Prince Bernard of Saxe-Weimar is in

farmer needs a power that is both
cheap aud ready for use and one that
can be depended upon. He also wants
It to be safe from tire aud explosion,
and easily moved to different parts of
the farm buildings. There Is one power
that meets all these requirements quite
well, aud one that the farmer might use
to greater advantage than he does, and
that Is the tread power. It was used
exclusively o, farms forty years ago
for such limited use as any power was
applied to, hut, for some reasou or oth
er, was quite generally abandoned. But
the tread power Is coming back Into use
again for such work, as a cheap and In
expensive power is needed. This pow
er can be obtained in almost any size
required, from a power Intended for a
goiit or dog up to a power for four
horses. The smallest are often used
to run baby separators, churns aud
such things as these, and the largest to
run feed cutters aud heavy threshing
machines. A two-horse trend power
will run a circular saw for sawing
wood, and a two or three-horse power
will mn a medium-sized cutter for cut
ting ensilage. When a farmer has the
horses It Is the cheapest kind of power
that can he obtained upon most farms,
and the cost Is within the reach of most
farmers. The windmill has come Into
use to a considerable extent, especially
for pumping water for stock or family
use. With proper attention it does good
work, and Is, of course, Inexpensive In
operation nfter once established. An
other kind of power that has come Into
use Is the gasoline engine, and fur
nishes one-horse power at only one or
two cents an hour. This matter of
power seems to he settled among the
three forms: The tread power, windmill
power and gasoline power. The flrst
- Is comparatively Inexpensive In the
j first cost. While the other two powers
named are expensive at the start, It
costs scarcely anything to operate
them, and the gasoline engine can he
used for any work upon the farm to
which stationary power Is ever applied.
But, for pumping water alone, nothing
will take the place of a good wind

often the eggs are over-sized (double-

otherwise. Looked at from the pro

NERVES.
Some peevish, querulous people seem mere
bundles of nerves. The least sound agitate-i
their Hi*qsoriums and ruffles their tempers. No
doubt they are born so. But may not their
nervousness be ameliorated, if not entirely re-
lieved? Unquestionably, and with Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters. By cultivating their digestion
and insuring more complete assimilation of the
food with this admirable corrective, they will
experience a speedy and very perceptible gain
in nerve quietude. Dyspepsia, biliousness,
constipation and rheumatism yield to the
Bitters.

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until tho last few years was supposed to be
Incurable. For a great many vssrsdoctors pro
nounced It a loeal disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling to care by
local treatment, pronounced It Incurable.
¡Science has proven catarrh to lie a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, O., is
tiie only constitutional cure oil the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fail’s to cure.
