When child had a very severe at
tack of Diphtheria, which came near prov
ing fatal. Upon recovery the glands of the
neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left
one continued to grow-very slowly at
first, until it was about the size of goose
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be-
came very painful. An incision was made
and large quantity of pus discharged.
The gland was removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken out. For ten
years wore little piece of cloth about an
inch long in my neck to keep the place
open. During this time had to have it
cut open by the doctor every time took
cold or the opening clogged In the Spring
or early Summer of 1884 was persuaded
by my wife to use S. S. S., which did,
strictly in accordance with directions. I
took twenty-six large bottles, and was en-
tirely cured, for I have not suffered since
that time. B. S. RAGIAND.

Teaching n Colt to Back.

After the colt fully understands the
legitimate use Of the halter in lead
ing is a good time to teach it to back
an important and necessary duty in
its after life of usefulness-which is
easily accomplished by complying with
the natural law. Again, by pressing the
extended fingers of one hand between
the point of the shoulder and the
breast bone and using the other hand
at the halter strap to simply keep the
colt straight in line, to. back in any
desired direction. Don't try to force
the colt backward by "yanking" at the
halter or bit, but simply press in this
sensitive chest cavity with the fingers,
and the colt will naturally go back
ward, provided there is nothing OF an
obstruction behind it. When this pres
SUR has been made at the front and
the colt has moved backward Gf it is
only n step it should be rewarded
for this action; then try again. About
the third time this pressure has been
made it is a good time to associate the
word back" with the pressure, and
the reader will be surprised to see
how soon the colt will comprehend
what is wanted. and how willingly the
young thing complies with our every
wish as soon as it understands what is
Wanted.-Horse Sense.

p~erature is mild there Is no particular
harm done, and there is nc question
that to let them stay in the yard saves
labor and trouble, but if the mercury
should fall many degrees during the
hours of darkness every one of the
young horses SO left exposed will re-
ceive a bad setback. 1t does not take
very long to put them up. even If the
horses are inclined to be mean and
contrary in the matter OF going in at
the proper doors, but a little strategy
may be made to overcome that. II the
feed is placed in the troughs about the
same time each right, and then the
doors opened, there will very soon be
0 trouble to keep the coults out
than there will be to get them to en-
ter. Exposure is bad for horses young
and old. A good warm shelter takes
the place of much grain. To force colts
to stay outdoors on these cold nights
when the thermometer shows the mer-
curry at 16 or Is means to give them
the very poorest sort Of a start off into
winter. Even if they are fed we'll they
lose instead of gain, and when a horse
is losing flesh money is also being lost
at the same time. Moreover, such eX-
9osure makes the young horses look
rough and generally in bad shape, and

ANOTHER "NATURE" BOOK.
In which Bridget seton~Cinncy Re-
lates Tales of Her Intimacy
with Wild Animals.

"Wild Brutes l Have Saw by Bridget
Seton-Clancy. This charming group OF es-
says has about it the odor of the backwoods
to a remarkable degree, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. t5Et
The authoress explains, in the preface,
that her early life was spent in the wilds
of northern Minnesota, where she associated
almost entirely with wild animals. She
says:
MANY times | used to set under a tree
for hours at a time, watching for to get a
shot at a rabbit. could shoot good with
a rifle, and have often saw men who were
worse shots than | be. When the other girls
were wasting their time going to district
school, | would be walking through the
woods, watching the wild beasts playing in
the trees and on the grass, and learning
something every minute. l seen lots of
funny incidents, which | will try to mention
in this here book"
Miss Seton-Clancy is one of those free,
untamed souls who occasionally startle the
literary world by their supreme disregard
for the statute in such case made and pro-
vided. If she is ever worried by the rules
of grammar, it does not appear in her work.
She has something to say, and says it straight
from the. shoulder.
This is one of the best books of the year,
and 1t should enjoy a large sale.

HERE AND THERE.

When a farmer begins to cultivate
political aspirations, every weed on
his farm is glad, because they know
they are not liable to be disturbed, at
least until after the election.
We have entirely too many varie-
ties of corn. and the number is null
tiplying every year. Half a dozen we'll
marked varieties would be sufficient
for all purposes and would prove far
more satisfactory.
The scarcity of silos is al indict-
ment of our southern farmers for will
full neglect of duty to their cattle. This
is the cheapest and best preserved food
that can be kept-better even than
shredded corn fodder.
in breeding standard fowls, al
ways select the best of stock, for with
all high scoring birds, both male and
female, there will be plenty of culls,
which should be marketed and only
the best marked kept for breeders.
In selecting turkey hens for breed
ers. choose the largest. Then, with
medium sized gobblers of vigor and
activity, you will secure stock that will
grow to greater weight than the prog
eny of smaller hens and f%orty-pound
males.
If, instead of scolding the beef
trust for putting the prices of meat
animals down below the possibility of
profit to the farmer, farmers would
feed, fatten, butcher and cure their own
meat and sell to city customers, they
could afford to smile instead of scold.
Ashes, or lime, used 100 freely in
chicken house will bleach the shanks,
and should be avoided in all cases
where yellow legs are desired. How
ever, small quantities of lime, especial
ly the chloride, which, in the disin-
fectant form, will do less harm than
good.
One of the most hopeful signs of
the times is the heavy business done
by the nurserymen. They can with
difficulty supply the demand for or
what builds up a country and its bust
ness. When men plant orchards it is
an indication that they are not con-
templating a lore.
According to a test made by the
North Carolina experiment station, the
difference in value Of eggs sold by
dozens and by weight ranges from 20
to SIS per cent. In the test the Light
Brahmas laid the lightest eggs, averag-
ing 20 ounces per dozen, and Black Mi
%rorcas, the heaviest, and averaging 261a
ounces per dozen.
Every farmers family should have
fruit fresh from the tree or vine from
the earliest strawberries in Many to
the latest apple in November. Peaches
can be had from May to October. Then
If he has more than the family can use
fresh, dried, preserved OF canned, the
surplus may be sold.

A PHYSICIANS Statement.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. ll.-Leland Will
hanson, Nd, one OF the cleverest ply
slciansf has made a statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created a profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for a physician to pub
liely endorse anything in the shape Of a
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
After twenty years practice in a sickly
and malarious country | have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
tents whether ethical or not.
Il have used Dodd's Kidney Pills with uni
