How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a surprise to many to learn
that a evere cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days time.
The first symptoms of a cold are a dry,
loud cough, a p~rofuse watery discharge
from the nose, and a thin, white coat
ing on the tongue. When Chamber
lain's cough remedy is taken every
hour on the first appearance of these
symptoms, it counteracts the effect of
the cold and restores the system to a
healthy condition within a day or two.

breed in November and June. I put
them in a field or pasture by them

after they are done eating give them
fresh water from the we'll, and once

tional Stock food per sow, and they
will come in heat about the same time.
I have a boar in a pen handy to get
him in and out, and lot him serve them

THOUGHTS FOR EVERY DAY.

Monday.-Be accurate, practical and
persistent.
Tuesday.-Remember that what one
man has done another can do, IL he
but find the way, fit himself for the
journey. and travel 1t.
Wednesday.-Look at the highest
average rewards of the calling you
propose to adopt, and IL the same
efforts In some other direction would
have brighter prospect, choose the
latter.
Thursday.-Mind your own business.
Your business will not mind itself, and
nobody will mind 1t for you.
Friday.-There are no doubt excep-
lions to every rule. so when you find
a man sble and willing to faithfully
mind your business for you, and your
business is big enough to need his
help, realize that you have a treasure,
and recollect that he is a man of in
telligence, capable of knowing when
he Is justly or generously treated, or
otherwise

NATURE CLEANS HOUSE.
Rainy Season in Caracas Is the
Salvation Of the South Amer
lean City.

Just what Caracas would do with
out its rainy season I cannot imagine,
for the city is far from being clean
and sanitary. writes George M. l.
Brown. IN Charming Caracas" In st.
Nicholas. Garbage is thrown into
the yards for the vultures to feed
upon; dust and papers accumulate in
the streets, and the visitor is about
to pronounce the city the dirtiest he
has ever seen. when nature suddenly
decides to put things to rights. An
ordinary rainfall would not suffice
now; thorough flushing is needed,
and nothing short of a deluge will
do 1t.
But somewhere up in the mountain
tops the deluge is forming, and pres
emily a great, black vapor overspreads
the valley. 1t comes slowly at first,
as If to warn the people to go indoors,
but when 1t has acquired sufficient
density II falls. In a moment, al
most. the streets and courtyards ara
flooded, the fantastic waterspouts that
overhang the sidewalks pour out their
streams like gigantic kettle spouts,
and loud is the noise of the splashins
and scattering.
Half an hourlater one tiptoes along
the shining pavements. as IL over a
newly scrubbed floor: above him is a
sky of spotless blue, while the only
clouds To be seen are Insignificant
sides. Yet, in an incredibly short
space of time the whole process may
be repeated.

Care Of Mounting Hens.

It is time for the hens to be out Of
the moulting period, but If there are
any that are still so afflicted it is es-
sential that they should have the best
care and plenty of stimulating food.
They should have wheat and corn and
oil meal, and If they are given soft
feed once or twice a week that has been
literally peppered it will do them much
good. A meat ration also, once or
twice a week, will be advantageous.
The drain on their vitality is quite
severe, and they must have good care
to asst them in growing new coat
of feathers and begin laying early In
the winter again. There is no time OF
the year when good care is more neces-
sary than 1t Is through the moultinS

shorts added to make a good rich feed.
Five or six days before they are due
to have pigs I put them in their pens,

ten sows l could expect to raise from
eighty to eighty-flve early pigs and
