My mouth was filled witn eating, sores; my tongue was almost eaten awav. so that for three months I was unable to taste any solid food. My hair was coming out rapidly, and I was in a horrible fix.

Ohio State Journal. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- leal ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasantefforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, tbat so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual d is ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the s;stem, which the pleasant family laxative, byrupof Fi?s prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, tbat it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effect, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggist. If in the enjoyment of good health, nd the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies axe then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, bnt if in need of a laxative,' one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely sied and gives most general satisfy actios. Utilizing Two Old Barns. On hundreds of farms are to be found two Htnnll barns Instead of one large one. These nre often detached or attached corner to corner. Space Is wasted and work cannot be conve niently done In them without much loss of time. The Illustrations show a plan for making the most of two such barns. They are moved to a position parallel to each other and nre then connected by a shed-roofed one-storied I'ERSPECTIVB VIEW OF BARX. addition, ns shown lu the first picture. This gives a barnyard Inclosed on three sides, and so protected from wind and storm, and an Interior that can be ad vantageously arranged. The nrrange nipnt suggested In the floor plan that Is given In the second Illustration Is for use on a dairy farm. Where other kinds of farming are followed, a differ ent Interior arrangement can easily be FLOOR PLAN. decided upon. In the plan given, It Is lutended that a feed car be used to convey silage, grain, etc., along In front of all the cattle stalls. American Agriculturist Electric t.ieht by Wind Power. Electric lighting is commonly lu the country regnrded ns exclusively a city luxury. It Is likely that the expense of carrying wires from bouse to house 'n thluly settled districts would be too great to make it possible to furuisu electric light on a large scale economi cally. But the experience of Kansen's ship, the Fram, on her northern voy age shows that electric lighting by wind power, transmitted to batteries and stored as electricity, is entirely possible. In the high Northern lati tudes fuel was much too precious to be used In making electric light. So a big windmill was set up, which was run whenever the wind was favorable, and by stored electricity made a steady light. all through the dark northern winter. Such windmills nre often used, on Norwegian vessels to work the pumps. We may yet see farm wind mills providing power to run dynamos and charge storage batteries with elec tricity to be used for lighting farm houses, as well as to do much work that now taxes human muscles. For Calves at Pasture. The calves at pasture ought to have dally a little grain to keep them grow ing thriftily. Their Increased size In the fall will more than pay for the out lay and the trouble. The sketch, from an agricultural exchange, shows a handy feed box. Tut It on the Inside of the pasture fence, so that the grain can be put In through the boards from JL JL FEED BOX FOR CALVEB. the outside. Put slats on, as shown, far enough apart so that the calves can put tbelr beads between them, but so near that the old stock, If In the pas ture, cannot reach the box. The slats also support the box and hold It In place. Kggs Chilled Hefore Petting. Early failure to hatch eggs very sel dom come from luck of vigor In the germ; for in this the early eggs are superior. They more often come from alio wing, eggs to be chilled before the setting begins. Everyone knows tbat chilling after a few days setting soon destroys tbe life In the egg. It may do so where eggs tbat have never been set on are kept In contact with metal, which rapidly abstracts beat wben tbe eggs are kept for greater safety near the freezing temperature. Dishes for holding eggs sbonld be of wood, wblcb abstracts beat slowly. Variety of Feed for Boca. Tbe bog gets at any time in bis life less variety in bis feed than any other kind of stock.

Mir tbe foil. Next to mulching there Is nothing like a constant stirring of the soil. I have found many workmen In gardens totally unncquulntcd with the princi ples of hoeing, The hoo Is drawn over a surface already hard, cutting off weeds close to the ground. Then the weeds are raked off, leaving the grouut) In really worse condition than It was before, for the weeds shaded tho sur face If they did rob the ground. Hoe ing should be fully as much to loosen the soli as to destroy weeds. Every stroke of the hoe should loosen up an Inch or more of soil, and this loose soil should not be raked down too fine, or the first heavy rain will bent It down very hard. One would hardly believe what a help constant cultivation of tbls kind Is to herbaceous and all other plants. Aud when rain comes the water Is all taken up where It falls. Good mulching preserves the looseness of the soli In the same way. 1 am sure that very many more of our lovely na tive flowers could be successfully grown than there are If mulching or boelng could be made a feature of cut tlvatlon. Exchange. Maklna Cider Vinegar. . First have a good, strong, Iron-hooped barrel. Next bave good apple cider. Cover the buukholes with mosquito netting or other material that will keep out the Hies. .The bungs ought not to be put In, except temporarily, for at least a year. Keep the vinegar barrel in the garret, or other place where the air Is warm and sultry. The cellar Is a bad place In which to make vinegar. To hasten fermentation, occasionally turn the cider out of one barrel Into another, thus exposing It more fully to tbe air, and, by adding a gallon of strong vinegar or a little "mother" to each barrel. There nre other methods by which the process may be hastened still more, such as trickling It through beech chips or shavings; but these are hardly to be recommended, for those who are content to wait on the natural process rarely fall to find themselves amply repaid through the high value of their product Farm and Fireside. Fnmlirate toe Plant, The lovers of flowers who try their amateur hand at raising n few flower ing plants or pnlms nt home sooner or Inter lenrn that plants inquire a great deal of attention m order to make them flourish properly. One of the greatest trials of the home gardener Is to keep the plants free from the luseets tha: nre so apt to attack them, for which there are a number o? remedies. One of the most effective nnd common of. these Is to fumignle the plart by means of tobacco smoke, nnd tho Invention! here shown, tbe idea of n Philadelphia man, offers a remarkably convenient method of doing tnN. Tbe appliance consists of a pepper-box to which Is at tached a rubber' bulb that takes- the place of a bellows.

Hedge Plants. Hedges for protection are not as com mon ns they might be. They are not only beautiful lu themselves, but, If properly managed, are cheaper than any fence except a stone wall. There are numberless lustnnceg of well-cared, for osnge orange and honey locust hedges being kept In first-rate condition for half a century, and there Is no rea son to believe tbey might not last for nearly as long again. They have to be annually trimmed, and, Indeed, are the better for two trimmings a year; but one who understands this will get over the work so rapidly, that It takes little more time than It would to give the annual whitewashing to an ordi nary fence. When the expression "well cared for" Is used, It simply means that the cutting must always be of such A character that the bottom of the hedge Is left the widest part.-Meehan's Monthly. , Ponltry Pickings. A good man Is merciful to his benst, also to his chickens. Sanitary surroundings are of more consequence than medicines. If you cannot keep your poultry In comfort, cease to keep them at all. Light Is essential to the health of the hens, therefore, have good windows. Eggs Intended forhntchlngKhouldnnt be kept over four weeks. They must be turned every day or two. Uae Plentj of Peed. Seed Is costly, but tbe poorest method of economy Is that of using as little seed as possible. A large number of clover crops fall because not enough seed Is nsod, and It Is better with some crops to bave an extra number of plants to come up and remove those not desired than to bave failure and be compelled to replant, as the time lost cannot be recovered. Tbe Horae'a Shoes. Some farmers make tbe mistake of shoeing borses wben It Is unnecessary, and others refuse to shoe wben It should be done. Some leave tbe shoes on too long, Just because they seem to stick welL An expanding, growing hoof will soon outgrow tbe shoe. Tbe shoes sbonld not be left on longer than 0 vsekJ. FOR EVERY Champion Michael Paine's Celery James Michael is the champion long distance bicyclist of the world. He recommends all wheelmen to take Paine's celory compound. His exjiorience is that of thousands of others. With the opening of the bicycle season many u yonng person and hundreds of older people who have de termined to take up bicycling as a health-giving exercise find themselves really lucking the proper "snap" or stamina to begin on. Thoir bodily condition prevents so spirited exercise. They would like to ride, but they are out of sorts, run down by a winter of work or indoor life. Many who are really sick, who have suffered from debility or wasting diseases for a long time until they had begun to think their troubles had become chronic, as nothing gave thorn relief, would turn td bicyoling for relief. But this splen did exercise, like any other, requires strength to undertake. The blood is out of order, tho nerves deranged, aud nature's food for both is needed. All snob nersons will find to their immense joy that Paine's celery com pound, tuken now, will make them well. Paine's celery compound works won ders in the spring, li jou have labored under the load of repeated headaches, neuralgic pains and days of nervous do bility, now is your best time to get well. Michael is today the most phenomenal ridor in professional ranks. As far buck sb 1804 he was undisputed cham pion of Great Britain, anil in tho fol lowing year lie went to France and scored twenty-five straight wins against the picked riders of Europe, lie has defeated such famous men us .Tacquelin, Gougoltz, Hurot, Kivicrro, Bonhours, Bourrillon and Burden of England, and Ley ton, the Belgian champion.

After the exertion of my record rides) whilo witli the Morgan & Wright team in the Bouth Inst winter, during which I lost somewhat in weight, on account of the unaccustomed climate, I was ad vised to uso Paine's celory compound. I am pleased to say thut it gave such satisfaction that I was impelled to use) it again to brace np from the effects of the two unusually rough ocean trips) that I have taken during the past month. I believe that wheelmen who have to undergo the hardships of "oir- cuit chasing" will find Puine's celery compound of assistance in keeping np their physical tone. JIMMY MICHAEL.
