Dear Sir: One oi'the most impor-
tant things q farmer does is to keep
his buildingsiu good condition. And
one Of the simplest and easiest ways
Of doing It is to paint them. It's
easier to make money by keeping
your buildings up than to raise an
extra bushel or 80 to the acre.
VIM. Keegan, a farmer near Bear
Valley, Wis, lately painted his
house 1t had always taken IL gal

believe Z gallons OF Devoe lead-and'
zinc would do a good job.
But he used only 6 and took the

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or Over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which. he,
assuming them 10 be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but proba bly,
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent COMPLICATIONS
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. directed to the cause
would have entirely removed.the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting' comfort In
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is q

an experienced and skillful physician,

FENCE OF MOOSE ANTLeRs.
Twenty-Five Hundred of Them Used
TO a Stone Wall.

A very old Indian tradition says
the New York Suns, that all the bull
moose of eastern and northern Maine
make journeys to the west shores of
Moosehead lake at the close of the
year for the purpose of casting their
antlers. Though the story has passed
for fiction among the Caucausian resi-
dents, there are not few old hunters
and woodsmen who believe 1t, and re-
late tales about the abundance of
moose antlers among the maple woods
Is miles north of this village.
Charles Anance, a halfbreed, says
that he filed two boxcars with discard
them to New York where cutlery manu-
facturers purchased the lot for knife
handles. He cleared $500 from a week 8
work.
The first white man who used his
knowledge was old "Cy" Blanchard,
father of Cyrus Blanchard, member
of Gov. Cobb's council. The old man
was the owner of vast timber tracts
in Piscataquis county, and when the
land was sold to settlers the town of
Blanchard was named for him.
AS he grew old he built big house
in the north part of the town and sur
rounded 1t with a high stone wall,
browning the slate coping with a dense
fence of moose antlers, all of which
had been picked UP among the woods
west of the lake. About so years ago,
when star route mail line was put
on between Blanchard and Monson,
a postoffice was established near the
known as MooseIorn.
More than $500 moose antiers have
been placed on top of the Blanchard
stone fence since it was built, though
most of them have been broken by
snow and ice or eaten by insects
The moose of Maine drop their ant
lers from December Is to January l.,
though few very aged ones may re-
tain these ornaments until February
Old hunters say that they could go out
among these woods so years ago and
pick UP a hayrack of fine antlers in a
forenoon, though they have not been
so plentiful of late.
Though moose antlers will keep for
an indefinite time when housed and
removed from moisture, they fall to
pieces very fast when left In the woods.
Those shed in the winter remain firm
until spring but as soon as warm
weather arrives small borer gets into
them and reduces them to fine powder
in few weeks. Though thousands OF
antlers are dropped in the Maine for
ests every winter, no hunter ever finds
one the next summer.
