BIS BACK UP. When Noah blew hU horn, the camel humped himself to get aboard, and by a eurioiis freak he stayed humped all his life. Lumbago ()r lame back humps a man's back simply because ho cannot straighten himself on accountof the stllfncss unil snre iioss accompanying the ailment. Nature helped the camel to his hump for a special purpose. Nature will help a man to get rid of his hump ri;lit off if lie uses St. Jacobs Oil, because the character of the trouble is such that it needs just such a remedy to warm, soften uud straighten out the contracted muscles. Kroin the time of Noah down to the present time men have had lume hacks, but onlv since the intro duction of St. Jacobs (lit has the best cure for it been known, l.uinlmno really dis ables, but hit.

REFORMS NEED MOKE tHAX A DAY To bring them about, and are always mnro complete and lasting when thev proceed with steady regularity to a cnnhuiuniiulou. Few of the observant anions us run have failed to notice that permanently healthful changes In the liuniaii system are not wrought l.v abrupt and violent means, anil that those aro'the most military medicines which are progressive. Hosteller's Stomach Hitters is the chief of these. Dyspepsia, a disease of obstinate character, is obliterated by it. The proportion of blood to the total body weight is ubout one to ten. In the infant the relative quantity of blood is less that in the adult and is diminished in old age. Some Things That Never Bleep. Naturalises have discovered that there are several species of fish which ' never sleep, ami that many speoies of flies are awake from the time they are hatched until they die. There are some dogs and cats, also, that appar ently never sleep that is, at night. Veteran of the Clans. Sir R. Menzies, the hereditary chief of the Clan Menzies, is the oldest Highland chief of any clan now living. He is in his eightieth year, and wears a kilt winter and summer continuously. He stands 6 feet 3 inches in height. la a disease which afflicts over 7; per cent, of the American people. It is a dangerous disease because it not only poiaons the blood but causes heaviness, oppression.and dulls the intellect. Then follow chronic headache, loss of appe tite, alow digestion, nervousness, bad breath, dingy complexion and low spirits. It will eventually bring on liver and kidney disease in some incur able form. But sufferers from this dreaded malady are speedily Warner's SAFE Cure and Warner's SAFE Pills. Leading physicians the world over, have acknowledged this fact, and thousands of people through out the land have testified to it. SAFE Cure puts a stop to backaches, headaches, constipation, loss of appe tite, dyspepsia, tired feelings and sleep lessness. It builds up the exhausted system. It is a sure cure for liver and kidney complaint in any form, and the only remedy that has ever been able to cure Bright's disease. If you are feeling the need of such a remedy, you cannot do better than try this king of remedies, the great Of the Breast, Mr. A. H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St., Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife paid no attention to a small lump which appeared in her breast, but it soon de veloped into a cancer of the worst type, and notwithstanding the treatment ol the best physicians, it continued to spread and grow rapidly, eating two holes in her breast. The doctors soon pronounced her incurable. A celebrated New York specialist then treat ea her, but she con tinued to grow worse and when informed that both her aunt and grandmother had I gave the case up as hopeless. Someone then re- .ttnm prided S.S.S. and though little hope remained, she Degun it, ana an lmpruvewcu.. ticed. The cancer commenced to heal and when she had taken several bottles it disappeared entirely, and although sev eral years have elapsed, not a signol the disease has ever returned. A Real Blood Remedy.

Set the poets leaning toward the center lu order to make the opening wider nt the bottom than nt the top. This will preveut binding, and lu conse quence the liny will readily settle as it Is being euteu 11 way from below. From about eighteen Inches above ground to the top of the posts the sides and ends should he boarded tightly, making It posslhl for the animal to get at the hay only ut the bottom. Mauy consider It a good plan to cover such a rock with a shed roof, thus always keeping the hay dry. Deflnnco to Hard Times. Farmers are the most comfortable and Independent people on the earth, although to be a successful farmer now adays requires a man not only to be a good worker, but a student as well, for It requires bruins us well as muscle to grow the right kind of crops In the right way and sell tbem at, the right time. When 1 am asked by strangers what my occupation Is, I proudly answer that I am a farmer. As I sat dowu to dlnuer yesterday (just a common every day farmer's' dinner) I remarked to my wife that we had raised nearly every thing 011 the table. There was fresh pork steak with brown gravy, potatoes, Hubhurd squash, turnips (the last three were mashed with a little cream added), cucumber pickles, tomato soy, fresh but ter, bread, preserved strawberries, ap ple pie. comb honey, cream (the good, thick, yellow kind), milk with the "top on It," and coffee. When a farmer can raise so much for his own use, he has not much In the grocery line to buy. and still be comfortably well fed. With a small piece of land well tilled, the farm er cau bid defiance to hard times. A Contented Farmer, in American Agri culturist. For Handling; Barrels. The usual storage place for apples Is In the cellar, says American Gardening. The barrels then have to be carried up the roll-way by two men a matter of no little difficulty when the roll-way Is narrow, as Is usually the ease. A plan is shown In the cut by which the bar rels of apples are carried to the surface with but little lifting, and without Jar ring the fruit. The diagram tells its own story, except that the triangular truck that is mounted on two rollers Is represented larger than need be, thus HACLINO mOSl THE CELLAR. making it higher than is actually neces sary. The rollers run on a wide plunk that rests on the edge of the stair treads. The same arrangement will be found equally serviceable in putting apples into the cellar In the fall, and for use with regetables. etc. Handling eed Potatoes'. Taking the results of a larae number of trials at experiment stations, and deducting the small potatoes and the number of bushels of seed used from the total yield, two-eye pieces give an In crease of fifteen bushels per acre over one-eye pieces: quarters give an in crease of seven bushels per acre over two-eye pieces: halves give an increase of Ave bushels per acre over quarters, and halves give an increase of eight and one-half bushels per acre over whole po tatoes. The price per bushel is usually 0 much higher for seed than for the freshly harvested crop, that the advan tage of five bushels In yield of halves (over quiirters will p'liprally be more I Mm u wiped out: so that the net profit will usually m Mivatest where the seed poiutues were cut In iiuurteri. Tcatlnit Cow. Do not dep. 'lid 011 11 single test to de termine the value of uny cow, as she may be oil' her feed, lu heat, or In some other way not quite right. When a cow In the World's l'ulr test showed tin abnormal per cent, of I'll t. the super intendents would go immediately to I ha burn and take the cow'h temperature. They would neiiily always find her feverish. There were some days a cow gnve nearly twice as much butter as the day before. A lest made oil either of the days would lmve been unjust. The Guernsey cow that made the high est weekly record for that breed In the World's Fair test, WA pounds, was fourth among the Guernseys In pro duction In the ninety-day test, and was the tall-eniler of the Guernseys In the thirty-day test. There were ten Guern seys in thnt test that had been milked longer t liii ti she hud. and that excelled her lu both production and profit. A single test Is better than none, and It Is an excellent way to buy cows by testing thorn, but every dairyman should keep a dally record of milk from each of his cows, and test the milk ns often as once a mouth, so as to know what he Is doing. Commence to-day. Don't put It off. Wisconsin Farmer. More Use of Wind I'"wer. Not nearly enough use Is made of wind power. Most of the wind mills we see are used wholly to pump water from wells. Though this as a steady Job probably saves us much labor as any one thing the wind power could bo set to doing, there are many other bnck-achlng Jobs that are on many farms done by baud power, which might quite us well be given over to wind power. Turning grindstones uud churning are among these. When young we knew some fanner boys who put up a light wiudinill which turned a lathe In it shop. Hero they speut many hours making all kinds of wooden ar ticles. All of these boys kept up their love of farm life, because their wind mill was set to do tasks that on other farms the boys had to perform by w.hat sailors call "11111111" strength and stu pldness. lu Holland there can be no use of wnier power, for the land Is too level. Nowhere lu the world Is wind power used to so much advantage or for so great a variety of purposes. Amerlcaii Cultivator. Orchard and Garden, The best gra&s for the orchard Is orchard grass, mixed well with red clover. I'otush makes firm and stocky pencil wood, but has little effect on the fruit. Fruits are a luxury, necessity, appe tizer, stimulant, tonic, food and medi cine all In one. Thorough pruning of the gooseberry plants Is one of the most effective pre ventives of mildew. It Is the freezing and thawing of the ground that hurts the strawberry beds. Three or four strong ennes to one hill of raspberries ore better than a dozen weak, spindling ones. The cause of moss appearing on the stems of apple and other fruit trees Is wet. cold, undralned land. A Fnfety lirintfln-r Tlh. The sketch herewith shows a device for keeping fowls from upsetting their drinking dish. A shallow box bus a crossplece fitted to it. as shown. The box Is tilted on one end and the dish of water inserted without spilling. The box Is then gently set back upon the .ground, when It successfully holds the dish from being upset. This device Is DRINKINO DISH FOR FOWLS, suitable for both window and outdoor use. Orange Judd Farmer. Pprlnt-?own Timothy Seed. While It is always safer to sow tim othy seed In the fall at or soon after the time full grain Is sown, the farmer who grows only spring grain need not despair of getting a good timothy catch with It. He should get the land fitted as early and as thoroughly as possible, which will be easy If the land bos been fall plowed. It will then only need surface cultivation In the spring. Prob ably the grain growth will keep the tim othy back the first season, so that It will be very small In the fall. It Is better to sow some alslke clover seed with the timothy, so as to occupy the land the first year. Carriage Horace. We have a tine class of brood mares suitable for raising carriage horses, and If we are to breed colts, In my opin ion this class would pay best. As like will produce like, would only breed from the best, Just the Individuals that find a ready sale In our home or city markets.

It Is not altogether the fault of spar rows that other native birds are becom ing scarce. It is mainly caused by the wanton slaughter of birds by men and boys, and the habit of women of wear ing birds npon their bonnets, which to any thinking person only brands tbem as heartless, or at least as thoughtless. The common birds have some of tbem learned to defend themselves against the sparrow. The robin, especially, which is much larger than the sparrow, has learned that. If he will, be can be more than a match for the Uetle tormentors. Gladstone Still a Dresser. Mr. Qladstono !b now very deaf, but, In spito of increasing decrepitude, lie dresses as jauntily as of yore, is never scon without a flower in his coat, and can hurl deflnnco ut the "great assas sin" as forcefully at if ho was 40 years younger.

The Wisconsin senate has passed a bill providing that no foreign corpora tion which is a member of a trnst bo permitted to enforce any contract in the stute. It also adopted an amend ment to the general election law to al low the gold Deiuocruts 11 pluce on the ticket and to enable them to retain their party organization.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of tho many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasuntefforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasunt family laxative, Kyrupof Figs, 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 Sue to the fact, that 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 effects, 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 druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regulur, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, end with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely Jted and gives most general satisfaction.

Within tho pust year, among the thousands of hearty testimonials to the wonderful ourative powers of Paine's celery compound that have been, re ceived hy Wells, Richardson & Com pany among tho thousands of grateful letters received from every state und town in the country, there have como no less than six hearty indorsements from members of the national house of representatives. All were willing that their experi ence should be published, believing rightly Unit they might thus do good to others. In these columns have alreudy been published, the letters received from Congressmen Meredith, Bell, Grout and Powers. Now comes a letter from Congressman Robert Neill of Arkau sus, as follows: "My home is at Batesvillo, Ark. During the lust spring and summer my eldest duughtvr, then 1? years of age, was in very poor health, suffering from general debility, nervous prostration and frequent slight fevers.

To postpone at such a vital time aa this regulating the nerves und purify ing the blood is a serious in i stale.
