FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS
Did Not Disappear Until the Blood
Was Renewed by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner-
vous fever. During the course of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left so sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound
flesh to repair waste and give new vigor
to feeble nerves, the most convenient
and economical. Snch a remedy is DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
One proof of this is the experience of
Mr.. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro,
Maine. He says: II had a severe at
tack of typhoid fever late in the fall

First Might in the Haunted House.

First Night in the Haunted House.
The interior of the Haunted
House." with the exception of the
front room, was in fair order. There
were six rooms in all, quite comfort
ably furnished; and the kitchen was
well stocked with utensils and pro-
visions. Upon entering the place the
first thing to do was TO light the lamps
in every room; then to open up the
prison door and allow DR.. Huntington
and his daughter to remain while in
conversation. While these two were
consoling, Lang and Wilson explored
the house.

enlist your sympathies with me l am
going to make confidant of you. |
am going to place my life in your
keeping"
"You can trust me-" simply replied
Wilson, and he meant it.
In as few words as possible Lang
enlightened Wilson on the fact that
there was tunnel under the house,
besides telling him, by way of settling
any fears he might have on the sub
ject, that the house was not haunted,
but that its reputation had been given
1t by Golden as a means of hiding the
entrance.

sounded every part of the ground, and
have never discovered it,"

herself ut the head of the mob. All
night the revolutionists whetted them
selves up. In the meantime the gov
ernor had got out troops, and the mob
gathered in the morning, facing the
soldiers in the great square. The gov
ernor called on the mob to dispense and
said that if after fifteen minutes they
did not dispense he would order the
troops to fire. Five minutes went by,
and the Widow Llnde, in red, climbed
a iamppost and cried out encourage
ment and exhorted steadfastness for
the revolution. The soldiers began to
call out to the people to go away, as If
they were ordered to fire they must do
so, and they did not want to kill any
body.
Kill him! Kill hint screamed the
Widow Linde, pointing to the governor.
Several revolver shots were fired
from the crowd, but no one was hit.

The Combination Cow.

There is incessant warfare between
the specialists in COW breeding, ard
the man who wants cow that is both
beef maker and milk maker. First
the combination COW was called a
general purpose COW, then a duel pu:-
pose COW, and now some one has hit
upon the name given above. While
the specialist is right in some things,
he is wrong in others. Certainly the
man that is producing milk with the
idea of selling it must produce that
milk from the COW that will make it as
cheaply as possible, and this he will
find among the distinctly dairy cows,
But there is a place for the conbina-
ton COW. On the high priced land in
Illinois and adjoining states the man
who is producing beef cattle is learn
ing that it is impossible to make
money by producing beef cattle alone.
He must utilize the milk-giving power
of his cows as much as possible.
Therefore he wants a COW with beee
form and deep powers of milk giving.
These kinds of cows are in existence.
They are not suitable to go into the
dairy. but are suitable as an adjunct
to beef making-Farmers Review.

Selling or Shipping Poultry.

That most poultry raisers and farm.
| ers have not outgrown the plan of SELL
Ing, in, the fall and winter is very evi-
dent. In localities where killeries are
located there Is a good demand for
poultry the whole year around and
sales are made at any season. Not SO
in every locality hence 1t is necessary
for shipments to ,be made at certain
seasons when buyers are operating.
The. price Of good poultry is satisfac-
tory and the demand is likewise very
good at present.
Where only a small number of birds
are to be sold 1t may be we'll to sell to
some local dealer, but IL a large ship
ment is to be made It will pay to ship
to some commission firm of reliability
in some of the large markets. Such
firms will be glad to make daily market
reports and customers will be kept
posted as to the state Of the market.
1t may be very wise plan for sew
eral in a neighborhood to- go together
and make a shipment, sending it direct
to large commission firms. BY this
means saving will be made of hand
ling the shipment through a third
party.
In shipping live poultry 1t is a good
plan to grade the shipment. The fowls
should be fed all they will eat just
prior to shipment and for this purpose
no better feed can be found than
shelled corn. They should also nave
plenty of water. A shipper informs
us that 1875 pounds of live poultry will
consume pounds of shelled corn on a
S00-rhile journey-Iowa Homestead

Hoo Experiments Of Long Ago.


An American farmer, writing about
the middle of the last century, gives
some answers which he received to the
question, How much pork will a
bushel of corn make 2" In some exJ
periments made by Henry Ellsworth
at Lafayette, Ind, with young pork
ers in a pen, fed with corn in the ear,
he gained twelve pounds Of pork per
bushel Of corn. Samuel II. Clay Of
Kentucky, gained 17h pounds per
bushel giving the corn in the form
of cooked meal. L. Buckingham of
Cadiz, Cattarangus county, N. Y, says
that pig that weighed fifty two
pounds when commenced with, fed on
the spare milk from one cow and 500
pounds of raw corn meal, weighed 1854
pounds Give or dead not stately when

was fed on fifty-six pounds OF corn
meal mixed with hot water, thin
enough to answer for both victuals
and drink. This was consumed in six
days and half and the pig gained
eighteen pounds in weight. Another
farmer in Chester county made his
first experiment with five very ordi-
nary pigs, which weighed in October,
1851, 249 pounds. They We're fed on
corn and cob meal, boiled, of which
they consumed in thirty days 279
pounds and gained eighty seven
pounds live weight. In the next thir-
ty-two days they consumed S75k
pounds and gained seventy-five
pounds live weight. making a gain
of 1851 pounds in sixty-two days, hav-
ing consumed 654h pounds Of corn
and cob meal, which equals about 91s
bushels pure meal, or one bushel pure
meal cooked made 1868 pounds live
weight. His next experiment was
with lot of very superior pigs of
the Chester breed, which weighed on
February 7th, 1853, sos pounds, and
gained 205 pounds in twenty-seven
days. on a consumption of 65S pounds
corn-cob meal and 125 pounds whole
corn, both being scalded.
