The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease tiiat science has been able to cure in all itsstages and that is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical frat«rnity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send lor list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

Place cans in cold water immediately after milking. Place the milk In cool water soon af ter milking Is done. Place cans in cold water at once. Cool quickly. Practice cleanliness with a big C. Milk pails, strainers, and coolers should be washed and scalded at each milking. Rinse cans in warm water, scald with hot water, and air as much as possible. Have cans washed and scalded thor oughly and well aired. Stir the milk at least two or three times while cooling. When the milk is cooling, cover the cans with cheese-cloth. Do not put covers on the cans over night, but use a thin cloth. Always leave covers off the milk un til the animal heat has disappeared. Never mix morning's milk with night's milk until both are thoroughly cold. If warm milk is added to cold, it pro duces a taint at once. The sudden dying of young chicks in hot weather is almost always caused by lice. Look around the head and neck, and a few big fellows may be seen which torment the chicken so that it cannot be thrifty. Rub some grease of any kind about the head and neck and under the wings. This is sure death to the pests and does tile chicks no harm. It is well to use It as a preventive, for if lice get on the chicks in hot weather, many chicks will die before the remedy can be ap plied. Burning Weeds. It is far better to rot the weeds by burying them under the soil while green than to rely on burning them after they have ripened their seeds. It is com monly supposed that when a weed is burned, Its seed also perishes. Only if piled on brush, which will make coals of tire at the bottom of the heap. Is this the case. The weed seed drops as the pod which encloses it shrivels with heat, and as carbonic acid gas settles to the bottom of the heap, the noxious seed bs preserved from burning. Your daughters are the most prs- cious legacy possible in. this life. The responsibility for them and their future is largely with you. The mysterious change that develop« the thoughtful woman from the thoughtless girl, should find you on the watch day and night. As you care for their physical well* being, so will the woman be, and so will her child ren be also. Lydia E. Pinkham's “ Vegetable Compound ” is the sure reliance in this hour of trial. Thousands have found it the never-fall ing power to correct all irregularities and start the woman on the sea of life with that physical health all should have. Womb difficulties, displacementsand the horrors cannot exist in company with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. F ** *C h ’ LDRE IN ^TE E T H T n C* “ Maa.

In cuttiug corn we always used to notice that the outside rows where the horse turned in cultivation had general ly larger aud better tilled ears than did the corn farther in the field. This in dicates that corn is usually planted too closely and does not get sunlight enough. The outside row is not gener ally richer than the soil fartner In the field, and certainly the trampling of the ground by the horse«' feet is uo ad vantage to the crop.
