THE BLUES, BEST When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted Woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues , it is a sad picture. It is usually this way:— She has been feeling “out of sorts” for some time ; head has ached, and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart has beat very fast; then C that bear ing-down feeling. Her doctor says, “cheer up, you have dyspepsia; you’ll be all right soon.” But she doesn't get “ all right.” Sho grows worse day by day, till all at once she realizes that a distressing fe male complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She has lost faith in him; hope van ishes; then comes the brooding, morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues . Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Cora, pound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of womep, and the story recited above is the true experience of hundreds of women, whose letters of gratitude are to be found on file in Sirs. Pinkham’s library. Try and see for yourself. AND BELIEF. A piece of machinery’ run by steam and overworked will become cranky, creaky and out of gear, owing to some expansion of metal from heat and friction. Stop its work, rub and brighten and let it rest. In a short while it will be restored and will run smoothly. The human system is a machine. Too much work and worry are thrown upon it; too much of the heat of daily cares; too much of the steam of daily business. The nerves become cranky ; they are restless, sleepless and twitchy, and a neuralgic condition sets in. Pain throws the machine out of gear and it needs rest and treatment to strengthen and restore. St. Jacobs Oil is the one remedy of all pe culiarly adapted to a prompt and sure cure. So many have so freely testined from experienc e and use to its efficacy in the cure of neuralgia that it passes without saying that it surely cures. It will be a gracious surprise to many after the free use of it to iind how easily* pain, cares and worry may be lifted, and how smoothly the human machine goes on. WASTE OF VITAL FORCE A VALUABLE FRANCHISE SECURED The franchise of easy digestion—one of the most valuable in the gift of medical science can be secured by any person wise enough to use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, either to sup press growing dyspepsia, or to uproot it at ma turity. Billions, rheumatic and fever and ague sufferers, persons troubled with nervous ness and constipated, should also secure the health franchise by the same means. There was a collision on the Danish State railroad near Copenhagen some time ago in which forty persons were killed and seventy wounded. The rail road at once admitted that it was to hlame, and instead of fighting claims for damages, has appointed a committee to settle with the claimants what will be fair compensation, so as to avoid having the claims brought into the courts.

International Observatory. Kidney and Bladder Troubles Quickly Cured You May Have a Sample Bottle of the Great Discovery, Dr, Kilmer’s Swamp-Root Sent Free by Mail. People doctor their troubles and try different medicines so often without benefit that they get discouraged and skeptical. In most such cases serious mistakes are made >n doctoring and not knowing what our trouble is or what makes us sick. The unmis takable evidences of kidney trouble are pain or dull ache in the back, too frequent de sire to pass water, scanty supply, scalding irritation. As kidney disease advances the face looks sallow or pale, eyes puffy, the feet swell and sometimes the heart aches badly. Should further evidence be needed to find out the cause of sickness, then set urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling is also convinc'ng proof that our kidney s and bladder need doctoring. The mild and extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. So universally successful has Swamp-Root been in quickly curing even the the most distressing cases that if you wish to prove its wonderful merit you may have a sample bottle and a book of valuable in formation, both sent absoultely free by mail.

It will be a pleasant surprise to the farmer or gardener to notice the im provement of land where vegetable growth of any kind 'ias iteer plowed under. It will take tbe time of some one to pull, rake aud cart off or burn such rubbish. Why not let tills extra help follow the plow nd keep It dear of obstruction and accomplish some good from the operation? Not only will there lie returned to the soil what the plant has taken up during the growing seasou, but also what the foliage hits been able to appropriate from the air. This will be a paying operation upon land that is liable to be u little droughty. It will be noticed that the retentive properties of such land will l>e greatly improved by persistence in this line of management. The most perfect implement for this kind of | work aud also plowing under coar.e manure is the sulky plow.—Orarr> Judd Farmer. Blue grass is oue of the most nutri- tious of all the grasses. Its roots are straggling and run near the surface, therefore it is rich in early spring, when the sun's rays do not warm the soil deeply. Some land seems to grow up in bli'" grass whenever left un cropped. "t will run out most other grasses as the latter fail. Oue reason why tills grass Is nutritious is. perhaps, explained by the remark an old farmer made, that he had always noticed that the natural blue grass laud was a strong limestone soil. In every mile of railway there are seven feet four inches not covered by the rails, the space left for expansion. SANDEN ELECTRIC BELT CO, Please mention this Paper. Plow Under Rubbish.

It is slow work putting apples one by one into tlie bottom of a barrel: but if turned in from the box or basket those throughout the whole lower part of the barrel are sure to be more or less bruised—a condition that greatly lowers their value when shipped. The illus trations. reproduc ed from the Amerl- c a n Agriculturist, show a box with a bag bottom that will enable one to put fruit quickly into the bottom of a barrel, and into every por tion of it up to the top. without bruis ing a single specimen. The box can measure a bushel if desired, and should have handles as shown. There Is no wooden bottom. A burlap bag, grow ing smaller and smaller toward the lower end, is tacked to the lower edge.

Each fowl should have ten square feet of room on the floor: that Is. a [»oultry house 10x10 should accommodate ten fowls. It is a mistake to keep fattening cat tle confined in stalls all through the day without change. It Is often done under tbe hnpressiou that the animal If allowed to run out will work off all the fat that the feeding can put on him. But a short time each day will rest the muscles, cramped by being kept In one position too long. The animal will also keep to his feed better than If closely confined. Have Warm Stable.. years.

The cold draughts in the stable frequently come along the floor, chilling the ani mal when It is at rest. This fact should teach the farmer that be will make no mistake in using plenty of dry bedding, and it should lie thick and loose, thus preventing draughts from below and assisting to retain the animal heat.
