The cure. In my opinion. to overcome

Last year, after having my little

Remedies, and was so we'll pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cgticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running ore In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a valuable house

A Cheap Drinking Fountain.

A good drinking fountain may be
made of an ordinary red clay pot Of
large size, appended in a aucer or
plate after the pot is filled with water.
The hole in the bottom must, of
course, be stopped up. A cork will
serve the purpose, provided the hole
be first reamed out to make the cork
fit snugly, so that it may be air tight.
The roaming car be done with any
suitable instrument at hand-a pair
of scissors with the blades closed
will do. One or two notches should
be Eled or sawed in the rim of the
pot, not quite as deep as the plate. If
deeper than the plate the water will
run out of the pot Immediately, in
stead of keeping the plate full for the
chickens to drink from.
The arrangement is said to be SUI
perior to regular crockery drinking
fountains, because the red clay, being
unglazed, is slightly porous, and the
air blowing on it keeps the water cool
if the pot is set in a shady place.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has a peculiar tonic effect on the fe-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years l suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated theentire system that l

five weeks / was a well woman. / have rec

No other medicine in the world has

fed endorsement or has such a record

Partisan Meat suppIY.

The last year for which complete
statistics concerning the meat sup
ply of Paris have been published is
1903. From the reports of that year
it appears that 267,O27 cattle. 274.SsO
calves and 2,047,770 sheep were
slaughtered at the city abattoirs and
produced 156,007, $50 kilograms (or
327, 616,4s5 pounds) of meat, of which
1923, 712, 1870 Kilograms (259,7S5,57S
pounds) were consumed in Paris, and
49, s2, $50 Kilograms exported. Some
of the choicest of French beef goes to
England, where the illets and other
prime cuts are in demand for clubs,
hotels, and the best class Of restau-
rants. During the same year there
were killed 282, sos hogs, which yield
ed 27,657, $50 Kilograms (58, 1880 ABS

TRANSFERRING BEES.
Easily Done by lnVerting Hive and
Driving Up Into Empty Box.

There are at least three ways OF
transferring bees from box hives. The
old method is to pry open the old
hives with cold chisel and hammer,
cut out the combs and fit them into
the movable frames, fastening them in
with sticks and strings. After trying
this method on several colonies, /
must pronounce 1t a messy, sticky
job.
A much better way is to drive them
out by the following plan. Take the
hive to be transferred under a tree
or in the shade of a building and turn
1t bottom up. Place on top of it an
empty box Of the same size, blow in a
little smoke at the bottom occasional
ly and drum on the old hive with a
couple of sticks for 10 or is minutes.
Nearly all bees and queen will go
up into the empty box.
In the meantime place the hive in
which you wish to put the bees IN the
stand where the old hive stood so the
field bees that Will be coming in all
the time have a place to go. They will
be rushing in and out again, not know
ing what to make of it. Then carry
the box of bees and dump them in
front of the new hive and they will
soon run in and make themselves at
home.
Stand the old hive in a e location
and drum on it again in 81 days, hav-
ing an empty box above it as at first.
Put these young bees in a new hive
or add them to the old colony as you
prefer. If one desires two colonies
from the one, 1t is better to let the
old box hive cast a swarm first, then
drum in 81 days and the n drum
ming will be all that is necessary.
Still another way which is better
and less work than either of the above
methods, If one wishes to keep the
whole force together and get the
most money from them, a y Farm
and Home, is to take a movable
frame hive full of empty combs, a
week or two before swarming time.
the entrance Of the top hive and
compel the bees to go through the
new ones. When honey begins to
come in fast, the bees will crowd the
queen into the lower hive, always
storing their honey above the brood.
When the queen is laying nicely in
the under hive, put a queen excluder
between the two hives, and soon all
the brood will be Matched out above
and the combs will be filled with
honey. 1t can then be taken off and
the combs cut out, the honey extract
ed and the old combs rendered into
wax. 1 find this the most satisfac
tory way of all, getting more honey
and wax and, keeping down increase

IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
ton than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.

First Flower of Spring.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year
as the earliest sign of spring. Its
~pendulous white blossoms, with
"heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas
sageways between all houses. Most
dubious plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best
in partial shade.

The modern farmer has good reason
to hate the auto hog, and he expresses
his hatred. Many centuries ago, when
the farmer was a beast of burden, he
had as strong a hatred for the horse
or rather the combination of man and
horse which ruled the foot soldier.
BY and by the horse became a worker
instead of a fighter, and then the
farmer saw its value. Now history
