SAYS PINEAPPLE WILL
CURE LOTS OF THINGS.
Away With the M edicine Chest,
Doctor and Drug Store is the
Slogan Of This Promise.

DR.. B. G. r. Williams, of Paris, ILL.,, ,
in paper published in the last issue
of the Medical Record, intimates very
strongly that soon the "lowly citizen"
may throw away his medicine chest,
pass haughtily by the drug store win
dow, sheer at the prescription form
and look for his medicine in the hum
BILE pushcart or the corner fruit
stand. DR.. Williams, who is not in
the fruit growing business, declares
that the familiar pineapple, or the
juice extracted therefrom, is about
the one remedy of which he has ever
heard that can cure almost anything
in surgery or medicine.
The physicians paper, which is of
some considerable length, sets forth
some of the experiments he has con-
Quoted with the appetizing fruit. A
partial list made out indicates that
pineapples are good for some of the
following troubles:
Sore throat, quinsy, tonsilitis and
nearly all the other diseases of the
throat; some kinds of dyspepsia, inii-
gestion and other gastric Affections;
boils, wounds, sores, and perhaps
corns, and for infammatons general
ly of the mucous membrane.
The doctor, in his paper analyses
the pineapple juice, which he finds to
consist of two per cent. sugar, one per
cent. free acid, three per cent. albu-
minous and pectinous substances and
ninety-four per cent. water. All you
have to do, the writer says, is to get
a fresh pineapple and filter or strain
it's juice so that it will be clear. Then
if you have anything the matter with
your throat, gargle; if you have any,
thing the matter with your digestive
organs, drink a little of the juice; if
you have wounds, battle with it.

NOT THAT KIND OF PAPA.

A certain ensign in the navy had
an overwhelming desire to marry the
daughter of Rear-Admiral who was
noted in the service as a frank, not to
say harsh man.
The ensign went, with much trepi-
dalton, into the office of the man he
desired to make his father-in-law.
$50 you want to marry my daugh-
ter?" inquired the RearAdmiral in
deep chest tones.
Eyes, sir"
"Well, what are you going to sup
port a wife on, with nothing but the
pay of an ensign?"
"Well, Admiral, if | am not mstas-
en-, you were married when you were

blest if you are going to do that. -

BEGINNING RIGHT.

There are thousands of people be-
coming interested each year in the
poultry business, while very few enter
it with the correct ideas Of true sue
cess and how to derive the greatest
profit from their work. Not a few
of those beginning in the business
are over enthusiastic at the Start.
They read a paper clipping or re-
port from some large plant making a
success and think if they buy few
chickens, dump them in an old out
shed, throw in a little feed between
times, that everything will be peaches
and cream. In fact, in the evening
they start to gather the eggs with a
basket large enough for the whole
years crop. 1t is needless for me to
narrate the disappointment and dis
gust these poor mortals have for the
poultry industry.

WITCHES FOR SHEEP.

The farmers in this country are
finding the vetch a very profitable
plant for sheep and for other stock,
and are beginning to grow it in some
sections to a considerable extent.
The Canadian department of agricul-
ture at ottawa has issued a bulletin
No. u, showing the value of this
plant, especially for sheep, and in
considering special crops for sheep it
discusses in this connection clover, al
falfa, vetches, rape, cabbage, turnips,
mangels, corn and the several classes
of grain Each is treated separately
in regard to method of cultivation
and manner of feeding. Dealing with
vetches the bulletin says;
'Vetches, or tares, as they are also
called, make excellent fodder for
sheep, either as a soiling crop or as
cured hay. This crop much resem-
bles peas in habit of growth and re-
quires about the same kind of cult
walton. Its vines are more slender
than pea vines and stand up better
when grown with a stiff variety of
oats. Vetches are grown extensively
for sheep feed in Great Britain, and
to some extent in Canada for the
same purpose. The writer, while
raising sheep, always grew small
area Of tares with oats for soiling
the show flock, and in case of
shortage of clover, vetches were cured
for hay. The crop being fine in vine
and very leafy is much relished by
sheep and constitutes a rich diet.
Two varieties of vetches are
grown for fodder. The common
vetch is the chief sort cultivated, but
the hairy variety is receiving some at
tention. The latter produces the
heavier yield, but so far the seed
having to be imported is very expen-
sive and few care to bother with it.
