NJ MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
 DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Wns Freed from Troubles That Had Made Life wretcbed for
 Many Years.

Tho immediate causes of headaches vary. but most of them come from poor or noisoned blood. In anenia the blood is scanty or thin the nerves are imper- fectly nourished and pain is tho way in which they express their weakness. In colds the blood absorbs poison from tho mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates ths nerves and produces pain. In rheu- matism, malaria and the grip, the poison in the blood produces like discomfort In indigestion the gases from the impure matter kept in the system affect the blood in the same way.
 The ordinary headache-cures at best give only temporary relief. They deaden the pain but do not drive the poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills on the contrary thoroughly renew the blood and the pain disappears perma- nemtly. Women i'll particular have found these pills an unfailng relief ill head aches caused by an@mia.
 Miss Stella Blocker recently said; "Dr Williams Pink Pills did ms a great deal of good. I had headache nearly all the time. After had taken three boxes of these pills I became entirely well. ''
 "How long had you suffered 2" she was asked.
 For several years. can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came on by slow degrees. I had been going down hill for many years"
 Did you have any other ailments?"
 "I was very weak and sometimes had fever. My liver and kidneys were af- fected as well as my head"
 How did you come to taks the rem edy that cured you?"
 II saw i'll southern newspaper a statement of some person who was cured of like trouble by Dr. Williams Pink Pills. My physician hadn't done me any good, so bought a box of these pills. After had taken one box felt so much better that kept on until became en- tirely we'll"
 Miss Blocker's home is at Leander. Louisiana. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists. Besides headache they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nervous prostration, partial paralysis and rheu- matism.

Deterioration of Corn Fodder,

As our readers all know from ex-
perience, corn fodder deteriorates
very rapidly during the winter sea-
son if left standing in the shock,
especially if the shocks are small and
not properly built or tied, thus ex-
posing large amount of the fodder
to the fall and winter rains. The
reason why the COW does not take as
kindly to corn fodder in the spring
as in the fall is because it has de-
Perforated, often very rapidly, in
quality.
Where our readers shred their
fodder, the quicker it is done the
better. They do not need to wait
until the fodder is perfectly dry.
Just as soon as the corn is fit to crib
the fodder should be shredded and
stored away. Two tons of fodder
shredded as soon as the corn is safe
to crib is worth three tons at least
of fodder shredded in February, pro.
vided, Of course, it is shredded when
free from dew or rain. 1t is not the
remaining sap that deteriorates fod-
der, because it does not have in it
the bacteria that cause ferment and
decay. 1t is the bacteria that come
i'm from rain that do the damage
either in clover hay or corn fodder.
One of the great advantages of
shredded fodder is that it enables
us, when done in time, to prevent
this rapid deterioration Of corn fod-
der which always takes place in the
shock and for which there is no
other remedy. .-Wallace's Farmer.

An Englishman who has lived in

has not yet been naturalized, an
nounced his intention of becoming
an American citizen last week. His
reason for this step is unique. Dur
ing his residence in America he has
been firm in the telief that anything
English was exactly rightand would
admit OF no contradiction. Among
his favorite English notions was the
spelling of honor, color, labor, ETC.,
which are spelled by many across
the pond honour, colour, lobour, and
SO on. A short time ago the Briton
noticed in Philadelphia paper an
article which stated that the official
organ Of English conservatism, the
London Times, had adopted the
American spelling. He was at first
amazed, then he doubted, andat last
he took the trouble Of writing to the
Times. Upon receiving an afirma-
tive reply he was SO Disguised that
he said it was no use being an
Englishman any more when Britons
were becoming Americanized. Sc
he took out his first papers.-Phila.

Origin of the Jersey.

The thouaands of men and women
engaged in milking the mild-eyed
Jerseys seldom stop to ask where
these gentle cattle came from. Yet
they have history and long one.
Normandy in France is land of ro-
nance, which has figured extensively
in song and story. Who has not
heard the Chimes Of Normandy"
the beautiful opera in which is set
forth the plaintive Legend Of the
Bells" the barcarolle Of the boat
man, the saucy music of the gossip
ing Serpolette, the love-making bal
lads of Germaine and the queer do
ings of old miser Gospard in the
depths of the haunted chateau, 1t
was in this land Of merry peasants,
of moonlight and mystery, that the
little Jersey cattle were first known
and there jeanette and Jean, Pierot
and Shouchon learned to love them
for their soft tempers and generous
abundance of milk. 1t is not known
exactly when the Jerseys were i'm
ported to England, but it was prob
ably during the first half of the
eighteenth century. About that time
they were found in the Channel Isles
between France and England, from
one of which they derived the name
by which they have ever since been
known. A French writer in 1916
gave an interesting explanation as
to how the Jersey obtained lis SUI
periority to other cattle as dairy
animal. 1t is attributed to the fact
that few farmers constantly at
tended to raising stock from COWS Of
the best milking qualities, which
attention prosecuted for long num-
ber of years in small country like
the Isle of Jersey, where such su.
perior qualities would soon be
known, led eventually to the excel.
lence Of milking and butter yielding
properties in the race at large. III
other words it was by careful selec.
ton and breeding, which by heredlt,
gradually centered the good quail
ties and transmitted them to descend
ants. This could not have beer
done in any extended country anc
thus the breed originally coming
from Normandy, was greatly i'll
proved in its new home in Jersey.
The Jerseys were imported int,
the United States during the las
century, but it was not until com
paratively recent date that they wcr'
used extensively. With the exten
sion of our dairy interests, they wer'
found incompatible for the purpose
