A deep wheelbarrow’ is more useful
than one built on the old plan, be
cause it will hold more, and the work
of building such a barrow is not much
greater. Any one who owns a wheel
and irons belonging to an old wheel
barrow can easily construct one by
first procuring two stout pieces for
the shafts and mortising them together
firmly just behind the wheel. The
next mortise must come 2 inches from
the ground ou the legs at A. From this
mortise the floor of the barrow must
reach forward to R, where It Is sup
ported by two false legs mortised into
the shafts and reaching within 2 inches
of the ground. The sides may be solid
from the floor lip, or if preferred they
may extend only to the top of the
shafts, and from this point movable
side boards may extend upward. The
only disadvantage lu having the body

Hidcred a large tract for farming pur
poses. Most of the farms are smaller,
and on a little plot a surprising variety
of crops is cultivated—a few square
feet of wheat, barley, maize and millet;
a plot of beaus perhai»« ten feet wide
by tweuty feet long, a similar area of
potatoes and peas and a patch of
onions “about as big as a grave;” beet
root. lettuce, turnips, sweet potatoes
and other crops occupy the rest of the
area. The farmer examines his grow
ing crops every morning. Just as an en
gineer Inspects his machinery, aud if
anything Is wrong he puts It right. If
a weed appears in the bean patch he
pulls It up; if a hill of potatoes or any
thing else fails it Is ai onee replanted.
When he cuts down a tree he always
plants another. As soon as one crop is
harvested the soil 1» worked over,

is a thousand years old. Some of the

From the hard times people will reap
lessons of experience, learning how to act
with more care in business and how to ap
ply remedies for the stringency of such
times. With more care we will have less
accidents, and much less suffering if we
know the true remedy. In the held and
work-shop, indeed in all activities, sprains
and bruises happen and bring the hard
times ot pain and suffering. Experience
teaches that it is always best to get the
best remedy, which is the cheapest in the
end. Experience points to St. Jacobs Oil
as without question the best remedy for
such mishaps, being the surest and prompt
est cure. Suffering brings har.l times
even in prosperity. The best remedy for
it is the surest way out of them.

The essential difference between
Paine's celery compound and the be
wildering number of sarsaparilla» and
nervines that its snocess has brought
into existence is that Paine’s oelery
compound fnrnishes just the appropri
ate nutriment to the exhausted nerves,
and securely builds np the system
against disease, while the unscientific
remedies confuse and add to the de
rangement of the organs.
Paine's celery compound not only
relieves, bnt effectively and perma
nently cures.
The most permanent and direot onre
for debility, nervous weaknekh, lan-
gonr, and a “ run-down" condition, is
the strong, reliable Paine's celery com
pound. The rasping, irritating effect
of a badly nourished nervous system
npon all the organs of tbe body ceases
when this medicine is nsed.
Paine's oelery compound is the most
advanoed nerve and brain strengthener
and restorer known to medical science.
The tired, worn-ont sufferer, who is
not advancing toward health, is fa ll
ing back. There is no standstill in
bad health. One oan endure a head
ache or a backache onoe; one can en-
dnre it twice, but the repeated siok
headache and tbe oonstant pain in the
back and in the region of the heart
must be got rid of. For tbe permanent
and positive enre of these nnhoalthy
states of tbe body, xs evinced by re
peated attacks of rheomatiim, neural
gia. sleeplessness, or kidney trouble,
there is nothing to be oompared for a
moment with the great discovery of
Prof. Edward B. Phelps, M. D., LL.
D ., of Dartmouth medical school —
Paine's celery oompound.
If you are out of health or despond
ent because of repeated trials of other
remedies, take a fresh start. The brac
ing weather is in yonr favor.
Here is the experience— like that of
hundreds of others— of Mrs. Lydia M.
Hayden, of Marion, Ind.:
“ Before commencing the use of
Paine’s oelery oompound I was treated
by many doctors, and tried many rem
edies, bat did not get any better. 1
seemed to be all broken down. I was
tired all the time, and my constitution
seemed to be giving nut
I weighed only 116 pouDds last fall
when I commenced using Paine’s oel
ery componud.
In less than two
months I weighed 124 ponnds, an un
usual weight for me. 1 have had bet
ter health ever sinoe, and have felt bet
ter this summer than 1 have for yeara.
"M y little daughter was away from
home on a visit, and oame home look
ing as if she had had a hard sickness.
I went right away and got her a bot
tle of Paine’s oeiery oomponnd, and she
has had better health since than she
ever had in her life, eats hearty and
is growing fast.’ ’
There is no woman, who, in jnstloe
to herself, can fail to take Paine’s oel
ery oompound under similar oirotun-
stance».
