Strange DiscOIoration.

An old oak tree growing on
the farm of William Hart, in
Washington county, is an object
of interest, from the fact that it
bears upon its stem a singular
discoloration that is attributed
to a supernatural agency, says
the Springfield Leader. The tree
grows near what was at one time
a public passway, and is about
eighteen inches in diameter. One
Sunday afternoon about 20 years
ago Dick Allen and Bill Gray, two
negroes, were returning from
Hayden's distillery on horseback.
When near the tree the negroes
entered into a race and galloped
at headlong speed along the mar

Happiness.

The sum of happiness is made
up Of a thousand details. A lit
tie kindness done to one less for
tunate gives the heart a beat of
pleasure that no millinery or
laces or jewels can possibly in
spire.
To overcome prejudice is more
satisfying than a ten course din
ner.
To subdue a difficulty and
smother a selfish desire is to be-
come strong and splendid. If
life is worth living at all, it is
worth living in a state of pro-
gress and improvement.
If we moan and groan, filling
the air with dissatisfaction and
gloom, we can scarcely hope to
partake of much contentment.
All you need is a good thuml
on the back by some cheerful
soul who has faith in you, and a
promise to yourself that you will
face your work and your worries
cheerfully.

Developing the Pig.

The advantages of beginning
to develop the pigs at an early
age, and while they are running
with the mother, are numerous
and ought not to be overlooked.
1t gratifes the appetite of the
pigs at a time when they need
more than the mothers milk.
1t helps to enlarge the stomach
and promotes a more rapid
growth than can be obtained in
any other way. If the right kind
of feed is used that is slightly
laxative, like middlings, it is a
good preventative of the pig
disease called the ''thumps." 1t
relieves the mother, very much,
and when weaving time comes
the pigs can be weaned from the
mother, and need not be checked
in their growth, in the least. It
is the plan that promotes early
growth, and the stock can be
carried to early maturity, and be
kept in better form, than by
letting the pigs grow along
slowly, and then feeding them to
put on fat to shape them up. The
best form is made by growing
the bone and muscle while the
animal is young, and feeding
well enough to have an informing
ling of fat, which insures ex-
cellent quality.

On Advertising.

Says an exchange: IF you toot
your little tooter aud then lay
away your horn, there's. not a
soul in ten short days will know
that you were born. The man
who gathers pumpkins is the
man who plows all day, and the
man who keeps a-humpin is the
man who makes it pay. The
man who advertises with short
and sudden jerks is the man who
blames the editor because it
never works. The man who gets
the business has a strong and
steady pull, he keeps his trade
and paper from year to year quite
full. He plans his advertisements
in a thoughtful honest way, keeps
forever at it until he makes it pay.

Salt and charcoal should be
kept in every pen and pasture,
so the pigs can eat all they wish.
Don't try to see how many
chicks you can hatch out, but
rather, how many you can raise.
Hens should not be closed up
in a barrel or box after they have
Matched out their chicks. They
need exercise after three weeks
setting.
At the end of a bed of seeds,
drive down a stake and slip the
empty seed bag over the top of it
to help you remember what you
have sowed there.
Green corn-stalks, lettuce and
other garden greens should be
cut up fine and given to fowls
confined in yards. When de-
prived of it, hens lack the red
color in their combs, and the
blood will become impure.
AS soon as the young chicks
are Matched, it is a good plan to
remove them to the garden or
out under the trees, if the wealth
er is favorable, where they can
get plenty of insects to eat and
scratch all they like.
The bowel trouble, which kills
many chicks when they are from
one to two weeks of age, may
often be corrected by taking
away the chicks drinking water
and giving instead, scalded milk
to which little cinnamon has
been added.
Make the garden rows long
and straight, so as to use the
horse cultivator or the wheelhoe
to the best advantage. Stir the
ground after planting, often
after each rain, or about once in
ten days anyhow.
Plants should be thinned to a
uniform. distance apart when
quite small. Only in this way
can the gardner secure uniform
ity in size and time Of maturity
of his vegetable. Plants not
needed are not any better than
weeds.
The COWS often make trouble
at this season of the year with
lumpy or stringy milk. A gooC
treatment is as follows: First
give a thorough purge, say {
pound of Glaubers salts. Wher
it has ceased to act, give half al
ounce of inter and thirty drops
of aconite twice a day for tive
days, or longer if not cured.

The causes of sickness in fowls
can be traced to lice, filth, nc
grit, over fet, sour food, leaky
roof, lack of exercise, crowded
quarters, cracks in the wall, ex-
posture to hot sun, cold houses in
winter, hot houses in summer, ir-
regularity in feeding, damp
houses and runs, not enough
bulky food, impure drinking
water, poorly ventilated houses,
exposure to bad weather and
feeding too much heating food
in the summer time. Think this
over before writing about your
ailing fowls and see if you are
keeping poultry under any of
these conditions.

An Indigestion
Remedy Free

Many people who are otherwis
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, it would seem that a dis
order there is to be taken very SER
iously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
like; food SourS in the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as is often
the case, you have been constipated all
along. and the stools are forced and
irregular.
!. But there is no use letting indigestion
go until it becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t is good advice to
suggest to you that you go to your drug
gist and get bottle of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup .Pepsin, the wonderful cure for
stomach. liver and bowel troubles. That
is what c. Fowler, of Carson City, Mich,
did and he is well today. Others who did
the same and are cured are Ida A. For
tune, of Grand Junction, Tenn, B. f.
Thompson, of Shenandoah, Ia, who ac-
tually considers that it saved his life.
You can obtain a 50-cent or 81 bottle of
the druggist, and, taken according to d.
rectionS, 1t will probably De all you need
It is a liquid. acts gently, never gripes,
and besides the laxative effect, contains
exceptional tonic properties which tone
the stomach. and that is what is es-
pecially needed in indigestion.
All sufferers from indigestion who have
never used DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
can obtain a free test bottle by writing
home without any charge. In this way
thousands have proven to their own sat-
isfaction DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
the very remedy they needed to cure in
digestion. When once you use this grand
remedy you will throw violent cathartics,
tablets. salts etc. away.
