representation from four to six, Hodge

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
Itching Piles and Other Rectal Troubles
Easily Cured by New
and Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying Is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense. uncon-
trollable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or sa1ve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure. not only for itching piles, but
for every other form of piles, blind,
bleeding, or protruding. The first ap-
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
permanent removal OF the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itching

The Pyramid Pile Cure is probably
the only pile cure extensively recon-

safe, so prompt in the relief afforded,
and so far as known the only positive
cure for plies.

ICE IN THE HUDSON.
Tt IL Making Much Trouble for
Navigation.

New York, Jan. S.-The ice fields in
the Hudson river and New York bay
are more troublesome to navigation
than for many years, river craft being
swept from their moorings in numerous
cases today. Since Sunday the ice has
been a menace to tugs and ferry boats
that traversed the river, but the in
creasing amount of ice from up river
points made navigation today especially
dangerous. The greatest danger came
from the piling up of immense fields of
ice through which narrow fields for
navigation were cut by the big ferries

Onion Culture.

I want to know something about on
ion culture. When is the time to plant
in Eastern North Carolina, to raise
a crop from seed? Is II better to SOW

guano should be put to the acre? How
many pounds of seed. and how many
bushels of sets to the acre in 2is feet
rows? What variety is best for mar
ket? How can they be kept through
winter?
Onions are as easily grown in the
South as they are IN the North or New
England, but they cannot be kept read

onions grow nearly up TO cold weather

Globe Danvers. the Wethersfeld, and
the Yellow Strasbury. These do very
well in the South, but the experience
of most Southern gardeners is that
the italian or Spanish varieties give
better satisfaction. OF these, the Giant

Where there is an easily accessible
market. this is a good crop for an or
binary farmer as well as the market
gardener to grow. On good soil. with
proper preparation and good cultiva-
ton, using a prolific early variety
adapted to our climate, it is not a diff
cult matter to make 1900 dozen ears
per acre, and any farmer who really
understands corn growing can do this
with the "Blount Prolific" a variety
that we have grown for this purpose
for twelve years, and always with sat
sfaction. We have often commended it
to home gardeners, and do not remem-
Der a single instance where they were
not pleased with it or discarded it for
any other variety. 1t is not so early
as some other kinds, but far more
prolific and producing better sized
ears than other kinds.

cultivated right, with six square feet

and succulent stalks, soon after taking

a half feet rows, with stalk every

The Turnip.

ne
As a table vegetable the turnip may
not claim any extravagant word of
praise such as may be accorded the po-
tato or celery. tomato, green corn,
etc. but at the same time it deserves
a modicum of commentator. The fas-
tidious taste is prone to be prejudiced
against things that are used for in
ferior purposes. If turnips were not
relished by sheep and cattle and We're
not generally grown for their use, no
doubt they would be more valued for
human food. There is no question that
the best culinary art can convert them
into a dish not only to be enjoyed by
the man of labor blessed with hearty
appetite but pleasing also to the cpl
cure who may or may not be blessed
with appetite gained from honest toll.
There may not be 500 different ways of
serving them as a famous cook claimed
he could serve eggs, but there certainly
are two ways in which the homely veg
etable can be set before the diner,
either of which would justify his indul-
gence if in shape for enjoying sub
stantial food.
From Mrs. Martel. of Downup farm
two recipes for serving turnips are
derived:
First. 1t is only young, succulent
roots that are adapted to table use.
Size does not matter. but there must be
no pithiness. The turnips are peeled,
cut into slices or cubes and thrown into
fresh water sailed an hour or so before
time to be cooked. They are boiled
thoroughly done, when they are taken
from the water. Then sufficient boiling
milk is added into which the turnips
are well mashed. Use plenty of milk
so as to serve soft and steaming hot.
Butter may or may not be used, but
salt and pepper are imperative.
Second. Use young turnips about the
size of a hickory nut. Cooking them
with sufficiency of young tops as to
mingle the flavor of root and leaf. Sea-
son. of course. with salt and pepper,
boiling with a cube of old homemade
bacon with its streak of lean and streak
of fat. Neither ham nor shoulder will
serve the requirement fully. We know
whereof we speak-there is no need for
any other recipe for serving turnips. Do
not forget the injunction of Mrs. NJ,
season right. cook well done, serve
smoking hot"

The October number of The Smart
Set is a veritable mine of brilliant
stories and poems. "Moored," by An
ma A. Rogers, is the title of the novel
cite which opens the issue. 1t is
story full of power and quiet humor,
dealing with the temptation which
comes to the young wife of a naval
officer while he is abroad and she is
"moored" at home. The tale leaves a
remarkably vivid impression and will
attract wide attention. Gouverneur
Morris, in his short story, THE Lady
of Moods" has written as striking a
piece of work as has recently appeared
in any magazine. In wholly diff
ferent vein is the late Guy Wetmore

Poultry Hints.

Gapes are caused by small worms
taken into the crops in the form of
eggs, Matched by the animal heat, and
spread through the windpipe: these by
degrees, grow and gradually kill the
chick, says the American Cultivator.
Gapes are the result of keeping fowls
in filthy yards, as brooder chicks or
those that roam over the grass plants
away from the house are never troubl-
ed with this disease. To prevent this,
keep the chicks on clean grass or
ground where they have not been kept
continuously. Change the location of
the coops every few days and they will
not contract the disease. In case the
chicks should get the gapes squirt a
few drops of turpentine down the
throat and into the nostrals, sew
ing machine oil can being all right for
this purpose. Take a half dozen horse
hairs from the tail of the horse twist
double and run the loop down the
throat of the chick; remove, slowly
twisting the hair loop around as it is
withdrawn. If the chick is not better
in few hours. repeat.
Examine the roosts for vermin, and
IL found, treat them with some good
Vermin exterminator. Crude petro-
leum is good, or whitewash the inside
of poultry house, using a small quanti-
ty of crude carbolic acid in the wash.
This may be applied with a brush or
any good sprayer Dust the fowls with
some good insecticide. The system
following up at intervals for a few
weeks will exterminate the pests.
If the young cockerels are not desira-
BILE as breeders either sell them as soon
as they weigh one and a-half to two
pounds each or caponize them. DO not
think of going into winter quarters
with a lot of undesirable cockerels.
Feed both old and young chickens
literally with meat scraps and cut
bone. The young are feathering and
the old moulting and they need this
food, especially if confined to yards.
Do not make hen roosts over 2 feet
from the ground, as high perches
often cause humble foot.
The critical point of the young turkey
is during its first six weeks of age.
Turkeys are more or less profitable
up until five years of age.
Keep plenty of grit by them at all
times.
