HOPE FOR BIG EATERS.
These Famous Old Men Always INDUCED
in Good Square Meals.

The man with good appetite has Al
hard time nowadays. All the faddists
are shouting that he eats too much.
If he doesn't jump at the chance OF
fasting forty days he is snubbed. And il
he doesn't joyously cut out two of his
quondam three meals day he is scorned
But once in long while he does get n
little comfort A writer in Truth gave
him hope recently by telling about IA
nous old men who had been hearty
eaters.
There was Victor Hugo. who. in the
very stronghold of French chefs, kept an
Irish cook who herself attended her mas
ter at table. She hated messes and
GRAVES, and if she thought dish un-
wholesome she refused TO let him partake
of il.
She had her reward in the heartiness
with which he ate of her roast and boiled
Niands-such as a leg of mutton, rib Of
beef ham, CANNON of Wiltshire bacon
and green's, II dish one hardly ever tastes
in France.
She and Nine. Drouet. the tactful
friend and secretary of Victor Hugo
through the greater part of his literary
career. were agreed in satisfying to the
full his tondness for early spring veec-
tables and new potatoes, AS he insisted
on them being passed around the table,

Swedish Willow Grouse for Michigan

Hoed Crops in the Orchard.

Hoed Crops in the Orchard.
The best orchardists are averse to
growing anything in the orchards but
the trees even when the latter are
young. They argue, and properly, that
the growing trees need all the virtue
there is in the soil and that II the ap-
pie crops In future years are to be OF
any value they must be provided for
during the earlier years OF the trees.
There are fruit growers, on the other
hand, who insist that a hoed crop will
be Of benefit to the trees, and that this
may be conslreded SO under certain
conditions and up to certain limits.
If the soil In the orchard is kept up
to the highest state Of fertility SO that
the trees will not suffer the want Of
the portion Of the fertilizer taken by
the hoed crop, then the latter can do
no harm, indeed, it Will be Of value
because the soil will receive certain
amount of cultivation which, perhaps
would not be given 1t If it were not
for the hoed crop. Work the hoed
crop in the orchard cautiously, and
watch the effect on the trees.

A few years ago there was consider
able enthusiasm regarding German
carp. A pond covering one acre will,
it is stated, hold 1000 carp to growing

will eat anything that hog will CON
sumo. even corn, and will gain about
three pounds annually until it reaches
10 or 10 pounds. Belonging to the
sucker family of fishes, the carp la.

When your pigs weigh about fifty
pounds each, turn about twenty-five
head in an acre Of alfalfa pasture ANA
they will make a gain Of about 100
pounds each during The growing season,
says an Indiana farmer. They will
need no other feed. but can be given a
supplementary feed of grain if YOU
wish the gain to be better. From this
you can ligure up fine return for the
use of an acre of alfalfa--2, 800 pounds
Of pork, worth at the low figure of 81

much higher now and you can get
more for your pork. Again your hogs
will almost always be free from any
disease.

He WENT ON CRUTCHES
All Medicines Failed Until Dr.. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills Cured His
rheumatism.

"Some years ago" says Mr.. w. II.
Clark, printer. living at 6la Buchanan
street, Topeka, Kans., - had a bad at
tack Of rheumatism and could not seem
to get over it. All sorts of medicines
failed to do me any good and my trouble
kept getting worse. My feet were so
swollen that l could not wear shoes and
had to 60 on crutches. The pain was
terrible.
Zone day I was setting the type of an
article for the paper telling what DR..
Williams Pink Pills had done for man
afflicted as was and was SO impressed
with it TINT l determined to give the
medicine trial. For year my rheu-
matism had been growing worse, but
after taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills
began to improve. The pain and swell
ing all disappeared and can truthfully
say that l haven't felt better Ill the past
twenty years than l do right now. l
could name, off hand, a half dozen peo-
pie who have used Dr. Williams Pink
Pills at my suggestion and who have re-
ceived good results from them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor any
thing to cause drug habit. They do not
act on the bowels but they actually make
new blood and strengthen the nerves.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure rheuma-
tism because they make rich, red blood
aud no man or woman can have healthy
blood and rheumatism at the same time.
They have also cured many cases of
anamia, neuralgia, sciatica, partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataXia and other dis
eases that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment.

Pills or they will be sent by mail, post

Caring for Chicks.

When chicks are removed from the
incubator to the brooder great care
should be taken that they do not be-
come chilled. The floor Of the brood
er should be covered with fine, clean
chaff. Fine sand and clean water
should be in the brooder from the be-
ginning. All the fine, dry bread
crumbs they will pick up every two
hours should constitute the feed for
several days, gradually adding rolled
oats, hardboiled eggs. cracked wheat
johnny cake, millet seed, etc Milk and
water should always be kept in the
fountains. When three weeks Old

thrown into the brooder in the place

THE BABY'S TEETH.
They Make Trouble for Everybody-How
to Ease Trying Time.

When the baby is teething, the diges
tive organs are being prepared to take
the different kinds of food and unless
the child be very healthy. the nervous
system is liable to be more or less irri-
tated. Owing to the conditions at this
time, says Good Health. the food should
be changed gradually, and the child kept
in as good physical condition as posi-
Bile.
The drooling so commonly seen at this
time is a provision of nature, and is
cooling to the gums. One may expect
to find the gums in an intlamed condi-
ton. Frequent swabbing of the parts
with cool water, and the application of
q weak solution of menthol, locally,
usually reduces the fever, and leaves a
cooling sensation.
When the gums become dry and white
and the baby seems to be irritable, the
child should be taken to n dentist or n
physician and the gums lanced thorough
ly, which will give relief. There is not
much pain connected with the opera
ton.
The baby teeth should be kept in re-
pair and allowed to remain the full
length of time in order to give the right
path for the permanent teeth which are
to take their place.
