very much less cost by dealing direct
with those who manufacture creamery
supplies. There are several firms In
this branch of the business, and they
are not hard to find. They will furnish
estimates and plans Of creameries suit
able for any conditions, and send men
to erect the plant to the satisfaction
of the buyer. and give all necessary
guarantees for the quality and dura:-
bility of the goods which are sold. The
creamery operator gets his money, and
then it Is no concern of his whether
the plant succeeds or fails; but the,
manufacturer is responsible, and
stands by his gooGs-St Paul Dis
patch.

Cleanliness in Feeding Poultry.

Do not throw the soft food for the
fowls on the ground, but give it In.
troughs, or in any suitable vessel into
which the fowls cannot place their
feet; but hard food, such as the
grains, may be scattered with advant-
age Give the food preferably in the
yard or the fields, and change the feed
ing place frequently. When there is
not pure stream Of water, supply the
fowls daily with fresh water, which
should be placed in the shade in q YES
sci into which they cannot get their
feet. Bear in mind that the germs Of
disease are easily carried from an In
fected farm on the soles of the boots
and feet Of the attendant Some dis
eases are invariably produced in dirty
surroundings, and they can best be
avoided by cleanliness and disinfec-
tion These preventive measures will
guard against many diseases to which
poultry are liable, chiefly roup, gapes,
tuberculosis and diseases of the comb
and skin, and will also improve the
general condition of the fowls, as we'll
as materially increase their market.
