SIOO REWARD, SIOO Tne readers of this paper will be please^ 1 to learn that there is at least one dread' dis ease that science has been able to cure in all j ts stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Ca tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is taken internally, acting directly up on the blood and mucous surface 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 the 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. £end for list of Testimonials. F. J. CHENEY & CO , Props., Toledo, O.

Horse breeders and trainers almost entirely overlook or neglect one of the most valuable features in a horse, and that is fast walking in draft and road horses, writes Dr. Galen Wilson in Practical Farmer. This seems never to be bred for, and as to training for It, I, for one, have never seen it done but once. If the breeder will select a fast walking mare and stallion, the colt will most likely be a fast walker, but no attention is now paid to this point. Other things being equal, if a team will walk 50 per cent faster than another It will be worth 50 per cent more. Once let the public become In terested In fast walkers and the breed ing of farm and draft horses would be conducted with that end in view, to the great benefit of all concerned in such stock.

A century later two Dutch farmers near to < 'ape Town were found to be lepers, and since then the dis ease has been steadily increasing and spreading northward among both na tive and European races. The Strawberry Supply. Texas, Florida, Mississippi and other states south begin in the winter to ship berries north, and as the season ad vances the growers farther north begin to supply the demand, and as the sun advances toward the north the berries ripen until in the summer time the northland comes up with its crop of this delicious fruit. Strawberries grow even as far away to the north as Alas ka. With the many good varieties any given locality can be supplied with this splendid fruit. For Stomach Troubles.

The success attend ing this production for the past two sea sons is entirely due to its own intrinsic merit in the first place and to the lavish style in which it was produced in the second place. The late Augustus Daly was extremely liberal as well as artistic in all his theatrical productions. "A Runaway Girl" received the benefit of his personal direction and nothing was left undone that would in any way en hance its value or tend towards its success. The result is evidenced by the continued prosperity and popularity of the play wherever presented. The com edy remained at Daly's Theatre for three hundred nights without intermission, and every city in the East has accorded the production unqualified approval and endorsement. The songs and music in cidental to the play are said to be catchy and inspiring, its lyrics bright and witty and its comedy humorous and infections. The play is also said to be handsomely staged and costumed, and, as the loca tion of the plot is supposed to be in Yen ice and Corsica, an opportunity is afford ed to display some very rich and pictur esque costumes and scenery, VERY MUCH WANTED.

It Is now in operation in New York, Massachu setts and other states and is giving sat isfaction. It makes It possible to ac complish road improvements that the county would not attempt. The plan In the east Is for the state to pay half the cost of the road, the county a quar ter and the township a quarter. The work, however. Is uniform and is done under the supervision of a road com mission, which employs a state engi neer of roads, who supervises and gives instructions on the best method of road building under the different eomlitlons.

Now is the time of year when the farmer and stockman, in order to avoid serious losses among his stock, should see that his stables are warm and comfortable against the cold blizzards of the approaching winter, says an In diana correspondent of I'rairie 1 armor. Everj year the knell of warning is sounded through the agricultural jour nals. Yet in spite of this there are still many farmers who are careless and negligent in this respect. In traveling over the country one will see stables with the doors off of the hinges, boards knocked off the siding behind the 1 horses, allowing the rain and snow to blow In on them. Ho.us are often seen lying on the frozen ground for want of protecting shelter squealing day and night from cold. The feed Is another example of the farmer's negligence. The fodder Is left scattered all over the Held and in a bleached and washed out condition is thrown about the barnyard for the stock to pick up.

FORESTRY PRACTICE. I'ure nml Mixed \Vood»—Some Trees Demand l.ijilit—Other* Bear Shade. A forest may consist of a single spe | cies, when it is known as a pure wood, or of different species, when it is ■ known as a mixed wood. Pure woods are seldom found. While they are i more easily managed than mixed j woods, the dangers are greater, and the practice is seldom advisable. How | ever, mixed woods of few species are ; generally more desirable than those of J many species. When different species are grown to i getlier. the light conditions demanded • bv each become of paramount impor tance. Certain trees demand full ex posure to the sunlight and will not • grow in the shade of other trees. They ! are known as light demanding trees al -1 together. Generally trees with light I and scanty foliage belong to this class, although there are some exceptions. The birches, pines, honey locust, black locust, black cherry, asli and chestnut belong here. Other species thrive in partial shade and are known as shade bearing trees. Among these are the beech, maple, hemlock and oaks. If. then, light demanding and shade bear ing trees are planted together, care must be taken that the former are more rapid growers or else that they are giv en sufficient start to enable them to keep in the lead. Thinning becomes one of the most important operations in forestry. Here, again, the light conditions are all im portant and must be studied carefully. It is well known that a tree which grows iu the open field becomes broad, sturdy and vigorous, beautiful to look upon, but useless to the lumberman. In forest management just the reverse of tills type is demanded. The boles must be tail and straight and taper as little as possible. To secure this the forest should be thinned but lightly in its earlier years until the trees have at tained their principal height. Thinning may then lie increased, and these tall, slim boles will increase in size, making the type of tree most desired. By this method the annual layers of growth will be more uniform and tlie quality of timber better because the tree grows less rapidly in its earlier years than it would do under normal conditions. Nature must be made to do her own pruning In forest management, and, like all other primers, her work will be more effective if done when the branch es are small. When trees stand thick in their earlier years, the branches are killed out from want of light while yet small; hence no large knots remain to injure the quality of the timber. Statistics taken from the Black forest as to the number of trees per acr« growing In forests of different a.' show the averages to be about a- f.il lows: At 20 years. 4,000 trees per acre: nt 40 years. 1,000; at 60 years. 450: at 80 years, 350; at 100 years, 250. The number of trees per acre will need to vary with conditions of soil, climate tind altitude, but these figures may give a general idea of the great difference in number between young forests and old forests properly managed.

PERMANENT PASTURES. flow to Make Them More PritdnptlT* at a Small Expense. There are many sections where such a thing as a permanent pasture is not : known. The land all being alike suita- I ble for tillage, a rotation of crops is the usual practice perhaps of three or five years, of which one year or two it j may be used for pasturage. But here in New England, says American Cultivator, we have much land that Is unsuited for any other i purpose than pasturing and often ; scarcely fit for that. It may be that j the soil has washed from hillsides to i the lowlands until there is scarce { enough to furnish root hold to a scanty i growth of grass and bushes, or it may I be so filled with stone below the sur face as to resemble only a poorly : cleaned street with an inch or two of soil on the surface and a sort of bro | ken pavement under it. ' The problem that often confronts the farmer is how to make such land fur ; nisii summer feed for his stock with out a greater expenditure for labor and | fertilizer than the food will be worth. Many of these old pastures have for j years had their crops grazed off and ; nothing returned but such grass and j roots as have decayed on the surface | or below it or the droppings of the an ' imals as they roamed over the field in ; summer. They are not lacking so ; much in vegetable matter as in the 1 mineral elements of fertility. They ; may have a greater amount of root : growth than the crop upon them j would lead one to suspect—that is, they 1 are what is often called rootbound, and this must be remedied in the first place i by breaking up these roots. A good harrow run over these fields j will do this, the cutaway or disk har i row being the best, but a sharp tooth | ed and heavy spike harrow will do i very good work if it is run over it sev j eral times Barely scratching the sur ( face is not enough, but it needs to be ! scarified av deep a* it will allow, and if it is gone over five or six times the last harrowing will be of more benefit j than all that have been given before. For the Now England climate and I soil we think the best time to do this • work is in the spring, while the ground is yet soft from the spring thaw. Far ther south or t>n the clay soils of the west it may be done in the fall, but in either case we would sow upon it j clover seed in the spring, using ten to j fifteen pounds of the small red clover and about one-lialf that amount of the j white clover. The coming in of other | grass we should trust to the seed al ready in the soil of the grasses that are already there, though certainly it would do no harm to add blue grass and red top seed if one feels warrant , ed to pay the expense. We started to toll how a permanent pasture may be made more productive nt small expense, yet we think that the j improvement would warrant an ex j penditure for fertilizer to the extent ! of 200 pounds of aeid phosphate or of fine ground bonemeal and 100 pounds of muriate of potash to the acre when the seed was sown, and if the soil Is very light this amount might be con siderably increased, or doubled at least, I to the advantage of the owner.

A IS ovel WnlliinK < oaf a Die— I The I'ni v< k rK(il I we of Far. A handsome gown that is at on«' mtl the same time a suit for ordinary walk ing and for the voidest days lias been invented, and as a conscientious sort; of fashion writer 1 make haste to ex-j plain just how sueli a thing may be. \ This suit is made in tin? form of an or-, dinary walking style, with satin hands stitched on the skirt so as to simulate a flounce and straps up the skirt quite to the waist. These are about two inches wide on the lower part of the skirt and one on tin; rest. The waist is made as an Eton, with straps from j the neck down. From the underarm portion, across the back and down to' the luist line in front the straps are not sewed to the waist. Thus a regular yoke of black broadtail is slipped in and protects the chest ami back against the rigorous weather. This is adjusta ble and is a rich and handsome addi tion. It is mostly intended for a skat ing suit, th.nigh there has as yet been framed no 'aw against its being worn for anything else. The suit iu question is of rather heavy cheviot, and the lower part of the waist is lined with chamois, and sleeves of t?ie same can be worn. The belt is of black satin like the straps and fastens in front with a very large buckle. There is much to be said in favor of such a design, as it leaves the ; body free for exercise and is yet quite i warm enough for any weather we are I likely to have. In the way of luxury there was ; shown today a complete dress made of : that rather frail but beautiful broad tail fur. The skirt was cut so that it did not show a single fold around the waist or hips. The bodice was in the form of a short jacket, and this was bound with a narrow band of black fur of some kind. The jacket closed across from left to right and had three enor mous buttons. A fancy tab was placed below the waist line in front under the belt. Around the bottom was a band of the narrow fur. The sleeves were | coat shape. If a woman wants to be right in the ! swim, she must have fur everywhere and on everything where it can be put i Sometimes one thinks the use of fur is carried a little too far—for instance, ! when we find a row of it around a | petticoat. No animal is now sure that he will not be skinned to furnish beau tiful woman with something intended to make her more comfortable or at tractive. Even pigs are afraid, for they, too, contribute.

Professor Syle, a member of the fac ulty of a western university, cannot tolerate snobbishness tin the part of his scholars, and any such offense la sure to call forth some keen, sarcastic comment.
