THE FARMER’S RESOLVE.
I seen an advertisement in a city magazine,
Of some new patent medicine, they called it
Tiredine,
An’ said a quart—ten doses—was the surest
kind o’ cure
For thew whose inclinations for to work was
rather poor.
It seems to me that that’s the stuff for me to
go an’ buy
For that young son o’ mine to take an’ sort o’
make him spry. :
He needs a thurrer bracin’ up when heytime
comes around.
Although when fish is runnin’ good he’s pretty
slick an’ round,
1 dun’no’ why it is that boy kin take a heavy
un
An’ To from ten to twenty miles, an’ think
he’s havin’ fun:
But when ther«’s suthin’ for to do that’sin the
plowin’ line.
He doesn’t even seem to have the symptom of
a spine.
He'll take in all the picnics, an’ he'll work like
all possessed
At pusning scups for country gals, but never
has no chest
When’t come to tossin’ up the hay or gatherin’
in the wheat—
The very idea of that seems to knock him off
his feet.
An’ so I think I'll go to town and sample that
there stuff,
An’ mebbe buy a lot for Tom—one bottle ain't
enough.
Ten dce-es may suffice to put an average man
in trim,
But Tom—1 think I'll hafter get a dozen
quarts for him.
—When the leaves are allowed to go
to waste there is but httle actual loss
ot valuable manure that might have
been saved by using the leaves as an
absorbent. :
—With all the tests that have been
made at the experiment stations with
strawberries the ‘‘best” variety has
not yet been discovered, as varieties
condemned at one place are highly
praised at another.
—1It is foolish to attempt to improve
cattle by selections on the farm, The
shortest road in that direction is to be-
gin with the thoroughbred males. In
a few years the characteristics of the
entire herd will be changed.
—Keeping food before stock causes
the animals to refuse it at some time.
All kinds of stock prefer variety, and
will thrive better when fed at regular
periods. It is an indication of laziness
when the troughs are kept full, and it
is also a waste of food.
—The best method of keeping hens
in good laying condition is to afford
them a scratching place. The grain
should be scattered in leaves, cut
straw, or even dirt, So as to compe:
them to work. Idienessis a vice that
leads to egg-eating and feather pulling.
preventing that condition which pro-
mote~ egg production.
—Do not loss sight of the fact that
all animals on the farm are kept tor
profit, It should not be satisfactory to
keep an animal through the winter at
a standstill, looking to the spring and
summer for the increase. The winter
is the season when the greatest gain
should be made, as the labor can then
be more conveniently bestowed to the
care and feeding ot stock.
. .
—A farm can be made very fertile
without an ounce of manure by tue
use of commercial fertilizers, and al
though the fertilizers may apparently
be more expensive, yet the increased
yield of the crops will bean advantage
gained. Fertilizers are more ceriain
in results, as tuey supply plants wiih
foud that is availiable from the start
until the maturity of the crop.
—High prices tor choice animals
are indicative of excellence. A horse
has sold for over $100,000, a cow for
$30 000 a raw tor $6000, a barnyard
fowl for $100, and a dog for $4000.
QOuly a tew individuals excel so higulv,
bowever, but when such prices cau be
obtained for a single specimen the val
ue of all other animals of the breeds to
which they belong increases propor-
tionately.
—Marl was at one time in great
favor, and gives excellent results on
grass land. It cousists largely of lime,
and is excellent for composting win
manure. Its bulk is the greatest
obistacle to its use, as the cost ot rai
road transportation and hauling renders
it more expensive than should be the
case. Where it can be procured
cheaply, however, it will be found of
much value in proportion to the cost of
gome other fertilizers.
—Going out with a saw hatchet,
and hacking off the limbs of apple
trees promiscuously, is not the correct
way to trim a tree. Many trees need
not be deprived of a single limb, re-
quiring shortening of the branches
only, so as to give symmetry by re-
moving some of the wood that hangs
over the tree. No one should attempt
to trim a tree unless it is understood
how to do it properly.
—Thereis plenty of work on the
farms even when enforced idleness ex-
ists in the cities. Why is the farmer
at a loss to procure help while hun:
dreds are seeking employment ? It is
perhaps because farm work never ends.
There are no regular houre. The
farm hand riges early and works late.
In his favor, however, is the fact that
he has but few expenses, board and
lodging being provided his wages being
nearly clear. His work is often every
day in the week, and his opportunities
for advancement or education limited,
through there are exceptions in many
cases. :
—The gypsy moth is slowly making
headway, despite, the efforts of the
State of Massachusetts to exterminate
it. and appeal has been made to the
National Government for aid. 1t may
be stated that in comparison with this
enemy all other afflictions of the
farmer are insignificant, and if it gets
beyond control ot its present location it
will entail millions of dollars loss, as
well as bring ruin to thousands, It is
slowly moving in this direction, and it
preventive measures are to be taken
there 18 no time to lose.
—A stack of straw may be of bu:
litile value, owing to its bulk, which
makes the travsportation of .sueh
material to market too costly, bu
when it is cut up fine, and fed with
grain. [tv wil] be more than doubled
in value. It may not equal other
foods, but it is worth something, and
should be utilized to the best advan
tage. It applied to bedding purposes
it will be of greater value when out, as
the refuse can then be more con-
veniently used as an absorvent in the
manure heap.
-——The joints and muscles are so
lubricated by Hood’s Sarsaparilla that
all rheumatism and stiffness soon disap-
pear Try it.

Nevember Days.
November is a month of rainy, disagreeable
days. The damp, ccld air penetrates every-
where and chills the blood, laying the system
open to the danger of colds, pneum nia and
kindred complaints. There isbnt one remedy
that stimulates the system and fortifies it
against such attacks, and that is whiskey.
Notsuch a whi-key as is generally palmed off
on the public,buta whiskey of known purity and
quality. Such a whiskey is Klein's Silver Age
Duquesne or Bear Creek Ryes. ‘lhese whis-
kies have been before the public for many
years and find favor wherever purity is re-
quired. Physicians prescribe them ; hospitals
use them, and every reputable dealer sells
them.
These goods are for sale by S. Shloss, agent,
Williamsport, Pa, at regular prices. 38-43

Br AS PIECE MEAT.
SIX MONTHS UNDER THREE DOCTORS,
NO BENEFIT. COMPLEI'ELY CURED
IN 3 MONTHS BY CUTICURA.
Cuticura has been a blessing to me. My ba-
by was about four weeks old, when she first
got iezema. It was on her head and all over
her body, which was raw as a piece of meat. 1
doctored for six months with three doctors
here, and she +till kept getting worse, A lady
friend of mine advised me to get Cuticura Kem
edies. They proved to be just as good as you
recommended. Baby was six months old
when | began to use Cuticura Remenies, and in
three 1.onths’ time she was cu ed. She is fif-
teen months old now, and is well and hearty.
I am very thankiul,
MRS RICHARD CROMPTON,
West Middlesex, Mercer Co., Pa.
There is more remedial power to one of your
cakes ot Cuticura Soap than there isto some of
the three-doll.r treatments of these dermatol-
ogists fur the acne, fleshworms, ete. It has.
cured me ot the above effe tion, ant I think it
can cure others if they use it right and accord-
i.g to directions.

CASTORIA.
“Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil-
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Oseoop,
Lowell, Mass.
“Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in-
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”

“Our physicians in the children’s depart-
ment have spoken highly of their experience
in their outside practice with Castoria, and
although we only have among our medical
supplies what is known as regular product,
yet we are free to confess that the merits of
Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it,

exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell
