down to Augusta again, tonight, but
not to fight fire this time. These men,
together with those from Halloweli,
rendered such efficient service at the
fire that DR.. J. W. North, arranged to
give them a complimentary banquet
at the Cony House. A night was fixed
for this banquet and Chief Dow and his
men were at the station ready to take
passenger train No. 80 for Augusta, but
just before the train was due a freight
with a burning box car came in and
collided with an engine standing on the
main line just below the station and
piled up. delaying traffic. An alarm of
fire was rung in and the firemen pro-
ceeeded to light the fire. TIL track was
so blocked by the wreck that No. 80
was cancelled and the firemen were
obliged to telephone their regrets and
return to their homes banquetless. The
banquet has never been given up and,
tonight has been fixed for it to occur.
The men are all hoping that nothing
will happen this time to prevent them

Mrs. V. II. Bush, III Bridge St.
Augusta. Me. says:-"One evening /
WAS suffering from one Of my usual
sick headaches. / was pacing the floor
and crying. | was in such pain.
Nothing seemed to give me any relief
so thought 1 would try Quinona. The
first dose helped me little and in a
quarter of an hour took another dose
and my headache almost Immediately
disappeared and I went to bed and
slept soundly. Formerly after sick
headaches the next day I would have
red circles under my eyes and in many
other ways I would show the effects of
these headaches. The morning after
took Quinona l did not show any effect
of having a headache the night before.
l have not had a headache since taking
Ouiuona that time. 1t is wonderful
preparation"
What sufferer from headaches can
read such a convincing letter as Mrs.
Bush's and then fail to get bottle of
Quinona and put it to the severest test?
Quinona will stop any headache and by
taking it regularly you can be per-
maneutly cured of them.
Mrs. c. Baird. II Pine St, Augusta,
says:
"A sample bottle of Quinona helped
me wonderfully with backaches. |

them. They were due. I think, to kidney
trouble. Quinona took all the pain
away and that bearing down feeling
and seemed to put fresh strength and
vitality and seemed to give me new
life. QuinOna is a wonderful cure for
backaches."
IL YOU suffer from backaches don t
fill your stomach up with kidney cures.
Do as Mrs. Baird did. take QuinOna

discovery contains. You are seeing for
yourself from day to day proof of
marvellous cures in Augusta. You
can't have indigestion. dyspepsia.

Butter Making on the Farm.

The time of the year is now here
when it requires the best skill and
conveniences for making high grade
butter. During the early spring and
late fall the climate in Illinois Is almost
perfect for making butter. The carly
winter weather IL such that 1t Is
difficult to control the temperature OF

controlled fine and uniform article

The time is past when it will pay for
the ordinary farmer to make butter un-
less he has practically alt Of the con-
veniences found in an ordinary
creamery. Cream should not be heid
more than two days, and better
butter Is made when churned every
day. The important point during
winter is to have the cream properly
riDcncd before churning. and the ripcn-
ing should not take more than twenty
or twenty-four hours. No rule can be
made as to the temperature at which
cream should be held, but It can easily
be determined by experience. In my
dairy room in ordinary winter weather
if the cream is warmed to 80 one
morning 1t will be all right to churn it
the next morning. -a-& 60 80
When separator IS used the cream
should be churned at lower tempera-
ture than cream from Cooley or shot
gun cans. Separator cream should be
churned at about So, or even lower II
the churn and room are warm. Better
have cream little too warm and pro-
perry ripened when ready to churn
than not to have it cured or ripeiied,
because it is an easy matter to use ice
and cool it properly. It is dimcult
matter to warm half rlpened cream
without injuring the erain and flavor
of the butter. It is -Ais0 dimcult to

sum of $4,000 which the Legislature
appropriated for an exhibit will be re-

cision was to turn the management Of
